At six o'clock in the morning of the second day, the chickens outside crowed, and the family got up one after another. Mom and Shaofen cooked, and the grandfather and grandson fed the chickens and ducks, as well as the pigs.

Dad picked two barrels of walnuts and was going to go to the river to wash them, but Shao Ke also picked a little. The father and son walked very fast, and it didn't take long for them to reach the river.

At this time, there were already people doing laundry, and several aunts saw them coming and called them with a smile.

They also smiled and called a few aunts, and several aunts looked at the walnuts in their buckets, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen, this walnut is very big, we should also go home and fight." ”

Chen's father smiled and asked them to bring it to eat, and several aunts smiled and said, "No need, you still have to wash your clothes, and you will talk about it after washing." ”

Dad Chen smiled and said okay, put down the wooden bucket, filled half a bucket of water, poured the walnuts into the bucket, and began to scrub his hands together.

Shao Ke was also like his father, scrubbing for a while, the water in the bucket turned dirty and black, and when a few aunts finished washing, Dad asked them to eat again, they had to reach out and grab a few, smiled and said thank you, and left with their clothes.

When they were gone, the father and son put the walnuts in the bucket together and poured the dirty water into the river. Continue to wash with water, and wash back and forth several times, and when they see that it is clean, the two fathers and sons carry it home.

At this time, the two mothers and daughters and their grandfather had already dried the millet and peanuts and had already eaten breakfast. After seeing them return, my mother shouted at them to eat.

Put down the barrel and the two fathers and sons said okay and hurry to eat.

The mother and daughter took a closer look at the washed walnuts and poured them all into the empty baskets, which were not yet full.

After looking at it, I picked out the black shells, I was afraid that the walnuts that were already broken, and I was about to finish picking, and left those unsightly walnuts at home.

The father and son had finished eating, and the grandfather and father said hello and went out to hunt walnuts again.

After they left, the mother closed the door and walked away with the basket, Shao Ke picked up the remaining citrus from yesterday and followed behind, and Shaofen also carried a basket and walked at the end.

Mom walked fast and didn't take long to arrive. At this time, the streets were already lively, and there were all kinds of cries for selling things.

Mom found a good position, put it down, took out the scales and pockets, and began to sell loudly: "Fresh walnuts, just beaten, everyone come and buy them, thirteen yuan a catty." ”

After screaming several times, the villagers passing by looked at it and left, and a few mothers-in-law came over and asked loudly: "Sister, how do you sell this walnut?"

Chen's mother immediately picked up a few walnuts and said to her mother-in-law: "Auntie, this is our own family, thirteen yuan a catty, buy some." ”

After hearing this, several mothers-in-law shook their heads and said, "It's too expensive, let's get cheaper." Ten yuan a pound buys two pounds. You don't have this sun-dried. ”

Chen's mother said with a smile: "We have to remove insects, pour fertilizers, and weeds every year to produce good fruits, and we have to climb trees to fight, and we have to wash after beating, and we have a lot of work to do. ”

A few mothers-in-law still didn't want it, shook their heads and left, Chen's mother knew that walnuts were not as good to sell as oranges, so she had to wait patiently and keep shouting.

It didn't take long for a few more groups of people to come, but they still said that it was expensive, Chen's mother didn't want to be cheap, so after thinking about it, she had to go to the town to sell it, and it was good to sell it in the town before.

The two siblings also arrived soon, and when they saw that the seats were full, they had to line up at the back and put them away.

Taking a breath, Shao Ke began to sell: "Uncles and aunts passing by, grandparents and grandparents, our mandarins, big and sweet, two yuan a catty, everyone come and buy them." ”

Shaofen stood next to him and began to sell: "Uncle and aunt, fresh citrus, a piece of five-five catties, sold to pay tuition, everyone come and buy it." ”

The two siblings stood together, and the villagers passing by saw it and were talking about how the two siblings looked alike, and some people came over and asked, "Are you two brothers and sisters?" ”

The two siblings nodded yes and asked them to buy it, and several mothers-in-law each picked it up with their pockets.

After a while, they all made their choices, and Shaoke hurried to his mother to get the scales and came over to help them scale.

The big citrus is easier to sell, and the four mothers-in-law each weighed six catties, and Shaoke weighed them twice respectively, so that they could be optimistic about themselves, and said how much money they had, and the four mothers-in-law each gave money.

Shaofen helped to see the truth and make up the money, and the four mothers-in-law carried it away.

It was sold for forty-eight yuan at once, and the two brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief, and then two eldest ladies came and bought smaller oranges.

Everyone weighed four catties, Shaofen helped weigh it twice, the two aunts gave money, Shaofen admitted the truth and made up the money.

