This stokes a hornet's nest!

Sanbao was the first to stand up and said: "Brother, you can't laugh at the joke!"

"That's right, Xiaoxiao's whole body is short, including her hands and feet." Hu Qingqing stood by her younger cousin without hesitation and glared at her elder cousin dissatisfied.

"Hahaha, Qingqing, what are you telling the truth!" Dabao laughed happily. These three little ones got together and had fun every day.

"Sister Qingqing, my hands and feet are not short!" Qin Xiaoxiao corrected unhappily. She didn't like people saying that she had short hands and short legs. She was angry when she saw that her elder brother not only didn't reflect on it, but actually laughed at herself.

He said loudly: "Bad brother, come down!"

"I don't!" Dabao made a clever move with his wrist and knocked down more than a dozen dates with one bamboo pole. Looking at his friends on the ground who were cheering to pick up the dates, he shook the bamboo pole triumphantly.

Qin Xiaoxiao stamped her feet angrily, staring at Dabao's legs with her big black eyes: "Come down!"

I have mostly seen my sister laughing and laughing, and seeing that she is actually angry with me. She looks cuter when she is angry than when she is smiling. I can’t help but want to tease her more and more: “Sister, your limbs are too short, you can’t even climb this stool.

If you don’t come up, it’s still… Oops!”

Before he finished speaking, Dabao somehow fell off the stool and fell on his back: "Butt, ow, my butt!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help Dabao: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did you break your butt?"

"It looks like it hurts. You didn't break your bones, did you?" The group of children who were picking up dates also ran over, and some reached out to take off Dabao's pants to take a look.

"No, I didn't break any bones." Dabao stood up from the ground with some difficulty, holding on to the waistband of his trousers that was almost taken off, and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a resentful look on his face: "If you hadn't asked me to 'come down'

, can I 'come down' like this? If you have something to say next time, please don't scare me!"

Why did he forget that this little girl has a crow's mouth? It's not good to make anyone angry, so he wanted to make her angry. Now, his butt is about to burst.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know what she had done. She thought her elder brother was angry and was blaming herself. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Brother, I don't want bamboo poles anymore. I don't want to beat dates anymore."

Dabao was startled, fearing that she would really cry and said hurriedly: "Don't, don't cry. Brother is just saying that I don't blame you! Stop crying. If you want to beat Zaoer, brother will help you. I promise to give you the biggest blow."

Knock the one off."

Under Dabao's kind words of comfort, Qin Xiaoxiao held back her tears. She grabbed the bamboo pole that fell on the ground and looked at Dabao with bright eyes: "Brother, let's play jujube!"

Dabao poked her forehead helplessly, picked her up and placed her on a stool as high as his thigh: "Stand firm, don't fall down."

"Well, stand firm and don't fall." Qin Xiaoxiao said with a serious face, remembering the tragic situation when her elder brother fell on his butt just now.

Dabao was worried and stood close to the stool. If Qin Xiaoxiao showed signs of falling, he could catch her in time.

The bamboo pole was too long, so Qin Xiaoxiao barely managed to lift it above his head, but it was difficult to swing it hard enough to knock down the dates. Not only was the strength not enough, but the direction was wrong. He tried hard to hit the pole several times, but always missed.

She still couldn't win down the big date she was interested in.

"It's too difficult!" Qin Xiaoxiao wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and muttered to Dabao: "This bamboo pole is disobedient and keeps running away."

"Pfft!" Dabao smiled rudely and took the bamboo pole in her hand: "It's because you don't have enough strength, so it's better for my brother to fight! I will fight more today, and my uncle will pick some to sell in the city tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao urged: "Brother, fight quickly, fight more, fight more, I want to sell dates with my father!"

Dabao knew that her selling jujubes was fake, but thinking that it was true to play in the city, he rubbed her head and continued to beat jujubes.

There are so many dates on the tree that you can easily knock down a dozen of them with a bamboo pole. But there are more people picking up dates on the ground. Every time a date falls, they are all picked up in the blink of an eye.

