Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1292

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1164: Going to the Market

After sending off the Old Captain and the clan elder uncles, the sky outside was already dark, and the northern wind howled incessantly, once again letting Zhou Jiao experience the chill of those years.

No matter how cold it was, early in the morning when the men and children got up for exercise, she had to brace herself, shrugging her neck forward when the wind hit.

Going from simple to luxurious is easy, but going from luxurious to simple is hard. She shouldn’t have refused Aunt Chen’s help!

This time, she didn’t bring a lot of things back; first, the annual gifts for her in-laws and siblings took up some luggage space, and second, she still preferred bringing tickets and money.

Her in-laws did send them some grain, but since she hadn’t been back for a few years, their stored grains were probably already consumed.

Poor two bags of coarse grains, even if they could eat it, it wouldn’t be enough for almost ten men for a few meals, not to mention she couldn’t bear to let her husband and children suffer.

Especially Ping’an and Liu Yi, they already have a hard time studying in military school, and to follow the trend, they can’t be treated specially. Only when they have a holiday and come home can they be well taken care of.

Buy! Definitely buy! Need to buy big and special big!

After breakfast, Zhou Jiao took out the national food tickets she prepared in advance, the provincial foreign exchange certificates, and money, and handed them to Xiao Zhu, telling him to drive to the provincial city for shopping.

At the same time, he could also take those people back, while her family stayed in the village without going out. Her husband and sons are all experts; didn’t you see they couldn’t even handle a few moves from her son this morning? Besides, these young soldiers want to celebrate the New Year too, why let them watch other families reunite and feel sad.

Later when her three sons sneaked up the mountain, Zhou Jiao didn’t say much. She and Zhang Guoqing, who changed into casual wear, took Mr. Liu and drove to the market.

Her silly sons eager to go hunting in such cold weather didn’t realize the market is where they should be heading now.

The market in their hometown is different from Jingjiao.

Local cotton cloth, shoe pads, headscarves, bamboo baskets, bamboo tubs, kang mats, etc... each is an artwork, highly appreciated for their artistic value.

Once the morning of New Year’s Eve is over, what stalls are left in the market?

As she imagined, the big market today had already restored its grand scene.

Zhou Jiao hadn’t even approached the market, but from getting out of the car, the people she met along the way, most of the young wives had changed into relatively good clothes, and many held coarse cloth-covered baskets in their hands.

Big men carried poles, held burlap sacks, or leisurely strolled while holding small children. All of them wore cheerful and happy smiles, as life became more promising.

If she were at home, Zhou Jiao might not have felt so much, but once out the door, she increasingly felt that the festive atmosphere was more lively than in the city, indescribably so, which made her who didn’t care much a bit excited.

Without the military uniform on, Zhang Guoqing wrapped up like a bear with only half his face showing, freely and happily dragged his wife’s hand, heading towards the target point.

Ordered to change into casual clothes, Xiao Liu could only silently watch the couple’s backs, carrying a bamboo basket closely behind, just worried he might lose them.

Isn’t celebrating the New Year all about having fun?

Zhang Guoqing felt genuinely happy seeing Zhou Jiao relaxed from the bottom of his heart. Without the constraints of Beijing, his wife’s smile became enchanting, making him unable to resist the urge to wrap her tightly with a scarf.

As New Year’s Eve drew closer, the taste of the New Year truly became increasingly rich.

There were stalls on the outskirts of the market, with various Spring Festival couplets, New Year paintings, lanterns hanging on bamboo poles, and all kinds of firecrackers in cardboard boxes on the ground.

Following this stall, a few steps away was the supply and marketing cooperative stall, crowded with customers, most of them young wives and girls.

Zhang Guoqing escorted his wife to avoid them, and after a few steps, his eyes lit up. Guess what? There were nuts and dried fruits for sale.
