When Fang Nuo heard this, he smiled and said: "As you know, Auntie, I have just moved here and I am not very familiar with anything nearby. Not only do I have no vegetables at home, but it will also take a long time to grow the vegetables. I just wanted to ask you, is there any morning market selling vegetables nearby?”
"So it's this. There is an alley to the west of our alley. Very early in the morning, there are indeed some villagers down there picking vegetables to sell, but you have to go early, otherwise you won't be able to buy anything," Aunt Chen said
"Auntie, can you take me there? I've just arrived and I haven't walked around clearly yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find the place." Fang Nuo asked.
"Okay, I'm going to buy some groceries tomorrow morning. You can come to my house and go with me. We'll get used to it after just one walk," Aunt Chen said.
This is a place that everyone nearby knows. Even if she doesn't take her there, if Fang Nuo goes to two more places, someone will be willing to take her there.
In the past two days, they had found out where the newly moved family worked. They heard that Comrade Fang's husband was a driver in the transportation team.
In this day and age, as long as you make a salary of 30 per month at work, you are worthy of being envied.
Moreover, Comrade Fang also said today that her husband used to be a soldier, so it would be more worthy of her to be friends with him. Maybe there will be something he needs help with in the future.
"Then I'll bother you, aunt, tomorrow. I'll come over and call you in the morning," Fang Nuo said.
She also thought that she still had unfinished digging in the vegetable patch, so she said hello to Aunt Chen and went back first.
Today, she first visited a house next door and several other houses in this alley. Fang Nuo wanted to visit later.
As soon as she moved in during this period, she first explored the top of the house, the neighbors coming and going, and then took her time later.
She went home and put the waiter in the house to sleep, made some food, and took Yaya to eat some. Soon Yaya started to feel sleepy. After she fell asleep, Fang Nuo went to the yard and continued to dig the ground.
Yaya got up after sleeping for an hour and a half. She and Fang Nuo prepared dinner in the kitchen and waited for Shen Gongqi to return from work.
When the family was having dinner, Fang Nuo told him what he had learned today.
After hearing this, Shen Gongqi asked: "Is this small morning market that you and Aunt Chen are going to a black market?"
"That should be it. I heard from Aunt Chen that this market only opens for a while in the morning and then disperses shortly after dawn. You have to rush early to go shopping," Fang Nuo replied.
"That's it, you better not go. If you want to buy something, try to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. If you don't have a ticket, tell me and I will find someone to replace it. Don't take the risk." Shen Gongqi was worried. said
"Are you too worried? I heard from Aunt Chen that many people in our neighborhood would go to this small morning market to buy things. If something happened, this morning market would not be able to exist until now. "Fang Nuo said
"But I don't dare to let you take this risk. I'll go with you tomorrow morning, okay?" Shen Gongqi said
"You still have to go to work," Fang Nuo said
"Let's go early. I'll go to work when we get back. Otherwise, if you go by yourself, I won't feel at ease," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay, if you're worried, then we can go together," Fang Nuo agreed.
Because we had to get up early the next morning, not long after the family had dinner that night, they washed up and rested.
Early the next morning, before it was even bright outside, the couple got up softly.
After getting dressed, the two went to the outhouse to pour water and wash themselves.
After washing up, Fang Nuo and the two went out with their backpacks on their backs, went to the next door and knocked on the door of the courtyard next door.
After a while, Aunt Chen opened the door and saw Fang Nuo and his wife. She said to them: "You are here. I will pick up something later."
After a while, Aunt Chen came out with a basket in her hand, and then walked in front of the two of them. Fang Nuo stepped forward and stood side by side with her, while Shen Gongqi followed quietly behind them.
The small morning market that Aunt Chen mentioned was not very far from their alley. The three of them walked for five or six minutes and arrived at the place.
The small morning market is hidden in a small courtyard between alleys, in the deepest part of the alley.
When the three of them arrived at the place, Aunt Chen said to Fang Nuo: "Okay, when you get to the place, you go and buy what you need first. Remember, you have to leave here in an hour. Don't talk nonsense after you go out, do you understand? "
"Auntie, we know it well. Thank you for bringing us two here. When I have time, I will go to your house to chat with you," Fang Nuo thanked
"Okay, you can come over when you have free time." After Aunt Chen said this, she separated from the two of them.
Fang Nuo took Shen Gongqi into the morning market and talked in a low voice with the stall owner selling things.
Thirty minutes later, the two of them had finished visiting the small market and bought the vegetables and things their family needed at the moment.
After buying things, Fang Nuo thought that he had to go back early to prepare breakfast and lunch for Brother Qi. The two left the morning market and returned home.
After returning home, Fang Nuo waited for Shen Gongqi to put down his backpack, and then said to him: "Brother Qi, please go into the room first and see if Yaya and Xiaoer are awake. I'll go and make breakfast for you. Eat it." Okay, you go back to work."
"Okay, just do something simple. Don't be in a hurry. There's still a lot of time before you go to work," Shen Gongqi said.
"Ok, I know"
Fang Nuo went into the kitchen, made breakfast for him first, and asked him to bring it and eat first.
Then knead the dough well, roll it into thin pancakes, and bake them in a pan.
I also fried green pepper potato shreds and cold tofu shreds to go with the pancakes. This was Shen Gongqi's lunch.
Pack it up, wait for Shen Gongqi to finish his breakfast, take it to the door to eat, give him the bag with lunch, and send him off to work.
After sending people away, she closed the courtyard door and went back to the kitchen to eat something simple to fill her stomach. Then she went to pick out all the things she bought today and put them on the vegetable shelf for easy access.
Among the things I bought today, there were a lot of dried vegetables made by farmers. When Fang Nuo saw some that he had never cooked, he bought some and planned to try them. If they tasted good, he would make some himself this year.
After packing her things, she went back to the house and lay on the kang for a while. When Yaya woke up, she got up again and took care of the two children to wash and eat.
After feeding Xiao Er, I held him and walked around in the yard. After a while, the little guy fell asleep again.
Seeing her brother sleeping again, Yaya said: "Mom, why does my brother love to sleep so much?"
"Because my brother is still young, sleeping can help him grow up faster. When Yaya was young, he was the same as his brother. When my brother grows up, he will have more time to play with Yaya." Fang Nuo said
"So that's it. Now that Yaya knows, I won't disturb my brother's sleep anymore." Little Yaya said, covering her mouth with her little hands.
