Mama Qi and Papa Qi had already woken up. Grandma was sleeping on the brick bed, while Papa Qi and Mama Qi were sleeping in the other bedroom downstairs. Since Mama Qi was going to set up a stall at the market today, they ate a bowl of noodles and a poached egg each and walked to the Deming Wife's.

Black and cold, there were many people on the street preparing to set up their stalls. Especially in the street selling clothes and shoes, everyone used bamboo poles to prop up their clothes racks one by one. Straight on the bamboo poles were ropes tied with various kinds of clothes hung on them.

By the time he reached his wife's house, Sister Deming had already opened the door of the shop. When she saw two people come in, she smiled and said, "You two are up so early."

Lili said, "Sister, you woke up earlier. You've already opened the door and are waiting for us."

With Lili's help, the genius Meng Liang was already preparing to get ready: two iron shelves were hung at the entrance of the tailor's shop with various types of clothes for adults and children, so they didn't turn on the trumpets for fear of affecting the rest of the neighbors. Grandma Fang was now preparing the meal and calling the two to come in to eat first, knowing that Grandma Fang had already filled two bowls of hot red bean soup for the two of them. Lili smiled as she received it, saying, "Grandma Fang, your cooking skills are really good, and the food you cook is also very delicious."

Granny Fang smiled and said, "If it's delicious, come often. If you want to eat anything, as long as it's something grandma knows how to cook, I'll make it for all of you to eat."

Lili looked at Granny Fang who was carrying two empty bowls home, sighed, and said softly, "I actually want to eat the food you make everyday, but I don't know if your grandson will give me the chance to do so."

Qi Xiang smiled and pushed her arm, saying, "The fort is always broken down from the inside. As long as Grandma Fang and Sister-in-Law Deming think that you're good, I think Fang Hang would think that you're good as well. Sis, you should perform well for the next few days."

"Don't worry," said Lily, "I'll help you with your food and lodging, not to mention the fact that you don't have any money."

Qi Yuan said seriously, "With your attitude here, I'm sure you'll get what you want. Come on young lady, let's do it!"

When the sky brightened up, Qi Zheng turned on the trumpet and played a melodious music. A sweet voice came from behind the music, "In order to deal with the Spring Festival Reward of the Stores and Beauty Clothing Factory, you have to sell all kinds of clothes for a low price, and all kinds of children's clothing. Do not miss the good prices." It's a bit of a cliché, but in the early years of the new century, the countryside is pretty advanced.

The moment the loudspeaker opened up the stall, people immediately came to see it. The moment the people started selling their things, it would be sold. It hadn't been long since the market opened, and the few dozen dollars in his hands were like flowers blooming in his heart. Seeing the increasing number of people in the market, his heart was filled with a sense of happiness.

It was a bit difficult for the two of them to look at this stall. If one went to the room to find a suitable number for the customer, only one person would be able to look at the stall, so it would be a loss if one or two pieces of rice porridge were taken away smoothly. Fortunately, Wu Yuzheng also came to help, and Qi Yuan and Lili had only just breathed a sigh of relief when the whole morning passed by.

After having lunch with Grandma Qi, Grandpa Qi also came to the stall to look at his granddaughter. The two elders also felt bad that it was such a cold day.

Qi Ku and Qi Tao didn't go to school today, so they usually took a two week break on Sunday. The two of them led a group of children to stroll around the streets until it was time to eat lunch, and then they strolled over to Qi Chuan. The children's faces were red with excitement, especially Guo Guo, with a candied fruit in her hand and two big glasses shining, and when they saw Qi Chuang and Wu Yuzheng, they ran over to them and smiled while holding the bright red candied fruit in their hands and said: "Look, candied fruit, it's sour and sweet."

Lily smiled and said, "Do you like it?"

Guo Guo nodded and happily said, "I do. There are even cantaloupe sellers. They are white and sweet."

Lili said, "I'll buy it for you when my sister makes money. We'll buy whatever she likes."

Qi Xiang asked Qi Xiang: "Did you have lunch?"

Qi said, "We'll go home for dinner later. Our mom just told me that she went home to cook. She told us to go back home for dinner later."

Qi Chang told the children to be careful of their safety and quickly went home to eat. Qi Lang asked Qi Jing, "Sister, have you eaten? How about I help you watch you eat with your older brother and sister? "

Qi Xiang smiled and patted Qi Run's shoulder and said, "We already ate, so we still need you guys to help us out. Quickly go and eat with Yanzhi, your mom is selling apples on the streets. Tell your mom to send them some food, and your mom says that she's ready to send it over to you guys."

