"Mother, I think we don't need to wait for the market. The peddler will come to the village to sell it in a few days."

"At least he won't come until after the fifth day of the New Year."

"The market won't open until the tenth day of the lunar month, so if there are peddlers coming to the village to sell things, buy some to try first."

"Okay, I don't know when it will come. I still have some glutinous rice flour left at home, so I can make it myself."

"It's too troublesome. Let's just eat the ready-made food."

Some money still has to be earned by others.

You also need to prepare sesame seeds and brown sugar to make glutinous rice balls, which is not easy to make.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a peddler came carrying a load on his shoulder.

Shouting: "Tangyuan! Round and fragrant Tangyuan! Handmade Tangyuan, after eating one, you want to eat a second one."

The old man was surrounded by children from the village.

There is no child who is not greedy.

Not only children came out, but adults also came out to watch the fun.

Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue went over to take a look and saw the big, white, round dumplings clearly placed in the basket.

"Uncle, how much is it?"

"It's two cents each. It's made with the best glutinous rice, sesame seeds, and rock sugar. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after you've had it once."

"Give me thirty."

"Okay, I'll bag it for you right away. It can be stored at this temperature and won't go bad even if you eat it until spring."

He talked happily while packing the bags.

The villagers were really used to this.

Li Mingqing spends money lavishly. This is not something I've seen once or twice, so I'm completely used to it.

Old Lady Li originally wanted to buy a few but was stopped by him.

"Mom, these thirty dumplings are enough for the whole family. Each person can have one. You'll get sick of eating too much of this stuff. Let's go buy more when we go to the market in a couple of days."

The peddler sat on the side of the road, and in the end only two or three people bought from him.

It’s not that the folks don’t like to eat it, but they are reluctant to eat it.

Xiangnan jumped up happily and shouted, "Let's eat dumplings!"

Zhang Cuihua rolled her eyes and said, "Ming Qing is really generous. My child is so greedy. Can you give us some?"

"cannot."

"Can't you even satisfy this little request of our fellow villagers?"

"That's all you need? I haven't left yet, why don't you just buy it?"

Of course she wanted to buy it directly, but how could she buy it directly without money?

Wang Daguo pulled her back a step and whispered, "Mom, stop talking."

"Didn't I tell you that you have something to eat? And you still look down on me!"

"I'm not disgusted, but don't lose face in front of outsiders."

"Don't worry about it. The peddler won't remember it once he leaves this village. There's no need to lose face. The most important thing is to eat it."

"Daya, don't just stand there like an idiot. Take your mother home."

Zhang Cuihua cursed in a low voice: "Are you my son? How can you marry a wife if you are so shameless?"

The villagers' attention was all on their family.

Yang Daya came out carrying Siniu, but the child stuck her head into the basket and couldn't be brought back.

"Daughter, what's wrong with you? What do you like?"

Sun Jiaxue followed Si Niu's gaze and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, are you attracted to the rattle? Your big, round eyes have been staring at it."

The peddler handed the rattle to Si Niu, and she immediately stretched out her tender little white hands to hold it.

"I really like it."

Yang Daya said readily, "I bought it."

Da Zhu Niang said inappropriately: "She's just a little girl, why are you being so nice to her? As long as she has food and drink and doesn't starve to death, it's fine. Why are you pampering her like this?"

"Don't worry about other people's affairs."

Old Lady Xu also jumped in to add fuel to the fire: "Indeed, little girls are meant to be raised by others, so just make do with them. My Yaozu is a boy, and even if he has great potential in the future, we won't spoil him like this."

Old Lady Li glanced at the two of them and said, "I didn't ask you to take care of so many trivial matters."

"This is no small matter, elder sister. I'm afraid you'll suffer."

They wanted to say it when they saw Si Niu's new clothes when they visited her on New Year's Day, and now they finally said it out loud.

Yang Daya said dissatisfiedly: "Two ladies, please stop meddling in other people's business. If I don't treat my own daughter well, who else should I treat well? I'm not as wicked as you."

"How can you say that, Li's wife?"

"Am I not right?"

Old Lady Xu scolded, "She's just a money-loser. I think Jiaxue is pregnant with a girl."

Sun Jiaxue, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, retorted: "It's fine if she's a girl, as long as she's healthy."

"Huh, you guys are such a weird family."

If girls do the work, they will earn fewer work points.

Women don't have as much physical strength as men.

It concerns the family's prosperity and decline and the work points and food distribution in the next few years, so everyone in the village likes boys.

Dazhu Niang was worried when she looked at Sun Jiaxue's belly.

Why is there no movement in Liu Jiajia's belly? She said that she is not doing any work because she wants to give birth to a child. She stays at home like a big boss every day.

She shouldn't have let this educated youth in in the first place.

She has such a unclear background that she can't even get pregnant. It seems that the rumors in the village are probably true.

This is retribution for having someone die in his stomach.

When Liu Jiajia and Wang Dazhu came over, they were glared at fiercely by Dazhu's mother.

Seeing that so many people had no intention of buying, the peddler carried his shoulder pole and left.

Seeing so many people, Liu Jiajia said, "My family is building a new house, and I hope you guys can come and help."

As soon as the words fell, the villagers looked at each other in surprise.

help?

Dazhu's mother is so stingy that she won't even provide food. We are not fools, so we can't work for free.
