1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 233 Taking Little October to Dongfeng Market [Please subscribe]

Several days of rainy days have washed away this ancient city full of new opportunities.

Luo Tao's family has been a bit moldy at home these past few days.

Luo Shaoyi now has no official position. In the days after he resigned, he was really not used to staying at home all day with nothing to do. Fortunately, he still had some small hobbies of his own, such as raising grasshoppers and growing vegetables.

Now is the time for the Grasshopper's "summer call". During the hot summer period, the drier and hotter the weather, the louder the call, and the call appears rapid and continuous.

Grasshoppers that naturally grow in mountains and forests or in fields generally grow and die in spring and autumn. They begin to wither and die during the white dew, and almost all die during the frost.

If it is artificially raised, its life will be extended, but it cannot escape the laws of nature. Life and death are inevitable.

However, with regard to the reproduction of grasshoppers, almost any insect handle method with some skills can now produce new generations in all seasons.

Luo Shaoyi is busy with this matter now, and occasionally pays attention to the changes in the vegetable fields in the east courtyard.

The cucumbers and eggplants I planted are now in harvest season, and the peppers hanging all over them are also on the dining table these days.

The cucumber Su Guilan alone was planted twice, in spring and autumn.

It was really because she loved her grandson Xiao October so much that she planted a crop of spring cucumbers last year, and most of the fruits went into Xiao October's belly.

Seeing that her grandson loves to eat so much, Su Guilan said that this year she would allow him to eat everything comfortably, and she was disqualified from growing other vegetables.

"Good guy, sit here and start eating again."

Yes, it was just sunny today. It was noon, and the little guy was holding a bunch of long, unformed gherkins and started to eat them.

"Grandma picked it for me before she left. I didn't go there secretly."

After seeing Luo Tao, the little guy reacted quickly. The little hand holding the cucumber was quickly clasped behind his back. His big eyes revealed that this matter had nothing to do with him.

He was still chewing it in his mouth, making crunchy sounds from time to time.

"I didn't say you stole it. Dad just wanted to ask if it tastes good."

Luo Tao saw the enjoyment on his face and his mouth was a little greedy, so he inquired a little bit.

This kid didn't know what to be wary of kissing me, so he just nodded his head without saying anything.

Then he turned around and secretly ate the few remaining cucumber segments.

Luo Tao looked at him sitting on the small stool. This son has no eyesight at all. Can't he see that your father also wants to eat?
"Four-year-old Rong can make pears, and Xiang Jiuling can warm seats."

Now it seems that these good things need to be taught to him properly.

Luo Tao then walked to the vegetable field in the east courtyard, and Xiao Shiyue was also unambiguous and followed behind.

Luo Tao noticed it as soon as he got up and followed him. Without telling him, he walked to the cucumber shelf and turned over the leaves to find the most suitable cucumber to eat.

Fortunately, the autumn cucumber season has just begun, and there are a lot of fruits here, so I picked two easily.

"You kid, stop falling over. Look at the mud on your feet. You deserve a beating! Hurry." Luo Tao held the two cucumbers in his hands, freeing his hands to carry him out.

"Hey, what's wrong? Is this Sister He?"

Arriving in front of the Orchid Pavilion, I was about to turn around and go through the small door into the Baihua Courtyard when I met the panicked Sister He.

"Ouch! I was scared to death. As soon as I came out of the kitchen, I saw that Little October was gone, and I wondered if I had come to the vegetable garden again."

Sister He was in shock, gasping for air and patting her chest.

"I looked at him, it's okay, you are busy with your work." Luo Tao is still very satisfied with this Sister He. Through this period of understanding and contact, he feels that she is really good, honest, kind, diligent, clean, and One is that he has strong learning ability.

As a country woman born in a poor land in Yuzhou, it took her a while to learn how to use gas for cooking and some new household appliances, only two or three months!She has become proficient in using it.

Another thing is to be familiar with the Sijiu City, which extends in all directions and is full of alleys.

She is working very hard to overcome these problems. Luo Tao admires her very much, but he is not satisfied at all because her thinking is too old-fashioned.

Luo Tao had told her many times during this period that everyone could sit together and eat together during the meal, which would be lively, so there was no need to stand aside.

She also changed a bit about this matter. After eating two meals together, she couldn't let go. Afterwards, she had to let her do as she pleased, but she couldn't let this delay her from having a full meal.

"Hey, I have one more dish to eat." She turned around and ran back to the kitchen to continue her work.

Taking care of food and shelter this month, 30 yuan is not a loss.

Xu Le and Luo Shaoyi went to Lanting Study Studio early in the morning to prepare for the next decoration.

After lunch, in the afternoon, Luo Shaoyi, Su Guilan, and Sister He were busy uncovering the brick floor in the backyard and in front of the gate, preparing to grow vegetables.

Luo Tao and Xu Le took Little October to visit Dongfeng Market.

Dongfeng Market is located on Wangfujing Street. It is a major contributor to Wangfujing Commercial Street. It was first used by Wu Sangui Pingxi Palace, and later became the training ground for the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The old Dong'an Market was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1969, it was renamed Dongfeng Market, and in 1988, it was renamed Dong'an Market.

Luo Tao held Little October, and Xu Le followed behind with a bag. They entered through the west gate.

There is a row of shade trees outside the west gate. In summer, at this time, there are many fruit vendors carrying baskets and selling cold drinks.

"Dad, I want to eat popsicles." As soon as Little October heard the hawking, he couldn't help but stare at the tightly wrapped wooden box.

"Lezi, go buy three." Seeing the child's appearance, Luo Tao couldn't help but buy it.

Otherwise, he must have recruited Luo Tao. The incident in Xidan last time is still vivid in his memory. This kid saw a toy car at his toy shop, and he lay there looking at it through the glass.

Luo Tao pulled him away without paying attention. What this kid did next was so deceptive, he actually started acting up.

That uncle and aunt!They all stood by to persuade me: Buy one for your child. It only costs more than ten yuan. Don’t make your child cry.

This meant that he could stand and talk without pain in his back. Luo Tao gritted his teeth and hated this little guy. In the end, he could only reluctantly pack up all the toy car counters and take them away.

Now it was even more embarrassing. Many people in the crowd cursed in a low voice, "Why are you pretending to be a 13-year-old here if you have money?"

Since this incident, Luo Tao has also learned a lot. I must buy this for him today. It is for your own good, my own good, and the good of everyone.

The three of them sat in a shady place, enjoying the coolness of the summer.

"Brother, our little boy will definitely be the best among people after ten months, the one who does great things." Xu Le was eating a popsicle, and when he looked back, his eyes lit up, and he patted Luo Tao.

Luo Tao was still engrossed in his exaggeration of October, and then looked over, good guy, this kid is too daring, actually took advantage of the two of them not paying attention, ran to the watermelon basket in the back, and sat arrogantly Eating popsicles on top.

Luo Tao quickly pulled the little guy down, and when people saw this, he had to spank his little buttocks.

"Dad, um, it's so cold sitting here."

Hey, can it not be cold?If you're eating watermelon and think of a kid's butt, ugh!
Think about it…………
