Chapter 453 Shopping

Since we had a hearty meal at noon, no one was very hungry at night, so they just cooked some porridge and fried some shredded potatoes.

During the break after the meal, Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi who was untying her hair: "Calculating the time, it is almost September 1st according to the Gregorian calendar. You can make preparations for Yaya and Ling'er in the past two days. When the time comes,

Send them to school."

"Yeah, I know." He said and turned around, "But what should I prepare?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's my first time to go to school. Let's prepare some new clothes first, and then buy a school bag, pencil case and other things."

Cai Yazhi nodded and said, "Then we have to rush to a big gathering. Will you go tomorrow?"

"Go, why don't you go." Zhang Taiping said casually, leaning on the wall at the head of the kang, looking at his wife's graceful figure.

Zhang Taiping slowed down his body and leaned half-relaxedly, but his eyes were always on Cai Yazhi. Although they were an old couple, her body could always show her charm silently, making her look charming without appearing too enchanting.

People are excited.

After the passion, Cai Yazhi quickly fell asleep with a flushed face and satisfaction, but Zhang Taiping was full of energy and clear-headed and could not fall asleep for a while.

Since this was the case, I didn't force myself. I simply put on my clothes, got off the kang and walked towards the orchard.

There is a trickling spring in the orchard, which flows out from a stone cave at the foot of the mountain. The spring water is sweet and refreshing. Zhang Taiping originally wanted to build a swimming pool next to the big osmanthus tree among the lavender to use this spring.

I tried to get there, but the water flowing out of it was too cold. Unless it was a very hot summer and the water could be heated quickly, swimming was not allowed at other times.

At this moment, I went over to prepare to bury the fire gourd I just got inside the spring to see if I could create a hot spring.

All authentic springs have one characteristic, that is, they are warm in winter and cool in summer. Zhang Taiping squatted next to the spring and put his hand into the spring water, and felt a chill spreading down his fingertips to his arms.

I stood up and looked around the spring. It was a spring that appeared in the middle of a protruding stone wall at the foot of the mountain. It looked like a faucet pressed under the mountain with its mouth open and spitting out spring water. The spring was sunk deep into the stone wall.

Among them, only spring water kept flowing out.

He took out a long wooden stick from the space and stretched it into the spring. To his surprise, the two-meter stick was completely inserted without touching the bottom. He didn't know how deep it was.

After thinking about it, I took out the fire gourd and placed it on the mouth of the spring. A large amount of water mist evaporated immediately. I quickly poked the fire gourd in with a stick. In this way, all the spring water flowing out became hot. The temperature was not low and it was steaming.

The bubbles are probably at the temperature of boiling water. Pull out the wooden stick and fill it in with stones one by one. This will not block the flow of water, but can protect the fire gourd inside.

After doing all this, he stood up and took a look. All the spring water left outside had become hot, and steam was steaming everywhere he passed.

The sudden emergence of hot water will definitely surprise everyone tomorrow. Wait until tomorrow to build a swimming pool and then divert the hot spring water there.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Ling, who was the first to go out to practice martial arts, discovered the problem. He ran back in surprise and told the people in the house. Zhang Taiping showed a trace of due surprise, but the others were a little dubious. When they arrived at Chaoguoyuan

Went over to see what was going on.

"How could this happen?" The one who was most surprised was Cai Yazhi. She has lived here for so many years, and this spring is much older than her. It has always been warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is sweet and cold enough to make people drink it.

It was like taking the second sip of spring water. How could it turn into hot water overnight? I really didn’t understand. I looked at Zhang Taiping, hoping he could have an explanation.

Zhang Taiping shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I don't know what's going on."

Cai Xiaomei was as surprised as Cai Yazhi. She squatted next to the spring and took a look, but she didn't see the reason.

Although Fan Ming was a little surprised, she was more happy, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. It is a hot spring like the one in the southeast."

Listening to what Fan Ming said, it seems that there is an explanation. The village is not building a hot spring next to the hot water well. There can be hot water there. It is not incomprehensible that hot water comes out here.

