It wasn't until after cleaning that Shao Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and Shaofen also cleaned the house.

The millet and peanuts in the yard were taken back, the chickens and ducks were taken home, the pigs were fed, and Shaofen Shaoke washed his hands and face.

Grandpa also cooked the meal, and after the family washed their hands, they began to eat, and the grandfather said while eating, "Tomorrow we will get up early and kill the chickens and ducks, and your parents will come back to eat delicious." ”

The two brothers and sisters nodded and said okay, and when they finished eating, Shaofen washed the dishes, Shaofen took a hot bath, and went to bed early tonight.

It wasn't until they were done that the family went to sleep.

The next morning, the grandfather got up at seven o'clock and immediately called Shaofen Shaoke, and the two siblings got up quickly, thinking that their parents would come home today, and the family was very happy.

Shaofen cooked breakfast, and Grandpa and Shaoke dried the peanuts and rice and fed the livestock. After cooking, the family ate.

After eating quickly, Grandpa and Shaoke went to the courtyard outside to catch chickens and ducks, and the chickens and ducks in the morning were very lively, and it took a lot of time for grandparents and grandchildren to catch them.

Shaofen picked up the dirty clothes in the wooden bucket and washed them, grandpa and Shao Ke began to boil water to kill chickens and ducks, and Shaofen came back after washing the clothes.

After Shaofen dried her clothes, she also came to help.

Everyone slaughtered the chickens and ducks together and began to cook the rice.

After a busy morning, I finally cooked six dishes, four vegetables, and two meat dishes. Looking at the sun outside, looking forward to the return of my parents.

Dry the millet and peanuts in the yard, and my parents haven't come back yet.

The meal was served, it was almost twelve o'clock at this time, and the three grandfathers and grandsons saw the sun and hoped that their parents would come back soon.

At about one o'clock, Mom and Dad finally returned.

When the grandfather and grandson saw them, they laughed and shouted to their parents to eat.

The family rarely saw each other, and there was a lot to say after meeting.

The family sat down and began to eat, talking as they ate, asking each other about it.

The food tasted good, and everyone ate a lot. After eating, Shaofen packed up the dishes and went to wash.

Mom and Dad took out the new clothes they bought and put them on for Grandpa and their two children.

Chen's father and Chen's mother were tired from the car, so they hurried to sleep.

Grandpa turned the millet and dried it, and the two siblings and grandpa also went to rest. Prepare to dry the grain grass for a while.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen's father and Chen's mother also woke up. After getting up, Grandpa immediately said, "Shaofen Shaoke, let's go dry the grain grass, and your parents will rest today." ”

The two siblings nodded and said yes, and the three grandchildren wore straw hats and left, and soon arrived at the shore of their own family.

When I arrived, I started drying the graingrass, which was very fast, and it didn't take long to finish drying.

After the sun, the three of them went home again, Chen's father and Chen's mother had already washed the clothes and cooked the food.

While they were collecting the millet and peanuts in the yard, the two siblings laughed and called out to their parents, who immediately stopped and said, "You are back." ”

The grandfather and grandson fed the family's livestock and took the dry clothes home.

After being busy at home, start eating dinner.

Dad Chen said while eating: "Dad, what is there left at home that has not been collected? Has the lady who rented the land already given grain?"

Grandpa also said while eating: "I haven't sent it yet, there is grain grass to harvest at the edge of the field, and there are a lot of citrus at home, and there are a lot of fruits this year, and I have to pick them and sell them."

The walnuts on the walnut tree are going to be beaten down, and they are bearing a lot. ”

Dad Chen nodded and said yes, and said while eating, "We're going to pick the citrus tomorrow." When the time comes, pick and sell it. ”

The two siblings nodded and said yes, and Chen's mother also said yes, and fried four vegetarian dishes in the evening.

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

Shaoke went to take a hot bath, and after the heat was good, the family went to take a bath one after another.

After washing, I went to sleep one after another.

The next morning, after seven o'clock, the family got up one after another, and after the grandfather had cooked breakfast, the family had finished eating, and dried the millet and peanuts.

Chen's mother and Shaofen picked out the dirty clothes and washed them, and grandpa and Chen's father, as well as Shao Ke, went out with tools and buckets.

Chen's father resisted the wooden ladder, and his grandfather held two iron scissors, resisting the wooden ladder, and rarely carried a bucket. Walk towards your own citrus tree.

Chen's father planted more than a dozen citrus trees at home, which grew very tall and produced citrus every year.

Sometimes it will tie more, sometimes it will tie less. It is taken off and sold every year. The sun rose, and the three of them quickened their pace.

It didn't take long for him to reach the citrus tree, and Dad lowered the ladder and put the wooden ladder on a citrus tree, which was full of orange-red citrus. Like lanterns hanging on trees.

Dad set up the wooden ladder, took a pair of large iron scissors, put on canvas gloves, and climbed up slowly.

Citrus trees have a lot of thorns on them, and if you are not careful, you will get pricked. Daddy Chen has cut it before, and he will be very careful.

Shaoke put down the basket, put another wooden ladder away, and slowly climbed up. Canvas gloves were also worn.

Grandpa told him to slow down, for fear that he would be stabbed by a thorn.

Chen's father held a small basket with a wooden hook on it, and put the basket away and hung it on a tree.

