Chapter 128 Going to the Market

Chapter 128 Going to the Market
When Wanwan woke up, it was still dark outside, and a dim oil lamp was lit inside the room, Baishou sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

Seeing her wake up, Baishou immediately asked with concern: "How is my daughter-in-law, is there anything uncomfortable?" Then he helped her sit up.

Wanwan glanced outside, and saw Baishou's clothes were neatly dressed, and then remembered that they were about to go back to the house after watching the moon, when she suddenly fainted.But right now I didn't feel any discomfort, so I shook my head: "I'm fine, maybe I got up in a hurry just now." Then asked him: "What time is it?"

"It's only Haishi, it's very early, lie down and rest!" As he said, he wanted to help her to lie down.

Wanwan laughed: "It's okay, I'll do it myself, how can I be so weak. You can go to bed too."

Bai Shou didn't make a sound, his face was calm, the hand holding her didn't show any sign of letting go, Wan Wan felt a little helpless and had no choice but to follow him.After Wanwan lay down, Baishou sat down and began to take off his shoes, saying: "You always don't listen to me, Doctor Wang said that you are tired and weak, tomorrow I will kill a chicken and make soup for you Make up."

Hearing this, Wanwan looked at him in surprise: "Did you invite Dr. Wang?"

Baishou nodded, he was dazed when she fainted.

Lie down on her side, reached out and pulled the quilt on her body up to cover her chest, and said softly: "Although it is summer, but it is cold at night, you still have to cover her with the quilt."

Seeing his careful look, Wanwan felt a little fussy but still felt sweet in his heart, and said angrily, "Women are anemic, so there is no need to call for a doctor at such a late hour."

Bai Shou looked serious, and said: "You fainted for no reason, I was terrified at the time, how could I not ask a doctor. No matter how we usually save money, this can't be saved. Although it is always inconvenient to have an afterlife at home , I was worried that you wouldn’t see me when you woke up, so I went to invite Mrs. Qingye over again. She just left for a while!”

"What, did you invite Mrs. Qingye over?" Wanwan felt even more sorry, this woman's anemia was caused by physical reasons, and she was really embarrassed to disturb others in the middle of the night.It's hard for Baishou to work hard for her in the middle of the night.

Reach out and touch his face: "Thank you Baishou, you are so kind!"

There was a smile on the corner of Baishou's mouth, and at the same time he told her: "Doctor Wang didn't prescribe medicine to let you rest more, so you don't need to work anymore." Then he muttered to himself: "Fortunately, I went to invite Doctor Wang."

"What? What do you mean by luck?" Wan Wan looked up at him.

Baishou shook his head: "It's nothing, I mean luckily you're okay."

Wanwan pouted, although her body was not as strong as those women in the village, and she was not bad, but whoever didn't care about her body asked him: "Then what else did Doctor Wang say?"

Baishou smiled slightly, brushed a strand of her hair with her finger and circled it on her finger, and said softly: "No problem, it's just that your body is weak, that's why you fainted, you need to make up more and pay attention to rest." .So, from now on, you don't have to worry about the work at home and have a good rest."

"There's no need for this. Let's just kill a chicken and eat it tomorrow." Since she is not sick, she doesn't need to rest.

Wanwan planned this way, but Baishou didn't think so.

The next morning he got up early to make breakfast, and specially boiled an egg for Wanwan.

Then I killed an old hen in the morning, and stewed it before noon. The whole kitchen smelled like chicken soup, and Baishou did all the housework by himself.In the afternoon, she was not allowed to go out to help cut pigweed, Wan Wan was helpless and speechless.

So rest at home for a few days.She eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, and her idle life is quite good, but Baishou's cautious attitude makes her a little strange.

One day, the whole family drove a bullock cart to the market. Baishou drove the cart, and Laisheng sat next to him, and Wanwan sat in the back.There was a little incident on the way to the market.

Xiangxiu was standing on the way to the market with the wheat grass and talking to Ge Da. From a long distance away, they saw the two angrily staring at each other, as if they were arguing about something.When I got closer, I found that the faces of both of them were not very good.

Wanwan greeted Xiangxiu, and the three of them went to the market without staying too long.The relationship between the two is really intriguing. She once asked Baishou, but Baishou didn't know what the relationship between Xiangxiu and Ge Da was.Baishouben is the kind who doesn't like to inquire about right and wrong, even if something really spreads in the village, he probably won't inquire about it.

When they went to the market, the two of them bought all the things that were lacking at home, such as flour, rice... and then went to buy things for the villagers.

Because their family has an ox cart, as long as they go to the market now, someone in the village will ask them to help bring some things back.They are all small things, anyway, they are on the way, and the two agree readily every time.

In his later life, he carried two copper coins in his arms, which were given by Wanwan as a reward for his hard work the day before.As soon as he arrived at the market, he took out the copper coins and began to look around. Finally, when Baishou went to the shop to buy something, when Wan Wan was not paying attention, he took the copper coins and ran to buy a bunch of candied haws.

