At noon, when Xiao Qian fell asleep, Chen Yang took the fourth uncle and began to prepare the sauce.

From today, they don't buy peanuts anymore.

This matter has been informed to all the aunts who sent peanuts to sell last night, and a notice has also been issued in the purchase group.

Therefore, this morning is the last time that the fourth uncle will deliver saltwater peanuts.

And the production of unique saltwater peanuts is naturally coming to an end.

After returning home, the fourth uncle made up for sleep, and after lunch, he followed Chen Yang to prepare the spices for making mountain pepper.

Once the spices are ready, the preparation process begins.

Because the fourth uncle was in contact with the production of mountain pepper sauce for the first time, Chen Yang had to teach patiently on the side, about the thickness of the spices, and the order of putting them into the pot, they were all sloppy.

Because of the pursuit of perfection, in the evening, the pepper has not yet entered the pot, but the villagers who come to sell the pepper come one after another.

"Oh, Wen'en, is your big bag full of mountain pepper?" came the voice of the fourth grandmother at the gate of the courtyard.

"yes. Lu Wenen laughed twice, "Both." ”

"This bag should be more than fifty pounds. ”

"I don't know. Lu Wenen smiled, "I won't know until I get off the scale." ”

Chen Yang walked out of the backyard with the fourth uncle and helped everyone weigh the mountain peppers one by one.

Sure enough, Lu Wenen picked the most, a full fifty-five catties.

"How much does this cost?" exclaimed the fourth grandmother, "I guess I won't be able to pick so much even if I pick it for two days." ”

"I'll do the math. Chen Yang took out his mobile phone and calculated, 55*5, "Hey, it's pretty good." ”

Chen Yang looked at the final figure and said with a smile: "You earned two hundred and seventy-five yuan in one day." ”

"Huh?" Lu Wenen was stunned for a moment, "How much?"

“275。 Chen Yang turned his mobile phone to Lu Wenen and showed it to Lu Wenen.

Lu Wenen looked at the numbers on his phone, his eyes were shining, and he was even brighter than seeing a glamorous young @woman.

Grandma Lu on the side was also taken aback when she heard Chen Yang's report: "Is it so much?

She carried the snakeskin bag in front of her forward and handed it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang lifted the bag in her hand, put it on the scale, then looked at the strings of red numbers on the scale, and slapped her head violently: "Oh, why am I so stupid? ”

"Hahaha. The crowd burst into laughter.

After Grandma Lu's mountain pepper was weighed, there were 25 catties, 125 yuan, plus Lu Wenen's 275 yuan, exactly 400.

Chen Yang gave four red banknotes to Lu Wenen and asked Lu Wenen to argue whether they were true or false, and then Lu Wenen handed over the money to Grandma Lu, saying that he wanted to save all the money for Grandma Lu.

Although Grandma Lu was also excited and happy this time, she didn't burst into tears like yesterday, she just smiled from ear to ear.

After Grandma Lu's mountain pepper was weighed, Lu Xiahua's mountain pepper was left without being weighed.

She stood at the back, her neck hunched and her head hung down, not looking at how much others were selling, nor caring about what they were saying.

What she was thinking about was that her younger siblings were about to start school, Sanhua would be sent to the town's middle school, and Sihua and her sixth brother would be sent to Xinwu Village, and then picked up every day.

The problem is that the registration time happens to be the same day, so she estimated that she would have to take her four children to Xinwu Estate to sign up for the three children first, and then go to the town.

Alas, a headache.

It's not easy to go to town with four children, as soon as they see something delicious, they all clamore to eat, and when they see something fun, they also compete to buy it, and it is estimated that the little money saved this summer is just enough for them to spend.

But that's okay, they're happy.

"Xia Hua, why don't you take your mountain pepper and weigh it?" Chen Yang raised his head, his gaze crossed everyone's shoulders, and looked at Lu Xiahua on the outermost side.

Lu Xiahua's hair was unkempt by the thorns of the trees in the mountains, and it looked like a chicken coop.

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh.

There is absolutely no sarcasm in this laugh, I just think that she can cut her long hair short, but she wants to keep it, this stubbornness is a little cute.

Perhaps, the long hair that symbolizes the identity of a girl is a unique little beauty for her.

Chen Yang said: "Yours is the only one left." ”

"Oh. Xia Hua hurriedly picked up the snakeskin bag and stepped forward.

