There was constant sound of gongs and drums, lion dancers, and hawkers.
All kinds of vendors have crowded into the residential area, and the road is blocked.
And the place with the most people is this three-way intersection, and this blockage directly blocks three roads.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shengli frowned.
"In this case, can our school bus still get out?"
"It's okay to go out. I've said hello in advance. I'll take a detour."
"What kind of detour? Isn't this the only way?"
"There is nothing you can do if you pass by the residential area. It is an emergency and we must treat it extremely."
Zhang Shengli breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could pass, he was worried that the car would not be able to pass, which would affect the children's class.
The situation before him really shocked Zhang Shengli.
There were so many people, it was almost crowded, and there was no place to step down.
This kind of scene would only happen when I was attending temple fairs when I was a child. I didn't expect that it would happen in front of my house today.
At that time, together with the children in the village, each holding more than ten yuan in his hand, we walked for several miles.
Then go to the town to attend the temple fair.
In the past, children under the age of ten would dare to run around without any adults following them.
But things are different now. Even if the children are older now, they must be followed by someone and they are never allowed to leave the sight of their adults.
At that time, my family had no money, so others would take more than ten yuan, and I only had a few yuan as pocket money.
When I arrived in town, I had a plate of jelly and listened to a show. I didn’t even have money to watch acrobatics.
But I was very happy and pure at that time, completely unlike the children of today.
If you have nothing to do, you can play with your mobile phone or hide at home to play games. How could these things be available at that time?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shengli licked his lips and said to Xie Fugui, "Shall we go eat jelly?"
"What?" Xie Fugui didn't react for a moment.
"Over there!" Zhang Shengli pointed to a jelly stall and said, "It tastes very good. This was my favorite when I was a kid."
Xie Fugui was stunned for a moment. He grew up in the city, how could he understand Zhang Shengli's hobbies and fun when he was a child.
He nodded almost subconsciously: "Then go and try it."
Zhang Shengli laughed, took Xie Fugui to the stall, and asked the boss: "How much does a bowl cost?"
The boss is very busy right now, and he hardly even has time to collect money, so he just cooks bowls of it.
When someone asked, he replied without raising his head: "Five yuan a bowl."
Zhang Shengli twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Four bowls first."
He remembered that a bowl of this stuff cost 50 cents when he was a child. At almost every temple fair, he only had enough money for a few bowls of jelly.
In the past few years, the quality of life has improved a lot, but prices have also risen rapidly.
"No, there are two of us, why do you want so much?" Xie Fugui tugged on Zhang Shengli's sleeve.
"This is delicious. You'll know after you try it later. I'm sure you'll want to eat it again after you finish it." Zhang Shengli laughed.
"Then you can't order so many at once?" Xie Fugui was speechless.
Although twenty yuan is nothing, it cannot be wasted, not to mention that I am still losing weight recently.
Because there were so many people, the two of them waited for about ten minutes.
When the boss brought two bowls of jelly to the two of them, Zhang Shengli was stunned for a moment.
"It was a miscalculation. This amount is quite sufficient."
It's really quite filling. It used to be a small plate, but now it's just a bowl.
Looking at the four full bowls in front of him, Zhang Shengli was stunned, and Xie Fugui was also dumbfounded.
"It's okay, eat!" Zhang Shengli said and started eating.
The taste is still the same, but I can no longer taste the same feeling as before.
Zhang Shengli was so fast that he filled a large bowl directly into his stomach.
Now his appetite is not as big as usual, but it doesn't matter to him whether he eats more or less.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Zhang Shengli looked at Xie Fugui's inhalation and couldn't help laughing.
“It’s delicious, but don’t eat too much, it’s a bit spicy!”
"Is it spicy enough to taste good? Is one bowl enough? If so, give me another bowl!"
Xie Fugui didn't want to talk to Zhang Shengli, so he said without raising his head: "If you want to eat, just order another bowl. I'm so fat, how can two bowls be enough?"
Zhang Shengli smiled a little happily: "This is a very good snack here. You can't eat such an authentic snack at ordinary times, you can only eat it during temple fairs.
Hurry up and eat, then let’s go watch the acrobatics show after dinner.”
"Everything about acrobatics is just for fun. Do you still like this?" Xie Fugui finished one bowl, wiped his mouth, and picked up the second bowl again.
"It's different, but to be honest, I haven't seen it before." Zhang Shengli said with a smile.
"You haven't seen it?"
"My family used to be so poor that we had no spare money to watch this. Now that we have money, we no longer have the chance to watch it."
After hearing this, Xie Fugui was still eating, but suddenly stopped.
Look at Zhang Shengli, and then look at the happy look on his face.
He finally understood why Zhang Shengli ordered so much jelly.
"Okay, let's get together later!"
………
On the other side, Tang Rou and others were also having a great time.
But a group of them is really eye-catching.
When walking among the crowd, the rate of turning heads is almost 100%.
"Which village do these girls come from? So on point!"
"Stop your mouth, kid. This is from Yuelong Villa."
"Where is it? Yuelong Villa? How do you know?"
"Did you see the one holding the child? I met the village chief of Yuelong Villa at Fang's."
"Zhang Shengli's wife?"
"Do you still know Zhang Shengli?"
"Who among us doesn't know Zhang Shengli. The rapid development of our place has a lot to do with him."
Occasionally, we would comment and discuss the things we met on the street.
A few women seemed to be used to it.
"Xiaorou, I seemed to have seen victory just now." Tang Li whispered to Tang Rou in front of her.
"Victory? Impossible, how could he run over?"
"Really, I seemed to be eating snacks with Fugui at the stall over there just now."
Tang Rou was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of Tang Li's finger.
But she didn't see it.
"Don't worry about him, let's play with him whether he comes or not."
Tang Li smiled and said, "Then where should we go next?"
"Let's go see acrobatics. I saw it when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in a long time. I miss it a lot."
Hearing what Tang Rou said, the women walking at the front also agreed.
"Then let's go watch the acrobatics, but there are a lot of us, so it'll be okay."
"What can happen?" Zheng Xiaoman, who was holding his son on the side, also said the same thing.
But at this moment, several people walked over from behind them. Because there were too many people, they didn't pay attention.
