As soon as mao o'clock arrived the next day, Su Yuanyuan opened her eyes.
She used to have a good habit of getting up on time at six o'clock, so that now it has been deeply engraved in her biological clock.
She had thought about it carefully before going to bed yesterday. Qishan Mountain is located on the border of Qi State. Although it is remote, it also has an advantage. Applying modern knowledge to this place will not attract too much attention.
Su Yuanyuan first lit the big pot on fire and warmed the water while Jiang Wenzheng and his son got up to wash up.
There was still a little flour left when making cabbage and steamed buns yesterday, so Su Yuanyuan added some water to it and made it into a thin batter.
When the water boiled, Su Yuanyuan poured part of the hot water into the wooden bucket, and poured the rest into the batter to make pimple soup.
Rural people like to grow some vegetables in their small yards. Su Yuanyuan picked up some coriander and threw it into the soup to season it.
When the soup was cooked, Su Yuanyuan tasted it with a spoon and smacked her lips.
"not bad."
By this time it was almost daylight. She heard some movement in the main room and figured it was time for Jiang Wenzheng to get up.
Recalling how he went to take a shower in the dark last night, Su Yuanyuan thought for a while and knocked on the door first.
"Wen Zheng, am I coming in?"
The man in the room gave a lukewarm hum, and Su Yuanyuan opened the door and went in.
Little Douding was still sleeping soundly, with his two little hands clenched into fists. The temperature in the room had already risen, and Little Douding's face was flushed with heat.
Su Yuanyuan couldn't bear to wake up the sweet sleeping little Douding. She patted Jiang Zhiyi's shoulder gently and lowered her voice, "Ayi, it's time to get up, otherwise the meat buns will get cold~"
Xiao Douding slowly opened his eyes. He had just woken up and had not recovered yet. Although his eyes were looking around in confusion, his little arms were tightly wrapped around Su Yuanyuan's neck.
Su Yuanyuan mixed some hot water in the wooden basin and tested the temperature before washing Ayi.
"Mom, I can smell the aroma of meat buns."
Little Douding stretched his neck and looked at the table. Su Yuanyuan smiled and teased him, "Do you have a cat nose?"
"It's the beginning of the month today."
Jiang Wenzheng said this suddenly, and Su Yuanyuan didn't understand what he meant for a while.
Jiang Wenzheng thought that Su Yuanyuan deliberately pretended not to understand and wanted to avoid this time.
"The Chinese New Year will be in one month. It's time to go to the town to buy some New Year's goods to prepare. It's a long way and I have difficulty moving, so I can only trouble you."
What Jiang Wenzheng said was really polite. It didn't sound like a conversation between a couple at all, but more like talking to a stranger.
Su Yuanyuan was afraid that he would think that she would never change her character and would use He Lishu as an excuse again, so she had to agree quickly.
"Don't worry, I'll go after dinner."
After hearing this, Jiang Wenzheng's frown relaxed a little. Su Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed in her heart. Sure enough, it took a long time to resolve the relationship between the two of them.
"I'm going too!"
Xiao Douding, who had just finished drinking the pimple soup and was still licking the bowl, hurriedly interrupted.
He looked at Su Yuanyuan anxiously, as if he was afraid that Su Yuanyuan would disappear in the next second and leave him alone.
Su Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Wenzheng. The man's deep eyes would only look tenderly towards a pool of spring water when he looked at Little Douding.
"I will take good care of Ayi."
In this way, Su Yuanyuan carried the big basket and Jiang Zhiyi carried the small basket. The mother and son started on the road to the town, talking and laughing.
There are two roads to the town, one is the main road and the other is the small road. Although the mainland is flat, it is a long distance and takes two hours to walk. Although the small road is close, it is rugged and difficult to travel.
Su Yuanyuan took the main road without any hesitation. She carried all her family's belongings with her. Whether the family could survive this cold winter depended on her purchases. What would happen if she was robbed while walking on a side road?
manage.
Before leaving, Jiang Wenzheng specially made a shopping list for her, lest his troubled wife spend all her money.
Halfway through the journey, Ayi's short legs could no longer move.
"Mom, I'm tired, let's take a rest."
Su Yuanyuan felt very distressed when she saw Xiao Douding, who was so tired and out of breath.
She found a stone for Ayi to sit on. The two of them arrived in such a hurry that she didn't have time to prepare food and water.
"Ayi, please hold on, okay? I'll treat you to some fresh bean juice when you get to the city."
Ayi frowned slightly and asked, "What is fresh bean juice?"
"Just grind the beans into juice."
After thinking about it, most people in ancient times had a simple list of food. How could they come up with so many tricks like modern people? Su Yuanyuan seemed to be able to think of what she wanted to buy this time.
"Mom! It's an ox cart! Let's take a ride on the ox cart!"
Su Yuanyuan looked along where Jiang Zhiyi's little finger pointed, and saw an old scalper slowly pulling a wooden cart towards them.
When they got closer, Su Yuanyuan saw the peasant woman huddled on the wooden cart and wrapped like a rice dumpling.
The peasant woman driving the cart was older, looking to be in her fifties. When she saw Su Yuanyuan, she greeted her openly.
"Hey, from the Wenzheng family? Are you going to the town too?"
Su Yuanyuan was like a child who had never seen any relatives when she was a child. She didn't know who this seventh aunt or eighth aunt was, so she had no choice but to pin her hopes on the little Douding in her arms.
"This is Grandma Zhao next door. My mother calls her Aunt Zhao on weekdays. Aunt Zhao is very nice and she even secretly stuffed Ayi with sugar packets."
The old lady's gray hair was flying in the wind, but her round cheeks were full of smiles. At first glance, she looked like a kind-hearted old lady.
It turned out that it was common for the original owner to beat and scold A Yi. Although Aunt Zhao felt sorry for A Yi, she couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs casually, so she could only take more care of A Yi on weekdays.
"Aunt Zhao, isn't it almost the New Year? Wen Zheng asked me to go to the town to do some New Year shopping."
Aunt Zhao spoke kindly to Su Yuanyuan, and did not despise the original owner because of the outrageous things she did. Seeing A Yi Lei's little face turned red, she even took the initiative to invite them to sit in her oxcart.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the road in the distance, then at the exhausted child, took out two coins from her small cloth bag and stuffed them into Aunt Zhao's hands.
"What are you doing from the Wenzheng family? It's something you picked up along the way."
Seeing that Aunt Zhao was still polite to her, Su Yuanyuan patted her hand to reassure her and gave her a look.
Aunt Zhao and Uncle Zhao are getting older and can no longer do the heavy work in the fields like they did when they were young. Fortunately, there is an old scalper who retired with them at home. The old couple work together to attract people from the village to the town in the first and middle of every month.
, as tolls, the hitchhikers would give them two pennies. If Su Yuanyuan was not charged for the tolls, I am afraid that the people who hitchhiked behind would be unbalanced, and it would be difficult for Aunt Zhao to do business in the future.
Because the two of them greeted each other, the women who had been huddled in the back seat all raised their heads to take a look.
