In the past few days, with the help of the pot heads, the peanuts in the field have been almost pulled, even if the pot heads don't come to help today, he can get the rest of the peanuts by himself.
But as soon as he plucked a few peanuts, Jia Jia called out to his brother and galloped over.
Seeing that she was out of breath, Chen Yang thought that something was wrong with the fourth grandfather, so he hurriedly walked over to meet her.
"Jiajia, what's wrong?"
Jiajia stood in front of Brother Chen Yang, supported his knees with both hands, and after swallowing hard, he said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here to think, I want to tell you, we can't help you pull peanuts today." โ
"That's it?" Chen Yang rubbed Jiajia's pot lid, a little funny.
That's why you need to be like this.
Jia Jia straightened up, slapped his brother's palm open, nodded, and swallowed again.
Chen Yang smiled: "It's okay, there is still a little peanut left, and I can pull it out by myself." โ
"Hmm. Jiajia licked her dry lips, looked up at Brother Chen Yang with an innocent expression, and asked, "Brother, are you poor now?"
"Huh?" Chen Yang was stunned, "Jiajia, why do you ask that?"
How can even a child like Jiajia who is less than ten years old know that I am poor?
"Grandma said that the people in the village don't sell you peanuts because they are afraid that you will not be able to pay for them. Jiajia Tong was unscrupulous, and directly told his brother the gossip he heard from home.
Chen Yang should have thought of this a long time ago. But he didn't expect it. He thought that the villagers did not sell peanuts because they were not satisfied with the price.
Now he knew that they were afraid that he would not be able to pay the money.
Does this count as a dog's eye looking down on people?
Of course not.
Chen Yang is well aware of his current situation, and he can fully understand that the villagers are reluctant to sell peanuts to him.
If it were him, he would definitely not dare to sell peanuts to a single man who had just run away from his wife and was alone with his children.
So he has nothing to complain about the villagers' practices. At most, it's just self-deprecation, and I'm so useless now.
He laughed and said, "Hahaha, did your grandma really say that?"
Jiajia nodded: "Yes, grandma also said that no one in the village is willing to sell peanuts to you, so you won't be able to make money to raise Xiaoqian." โ
With that, Jia Jia couldn't help but run to the stroller and put the lid of her pot on the mosquito net, so that she could see her little nephew up close.
My poor little Qian, my aunt will work hard to save pocket money to support you in the future.
"It's fine. Chen Yang also walked over, patted Jiajia's pot lid and said, "As long as I am here, I will definitely not be hungry, you can rest assured." โ
"That's right. Jiajia frowned and said, "But what if Xiao Qian wants to eat chicken legs and you don't have the money to buy them?"
"He's so young that he can't eat chicken legs. Chen Yang corrected.
"But he's going to grow up. Jiajia pouted, looked at the little nephew who was lying in the cart and smiled at her, and wanted to reach out to hug him, but felt that she couldn't hug him.
She had to hurry home.
She turned to Chen Yang and said, "I have to go home to help grandma pull peanuts, grandma went to tell the second grandmother and the third grandmother early this morning that she wanted to pull peanuts and sell them to you, Brother Junguang and they all went to help their grandmother pull peanuts, and I also have to go home to help grandma pull peanuts." โ
Although her labor is really not worth mentioning, it is good to be able to help her grandmother pick peanuts on the sidelines.
Only then did Chen Yang know why a few little guys didn't come to help today, it turned out that the fourth grandmother mobilized the other two grandmothers to pull peanuts together, the purpose was to support him.
They didn't even know what he was buying peanuts for. But just because he is Chen Yang, they will support him unconditionally.
In that case, let's go for it!
Forge ahead in one direction, strengthen yourself, and repay the lovely people who have helped you with your actions.
In the evening, before the sun set, Chen Yang had already plucked out the last bit of peanuts.
He carried Xiao Qian on his back and pushed the wheelbarrow back to the yard, and before he could untie Xiao Qian from his back, the three grandmothers walked in with pot lids.
"Brother, look, we're bringing you peanuts. "Jiajia ran at the forefront this time, and there was some grass foam on the lid of the pot, looking like a bandit.
She ran to Chen Yang's side, touched Xiao Qian's ass with her little hand through the strap, and stood on tiptoe, trying to make a grimace at the little nephew on her brother's back.
However, she is not tall enough.
Three grandmothers each pushed a wheelbarrow into the yard.
Junguang Junhui was very kind to help untie the strap on the unicycle and push the peanut off the car.
Among the three grandmothers, the second grandmother is the smallest, the thinnest, the shortest, and the oldest.
The third grandmother is slightly younger, but the body shape is diametrically opposed to the second grandmother. She was very fat, and when she walked, the flesh on her body shook and shook.
The fourth grandmother is the youngest and the best in shape, and she is also the only one of the three grandmothers with long hair. Her long hair was not long, just a little past her shoulders, tied up at the lowest position with a black rubber band, commonly known as a low ponytail.
Chen Yang looked at the three grandmothers who were dirty all over, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
If it weren't for helping him, I guess they wouldn't have worked so hard to make themselves so virtuous. Even the fourth grandmother, who has always loved beauty, is covered in mud, and there are a few peanut vine leaves in her hair.
"Xiaoyang, what are you doing in a daze? Put Xiaoqian down quickly and come over and weigh peanuts." The fourth grandmother said.
The second grandmother was small and didn't talk much, and when she saw Chen Yang staring at the six packs of peanuts on the ground, she just smiled slightly.
The third grandmother said, "Is it that we have too many peanuts that scare Xiaoyang?"
Six packs, although not very big, but each pack also has dozens of catties.
Chen Yang hurriedly came back to his senses and smiled: "No, no, three grandmothers, you sit down and rest for a while, I bought watermelon today, let's eat some watermelon first." โ
As soon as he heard that there was a watermelon to eat, the five pots were overjoyed, and trotted to follow Chen Yang's brother into the hall.
Three grandmothers followed.
Seeing Chen Yang take out two large watermelons, the fourth grandmother hurriedly said, "Xiaoyang, it's enough to cut one, don't waste it." โ
If it was in the middle of summer, when watermelons were only sold for three or four cents a catty, the fourth grandmother would definitely not stop him.
But now that this time period has arrived, the price of watermelons has risen sharply, and it has been sold for one yuan and one catty.
A large watermelon has to sell for several dollars, and two large watermelons are estimated to cost about twenty yuan.
That's almost a pound of pork.
Chen Yang said with a smile while cutting the watermelon: "It's not wasteful, how can it be said that it is wasteful for you to eat? Besides, I bought this watermelon to give them a few pot lids to eat." โ
"You're the pot head!" the five little ones shouted in unison, their eyes spewing resentment at him.
Then they each looked at their grandmother, who was smiling heartlessly and sitting against the wall on a small bench.
"Grandma, I'm going to change my hairstyle. Jiajia pressed the back of the fourth grandmother and said coquettishly.
"Grandma, I'm going to change my hairstyle too. Xiaomei and Xiaohao held the arms of the third grandmother left and right, and kept shaking.
Junguang and Junhui are little men after all, so they won't do childish things like being coquettish.
They thought to themselves, when there is no one at home, why not just change the hairstyle themselves?
