Shen Yunfang left home with two children and a cartful of goods at seven in the morning, and only arrived at the Shangtang Brigade marketplace after nine.
She had heard about this place from people who came to wholesale couplets in the morning, and it was also from word of mouth that she knew which days these brigades around the Capital held their big market days.
By the time they got there, the market was already bustling with people, callings of sellers, and haggles overlapping one another, which made Shitou and Shuanzi very excited.
Shuanzi leaped off the cart in an instant, giving Shen Yunfang quite a scare.
"Shuanzi, where are you going?" Shen Yunfang parked the cart and called out to Shuanzi, who was running ahead.
"Aunt, you walk slowly behind. I'm going to look for an empty spot," Shuanzi called back as he disappeared into the crowd.
