There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Yangliutun is located not far from the three-way intersection from the county seat to the provincial capital and Linxian County.

There was a big fair on this day, even people from the provincial capital and Lin County went to the fair. The folks from all over the world brought their own specialties and traded them in the market so that they could buy daily necessities for their families. As for the people in the city, this day is to buy some authentic souvenirs.

It is rumored that in the early years, every household in Yangliutun had handcrafted skills. The baskets and dustpans weaved were so strong that they were so strong that they were accidentally stepped on and flattened, and the elasticity returned to the original. The woven rattan mats have different designs and colors, and are even sold to the capital.

Every time there is a big market in Yangliutun, the woven products in the village are always sold, especially rattan mats are the best sellers.

This year's collection is still the same as in previous years. There are densely packed stalls on both sides of the long dirt road, and you can't see the side at a glance. The ones that are a little more spacious are lined up in two rows, and they can be seen everywhere on the ground, wrapped in pieces of skin, and placed in bamboo baskets, with mountain products such as mushrooms placed on them. The agricultural and sideline products brought by the family also include homemade cloth, insoles and so on.

There are many snack sellers at the intersection, and in front of the popcorn, there is a child standing far away covering his ears. Some elders took their grandchildren to see the sugar maker again.

Everywhere you can see daughters-in-law, big and small, gesturing around the homemade cloth booth. The old ladies held the ten-cent bills in their hands and bargained there. Ladies and gentlemen, walk around and pick and choose. The children were holding on to the corners of the adults' clothes, not forgetting to look at the candy seller and the popcorn seller. Many of them look like people from the city squatting in front of the stalls of mountain products, bacon, game, etc. to bargain.

Zhang Guoqing stopped at a distance. Walking along the crowd, I deliberately went to the stalls selling coarse grains and mountain products. I met a lot of acquaintances, and after saying hello a few times, I hurriedly found a booth and asked.

The seller looks like a veteran. When he knew that he wanted fine grains, he was not in a hurry to say the price, and directly took out a small bag from the broken bamboo basket behind him and handed it to him.

Zhang Guoqing opened it to take a look, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After negotiating the price with the other party and discussing the delivery time. Seeing that it was getting late, after paying the deposit, he hurried to the booth not far away.

The other party may have recognized Zhang Guoqing and watched him come over with a smile all the time.

Before Zhang Guoqing could speak, the young man directly lifted the two big sacks behind him in front of him. I still don't forget to wave to the old man who sells bacon and dried game not far away, and gestures with his hands.

Zhang Guoqing looked at him and couldn't help laughing, What? You gave it to me for nothing?

The young man giggled, seeing the old man coming over with a load, he hurried forward to help, and whispered, Uncle, we will sell them all to Zhang Guoqing from Zhangjia Village.

Hearing that, the old man immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Guoqing, You are Zhang Dayou's youngest son, Zhang Guoqing? Why do you want these?

His nephew didn't wait for Zhang Guoqing to reply, so he hurriedly pulled him, I know you want to give it away. You wrapped up these, how about I count you less?

Zhang Guoqing smiled at him without making a sound. He took a few steps forward to take over the burden of the old man, and chatted with the old man for a few words. I learned that the old man is from the village next door to my uncle's house. The two talked for a few words, after talking about the recent situation of the two uncles. Zhang Guoqing not only wrapped up the wild game at his stall, but also made an appointment to go to his house to buy it in a few days.

It is learned that Zhang Guoqing will help others to purchase, and the quantity is quite large. The young man stammered excitedly, and his face was flushed when he was sent away.

The old man hit him on the head with a pipe, Look at you, you are so stupid. What are you looking for when everyone is gone?

The young man covered his head and muttered dissatisfiedly. That's Zhang Guoqing, a celebrity. If he had taken better care of himself, he could have earned some money to repair the yard years ago.

If they get closer, he will be Zhang Guoqing's brother in the future, who wouldn't look up to him? The cousins ​​of Uncle Zhang Guoqing's family have said that his cousins ​​usually reach out to anyone who is in trouble, and they are very generous. In addition, it is now spread all over the Yue family standing behind Zhang Guoqing, who doesn't want to know him?

Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch, there was still some time. After closing the car door, I plan to go shopping again to see if there is anything interesting and rare, and bring some back to Jiaojiao. Sitting down this confinement, isolated from the world, has already bored her.

Along the way, I really saw a lot of exquisite gadgets. There are capable people everywhere in the folk. In addition to finely crafted bamboo baskets and insoles, there are also wave drums and lifelike wood carvings.

When he walked back, apart from the fur he just bought, the ones on his shoulders, the ones on his body, and the ones he carried in both hands, he was already useless.

In his left hand, he held the big bamboo basket he had just bought, which contained small bamboo baskets, some small bamboo baskets of different sizes, toys for his son, and some miscellaneous fried pine nuts and other roasted seeds and nuts. What is more striking is the right hand, holding high a stick made of sorghum stalks. There are two circles of candied haws on it, and a dozen sugar paintings and sugar figurines are tied on the top.

Relive your childhood and be in a good mood. Ignoring the teasing eyes of pedestrians, Zhang Guoqing cheerfully avoided the crowd, got in the car and drove towards the county.

Jiaojiao, take a look at what this is? Zhang Guoqing went home and moved the bags into the cellar. Carrying the big bamboo baskets and sticks she bought, she hurriedly asked Zhou Jiao to offer her treasures.

Zhou Jiao was busy with her needlework and was just sorting out the presents brought by Zhao Chuanguang and his wife last night. Driving back from Zhang Guoqing, I said hello to her, and saw him moving in and out, and Zhou Jiao was so anxious that she paced in the living room.

This will finally see him coming towards the living room, and see what is slung across his shoulders and held in both hands. Immediately burst out laughing, this image is rare to see in a hundred years.

Zhou Jiao reached out to take the wooden stick, fondling the red candied haws, the lifelike sugar man and several sugar paintings on it. Look at the large and small bamboo baskets and lifelike animal wood carvings he took out from the big bamboo basket. Looking at him excitedly, with anticipation in his eyes.

Zhang Guoqing pointed to the back room, What about my son? You can't go today. Dad and the others will come over after the meeting. The end of the year is approaching, and there will be big fairs every three or six nines. There are plenty of opportunities.

Zhou Jiao nodded helplessly, wondering what did she buy?

Zhang Guoqing talked about the night's transaction enthusiastically. He made an appointment with the stall owner at eight or nine o'clock tonight, and the other party would drive an ox cart to deliver food. He charges as much as he has, and it is acceptable if the price is expensive, at least there is an extra line. Just by looking at the other person, you can tell that this person has a lot of connections.

Zhou Jiao nodded again and again, food is the most important thing. Taking advantage of this meeting in the county seat, it is better to collect some. Now she has more relatives, more people she cares about, and her sense of urgency is even more serious.

Did you tell the other party to be stricter?

That's a shrewd man. I told him that a friend asked for it, and told him to keep quiet. Rest assured and wait for tonight's deal.

And Dad originally planned to go to the neighboring province with Uncle Dashan. Now that the plan has changed, I have explained to you, did you find anyone where to go?

The corners of Zhang Guoqing's lips twitched slightly, and he said softly: Dad told me everything last night. I even gave me the address of Liu Sanyuan's unit, and I have to send something to him. I plan to let my mother take care of my son a few days later and take you with me. Go with Uncle Dashan.

Zhou Jiao looked at him happily. She really wanted to go out for a walk.