Chen Yang weighed the mountain pepper in the snakeskin bag, and it was only twenty-one catties.

While handing over the money to Xia Hua, he joked: "Look at you, such a young person, you don't pick as much as Grandma Lu." ”

Grandma Lu smiled: "Oh, Xia Hua is so young, how can there be more mountain roads I know." I've walked all over the mountains in this village. ”

"That is, Xia Hua is only eighteen years old, and she has to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, and she has to work, so it is not bad to be able to pick twenty catties. The fourth grandmother glared at Chen Yang and said, "If it were you and you were asked to take care of the four children, it is estimated that you would have to be busy and make a mess of everything." ”

"Haha, that is, if you are half capable of Xia Hua, then I dare to say, you can choose the girls in the whole village. ”

Everyone helped Xia Hua speak, and squeezed Chen Yang vigorously.

Chen Yang wants to cry without tears, I am digging a pit for myself.

In the face of everyone's good-natured jokes, Xia Hua didn't speak, but just kept smiling politely.

Then, after Chen Yang returned the snakeskin bag to her, she left silently.

"She's not like that. The fourth grandmother looked at Xia Hua's lonely back, recalled what she looked like when she was a child, and her brows couldn't help frowning, "She was very cheerful when she was a child." ”

"Yes, what a good girl, why did her personality become like this?"

"I don't seem to have spoken to her all year round, and every time I want to talk to her, she just smiles and doesn't talk much. ”

"Alas. ”

Everyone was a little sorry.

Xia Hua was indeed not such a person originally.

In the past, she was very cheerful and lively, as happy as a bird in spring, as free as a fish in summer, as enthusiastic as a maple leaf in autumn, and more like an ice bar hanging on a high mountain top in winter, no matter how cold the wind was, she could always exude a different brilliance.

But I don't know when she no longer likes to deal with the people in the village, and she no longer interacts too much with the people in the village.

If she really can't hide, she will also communicate with everyone in a very polite manner.

And when did all this begin?

Perhaps, the answer is only known to Xia Hua herself.

Back at home, looking at the messy yard, Xia Hua put down the snakeskin bag, walked to the corner, picked up a bamboo broom, and cleaned up the yard without saying a word.

The yard was huge, and it took her more than half an hour to clean it.

Sanhua Wuhua didn't know where to play, and Sihua was left at home to take care of his younger brother.

She lit a fire to the pile of sawdust and plastic bags and milk cartons, and burned them all.

Then start feeding the chickens and preparing dinner.

When it got dark, Sanhua Wuhua ran back from outside.

Sanhua wears a beautiful dress and two small pigtails, and in the dim twilight, she looks like a little princess who came out of a fairy tale.

Although Wuhua doesn't know how to dress up, she is also wearing cute cartoon clothes, coupled with her round little face and fair skin, she looks like a cutie in the comics.

Seeing that the two of them were each holding a can of milk in their hands, Xia Hua blocked the door of the hall with an expressionless face, stared at the two and asked coldly, "Where did the milk come from?"

Wuhua was a little timid, and hurriedly hid the milk in her hand behind her.

Sanhua raised her chin, raised the milk in her hand, and said proudly: "Hmph, this is given to us by someone else." ”

"Who gave it. Xia Hua knew what kind of milk it was, and this milk was often seen in TV commercials, it was Wangzi milk in a red tin can.

The kiosk in the new housing estate sells a can for six yuan.

Ordinary people would not be willing to give away such two large jugs of milk to others.

Sanhua didn't seem to care about her sister's angry eyes, she still raised her pretty little face, and said brightly: "Anyway, it was given by others, neither we stole it nor we robbed it, what do you care so much for? I'm not a child anymore." ”

"I ask you who gave it. Xia Hua suddenly scolded loudly.

Wuhua was startled, and the milk hidden behind her with her backhand fell to the ground with a click, and then her two big eyes were immediately filled with tears, and she said very aggrievedly: "Yes, it was given by the person called 'Big Basket'." He really gave it. ”

Xia Hua knew that her voice was too loud and scared her sister, so she hurriedly squatted down, hugged the thin little Wuhua, and said in a gentle and reproachful tone:

"Wuhua, how many times has my sister told you, you can't just ask for other people's things, you can't ask for it, you can't ask for it, why don't you always listen to your sister. Especially the things of the old men in the village who don't have wives you can't ask for, and you definitely can't go to their houses, why are you so disobedient?"

