I didn’t expect there is still a market now. I want to go and see it.
"Okay, then we'll set off before dawn tomorrow and gather directly at the village entrance." The village chief's wife said with a smile.
"By the way, do you want to take the village ox cart or drive your own donkey?" asked the village chief's wife.
"Aunt, I'm not very experienced in driving a donkey cart on our mountain roads. I'm a little scared." Song Jinxiu said embarrassedly.
If possible, I would definitely like to take the bus myself, so that it would be much more convenient to buy something when the time comes.
"That's fine. I'll find a guy to help you drive the bus tomorrow. It's a deal then. Go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow."
The village chief's wife left after saying this.
"La la la! La la la!" Song Jinxiu hummed a discordant tune.
Liu Ankang looked at Song Jinxiu with his big eyes saying, I want to go too.
But Song Jinxiu ignored him.
"Oh, it's really boring to go alone. I don't know anyone else. It would be great if I could go with someone I know!" Song Jinxiu sighed while sitting on the stool.
No one was looking at him, so his eyes couldn't reveal anything.
Liu Ankang was a little anxious. He had never been to the market in his life.
"I wonder if there's anything delicious to eat at the market? I wonder if there's any candied haws.
The roast duck we had last time was delicious, too. It would have been even better if there was fruit. I haven’t had sweet fruit in a while.” Song Jinxiu continued.
Liu Ankang was very moved by what he heard, but he remained silent. He just looked at his comic book absentmindedly.
Song Jinxiu took a quick glance at him. He didn't say anything, so difficult to deal with.
"My father always taught me that if there is something I like, I must try to fight for it. I may not succeed even if I fight for it, but I will definitely fail if I don't fight for it." Liu Ankang remained unmoved.
This little guy is really patient!
"I'm going to take a shower. I need to go to bed early tonight so I can get up tomorrow. I wonder if there are any comic books for sale in the next town.
I walked around town for so long last time and didn't see him." Song Jinxiu got up and prepared to take a shower.
It's strange, I don't know if it's because this place is so remote or what, but there are no comic books here. There are very few books in the bookstore.
But when I think about it, it doesn’t seem strange, as most of my books were bought in Shanghai.
Someone pulled her clothes, and Song Jinxiu looked at Liu Ankang. He blinked his big eyes at her.
"What's the matter? You're still acting like a spoiled child at this age? Do you want your sister to help you take a bath tonight?" Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Okay, since you've been so well behaved recently, I'll help you wash with soap tonight."
Liu Ankang quickly let go of his hand. Who asked you to help me take a bath? Don’t you know that it’s not appropriate for men and women to touch each other?
"Hahaha, you're still shy. How old are you, just a little kid? Sister will go and get the water." Song Jinxiu said and went to get water.
There was no bathtub, so they had to make do with a wooden bucket. Song Jinxiu had to use two buckets of water every day to get a good bath.
In the end, Song Jinxiu was pushed out. Little Radish Head washed himself inside, which made Song Jinxiu laugh.
The two took a shower and Song Jinxiu packed the things she would take tomorrow.
I don't think there's much I need to bring. Just a bottle of water and enough money.
If you want to eat, you can buy some in town. I have to get up early tomorrow to steam the buns for breakfast.
Oh, I have to get up so early. It's not easy to go out.
Liu Ankang sat quietly opposite Song Jinxiu, watching her muttering.
I had the book in my hand but didn't have the heart to read it.
"Oh, An An. I'll steam some more buns tomorrow and put them in the pot. You can eat them when you're hungry.
I can also cut a plate of braised meat and keep it warm so you can have it at noon.
I'll make you a big meal when I come back in the evening." Song Jinxiu instructed.
"Alright. Go back to your room and get some sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
I'll leave the book with you for you to read. Don't read it at night. The light is not good at night and it's bad for your eyes."
Song Jinxiu drove everyone out and said she had to go to bed early, otherwise she would not have enough energy tomorrow.
"Go." The hoarse voice came again.
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "You little bastard, I can't cure you."
"Are you going to the market?" Song Jinxiu asked.
Liu Ankang nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then you go back to bed early and get up early tomorrow. If you can't get up, I won't take you there." Song Jinxiu stopped teasing him and told him to go back to bed.
Liu Ankang happily went out with the book in his arms.
I'm traveling with a kid, so I figured I didn't need to bring anything extra. Just a water bottle. Done.
The next day, while it was still dark, there was a knock on Song Jinxiu's door.
Song Jinxiu saw that it was just after four o'clock. It was too early for this little brat to get up.
I rubbed my face to make myself feel more energetic.
Feeling a little cold when she woke up early in the morning, Song Jinxiu put on a coat.
When I went out, I saw that it was Liu Ankang knocking on the door. The little guy was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
Song Jinxiu then remembered that he seemed to have only two sets of spare clothes.
I quickly pulled him into the room and put my coat on him.
Then knead the dough first, and the steamed buns have to rise again, which is a bit time-consuming.
The two of them washed up and packed their things. As soon as the little guy got up, he knocked on the door. He hadn't washed up yet.
After you are done, you can steam the buns.
From time to time, the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the village. It must be that the old ladies in the village had also gotten up.
There was a slight chill in the air, and the hot weather during the day made Song Jinxiu forget that it was already autumn.
Looking at the thin little person next to me, it seems that I need to speed up the process of making clothes!
They each made a cup of milk and drank it. After drinking the warm milk, their whole bodies felt warm.
Song Jinxiu prepared three thermoses at home so that the two of them would have water to drink at any time.
In winter, washing in the morning is much more convenient.
The steamed buns were cooked and there was a knock on the door. It was one of the people who came to help that day.
He came over and set up the cart. Today he was the one helping to drive the donkey cart!
Song Jinxiu poured him a cup of warm water. Then she wrapped two steamed buns in oil paper, one for him and one for the two of them.
It is wrong to let the other person go hungry when he comes to help you drive the car.
"I've eaten." The other party said embarrassedly.
When Aunt Cuihua asked him yesterday, he volunteered to help drive the cart.
Aunt Cuihua, the village chief's wife.
Anyway, I am alone and there is not much farm work to do. I am just sitting around in the village doing nothing.
"Take it. Eat more so you have the energy to catch the bus." Song Jinxiu stuffed the steamed bun into the other person's hand.
The three of them walked out the door together.
Song Jinxiu closed the door gently. Since Dabai wanted to go in and out, there was no lock. There was nothing valuable in the house anyway.
It was the first time that Song Jinxiu saw so many people in the village, although they were just some aunts.
There were more than twenty of them, and the village prepared two ox carts.
Song Jinxiu followed the donkey cart to the side and waited, perhaps because some people hadn't arrived yet. She gave Liu Ankang a steamed bun and asked him to eat it first.
She planned to eat in the car later. Facing those vague gazes, Song Jinxiu felt a little embarrassed to eat.
