In the countryside, there is a kind of nostalgia called "rushing to the meeting", in the countryside there is a kind of nostalgia called "rushing to the meeting", and in the countryside there is a kind of happiness called "rushing to the meeting".
When I was a child, the meeting was concentrated in the first half of March and April and the second half of the year from October to November, the time of each township will be staggered and will not coincide, of course, the adults will remember, we can not remember, but from the words of the adults can be felt, tomorrow will be the meeting, parents will discuss what to buy tomorrow at night, the most critical family four children to take whom, this is the most critical, if it is me, then tonight is not a good night. I'm dreaming about what to see and buy at tomorrow's meeting.
It is impossible to have a meeting every day, a market is twice a year, so the meeting is very grand and lively, my father will pack up the car, my mother will also put on new clothes, and take me and my sister to catch the meeting together, at that time, the road to the meeting is already very lively, in all directions, walking, cycling, are pouring into the market, and the expression of excitement is overflowing on everyone's face.
At that time, the meeting was really crowded, adults had to work hard to hold the children's hands, and there were often cases where the children were crowded, unlike now, every meeting was the same, even the New Year could not squeeze anywhere, at that time, the meeting was the festival.
Speaking of festivals, it is to buy a lot of things, adult clothes, daily necessities, agricultural materials, etc., after buying is our welfare, a small toy, a baked cake, my father sometimes leads us down to the restaurant, drink some broth or ball soup, of course, if you don't buy, there are still cases of lazy crying in front of the stall haha.
At that time, there were a lot of people buying and selling in the market, and there were all kinds of markets that were divided into lots, and they had to pay "meat meat" (a kind of tax), and there were livestock markets, wood markets, home markets, and agricultural markets, and my favorite thing was to go to the cattle and horse markets, where you could see all kinds of different animals, and people were very interested in bargaining.
It's easy to do when you're thirsty, there are special shops and tea stalls, a few large glasses for canning, pour the brewed tea water inside, put a square glass on it, want to drink to the side for two cents, a glass of water is very strong, simple very!
At that time, the things at the meeting were basically produced in their own fields, or made by themselves, ** and reasonable, there were not so many doorways, I used to go to the market with my father and uncle to sell small melons or something, all of which were things that could not be eaten in their own vegetable garden, which was a fun experience.
At that time, it was not like now when you go to the supermarket to have everything, and it will be over in a while, at that time, you have to plan what you want to buy, the place is big, and it is difficult to walk, and it takes half a day to buy all the things, so when you go home, it will be noon, and when you get home, you will make a dumpling with the meat that your father bought, and talk about the new things that will happen today, just like the New Year.
In addition to eating and drinking, that is to play, department stores have all kinds of fun, but Tiantianyun is nothing new, I like to watch singing and monkey play with adults, because these businesses do not often come here, usually do not see in the fair, and even have a variety of circuses.
The current temple fair is very different from before, many industries are invisible, what else do you want to say about the previous meeting?
