Depressed, with your hands full of luggage, shopping, for most of the time you ask the seller itself to take the money from your pocket, having no other option in settling your order. And eventually, on the same small street are placed the common interest institutions: PTTR, the restaurant, the old inn and others.
The particularity of this fair is that here you can buy for a term, the payment of your goods being unnecessary at the moment. You can bargain having any money. At the overdue time you show yourself with the money, with your products or if you bargained for work, to finish your duty working.
If a man sells a sheep, you can order the part of the animal that interests you for buying. You come back in half an hour and you can have it. Meanwhile the sheep was sacrificed and you can leave with the piece that belongs to you. People “attend each other”, how they use to say around here.
All these were much known for Marie. Since Josef came back from the army, with a driver’s license, she is attending all the fairs, takes the shopping that she wished for, every Saturday.
Usually the vegetables are brought from “down”, how people around here use to say about the ones that live on the flat side. With or without any concern, Marie was riding by car all day.
Josef had a car as good as new, it was a Z.I.S that they would clean together. They have known each other since Josef was a helping driver. Her house, more exactly her parents house, is placed upgrade and near it pass all the cars. The cars pass with a lot of speed and almost all the drivers look outside the cab’s window “to listen” the engine, to hear the way it’s “getting stronger” on the way up, at this speed. Marie was watching them all, just like in a magazine.
And seeing her constantly, seeing the same face, the same feature, from the same balcony, Josef started to like her.
