    ?

    In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and the foot injured by the bean pestle has healed.  Fortunately, the nail cover was not injured, but there was a 5 mm deep wound at the edge of the nail cover, but it has healed now.

    Take off the bandaging cloth, and I, the "barefoot fairy", can run freely again!

    "Ren Tao, put your shoes on." Grandma just finished feeding the chickens, and came out of the chicken garden and said, "I'll take you to the market after I clean up the house."

    "Okay! Wear it right away!" Vasa!  After waiting for so long, it's finally here!  There are many delicious foods on the street, but they are the ones that I will never forget.  It's a pity that after my parents went out to work, I didn't go to the street.

    We like to go to the Liao's house, but we don't know the specific reason.  Since my grandpa rode a bicycle, my grandma couldn't carry me. When I was in kindergarten, I was too young to walk 6 kilometers back and forth with my grandma. My body couldn't bear it.  But I'm not afraid now, I'm in preschool, and I've grown taller, so I can walk so far alone.

    The younger sister is so young, she definitely can't take it with her, and she can't walk that far, what should I do if I can't walk halfway?  After some careful analysis and explanation, and promised to bring her a lot of delicious food, I successfully found my other shoe under the guidance of my sister.  Hey, this little brat is playing tricks on me.

    After putting on my shoes, I sat on a chair and waited for grandma to finish cleaning up.  It feels like a long time has passed, and grandma hasn't finished it yet, so I stood up, walked to the courtyard dam, looked at the sky for a while, and paced back and forth for a while.  It shows the anxiety in my heart.

    "Brother, you're so annoying walking around, please be quiet," my sister appeared behind me, holding her doll and said.

    "You're the one who's bothering you, let's talk about me, I won't bring you delicious food." I said speechlessly.  "I don't know what grandma is busy with. She agreed to take me to the market, but there is no movement again."

    "I'll take a look for you" the younger sister said and ran to the door, just in time to meet the grandma who came in.

    "Where are you going?" Grandma asked, staring at her younger sister.

    "Grandma, brother is waiting for you, call me for help to see you come back after a long time"

    "Immediately, I will set off after changing my clothes" Don't run around, grandma said as she walked.

    Seeing that grandma had returned, my anxious heart became calm instead.  After grandma changed her clothes, she took out the egg basket from the cabinet.  Pick out the eggs one by one, put them into the bamboo basket, and count them carefully before closing the lid.

    "Grandma, do you sell eggs?" I asked curiously.

    "Well, you can sell them on the street, and you can buy some delicious food when you sell them. There are so many eggs, and you can't finish them." Grandma said after putting the empty egg basket back under the cabinet.

    In fact, I know that grandma wants to use eggs to make money for the family.  Grandpa and grandma usually do farm work very hard, and the meals at home are very simple. The eggs are saved one by one, and after they are collected, they are sold on the street.  (Because I heard from my grandfather that he used to eat 10 eggs at a time)

    After instructing my sister, grandma took the egg basket, locked the door, and took me to set off.

    Following the road by the river all the way up, passed the first village, and then set foot on the area of ??the Liao family.

    As a neighboring village, I am very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and I usually like to play around, but I don't know many people in the neighboring village.  The only one I know is because I got to know each other when I was playing with my friends.

    Along the main road, walk for about 10 minutes, cross the arch bridge, and you will find the second village. There is a pig butcher here. It is said that he kills hundreds of pigs every year around the Chinese New Year, which is very powerful.

    People from several surrounding villages all come here to kill pigs for the New Year, especially when the end of the year is approaching, there are so many people and the atmosphere is very good.

    Grandma switched the egg basket to the other hand and continued to lead me to the destination.  After passing through this big village, you can see the Zhou Family School.  I wonder if Dr. Huang is still busy today?  Is he going to the market too?

    The school has already started classes, the school gate is very quiet, there are no children running back and forth.  After passing by the Zhou Family School, we will change to the path.  Of course, the main road can reach the destination of this trip, but the small road is much closer, and only needs to pass through 3 villages, which will save half of the journey.

    When we walked out of the village, my grandma and I stopped. There were a few big stones on the side of the village, polished and polished, for passers-by to take a rest.  Grandma put the egg basket on the ground and sat next to me.

    Put your legs on the rocks to stretch out, gently knead your calves, it's comfortable!  After sitting for about 10 minutes, grandma and I continued to set off.

    After walking through 2 villages, we arrived at the main road.  road??There are many vehicles coming and going, all kinds of bicycles, tricycles, coming and going.  On both sides of the road are pedestrians like us.  Some carried eggs in baskets to sell on the street, and some carried sacks with chickens, ducks and rabbits for sale.

    Those who went to the market went early, and those who had already returned brought back purchased snacks, vegetables, meat, and children were happily holding marshmallows, and candied haws ran past in front of them.

    The white soft cotton candy is delicious at first glance, and my sister absolutely likes it.  I secretly wrote it down in my heart, and I must bring one back to my sister later.  As for candied haws, I am more suitable.  Hahaha, if you want to buy it for me, I will still give 2 to my sister.  After all, there are 5 in a string.

    The speed of the passing vehicles was very fast, bringing up dust on the main road.  The smell of earth is mixed with various unknown smells, which is very pleasant.

    Follow the people who went to the market in front, follow their footsteps, and move on.  Although everyone didn't know each other, they were very friendly and greeted each other.  Occasionally, I would meet people who came back from the market in our village, and they would say hello loudly from a distance, ask about the price of meat today, or care about whether others bought something delicious.

    On the side of the road, there is a root carving factory. After passing this factory, it is not far from the street.  His family specializes in root carving. It is said that this thing is very profitable. I personally don't understand this.

    "Wow the eggs you mentioned? How do you sell them?" A middle-aged man came out of the root carving factory and asked my grandma standing on the side of the road.

    "Five yuan and ten" grandma replied.  (Ten means ten in our case)

    "Five yuan, I can't afford this price, 4 yuan 5, if you agree, I will take it all." The middle-aged man said: "You mentioned the street, it is also 4 yuan 5"

    Grandma thought for a while, and said: "I have 30 eggs here, why don't you give me 14 yuan?"

    "Eh I want it"

    So, after paying the money in one hand and delivering the goods in the other hand, the transaction was completed. Grandma picked up the empty basket and put the money away, feeling a lot easier in an instant.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
