Chapter 44 Go to the county seat
Having a beautiful, lovely and considerate daughter is the proudest thing that Qin Shan has experienced in all these years of marriage.
So Qin Shan brought Qin Xiaoxiao to the entrance of the village. After meeting with several other people in the village who were going to the city for business, he deliberately pulled Qin Xiaoxiao in front of the crowd and said in a pretentious way: "My daughter doesn't walk fast when she's walking."
, you won’t have to accommodate us when you’re on your way later.”
Those people had long seen Qin Shan's virtues, and none of them bothered to pay attention to him. Instead, they greeted Qin Xiaoxiao warmly like a little fairy boy: "Xiao girl, are you hungry? Come to uncle, and uncle will give you boiled eggs.
."
"Little guy, uncle, there are delicious pancakes here. You can take a mat."
"Smiling girl, this is the melon grown by my uncle and grandpa. It's very sweet. I'll give it to you to eat."
"..."
Looking at the boiled eggs, egg pancakes and melons in front of him, Qin Xiaoxiao waved his hands repeatedly, took off the small backpack on his back, pointed at the steaming pancakes inside and said, "Grandpa Six, Uncle Three, Uncle Yao, my mother is here."
We have prepared food, please keep these for yourself, don’t go hungry!”
Grandpa Six didn't listen and put the melon directly into her small backpack: "Grandpa Six has eaten it. This is specially for you. You can eat it when you are thirsty on the way."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her father in embarrassment. Seeing him nodding, she said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Six."
Grandpa Six smiled and narrowed his eyes, then touched her head with his rough palm: "Be good~"
The other two people also wanted to put boiled eggs and pancakes into small backpacks, but Qin Xiaoxiao held her hands and refused. This was because boiled eggs and pancakes were the lunch of these two elders, and she would not be full if they took them.
Already.
Several elders praised Qin Xiaoxiao again, saying that the old Qin family knew how to teach children and taught Qin Xiaoxiao so well.
Qin Shan felt more and more proud that his daughter was so popular, and he was even happier than when others praised him.
When the last person who was about to enter the city arrived, a group of five people plus Qin Xiaoxiao and a child walked out of the village under the bright morning glow.
None of the five adults was empty-handed. The basket of eggs Qin Shan carried had to be sold at the market, what Grandpa Six wanted to sell was a basket of melons, and the others either had baskets of vegetables or chickens that didn't lay eggs at home... In short
It's best if it can be sold out, but if it can't be sold out, you have to carry it all the way back.
That's why everyone gets up early, just to get to the market early, get a good seat, and try to sell all the things they bring.
Qin Xiaoxiao had short calves, so even if she walked slowly, it was still difficult to keep up with the adults, and she gradually fell behind her father. The others deliberately made do with the father and daughter, but they didn't fall too far behind.
If anything happens, they can come back in time to help.
"Smile, are you tired? Let dad hold you, okay?" Seeing how hard it was for his daughter to walk, Qin Shan was afraid of tiring her.
If he hadn't been carrying a basket full of eggs and it was inconvenient to carry Qin Xiaoxiao on his back, how could he be willing to let her walk on such a difficult mountain road.
"Dad, I'm not tired." Qin Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and persisted hard, not wanting to increase the burden on her father.
She just insisted on driving for four or five miles, but she really had no strength left, and her tender feet were hurting from the wear and tear.
Qin Shan was so distressed that he handed Qin Xiaoxiao's small backpack to others to hold, then hugged her and continued on the way.
Qin Xiaoxiao felt extremely guilty and regretted that she should not have followed. It was just that the hardship of the journey was something she could not imagine at the age of three. She could not blame her for following her willfully.
No need to rely on Qin Xiaoxiao's short legs, the group quickened their pace and arrived at the tall city gate of Le'an County in about two hours.
"So tall, so big!"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked in amazement at the city gate, which was as tall and spacious as a wall at home, and opened her mouth involuntarily. Especially because there were so many people coming in and out of the city gate. Listening to the noisy sounds in the city, she could imagine what was inside.
How bustling and lively.
When people passing by heard Qin Xiaoxiao's exclamation, they first took a look and found that it was a little baby, and a beautiful little baby at that. They all showed kind smiles.
Qin Xiaoxiao noticed the stranger's gaze and realized how strange she was. She couldn't help but blush with embarrassment and asked her father to go underground.
The roads in the city were naturally flat and spacious. Qin Shan made sure that his daughter's feet were fine for walking, so he put her down, held her little hand and walked to the market with the others.
Le'an County is one of the eight counties affiliated with the capital. It is only a five-hour drive from the capital. There are countless business travelers traveling from the county to the capital every day. Therefore, compared to those remote counties, Le'an County is more prosperous and lively.
many.
The little Qin Xiaoxiao was squeezed in the crowd of people rubbing shoulders, and what she saw most with her eyes was her thighs. Occasionally, through the gaps in the crowd, she saw various stalls on both sides of the street.
When he saw clearly what it was, he was already pulled away by Qin Shan.
Despite this, Qin Xiaoxiao, who came to the county town for the first time to see the world, still felt that it was hard for her eyes to see, and the freshness never dissipated.
Qin Shan had been paying attention to his daughter's reaction. When he saw her looking around happily, he said, "When dad sells the eggs and meets your third uncle, I will take you for a walk."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked away and said with a smile: "Our eggs are big and delicious, they will be sold out quickly!"
Qin Shan felt happy and made sure that no one else paid attention to the conversation between their father and daughter. He whispered: "When dad sells eggs later, just watch from the side and don't say anything."
Qin Xiaoxiao knew nothing about her own abilities and was used to being told this by her family. Although she didn't understand, she still nodded obediently.
Qin Shan held his daughter's hand tightly to prevent her from being scattered by the crowd. Finally, he arrived at the market where he could set up stalls freely, but the better location was already blocked by people and occupied.
The group of people had no choice but to find a remote place, put the things they brought in baskets on the ground, and wait for the buyer to visit.
This market mainly sells fruits, vegetables, livestock and poultry. The various smells are mixed together, which makes Qin Xiaoxiao, who is here for the first time, a little dizzy.
She quickly took out the melon given by her sixth grandfather from her small backpack and smelled the strong scent of the melon, finally feeling better.
But at this moment, she accidentally discovered a fluffy paw in the corner. She was most familiar with that paw. She was so frightened that her hands shook and she almost dropped the melon to the ground.
Qin Xiaoxiao suppressed her fear to prevent herself from screaming out of control. She just kept leaning against her father, wishing she could shrink into his arms.
