At this time, Father Chen and the others had already filled two buckets of citrus, and Shao Ke immediately picked them up and went home. Grandpa told him to slow down, and he nodded and said yes.

Picking it up and walking slowly, Dad Chen looked at the remaining three citrus trees, which should be able to be picked this afternoon.

Grandpa and Daddy Chen looked around, and after Daddy Chen finished reading, he found that a lot of new citrus branches had grown, and he turned around several times before saying, "Dad, we will finish beating walnuts tomorrow and cut the extra branches on this citrus tree." ”

Grandpa smiled and said okay, Shao Ke also rested several times like in the morning, and finally picked it home.

I opened the door and put it in the hall, and then closed the door and went out, and the clothes on my body were already wet. I had to take a shower at night and wash my hair by the way.

Shaofen and her mother went to the shore of the field and began to dry the grain grass once, which had been drying for two days, and the color was lighter.

The two mothers and daughters were basking quickly, Shaoke walked quickly, and it didn't take long to arrive, and Chen's father had already picked up two small baskets and put them there.

When he came, Grandpa helped put them into the bucket one by one, and Dad and Shaoke climbed up the wooden ladder and began to cut.

At this time, the sun is gone, and the weather is not so hot. Dad cut it quickly, and so did Shao.

After a while, Shaofen and her mother also finished drying, and the two mothers and daughters went home and prepared to warm up the bathwater.

An hour later, the three of them finally finished cutting, packed up their tools, and prepared to go home. Shaoke carried the bucket, and his grandfather and father went home against the wooden ladder.

Soon returned to her house, my mother saw that they were back, called them with a smile, and then said with a smile: "After picking, Aunt Guo has already sent food, all of which are ready." ”

Grandpa nodded and said yes, and the family went to wash their hands and prepare to finish eating.

Shaofen and her mother served all the food, and everyone sat down and began to eat. Grandpa said as he ate, "Wait a minute, I'm done."

Divide the citrus in the bucket, put the big ones together, and put the small ones together, so that it looks better and will sell better. ”

Chen's father said while eating, "I know Dad." ”

Looking at the five buckets of citrus, Shao Ke stopped eating the vegetables and said, "Dad, can we sell them out tomorrow? Shall we go to the street together tomorrow to sell them?"

Grandpa took a bite of the dish before saying: "Tomorrow we will all go as a family, and strive to sell it out, the big one is two yuan a catty, the cheapest one is one pound, the small one is one pound, and the cheapest one yuan is a pound."

If you can't sell it out and sell it the day after tomorrow, it's still at this price, and if you can't sell it out at noon, you will sell it for one yuan and a catty. It's not good to put it for a long time. ”

The two brothers and sisters nodded and said yes, Chen's mother looked at them and said loudly: "You have to learn to do business, tomorrow there will be five buckets together, there is only one scale, and when looking for money, you should pay attention to it and recognize the truth from the fake."

When you weigh it, you have to see it clearly, so that people will recognize it, and you have to weigh it enough, which is a stalk scale, unlike an electronic scale.

We weren't at home for the first two years, and you sold it yourself, and your grandfather should have taught you that. ”

The two siblings nodded yes, and after the family finished eating, they got busy. Shaofen went to wash the dishes. The rest of the people separated the citrus.

Handle the citrus carefully and separates the large and small ones from all the others.

After Shaofen finished washing, he also came over to divide and separated the scarred epidermis, and it took a long time before the division was finished.

The family stood up, thumped their legs, and squatted on the ground for a long time, and their feet were numb.

Looking at the evenly sized citrus in each basket, the family breathed a sigh of relief, and it looked slightly better this way.

The family went to take a shower one after another. After washing, close the door and go back to sleep.

The next morning, the roosters crowed outside, and the family got up at half past six. The noodles were quickly cooked, and the family washed their faces and brushed their teeth before eating them.

After eating quickly, clean up, Shaofen fed the family's livestock, and she stayed at home alone.

Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Shao Ke each went out with two buckets of citrus, and grandpa carried a basket with scales and pockets in it, and followed behind.

In order to be in a hurry, Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't rest, and they kept picking on the street in one breath before letting go.

Today is a market, the streets are full of people, selling a lot of things, and I can hear the sound of selling from a long distance.

Grandpa walked the fastest, first find a good place, Chen's father and Chen's mother arrived, grandpa told them to put down, the position is a little in the middle, because everyone wants to sell, so they will be placed next to each other.

They sold next to the lady who sold corn, and when Shaoke came, there was no place for them, so they had to line up on the side.

Grandpa and Chen's father and Chen's mother have already begun to shout loudly, big, round and sweet citrus, everyone come and buy it, two yuan a catty.

After Shaoke put it down, he also shouted and sold, five citrus pieces, uncles and aunts come to buy it, it's delicious. I promise to eat it and want to eat it.

The villagers who were passing by looked and no one came, because they might have to buy other things.

Chen's father and Chen's mother shouted for a while, and then someone came, asked the price, and turned to leave.

Shao Ke continued to shout loudly, and at this time, two mothers-in-law came over, asked the price, and began to talk about the small one, which may not be sweet.