The most outrageous thing is that this guy is so greedy that even though his belly is as big as a ball, he still wants to get in the crowd and grab dates to eat. He sneakily ate no less than three of the half basket of dates that he had already knocked down.

Ten, some children were counting specifically.

Seeing it lower its head, another big date went into its mouth. It ate it with gusto. The children wanted to put a bag in its mouth, feeling sorry for the dates it had eaten.

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it any longer. He poked Mie's belly and taught him a lesson: "You've eaten a lot, don't eat anymore!"

"Mea~" Mea raised her head happily, turned around and licked Xiaoxiao's hand to please her, and tried to put her head into the basket in her hand to eat the ready-made dates.

"You can't eat it. You have to sell it for money." Qin Xiaoxiao quickly backed away with the basket. Seeing that Bieya was going to "steal" jujubes from other people's pockets to eat, she quickly put down the basket, pinched its ears and poked it.

He walked into the shed and said, "You stay here and are not allowed to come out."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after locking up the Zaoer thief.

About half an hour later, the big basket with dates was full, and the small basket next to it was also filled with more than half of the basket of dates. The dates in the big basket were large and intact, and they were taken to the city to be sold tomorrow.

; The dates in the small basket are dates that fell to the ground and broke. They will be distributed to the dozens of children who help pick them up.

Guessing that there were enough dates to sell, Dabao got down from the stool and began to distribute the dates to the twenty or thirty children present. There were enough dates in the small basket, so he estimated the quantity and decided to give eight to each child.

.

"Wow, there are eight of them. You can eat them even if you take them home!" Eight didn't seem like many, but it made the children shout happily. Without Dabao reminding them, they lined up consciously and waited for Dabao to share the dates.

Son.

They picked up these dates one by one, knowing that there was not much difference in size. As for whether they were cracked or stained with dust, they would not dislike them at all.

The whole village knew that the Qin family’s jujubes were not only big, but also as sweet as honey. Being able to give them eight jujubes was beyond their expectations. Before they came to help pick up the jujubes, they thought they could get two or three.

Sweet mouth is very good.

In fact, Qin Xiaoxiao and the others were there, so they didn't need the help of these children to pick up the jujubes. But after they learned that the Qin family was going to pick up the jujubes, they came over early to keep watch.

Autumn has entered now, and the vegetation has gradually entered the withering stage, and wild fruits can no longer be found on the mountains. For the children who have little snacks to eat, the Qin family’s jujubes have become their only hope this autumn.

They were too embarrassed to directly ask the Qin family for dates, so they wanted to exchange them with labor. The Qin family would not be reluctant to part with a few dates, and were happy to let Qin Xiaoxiao and the others use them to build a good relationship with the children in the village.

What's more, if these dates cannot be sold in the city, the Qin family will not be able to eat all the densely packed dates hanging on the trees. When the time comes, all the dates will be dropped, and most of them will be distributed to the villagers.

The children who received the dates left the Qin family happily. Dabao looked at the few cracked dates left in the small basket, scooped up a ladle of water, rinsed them briefly, and distributed them to his younger brothers and sisters.

, he also picked up one and took a bite.

"Well, it's so sweet!" Qin Xiaoxiao ate the crispy, sweet and juicy jujubes. He couldn't help but salivate at the jujubes in the big basket that seemed to be more delicious: "Brother, you must get these jujubes."

Are you going to sell it? It’s so delicious, let’s keep it for ourselves!”

Dabao was speechless, and the jujubes on the jujube tree were densely packed and said: "With so many jujubes, our family will have to eat them for many days even if we eat them. If we don't sell them, they should be left to rot. Besides, we can buy back the jujubes with money."

For other things, whether we can have new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year may depend on whether these dates sell well."

Qin Xiaoxiao was about to speak when Mr. Qin and others came back after finishing their work. She immediately forgot what she wanted to say, and greeted her happily, raising the other untouched date in her hand: "Grandpa

, here you go, it’s so sweet!”

Mr. Qin chuckled and touched her cheek with the back of his hand: "Smile, be good. Grandpa's hands are dirty. Please wash them before eating."