Wanwan didn't know that this baby liked eating candied haws so much, so he told him not to run around anymore.

When Baishou came out after buying something, the three of them were going to the clothes shop. The clothes on Laisheng were already a bit old, and Wanwan was going to make new clothes for Laisheng when he was going to put Baishou on.I was very happy when I found out about the next life. I am a fool, but I know that I have to wear new clothes.

Later, when I passed a crowded place, I saw a few acrobats, people from three floors inside and three floors outside, and ran into the crowd as soon as I stretched my neck.Wanwan has been to the market many times, but he has never seen acrobatics performers, so he took a look outside the crowd to see something new.

It's a pity that there were too many people. She walked around the crowd, her neck was almost broken, but she didn't see what was going on inside. She only heard everyone's applause.Baishou tied the ox cart to a nearby tree, and pulled her to stand on a stone outside a nearby shop.

There was an old man, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a woman in the crowd.The old man held the gong and kept beating the drums when it was exciting, adding to the lively atmosphere of the wonderful performances in the field.Previously, young men performed fire breathing, while middle-aged men performed chest breaking boulders.And that woman is also delicate and strong, holding a knife and dancing quickly and well, which was greeted with applause from everyone.

When a few people were able to perform, the old man took the gong and went to the crowd to ask for rewards. The big guys would all take out copper coins. The people watching the performance in the crowd included ordinary people and wealthy families.

After watching it for a while, Wanwan felt that it was no different from modern times, and that it was not as exciting as modern times, so he went to find the afterlife outside the crowd, and the afterlife was watching vigorously on tiptoe.

"We should go back in the next life."

"Look again." Laisheng stretched his neck so that the old man's head didn't even look back, and he bent back.

Over there, Baishou had already brought the ox cart over, when there was another bang from the crowd.

"Good!" Everyone shouted again.

Lai Sheng also clapped his hands vigorously, Wan Wan looked helplessly at Baishou, and shouted a few more times of Lai Sheng, leading the two women who were standing beside him to look over.

Wan Wan sighed helplessly, walked over and twisted the ears of the next life, pulled him out, and said lightly: "If you don't leave, I won't buy you clothes for a while!"

The next life pouted immediately.

Wanwan smiled, and said again: "Let's go shopping for clothes first and then come back to have a look, how about?"

"it is good!"

There were new clothes to wear and performances to watch, and the next life responded immediately, and then the three left the crowd and went to the clothes shop.Who told her that she didn't know how to needle and thread, so she had to buy ready-made clothes, she chose a suit for Baishou, and another suit for the next life, and gave a deposit, saying that she would pick it up at a later date.

Most people in this market only buy cloth, and few people directly ask the store to make it. Of course, there are also big families who come to buy good cloth, but the big families will have regular tailors.

Wanwan comes to this store every time. The boss is a fine guy. He can see that Wanwan probably doesn't know how to needle and thread. After selling the cloth, he can also help make clothes with handwork, so the reception is quite warm every time.They are all regular customers, and the boss specially gave some gadgets.

Wan Wan took a closer look at the sachet in her hand, it was made of ordinary coarse cloth, suitable for a farmer like her, with some simple flowers embroidered on it, which looked pretty good.

"Miss Boss, look at me, a village woman, what are you doing with this thing, why don't you charge less money for those two clothes!" Wan Wan put the sachet on the cabinet and said with a smile.

"Oh, big sister, you are smarter than me!" The proprietress twisted her fat waist and said with a smile, and put the sachet on the cabinet back into her hand: "I made this thing myself, and the color on it is pretty good. It just happens to be made of rough cloth, just for you farmers to use! Who doesn’t go out without some money, look how beautiful this thing is when you hang it on your body..."

The proprietress said a lot: "...you are my regular customer, so I gave this to you. I gave you the lowest price for those two clothes. Nuo, if you don't want them , just pay me back?" Then he reached out to her.

Wanwan smiled secretly, as if she said how benevolent she was, put the sachet in her arms, and said with a smile: "Why don't you want this good thing? But, next time you have to give me a cheaper price!"

"Oh, my sister, I've never seen you so good at bargaining. Please do me!"

While the two were talking, another person came to the store.

Wanwan talked to the proprietress and then left the shop, Baishou took a measure and waited outside, only in the next life, regardless of whether this is a place where women often come, he looked around inside.

"Next life, next life, what are you still doing, we have to go!"

In the next life, he glanced at the colorful cloth and ran out.

The proprietress smiled at Wanwan outside the store as a gift, and then began to receive the two women who had just entered the store: "Mom, what kind of cloth do you want to choose today?"

The older woman glanced at the proprietress, said indifferently: "Just take a look." Then she said to the young woman beside her: "Ling'er, go and see if there is still the color that my aunt liked last time?"

Then she turned her head and looked at the three figures who had disappeared driving the ox cart outside the store, and her brows gradually frowned, as if thinking.

 Merry Christmas everyone...