"Brother, hurry up and build a swimming pool." Fan Ming said to Zhang Taiping, "Introduce the hot water here, so you can swim not only in summer, but also in winter. Brother, don't refuse anymore, the pebbles you want have been transported back.

"

Sure enough, still thinking about this matter, Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded and said: "Don't worry, we will build the swimming pool in the next two days."

"Haha, great." Fan Ming laughed.

After hearing the news, Muhongyu nodded in agreement and said, "Building a hot spring is indeed a good idea."

Zhang Taiping said: "Well, the hot water can't escape here. There will be plenty of time to see when we get back. Now we should pack up quickly and get ready for the market."

Yaya and Fan Ming, who had not yet washed their faces and brushed their teeth, hurriedly ran into the house after hearing this.

This time they all passed, and only the old man stayed at home. There were too many people, and it was inconvenient to drive there, so they all took Wang Gui's delivery truck to the city.

When the car drove to the door of Lu Feng's house, Cai Yazhi said, "Wait a minute." After Wang Gui stopped the car, he shouted into the house, "Lv Feng! Let's go!"

"Here we come!" there was a response from inside the room, and then Lu Feng led Tiantian out.

Fortunately, this is the time of year when vegetables are in season, so there aren’t many things in the car, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to seat so many people.

When everyone got off the bus in the town, Wang Gui said to Zhang Taiping: "Call me when you go back and I will come to pick you up."

Zhang Taiping nodded. With so many people there, they would have to trouble Wang Gui once more.

There are few people at the market when the weather is hot. As the weather gradually cools down, there will be more and more people at the market. Especially now that summer is almost over and some green autumn fruits are on the market one after another, there are still many people at the market.

.

Among Zhang Taiping's group of people, he is the only man. The others are all beautiful women. Even the two little girls are particularly eye-catching and attract everyone's attention wherever they go.

Muhongyu was pushed by Fu Hongtao. She rarely went shopping when she lived in the city, so she rarely walked in front of so many people. It was very novel for her to play in a market with a strong farm style like now, just like everyone else.

All eyes were ignored by her strong mentality.

Although there are so many beautiful women, no one comes to harass them. One is that there are not many gangsters in this small town, and some of them do small things like sneaking around and molesting women in broad daylight.

The only man, Zhang Taiping, was too tough. If he wanted to come forward, he had to check whether his thighs could hold up the other person's arms.

Fan Ming has a special liking for candied haws. Every time she goes to the market, she will buy a few bunches and savor them slowly.

Stopping in front of a vendor selling candied haws, Fan Ming asked Zhang Taiping, "Brother, do you want it?" Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "You can buy it for you, I'll forget it."

Cai Yazhi also quickly shook her head. She was still shameless enough to eat candied haws like a little girl on the street in front of everyone. Xing Rushui, Lu Feng and Fu Hongtao also shook their heads.

Fan Ming did not insist, but they counted the remaining people and bought seven strings, including Wukong, and then bought an extra string for herself.

Standing on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, Xiao Xi saw that everyone else was eating but she was not. She chirped anxiously a few times. Fan Ming picked an orange from her own bunch and fed it to it to quiet it down.

When it comes down, its little belly can only eat so much.

After walking a short distance, a group of little kids followed them noisily. Their upright innocence was not attracted to the beauty, but to Wukong who was wearing Fan Ming's characteristic tiger-print vest.

"Look! Sun Wukong!" a child shouted loudly.

"Haha, Sun Wukong is still eating candied haws!" Another child said with a laugh.

A little girl next to her held the adult's hand and said, "My mother said that was not Sun Wukong, it was just a monkey wearing a dress."

Originally, Wukong was going to be holding a stick when he came out, but Zhang Taiping took it out of his hand. It's okay to play at home, but if you meet someone on the street and get interested, you can knock them on the head a few times. That's a joke.

But it’s time to open Dafa.

"He doesn't have a golden cudgel in his hand!" the little girl said with her chin raised.

