Chapter 279 Going to the market (monthly ticket plus eleven updates)
The closer the New Year is, the happier the children at home are.
Although the children were disappointed because the blue tears were gone, they were even happier when they heard that Ye Yaodong was taking them to the market.
But Lin Xiuqing's interest was not high, "You go ahead, I'm looking after the house at home. You should pay attention to the children and don't lose them. There are many kidnappers during the Chinese New Year."
"Let's go together. Winter clothes are thick and cotton-padded jackets are loose. You can't see them."
"I'm afraid of crowds..."
"No, it's only a little bit old, and it's not seven or eight months old. Let's go shopping for a while and come back."
"Dad, you promised to take us to the movies!"
Ye Yaodong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, our family is going to watch a movie together. Let's go together. It's rare that there will be many happy events this year. We can have a lively and prosperous New Year."
Lin Xiuqing was very excited when she said that. She hesitated and nodded. She would pay attention to it when the time comes and protect her belly more. Anyway, this is not the first time she is pregnant, and she is not very old, so it is still safe.
Women in the village still go to the fields carrying hoes for seven or eight months.
"Okay, we are going to the market~ We are going to the market~" Ye Chenghu ran to the door excitedly and shouted, he wanted to tell his brothers and sisters.
There is no doubt that I received another wave of envious looks.
They also want to go, but they dare not say it for fear of being scolded!
It's all because their mother didn't listen to her third uncle and now she wants to get angry at them. It's so difficult for them to be children!
I don’t know if their mother will give them pocket money during the Chinese New Year this year. They don’t dare to think about the new year’s money. Anyway, it is confiscated every year, but after confiscating it, they will give one or two cents as pocket money. This year, it is probably withheld...
Just thinking about it, Ye Chenghai's face fell!
When he saw Ye Yaodong's family of four walking out, he suddenly had an idea.
"Third uncle?"
Ye Yaodong stopped and said, "What are you doing? You have to go to the market and ask your parents to take you there. There are too many people and I can't stand it."
"No..." He trotted forward and pulled Ye Yaodong to a corner to whisper.
"Third uncle, can I discuss something with you?"
"What?"
"Tell Third Aunt that when she gives the New Year's money the day after tomorrow, can you only give half? And you can give the remaining half secretly?"
"Ah?" Ye Yaodong was a little confused and couldn't understand his brain circuit.
"My mother will definitely confiscate the New Year's money. She lost a lot of money and she won't give us pocket money if she is in a bad mood. If you give it separately, I won't be afraid." He said with a flattering smile.
Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead, "Slippery, let's talk about it the day after tomorrow!"
"Hey, then I'll take it as your consent."
Ye Yaodong smiled and ignored him, and continued to walk out with the older one and the younger one. Although one person could sit on the big bar in front of the bicycle, he was afraid that it would be crowded if two people sat in the back.
What's more, it's inconvenient to go shopping while pushing a bicycle. He also has to take care of one child and one child, which is inconvenient. The bicycle can easily be stolen when parked on the side of the road.
It is more convenient to go there and back by car. They can wait at the entrance of their village for various passing buses from the county seat to the town.
In recent days, there have been quite a few people going to the market in the village. Some were willing to wait by the roadside by car, while others walked to the town in groups.
I don’t know if it was because the New Year was approaching, and there were more and more passing cars. Not long after they reached the entrance of the village, a small bus from the county to the town came, and a family of four happily lined up to get on.
car.
Along the way, the two children kept chattering and chatted excitedly with the children in the same village in the car.
"My dad said that after shopping, he would take us to the cinema to watch a movie. I heard it was different from the ones shown in the village..."
"Really? Your dad is so kind..."
"I think so too. I'll tell you when I finish reading it..."
"Okay, okay... come back after watching the movie and tell us what the cinema looks like..."
Ye Yaodong held his forehead. Children are all like this, right? Adults love to show off, let alone children. There should be nothing wrong with them, right?
With the expectation of the two children, they got off the car directly on the street without sitting inside the station. As the New Year was approaching, the town was crowded with people, and it was difficult for cars to pass, and they moved at a crawling speed.
Ye Yaodong hugged one and held the other, and asked Lin Xiuqing to hold his sleeves so as not to get lost. They followed the crowd and moved forward slowly.
On both sides of the street are people selling vegetables and fish in baskets, or selling scattered heavenly gold ingots, window grilles and couplets, as well as various kinds of food and snacks.
He walked around along the way, and the child was so excited that he couldn't even blink his eyes, "Dad, Mom, the town is so lively today."
"Don't crowd around. It's easy to get crowded. If it's lost, we won't be able to find it anywhere. When the time comes, people will take it away, cut off its hands and feet, and let it go begging on the streets."
"Ah!" The two children were frightened and pulled him tighter, and Ye Chenghu did not dare to pull him forward.
But when he heard the cries of people selling marshmallows, he couldn't help but said, "Mom, I want to eat marshmallows!"
"Go over first..." It was rare for a family to go out to the market, but Lin Xiuqing would still satisfy her child's request.
They followed the flow of people and came to the marshmallow seller. There was an old man, a three-wheeled bicycle, a simple sugar machine, and many adults and children surrounding the stall.
