Chapter 20 Market Day



He Luyi looked at everyone, whether they were adults or children, their simple happiness was really pure.

The reason why Donghua and He Feng did not go to work in the fields today was actually because they were going to the market today. It was rare for them to go to the market after working in the fields every day, so old He waved his hand and asked the whole family to go together. However, He Luyi, the gay girl, was very interested in touring the village, so Donghua and his wife stayed to accompany the child.

Old He and Old Lady He took a few older children to the market. The market here was quite interesting. Different places had different rules for market days. He Luyi didn't know how it was in other places, but at least in their village, market days were at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock on the Gregorian calendar.

On this day, many farmers in the countryside carried large and small bags, and carried things to the market to set up stalls. But they had to get up early, at three or four o'clock before dawn. If there was a tricycle, they would ride it. If not, they would rely on their legs and walk non-stop until they finally arrived at the destination.

He Ming and his friends were very excited and extremely happy. It was a rare opportunity to go into the city.

After all, there is no need to go to the county town to go to school. There is a township primary school at the entrance of the county town, and He Ming and his friends go to school there.

I go between two places every day, and even though it is close to the county town, I don’t have the chance to go there.

So I was so happy to be able to go out on the street.

Of course, the older kids had been out before, but it had been a long time since they had been there, so they were excited and looking forward to it.

Old Mrs. He carried a bag of chicken and duck eggs, sold them for money, and bought some snacks for her grandson.

Now, Mrs. He’s preference for boys over girls is not so serious. Under the influence of her surroundings, the idea that raising a girl well can also have a bright future has emerged in her mind.

With the eldest granddaughter, things were much better, at least on the surface, he treated everyone equally.

For He Hongmei, this is good enough. She doesn't ask for too much. Now the family has good food every day. There are pheasants pretending to be cheating from time to time. The family also has a lot of chickens and ducks. Old Mrs. He and Old Man He are not stingy either. They let the children eat what they should eat and use what they should use. The mental state of the family is very good.

The He family is not actually in a very difficult situation in the poor village. After all, Old He is an old craftsman. If any family is good at hosting a banquet at the dam, the He family will definitely have a place.

They say they seldom eat meat, but in fact they are just used to being frugal. They are reluctant to eat or use meat, and they often do heavy physical work, so they seem to be in a difficult situation.

In fact, it is not that bleak. Of course, this is also the result of He Luyi's observations when she often follows her father and grandfather for walks.

There is a kind of poverty that makes people understand nothing and feel very poor. In fact, it is not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

Of course, with He Luyi's support, the He family is now much more generous. Old He is in better spirits and has a much better temper (thanks to He Luyi). Everything is moving in a good direction.

So far, the family members are in much better spirits. As for the body, it is an internal adjustment, and the effect is slow. However, He Luyi thinks it is normal. After all, no spiritual spring water has been used. When the vegetables in the space are almost adjusted and the body's health level is improved, it can be used as daily drinking water. The quick effect will not attract attention. After all, there have been great changes. If there are any more changes, they will be changes from the inside out. You can't see through the internal organs!

At present, the He family has not changed much. The neighbors around them don’t feel anything special when they see it. They just feel that there are some changes, but they can’t put their finger on it.

Occasionally someone would ask, "Maybe it's because the food is good and you sleep well, that's why it's like this? Haha...haha..." Old He would just laugh it off and try to fool people.

As for the other members of the He family, they always act like quails and keep silent. Silence is Cambridge tonight, which means, there is no way to explain it, and we don’t know either.

Fortunately, most households now have food and drink. Some families that are doing well even eat and drink lavishly, and have even built a small villa.

In a village, there are both poor and rich people, but the rich account for a smaller proportion.

Or live a low-key life and make a fortune quietly.

Who knows?

Walking on the street, you will see people setting up stalls on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of things: buns, steamed buns, vegetables, oil, biscuits, candies, pork... there are even fortune tellers.

Everyone was shouting loudly, promoting their own products, "Come, come, take a look, take a look, these big pears that moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, they are delicious, come and see, come and buy~" A middle-aged man riding a tricycle was shouting hard.

The market was bustling with activity. Old Mrs. He and her family went to the stall where they usually sold grain, rice, flour, and eggs. They found a corner and started setting up their stall.

There were many people coming and going. Some asked about the price, some bought, some thought it was too expensive and didn't buy, and some were just curious, so they asked and left...

After waiting for a long time, someone finally came to ask the price, "How much are the eggs?" An older sister who was dressed neatly and looked very capable came forward.

"One yuan and thirty cents per pound, how much do you want?" Old Mrs. He answered quickly, hoping that the other party would buy it so that she could finish work early and go to the market.

"1.3 yuan, that's a bit expensive, is it too little?"

"Sister, this price is already quite favorable. Look, these are authentic farm-raised eggs with high nutritional value. Buy them back and feed them to your children at home, so they can grow tall and strong." Old Mrs. He was very eloquent at this time, and He Ming and others on the side were stunned. Is this still the grandmother who is usually taciturn and concentrates on farming?
