The next morning, the family got up early, had breakfast, changed their clothes, and Chen's mother and two siblings went out.

After Dad and Grandpa were busy at home, they closed the door and continued to go out to hunt walnuts.

Chen's mother carried two baskets of walnuts, Shao Ke also picked some walnuts and citrus, and Shaofen carried a basket of oranges.

The mother and son walked very fast, and soon reached the side of the road, where they waited to take a tricycle.

After waiting for a while, the tricycle came, Chen's mother hurriedly beckoned, the tricycle slowly stopped, and the mother and son hurriedly got into the car.

There were already a few people in the car, and they were a little crowded when they got up, because there were all kinds of household goods and things. Everyone grabbed the handrail, and the driver drove away on the tricycle.

There were still people stopping the car on the road, and the driver was not good at parking, so he didn't stop until the town and began to collect the fare, and Chen's mother gave it to him.

The mother and son only carried their things down, today is the time for the town to catch the market, there are already many villagers here, noisy, all kinds of cries and cries one after another.

Looking at the crowded crowd, Chen's mother hurriedly told the two siblings to leave quickly, there may be no place left, because the roadside is already full of villagers selling vegetables.

Everyone was enthusiastically selling, and Chen's mother picked the old place where walnuts used to be sold, which was not so crowded, so she quickly put it down, and so did the two brothers and sisters.

In the first two years, the two siblings and their grandfather sold it in the village for three days, but the price could not be sold, so they sold some, and then they also sold it in the town for three days, and finally sold the remaining ten catties or so, leaving them to eat at home.

Chen's mother began to shout loudly: "Fresh walnuts, everyone come and buy them, thirteen yuan a catty, it's delicious, eat it to nourish your brain." ”

The passers-by took a look and left without asking, and Shao Ke also began to sell loudly: "The citrus grown by my family is two yuan a catty, big and sweet, I sold it to pay tuition, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law who passed by, everyone came to buy it." ”

When the old men who passed by heard this, they hurriedly came over, smiled and asked loudly, "Young man, is this orange sweet? ”

Shaoke hurriedly used a knife to draw a portion for a few old people to taste, and the old man said with a smile after eating: "It's okay, let's weigh five catties each." ”

A few old people said yes, Shaoke quickly took out their pockets and let them choose by themselves, and a few old people picked them up in the bucket.

Shaofen also shouted loudly next to him: "The oranges grown by my own family, one piece of five pounds, it took a lot of time to manage, everyone come and buy it." ”

Several old people looked up, sighed and said, "You look small, I don't know if it's sweet or not?"

Shaofen hurriedly smiled and said, "Parents-in-law, promise sweetness, I'll open one for you to taste." ”

As he spoke, he took a knife, picked up an orange, and began to scratch. Distributed it to a few old people to taste, and after the old man tasted it, he looked at it and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's each buy two catties and eat them ourselves, these five catties are given away." ”

A few old men nodded and said yes, saying that they would choose the big one first.

Mother Chen saw that they were choosing, and laughed loudly and said: "Uncle and aunt, this is the walnuts that our family grows ourselves, they were only beaten yesterday, they are very fresh, buy two catties to eat, thirteen yuan a catty." ”

A few old men looked at it and then smiled and asked, "Are you a family?"

Chen's mother smiled and said yes, and several old people nodded and said okay, looking at their clothes, they should be from the city, and their clothes are very clean.

After choosing for a while, they each chose five catties of large oranges, and Shaoke quickly took out the scales, helped them scale, and asked them to look carefully.

Several old people looked at it one after another, and they all weighed five catties. They each took out their wallets and took out money to give Shao Ke, and Shao Ke confessed all the truth and falsehood, and then made up the money for them.

Each of them had a black backpack on their backs, and then they all put it in their backpacks, and then they began to choose small oranges in the bucket.

After choosing for a while, they each gave Shaofen a name, Shaofen smiled and said okay, quickly brought over the scales, and let them look at it for themselves. They all weighed two pounds.

The five old men took out their wallets again and gave the money to Shaofen, who quickly confessed all the truth and made up the money for them.

They put the oranges in their backpacks, lifted them one after another, and said with a smile: "Seven pounds, it's a bit heavy to carry." Do you still want to buy walnuts?"

Several old people were asking each other, and everyone had to say, "Let's buy a catty." ”

As he spoke, he began to choose in the bucket again, shook it in his hand, and asked Chen's mother: "Sister, this walnut is really your own?"

Chen's mother smiled and said yes, and used a tool to hammer open one, the walnuts in it were very fresh, Chen's mother gave them to a few old people to eat, and several old people nodded after eating and said, "It's okay, you can buy a pound and go back to eat." ”

As he spoke, he picked it up with his pocket, the shell was pale yellow, it looked clean, and everyone put it in their pockets.

Next to Shao Ke and Shaofen continued to sell, several groups of people came, some asked the price and left, but there were still two people who bought it, and they bought six catties each.

Less can sell the most, Shaofen has to work hard to sell loudly, things can only sell well, Shaofen also knows, but there is no way, how much can be sold.

