Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 927: Chapter 927: Going to the Market

The needlework of both of them was quite good. Although they were chatting, their hands moved very quickly.

The market-goers had already arrived in the township, and the journey took about an hour. They walked and stopped frequently, accompanied by many little companions, so it didn’t feel too tiring.

”Li Xue, don’t you usually go to the market?”

”I used to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, the big building, and rarely went to the market. I don’t know what they sell there?”

”I don’t know either, but I brought a lot of money anyway,” Jing Chu said with a smile.

At this moment, Guodong and Chaoyang walked over to the two sisters. Chaoyang was dazzled by Jing Chu’s smile, but he wisely gathered his thoughts.

”Don’t walk too fast in the crowd, you two.”

”Got it, brother. Why are there so many people?”

”People from miles around come to the market, of course, there are many people. Maybe we’ll run into someone from our village.”

”Brother, if we really get separated, don’t worry, we’ll just wait for you here.”

”Okay, try not to get separated.” Jing Chu couldn’t wait and held Li Xue’s hand, rushing into the crowd. She didn’t notice that someone was watching her from not far away, and moved closer to her as she entered the crowd.

The people behind him immediately followed. They thought that the commander was really impulsive today. If Li Yungui were here, he would certainly know this was Yang Zhongyi.

The two girls squeezed into the crowd and were disappointed; there were more market-goers than sellers.

However, the two blossoming girls caught the attention of many people.

The older ones wondered whose daughters they were, looking so good. Considering their attire, it’s clear their family must be well-off.

The young lads bashfully stole glances at them, their faces turning red. The bold ones approached them, but seeing two good-looking young men beside them, couldn’t get close.

The other girls envied their attire, especially their hats. Some bold ones directly asked.

”Comrade, did you buy these hats?”

Jing Chu smiled, ”No, we made them ourselves. It’s quite simple, actually.” Jing Chu explained how to start knitting.

This won the girls’ favor. In fact, they couldn’t be envious of others. If the gap wasn’t too wide, there would be jealousy. But they couldn’t compare, so how to be jealous? That would be uncomfortable for themselves.

The crowd grew larger around them. Lv Jingchu felt a bit embarrassed, ”That’s it, you can try it slowly at home.” After finishing, she pulled Li Xue and they squeezed into the crowd.

Guodong sighed, closely following his sister, truly a handful.

Previously, while Jing Chu spoke, Yang Zhongyi listened from the side. This young girl wasn’t just pretty, she had a really pleasant voice. Crisp and melodious.

He smiled and continued to follow. He found this young girl interesting. Though she seemed young, he could wait, as he couldn’t leave here these years anyway.

Jing Chu pulled Li Xue and squatted in front of an old man’s handicraft stall.

There were tiger head shoes, tiger head hats, and pillows for children. They looked particularly cute.

”Ma’am, how much is this hat?”

”One yuan fifty per hat, or two yuan if bundled with shoes.”

”And those pillows?” Jing Chu fiddled with the children’s pillows, which had magpie designs, looking festive.

”Wow, there are little belly wraps too. So cute, Ma’am, how much is this?”

”One yuan. It takes a lot of time and thread. The design includes five poisons, see the bats, it’s the most labor-intensive.”

Jing Chu picked it up, unable to put it down.

”Ma’am, give me three sets, one of each kind.”

”Okay, since you’re buying so much, I’ll give you two handkerchiefs. I embroidered them myself, you can choose.”

”Jing Chu, why are you buying so much?” Li Xue asked, dumbfounded. Do people buy like this?

”One for each of Aunt Jiang’s younger siblings. Sister Xiaoli’s child is also coming soon, can be used by then.”

It seems she had thought it through.

”Li Xue’er, you pick a handkerchief, one for each of us.”

”I already have a handkerchief.”

”Take it, I’ll give it to you.”

Li Xue thought for a moment and squatted down too; the two girls picked handkerchiefs.

The old lady wrapped what Jing Chu wanted in an old cloth. She hadn’t sold even one before, unexpectedly sold so many today?

Jing Chu paid and handed it to her brother. They continued strolling.

”Li Xue, look, they’re selling steamers, I want to buy two, always not enough for dumplings.”

Yang Zhongyi followed with a smile. So the girl’s name was Jing Chu. What a nice name, as beautiful as she is.

Guodong sensed something, turned around, and saw the smiling Yang Zhongyi. He felt this person wasn’t good. It seemed he had been following them all along.

Yang Zhongyi smiled; this boy must be the little girl’s relative, they looked sixty percent alike. So he smiled friendly.

Guodong turned around expressionlessly. This person had been following them all along.

This made him even more nervous. He closely followed behind Jing Chu.

He took the three steamers his sister gave him and put them in the frame on his back.

The Red Army had long been anxious, feeling Sister Jing Chu and the elder sister were too slow.

Guodong had also noticed. ”Chaoyang, take them to play, I’ll follow the two.”

”No need, let them play by themselves, we’ll gather at the entrance later.”

Chaoyang turned and instructed the four younger brothers. They mustn’t get lost. ”Red Army, you’re the oldest, make sure to watch them; there might be bad guys, and if they’re kidnapped, nowhere to find.”

The three younger ones immediately promised they wouldn’t leave the Red Army. Only then did Chaoyang let them leave.

Jing Chu felt a bit embarrassed on the side. Knowing whatever she said, they wouldn’t listen. They had to hurry to make a round and go home, to avoid trouble.

”Brother, there are red beans for sale, let’s buy them, I want to eat bean buns.”

”Okay, we’ll buy them all, not much anyway.”

Chaoyang nudged his friend on the side, this guy really listens to his sister’s every word.

Guodong smiled, the two coming here young, his sister had always been unhappy. Since Aunt Jiang came, it got much better. He would make sure she was happy.

There was a total of thirty jin of red beans, particularly clean.

”Little girl, these are grown in my private plot. If not for knowing many people today, I wouldn’t dare to sell them here. If you want them all, it’s one yuan thirty per jin, only three cents more expensive than selling to the grain station, definitely worth it.”

”Okay, I’ll take them all, though I don’t know how heavy it is?”

”Including the sack, it’s a total of thirty jin and three liang. The sack is only three liang, so exactly thirty jin.”