Her arm strained slightly, hugging the five flowers tightly, and her eyes suddenly became wet.

Wuhua looked up at the eldest sister, raised her little palm, and sobbed: "Sister, I, I remember, I will never ask for their things again, I will never talk to them again, when I see them, I will run away." Don't cry. ”

She wiped the tears from her sister's face, and used her thin little palm to brush away the messy hair on her sister's face.

Suddenly, as if she understood something, she immediately broke free from her sister's embrace, picked up the milk that had just fallen on the ground, held it high above her head, and threw it with all her might.

The can of milk had arced in the air, and when it had fallen to the ground, still intact, she ran over and stomped on the tin can with her foot until all the milk in the jar had been stepped on.

Sanhua looked at her actions and felt a little unreasonable: "You are stupid, won't you give me a drink if you don't drink?"

Xia Hua grabbed her wrist, snatched the milk out of her hand, and threw it at the feet of Wuhua with all her might.

"Let me tell you, Lu Donghua, if you dare to go to those old men's houses in the future and ask for their things, I will cut all your hair and burn all your clothes. ”

Xia Hua stared at Sanhua viciously, gritted her teeth and said, "Also, if this can't cure you, I'll tie you up with a chain that leashes a dog." ”

"Why?" Sanhua riveted all her strength and shouted hysterically at Xia Hua, "You are not my mother, why are you treating me like this, I tell you, my affairs, don't worry about you." ”

"Smack!" Xia Hua slapped Sanhua directly in the face, and then roared at her, "Don't use our mother to press me, what are our mother and our father working hard to make money in other places? Isn't it just to make money to support you for your school? If you don't want to go to school, don't go to school, and honestly follow me into the mountains to work in the future." If you want to go to school, then you can be obedient to me. ”

Sanhua looked at her sister in disbelief.

It was the first time in her life that she had been beaten. My sister had never beaten her before. This is the first time.

She had red eyes and glared angrily at her sister.

But her sister didn't give her a chance to refute, grabbed her by the collar, and tore her beautiful skirt hard......

"In the future, you are not allowed to wear skirts, and you are not allowed to dress up all day long. Xia Hua threw the ripped fabric on the ground, stomped her feet hard, and then pulled the stunned Sanhua and pushed her into the room, rudely changing her into ordinary clothes.

This is domestic violence, this is child abuse. It's another slap and another tearing of clothes, where is this what a sister should do? This is clearly a bully behavior.

Chen Yang wanted to see where there was mountain pepper in the mountains, but he happened to see this scene.

He didn't expect that Lu Xiahua, who usually doesn't say a word, would sprinkle all her temper on her sisters after returning home. Seeing that she looks so well-behaved, but she doesn't want to be such a different person.

Poor Sanhua.

Chen Yang looked at Sanhua, who was sitting on the edge of the table, crying, and eating amid his sister's scolding, and felt very uncomfortable.

"This Lu Xiahua is too bad. Chen Yang couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

"I don't think you should jump to conclusions until you get to the bottom of the story. The system said suddenly.

"What truth?" Chen Yang asked in his heart.

"Xiaoyang, why are you in a daze. The fourth uncle pushed Chen Yang: "Look, this mountain pepper has been fried like this, can it?"

Chen Yang came back to his senses, glanced at the pepper in the pot, and quickly nodded: "Oh, okay." ”

After making the mountain pepper sauce, the uncle and nephew stayed up all night to put the mountain pepper sauce into a glass jar.

Then early the next morning, Chen Yang and the fourth uncle first washed the mountain pepper that they collected last night and dried it, and then took the mountain pepper sauce to the city with the two brothers Junguang Junhui as agreed.

Xiaomei Xiaohao and Jiajia both came to see off the two brothers, and the eyes were so earnest that Chen Yang and the fourth uncle couldn't help laughing.

After getting into the car, Chen Yang glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Junguang Junhui, why did Xiaomei and them all come to see you off just now?"

The subtext is, your brother and I often go far away, and I haven't seen them come to see me off, why can you have this treatment?

Junguang Junhui glanced at each other, laughed twice, and then said in unison, "I won't tell you." ”
