Chu Tian watched the girl bring five or six hats of different sizes and asked him to choose. He then turned to look at Xinxin and Daya.

"Daya, Xinxin, you choose for yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Xinxin excitedly stepped forward and started to choose, while Daya looked at Chu Tian in surprise, and spoke embarrassedly after a while.

"Fourth Uncle, I don't want them. Give them all to Sister Xinxin."

Chu Tian chuckled, "Be good, this is a gift from your fourth uncle, so just choose it if you are asked to. Your sister Xinxin only needs one head!"

Daya was about to say something when Yao Xiujuan said, "Daya, you choose. This is a gift from your fourth uncle."

Upon hearing this, Daya thanked him embarrassedly and walked forward to choose a hat that suited her head shape.

Xinxin put it on her head happily and raised her head to show it to Old Mrs. Chu.

"Grandma, is Xinxin pretty?"

Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded, "Beautiful, Xinxin is the most beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Xinxin ran to Chu Lifang and Sun Jianjun to show them off, "Aunt, Uncle Jianjun, does Xinxin look pretty?"

"nice····"

Sun Jianjun and Chu Lifang were also full of praise.

Xinxin tirelessly ran to Dazhu and Daya, "Brother Dazhu, Sister Daya, does Xinxin look pretty?"

Daya smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said softly, "It looks good. Sister Xinxin is the prettiest."

Dazhu was still a straight guy, and he didn't understand why wearing a hat made her look good. But under Xinxin's eyes full of expectation (and pressure), he could only scratch his head and praise her.

“Beautiful, beautiful…”

Xinxin finally looked at Chu Tian and Yao Xiujuan. Could they both say it was not good-looking? They could only say it was good-looking.

Xinxin finally looked at her brother who was looking around blankly in Yao Xiujuan's arms and shouted, "Brother, look at your sister!"

Pingping seemed to understand Xinxin's voice. Following her voice, he lowered his head and saw Xinxin.

Xinxin asked with a smile, "Brother, does my sister look good?"

Pingping let out an "ah" and then started giggling with her eyes and eyebrows curved.

Xinxin was satisfied and shouted happily, "My brother also said I'm pretty..."

Chu Tian and Yao Xiujuan looked at each other and saw pampering and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Several people walked around the Grand Bazaar and everyone gained a lot. Chu Tian bought an exquisite knife made entirely by hand by the Uyghurs from a Uyghur boy.

(You can search for pictures online. The authentic traditional Uighur handmade knives are really beautiful. I have one at home!)

Yao Xiujuan bought a lot of dried meat and milk lumps from the Kazakhs, as well as a horse intestine which was particularly rare in that era.

Mrs. Chu paid out of her own pocket and bought a lot of dried wild mushrooms at a low price, and other dried goods...

Chu Tian bought a bowl of traditional Uyghur ice cream for each of the three children: Daya, Dazhu and Xinxin.

As for Chu Lifang and Sun Jianjun, the soon-to-be-engaged couple went shopping together. They agreed to meet at Sun Weiguo's place in two hours and then separated.

Yao Xiujuan handed her sleeping son to Chu Tian and walked behind him, while she supported the pregnant Li Meiling and walked in front. She looked at her and asked her while she was holding a bag of half a pound of dried meat in one hand.

"Meiling, you only bought dried meat?"

Li Meiling looked around and said, "I want to buy something else, but some of these things seem useless to me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an old Uyghur man sitting in a corner with an open sack in front of him, revealing golden Mohe cigarettes. His eyes lit up instantly, "Oh, I found what I wanted to buy."

Then he pulled Yao Xiujuan and walked towards the old man, "Uncle, how much are these Mohe cigarettes?"

The old man couldn't speak Mandarin, he spoke in Uyghur and gestured with his hands.

Yao Xiujuan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do. Then, a young Uyghur man happened to pass by. Chu Tian quickly grabbed him and asked, "Adasi, can you speak Chinese?"

The young man nodded and gestured with one finger, "A little bit."

Chu Tian nodded repeatedly, "A little bit is fine. Please ask the old man for us how much this Mohe cigarette costs!"

The young man quickly asked the price and said to Chu Tian, ​​"He grew it himself, at least fifty cents a pound."

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, it's cheap, even cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative. Li Meiling and Yao Xiujuan also thought that this price was very cheap, even cheaper than the mid-range Mohe cigarettes in the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to buy it?"

Li Meiling nodded repeatedly and said to the young man, "Buy, buy, tell the old man for me that I want to buy two kilograms, no, I want four kilograms!"

As he said that, he took out two dollars and handed it to the old man.

The young man quickly translated it, and the old man quickly stood up to help weigh four pounds of Mohe cigarettes and handed them to Li Meiling.

Yao Xiujuan thought for a moment and looked at Chu Tiandao, "Brother Tian, ​​I also want to buy two kilograms for my father."

Chu Tian nodded indifferently, "Buy it, don't buy two kilograms, this kind of opportunity is rare, buy four kilograms!"

Yao Xiujuan thought about it and nodded, took out two dollars and handed it over, and also took the four pounds of Mohe cigarettes that had been weighed.

Old Madam Chu looked at the Mo Heyan in front of her thoughtfully. She moved closer to Chu Tian, ​​tugged at his clothes and asked, "My dear grandson, what is this Mo Heyan? Is it tobacco leaves?"

Chu Tian nodded. "Well, it's just different from the tobacco leaves in my hometown. This one is grown by ethnic minorities themselves... It's quite popular in Xinjiang..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu also took out two dollars from her private pocket and handed them to Chu Tiandao, "Then you can buy four pounds for grandma, and I will give two pounds to your uncle and second uncle each."

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, and quickly pushed the money back, "Grandma, you don't need to pay, I'll buy it."

Old Madam Chu forcefully pushed the money back and said, "No, your eldest uncle and your second uncle are grandma's sons. As a mother, it's only natural for grandma to buy things for her own children occasionally."

"But you're just a nephew. Why are you buying things for them when it's not a festival? You're not their mother!"

“·····”

Chu Tian was speechless after hearing what Old Lady Chu said. In the end, it was Old Lady Chu who bought four kilograms of Mohe cigarettes out of her own pocket.

As for where Old Mrs. Chu got her private money, was it given by Chu Tian?

That's not true. The money in Mrs. Chu's hand was a few hundred yuan given by Chu Wen as a filial gift (extorted). Although she gave Chu Jie three hundred yuan at that time and asked him to go back to his hometown to pick up the Chu family, Chu Jie did not spend it. So when he came back, he returned the three hundred yuan and the two hundred yuan given by Chu Tian to the two of them.

"Weiguo, it seems that you are selling well?"

Chu Tian looked at the ground which was originally filled with straw mats, but now only a few were left. Then he saw the stalls next to it which had not changed much, and he couldn't help but think, it seems that these cheap straw mats are quite popular?
