In the past two months, she had earned more than two thousand yuan. Since she had nothing to spend money on, she saved it all.
After the spring planting was over, the captain gave everyone a day off, and Aunt Dahua came to ask Fang Nuo to go to town with her.
She thought that she hadn't been there for more than ten days, so she agreed to go to town together by bullock cart the next morning.
In the morning, she got up, washed up, had a simple breakfast, and went out with Yaya on her back in the early morning.
When we arrived at the village entrance, we saw from a distance that Aunt Dahua was already waiting for the bus with several other aunts in the village.
Fang Nuo walked over with Yaya on his back and said, "Aunt Dahua, I'm not too late."
"No, I've just arrived a while ago, and the oxcart hasn't arrived yet. It's not too late," Aunt Dahua replied.
"That's good. I'm afraid I'll be late. My aunt is going to buy something today," Fang Nuo asked.
"That is to say, I can buy some things for my family, and then I can exchange them for eggs from home, and I can also supplement my family's income," said Aunt Dahua.
"Then let's go shopping separately and then meet at the entrance of the town when we come back," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, what are you going to buy?" Auntie Dahua asked
"Buy some milk powder for Yaya, and then check to see if there is any meat or bones, and buy some to eat," Fang Nuo said.
"Since you are going to the meat stall, if you think there is still meat then, bring me some, and I will give you a ticket when you come back," said Aunt Dahua.
"Okay" Fang Nuo responded.
The two chatted for a while, and a few more people arrived. Everyone stood together and chatted in low voices about what they were going to buy in the town, or what agricultural and sideline products they should exchange for in the town.
After more than ten minutes, the ox cart from the village arrived.
A group of people got on the car and each found a place to sit. After a while, the cart was filled with people. The uncle took the car and started driving the cattle without waiting for anyone else.
After staggering for more than an hour, everyone arrived in the town.
After getting off the bullock cart, Fang Nuo said to Aunt Dahua: "Auntie, go and change the eggs first, and I will go to the meat stall first."
"Sure, go ahead," Aunt Dahua replied.
The others got off the bullock carts and dispersed into the town.
When Fang Nuo entered the town, he first found a place to send Yaya, who was still sleeping, into the space, and then dressed up and took the goods to the black market.
More than an hour later, she came out of the black market and walked around for a while. No one followed her before entering a deserted alley. Then she went into the space and changed back to her morning clothes, picked out some things and put them in her backpack. Okay, after covering it with a cloth, I went to carry Yaya in front of me, and then walked out of the space with the basket on my back.
After getting out of the space, she walked out of the alley and went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. When she saw that there were only a few bones left on the meat stall over there, and a pair of pigs in the water, Fang Nuo left. In the past, I spent two yuan to pack everything.
After the stall owner wrapped the things in oil paper, she took them and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
Later, Fang Nuo went to the state-owned restaurant to pack a few steamed buns. He took out a basket from his backpack and loaded the pig meat and bones with it. After packing the steamed buns, he walked towards the entrance of the town.
When she arrived, she saw only a few aunts from the village. They helped her put the backpack aside on the ground. Fang Nuo thanked her and said, "Thank you, aunt."
"You're welcome, it's just a matter of helping me," the aunt replied with a smile.
After a while, Aunt Dahua came back, but the bullock cart hadn't arrived yet.
"Xiao Nuo, you're back, how do you feel?" Aunt Dahua asked
Fang Nuo knew that she was asking about buying meat, and there were many people here, so it was difficult to say it first, so she nodded to indicate that she had bought it.
"That's it. There were too many people going to get things to exchange today, so I queued up. When I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, everything was collected there," said Aunt Dahua.
"Next time, if I want to bring my aunt, you can tell me what you want to bring. I'll go take a look first," Fang Nuo said.
"That will have to come when you are free, but the things I bought this time are enough for the family to use for a long time. I don't know when I will come to town next time," Aunt Dahua said.
"Mom" At this time, Yaya in Fang Nuo's arms woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw her mother. The little girl became energetic immediately.
In the past two months, Yaya has been able to walk on the ground. Now she can let go, but she is still not very stable.
So every time Fang Nuo let her go to walk, someone had to follow her, for fear of accidentally knocking her somewhere.
For this reason, she wrapped all the sharp corners of the furniture in the room with cloth.
This was also when Yaya had just learned to walk. She was busy cooking in the kitchen. The little girl was too curious about the outside world, so she walked out of the house on her own, but after a while, Fang Nuo heard crying.
When I ran out, I saw that the little girl had collapsed beside the vat where she was making pickles, sitting on the ground crying very sadly.
As she got closer, she saw a big bump on her forehead. That incident made Fang Nuo feel distressed for several days.
I hugged the girl and coaxed her for a long time. When she stopped crying, I went to get some meat oil and applied it to the area where her swelling was. It took another two days for the swelling to subside.
From then on, she didn't dare to let the child move out of her sight.
After that time, Yaya would always walk away from the big tank at home when she saw it. She must have been frightened by that time.
"Yaya woke up," Aunt Dahua said
"Yes, be good. Let's put you down when we get home. Do you want some milk?" Fang Nuo asked.
"Yes, Yaya... I'm hungry," Xiao Yaya said
Now Yaya can speak two or three words. I think after some time, she will speak more smoothly.
Fang Nuo took out the milk he had prepared for her in the morning from his bag. He touched it and it was still warm. He poured some out and tried it. It didn't taste bad, so he gave her a bottle to drink.
The aunt on the side saw that Yaya was still drinking milk at such an old age, so she said loudly: "Your Yaya is still drinking milk at such an old age. I heard that she still drinks milk powder. How much does it cost? Since the children are all Now that you can eat, don’t waste this money.”
When Fang Nuo heard this, her expression changed a bit. Whatever she wanted to feed her child was her own business and no one else needed to say anything.
"Auntie, what you said is wrong. A child is just growing up. If we just feed her the food that adults eat, she won't be able to absorb much nutrition. This milk powder is mixed with her, so that the child can grow. a little better.
Then there is my child. How to raise it is my business. You have nothing to do with my family. I don’t need you to teach me how to raise the child," Fang Nuo said.
"Niu Guihua, if you can't speak, then speak less," Aunt Dahua also said at the same time.
She had also advised Fang Nuo before that since the child could eat some food, he should not feed him milk powder.
At that time, Fang Nuo gave her a good explanation, saying that giving the child milk powder was to supplement some nutrients that food could not supplement, and since she could afford it, she wanted to give the best to her child.
