112 The Whole Family Goes to the Market

Seeing her sister's happy appearance, Gu Xiaowan just thought that children like things that are bright red and green, and the colors are so bright, so naturally they like it tightly.

After lunch, Gu Xiaowan was planning to take her younger siblings to rest, but she did not expect that Shitou came with an ox cart.

"My mother said that tomorrow will be thirty years old. Let me go to the town to buy firecrackers. By the way, let me ask you, what do you need to buy?"

firecracker? It turns out that there are already firecrackers in this era. Gu Xiaowan muttered in her heart. It seems that the custom of setting off firecrackers to greet the God of Wealth on the night of the 30th year of the new year, even dynasties who don't know it, will never tire of it.

I really didn't expect time to go by so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, New Year's 30 will arrive.

On the 30th day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers in the village is one after another. There are big firecrackers and small firecrackers. In some rich people, in addition to firecrackers, there are also fireworks.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone is auspicious. Even if the family is poor, they will buy a firecracker to welcome the New Year.

Gu Xiaowan thought about it for a while, and also went to town with Shitou: "Brother Shitou, wait for me, I'll pack up and go right away!"

Seeing Gu Xiaowan's enthusiastic expression, Shi Shi was very happy, and it seemed that Mother was right.

It turned out that at the beginning, Aunt Zhang asked Shitou to go to the town to buy couples and firecrackers, and she didn't say that she would go with the ox cart. Later, after thinking about it for herself, she drove Shitou back and asked Shitou to drive the ox carriage. Girl Wan went to her house. She was afraid that she didn't buy a pair at home, so she took her to town all the way.

It's been a long time since I saw girl Wan so happy. Stone thought to himself. Here, Gu Xiaowan quickly thought about it a lot.

How can there be a New Year's taste if you don't set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve? There are also couplets and the like, is it like the New Year when it is prosperous!

In the past, I didn’t even have money to eat, so naturally I didn’t have any extra money to buy firecrackers, couplets, etc. But now that I have some money on hand, I naturally want to make this year prosperous, which means that the next year will be prosperous. What about fire.

Moreover, this Gu Ning'an will write several words after meeting. It is not a solution to scribble on the ground all day. It is better to buy some paper and pens in the town and let Gu Ningan write on the paper.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaowan returned to the house and said excitedly, "I'm going to the town today, are you going?"

Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping were writing on the ground at the moment, and when they heard their sister said they were going to the town together, they jumped up with joy: "Sister, go, go, go!"

Gu Xiaowan also happily threw herself on Gu Xiaowan's leg, as if she was afraid that Gu Xiaowan would not take herself, she hugged Gu Xiaowan's thigh tightly, and hurriedly said, "Sister, go, go, go!"

Seeing the excited looks of the three younger siblings, Gu Xiaowan was also very excited: "Let's go now, Brother Shitou drove the ox cart to wait for us outside!"

Hearing that there is an ox carriage, Gu Xiaoyi shouted happily, "Oh, oh, oh! There is a carriage."

Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping took Gu Xiaoyi and walked outside the house, and they could hear their affectionate cries: "Brother Stone..."

Gu Xiaowan deliberately slowed down by half a beat. She wanted to put some money on her body, and she didn't know how to sell pen and paper in this era. There was nothing wrong with bringing some money.

Gu Xiaowan took out ten taels of silver from a corner on the kang, among which were two loose coins and a few pieces of silver, which Gu Xiaowan carefully hid in her chest.

Then the door of the big house was locked firmly, and then he got on the carriage and said, "Brother Shitou, you have worked hard for you today!"

"No, it's not hard work!" Shitou was not good at words and didn't know how to answer Gu Xiaowan's words, so he could only say this. It made Gu Xiaowan laugh.

Gu Xiaowan sat on the bullock cart with her arms around Gu Xiaoyi. Gu Ningping was restless and followed the stone to drive the bulls in front. Gu Ning'an also sat on the other side, quietly watching the surrounding scenery.

The weather has been fine these few days, the snow has almost disappeared, and the road is a little muddy, but it is better than a thick layer of snow. And because it was noon, the sun was still warm, so the few people sitting on the ox cart didn't feel cold.

Gu Xiaowan was accustomed to taking a break at noon, but now she couldn't bear the noon sleepiness, she closed her eyes and squinted her arms around Gu Xiaoyi. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at Liujia Town.

It may be because tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, so there are not many people on the street.

The few children who saw Gu's family looked at the surrounding scenery with curious eyes. Shi Shi said: "It's not the right time for us to come here today. The day after tomorrow will be New Year's Eve. Most people have bought everything and will not come to the market again. If this is normal, there will be many people here."

There are more people in the town than in the village, and it is more prosperous than in the village. Gu Xiaoyi was stunned when he saw it.

Although it is already twenty-eight, there are still many people in the town! But Brother Stone actually said that so many people are not too many. If there are more people in the town, how many people should there be!

Gu Xiaoyi stared at her big round eyes. The people in this town are really well dressed. Look at their clothes, they are still embroidered with tweeds, and some people wear that kind of smooth material, which is really nice.

"Candied gourd, big and sweet candied gourd..." Gu Xiaoyi's eyes were almost running out. Looking at the candied gourd stick on the small vendor's shoulder, a bunch of red things stuck in a straw. Inside the wooden stick, it looks delicious. Gu Xiaoyi secretly swallowed his saliva, the red one seemed to be delicious.

Gu Xiaowan kept her arms around Gu Xiaoyi, and when Gu Xiaoyi saw the delicious food, her eyes rolled.

How could Gu Xiaowan not know the immovable nature of a child, she hurriedly stopped the hawker who sold the candied haws: "Hey, little brother, wait! How do you sell candied haws?"

"A string of two cents!" The candied fruit seller was overjoyed when he heard someone ask the price.

It's New Year's Eve, and there are fewer people on the streets. People in this town, rich people don't worry about the New Year's Eve, but the candied haws are disgusting, and those who don't have money will use money when the New Year comes, let alone. Will spend money to buy candied haws.

It's been almost a long time, and there is no business today, so I can't help but worry. It's not easy to ask someone, and these children are dressed in clean and decent clothes. They are probably not small buyers. I'm really happy.