Shaoke hurriedly took out a knife, cut one open and gave it to her mother-in-law to taste, and after her mother-in-law ate it, she nodded to each other and said, "It's okay, young man, let's have less." We buy two catties. ”

Shaoke immediately smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, this is our own home, we have to remove insects, apply chemical fertilizer, cut branches, and pick them by ourselves every year, which costs a lot."

There will only be so much, and this price is just the money for the fertilizer sold. It can't be less, mother-in-law buy two catties. ”

The two mothers-in-law had no choice but to say okay, Shaoke hurriedly went to grandpa, took some pockets, and asked the two mothers-in-law to load them themselves.

Chen's father and Chen's mother are now three people in the selection, the family is watching from the side, and after a long time, they have chosen one after another, and Chen's father took the scale and gave them the scale, and said how much money it was.

The three guests took out the money and gave it to Chen's mother, and Chen's mother carefully looked at the truth before making up the money for them. They carried it away.

I looked at it, and it was sold for thirty yuan just now. At this time, Shao Ke's two mothers-in-law there were also selected, and his grandfather gave him the scales, and Shao Ke immediately weighed them, and everyone bought six catties, and Shao Ke said the amount of money.

The two mothers-in-law gave it immediately, but Shaoke saw the truth and made up the money, and the two mothers-in-law took it and left.

This time it was sold for twelve catties and sold for eighteen yuan. Shaoke immediately shouted again.

With the passage of time and the rising of the sun, Chen's father and Chen's mother have already sold a basket of buckets, about 50 catties, and sold for more than 100 yuan.

Shao Ke also sold half a basket, about thirty catties, and there were dozens of yuan.

The number of people on the street gradually decreased, and the people who had finished selling their things left one after another. Later, Chen's father and Chen's mother sold another bucket, about 60 catties, all of which were sold for two yuan a catty.

Shaoke later sold out a basket of buckets, adding up to about sixty catties, there were very few people on the street, it was almost noon, everyone had to go back to eat, and the sun was also very big.

Chen's father and Chen's mother had no choice but to clean up, pick up the remaining citrus, and prepare to go home, telling Shaoke to leave too, and Shaoke nodded and said okay.

Put the rest in two buckets and start carrying home. Grandpa followed with a basket on his back. Mom picked the empty baskets, and Dad picked the remaining two baskets, so they had to sell them again tomorrow.

The family slowly picked it up, Shaofen had already dried the millet and peanuts at home, fed the chickens, ducks and pigs, and carried the family's clothes to wash.

After washing, it was already sunburned outside, and at this time she was starting to cook. It was almost noon, and it took a lot of time to do the laundry.

By the time Shao Ke and they came back, Shaofen had already cooked the rice and was stir-frying. Shaoke and Chen's father put the bucket in the hall, and everyone sat down and counted the money sold today to see how much it was.

Chen's father and Chen's mother ordered it three times, they sold it for two hundred and twenty-six yuan, and Shao Ke also counted it three times, he sold it for eighty-six yuan and gave the money to his father.

Dad counted all the money again, a total of three hundred and twelve yuan, and he immediately smiled and said, "It's not bad, if you sell the rest, it may be about two hundred and sixteen." In the end, only to sell cheaply. ”

Grandpa nodded yes, Chen's mother has already gone to the kitchen to help with the stir-fry.

The three of them went to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

After a while, the rice was finally cooked. Everyone started to have lunch.

Shaofen looked at the remaining citrus and asked how much it was sold? Dad said, Shaofen smiled and said, "It's okay, continue tomorrow, go hunt walnuts this afternoon, and sell them again tomorrow." ”

Dad said as he ate, "Okay, wait until after four o'clock in the afternoon before you go out." ”

While the family was eating, they were discussing the price of walnuts, how much did they sell in the first two years, and what was the price?

Grandpa and the two siblings remembered, because after the two of them beat the walnuts, their hands were black and yellow, and they washed them with soap, washed them with soap, washed them with soap, and washed them for several days before they were not so dirty.

There are a few walnut trees that are very tall, and the two brothers and sisters finally finished fighting, and the ones that grow on the top have to not be beaten because they can't be beaten.

Standing on a high branch, I was afraid that I would fall, and the walnuts were sold for thirteen yuan a catty, also because it was difficult to beat.

There are more than two dozen walnut trees in the house, and they are planted for three days every year.

After eating, Shaofen cleaned up the dishes and went to wash.

The mother went to dry the grain, and the grandfather and grandson went to rest.

After Shaofen and her mother were busy, they also went to rest.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the family got up one after another. Mom and dad said, "Shaofen and I are going to dry the grain, you go and fight, be careful." ”

Father Chen smiled and said yes, wearing a straw hat and holding two thick ropes, and walked forward against the wooden ladder.

Grandpa carried a basket on his back and held two long bamboo poles, about five meters long, walking in the middle, and rarely walking behind against a wooden ladder.

After they left, the door was closed, and Shaofen and her mother also went out.

The walnut tree is very close to home, and it will be there in a moment.

The grandfather and grandson put down the things in their hands and began to walk into the walnut tree, looked around carefully, and saw that a few walnuts had fallen on the ground.

The three grandfathers and grandsons put on canvas gloves and began to pick them up, peeling off the shells to see.