The old man held a wooden stick in one hand and scooped sugar into the round hole in the middle of the machine with the other hand. He let it run at high speed, and then white filaments like spider threads instantly condensed inside the sugar machine. The old man
Stir the stick and let the white filaments wrap around the stick.
After a while, there were more and more white filaments, and the marshmallows rolled bigger and bigger. The uncle took another stick to take over, continued to roll the filaments, and passed the marshmallows in his hand to the children next to him.
Giving money in one hand and candy in the other, the child happily took it and left with the adult.
Under the eager eyes of the two children, it was their turn. Each of them took an oversized marshmallow and licked it directly.
“It’s delicious and sweet~”
"Mmm, so sweet!"
The two children had satisfied smiles on their faces, and looked at the couple with faces full of joy.
Ye Yaodong happened to see a photo studio on the roadside, and his heart moved, "Aqing, let's go to the photo studio to take a family photo? Our family of four has never taken a photo together."
Ye Chenghu jumped up excitedly in an instant, "Ah ah ah... ok, ok, we've taken pictures, I want to take pictures."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
It’s true that their family has never taken any photos, so it’s time to take one as a souvenir.
Unexpectedly, the business of the photo studio was also very good, and there was a queue when entering. Everyone probably wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to be in good spirits and have a lot of money, and take a family photo as a souvenir.
They arrived soon after, and after they sat down and took a photo, Ye Yaodong asked the photographer to take another photo, something more natural.
The two children stood beside them, each licking a marshmallow. The couple looked at the two children with smiles. The picture was particularly loving and full of happiness, which could be felt directly from the camera.
As soon as the photo was taken, Ye Chenghu ran to the photographer excitedly, "Show me, show me..."
"If you can't see clearly, you have to wait until the photo is developed."
"When will it be washed out?"
"It will be within a week at the earliest. You pay the money and come back to get it a week later. This is because there are so many people taking photos during the New Year and the film is used up quickly. Otherwise, it usually takes half a month to get it."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's normal. If my skills are not good now, I can get it in a week."
Being able to take pictures is an unexpected blessing. Although they can't see it right away, the two children are extremely satisfied.
Ye Yaodong was thinking about bringing the old lady and his father and mother over to take some photos as a souvenir.
After walking out of the photo studio, after walking a few steps, I saw the candy seller again. The two of them couldn't walk again.
I saw roadside stalls filled with candy figures of various shapes, including chickens, monkeys, and even phoenixes...
This is a small stall for painting candy figures. Next to the slate on which the candy figures are painted, there is also a disk with flowers, birds, beasts and insects painted on it.
After paying the money, you can turn the pointer on the disk and do whatever you want. The children around you will be attracted and begging the adults.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang didn't finish the marshmallows in their hands, so they pulled up their sleeves eagerly and looked at their parents.
"Dad, there is a candy man..."
Of course Ye Chenghu knows that his father is easier to talk to than his mother!
It's just two cents a piece, and Ye Yaodong has nothing to do with it. Now that he's out, the whole family can have a good time.
After he took out the money, he asked the two children to turn the pointer on the plate. Ye Chenghu, envied by the children around him, took a few sips into his palm and then rubbed his hands.
"Who did you learn this from? You even spit into your palms. Do you think you are doing some physical work?"
Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest son's actions speechlessly. He didn't know who he learned from. Children's ability to imitate is really strong.
"Haha, dad, don't make any noise, I want to turn into a phoenix! Phoenix...Phoenix..."
He swung the pointer, and it rotated rapidly. When it finally started to move slowly, he puffed up his cheeks and blew air, trying to blow the pointer to the phoenix, but it stopped at the tiger's position.
"Ah haha, tigers are fine too, I like tigers too!"
"Now that you've reached Yangyang, try imitating your brother's moves." Lin Xiuqing smiled and taught him gently in his ear.
But Ye Chengyang wasn't very good at it. He hooked his finger and the pointer stopped before it even made a complete turn.
Ye Chenghu said disgustedly: "You idiot, if you had known I would help you transfer."
"It's okay. Monkeys are also very good. It just so happens that he is a monkey!"
Ye Chengyang nodded happily, "Monkey, I am a monkey!"
The master who painted the candy figures started painting after they finished turning.
Sugar figures are painted on slate with syrup. The slate is mostly made of smooth and cold marble, and a layer of anti-stick oil is applied on it.
The master chef scoops up the cooked syrup with a small spoon and pours smooth lines on the stone slab. After thousands of times of tempering, their skills are very sophisticated and can be done in one go without any pause.
Moreover, the sugar syrup cools quickly on the stone slab, so it must be done in one go.
The process of making the candy man is very exciting. After a spoonful of sugar syrup is used up, the big tiger that has been outlined with lines is also lifelike.
The old master scooped up the sugar paintings with a small spatula, glued bamboo skewers on them, and handed them to Ye Chenghu.
Ye Chenghu took it excitedly, "My tiger...my tiger...haha..."
After painting Ye Chenghu's tiger, he immediately followed up with Ye Chengyang's monkey. The monkey was simpler, and after a while, it was condensed and formed under the skill of the master.
The children who were watching were also amazed. No child could resist the charm of the candy man. They begged their parents behind them one after another. Some parents who loved their children could only pay for it.
