Chapter 102: What bad luck
It can be said that the excitement of the fair is even greater than that of the town market.
What's more, Dayangshu Village and Sunjiazhuang are the two largest villages nearby. These two villages are very willing to spend money on the annual fair. Every year, they would invite opera troupes to perform for a full day, which means there are even more people.
Things that you may not be able to buy at the market can be bought during the fair.
Many people who want to find something they don't use often go to look for it at this time.
However, Jiang Youcheng and Liu asked Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia to buy things, but there was nothing specific to buy. They just asked them to go out and take a look, and if they saw anything rare, they could buy it.
After all, Jiang Mixia had been busy some time ago and had been staying in the house all day these days. Song Jingyun was also busy in the bamboo weaving workshop all day. Jiang Youcheng and Liu were afraid that the two children would be tired and bored, so they found ways to get them to go out for a walk.
Jiang Mixia naturally understood her parents' intentions, and she had indeed been thinking about the fan for the past two days, so she was a little confused. So she took the bamboo hat from Song Jingyun's hand and said, "Okay, let's go and see if there are any pan-fried dumplings for sale."
The pan-fried buns sold at the fair are made in a big pot with lots of oil. The crispy skin on the bottom of the buns tastes delicious.
When Song Jingyun heard this, he nodded hurriedly.
In the summer, when the sun is strong, I wear a hat to protect myself from the sun and fan myself with a fan from the workshop. I only walk along the river and under the shade of trees, so I don’t feel too hot on the road.
Before reaching Dayangshu Village and Sunjiazhuang, one can hear the lively sounds of gongs, drums, suona and opera singing from afar, and see all kinds of small stalls constantly soliciting customers.
At the same time, I also saw two acquaintances.
Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi.
Two men were grabbing two children who were younger than them and almost half a head taller than them, and were scolding them behind a big poplar tree.
Sun Er looked at them with his dog eyes and was about to raise his hand to greet the two children.
The child, trembling, took out the copper coins from his bosom and wanted to give them to Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi.
Judging from the situation, it is most likely that the bully is trying to extort money from the young.
Jiang Mixia suddenly remembered the first time she took her son-in-law to the river to catch fish, when Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi bullied Jiang Chunyu and pushed him into the river. She felt a surge of anger in her heart.
It seems that the naughty kid's behavior has not been restrained at all, but has become more and more arrogant? Jiang Mixia took a few quick steps, came to the front, and coughed lightly.
Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi looked up when they heard the noise. When they saw Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun, they were stunned at first, then looked at each other, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Sister Xia, what brings you here?" Sun Zhuzi immediately smiled in a very servile manner.
"Yes, Sister Xia, why are you here..." Sun Ergou was obviously very guilty. He didn't even dare to raise his eyelids, let alone look at Jiang Mixia.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Mixia raised her eyebrows and asked even though she knew the answer.
"Well, we..." Sun Zhuzi stuttered, "No, nothing, nothing."
"Yeah, nothing." Sun Ergou chuckled, then thought of a quick solution, and quickly reached out to pat the two children who had been frightened and now confused, "I said I don't want your money, isn't it my duty to lend you a hand? What are you talking about money? Isn't it too far away to talk about money?"
Sun Zhuzi reacted very quickly and immediately understood Sun Ergou's intention. He said hurriedly, "Okay, you guys should go back quickly too. Don't let your family members worry."
The two children looked at each other.
They had no idea why these two bullies were like mice seeing a cat when they saw their sister, but now that they were asked to leave, they had to hurry.
After the two children reacted, they ran away quickly like rabbits.
"Looking at you guys, did you do something good?" Jiang Mixia asked, trying hard to suppress her smile.
"It can't be called a good thing. It's just that these two people were bullied, and we helped them and chased the bad guys away." Sun Ergou's smile became even more intense, and he said in a flattering manner, "Don't worry, Sister Xia, Zhuzi and I have always remembered what Sister Xia said and have never dared to bully anyone again."
"Right, Pillar."
Sun Zhuzi, who was kicked by Sun Ergou, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, that's right."
Jiang Mixia saw this and didn't expose the two people. She just said "Oh" and said, "Okay, I'll believe you for now."
"You guys keep busy, I'll go to the meeting and take a look."
Jiang Mixia called Song Jingyun, and the two of them walked into the meeting together.
Seeing the two men walking away, Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi breathed a sigh of relief. They found a cool place under the shade of a tree and sat down. Sun Zhuzi saw some wild mulberries nearby, picked a few red ones, and shared some with Sun Ergou.
While muttering, "How unlucky it is to meet this couple."
"It's bad luck." Sun Ergou's face wrinkled like a bitter gourd as he ate the sour mulberries.
"What are you going to do with your lunch?" Sun Zhuzi was a little worried. "The money you got is gone. If you go back, I guess Aunt Su won't give you any food."
"How about...you come to my house for dinner?" Sun Zhuzi scratched his head.
"Come on, I used to eat and drink for free at your house, and your parents are so annoyed when they see me. If I go to your house to eat for free again, your parents will probably scold you again." Sun Ergou said, "It's okay, I'll go to the market later and look at those buns and wontons to see if I can get some money."
"Then I'll go with you." Sun Zhuzi patted his chest, "I have a cousin who sells food at the fair, I'll take you there then."
"become."
Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi stayed here for a while and then went to the meeting.
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun arrived at the meeting and walked around and looked around.
There are stalls selling food and gadgets everywhere, and the goods are dazzling and everything you can imagine is available.
Even though Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun often go to the town and the county, they feel that their eyes are not enough at this moment.
"Madam, here."
Song Jingyun stopped in front of a stall selling crystal cakes.
"Ma'am, buy this."
Song Jingyun pointed to the sugar-water cold shrimps on the stall.
"Ma'am, do you want to try this?"
Song Jingyun stuffed a mugwort cake into Jiang Mixia's hand.
"My wife..."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
"Just eat it." Jiang Mixia waved her hands repeatedly.
She really couldn't eat any more.
The hot weather was one reason, and the other reason was that when she got up in the morning, Liu made pancakes with shredded green pumpkin. Jiang Mixia found them refreshing and ate two in one go. She was not really hungry at the moment.
"Okay then." This time, Song Jingyun only took one earth cake and ate it slowly.
