In previous years, these few big markets before the festival were filled with buyers and sellers, so much so that the last two big markets would extend from half a day to a whole day.
Previously, Ma Suyun loved visiting the big markets, but she's pregnant this year and can't squeeze into crowded places.
Along the way, Ma Suyun saw villagers pushing bicycles and carrying large bags of goods, and she felt envious.
This envy made her want to chat more, ask what each family bought, and praise another family's fresh groceries.
Saying this made her feel disheartened.
This year, almost every household in Qin Family Village built vegetable greenhouses and clearly were more prosperous.
And those who worked at Xiyang Food Factory were lavish in purchasing New Year goods.
Let's not even mention large chunks of pork, they were buying racks of ribs like fans.
Thinking that her family hasn't bought anything yet, only a little fried food, which she got from her mother-in-law.
