After entering the market, the group found that there were really a lot of people in the market. Not only were there various business people doing business, people buying things, but there were also many people from all over the country who came here to perform.
There were people walking on stilts on the street, people wearing costumes, and even people performing with boats on their bodies.
At this time, Feng Ruoruo found that there were so many people on the street and it was so lively. She was so short that she couldn't see what she wanted to see at all. The little girl pulled her father hard.
"Dad, dad, Ruoruo can't see it."
He said this at the beginning, but Feng Yifan couldn't hear it clearly because of the noisy crowd on the street.
Feng Ruoruo saw that her father didn't hear clearly, so she tried to shout again: "Dad, Ruoruo can't see."
This time Feng Yifan heard it clearly, and first said to his wife: "You push Dad."
Su Ruoxi naturally took her father's wheelchair from her husband, and then reminded her husband: "You have to be careful, don't let Ruo fall."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Don't worry, how could I possibly drop my precious daughter?"
Then, Feng Yifan picked up his daughter and placed her directly on his shoulders.
Feng Ruoruo sat on her father's shoulders and held her father's head with her little hands. In this way, the little girl could see far away and see the people performing on the street.
The little girl said happily: "Yeah, I can see everything. Mom, Grandpa, Great Grandma, Uncle Yue, Brother Haohao, look at me. I'm sitting on Dad's shoulders and can see everything."
Hearing Feng Ruoruo's shout, everyone turned their heads to look over.
It was surprising to see Feng Yifan carrying his daughter on his shoulders. His strong and broad shoulders allowed his daughter to sit on them, and then he raised his arms to support his daughter.
Aunt Niu was the first to exclaim: "Hey, Yifan, be careful, don't let Ruoruo fall."
Yue Qihao continued, "Uncle Yifan is so amazing. He can hold up sister Ruoruo with just one shoulder."
After saying this, Yue Qihao turned his head and looked at his father.
Yue Qingsong noticed his son's gaze, reached out and rubbed his son's head and said, "Don't look at your dad like that. I definitely don't have the strength to carry you. You are much heavier than your sister. You are already a big child, and there is no need to carry you like this. Can't you see it yourself?"
Yue Qihao pouted and responded: "But Dad, you didn't carry me like this when I was a child?"
Yue Qingsong gently patted his son on the back of his head: "You are just talking nonsense here. Didn't your father carry you on his back when you were a child? You even peed on your father's neck."
Hearing this, Yue Qihao felt very embarrassed.
"No, Dad, you're talking nonsense."
Feng Ruoruo heard it, turned around on her father's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Haohao, you are still peeing on Uncle Yue's neck, you are so shameless."
Su Ruoxi reached out and patted her daughter, saying, "You can't say that. What about peeing or not peeing? Aren't you ashamed to say that as a little girl? Don't say that."
Feng Ruoruo immediately agreed with a smile: "Okay, Ruoruo won't tell me."
But when Yue Qihao heard this, he became very dissatisfied. He reached out and punched his father, then turned his head away and refused to pay attention to his father.
Yue Qingsong saw that his son was unhappy, so he reached out and hugged him: "Okay, okay, Daddy was just joking with you, don't be angry, there are sesame candy cakes for sale in front, Daddy will buy some for you and your sister, okay? Do you want to eat some?"
Yue Qihao was still unhappy and tried hard to break free from his father's arms.
But Feng Ruoruo, who was sitting on her father's shoulder, couldn't wait any longer: "I want to eat, let's go buy some."
Su Ruoxi turned to Yue Qihao and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Let's go buy some delicious food with my sister and ignore your father."
Yue Qihao took the opportunity to break free from his father's arms, and then quickly ran to Feng Yifan's side.
"Humph, I'm not going with my dad. I want to go with Uncle Yifan and my sister."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Yes, you go with your uncle and sister."
Yue Qingsong was watching from behind with a smile on his face, and he didn't mind that his son was unwilling to go with him.
The group walked through the crowd. People who were walking on stilts and singing opera on the street saw Feng Ruoruo sitting on her father's shoulders. Some people deliberately surrounded Feng Yifan, circled around Feng Ruoruo, teased the little girl sitting on her father's shoulders, and gave her some small gifts.
Feng Ruoruo was very happy when she received the gift and she thanked the person with a smile.
"Thank you."