The group of little kids following behind looked at Wukong who was concentrating on eating candied haws, and sure enough they saw that there was no golden hoop in his hand. They all scratched their heads for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

Suddenly a child shouted in surprise: "I've just arrived!"

The other little dolls turned to look at him and asked, "What do you know?"

The little baby who shouted just now said proudly: "It has turned the golden hoop into an embroidery needle and hid it in its ear."

"Yes! Yes! That's it!" The children next to him agreed.

The little girl didn't know how to fight back and looked at her mother.

The little girl's mother smiled without saying anything and pulled the girl away. She could handle the dispute between the children with just two tactics. If she said more, it would appear that she was competing with a group of children.

.

Zhang Taiping's smart ears could still hear the conversation between mother and daughter who were gradually walking away.

The little girl asked: "Mom, does that monkey have a golden hoop that turns into an embroidery needle inside the ear?"

Mom replied: "Think about it, can an embroidery needle be placed in the ear?"

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "No, but that's how it was played on TV."

"Haven't I told you many times that you can't believe everything on TV, you have to believe it selectively."

The little girl said happily: "That means there is no more?"

Mom nodded: "Yeah."

Zhang Taiping shook his head when he heard this. Everyone has his own way of life, and parents also have their own way of educating their children. Although I don't know why this mother has to educate her children so realistically when her children are so young, Zhang Taiping

I would rather have Yaya at this age

Immerse yourself in fairy tales more. The way a mother educates her children can certainly make them smart quickly, but it is not a kind of trickery. Rather than becoming a wise monster or a successful great man, Zhang Taiping hopes that his children will become smarter quickly.

Can live happily and carefree.

After the little dolls following behind made trouble for a while, one of them finally threw the green apple in his hand towards Wukong.

The apple rolled down at Wukong's feet. After looking at it with disdain, Wukong instead of picking it up and thanking him, he bared his teeth and roared at the little kid who threw the apple. Wukong is different from those who were polished in the zoo.

The wild and spiritual monkey, which has developed its own dignity after living in Zhang Taiping's house for so long, will never accept such food, and even considers it an insult.

"Okay, he also means well." Zhang Taiping patted Wukong to calm him down, otherwise it would be bad if he jumped over and scratched the child's face in anger.

However, after experiencing this incident, the little kids saw Wukong's fierce appearance. This kind of grinning teeth may not be a deterrent to adults, but it is still a great deterrent to the little kids. No little kid will follow him anymore.

Come up.

Zhang Taiping only heard a child saying from a distance: "This is not Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong is not like this." Then a group of little children dispersed in a hurry.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

Fan Ming looked at his face strangely and asked, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "Nothing."

Fan Ming did not argue too much about this matter, and focused his attention on the stalls or shops on both sides of the road. Although these things were not precious, they were more novel than anything else. Even after visiting a few times, they were still a bit dazzling.

Today's protagonists are three little girls. Tiantian is the same age as Yaya. At this age, in rural areas, there is no need to go to school. Since Zhang Taiping is going to send Yaya to school, Lu Feng also sends Tiantian to school.

Inside, they mainly bought new clothes and school bags and stationery for them and Ye Ling.

When buying stationery, Zhang Taiping bought several fairy tale books for Yaya and Tiantian and also bought a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This book was intended to be taken back to Wang Shunyou's son.

After the next conversation, the little boy who liked to read went to Zhang Taiping's house to pick up a book, but inside the house

It was either a fruit tree or a recipe book. There really was no book for him, so I bought a copy of The Three Kingdoms as a gift for him this time. For an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, Zhang Taiping thought that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was a good book to improve his mind.

The best book. If there is a motivated child in the village, he will never be stingy with the small amount of money for such a book.

After that, I bought clothes for each of the three people at a street stall or a clothes shop. Since I rarely bought clothes for Ye Ling before, and she would not take the initiative to ask for such things, I bought them for her directly this time.

Two sets.

By the time the goods were sold out, it was already afternoon, and Zhang Taiping's body was already covered with bags of all sizes.

I had called Wang Gui before I had estimated the time, so I waited on the street for a short time before the truck arrived.
