Chapter 257: The bustling market



Red Star Commune, big market.

When Xia Weian and his friends arrived, quite a few people had already arrived.

Stalls are allowed throughout the entire street.

The scene was very lively, both buyers and sellers were very active, and it was rare to see happy faces on everyone's faces.

Song Qingyun and Xia Weian exchanged glances. The common people must be longing for freedom.

Blindly suppressing and controlling goes against human nature.

Such a large gathering can reflect everyone's mentality.

The villagers of Qingshan Village quickly got off the tractors, those who were setting up stalls looked for places, and those who were buying things started strolling around.

Everyone had a happy look on their face.

Xia Weian, Han Chengwu and Li Zhao helped to carry things.

Song Qingyun organized the children to stand together. There were many children, both big and small, and each one had to be very careful.

"Dad, Mom, there are so many people here, the things must be selling well!" Xia Changle said happily.

"We need to find a slightly larger open space so that we can set up a bigger stall." Song Qingyun was looking around.

Han Chengwu, who was tall, looked around and found that there was a place not far away where no one was, so he pointed there.

"Aunt San, is that okay?"

"Okay, big enough."

The group walked over quickly and quickly put their things in place.

Song Qingyun put the spicy slices directly in the basin and placed them in the front on a stool.

Song Qingyun put the cut pieces aside.

Lu Huailin, Gu Xu, Xia Changle and Xia Qingyu also arranged their tables, with couplets placed on the other side, as well as the word "Fu". Everyone could see the bright red paper as they walked by, which was very festive.

A space was reserved on the table for Lu Huailin to write couplets. If anyone didn't like the ready-made ones, they could write them on the spot.

Xia Zhihuan and Xia Sui were two little ones who sold medicinal herbs. They spread a large mat on the ground and placed the herbs on it according to categories.

There are a few individual bags containing loose herbs, and the others are medicine packets.

Each portion was arranged very neatly, and the two little girls were very serious about their work.

Xia Ruokui and her three sisters lifted the cloth covering the shelf and immediately saw the colorful hair ties and hairbands.

Headbands are not common, and such beautiful hairbands are rare too.

Many young girls and young wives were attracted by the scene as they walked by.

There were also aunts and grandmothers who bought things for their granddaughters or daughters-in-law. The first group to open was Xia Ruokui and her group.

Xia Ruokui, Xia Zhiyao and Xia Zhaoning soon became busy.

Xia Ruokui is responsible for helping those who want to try it and teaching them how to tie the headband.

Later, Xia Ruokui had an idea and simply tied the headband on her own head, and also tied it on Xia Zhiyao and Xia Zhaoning.

Xia Changle, Xia Qingyu, Xia Zhihuan, Xia Sui and several little girls next to them also had their hairbands tied on them by her.

Xia Ruokui chose a particularly beautiful light-colored headband and insisted on putting it on Song Qingyun as well.

Song Qingyun is good-looking to begin with, and she looks even better with a headband and a slight smile on her face.

The fair is bustling with activity.

There were many people buying food. Song Qingyun's big spicy slices were placed there. As people walked by, they could see the bright oily sheen on them and a faint fragrance wafting out. Many children couldn't take their eyes off them.

At times like this, everyone would buy snacks for their children, and some would come to ask for prices.

Song Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "It's five cents a piece, or you can exchange it for mountain products."

"Then exchange them for mountain products." An old lady carrying mushrooms on her back was the first to open a shop for Song Qingyun.

Song Qingyun was very happy and gave her two pieces for trial.

The old woman was also very happy and continued to stroll with her little grandson happily.

The little grandson held the big spicy chip in his hand and ate it until his mouth was full of oil, and he laughed as he ate.

"It's delicious. I want to eat more."

Spicy chips are really addictive.

Soon the business of spicy chips also took off. Eating snacks is contagious. If one person eats it, others will want to follow suit.

Song Qingyun only made one pot and quickly sold more than half of it.

Xia Zhihuan and Xia Sui were guarding the medicine stall. They were both very pretty and attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Little girl, did you make this medicine bag yourself?"

"My parents arranged it for us, and we two are responsible for looking after the stall." Xia Suihe said with a smile.

Xia Zhihuan gently pulled Xia Suihe's hand, meaning, this was obviously concocted by the two of us and matched by us, so why do you say that it was matched by our own master?

After hearing what Xia Suihe said, the buyers were obviously relieved.

He squatted down and rummaged through the medicine bag, and finally chose one for treating colds and flu. This kind of thing should be kept at home, and you never know when it might come in handy during the winter.

"How much does this cost?"

"Fifty cents, or you can exchange it for something." Xia Suihe imitated Song Qingyun's actions and began to discuss her first business deal.

"I'll spend money." He had nothing to exchange, so he took out fifty cents and handed it to Xia Suihe.

Xia Suihe happily collected the money and said, "Thank you, uncle."

The man was already in a good mood when he was shopping, and when Xia Suihe called him uncle so sweetly, he became even happier. He praised the little girl a few words before turning around and leaving.

Of the four stalls in the house, Xia Changle and his team’s was the last to open.

The couplets were placed on the table and many people walked by to look at them.

Everyone knew it was a couplet, so no one was in a hurry.

After walking around for a long time, I came back and thought about putting up couplets at home for the New Year. Then someone came to ask me about it, but he couldn't read very well.

Gu Xu's eyes turned, and he stood there and began to recite the couplet and the four-character horizontal scroll.

"Spring is here to stay, and life is here to stay."

"A peaceful home with both wealth and prosperity, a home with both happiness and longevity."

"The four-character horizontal scroll symbolizes a bountiful harvest, thriving livestock, and safe travel. Suitable for granaries, pig pens, and tractors."

Gu Xu's voice is loud and penetrating.

Xia Changle immediately echoed, "Don't miss it if you pass by. The New Year is all about celebration. Take a look at our couplets and horizontal scrolls. If you need them, you can even write them on the spot."

The two little guys greeted each other.

Xia Qingyu and Lu Huailin were watching the stall, and soon someone came to buy couplets.

Xia Qingyu was responsible for collecting money and taking couplets, while Lu Huailin helped on the side. If something needed to be written on the spot, Lu Huailin would pick up a pen and write it.

"I can't believe such a young child can write so beautifully!"

Many people gathered around to watch Lu Huailin write the couplet.

Lu Huailin is calm, with a pair of firm eyes, and he holds the pen with force, and his words are full of style.

All four businesses are very busy.

Xia Weian stood behind Xia Zhihuan and Xia Suihe, staring at his two little girls with a pointed look.

His little girl is very pretty, and this place is crowded with people. If she is accidentally taken away by someone, he will have no place to cry.
