Pastoral Chronicle of Space

Chapter 21
The third day was October 28. I was supposed to go to the town to hand in the version, but it was delayed due to a happy event at the captain’s family.

In this era, happy events are simple. Ordinary people in the city talk to relatives and friends, drink water, and eat a piece of candy.Rural people have to look at the situation at home. .

Early in the morning, a group of people drove a tractor to pick up the bride, and it was very respectable to have a car.

Before noon, the bride and dowry returned.

The dowry is placed in the yard; there are two quilts, two porcelain washbasins, a pair of thermos bottles, a pair of pillow towels, some clothes for the bride, and two pairs of shoes.

how to say!Tian Tian felt shabby, but there were many people without dowry at this time.

The condition of the captain’s house is good, eating big pot dishes, the adults and children in the village are very happy.

A big pot of dishes means that all the ingredients are cooked together, and the soup is full with the vegetables.From time to time, there can be a little meat foam in it, which is very good.

Tian Tian sent a meter of red corduroy with black spots.The fabrics given here are usually one foot, mainly used to make shoes or clothes for children. They are usually made of Dacron fabrics, and Tian Tian’s is considered a very generous gift.

After delivering the gifts, I went home without staying for dinner.

Attending a simple wedding here, Tian Tian had a lot of feelings.

The quilt, the washbasin, and a few pieces of clothes put her whole life in this way, and she dared not even think about it.Marrying, getting married, she didn't even dare to think about it, saving money was the real business. .

Tian Tian couldn't bear to look directly at her when she thought of her net worth of only eight hundred and five yuan.

Eight hundred is placed in the space, and only five yuan and twenty cents are available in hand.Seriously short of money!Gotta figure out a way to get around town.

After breakfast the next day, Tian Tian went to the town together on the tractor in the village, and the old man was relieved to be with the captain and the others.

When he went to the town, he asked the mayor to hand over the brochure version. He was very satisfied after reading it, so he decided to use Tian Tian's version, and the matter was settled like this.

Coming out from the mayor, the team leader was going to a meeting, which probably took several hours. Tian Tian made an excuse to go to his classmates' house, so he made an appointment with them, and each was busy with his own business.

Tian Tian planned to go to see the couple from last time first, just in time to ask about the market situation.

She found a place to tidy up, carrying a basket on her back, which contained ten catties of black noodles, ten catties of corn dregs, a two catties of bacon and half a catty of brown sugar, and headed north.

The town is not too big, and Tian Tian arrived at the couple's home without much effort.After knocking on the door a few times, the door opened from the inside as soon as he put down his hand.

The woman was very excited when she saw Tian Tian, ​​she dragged her in, and dragged her all the way to the last room, as if she was waiting for her specially.

The man was still sitting the same as last time, and he was also very happy to see Tian Tian. The complexion of the two of them was much better than before, and the man's face was full of blood.

"coming--"

"Well, how does it feel?"

"Very good, alive."

alive.There's never been a better feeling than now to be alive from a dying person.

The woman came in and poured a glass of water for Tian Tian, ​​and she just sat beside her like this, looking at Tian Tian lovingly.

I don't know what she has experienced?But Tian Tian sincerely hoped that they would get better.

There are only two people in the family, not even a child.The way she looks at Tian Tian is so loving and hopeful, maybe the child is the pain in her heart!

Tian Tian wished he had thought too much.

She drank a few sips of water and began to dig out the things in the back basket.

"Next, make up for it, and keep these things for you to eat."

Looking at the grain, meat and sugar on the ground, the man nodded, and the woman put everything into the back room.

When they came out, there was another handful of money and tickets, much more than last time, and the woman forcefully handed them to Tian Tian.

"keep it--"

The simple two words, probably because I haven't spoken for a long time, my voice is a bit hoarse, but it's not unpleasant.

When the man saw the woman talking, he was a little excited and stared at her.

"Take it, the days will be long."

"Okay, it's a long time, I'll take it."

Without even looking at it, Tian Tian stuffed the bill into his bag, and took out two handfuls of candy from his bag to give them.The two were as happy as children, and immediately peeled off one and ate it.

Tian Tian ate the candy and remembered the business.

"I want to ask something."

Before Tian Tian finished speaking, the man answered.

"you say--"

"I want to ask where is the private market in this town?"

"Are you short of money?"

"Who would think too much money?"

