Chapter 363： Picking Peanuts and Beating Peas 1 (one more)

Children are also capable of picking peanuts and beating soybeans.

After Xiao Lingyu invited ten women from the village, he asked Xiao Xiaohui to call a group of children from the village to pick peanuts together.

The peanut seedlings are still lush, and they are growing very pleasant and lovely. Some of them are still blooming with small yellow flowers. Those who don't know think that these peanuts are not yet mature.

Children picking peanuts are counted at 2 cents per catty.

After all, the children are lively and active, and the wages cannot be timed, only piece counting.

In front of the people in the village, Xiao Lingyu had some money in her hands, but she would not get used to the children's habit of asking for money at will.

There must be no hard work, no gain!

It was summer vacation now, and Xiao Xiaohui greeted him, and ten or twenty children came over.

Because there is money to pick peanuts at Xiao Lingyu's house, the parents of the children are of course willing to help the children.

Xiao Lingyu asked Xiao Xiaohui to take his friends to the field. Because it was a price calculation, everyone had a small basket in front of them, and there was a weighing scale beside them.

When the small box is full, you can weigh it, and then pour it into the big box.

Xiao Lingyun will make statistics for these children.

For the peanuts on three mu of land, a dozen women pulled the peanuts out of the ground and put them aside neatly.

In the back, the children picked it up.

Of course, the speed of picking peanuts is definitely not as fast as that of pulling peanuts.

More than a dozen people have plucked almost two acres of land in one morning.

"This flower grows more and evenly."

After the peanuts were pulled out, many people saw the densely packed peanuts, one after another, and they felt incredible."

Much longer, this peanut is big. This... how did their family grow it? "

That's it for strawberries.

After all, they can't grow things that require technical content.

This sandy land is indeed suitable for growing peanuts, but their peanuts are not so good.

"What's weird about this."

The person next to me naturally said,

"The things they produce now are not good. Don't say strawberries, we don't know how to grow them.

As far as vegetables are concerned, vegetables are grown differently, and ordinary vegetables can be sold at high prices. It's no surprise that peanuts are grown so well now. "

"That's right. Peanuts are so good, and soy beans are probably good."

"That must be. However, Xiao Lingyu grows so many peanuts and soybeans, are they used to sell or to squeeze oil?"

"You ask me, how do I know. Then I will know." Someone said with a smile.

On the other side, every child brought a small stool over, and then took the peanuts pulled out by the adults and put them in a pile, so that they could sit on the side and pick peanuts.

Of course, in this hot weather, there are a few big parasols in the ground.

Two children took a look at the raw peanuts in their hands, then looked at the others, and then they peeled the husks of flowers and put them in their mouths.

"Wow, these peanuts are so delicious. Sweet and fragrant." After the child secretly tasted raw peanuts, he was uncontrollable in surprise.

This immediately annoyed Xiao Xiaohui. He stared at Xiao Baozi and said angrily, "Fat Baozi, I'm here to ask you to pick peanuts, not to ask you to eat peanuts."

Fat Baozi said aggrievedly, "But these raw peanuts are really delicious."

"No matter how delicious it is, you are not allowed to eat it!" Xiao Xiaohui said loudly, "If you want you to eat it, you will be eating peanuts instead of picking peanuts."

Having said this, Xiao Xiaohui said with wide-eyed eyes, "If you eat peanuts again, then go back and stop picking peanuts."

Xiao Xiaohui is not actually a stingy person.

But here, seventeen or eight friends, if you eat peanuts, he also eats peanuts. It is estimated that the peanuts may have been eaten before they are picked.

It's not right to eat all peanuts and delay doing things.

Hearing Xiao Xiaohui's words, the fat bun suddenly curled his lips and said, "Okay, if you don't eat it, you won't eat it. I will continue to pick peanuts."

To be honest, the peanuts from Little Loach’s sister's house are really delicious, sweet, crunchy, and flavorful, and even more delicious than the peanuts he had eaten before.

He still wants to eat.

However, he still prefers money.

Once he has money, he can buy his favorite toys.

