Maybe because I was busy this year, it felt like the New Year came especially quickly, and before I knew it, it was New Year’s Eve.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran were both woken up by their children. They were pulled to the living room at the same time, looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and then sat down next to the dining table.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran were urged to eat breakfast quickly before they woke up yet.
"Mom, hurry up! Have you forgotten that we have to go to the market soon? If you go too late, you won't be able to buy good things."
"Mom, you should eat quickly too, because we still have to go ride the bullock cart, and there will be no more seats later."
"Mom, please eat quickly. The porridge is not hot. I served it to you a long time ago and let it cool down."
"Mom, eat quickly. I saw some people passing by our door. They must be going to the market as well. We can't fall behind. We have to catch up quickly."
Zhang Tiantian was annoyed by the noise and could only change the subject: "Have you got your money? Don't go out on the street. You don't have money to buy things."
Then I saw four children taking out their small bags, indicating that their money was in the watch.
Gu Ranran looked at Zhang Tiantian helplessly and could only say helplessly: "You guys go and grab a seat first. Remember, we have one seat per person in our family, so don't take up too few. We'll finish breakfast and come over to ride the ox cart right away."
Gu Zili looked at his watch and couldn't help but remind him, "Sister, it's still early. The oxcart won't leave for half an hour. There are two oxcarts today, and they are taking turns running. There will be an oxcart running at any time. It will run every half an hour. There is room for us. Don't worry, we can go there later."
Before Gu Ranran could answer, Lu Zihao went over and hugged Gu Zili: "Uncle, you have already had breakfast, come with us to grab a seat, we need to take 11 seats, I am afraid we won't be able to get one."
Lu Zijie also came over to pull Gu Zili: "Uncle, let's go, let's go and grab a seat. We need to take the earliest ox cart. Today is New Year's Eve, and we need to go shopping early. If we go too late, some good things will be gone."
Gu Zili was helpless: "Zihao, Zijie, there are a lot of people selling things, there will be things available, they are still thinking about making money, the things they prepared are enough for today's purchases, wait a minute, we will go to ride the ox cart, okay? Just go 10 minutes early, there will definitely be a seat. It's too early in the morning, the wind is strong and it's very cold."
Lu Zijie and Lu Zihao began to pull Gu Zili forward: "No, uncle, we just want to go to the market early and get a spot on the ox cart as soon as possible."
Seeing that Gu Zili couldn't be pulled away, Lu Zimo and Lu Zixuan hurried to help. They pulled and pushed, and Gu Zili was soon pulled away.
As soon as they left, Gu Ranran couldn't help but complain: "Hey, those little brats are too noisy. It gives me a headache. They are so energetic and lively every day. They are too idle. It's time to go to school."
Zhang Tiantian agreed, "Yeah, they're full of energy every day, so noisy that they can't even stand up on their own. They easily drag them away."
Mother Zhang smiled and said happily, "All children are like this, especially boys. They need to be a little naughty and exercise more to stay healthy. It's so lively when they make a lot of noise."
Father Zhang complained disapprovingly: "Ah, daughters are still better, they are sweet and soft, not naughty, and well-behaved. Boys are different, they just make trouble every day, they have too much energy, and I can't handle it.
Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, when we get to the market, you two must keep a close eye on the children. There are too many people here, and we can't let them run around. If they get lost, it will be hard to find them, and we might be involved in human traffickers, so please be careful.
Your mother and I can't keep up with them, so let's go to the street. The four of you should each take one and keep an eye on them."
