In my memory, my father once had to deliver a shipment urgently, and Xia Chuhe insisted on going with him.
The pickup truck was loaded with chickens and ducks, making the whole vehicle stink. Xia Chuhe regretted it after only a short while.
But she was very stubborn when she was little. She insisted on coming here and refused to go back no matter how badly it stinked.
However, Xia Chuhe's frequent glances out the car window betrayed her true feelings. Especially when they passed the market, she practically leaned half her body out of the window.
Lu Xingyi, being a shrewd man, could easily understand his daughter's thoughts. He immediately pulled over, scooped Xia Chuhe out of the car, and lifted her over his head to head to the market.
The father and daughter were both overjoyed.
The daughter rode on her father's shoulders and shouted, "Riding a horse! Riding a horse!"
The father, supporting his daughter, laughed: "Let's go to the market! Taking my little darling to the market!"
Loudspeakers along the roadside hawked their wares, and various stalls were filled with melon seeds, candied dates, pastries, and all sorts of snacks.
Xia Chuhe scurried down, her short legs swinging incredibly fast. She tasted a salted melon seed here, and a candied date there.
The jujubes were incredibly sweet; Xia Chuhe ate one and then took another.
The old woman tending the stall said with a pained expression, "Little girl, you can have just tried one, why do you keep trying them!"
"You're so stingy! What's wrong with me trying one of your dates? How am I supposed to know if it's good or not if I don't try it? How am I supposed to decide whether to buy it or not if I don't know if it's good or not?" Little Xia Chuhe spouted a bunch of twisted logic.
Lu Xingyi hurriedly bought dates and handed the money to the stall owner.
As the old woman collected the money, she chuckled and said something that was hard to tell whether it was a compliment or an insult: "Your daughter is quite fierce! She's got a real silver tongue!"
Because they were in a hurry to deliver the goods, the father and daughter only spent about ten minutes browsing the market.
But in Xia Chuhe's memory, it seemed like they had been to a market for a long time, and the whole day was filled with the sweet smell of jujubes.
In the days that followed, the city developed faster and faster, and the Xia family's farm grew bigger and bigger. Xia Chuhe never went to such a noisy, crowded, lively and happy market again.
Now, inside the car, Xia Chuhe seemed to smell the sweet scent of jujubes again.