The woman was very happy to see her husband being bullied.

The man looked at Tian Tian, ​​still very gentle.

"It's messy and unsafe."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely think about it if I can think about it. Besides, I'll go and have a look first, they won't pay attention to me as a child..."

It took a lot of talking and finally asked clearly about the market situation.

"You can just call me Tian Tian, ​​Tian Tian, ​​I will come to town to see you when I have time, I have to leave beforehand."

"In the market, if you have something to do, you can say that you are the man of the eighth master."

"Remember, I'm leaving quickly, Auntie doesn't need to send it off."

Tian Tian ran out in a hurry, and after walking a long way, looking back to see her still standing at the door looking at him, he felt inexplicably sad.Knowing this, he turned around and waved to her to let her in, she stood there without moving, Tian Tian hurriedly left, thinking that she would go back by herself!

Tian Tian didn't know, she stood at the door for a long time, until the man came out and pulled her back.

The market is behind one of the oldest dilapidated pig farms outside the city. The place is remote but not difficult to find.

In Tian Tian's back basket are two packs of black flour, two packs of corn dregs, and two handfuls of dried noodles, which are ten catties. Let's see the situation first.

Walking into the yard, there are overgrown weeds, broken walls and broken tiles, and there are still a few collapsed sheds.

There was a small wooden door on the far right, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was squatting at the door. Seeing Tian Tian, ​​he knocked on the wooden door a few times.After a while, the door opened from the inside, and a tall and thin young man in his 20s came out.

This should be the forest the man was talking about. He stood at the door and watched Tian Tian approach.

He was good looking, tall, thin and cold, with particularly sharp eyes, and he was wearing a blue cloth coat. He was a shrewd man at a glance.

"Is this the first time for the little girl?"

"First time here."

He took a few glances at the basket on Tian Tian's back.

"If there is food, I will."

This eye is not an ordinary thief, it seems that it is not a simple one.

"A little—"

"follow me--"

Tian Tian followed him in, it was an open-air place, and there were still many people.There are dried vegetables for sale, sweet potatoes, old clothes, small objects... There are a lot of odds and ends, but the food is not seen.

Tian Tian saw a lot of old objects, so he thought about going around for a while to see if there were any good things to buy.

Go in and turn right and there are two rooms, which seem to be the backyard of the pig farm.

There was no one in the room, just a few stools and a table.He sat on the chair in front of the table, motioned Tian Tian to sit down, put down the basket, and Tian Tian sat on the small stool at the door.

"What food did you bring?"

"Black flour, corn grits."

"I want them all, at the price here."

"Tell me about the price!"

"Twenty-five cents for black flour, two cents for corn dregs, what else do you have?"

"What's the price of your rice, white noodles and pork?"

Lin Zi began to look at the little girl squarely.He didn't think it was a casual question to ask these things that he couldn't even get.

"As long as there is something for polished rice, I pay [-] cents, white flour [-] cents, meat [-] cents, and eggs [-] cents. I want what I have, as much as I have."

This person is really shrewd, bold and careful, he is a good partner, and the price is also very high.

Don't think too much, one wants money, the other wants food, and the business is done.

"Today's is all here, and I plan to go shopping and exchange things. I can give you half."

"There are no good things here today, but there will be a lot of good things the day after tomorrow."

Tian Tian took out all his things, and he saw that he also asked for two handfuls of dried noodles, each one costing one yuan.

In the end, Tian Tian walked around inside with the money, and left directly when he saw nothing good.

When leaving, Lin Zi sent her to leave from the other side, and told Tian Tian that it would be safe to come here next time.

When Tian Tian went out, he put all the money into the space, and didn't plan to go shopping anymore, so he went to the recycling bin to have a look.In fact, there are many kinds of rare trees in the space, and there are many old ones that have grown for a long time. But the old things in the recycling bin are different. They are mainly crafts, which may not be able to be made in the future.

The aunt from last time was still in the recycle bin, and she was very happy to see Tian Tian coming, so she asked Tian Tian to go in and look for it by herself, saying that there were a lot of things just arrived in the morning, so she asked her to look for them slowly.

When Tian Tian went in, there were a lot of things thrown aside, without being turned over.

On the top is a large long table made of camphor wood. The table is in good condition. The wood is ordinary but the workmanship is fine. Tian Tian took it without hesitation.
