Ping'an Village is located in Shanwowo, and the leader of the production team did not tell the village chief about this, so the villagers of Ping'an Village did not know that there was a market where they could buy things.
Song Xi planned to explore the market first. If the market was okay, he would tell the villagers and let some skilled people go there to see if they could make money.
"Aunt Xiao Xi, we have food at home, no need to buy it." Zhou Xiaoshu thought for a while, then shook his head and refused.
The family has harvested corn and sweet potatoes, which will last for a while.
In addition, after the late rice is harvested, it is time for the village to distribute grain, and then corn and sweet potatoes will be distributed again.
"Xiaoshu, this month, every household has food to eat, but can you have enough to eat?"
This year, the output of both fine and coarse grains is extremely low.
One acre of land can produce hundreds of kilograms, which is incredible.
What's more, each family's private land is only a small amount, how much food can it produce?
Many people only eat two meals a day.
"You kids just need to eat more, eat enough, and take good care of yourself so that you can earn more work points and food."
Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua made a lot of money from Song Xi, at least three to four hundred yuan.
This asset will definitely be on the 'rich list' in Ping'an Village, so they should treat themselves better.
Otherwise, if your body breaks down, no matter how much money you have, what's the point?
Zhou Xiaoshu glanced sideways at Zhou Xiaohua, and when he saw Zhou Xiaohua's eyes glinting and looking at him softly, he suddenly felt extremely distressed, "Okay, Aunt Xiaoxi, let's go with you tomorrow morning."
Their family does have food now, but they still eat sparingly, otherwise they really won't be able to last long.
His sister is often hungry and drinks water, and their father is quite selfish. He always eats himself and doesn't care about other things. If the family's food runs out, he won't care about them either.
"This is the right thing to do. When you have money, you have to take better care of your body and take good care of your body so that you can have a future." Song Xi reached out and touched Zhou Xiaohua's hair.
She often gave the two children diluted spiritual spring water to drink, and the two children became much whiter and stronger than before.
Such well-behaved and sensible children were not born into a good family, but they have to endure hardships to become great people. As long as they don't give up and don't compromise, they will definitely be good in the future.
The next morning, when Song Xi went out with a backpack on her back, Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua were already standing outside the door waiting for her.
The two children were each carrying a backpack.
They had received second-hand clothes before, but they were reluctant to wear them for fear of wearing them out, so they still wore old clothes when going out. They planned to save the second-hand clothes for New Years and holidays.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the market." Song Xi waved to the two children and asked them to follow.
After that, we walked to the bullock cart boarding point. At this time, there were several people sitting on the bullock cart.
Maybe it was because they were given five yuan to share new clothes, so everyone was in a good mood.
When he saw Song Xi and the two children walking over, he smiled and said hello to Song Xi for the first time.
Song Xi also smiled back, and then got on the bullock cart with the two children.
"Song Xi, are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something?" Xu Yunying asked curiously when she saw Song Xi sitting down.
She was not only curious about Song Xi but also grateful because Song Xi asked Zhou Xiaoshu to bring her food.
Now she and her children have no shortage of food to eat, and their health is getting better and better. All three children are much more beautiful than before, which shows that the food is really nutritious.
"No, I just went to the market to see if I could buy some food. The food has just been harvested. Maybe someone is in urgent need of money and will take the food out in exchange for money."
Song Xi felt that there was nothing wrong with this man, so he deliberately revealed the existence of the market. It was not easy for everyone, so he could help him if he could.
Besides, it was just a matter of words, and she didn't have to pay anything.
"A market?" Hearing this, Xu Yunying raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Does a market still exist now? Where is it? Can you tell me quietly?"
"I heard what others said, but I don't know the details, so I plan to go and take a look. If my aunt is free, she can follow us to take a look. Although the things in the market are not as comprehensive as those in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores,
But it's definitely cheaper than what's sold in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, and you might even be able to find specialties from other places!" Song Xi said in a low voice, remaining mysterious.
"Then I'll go with you. I can also help you look after these two children so that they don't interfere with your selection of things."
Xu Yunying had great trust in Song Xi, a benefactor whom she had never met before.
In addition, she went out today with the intention of buying food for the winter, but she did not have food stamps, so it was unknown whether she could buy them.
You can go to the market with Song Xi first. Maybe you can buy food at the market, so you don't have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Thank you very much, auntie. What do you call auntie?" Having Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua nearby does affect Song Xi's operation. It would be nice if someone could look after her.
"My name is Xu Yunying. You and everyone else can just call me Aunt Yunying." Xu Yunying was very fond of Song Xi. She was good-looking and so kind, but she was born into the wrong family.
Otherwise, how could a girl like this live a miserable life in a mountain cave?
The moment she heard Xu Yunying say her name, Song Xi was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that she was the Xu Yunying who was betrayed by her husband and widow.
Now that I am divorced and living with my children, it can be said that all the hardships have come to an end.
Song Xi did not show that she knew what happened to Xu Yunying, but smiled and said hello, "Hello, Aunt Yunying."
The ox cart had not yet arrived at the commune's meeting point. As soon as it reached the outskirts of the village closest to the commune, Song Xi asked the uncle driving the ox cart to stop, and then got off the cart with Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua.
Seeing this, Xu Yunying quickly got out of the oxcart with the basket on her back.
After the bullock cart had gone away, Song Xi led the three of them towards the village.
After passing through two villages, she arrived at the market that Li Qingqing told her about.
Although they left early, they still had a long way to go!
When we arrived at the market, the market was already full of stalls.
There are many people picking things, and it is crowded and crowded.
"There really is such a big market!" Xu Yunying sighed and then became a little angry, "Are you looking down on our Ping An Village? No one informed our Ping An Village that there was a market."
"Yeah, I guess the captain didn't remember that he still has a safe village under his command! Otherwise, we can pick some mushrooms, weave some bamboo baskets, and come over to sell them!"
Song Xi felt helpless. Who told Ping'an Village to be in Shanwowo? The information was not well-informed.
"Aunt Yunying, Xiaoshu, Xiaohua, let's go see something! Otherwise the things will be sold out soon, and our trip will be in vain. Xiaoshu, Xiaohua, you can follow me or Aunt Yunying, but don't do it anyway.
Just run around and don't talk nonsense to people you don't know, got it?"
Song Xi said something to a few people and started walking around the market.
