In this way, it took Xiao Ming's family another day to cut down the sugarcane in the field. There are still three days left before the time to study, and Xiao Ming sorted out all the things he wanted to bring.

Lan Cheng has also been busy at home these days, planting the vegetable seedlings in the field with her mother first, and she also had to help when Lan Xiang was at home before.

After breakfast in the morning, the mother and son carried two hoes to the place where the vegetables were planted and began to dig the soil.

After digging up the soil first, prepare to pick vegetables. The soil was not wet, and it was a bit laborious to dig, and after two hours, it was almost enough to dig Lalan's mother to pull the vegetable seedlings.

Lan Cheng hurriedly returned home, found two wooden barrels, took a flat pole to the river to fetch water, carrying two buckets full of water, Lan Cheng stopped three times on the road before finally arriving at the land.

When he came back, Lan's mother hadn't come back yet, so Lan Cheng had to put down his flat burden and go to the vegetable seedling field to find Lan's mother.

After walking on the path for a while, I saw my mother still pulling vegetable seedlings there, and Lan Cheng walked over and called her mother loudly.

When Lan's mother heard this, she immediately stood up and said loudly with a smile: "Lan Cheng, you are here." Close, not enough?"

Lan Cheng looked at the vegetable seedlings in the back basket, and there was already half of the back, so Lan Cheng immediately squatted down and pulled it with his mother.

Half an hour later, Lan's mother screamed enough, and Lan Cheng hurriedly carried the basket on her back and went to the field with her mother.

After arriving, the mother and son started planting together, Lan Cheng looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock.

I shouldn't have been able to finish planting this morning, but as time passed, half of the vegetable seedlings in the field were planted.

Lan Cheng looked at his watch, and before he knew it, it was already half past eleven, Lan Cheng stood up and sighed loudly and said loudly: "Mom, it's half past eleven, do we still want to plant it?"

Mother Lan stood up and immediately said loudly: "Alas, forget it, we can't finish planting this morning, let's plant it tomorrow." You're going to pour some water on here this afternoon. We'll dig a little leeks in the afternoon and come out to the market tomorrow. ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, wiped his sweat, cleaned up, and the mother and son went home together.

After returning home, Lan's mother went to cook, and Lan Cheng went to feed the family's livestock. Help out in the kitchen after feeding.

The mother and son ate very simply, stir-fried two vegetables. After cooking quickly, the mother and son sat down and began to eat lunch.

Lan's mother said while eating: "This afternoon we will go to the river to wash leeks, and after washing, we will pick them up and sell them on the street tomorrow." ”

Lan Cheng said yes while eating, and soon after eating, Lan Cheng packed up the dishes and went to wash.

Lan's mother took out the dirty clothes she had changed yesterday, went to the well outside the yard, and fetched two buckets of water and came back.

Soak in laundry detergent and start washing, and ask while washing: "Lan Cheng, have you washed your clothes, take them out and wash them for your mother." ”

Lan Cheng heard what he said, and after quickly washing the dishes, he hurriedly went to his room and took out his dirty clothes.

went out and gave it to Lan's mother, Lan's mother immediately washed it, and Lan Cheng took two small benches and washed them with her mother.

An hour later, it was cleaned, Lan Cheng hurriedly went back to the room to find a hanger, hung the freshly washed clothes, and dried them on the bamboo poles outside the yard.

After drying in the sun, go back to your room to rest.

At half past three in the afternoon, the mother and son got up, brought the sickle and hoe, Lan's mother carried a basket, Lan Cheng picked two baskets, and walked towards the leek field.

Leeks can be cut and bought three times a year, and every time they grow taller, Lan's mother will sell them once, and they will sell for hundreds of yuan at a time.

The mother and son soon arrived at the leek, put down the belongings in their hands, took the hoe and began to dig, the soil next to the leek was a little dry, and the mother and son dug carefully.

Lan Cheng said while digging: "Mom, how much does this leek sell for now?"

Mother Lan stopped and said with a smile: "It should be at least two yuan, to three yuan!"

Lan Cheng didn't ask again and continued to dig, after an hour passed, they had already dug out two rows, Lan's mother was very diligent, and after digging it was done, she immediately put fertilizer on it.

In this way, the leeks grow fast and long, and some of the manure at home will be picked here, and other fertilizers will be put here.

Looking at the white leek roots, Mother Lan immediately told Lan Cheng to stop and cut these leeks first.

Lan Cheng nodded and said yes, put down the hoe and picked up the sharp sickle, and began to carefully cut the leek roots.

Lan's mother also began to cut, and the leeks should also be sprayed with a little pesticide, so that they will grow well. There are no bugs on the leaves, and the green leaves look good.

The mother and son put the cut leeks neatly together, and the two rows of leeks were cut in half an hour.

The mother and son breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on their faces, and their mother immediately called Lan Cheng to water the vegetable seedlings planted in the morning first.

Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, bring the hoe and sickle back first, and Mother Lan will carry the leeks here to the river first.

After a while, Lan Cheng arrived at home, picked up the flat pole and carried the bucket to the river. Lan's mother memorized it back and forth three times before she finished it.

Lan Cheng carried the water to the field in the morning, took the melon scoop and began to water.

