This street is particularly lively in the early morning. After daybreak, people come in a hurry to buy food. Basically, they are residents of the county town. Guangdan then realizes that even in such a small place, there are still many people coming out to buy food in the morning.

Of course, braised meat is usually the main dish at home, and it is rare for people to eat it like the two guys at the beginning.

Since there was one less person than usual, many old customers asked with concern. At the same time, Lin Erniu was also busier than usual. Fortunately, Guangdan and Gouwei were there to help. Even if he couldn't do anything else, he could still collect money.

This also caused Gouwei, who was originally preparing to deliver the goods early in the morning, to linger by the braised meat stall. However, it didn't matter, as Guangdan was still missing the Zhuangyuan Pot Stickers.

When the large wave of customers in the early morning was about to end, the Guangdan brothers left the braised meat stall and headed for the street market on the other side of the academy.

Even though the small business in Gouwei has been developed for a year, it is still actually very small in scale. After quickly delivering the goods, the two brothers went directly to Zhuangyuan Potstickers.

This is a real food shop, not a street stall. As soon as you enter the house, you can feel the warmth of the charcoal fire. After sitting down at an empty table against the wall, Guangdan quickly ordered two portions of the store's recommended specialty mutton pot stickers.

There's nothing better than eating lamb in the winter.

While waiting for the potstickers, Guangdan had nothing better to do so he observed the customers coming in and out of the food store. Then he asked with some doubt: "Brother, isn't the academy closed for the holidays yet?"

Gouwei looked at these young people in scholar robes with some envy and said, "The academy won't have a holiday until the twelfth lunar month."

Sensing his elder brother's envious tone, Guangdan said without thinking: "If elder brother wants to study, he can go to the clan school. Our family is well off now, and we don't need you to make money, right?"

Gouwei was choked by Guangdan's words. After thinking for a moment, he explained: "Actually, I don't want to study. I'm just a little envious, envious, envious of them--"

When it comes to this, Gouwei's face is full of confusion, and he doesn't know what to say for a moment. What is he envious of?

Guangdan looked at the two young men who were chatting and laughing at a table not far away, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you think they seem to have an easy life?"

"Ah, yes, it's a very relaxing feeling? Right?" Gouwei said uncertainly.

Guangdan stared at the young boy in front of him. In later generations, he would be just a junior high school student, and some would even be babies in their parents' arms.

He felt that his eldest brother must have been under a lot of pressure all the time. The family conditions were not good in the past, and as the eldest grandchild, his eldest brother suffered the most. Although the family conditions are better now, for Gouwei, this poverty crisis still exists.

"Brother, you can do the same. Look, our family now has cows and mules, a braised food stall, my uncle is making money, and grandpa is planning to buy land. Our family is different now than before."

At this point, Guangdan suddenly realized the source of his elder brother's sense of crisis, so he continued, "Let's not talk about other things, such as the stalls and the goods brought back from the city. Are the cows and mules genuine and ours? Are the three newly built houses ours? When grandpa buys the land, will the land really belong to us? What are you still worried about?"

"Haha, that's right. It's me, hey, I feel very uneasy and uneasy. I was particularly worried when you went to the capital. Now that you are back, I am worried about those guys. Am I a little useless, haha."

As he said this, Gouwei laughed awkwardly and touched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Nonsense, big brother, you are worried about your family, it's normal, and it's also our fault for not explaining the ins and outs to you. Big brother, you don't know that these goods are really cheap if you get them from the capital, so, put your heart at ease."

As the brothers were talking, the pot stickers were served. They ended the topic only after eating the hot pot stickers.

I have to say, the fried and crispy pot stickers are really delicious. Guangdan and Dogtail ate them in silence, so how could they have time to talk?

"Bring my family here to eat next time!" After eating, Guangdan wiped his greasy little mouth and said with a smile.

"Well, let Goudan and Goumao come and eat!" Gouwei was also very excited. With the blessing of delicious food, all his previous emotions were swept away.

Then, when Guangdan paid the bill, Gouwei felt distressed for a long time. Seeing his elder brother like this, Guangdan felt that he had been wrong before. He should bring his elder brother with him when he had any work in the future.

When walking out of the Zhuangyuan Potstickers restaurant, Gouwei heard something somewhat unexpected.

"Brother, when the weather gets warmer next spring, let's go to the city together!"

Guangdan's words made Gouwei a little dazed. After a long time, when they were already walking on the street, he finally reacted and asked, "Why am I going to the capital city?"

"Why can't you go if you have nothing to do? Goudan also wants to go, and I have promised him. Maybe my uncle and the others will have other plans by then, so I'll ask you out first!" Guangdan said with a smile.

Along the way, the two of them were talking about going to the provincial capital and didn't pay any attention to other shops on both sides. They ended their conversation when they arrived at the county market.

Because this is the time when the county town is bustling. Farm work has basically been done now, and all that’s left is to hibernate. Before hibernating, everyone will go to the market in the county town to see what to buy back.

The two searched in the market for a while and then they found Lin Xiaoniu and Tiezi who were surrounded.

"How much is this? Oh, give it a cheaper price!"

"Come on, come on, give it to me first!"

"Give me a roll of that thread!"

Guangdan pulled the dog's tail and squeezed through the crowd to Lin Xiaoniu's side. Only then did he see that they were selling embroidery thread and cotton cloth, while the satin cloth next to Lin Daniu and Tiezi was much quieter.