Qin Xiaoxiao spread her white and tender palms: "If they are clean, I will feed grandpa."

Mr. Qin squatted down with a smile, opened his mouth and took a bite of the jujube handed over by his granddaughter: "Well, it's very sweet, you can eat it yourself."

Qin Xiaoxiao took a bite of jujube and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.

"There are so many dates, I don't know if they can be sold." Seeing the jujubes piled up in the big basket, Qin Shan picked up one, wiped it on his clothes and stuffed the whole into his mouth: "

The jujubes are good, but I’m afraid no one will know the goods.”

"Just by looking at the size and color, you can tell that they are good jujubes. Someone must be willing to buy them." Lin Qiuniang washed her hands and fetched a basin of water. She put several handfuls of jujubes in the basket, washed them briefly and put them away.

Come to the stool and let everyone eat together.

"Well, the most indispensable thing in our area is jujube trees. When people hear that jujube is called jujube, they will think of its dry and astringent taste, and they will not pay for it." Mrs. Miao looked at the branches.

I don’t really believe that anyone would buy the jujubes.

"Uncle and grandma, don't worry, these dates will be easy to sell." Zhao Xiuxiu came back at some point, and after hearing what Mrs. Miao said, she said with a bit of flattery.

As soon as he heard her voice, there was a sudden silence in the yard. Then, as if he didn't see her or hear what she said, he continued to speculate on whether he could successfully sell the basket of jujubes tomorrow.

Looking at Zhao Xiuxiu with a sad look on her face, Mrs. Miao sighed secretly, smiled slightly and said, "Then I will accept your good advice."

Zhao Xiuxiu listened to her distant words with great excitement on her face: "Uncle, believe me, these dates will definitely be sold and you will make a lot of money."

In the previous life, no one really valued these dates. After all, no one had a date tree in front of or behind their house. Even many people in the city would plant one in their yard. However, the dates produced by those date trees were small and dry, and they were difficult to grow.

With a slightly astringent taste, not many people like to eat it even if it tastes slightly sweet.

Before the Qin family's jujube tree was struck by lightning, the dates it produced were also like this. After being struck by lightning, they became crisp, sweet and juicy. At this time in the previous life, the Qin family also picked the dates to sell in the city. She vaguely remembered that

A rich man passing by took out five taels of silver and bought it directly.

After the news spread, the Qin family went to the city to sell jujubes, and there was no shortage of customers to buy them.

Just by relying on this jujube tree in the yard, the Qin family can save an extra seven or eight taels of silver every year, which is almost more than what they can earn by buying a sex machine for free and working hard in the fields for a whole year.

Many people in the village were interested and said a lot of good things to the Qin family. They cut branches from the jujube trees and took them home to plant. Unfortunately, after these branches grew into jujube trees, the fruits they produced were still small and dry and could not be sold at all.

At that time, there were rumors in the village that the Qin family had good feng shui and that only the Qin family’s jujube trees could grow crisp, sweet and juicy jujubes.

Zhao Xiuxiu knew very well that the so-called good feng shui was due to the existence of Qin Xiaoxiao, which turned the Qin family into a blessed place.

"The dates are gone, I'll wash some more out." Seeing that the dates in the basin were gone, Dabao picked up the basin and prepared to go to the kitchen to scoop out water. Zhao Cao'er scolded: "You bastard, you just know how to eat, don't you?"

You know you have to exchange these for money and you are not allowed to eat them!"

The others ate several in a row, and were completely aroused by the crisp, sweet and juicy jujubes. They originally wanted to eat a few more, but after hearing Zhao Cao'er's words, they suppressed their greed and let Dabao not have to wash them.

.

Although they didn't want to see Zhao Xiuxiu, what she just said gave the Qin family more or less confidence. Naturally, they wanted to keep the dates in exchange for more money, but were reluctant to open their stomachs to eat them.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Dabao eagerly, and saw that he really put down the basin, and nibbled on the jujube flesh on the core with disappointment. She only regretted that her mouth was too small. She only finished two of the jujubes just now.
To be continued...
