Chapter 112 Visiting the Market

The female educated youth were responsible for clearing the snow on the ground and clearing the way outside the educated youth courtyard.

Male educated youths were responsible for pounding the snow off the roof.

With division of labor and cooperation, everyone is busy and orderly.

After finishing their work, they went back to their houses to warm up.

Wen Xin returned to the room and looked around, feeling a little bored.

I flipped through the textbook and couldn't stand it anymore.

I had to dig out the wool I bought earlier and planned to knit a sweater or scarf.

When she was in modern times, she had been obsessed with knitting for a while, and she even made herself a scarf at that time.

Just as she picked up the needle, Wen Xin put down her hand dejectedly and forgot about it.

I had no choice but to knock on the door and go out, intending to ask Zhao Wanqing if he could.

"Wanqing, are you there?" Wen Xin knocked on the door and asked.

Zhao Wanqing opened the door and said, "Xinxin, come in quickly."

Wen Xin walked in and said, "Wanqing, I just want to ask you if you know how to knit a sweater or a scarf. I really can't."

Zhao Wanqing's eyes lit up for a moment and then dimmed, "Neither can I."

Both were frustrated.

Wen Xin went to ask Wang Yumei again, "Sister Yumei, can you knit sweaters or scarves?"

Wang Yumei said, "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing were both excited, "Can you teach us?"

Zhang Yingying also joined in the fun, "I want to learn too, I want to learn too."

Wang Yumei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, let's go together. You go back and get the wool and needles."

Wen Xin went back and brought some snacks, including chestnuts and hazelnuts she made herself, as well as potato slices and taro slices from the supermarket, which she put on a plate.

When they arrived at Wang Yumei's room, they saw that Zhao Wanqing had also brought small cakes and apples.

Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei also made fruit tea.

Wen thought to himself, everyone is really on the same page.

Everything was ready, and the three of them followed Wang Yumei's movements bit by bit, step by step.

The first thing I learned was how to knit a scarf, which is simpler than a sweater after all.

Seeing that they were almost familiar with it, Wang Yumei said, "Just knit like this. When the length is almost the same, I will tell you the finishing weaving method."

Wen Xin's movements were really slow. She had no choice but to be unskilled so that she wouldn't make any mistakes.

Zhang Yingying rarely sat there quietly, her hand movements became more and more skillful, and her smile became bigger and bigger.

Zhao Wanqing studied very carefully. She wanted to knit one for both her parents.

Wang Yumei watched the movements of the three people and gave some guidance from time to time.

After an hour passed, they all stopped in unison.

Wen Xin rubbed her eyes and hands, stretched, and said, "I'm so tired. I need to take a rest."

Zhao Wanqing and Zhang Yingying also stopped moving.

Wang Yumei took advantage of the situation and said, "Come, take a rest, drink some tea and eat something."

The four of them sat down, ate, drank, and chatted.

"Well, this fruit tea is delicious." Zhang Yingying said.

"Yes, Xinxin, I want to change a little more." Wang Yumei added.

"Okay, I made a lot of them before." Wen Xin said while eating.

Zhao Wanqing said, "There seems to be a market here the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

Zhang Yingying was the first to respond, "Go, of course."

Wen Xin asked, "Where is the market?"

Zhao Wanqing said, "I heard it is at the junction with the next village, and there is an open space there."

Wang Yumei said, "That should be the last market of the year. We have to go buy something."

Several people made an appointment and planned to go.

On that day, Wen Xin got up early to wash up and tidy up.

I packed my backpack, put on thick clothes, scarf and gloves and set off.

Almost the entire Educated Youth Academy went.

Also, there are many things in the market, they are not expensive, there is no danger, and they are very cost-effective.

On the way there, I met many villagers, some of whom had already returned.

Wen Xin said, "They all left so early."

"Yeah, I thought we were early enough." Zhao Wanqing sighed.

After arriving at the place, Wen Xin discovered that the earlier open space was divided into two halves. The middle was a place for people shopping, and the vendors were on both sides, not far apart.

It looks very similar to the market in Wen Xin's old hometown.

The four people plan to act separately. After all, they need different things, so they won't be tied together.

Wen Xin started walking around one by one.

Halfway through the shopping, I bought a lot of snacks, such as beef tongue cakes, peach cakes, and twists, etc. I also bought a large piece of tofu and raw soy milk.

At the next stall, I saw a lot of frozen pears and persimmons, and most of the people who bought them were buying more than ten kilograms.

Wen Xin looked outside for a while, but she didn't understand what criteria they were selected according to.

While she was struggling outside, a man patted her on the shoulder.

Wen Xin looked back and saw that it was the captain's wife.

"Auntie, you are also here to go to the market."

The captain's wife said, "Yes. Just call me Aunt Huaihua."

Wen Xin replied, "Aunt Sophora japonica."

"Hey, do you want to buy frozen pears?" Aunt Huaihua asked.

Wen Xin said distressedly, "Yes, I want to buy it, but I don't know how to choose."

Aunt Huaihua waved her hand casually and said, "Come on, I'll teach you how to choose. Make sure it's sweet and fragrant."

After saying that, he took Wen Xin to the stall, pointed to the frozen pear in front of him and said, "Look at this kind, it's sweet, moist and big, so it must be delicious. This one won't work, it's wilted."

Following her aunt's kind guidance, Wen Xin bought two large bags of frozen pears and one bag of persimmons.

Wen Xin said gratefully, "Aunt Huaihua, thank you very much for today."

Aunt Huaihua smiled and waved her hand, "Don't be so polite. You must have never eaten this before. I just thought you wouldn't be picky. It's just a matter of convenience."

After speaking, he left.

Wen Xin weighed the basket and felt it was almost enough. If she couldn't carry any more, she planned to find a place to wait for others.

Wen Xin found a big rock, put her backpack on the ground, and sat on it to rest.

Not long after, Zhang Yingying came out first.

When I saw Wen Xin when I came out, I rushed over, "Xinxin, have you finished shopping?"

Wen Xin nodded, "Yes, we've almost finished the shopping. Are you feeling well too?"

Zhang Yingying nodded, "I'm feeling better too. Try it quickly. The sticky bean buns I bought are still warm."

With that said, he handed the sticky bean bun into Wen Xin's hand.

Wen Xin took it and tasted it, exclaiming, "It's delicious."

Zhang Yingying raised her head proudly and said, "It's delicious."

Wen Xin nodded, "We can ask Aunt Guihua how to make sticky bean buns, and we can make some ourselves."

Zhang Yingying strongly agreed, "No problem."

Zhang Yingying put the remaining sticky bean buns in her arms to prevent them from getting cold. She also wanted to give Sister Yumei and Wanqing a taste.

Before long, Wang Yumei and Zhao Wanqing also came over carrying baskets on their backs.

Putting down their things, the two of them rubbed their shoulders.
