Chapter 20: The Yang Family's Young Daughter-in-law
Early in the morning of the next day, the entire Yang family became active.
Although we didn't have to go to work today, everyone got up earlier than usual.
Almost as soon as the rooster crowed for the first time, everyone started to get up.
Sisters-in-law Liu Huazhen and Wang Baomei made a simple breakfast. After eating, they all went to the town carrying baskets and backpacks.
Today is a public market day, and people from the countryside will set up stalls with vegetables and grains grown at home.
It is said to be barter, but in fact, most of the time it is the workers from the city who come with money and tickets to buy.
The people would exchange the supplies at home for what they needed.
It's just a transaction in a different way.
Lin Wanwan followed Cai Guifen, and Yang Daya walked next to her.
Almost all the family members went out except Old Man Yang.
Old man Yang doesn't like to join in the fun, so he chooses to stay at home to help feed the chickens and watch the house.
After being tired for half a month, it's time to have a good rest.
Lin Wanwan's things were all in Yang Qingfeng's backpack. He walked very easily with the basket in his hand.
Although it was still half an hour's journey to the town, Lin Wanwan was already looking forward to the moment of bartering.
"Aunt San, Qingshan Town is just ahead. Let's walk faster."
When Yang Daya saw the town entrance, she became impatient because she hadn't seen her naughty brother for several days.
Ever since Yang Guodong went to his grandmother's house, the entire Yang family has become much quieter.
Seeing that she would be able to meet her brother soon, Yang Daya was very excited.
Since this brat is not at home, their family has had very good food these days.
When the time comes, I must describe in detail to my stinky little brother the aroma of the food and the deliciousness of the meat.
Seeing Yang Daya suddenly quicken her pace, Lin Wanwan also increased her own pace.
The two of them quickly left Cai Guifen and the other two behind for a distance.
Under the leadership of Yang Daya, they soon arrived at the place where they usually set up their stalls.
There were already quite a few people setting up stalls in this place. Yang Daya quickly occupied a space and took out the woven bag from her backpack and spread it on the ground.
Place the cabbage, beans and cucumbers that were just picked in the morning in the backpack on top.
After just one night, the cucumbers, which were originally only thicker than a finger, had grown big enough to be sold.
No one in the Yang family was willing to eat this first crop of cucumbers.
They all want to take advantage of this market to exchange more things to take back.
There is not much salt left at home, but I don’t need to buy animal oil this time.
A lot of animal fat was extracted from the wild boars and rabbits caught before, which can last for a while.
However, things like salt, soy sauce and vinegar must be added, otherwise the food will not taste good enough.
Especially... As the cucumbers grow bigger, I always feel like something is missing if I don’t add some soy sauce and vinegar to the smashed cucumbers.
And when stewing eggplant, you also need to add some soy sauce or soybean paste.
We have some soybean paste made by Wang Baomei at home. Wang Baomei is not only good at pickling vegetables, but also good at making soybean paste.
In this regard, even her sister-in-law Liu Huazhen is no match for her.
However, Liu Huazhen has her own strengths. She cooks delicious dishes and is even better at needlework.
The two axes each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they have been well-matched in Lao Yang's family.
"Grandma, grandma, come here quickly, I've given you some space."
Yang Daya had just taken out the things in her backpack and put them in order when Cai Guifen and the others walked over slowly.
At Yang Daya's warm greeting, Cai Guifen instructed her two daughters-in-law and son to put out all the things they brought.
Apart from the pickled rabbit, they brought nothing that was taboo.
Soon, many people appeared on the street one after another.
Especially there are many workers in the city, because it is still early and it is not time to go to work.
These workers can come to buy vegetables first and then go to work after buying them.
The market only takes place once every two weeks, and everyone takes it very seriously. The Yang family’s stall was soon surrounded by people.
Although many villagers went up the mountain to pick mushrooms after work last night, they didn't find anything because the places with a lot of mushrooms had already been visited by Lin Wanwan and Yang Daya.
Because of this, Yang's mushrooms are particularly popular.
In a short while, all the mushrooms were sold out, and a lot of vegetables from the house were also sold.
By the time Liu Huazhen's maternal family brought Yang Guodong over, there were not many vegetables left on their stall.
The in-laws were very cordial when they met.
Cai Guifen took Liu Huazhen's mother to the side and they chatted affectionately for a long time.
Yang Guodong was pulled aside by Yang Daya and told about the changes in the family during this period.
When Yang Guodong heard that his family had eaten a lot of meat in the past few days, he felt very upset.
If he had known there was meat at home, he would not have gone to his grandmother's house.
Although the food was always exceptionally good every time he went to his grandmother's house, it was a special favor to him as her grandson.
But no matter how good potatoes and eggplants are, they can never be as delicious as meat.
Yang Guodong felt so regretful!
But no matter how jealous or angry he was, he was still very curious about Lin Wanwan.
Under Daya's leadership, Yang Guodong quickly came to Lin Wanwan.
"Did you see that, Xiaodong? This is our Third Aunt."
"I'm telling you, Third Aunt is a very kind person. You have to protect her from now on and not let anyone bully her."
"Now hurry up and call someone to follow Third Aunt. I guarantee you'll have delicious food and drinks."
Lin Wanwan felt a little embarrassed by Yang Daya's praise, but she still kept her eyes on Yang Guodong.
Yang Guodong is a little boy of six or seven years old.
His skin was a little tanned, and it was obvious that he had a lively and active personality.
A pair of big, wet eyes are particularly bright, and you can tell at a glance that he is intelligent.
However, the fact that he subconsciously tugged at the hem of his clothes with his hands showed that he was very unfamiliar with Lin Wanwan, so he felt a little embarrassed.
But no matter what, under Yang Daya's guidance and threats, Yang Guodong still greeted Lin Wanwan obediently.
"Aunt San, I heard you were incredibly lucky. Not only did you find a rabbit, but you also picked tons of mushrooms."
"Aunt San, I love mushrooms the most. Can you give me some of the mushrooms you picked?"
I have to say, in the world of children, there is no such thing as intrigue and all their focus is on eating.
"sure!"
"This is the candy your Third Uncle bought for you. Take one and share it between you two."
"We've almost sold out our vegetables, Daya, how about the three of us go to the market?"
Lin Wanwan felt very proud of participating in the whole process of selling vegetables.
She is also a street vendor and this day is worth remembering.
"I'll go tell grandma and my mom, and we'll leave right away."
When Yang Guodong heard that Lin Wanwan wanted to go to the market, he became excited.
He jumped and ran to Cai Guifen, told her about the situation of the three of them, and after reporting to his mother Liu Huazhen, he went out with Lin Wanwan.