After a long time, the five old people were satisfied, and Chen's mother hurriedly took the scales, helped them weigh them, and let them be optimistic, just full of one catty.

After reading it, several old people took out their wallets and took out the money to Chen's mother, and Chen's mother made up the money for them after seeing the authenticity.

They packed it into their backpacks and walked away smiling.

Chen's mother waited for them to leave, and then continued to sell, there are very few people who buy things without bargaining, so they should have a pension. Chen's mother thought to herself.

The mother and son continued to shout loudly.

Dad and Grandpa had already gone to the walnut tree, and today Dad was fighting alone, and Grandpa wanted to climb up to fight, but Dad wouldn't let him.

It's been two days since I played, my hands and arms are sore, and I've put a plaster on it, Dad is slower today, and Grandpa knows that his son is tired and tells him to play slowly.

He said yes, it was almost noon, and only two walnut trees were beaten, and Grandpa picked two baskets underneath, but they were not full.

Grandpa saw that the sun was getting bigger, and shouted to his son to come down and go back, and Chen's father said okay, take a rest, and slowly go down the wooden ladder.

I packed up and went home, and walked twice before I finished moving.

Go back to your home and start busy with your home.

The mother and son waited until there was no one on the street, and then they each carried it home. Mom sold thirty pounds of walnuts in one morning, and there was still a bucket left.

The few oranges that can be sold are almost finished, and after weighing, there are more than two catties left.

Shaofen still has half of the oranges left in the basket, and it is only sold for about 20 catties.

Mother picked up the remaining walnuts and carefully put away the money from the sale, and Shaoke and Shaofen gave all the money from the sale to their mother.

The mother and son hurriedly went to the station to wait for the car, and there was a tricycle at this time, because today was a market, and after seeing it, they hurriedly got on the car, and the driver waited for the seat to be full before driving away.

After a while on the road, people would get out of the car, drive and stop several times, and when the mother and son arrived at the station, there were very few people on the car.

Chen's mother hurriedly gave the fare to the driver, and the mother and son quickly got out of the car. The sun was hot, and they all wore straw hats.

Chen's mother carried the empty basket, Shao Ke picked up the remaining walnuts, Shaofen carried it, and walked quickly towards her house.

It didn't take long for it to arrive, Dad and Grandpa were cooking, and the mother and son put down their belongings, sat down at the dinner table, and began to count today's money.

The mother counted it twice, and the two siblings counted it once, and they sold it for a total of five hundred and twenty-three yuan.

Mom immediately smiled and said, "It's not bad, we'll sell it again tomorrow, Shaofen, you don't have to go, wash the clothes at home first." This afternoon, I beat all the remaining walnuts and wash them out to dry. ”

The two siblings nodded and said yes, and they all went to the kitchen, and Mom and Dad said, and Dad and Grandpa both smiled and said, "It's better to sell in the town." ”

Mom nodded yes, washed her hands, brought the fried dishes to the table, and the family sat down and began to eat.

After eating, Shaofen washed the dishes, and the rest of the people cut out the walnuts, peeled them, cleaned them, and washed their hands before they went to rest.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the family got up one after another, and the mother asked her father to wash the walnuts, and she and the two children went to fight, because she knew that her father was tired of beating.

Chen's father said yes, and he and his grandfather went out with a wooden barrel.

After closing the door, my mother and two siblings went out with their belongings. It didn't take long to get to the place of the walnut tree.

Putting down the things in her hand, her mother immediately said, "Shao Ke and I will go up to fight, Shaofen, you pick it up below." ”

The two siblings said okay, put the wooden ladder on the tree, and the mother and Shaoke climbed up separately, tied themselves to the trunk of the tree, stood in a good position, and began to fight with bamboo poles in both hands.

With the sound of bangbang, the walnuts on the tree fell one after another, and my mother beat very quickly, Shao Ke too, Shaofen kept picking up noodles in Shao Mian.

After a long while, my mother finished beating one, immediately untied the rope, stepped on the wooden ladder and climbed down, continued to change the one, put the wooden ladder away, and climbed up.

As time passed, my mother finished beating three, and Shaoke finished beating two, and after getting off the tree, I looked carefully several times, and each tree had been beaten.

Only a few of them didn't hit on the top, so they had to ignore it.

The mother and son cleaned up, Shaofen had already filled three back baskets, and there were still on the ground, and the mother asked the two brothers and sisters to carry them back first, and the two brothers and sisters said okay.

The mother and son each carried a basket and walked home slowly.

When they got home, they fell into the house, and the two siblings came to carry it again, and the mother resisted the tools.

The fight was finally over, and the family breathed a sigh of relief. Dad and Grandpa had already washed and returned.

was busy at home, and when the mother and son came back, they put it down and began to cut and peel it with a knife.

I can rest early tonight. By the time they were done, Dad had already cooked the meal and finished the rest of the house.

Tonight I had the earliest meal, and after eating, Shaofen went to wash the dishes, and my mother warmed the water and asked everyone to wash it.

After washing, they closed the door and went back to their own rooms to sleep.
