If it weren't for Li Aihua's voice, Xu Yan really wouldn't want to ask this tailor Xiao Xue to make clothes for him again.

trouble.

It was obvious that the girl following him liked him, and for some reason he was rejecting her.

"Are you going to make clothes?" Xue Ning glanced at Li Aihua, then turned his gaze to Xu Yan.

"Yes," Xu Yan nodded, "I want to do a few."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl standing next to Xue Ning immediately stared at her for a few seconds.

Xu Yan didn't care much.

"Then come with me," Xue Ning said, and walked towards the market.

"Wait a minute," Xu Yan called out to him, and when Xue Ning looked over, he said, "We'll come over later, there are some things we need to deal with first."

"What is it?"

Before anyone else spoke, Li Aihua spoke with a puzzled look on her face.

Xu Yan glanced at her and didn't answer.

Xue Ning didn't ask much, he just pointed out the location of the tailor shop to her and left first. The girl who had been following him before also quickly followed.

"What else do we need?" Li Aihua asked again.

Xu Yan still didn't answer her, and started a new conversation, "Sister-in-law, do you have a good impression of this tailor Xiao Xue?"

"It's OK," Li Aihua said, "There are only three tailor shops in the town, and Xiao Xue's tailoring skills are the best among them, and the prices are also fair."

Xu Yan walked forward while looking around.

The closer you get to the market entrance, the more people there are, and the more lively it becomes.

"A lot of people come to him to make clothes," Li Aihua continued, "so I thought, let's just follow him, maybe he can let us jump the queue and make clothes first."

"It's okay, don't worry," Xu Yan put his arm around her and had to raise his voice a little because the noise around them was too loud.

"It's too hot to wear long sleeves now, so I made the clothes so I can wear them when it gets cold in a couple of days."

"Besides, I have to buy cotton cloth."

"You still love your man," Li Aihua lifted the basket on her back, "That's it, our Zheng Er was talking about it a few days ago."

"What?" Xu Yan asked.

"They said you abused Old Third Xie," Li Aihua said with disdain, "I said that for a beautiful girl like you, you didn't disdain Old Third Xie and married him. That was his blessing in his previous life. He should go and burn incense and pray to the Buddha to express his gratitude."

Xu Yan was amused by her long string of words.

No wonder.

That day, Zheng Xiaopeng put down half a bucket of fish and ran away. It turned out that he thought she was abusing Xie Zhuo.

But she remembered that what she said at that time was to let Xie Zhuo eat one more bowl of rice?

strangeness.

Xu Yan and Li Aihua strolled around the market for a long time, visiting almost the entire market.

Xu Yan bought light-colored linen brown fabric and blue-black fabric, intending to use them all to make clothes for Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo is tall, has a good figure, and a handsome face. He is almost a walking clothes rack and looks good in anything he wears.

But except for the wedding day, Xu Yan had never seen him wearing light-colored clothes. After thinking about it, he asked for a few more feet of light linen brown cotton cloth.

"This color," Li Aihua frowned and looked at the cloth in Xu Yan's hand.

"Hmm?" Xu Yan looked at her.

"This color will get dirty too easily if you work in the fields," Li Aihua said, "and few people would choose this color of cloth to make clothes."

"I can see that," Xu Yan took a few glances at the fabrics on the stall.

The cheapest other cloth costs at least 40 cents per foot, but this kind of cloth only costs 37 cents.

"Then why did you buy so much?" Li Aihua said, "Aren't you being taken advantage of?"

Xu Yan: “…”

She didn't intend to let Xie Zhuo wear this clothes to go to the fields.

She made it for him to wear at home.

Mainly because Xie Zhuo loves cleanliness, he changes clothes at least two or three times a day.

He would not be like most men in the village who would lie on the kang in the clothes they wore for working in the fields, nor would he change his clothes until they were visibly dirty.

Therefore, Xu Yan thought about distinguishing between the clothes worn in the fields and those worn at home.

The most important thing is that she thinks Xie Zhuo looks good in clothes of this color.

Of course, this reason is not easy to tell others.

"It's cheap," Xu Yan said, then counted the money and tickets and handed them to the person buying the cloth.

Li Aihua wanted to say something, but finally held back.

The two of them walked forward a little further and saw a woman selling fried cakes. There was a crowd of people around her and they could smell the fragrance from a long distance away.

"Let's go and take a look," said Li Aihua.

She likes to eat this, and every time she goes to the market, she always buys a few to take home.

This woman works at a state-owned restaurant in town. It is said that she has great skills and is sent here to sell fried cakes every time there is a market.

"From a state-owned restaurant?" Xu Yan was a little surprised.

"Yes," Li Aihua nodded, "Now individuals are not allowed to buy and sell, so of course they are all state-owned restaurants."

"That guy who was selling cloth just now," Xu Yan pointed back.

"Oh, he works at the supply and marketing cooperative of a nearby brigade," Li Aihua said. "He usually has a sullen face, as if someone owes him money. But today he seems to be in a better mood."

Xu Yan nodded.

She said, if private buying and selling is not allowed, why are there still people setting up stalls to sell things? It turns out that it is all a "team building" activity of the state-owned enterprises.

After Li Aihua made up her mind and spent fifty cents to buy ten fried cakes, Xu Yan also bought ten.

Mainly because it smells really good.

The small area around the oil pan is filled with the aroma of fried sugar and dough, making you not want to leave once you stand there.

"It's delicious while it's hot," said Li Aihua, and took a bite of a fried cake.

Seeing her actions, Xu Yan also took a bite of the oil cake in his hand.

The fried cake is very soft and sticky, but the skin is crispy, and the fragrance lingers in your mouth when you take a bite.

Then Xu Yan took a second bite. Before she could chew it, she felt her tongue being burned by a stream of scalding liquid. She retracted her tongue abruptly, and the half piece of oil cake in her hand fell to the ground.

"Ah," Xu Yan cried out briefly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Aihua was still carefully biting the crispy skin on the edge of the fried cake. When she heard Xu Yan's cry, she quickly looked towards her.

"It got burned," Xu Yan frowned.

"Is it serious?" Li Aihua knew that fried cakes contain sugar water because she eats them often. She had to bite a hole in it first and wait for the inside to cool down before eating.

I forgot that it was Xu Yan’s first time eating it.

"Let me see," Li Aihua moved closer to Xu Yan.

"It's okay," Xu Yan subconsciously stepped back, "It's okay, I was just startled. I didn't expect there was something inside."

"We have candy," Li Aihua saw that she really didn't have any problem and returned to her original position. After all, she had never heard of anyone getting burned by eating fried cakes. "Otherwise, it wouldn't be so expensive."

Xu Yan nodded.

She carefully collected the remaining nine oil cakes and put them into her backpack.

The fried cake that just fell on the ground was held in the mouth of a small local dog. It seemed to be scalded, but it endured and did not let go.