Picking one catty of peanuts is 2 hairs, and ten catties is only two yuan. He must be able to pick 50 catties of peanuts.

There are ten yuan for fifty catties.

In the end, the fat buns still had the upper hand in money.

But looking at these peanuts, I was drooling.

Seventeen children, plus Grandma Xiao, Xiao Lingyun and two children, formed a circle under the umbrella, picking peanuts very seriously.

Because of their trip, Lulu and Rourou wore long-sleeved pink skirts with a large bow at the back and a pair of white leggings to prevent mosquito bites.

These days, the two children have been trying their best to supplement the nutrition of the Xiao family. Mother Xiao secretly gave them some spiritual spring water. Now their complexion is getting better and better. The complexion is not so sallow, and the flesh is getting longer. This whole person is also getting better. It seems more lively.

Lulu held a peanut seedling and saw the yellow and white peanuts growing on the roots, and asked her mother, "Mom, is this a peanut?"

Xiao Lingyun smiled and said, "Yes, this is peanuts."

"But mother, why are peanuts knotted in the ground instead of on the branches?" Lulu asked.

Xiao Lingyun, "..." She didn't know either.

She just knows that peanuts are fruits that grow on the roots.

"Mom, why are there little yellow flowers on this peanut seedling?" Curious baby Lulu asked.

As a semi-illiterate Xiao Lingyun, "..." She still didn't know.

Although she had read it when she was studying, she has been studying for too long, so long that she has forgotten it.

Later, she went directly to the health school and became a housewife. She had forgotten all these things.

Xiao Lingyun secretly said, "It's terrifying to have no culture. It seems that we still have to pick up the textbooks and study more. At least when the babies have questions, they don't know everything."

More importantly, first go buy a hundred thousand books.

Xiao Lingyun said to the children honestly, "Honey, these mothers don't know."

The expression on Lulu's little face was obviously disappointed. She said, "Oh, mother didn't know."

Xiao Lingyun looked very unbearable when she saw the disappointed expression on Lulu's face.

She said, "But baby, don't worry. Mom will go and read the book when I get back. When I know the answer, I will tell my baby, okay?"

Lulu's eyes lit up suddenly, and she nodded in response, "Well, good."

Later, the two sisters immersed themselves in the fun of picking peanuts.

The day when they came to the grandmother's house in Taoyuan Village was the happiest and happiest day they had enjoyed since they were born.

There is no beating and scolding of grandma and aunt, nor the cold eyes of father and grandpa.

Everyone here is very kind to them. If there is something delicious, I will give it to them first, and if there is something fun, I will give it to them first, and there are many children here who will play with them.

However, they were always worried that their grandparents would suddenly appear here, berating them fiercely, and then start beating and scolding them and let them go to work.

But mother and grandmother told them that their grandpa and grandma would never show up in front of them in the future, don't worry, don't be afraid.

is this real?

Grandpa and grandma aunt will really not show up again?

They are still very suspicious now.

Although the two children are protected by Xiao Lingyun in the Cheng family, the way the Cheng family treats them has cast a shadow on their hearts.

In the future, to get out of this shadow, they may have to rely on themselves.

Perhaps, when they grow up slightly, they may be scared when they know that their scared grandparents and aunts have been arrested in prison.

However, now the Xiao family are hiding their two children.

After all, no matter how bad those people are, no matter how bad they treat their children, they are all their close relatives.

After plucking two acres of peanuts in the morning, they drew up the remaining one acre in the afternoon.

The people who came to pick peanuts in the afternoon were not only a dozen children, but also some elderly people. There were also fifteen or six people.

These elderly people, because of health reasons, do not ask them for work, and they have no other income except for growing land and vegetables.

Of course, some people will also collect medicinal materials and sell them. After a month, they will have some small income.

It's just not much after all.

Now I heard that Xiao Lingyu's peanut picking needs manpower. There are several old people cheeky looking for Granny Xiao, and Granny Xiao is so soft-hearted, more than a dozen old people have come over.

Like these children, they are all based on price.

As soon as more than a dozen children saw so many people in the afternoon, their sense of competition immediately increased.