The mother put the leeks on the edge of the river, took off her shoes, rolled up her trousers, stepped barefoot in the river, and began to sit on the stones on the steps and wash them.

Lan Cheng picked back and forth several times before finally pouring the piece of land. Immediately after watering, he went to the river again and washed the leeks with his mother.

At this time, the weather was bitten by insects, and Mother Lan had been washing for so long, and her hands had been bitten by insects in many small packets, and they were still a little itchy, and they would be red and swollen if they scratched it.

When Lan's mother saw Lan Cheng coming, she immediately said loudly: "Lan Cheng, hurry up and go back and get a little wind oil essence, my hand has been bitten." ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said yes, and immediately turned around and went home.

Lan's mother's hands have turned white due to being in the water for a long time. Half of it was left unwashed.

After a while, Lan Cheng arrived at the house and found the bottle of wind oil essence in the desk drawer in his room.

Usually in the summer, he will apply mosquitoes, because he sometimes writes late at night when he writes his homework. Blowing a fan sometimes doesn't work.

He buys three bottles at a time, one bottle for his sister, one bottle for him, and one bottle for his family. He picked up the bottle of wind oil essence and quickly closed the door and left.

Soon arrived at the river, Lan Cheng called out to his mother, and her mother immediately said loudly, "Hurry up and help me put it on." ”

Lan Cheng nodded and said yes, opened the bottle cap, poured out a little and helped her mother apply it on her arm, a cool and pungent smell came, and Lan's mother felt much more comfortable. Lan Cheng immediately applied it to his hands himself.

After painting, take off your shoes and pull up your pants to go down the river. Sitting with my mother, I started washing leeks.

Lan's mother said while washing: "This time I forgot to bring the wind oil essence, and my hand was bitten like this." ”

Lan Cheng had no choice but to smile and say, "Mom, hurry up, we'll leave after washing." ”

Saying that, she quickly picked up the leeks and scrubbed them vigorously in the water, and Mother Lan's movements were also fast, and after washing the mud on the leeks, she had to remove the yellow leaves.

So washing the vegetables was also very hard, and after half an hour, the mother and son finally finished washing.

Mother Lan stood up, beat her waist with her hand, sighed and said loudly: "Alas, it is finally washed, now we will prick the leeks with grain grass." ”

As he spoke, he took the grain grass next to him and began to put all the wine and food neatly and tied them into handfuls, so that they looked more pleasing to the eye.

Lan Cheng also followed her mother's example, and after tying them, they all put them in two baskets, and the two mothers and sons washed their hands and put on their shoes.

Lan Cheng picked up the flat pole and left, and her mother put the rest into the basket and went home with Lan Cheng.

I made three stops on the road before I finally got home. By this time it was getting late, and the leeks were placed in the hall, and there was still water on them that had not dried up.

Mom turned around to cook, and Lan Cheng fed the family's livestock. Tonight, I went to eat the leftovers from noon, and after it was warm, the two mothers and children sat under the fluorescent lamp and ate it.

After eating, my mother cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, and Lan Cheng went to hot bath water.

After the heat was good, the mother and son washed up, closed the door and went back to their rooms to rest.

At half past six the next morning, the mother and son got up! After cooking breakfast and eating, the door was closed, and the mother and son went out into the street with leeks.

Today is a market to sell vegetables more people, the mother and son on the road for a while, hurriedly walked towards the street.

Soon arrived on the street, some vegetable sellers had already come, and Lan's mother hurriedly found a good position and put the vegetables down.

He took out the scales and pockets, brought two small benches from home, wiped the sweat of the mother and son, sat down and began to shout and sell.

Mother Lan shouted loudly: "Come and buy it, fresh leeks." Three dollars a pound. ”

The villagers who passed by took a look and did not come over to ask. Lan Cheng also began to shout loudly: "Freshly washed leeks, everyone come and buy them, three yuan a catty, sell them to pay tuition." ”

After screaming a lot, someone finally came over and asked, and the aunt asked with a smile: "Big sister, your leek, can it be cheaper for three yuan a catty?"

At this time, the vegetable sellers are shouting loudly, and the vegetable market is a bit noisy. Now that I'm just starting to sell, it's best to sell it for three bucks.

Lan's mother immediately said to her: "Auntie, we planted this leek ourselves, and we washed it for a long time yesterday, and you can see that my hands are already foaming." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to show the eldest mother, and there was a small bag in his hand. After the eldest lady saw it, she sighed and said, "Okay, I'll buy a catty!"

After speaking, he took a handful in the bamboo basket and asked Lan's mother to weigh her, and her mother took the scale, and immediately weighed her up, and asked her to look at the weight, one and a half catties.

The eldest mother immediately took out the money and gave it to Lan's mother, and after Lan's mother saw it, she found change for her, and the eldest mother immediately carried it away.

Lan Cheng picked up the water in the small bottle and sprinkled some on the leeks, and after a while, an eldest sister came to buy two catties.

Leeks are not like other dishes, seeing that there are so many left, Lan's mother is a little anxious, there is no way to sell them on the streets of the village, not as good as in the town.

Time passed quickly, and the mother and son sold more than 20 catties, and it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
