Chapter 363: Picking Peanuts and Beating Peas 1

Children can do the job of picking peanuts and beating soybeans.

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

The peanut seedlings are still lush and green, growing very pleasantly and cutely. Some of them are still blooming with small yellow flowers. Those who don’t know think these peanuts are not yet mature.

Children pick peanuts at 20 cents per pound.

After all, the children are lively and active, and the wages cannot be counted, so they can only count pieces.

In front of the villagers, Xiao Lingyu had some money in her hands, but she would not be abusive to the children's habit of asking for money at will.

It must be hard work and rewarding!

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

Because I have money to pick peanuts at Xiao Lingyu's house, the parents of the children are of course happy to go over and help.

Xiao Lingyu asked Xiao Xiaohui to take his friends to the field. Because it was a price meter, there was a small basket in front of everyone, and there was a meter next to them.

When the small frame basket is full, you can weigh it, and then pour it into the large frame.

Xiao Lingyun will do a statistics for these children.

For the three acres of peanuts, more than a dozen women pulled the peanuts out of the field and placed them neatly aside.

Later, the children picked it.

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

More than a dozen people pulled out almost two acres of land in one morning.

“The flower grows so much and evenly.”

After pulling out the peanuts, many people saw the dense peanuts growing together, one by one, which was simply incredible,"

It grows a lot, and the peanuts are still big. How did their family grow them?"

It's fine with strawberries.

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

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

"What's strange about this."

The person next to him said for granted,

"The things they produce now are not good. Don't talk about strawberries, we won't know how to grow them either.

Just talk about vegetables, vegetables are planted differently, and ordinary vegetables can be sold at high prices. Now that peanuts are grown so well, it is nothing strange."

"That's right. Peanuts are so good, so these soybeans are probably good."

"That must be. However, Xiao Lingyu has grown so many peanuts and soybeans. Should they be sold or used for oil extraction?"

"If you ask me, I don't know. I'll know then." Someone said with a smile.

On the other side, each child brought a small stool over, then carried the peanuts pulled out by the adults and put them in a pile, and then sat on the side to pick peanuts specifically.

Of course, on this hot day, there were a few big parasols in the ground.

Two children looked at the raw peanuts in their hands, then looked at the others, and then peeled off the peanut shells and put them in their mouths.

"Wow, these peanuts are so delicious. They are sweet and fragrant." After the child secretly tasted the raw peanuts, he couldn't help but be surprised.

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

Fat buns said a little 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 to eat it, you will eat peanuts specifically, instead of picking peanuts."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiaohui said with his eyes wide open, "If you eat peanuts again, then go back and don't pick peanuts."

Xiao Xiaohui is actually not a stingy person either.

But here are seventeen or eighteen friends, if you eat peanuts, they also eat peanuts. I guess they may have eaten all the peanuts before they have been picked.

It’s wrong to eat all the peanuts and delay doing things.

When Fat Baozi heard Xiao Xiaohui's words, he immediately curled his lips and said, "Okay, if you don't eat it, don't eat it. I will continue to pick peanuts."

To be honest, the peanuts at Sister Xiao Niu’s house are really delicious, sweet, crispy, and delicious, and are even better than the peanuts he had eaten before.

He still wants to eat.

However, he still prefers money.

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

If you pick 2 cents of peanuts per pound, 2 cents of peanuts, and ten pounds are only two pieces, he can definitely pick 50 pounds of peanuts.

Fifty pounds cost ten yuan.

In the end, the fat buns still dominated money.

But looking at these peanuts, I drooled.

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

Because of going to the ground, Lulu and Rourou wore long-sleeved pink skirts, with a big bow on the back and a pair of white leggings to prevent mosquito bites.

These days, with the Xiao family trying their best to supplement their nutrition, Xiao's mother secretly gave them some spiritual spring water. Now her complexion is getting better and better. Her complexion is no longer so sallow, and her flesh is getting older, so she looks more lively.

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

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

"But mother, why do peanuts grow underground, not on the branches?" Lulu asked.

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

She just knew that peanuts were the fruits that grew on the roots.

"Mom, why are there little yellow flowers on the peanut seedlings?" asked the curious baby Lulu.

As a semi-illiterate Xiao Lingyun, "..." she still doesn't know.

Although I read it when I was studying, she has been studying for too long and has forgotten it.

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

Xiao Lingyun said intimately, "It's terrible to be uneducated. It seems that you have to pick up the textbooks and read more. At least when you have any questions, you don't know anything about it."

More importantly, buy a 100,000 yuan book first.

Xiao Lingyun said to the child honestly, "Baby, these mothers don't know."

The expression on Lulu's little face was obviously a little disappointed, and she said, "Oh, mom doesn't know."

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

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

Lulu's eyes lit up suddenly, and she nodded and replied, "Yes, OK."

Afterwards, the two sisters were immersed in the fun of picking peanuts.

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

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

Everyone here is very kind to them. They will give them something delicious first and have fun first. There are many children here who will play with them.

However, they were always worried that their grandparents would suddenly appear here, scold them fiercely, and start beating and scolding them again, asking them to work.

But my mother and grandmother told them that their grandparents and grandmother would never appear in front of them again in the future, so don’t worry, don’t be afraid.

Is this true?

Will grandpa, grandma and aunt really not appear again?

They are still very suspicious now.

Although Xiao Lingyun protected the two children in the Cheng family, the way the Cheng family treated them had a shadow in their hearts.

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

Perhaps, when they grow up slightly, they may be scared after they know that their grandparents and aunts were caught in prison.

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

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

After pulling two acres of peanuts in the morning, they finished pulling out the remaining acres of land in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, in addition to a dozen children, there were also some elderly people, and there were also fifteen or sixteen.

Due to their physical reasons, these elderly people do not invite them to work in their daily work, and they have no other income except farming and growing vegetables.

Of course, some people also go to collect herbs and sell them. After a month, they also earn some small income.

But there are not many after all.

Now that I heard that Xiao Lingyu's family needs manpower to pick peanuts, a few old people are shameless and look for Grandma Xiao. Grandma Xiao is so soft-hearted that more than a dozen old people come over.

Like these children, they are all priced.

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