Third Uncle, Third Aunt's apple orchard was left behind for sale in the market a few years ago. Although it was harder to sell, the price was higher than when people went to the orchard. Third Uncle, Third Aunt also went to sell vegetables and fruits early in the morning.

After lunch, the number of people in the market dwindled. At the end of the day, the three of them found a small stool and sat down to chat. The sun was still warm, and without the help of the wind, he felt warm all over. He calculated the number of clothes he would be selling in the morning and estimated that he would be able to sell all of them.

There was a eldest sister-in-law who brought her children to buy clothes. The mother and son wore cotton jacket and pants made by themselves. The clothes on the outside were obviously made by their own families. Qi Zheng could even see a patch on the mother's sleeve.

Qi Xiang stood up and smiled at the mother and son, saying, "Auntie, you're here to buy clothes."

That auntie said rather uneasily, "Let's take a look. There are people in the village who buy clothes from you. They say it's cheap, so we came to take a look since the clothes are good."

Qi Xiang asked, "Are you buying adult or child's clothes?" The child beside the aunt was a girl who looked to be about the same age as Qi Yuan. She wore a thin, cotton-padded jacket and long pants, which made a rattle sound as she answered, "It was bought for my mother."

The aunt said, "It's for the child."

The little girl said, "Mom, I don't need to buy new clothes. I just need to wear the clothes my brother poured out."

The mother of the child said, "How can you do without a new dress? Listen to mother, I'll buy it for you this year's new year. "

The little girl said, "I don't want one. Mother, you should buy a new set of clothes this new year. You haven't bought any new set of clothes for many years."

The mother said, "It doesn't matter if mother wears new clothes or not, nor does it matter if she's at home or in the fields. At your age, Mom hasn't bought you any new clothes, and it looks like you're about to go to high school next year. Mom wants to buy you some new clothes.

The little girl said, "Mom, even if I don't wear any new clothes, I can still get a good grade. It's better if I buy some for you."

Qi Yuan watched on from the side as the two fought over who to buy clothes for. Lili watched the three of them standing in front of the clothes rack, but did not go to check out the clothes on the rack. Instead, she came over to find out what was going on, and when she heard the two whispering to each other, she said, "Qi Chang, this child is so filial. Why don't we give her one?"

Qi Xiang said, "You have to give it to them. What's more, this is a partnership business. We can't do whatever we want with it."

Lili didn't say anything as she watched the two girls talk. Just then, Qi Yuan arrived on his bicycle, holding a thermal container in his hand. When he saw the little girl buying clothes, he greeted, "Xu Ming Feng, you're here to buy clothes too?"

When the little girl saw Qi Yuan, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "That's right, my mother and I are here to buy clothes for my mother, are you here to buy clothes too?"

Qi Yuan said, "My sister is here selling clothes, I'm here to deliver something to my sister." As he spoke, he handed the thermal container in his hand over to Qi Zhao and said, "Grandma cooked some millet porridge at noon and asked me to bring some for you."

Qi Yuan asked, "Is this your classmate?"

Qi Yuan said, "This is my tablemate, Xu Mingfeng."

Qi Yuan quickly said to the mother, "Hello auntie, I'm Qi Yuan's sister. Buying clothes for you would be cheaper, why don't you buy yourself and Ming Feng each one?"

The mother pondered for a moment and said, "Alright then. Thank you so much."

Qi Xiang said, "Hey, what's there to thank me for? Your family's Ming Feng is better at studying than our family's Qi Yuan. I'd like to request that your family's Ming Feng help our Qi Yuan."

As she spoke, she helped to find a dress suitable for Xu mama to wear. Xu mama put it on and tried it on her, a jujube colored striped fabric, neatly cut to make her look a few years younger and a little more capable. The little girl Xu Mingfeng's smile never stopped when she saw her mother trying on the clothes, and when she saw her mother putting them on, she even went up to help her, saying to her mother, "Mother, you look really good in these clothes, let's just wear them."

Qi Yuan also said, "Aunt, this dress looks really nice on you."

Li Li took advantage of the time when they were trying on Mother Xu's clothes to pull out a light purple jacket. She said to Xu Mingfeng, "I think this outfit will look really good on you. Try it on."

Xu Mingfeng looked at the clothes and said, "Forget it, we'll just buy one for my mother."

Lili stuffed the clothes into Xu Mingfeng's hands and smiled, "The boss said he'll give you a discount. You just have to try it on. When the time comes, elder sister will help you cut the price, so we must cut the price."

Qi Yuan also said, "That's right, I will help you cut the price. I will definitely get the lowest price.
