The Lunar New Year is coming soon after the 8th day of the twelfth lunar month, so we have to continue the shopping before the New Year. And it's better to keep the old man busy so that he won't have to sit idle and think about things.
"My dear, the big market in Taishitun is open every Tuesday, Friday, and August. Let's go to the market tomorrow to check it out. The reservoir fish bought in Taishitun must be real. Their village is right next to the reservoir, so it must be good!"
It's rare that Lao Jiang still remembers to go to the market. Since he wants to go and there's nothing to do at home, then just go!
"Okay! Remember to wake me up tomorrow morning so I don't get up late. We have to leave early, otherwise everyone will leave."
You have to go to the market in the morning to buy a lot of agricultural products from the surrounding area. There are still many stalls left, but she doesn't know what they have.
Who told her she had never been there!
The father and son deliberately went to bed early at night and had to get up early in the morning. Since they were going to join in the fun, they had to go when there were the most people.
It was a late winter morning. Jiang Cha was lying in the warm quilt, listening to Jiang's father's hurried knocking on the door.
Speechlessly looking at the time on the phone, she was woken up at only 5 o'clock. It was said to be early, but it was too early, right?
"Get up! Stop knocking, I'll be out right away."
Reluctantly getting up, washing and packing, the father and son set out under the stars on a cold winter morning.
She drives a Peugeot, which she had someone help her buy after she returned. Driving a fancy car in China would be too conspicuous, so when she asked someone to buy her a car, she specifically asked them to buy a regular one.
The man then half-jokingly said to her, "Sister, the most common and ordinary cars are Xiali and minivans. When you come back, you'll see them everywhere on the street."
At that time, she didn't realize what the so-called "more" meant, but now she finally saw it on the street.
The streets are filled with red Xiali cars and yellow minivans. The most common of these two types of vehicles are taxis, which are affordable and suitable for most people.
There are also expensive taxis. For example, the taxi the father and son took to the airport that day fooled them since they were both from the capital.
"If you're sleepy, take a nap. We're over 80 kilometers away, so it'll take at least an hour or two." (Back then, there were no navigation systems, so driving required looking at a map, and you had to factor in the time it took to get there the wrong way.)
Father Jiang waved his hand. The old man slept little, and he usually got up around this time.
That is to say, his daughter would sleep until nine or ten o'clock every day, and this morning he woke her up when the door was almost knocked.
Jiang Cha remembered walking this road before. At that time, in order to earn tuition fees, he went to the industrial zone of Shunyi and found a temporary job.
It seemed that she often took bus 915 at that time. Later, people stopped looking for summer jobs, and she didn't have time to come here anymore.
For her, time is money, because she has to seize every opportunity to work and earn money to make a living.
So until my senior year, I wasn’t very familiar with my classmates, let alone my roommates.
While others were shopping, watching movies and getting manicures, she was working.
While others were having a party and having dinner together, she was still working.
In short, I didn’t have much communication with my classmates and roommates, and we didn’t have any common topics.
It’s like she’s clearly living in financial difficulty, but because her parents are still around and have a decent income, she can’t apply for subsidies.
Her grandmother is even more patriarchal and believes that girls should just go out and find a class to attend when they become adults.
Why spend money to go to college?
She works hard to make money so that she can have her own little home in the future, without having to give up her room to others all the time, or squeeze into a small, shabby house separated from the wing.
It's cold in the winter and hot in the summer. There's also too much clutter next door, so a mouse might pop out from any corner at any time.
So she is quite grateful to have come to this era.
Because she took the risk of robbing Director Wang's house, she was able to live freely in this era. Later, whether she went to the United States or lived a simple life, she always returned with a lot of gains.
All of this is thanks to the gift from the God of Time Travel. Her space is simply a god-like existence.
Perhaps because they left early, there were not many people on the road, and they soon arrived at the Shunyi winery, the famous Niulanshan.
The reason why she could tell from such a long distance was thanks to Jiang's father who had a very sensitive nose.
From a distance away, people started saying that there must be a winery nearby. Then, looking at the road signs around, I realized we must have reached Niulanshan.
As expected of the well-known Niulanshan Erguotou, the whole street is filled with the smell of wine dregs. People with a low alcohol tolerance will probably feel dizzy after walking two blocks.
It was already dawn when we arrived here, and we made an unexpected discovery: there was a mosque here, which seemed to be quite old.
Then we headed north and almost took the wrong road several times.
It was all thanks to Dad Jiang getting off the car and asking around that we didn't take the wrong road. When Erbei and the others came here on their bikes to buy fish, they were really amazing.
"Potatoes are five yuan a bag, bell peppers are ten yuan for three pounds..."
"The pieces of cloth are all ten yuan a piece, take your pick and choose as you like. Don't miss it if you pass by!"
"Walnuts are six yuan a pound, hazelnuts are two pounds, peanuts are three yuan..."
"Freshly roasted chestnuts!"
As soon as Jiang Cha and Jiang Dad entered the market, they heard all kinds of shouting. It was really lively.
Because the weather is cold, those setting up stalls are wrapped up very tightly and are obviously wearing much more than those who are strolling around.
Why are there so many people here when Yang just came out? She initially thought that the big market was just a large vegetable market, but when she went in, she realized that there was everything.
There were vegetables and fruits, fresh meat and cooked food, clothes, shoes and hats, pots and pans, and everything else, which really opened her eyes.
