After walking past a haystack, the little kids turned into teenagers.
Several people stood there with dried sweet potatoes in their mouths, shooting sparrows with homemade slingshots.
"What are you having for dinner at home?" a teenager asked.
"What else can we eat? Fried tomatoes with tomatoes! But we just had rice yesterday, so we probably won't have any today." Another boy curled his lips. Rice was still the best.
"It's okay. You can ask your mother to make you some cucumber stew tomorrow. See if that helps you become slimmer."
"The fruits and vegetables are growing well this year, and we eat them every day."
"You said you should at least put some eggs in the tomatoes. How can stir-fried tomatoes be delicious? They're sour and sour, and it's better to eat them raw."
"I think sliced tomatoes sprinkled with sugar are delicious!"
"We're having pork stewed with Chinese cabbage tonight. Do you want to come over to my house and play?"
"Really? Great! Your mother's pork and cabbage stew is the best. I'll bring some scrambled eggs to your house tonight for dinner."
"I haven't eaten my boiled eggs yet, so I'll bring them to you."
A few people walked together, and when they passed a wall, a handsome young man came out.
"Have you learned the knowledge points the teacher taught today?" someone asked.
"I can't remember clearly, Liangzi, tell us again."
"An inline engine, also known as an L-type engine, has all its cylinders arranged side by side at the same angle in a single plane. Its advantage is that the cylinder block and crankshaft structure are very simple..."
"What about the chip?"
"Sand is the most basic material for chip manufacturing, and deoxidized sand is the foundation of the semiconductor manufacturing industry..."
"What about the plane?"
"Design takeoff weight, powerplant static thrust at sea level, wing area, combination parameters, thrust-to-weight ratio. Wing loading..."
Several people walked and talked as they slowly walked down to the stage.
Then a group of children came up from both sides and started dancing. They were all dressed in red and green, looking very festive.
The music also became cheerful.
After the song, the umbrella dancers came on stage again.
There was a sudden uproar on the stage.
The small vendors, consisting of children, were hawking their wares, and the adults were strolling and walking holding the children's hands!
"Sunflower seeds, sunflower seeds, crunchy sunflower seeds."
"Fried chestnuts, fried chestnuts, fragrant and sweet fried chestnuts. Sweeter than sugar."
"Baked sweet potatoes! Baked sweet potatoes! Big, sweet baked sweet potatoes!"
“Fragrant and crispy potato rings!”
“…”
There were all kinds of delicious food on display, and the children had baskets in front of them, filled with delicious food.
Many older children took the younger children around and bought whatever they liked.
We ate as we walked along the way.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat baked sweet potatoes."
"What's so delicious about roasted sweet potatoes? Go back and ask your mother to make you braised pork."
"I don't want to eat braised pork. I'm tired of it. I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."
"Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy. Do you want anything else?"
"I also want to eat candied haws. I ate too much at noon and need to digest it!" said the child, eating sweet potato in one hand and pointing at candied haws with the other.
"Too much sugar gives you cavities! You ate too much sugar today!"
"Then take me to buy new clothes. I got a perfect score on the test last time, and they said they would reward me with new clothes. And take me out to play."
"Okay, okay, I'll go buy new clothes later."
"And new shoes."
“Buy, buy, buy.”
"I don't want to eat white rice at night. I want to eat some noodles." The little girl's soft voice sounded.
"Okay, let's have noodles tonight. I'll buy some meat later to make the topping."
"I want some greens."
"You're so thin, you need to eat more meat to grow taller."
“The food is delicious!”
“…”
Various conversations abound.
Then, a few young men came up, dressed as middle-aged and elderly people.
Gradually, they occupied the stage, and the small vendors and shoppers slowly retreated.
Only a few benches and a few children were left surrounding these "old people".
Some had their hair highlighted white with chalk, some had hunched backs, and everyone slowly sat down on the stools.
"Old Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, stop talking. The weather has turned colder! My son was worried that I would catch a cold yesterday.
They put two large quilts weighing more than ten kilograms on my bed, which made it so soft that my waist was sore when I woke up."
"Then go to the hospital and give them a massage. I went to the same hospital last time when I twisted my waist, and they reimbursed me for everything. It didn't cost me a penny."
"Okay, I'll go later. Life is better now. I don't have to do any work all day and just take care of my grandchildren. I feel like eating doesn't taste so good anymore!"
"What's the big deal? In a few days, we'll take our spouses and grandchildren and go on a trip. Let's see the Great Wall, the Imperial Palace, and even stay there."
"My wife practices dancing at home every day. She says she's exercising."
"There's nothing we can do. Farming is now mechanized and can be done in one go. There aren't enough young people in the family to do the remaining work, so what's left for us?"
"That's right, now just put that big thing on the ground, don't even bother plowing the land, the seeds are already planted for you."
"Last year, we harvested rice and could eat white rice the next day. It was so convenient and quick."
"That's nothing! I heard my wife say she's going to space to visit her old sisters soon! She emigrated to outer space last year, and we haven't seen each other for over a year!"
"Kids these days are so promising. They can achieve anything they think of. My grandson will go to college next year, and I want him to study hard.