Dad Chen began to cut, gently pulling the citrus branch with his left hand, holding the iron scissors with his right hand, carefully and slowly cutting.

Shao Ke is also, the sun is slowly rising, sweat is constantly coming out, and Shao Ke pulls the citrus branches over.

Suddenly, I was accidentally stabbed by a thorn, and I screamed 'ouch' and quickly let go. When I took off my gloves, I saw blood flowing from my left hand, and I felt a dull pain.

He quickly took off his right hand as well, and carefully pressed his left hand, not knowing if there was a stab in it.

Shao Ke pressed it for a while, and then put the gloves back on when there was no bleeding. Begin to gently pull through the citrus branches and begin to prune.

Grandpa was holding on to the ladder below, and Dad had already cut a lot, so Shaoke began to carefully put the cut citrus into the small basket.

After a while, Dad had filled the basket, and he carefully removed the wooden hook and slowly lifted it down.

Slowly got down the wooden ladder, carefully put the big and round citrus into the bucket, because it was going to be sold, so it was necessary to cut and put it carefully, if the surface was damaged, people would not buy it.

So you have to handle it gently, these citrus trees have been around for more than ten years, and they were grafted at the beginning, so they will grow big and numerous.

It was all grafted by father and grandfather, and the two siblings were only about two years old at that time. Every year, fertilizer is applied, insects are removed, and weeds are removed, which are usually done by grandpa and dad.

After Dad went out to work, Grandpa did all the work, but when he collected it, the two siblings also came to help, because Mom and Dad had already gone out.

Dad changed the wooden ladder and began to climb up slowly, hung up the basket, put on the gloves, and began to cut.

At this time, Shao Ke also cut the small basket, slowly removed the wooden hook, slowly got down the ladder, and grandpa quickly took it and carefully put the citrus into the bucket one by one.

Shao Ke turned around and changed the ladder to another place, got on the ladder, hung the wooden hook, and began to cut.

Daddy was quick, and it didn't take long for it to fill up again. Remove the wooden hook and slowly descend the ladder.

Shaofen and her mother came to the river, and several aunts were washing, and they greeted them with a smile when they saw them coming.

A few eldest ladies said while washing, "Sister Chen, you're back." ”

Chen's mother smiled and said, "Yes, the child has graduated, come back and see." ”

Several ladies asked Chen's mother about the situation outside, and Chen's mother said while washing: "It's all hard, sometimes ten hours a day."

Sometimes nine, just get paid, it's better than at home. But you also need to save money. Otherwise, it will be used up in vain. ”

Several aunts said the same with a smile, and went back after washing. It didn't take long for Shaofen and her mother to finish washing their clothes and go home.

Hang the clothes on the hanger and start drying them on the bamboo poles outside.

After the sun, her mother asked Shaofen to go out to dry the grain grass together, and the two mothers and daughters went out wearing straw hats.

At this time, Chen's father and the others had already filled a bucket of citrus, and the citrus tree had also picked four of them, and those that grew on the top could not be picked, so they had to keep it, because there were too many citrus thorns, and they would pierce their hands.

Chen's father and Shao Ke worked hard to pick it, but only picked a third.

It didn't take long for Shaofen and her mother to quickly arrive at the shore of the field, and after arriving, the two mothers and daughters quickly turned into the sun, the sun was very strong, and dust was flying everywhere.

An hour later, Shaofen and her mother finally finished drying.

At this time, Chen's father and they also filled two buckets, and Chen's father asked Shaoke to pick it back first.

Shao Ke said yes, picked up the flat pole and carried it away, the citrus in the two baskets was very heavy, and Shao Ke had to put it down and rest for a while.

I stopped several times on the road before finally picking it home. The clothes on my back were already wet, and my hair was also wet. Shaoke opened the door and picked the citrus back.

Then go and wash your hands to see if there are any punctures on your hands, which are very dirty, and you can wash them with soap.

Then I looked carefully at my left hand, left and right, and found that there was a short thorn in my hand, and it still hurt a little when I pressed it there with my hand.

At this time, Chen's mother and Shaofen came back, and her mother called Shao Ke and asked him with a smile: "Shao Ke, how many are there?" Call your father and grandfather back, it's already very hot." ”

Shao Ke immediately said yes, turned around and left with a basket, and his mother and Shaofen began to cook on the fire.

Chen's father lifted the full citrus, the sun was already very strong, and the grandfather told his son to rest.

Dad Chen said okay, looked at the remaining citrus, counted them, and maybe they could be picked in the afternoon.

It didn't take long for Shaoke to come and tell them to go home first, grandpa and dad said okay, put the citrus into the basket, and the grandfather and grandson took the tools and went home with the basket.

Shaofen and her mother had already cooked, and her mother was washing the vegetables, and while washing, she said, "Tomorrow I will go to the street and sell citrus first, and then I will go buy some meat and come back." ”

Shaofen lit the fire and said with a smile: "Mom, we only eat meat once every four days, which is very economical." ”

Chen's mother immediately said: "After eating at noon, kill a **." We also ate simply outside. ”

Shaofen immediately said: "Mom, you have worked hard, and I will do the same in the future." Don't worry, I'm not going to spend my money. ”

My mother said as she worked, "It's good to know, and you have to be sensible when you grow up." ”

The two mothers and daughters unknowingly cooked the meal, and the grandfather and grandson also returned to their homes. Put down the bucket and wash your hands.
