"Give me two feet of cloth." Xiaoguo asked for a white cloth with green patterns.
The woman happily directed the people to cut the cloth. Seeing that Xiaoguo was buying everything for her child, she couldn't help but ask, "Our floral cloth is also very beautiful. Do you want to take a look?"
It's just a matter of waiting, Xiao Guo thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
The woman led Xiaoguo to the counter and pointed to the pieces of cloth hanging there. She said, "This is the newly dyed cloth in our workshop. The color of each piece is very bright. It is also very durable and not easy to unravel."
Xiaoguo thought the clothes looked really good and thought that she really needed new clothes. There were only a few pieces of clothes in the closet and they were all old. It was time to make a few sets of clothes. So she nodded and asked her to tear two pieces of cloth, each five feet long. After they went out, the basket was already almost half full. Xiaoguo couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. She still had so much to buy, but how come it was almost full now?
Then I bought some vegetable seeds at the stall and went to the pork stall. "How much is the pork?"
"Pork is five cents a pound, pork elbows are six cents a pound. Bones are four cents a pound, and pork fat is two cents a pound."
"Give me half a pig's leg, two large pork elbows, three pig's trotters, five pounds of bones, and ten pounds of lard." Xiaoguo ordered a little of everything.
The butcher was chopping the meat. Xiao Guo looked around while waiting. He found a basin of pig intestines under the board. His eyes lit up. "How do you sell this?"
"That one is unsellable and too smelly. I'm going to throw it away." The butcher said with disgust as he looked at the pig intestines.
Xiaoguo laughed when he heard this. People nowadays haven't figured out the cleaning skills, so no matter how you wash it with water, it will still stink, so people won't buy it to eat.
This is a good bargain, pig intestines are delicious, "How about this, you sell it to me."
The butcher looked at him as if he was crazy and said, "If you want it, I'll give it to you directly."
Just at this moment, the meat that Xiao Guo wanted had been chopped. The butcher helped Xiao Guo put the pile of meat into the basket, taking out the things inside first, and then putting in the pork and pork intestines before putting the other things on top. This way, he would not worry about dirtying the books and fabric.
Xiaoguo walked along the stalls and bought a few pairs of shoes, then went to the grain store and bought a big bag of rice and flour. She was almost done. When she was walking towards the market entrance, she met someone selling live poultry. Xiaoguo immediately thought of buying a few. It would be great to have meat and eggs at home, so she bought five chickens and two ducks.
This time he was carrying a full basket on his back, with chickens and ducks tied up by their legs in his hands, and he also brought a large straw cage that he had asked the boss for, which he took home to make a nest for the ducks to lay eggs in.
Walking happily towards the donkey cart, Xiaoguo originally wanted to buy some vegetables, but considering that he couldn't carry it this time and the donkey couldn't carry so many things, he gave up. He thought about it next time and walked towards home humming a song.
Xiaoguo, who was humming a song along the way, apparently forgot that he still had space.
At noon, when the sun reached its highest point in the sky, Xiaoguo and the donkey cart appeared in Taohua Village.
At this time, no one in the village was at home cooking. Xiaoguo happily drove the donkey cart home quickly. When he got out of the car and opened the door, he saw Zhuangzhuang and two cows basking in the sun in the yard. Zhuangzhuang heard the noise and looked towards the door quickly, "Mom!"
Xiao Guo sighed and caught Zhuang Zhuang who was running towards him, "Did you have breakfast this morning?"
Zhuangzhuang was a little nervous but still said obediently, "I haven't eaten yet. I want to wait for mom to come back and eat together."
After hearing this, Xiao Guo got a little angry, "Didn't I tell you to eat first? I don't know when I'll be back. What if Mom comes back at night? Are you going to wait for her until night?"
Although Xiaoguo knew Zhuangzhuang was sensible, she still felt a little sad. Fortunately, she came back early. If she had really come back in the evening, Zhuangzhuang would probably be hungry until the evening. This child...
"Mom, mom, don't be angry. I won't do it again next time." Zhuangzhuang saw that his mother was a little angry, and his voice was filled with confused crying.
Xiaoguo squatted down and hugged Zhuangzhuang, saying patiently, "Zhuangzhuang, mother is not angry. I will only feel relieved if Zhuangzhuang can take good care of himself. When mother is outside and thinks that Zhuangzhuang is hungry in order to wait for mother to eat, do you know how sad mother is?"
After saying that, Zhuangzhuang rubbed Xiaoguo's head and said, "I know, mother. I will take good care of myself."
Xiao Guo nodded, kissed Zhuangzhuang's face and said gratefully, "Thank you Zhuangzhuang for thinking about me and waiting for me to eat."
