Cities around China started to let people sell food，clothes and other small things on streets on the weekend.
In the past，cities didn't let the vendors（小販） sell things on streets，because they always made streets dirty and traffic （交通） hard to move.However，there are problems with the economy （經(jīng)濟） because of COVID-19.Now，to help people make money and help with the economy，cities let the vendors come back.
On May 30，the city of Changchun in Jilin said that it would encourage the opening of night markets and that people could sell things on streets again.Night markets can be in parks，in squares and on the roadside if they don't interrupt（妨 礙）traffic and local life.People don't need to pay for their roadside booths（地攤），but they have to be in good order.
   "It doesn't say there will be no rules，" Wang Yukai，a teacher from a college said， "If someone wants to set up a roadside booth，he or she must follow some rules."
   Chengdu also has a similar way to help with the economy.It lets people run roadside booths on some streets after March 15.Now the city has more than 2，000 places for people to set up roadside booths. That makes quite a few people stop worrying about looking for jobs. The smart move（舉措） helps many people make money because night markets are really popular.An officer（官員）said，" Helping people when they are in need is what a city should do."