Of course, Feng Ruoruo did not enjoy the gifts alone. She also gave some of the gifts to her brother Haohao who was next to her father.
"Brother Haohao, these two are for you. Ruoruo also has two, and Brother Haohao also has two. We each have two."
After Yue Qihao took it, he quickly smiled and thanked: "Thank you, sister."
The group of people walking on stilts, paddling on land boats and singing operas walked out and came to a stall in the market that specialized in making handmade sesame candy cakes.
Yue Qingsong quickly stepped forward and bought two pieces specifically for Feng Ruoruo and his son.
"I want fresh ones. Don't give me those that have been stored for a long time."
The person selling the sugar cakes also said helplessly: "They are all freshly made. These were also made not long ago."
Yue Qingsong insisted: "No, you have to make the freshest food for the children."
The man selling the sugar cakes had no choice but to quickly make fresh ones for the two children.
In fact, sesame sugar cakes are just ordinary pancakes filled with brown sugar and sesame seeds. They are baked until both sides are golden brown, then brushed with a layer of oil, and finally some sesame seeds are stuck on the surface.
In this way, a freshly baked pancake will be very fragrant.
The boss baked the pancake, wrapped it in brown oil paper, collected the money and handed it to Yue Qingsong.
Yue Qingsong handed one to Feng Ruoruo and the other to his son Yue Qihao.
Feng Ruoruo took it. Because it was freshly branded, it was still a little hot: "Oh, Dad, this is hot."
Feng Yifan reached out to catch the sesame candy cookie that his daughter almost threw away because it was too hot.
Then he blew on his daughter carefully and said, "If it's hot, Dad will blow on Ruoruo first, and then Ruoruo can eat it later, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo nodded happily: "Okay, Dad, please blow it quickly."
And Yue Qihao has already taken the first bite.
"Ouch, it's hot. It's really hot."
Seeing this, Yue Qingsong smiled and said, "Can't you take it a little slower? No one is trying to snatch it from you. Look at yourself, can't you be like your sister and wait until it cools down before eating?"
Yue Qihao slowly ate the bite he had just taken and said seriously, "You have to eat this while it's hot, otherwise it won't be fragrant."
Feng Yifan had already cooled the water down a bit, and then he held it up and said to his daughter, "Come on, Ruoruo, take a small bite and try it too."
Feng Ruoruo first touched it with her little hand, and after making sure it was not too hot, the little girl carefully took a small bite.
Although it was just a small bite, but when you bite it, some hot steam still spurted out, and along with the sesame syrup inside, it was still quite hot.
Fortunately, Feng Ruoruo was very careful and did not get burned by the sesame syrup after biting it open.
After carefully taking a small bite, Feng Ruoruo exclaimed, "Wow, Dad, this cake is delicious. It's really delicious, sweet and fragrant."
Seeing her daughter eating, Su Ruoxi took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her daughter's mouth. She also asked her daughter to hold the cake properly: "You have to hold it like this, the stuff inside will flow out, don't let it flow out and burn Daddy."
After Feng Ruoruo heard what her mother said, she also discovered that the filling in the pancake would flow, so the little girl quickly and carefully lifted it up.
Feng Yifan also took out a handkerchief from his pocket, handed it to his daughter and wrapped it around the brown oil paper.
"Wrap it like this, so it won't flow onto daddy, and it won't be too hot. Ruoruo can eat it slowly, but Ruoruo must be careful and blow on it before eating, so as not to burn yourself."
Feng Ruoruo agreed and said, "Okay, okay, Ruoruo knows."
The little girl was very smart. She knew that she had to blow on the cake to cool it down carefully before eating it. Then she would eat it in small bites, blowing on it in the middle and drinking a sip of the sesame syrup inside the cake.
Feng Ruoruo felt that this small piece of sesame sugar cake was really delicious.
Of course, in addition to sesame sugar cakes, there are other delicious snacks at the market.
For example, there are fried tofu, bean curd with chicken sauce skewered in chicken soup, and some sesame crisps made from sesame seeds by some country folks.
While strolling around the town market, Feng Ruoruo's little mouth was not idle at all, and the whole time she was eating.
Feng Ruoruo also wore a hand-woven straw hat on her little head to block the sunlight.
It was really fun for the group to walk, play and eat at the same time.
Su Jinrong was smiling from ear to ear the whole way.
