I had a delicious meal at Erniang's house with Qiaohui, eating the fried noodles she made. The taste was really good, and Erniang indeed has a talent for cooking. I thought about those noodle shops in the future, wondering how prosperous their business would be. I couldn't help but say to Erniang: "Erniang, you're so skilled at cooking, now even making fried noodles! Why don't we open a noodle shop together in town? My mom does clothing, and you do noodles, wouldn't that be great?"
Erniang's face lit up with joy: "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoyun. But not now, my skills still need to be honed through hard work. Besides, autumn harvest is coming soon, let's talk about it after we're done with that, okay?" Qiaohui and I looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison: "Okay!"
We said goodbye to Erniang, and returned home. My dad had already finished eating, and as soon as he saw us, he said: "Go to the kitchen to eat, your mom has already served it, let's go after you finish eating." I smiled: "We've already eaten, we can set off now." Looking at my and Qiaohui's attire, hmm, not bad, clean and refreshing. I touched the lily hair clip on my head and said to myself: Fu, bless me with a smooth journey!
Following my dad out of the house, we headed towards the road that leads to the small town. Our place is relatively remote and originally belongs to Mei Town, but it's closer to An Town, so we usually say going to town means going to An Town. This proximity is relative, in fact, from home to An Town takes more than an hour on foot, which shows it's still quite far.
Walking on the dusty little road, I couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder people say that to get rich, you have to fix the roads first. It's really hitting the nail on the head. For a remote area like ours, fixing the roads is probably last on the list! We'll have to wait another seven or eight years, I suppose?" My dad heard my words and nodded slightly: "You're pretty perceptive, kiddo. With this road being impassable, it's inconvenient for ordinary people to do anything. How can we get rich like that?" "So, we should take the lead and open a store in a town with relatively good transportation," I said confidently. My dad looked at me with a smile and continued walking briskly.
At last, after singing n songs and telling n jokes with Qiao Wei, counting n trees, An Town finally appeared before my eyes. A winding moat surrounded the small town, with willows leaning on the riverbank, the water flowing gurglingly, and a double wooden bridge spanning the river. It turned out that this was also a double-wooden bridge in the small town. Seeing this double-wooden bridge, I couldn't help but think of the single-wooden bridge in my hometown, thinking of Xiao Yang who helped me at a critical moment, Xiao Yang who quietly cared about me. He should be coming this afternoon, he said we would go to school together tomorrow. Suddenly, I also thought of what Ruo Feng said in his dream: We only have this life's fate, because he needs to continue cultivating, and I have emotional debts to repay. Could it be that besides Mo's deep affection, I still owe Xiao Yang an emotional debt?
I shook my head, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to cherish this life with Ruyun, no matter who can't change my mind. "Come on, Yun'er, let's hold hands and cross the bridge!" Qiaohui pulled my hand and led me towards the Double Wood Bridge. How thoughtful of Hui! She must have thought about my fear of crossing the Single Wood Bridge.
After crossing the twin-wooden bridge, there is a winding small road. On both sides of the road are patches of vegetable fields, growing all sorts of vegetables. This must be the vegetable fields of the town's farmers. The whole town's daily vegetables come from here. Passing through the vegetable fields, I saw row upon row of private houses, red-brick and black-tiled bungalows. These should be the homes of those farmers. Finally, I caught sight of the street scene - an old stone-paved street lay beneath our feet. The street was not wide, lined with some old houses and shops. Years later, although this old street still exists, those old houses have turned into high-rise buildings. The old shops have also become new ones.
As we walked, Qiao Wei was getting excited because this was her first time in town. "Yun'er, look, a small grocery store!" Qiao Wei pointed to the shop on the side of the street and exclaimed happily, "Yun'er, Yun'er, look, there's a pot and bowl seller over there, haha, so interesting!" I helplessly shrugged my shoulders, indeed a country girl, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
In the end, our current bodies are a little girl. After seeing an accessory store, we walked in without saying a word. Wow, although the store is not big, there are many accessories inside, all kinds of hair flowers, hairpins, and cosmetics such as rouge and powder are available. There were several girls in the store selecting hair flowers, they saw our figures, first stunned, then whispered to each other. I and Hui were excitedly admiring these accessories, because we didn't plan to buy any before, so we just greedily looked around. Dad didn't come in with us, he was buying something in a nearby grocery store.
"Excuse me, where did you buy this dress?" One of the girls walked up to us and asked timidly. The other girls looked at us with eager eyes. Oh, something's going on. I secretly rejoiced in my heart.
"Are you asking us?" I asked with an innocent expression. "Yes, it's you!" The girl nodded hastily, as if afraid I would leave. "This dress is really beautiful, we've never seen it before. Will you tell us?"
Another girl also walked over: "You said it, I'll give each of you a flower for your hair." Wow, so generous! It's definitely because they saw the envious look on our faces just now. But from this, we can see that the charm of new clothes is really great!
"Alright, I'll tell you, our clothes were made by the owner of a shop called 'Chen Xi Clothing Store'. I heard they're planning to open a store in town next week. Your family is from town, right? So you can go and order some next week. Remember, it's called 'Chen Xi Clothing Store'!" I said slowly and calmly.
The girls suddenly smiled, and the generous girl said: "Come on, choose a hairpin, I keep my word." "Thank you, we really don't want to buy, just came over to take a look." Honestly, how could these little kids buy me a hairpin? Besides, I was just looking around to prepare for future designs. "Can you tell me your name? I'm quite familiar with that boss, I can ask her to help you tailor a custom-made dress, guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind, what do you think?" Looking at the girl's bright and clear eyes made me feel affectionate at first sight.
"My name is Zhang Bao'er, and these are all my good friends. You can call me Bao'er!" Bao'er replied with a big smile. I extended my hand: "I'm Yin Ruoyun, and this is my older sister Yin Qiaohui. Nice to meet you all! Who knows, maybe we'll see each other again?" Bao'er also shook hands with me. We exchanged a glance and smiled, and suddenly felt a sense of mutual affection.
