Chapter fifty-one stand up

"This is an opera tape, this is a song tape, which are the most popular songs nowadays. If you are tired of listening, I will bring them to you when I come back from school next time. If you are upset in the future, listen to the song..."

The mother and daughter were having fun all day long. In the kitchen, she inserted a tape and turned on the recorder on the spot.

As the graceful music sounded, it seemed that the New Year atmosphere was even more intense.

The Spring Festival in rural northern China is particularly lively. This kind of liveliness is not only during the Chinese New Year, but has been around since the beginning of the New Year.

After the twelfth lunar month, Mingyue Town kept gathering, and people from all over the countryside started to buy New Year’s goods every day.

And there are also several times more people doing business in towns and streets than usual!

Just selling Spring Festival couplets and window flowers can be placed in the street.

The same is true for Xu Nuo’s fertilizer store. Every year, it will set up a bed board at the door of the store and start to make a temporary guest appearance in changing careers to sell firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets, and some bulk peanuts, melon seeds, white sugar, black sugar, etc.

Because of the long time, rural people are not as anxious as urban people when buying New Year’s goods, and do not need to buy everything in one day.

Instead, it was like I was deliberately going to the streets to crowd out lively, and I went there every day and bought some things a day to come back.

Buy ginger today, buy garlic tomorrow, and buy some rice the day after tomorrow...

I am leisurely and don’t ride a car. I just keep my hands behind my back, humming Qin Opera, holding a cigarette in my mouth. I occasionally see people from the village, laughing or nodding, even if I have said hello.

After I went back, I sat at the door of my house smoking a cigarette and basking in the sun. Occasionally, I would ask a joke if I saw others coming back from the market.

"Yeah, I've got rich this year. I bought a pig and came back for the New Year?"

...

Of course, the above standards are the pace of life for rich or ordinary people. In the case of Tong Yao's family, they basically save all this kind of thing.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, their family only buys some meat before the New Year, and can make a few meals of dumplings.

As for vegetables, my mother would prepare them in advance very early, including green onions and white radish, so she doesn't have to spend money to buy them.

Early the next morning, a cry of promise sounded at the door of the house.

"Tong Yao! Tong Yao! Have you got up? I'm on the market! Will you go..."

In the past, every year, the Fertilizer Miss would go to the market to help her parents watch the stalls. Of course, it would not be in vain, otherwise she would not go with Xu Nuo's personality.

Tong Yao, one is to help others, and the other is to play with Xu Nuo, so she will follow her almost every day.

This year is no exception, so the next day after she came back, she ran over to call Tong Yao early in the morning.

"Come in first, I'll wash my face."

Tong Yao's voice came from the kitchen, Xu Nuo said oh and walked into the kitchen.

After Tong Yao packed up, the two rode a bicycle and started from Yangshu Village to Mingyue Town.

When going uphill, Tong Yao stomped hard and listened to Xu Nuo talking behind him.

"I heard that the county drove an electric bike to install a battery for the bicycle. People didn't have to force it. They just pinched the handle and ran away by themselves. Unfortunately, my dad didn't agree to buy it..."

"I said, sister, this is going uphill. Do you have to have the skill of talking nonsense and can you go down and push me..."

Tong Yao was so tired that she whispered. Xu Nuo heard that she was going to go down to push the cart, so she quickly shut up and sat in the back seat as if there was no signal, without saying a word.

"I said don't pretend to be dead, huh... This is uphill, sister, or you can go down and walk for a while first."

"Hey, pretending to be asleep again, aren't you?"

...

Tong Yao shouted a few times, Xu Nuo didn't move at all, but she had no choice but to use her strength to continue kicking.

Suddenly, just as she had climbed the hill for more than halfway, she felt that the bicycle could not pedal...

Xu Nuo held Tong Yao's waist and rode a horse in the back seat of the bicycle. He was proud, but found that it was inside the wheel of the swaying right-footed truck. He was about to call Tong Yao to stop, but he saw Tong Yao standing up from the seat.

That's right, Tong Yao found that she couldn't pedal anymore, so she stood up and pedaled...

Just a moment of scratch, Xu Nuo's tears fell from pain.

When he arrived at Mingyue Town, Xu Nuo limped and pouted, Tong Yao was still explaining while pushing the bicycle.

"I'm not blamed this time. I thought I couldn't pedal uphill, so I stood up and pedaled. Besides, I've asked you to come down and push the cart for a long time, you've been pretending to be dead..."

...

Today is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. The market in Mingyue Town has been open for nine days. The streets are bustling. Even the roads in the middle of the street are now densely packed with temporary New Year’s goods stalls.

Vegetables, fruits, meats, firecrackers, and Spring Festival couplets are endless.

Xu Nuo’s stall is at the entrance of his fertilizer store, just in the center of the street.

When the two of them went, her parents were busy and overwhelmed.

Their business has expanded this year. In addition to fireworks and fireworks and spring couplets and window flowers, they have added some peanuts, candy, rice, flour, grain and oil this year.

There are too many people visiting the market, and I hope Xu Zhenguo and his wife can't be busy at all.

So as soon as Xu Nuo and Tong Yao left, they were immediately arranged to the fireworks and fireworks area.

As for the price, it's very simple, just go higher at this time.

The two of them took a bench from the store and sat in front of the stall. Xu Nuo grabbed a large handful of melon seeds and peanuts from the side. So they kowtowed and sold them while they were chatting.

"I said, can you pay the 80,000 yuan this month?"

"I don't know..."

"If it is sent, what are you going to spend it?"

"I'm going to pay back the debts owed by my family first."

"Yes, yes, pay back the debt, what about the rest?"

"The rest is still there..."

Promise:...

"Boss, how can you sell this kind of person who can go to heaven?"

"Twenty pieces of money."

After speaking, another business was completed. A young man working outside the country took his children and selected five monkeys from the stalls, which cost 100 yuan.

Xu Nuo packed a bag for someone else's house, then took the money and put it directly into his own pocket.

Tong Yao looked at the money box in front of her, turned her head and looked at Xu Nuo's parents who were busy with their backs, and whispered.

"You are so awesome. You forgot the beating you got last year? Do you still dare to get money from the stall?"

When the two sold cannons last year, Xu Nuo also put the money from selling cannons into his pocket. After buying it, Xu Zhenguo found that selling cannons not only did not make any money, but also lost money, but the cannons were sold out.

He was puzzled, but at the threat of the belt, Xu Nuo confessed his crime and was beaten.

But this year seems different, Xu Nuo whispered, covering his mouth proudly.

"Last year, my dad was upset because of my application for Baiyun Vocational and Technical College. I was beaten even if I didn't steal money. And last year, I stole too much money because I stole it, and this year it was different. See if I saw it..."