After leaving the market, Su Jinrong said, "Well, the market in town is really good. I saw a lot of things that can only be found in the countryside. Yifan, it looks like we can purchase some things from here in the future. It should be no different. They are all original."
Without waiting for Feng Yifan to speak, Yue Qingsong said, "That's right, Uncle Rong. Many things from our surrounding villages are gathered in this market in town, so if you want to purchase, you can definitely buy authentic things here. The chickens, ducks, fish and meat sold here are all absolutely fresh."
Su Jinrong nodded: "I saw it too. The chickens and ducks are very fresh. They should be free-range. The pigs should also be raised at home. The most important thing is the fish and shrimp. They look very fresh. They are really pleasing to the eye."
Niu Mudan smiled and said, "Brother Su, if you need it, I'll ask Qingsong to buy it for you from here."
Su Jinrong turned to Niu Mudan and said, "Old sister, how can you let Qingsong deliver it specially?"
Niu Mudan smiled and said, "Why should I be embarrassed? Qingsong has to deliver the goods anyway, so I'll send you these original ingredients from our countryside, which will definitely help your restaurant business better."
Yue Qingsong also expressed his opinion: "Yes, yes, I will deliver it to you. Then the restaurant will definitely be more popular."
Feng Yifan smiled and said to his friend: "Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Yue Qingsong smiled and said, "It's not a big deal."
Then Yue Qingsong hesitated and said, "However, I can deliver the goods, but if you want to buy them, you may need to do it yourself, right?"
Feng Yifan waved his hand and said, "There's no need to bother with this. We can take some time to come here and discuss with them. We'll ask them to prepare the freshest food every time. Just make sure it's fresh. The environment in our area is so good now, so the quality of these free-range products must be good."
Feng Yifan was indeed right about this. In recent years, towns and villages have paid great attention to environmental governance.
Therefore, the environment in the surrounding areas of his hometown has been greatly improved.
Therefore, the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and other animals in the countryside are basically raised at home. They are all truly original and their quality is not inferior to some foreign ingredients.
After taking a look around the market today, Su Jinrong and Feng Yifan, the father-in-law and son-in-law, came up with some new ideas.
That is, vegetables, some poultry, livestock, and some fish and shrimp are purchased from the township. The ingredients that are lacking here can be purchased from the market. This can also become a major feature of Su Ji in the future. Organic vegetables and original ecological poultry, livestock and river fish.
The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other and smiled at each other tacitly.
After visiting the market, a group of people, led by Yue Qingsong, came to where Yue Yibai now lives in the town.
Completely different from the market, the area where Yue Yibai lives is obviously much dirtier and messier.
Just by stepping into this area, you can feel a sense of desolation.
After entering, Yue Qingsong explained, "This is the old town area that is going to be rebuilt. Do you remember our old school? It was right in front, but now the school has moved to the new campus. This area has been abandoned for a long time. Because the relocation has not been completed, there is no way to renovate it."
Feng Yifan was actually not unfamiliar with this area, as this was where he used to go to school.
During their high school years, he and Yue Qingsong passed by this area almost every day.
At that time, this area was very prosperous because of the school. Now the prosperity has disappeared, and all that is left is a group of abandoned bungalows.
“How come the relocation wasn’t completed?”
Aunt Niu said, "Isn't it because many elderly people here don't want to leave? Yifan, don't you understand the elderly in the countryside? They all believe that one cannot leave their hometown. Even if they die, they must die in their old house. That's why the elderly don't want to move away."
Hearing this, Feng Yifan and others remained silent. This situation actually exists in many rural construction projects.
Feng Yifan was silent for a while and then asked, "Why would Yibai live in a place like this?"
Aunt Niu was a little annoyed, but before she could lose her temper, Yue Qingsong took the lead to explain: "Isn't it that the girl's family who lives here? The girl said that she was working outside to earn money, but after she came back, she didn't move her parents out. Anyway, I think that the girl's words can't be trusted completely."
Feng Yifan looked at Aunt Niu's face and consoled her: "Auntie, please don't be angry. When we meet, we should talk it over. Don't get angry right away."
Su Jinrong also said, "Yes, don't get angry, let's talk slowly, slowly."
As he was speaking, Yue Qihao suddenly called out, "Uncle."
Everyone in the group immediately turned their heads to look forward, and saw Yue Yibai carrying two large bags and another large bag on his back, walking out of an alley on the side of the road with a young girl.
