Chapter 47: No One Sells Peanuts
After lunch, I went back to work. It seems that there are more peanuts plucked today than there were yesterday.
Probably because everyone is already familiar with it today.
After returning home in the evening, Chen Yang took out the gifts for everyone.
Seeing that Jiajia got her favorite watercolor pen and picture book, Xiaomei Xiaohao got the same different color schoolbag, and Junhui got the basketball he always wanted, Junguang was overjoyed.
Because there's a good chance he'll get the sneakers he's always wanted......
"And Toshimitsu's. Chen Yang poured out the last thing from the snakeskin pouch.
The thing was wrapped in a black plastic bag, boxy, about the size of a shoebox.
Could it really be a pair of sneakers? Junguang's black face was full of expectant smiles.
This brother Chen Yang is also really, I was just arguing with my grandfather to buy me a pair of sneakers, but I didn't expect that after so much time, he still remembered it.
Sure enough, he deserves to be my good brother.
"Thank you, brother. Junguang quickly opened the black plastic bag.
A wad of rolls was revealed......
"You will soon be in the second year of junior high school, and it is not far from the third year of junior high school, you must hurry up and study, this is the mock paper I bought for you, remember to finish it, otherwise it will be a waste of money." I'll buy it for you again during the winter break, and I'll buy it until you get into college. ”
Chen Yang looked at Junguang with a warm and bright face.
Junguang looked at him with a bewildered expression: "Why can they all get what they want, but I can only get this?"
There was despair in his tone.
This is a special two-pound roll! Can you still have a good time?
"Oh, Junguang, you're a big boy, you're thirteen years old, you're not a child anymore, you have to think about your future, you have to study hard, you know?"
Toshimitsu: "......"
"My brother is from here. Chen Yang looked at Junguang and said with a serious face, "At the beginning, my brother just didn't study hard, so now he can only be a farmer facing the loess with his back to the sky, you are still young, and you still have a chance, so you must study hard, you know?"
You've said that, what else can I say?
Chen Yang continued: "Your parents go to work so hard outside, they are reluctant to eat delicious things, and they are reluctant to wear beautiful clothes, the purpose is to let you study hard and have a good future in the future, so you have to work hard no matter what, do you know?"
Several little guys were stunned by Chen Yang's words, and they stopped talking, just nodded blankly, as if thinking about something.
Children are always innocent.
Although Chen Yang's words did not cause them a great touch, they planted seeds in their small hearts.
Maybe at a certain moment one day, when they see that life is not easy and learn about the hardships of their parents, that kind of child will sprout in their hearts and grow vigorously and vigorously.
After returning home, the five pot heads uncharacteristically took out their summer vacation homework......
On Chen Yang's side, he didn't wait for the peanut seller.
Seeing that the sky was about to go completely dark, there was still no sound outside the courtyard gate, and there was no half a figure in sight.
He turned on the street lamp, and the originally dim courtyard was immediately shrouded in pale light, but in the abyssal night, the light seemed a little weak.
When I walked out of the courtyard gate and looked around, I could only hear the sound of the neighbor's reprimanding the child, in addition to seeing the bright lights of the neighbor's yard.
And the person who was supposed to come to sell peanuts did not see a single one.
He was puzzled.
It stands to reason that even if everyone is busy pulling peanuts during the day, it is time to call it a day and go home. Why is it all at this point, but no one comes to sell peanuts?
Could it be that they think the price is too low?
You must know that the sun-dried and shelled peanuts sold in the town are only sold for five yuan a catty, and the purchase price is definitely less than four yuan.
Therefore, he thinks that the purchase price of three yuan a pound he gave is already a high price. Because he harvested fresh peanuts that had just been unearthed. Peanuts have a high water content, and when dried, they only give the average weight of fresh peanuts.
Therefore, as long as the villagers think a little, they can understand that fresh peanuts for three yuan a pound are definitely not cheap.
But why is it that no one has come to sell peanuts yet?
Chen Yang stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at it without giving up, and it was not until the little cadre in the hall let out a cry that he hurriedly returned to the house.
Regardless of whether anyone came to sell peanuts or not, he had to prepare his work step by step.
Washing peanuts and soaking peanuts should not be sloppy.
fed Xiao Qian milk powder, took a bath, and wanted to coax him to sleep, but who knows, this little guy doesn't know if it's because he played too hard with the pot heads today, and now he doesn't feel sleepy at all.
There was no choice but to push the baby stroller into the yard and let Xiao Qian sleep in the corridor.
Even though a child is small, he will be unhappy if he is left alone in the hall.
After Chen Yang fixed the cart, he put down the mosquito net and smiled at Xiao Qian: "Xiao Qian is lying down obediently, Dad wants to wash peanuts." ”
Xiao Qian snorted twice, kicked the little short leg, and the little blanket covering his body ran away.
Chen Yang hurriedly removed the mosquito net, put the blanket back on him, and pretended to be serious: "Baby, you can't always kick off the quilt, otherwise you will catch a cold." ”
Xiao Qian, where does he care about this, as soon as Dad turned around, his little short legs couldn't help it again, and after a few kicks, the little blanket was kicked away again.
As soon as he kicked the blanket away, he let out a string of joyful laughter as if he had completed a huge project.
Although the laughter was not loud, it was like a fluorescent light in the air in this quiet night, dotting the entire sky.
His voice doesn't reverberate on the side of the mountain, nor does it cause any fun animals to dance for him. These bizarre things don't happen!
But his voice sounded like a stimulant to his father, and the tiredness of his body disappeared in an instant.
Although his body was not tired, as long as he thought that no one would sell peanuts today, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
He poured the 100 catties of peanuts he pulled home today into a large basin in batches to clean, and after cleaning, he poured them into a large plastic bucket to soak.
Garlic, star anise, cinnamon, mint leaves, mountain spring water, all the same.
After adding the spices and filling the vats with mountain spring water, the work of the day is completed.
He was about to lock the door of the compound when a light shone in from outside.
