Few people know about some nearby ancient towns, and even fewer people go there. Now they have not become tourist attractions. They are just ordinary towns. Only those who are interested in history and architecture know about them.

This place is relatively close to the city, just right for them to have fun.

After deciding on the location, everyone was not in a hurry. They had been playing outside for the past few days and were a little tired. Father Tang and Mother Tang decided to take them to rest at home for a day before going out the day after tomorrow.

"It just so happens that if you don't go out tomorrow, I'll take you to a relative's house." Seeing that they decided not to go out, Old Mrs. Chen spoke.

"Where else are you going?" Tang's mother asked. Didn't you visit them one by one in the past few days? Any other relatives?

"It's the Zhou family." My aunt said from the side with a slight smile on her face.

"Ah, okay, I got it." Tang's mother lost her voice. She knew that the Zhou family was the family of her aunt's unmarried fiancé.

Tang's mother knew, but Tang Xin, her brother and Chen Xi didn't know. But there were so many people at that time, and Tang Xin didn't ask.

After breakfast, Tang Xin asked her cousin. Tang Xin and the others didn't know about the Zhou family, but Ruoqing knew about it. Even though she was young, the two families had been in contact for so many years and the relationship was not bad, so for her aunt I still know more about my mother-in-law than Tang Xin and the others.

Therefore, Ruoqing told them what she knew about the Zhou family and the Zhang family.

When my aunt was young, she had a fiancé named Zhou Chengsi. The Zhang and Zhou families are family friends and are both wealthy local families. They grew up together since childhood and can be said to be childhood sweethearts. When they grew up, the elders of the two families made an engagement for them. Because they have a friendship that they have grown up with since childhood, and because they have similar interests, they have a very good relationship.

They even made an appointment to study abroad together after they get married. But in that turbulent era, only a few people could live peacefully, and the uncle's fiancé was affected. When he went out again, he accidentally got involved in a melee between local warlords, and was innocently implicated. seriously injured.

"I heard from the elders that he disappeared before he could be sent back in time. My aunt locked herself in the room for several days, and everyone was worried that she wouldn't be able to get out. But it was okay later. My aunt thought about it and decided to leave on her own. Studying and traveling alone." Ruoqing sighed.

"Then my aunt never married. My father and uncle originally wanted to provide for my aunt in her old age, but my aunt decided to go to the capital to teach cousin Tang Xin, and then she stayed in the capital to take care of herself. What happened next? knew."

"Our family has been very close to the Zhou family over the years, and we usually have a lot of contacts. Last time my aunt came back, she went to the Zhou family. After so many years, it's time to go and have a look." My cousin continued. Said over the topic.

Tang Xin and her brother had known about their aunt's past for a long time. This was the first time Chen Xi heard about it. It made her sigh, "My aunt's experience is really heartbreaking. Wow, Tang Xin, I feel like it." cry."

Girls in their prime years always yearn for beautiful love, and Chen Xi couldn't help but feel sad after hearing her aunt's story.

"Ordinary people cannot stop the tragedies caused in that era. Don't worry, you will never encounter such a thing in the future." Tang Xin patted Chen Xi on the shoulder. Now that the country is stable and people's lives are stable, there will be no more Tragedy like that happens.

Chen Xi hugged Tang Xin and nodded, thankful that he was born in this peaceful era.

While everyone was talking, Tang's mother came in with her eldest cousin, "Children, we are going out to buy some things for tomorrow. Do you want to go with us?" Tang's mother asked.

"Mom, where are you going? What do you want to buy?" Tang Xin walked up and held Tang's mother's hand and asked.

"Buy some gifts and fruits, but you have to ask your cousin where to go." Tang's mother turned to look at her eldest cousin who came in together.

"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then stop by the roadside market to see if there are any fresh fruits, just in time to bring them tomorrow." Aunt Dabiao answered with a smile, and tidied her daughter Ruoqing's clothes.

"Yes, there is a market today. Cousin, cousin and sister Chen Xi, you can take a look at our market." Ruoqing invited them enthusiastically.

"Okay, we also want to see how the markets in the south are different from those in the north." Tang Xin and Chen Xi looked at each other and said, while Chen Xi kept nodding aside.

As for cousins ​​Zhanbo and Ruoyun, although they were not very interested in the market, they were still a little worried about letting a group of girls go out, so they consciously followed them to carry their things.

I heard from my cousin on the way that the state has not strictly regulated it in the past two years. At the beginning, farmers in the countryside picked their own vegetables and sold them, only a few. Later, it turned out that no one was in charge, so the people who came out to set up stalls also There were more and more people, and soon a small market was formed. Now that time has passed, the stall time has been fixed, and it is very lively every weekend morning.

Tang Xin understood, and so did the capital city. Since the end of the Great Leap Forward, management has become a little looser in the past few years, and vegetable vendors can be seen from time to time in the streets and alleys of the capital city. But this is only temporary. In a few years, it will be time to tighten control again during the Cultural Revolution.

I followed my aunt and cousin through the alleys and followed the flow of people to the lively market. Just like the Beijing market, I heard the lively hustle and bustle before I arrived. The market was spread out along the street, with an ancient market on one side. The street, on the other side is the flowing river. Not only were people coming and going on the land, there were also many small boats in the river, some carrying people and some transporting goods, which was very lively.

Tang Xin and Chen Xi were full of curiosity as they looked at the boats that were coming and going as well as the fresh catches and lake products on the boats.

"Is that a lotus? Is that green one a lotus seed?" Chen Xi pointed and asked, looking at the green lotus pods placed on the boat and the white lotus seeds next to them.

"Yes, those are lotus pods and lotus seeds. You came at the right time. The lotus seeds are delicious now. They are quite fresh here. Let's buy some for you to try." Aunt Cousin answered Chen Xi with a smile, and then Walk over and ask the boatman for the price.

"Thank you, cousin." Chen Xi's face was a little red. She was just curious and didn't really say she wanted to eat.

"It's okay, it's okay. Even if sister Chen Xi didn't say anything, my mother would have bought some. The lotus seeds at this time are fresh and tender. We will also buy some food every year." Ruo Qing smiled and patted Chen Xi, comforting her.

"Ah, is this chicken head rice?" Tang Ma asked, pointing to the white stuff in front of a vendor.

"It's chicken head rice." The vendor stopped what she was doing, and she was peeling chicken head rice on the spot.

"Are you from other places? This chicken head rice is very fresh. Buy some and make a bowl of chicken head rice with sweet-scented osmanthus syrup. It tastes delicious." Although the Mandarin spoken by the seller has a strong local accent, it is almost People still understood.

Tang's mother hadn't eaten chicken head rice for a long time, so she immediately bought some and said she would like to try some when she got home. This is something that needs to be fresh.

A few people walked around in a big circle, bought a bunch of fruits and Jiangnan's unique seasonal side dishes, and went home satisfied.