This time it was sold for 12 yuan, and the two siblings continued to sell it, and when there were fewer people on the street, the two siblings sold for about 180 yuan.

Chen's mother only sold five catties of walnuts, all at the price of thirteen yuan.

Seeing that there was no one on the street and the sun was shining, Chen's mother asked the two siblings to go back, and the two siblings nodded and said yes.

Walking home one after another, Dad and Grandpa had already returned, and they had just come back for a while.

When Dad saw them coming back and saw the remaining walnuts, he asked Mom, who had to say, "Let's go to the town and sell them, it's not easy to sell them in the village." The price can't be sold. ”

Dad had no choice but to say okay, and when he saw that the remaining citrus was also fifty or sixty catties, he sighed and said, "Okay, tomorrow you will take the car to the town to sell it."

It should be possible to sell it for a few dozen yuan more, which is fine. The round-trip fare is six yuan. My dad and I finished the rest. ”

Chen's mother said yes, and Shaofen picked up the dirty clothes and prepared to go to the river to wash, and asked them to cook at home, and Dad said yes.

Chen's mother and Shao Ke both picked two buckets, Shaofen followed, at this time the sun was very strong, and the mother and son all put on straw hats and walked quickly towards the river.

At noon, there was no one by the river, and when Shaofen and the others arrived, they quickly put down the wooden bucket, began to pour water, poured laundry detergent, wet their clothes, and the two brothers and sisters each took a brush and began to brush it.

Chen's mother scrubbed her hands next to her, and the sun heated the water in the river, and it felt like hot water on her hands.

The mother and son washed quickly, only to hear the sound of brushing clothes.

Grandpa and Dad were busy cooking in the kitchen, they cooked the rice, and Chen's mother and the others also returned.

When they came back, they quickly found the hanger to dry, and the grandfather brought the meal to the table.

The family sat down to eat, and while eating, the mother said with a smile: "Today I sold five catties of walnuts, and I have sixty-five yuan." ”

Shao Ke ate the food and said with a smile: "Today we sold it for 180 yuan, which is okay." ”

Dad smiled and said yes, get up early tomorrow, you can go after dinner, and there will be me and your grandfather at home.

The two siblings nodded and said yes, and after the family finished eating, Shaofen packed up the dishes and went to wash. Dad, they sat down and started chopping walnuts.

The family wore gloves and held kitchen knives, slashing and chopping, and the walnut skins were piled on the ground.

After the chopping, the family cleaned up and cleaned up before going to rest.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone got up, Dad and they went out to hunt walnuts, and Shaofen and Mom went out to wash the walnuts.

It didn't take long for them to reach the river, and at this time there was no one by the river, so the two mothers and daughters put down the wooden barrel, filled half a bucket of water, and began to scrub the walnuts.

After washing out the sewage, I quickly poured it, washed it several times, and finally washed it, and went home with a wooden barrel.

Poured into the bucket and began to pick out the shell is not good-looking, and after half an hour, the selection was finally finished, and the two mothers and daughters hurried to the house.

This year's walnuts bear a lot of fruit, and Dad and they only beat five walnut trees in the morning, and when they arrived, they put the wooden ladder in place, climbed up, tied themselves and began to stand on the branches again.

After an hour of fighting, nine trees had been hit, and the ground was already full of walnuts, which Grandpa quickly picked up underneath.

The two baskets were already filled, and Dad was already tired, so he stood on the tree to rest, and only came down after resting.

I continued to put the ladder in place, ready to climb up and start playing again, but the speed also slowed down.

Shaoke didn't come to play in the morning, so he still played so fast.

Most of the walnut trees here have been beaten, and the few remaining ones have not been beaten.

The walnuts on the ground were already filled with three back baskets, and Grandpa was shouting for Daddy below. Dad heard it and came down immediately.

Dad called Shao Ke loudly, telling him not to fight first, to carry it back first, Shao Ke said okay, hurry down.

The three grandchildren each carried a basket and hurried home. Shao Ke and Dad go faster.

It didn't take long for it to arrive, and Dad hurried back to pick up Grandpa, and Mom was already busy at home and was cooking.

When the grandfather came back, the grandfather and grandson poured the walnuts into the hall and went out again with the basket on their backs.

It didn't take long for them to get there, and the three of them picked up the ones on the ground first, and there was almost a basket on their backs, and they counted them, and there were seven trees left unbeaten.

After cleaning up, two more baskets were installed, and this afternoon I played the most. Shao Ke and his father carried their own backs, and the grandfather resisted the wooden ladder and rope, and the grandfather and grandson walked home.

It's getting late, get to work, time will pass so quickly, when everyone comes back, my mother has already brought the food to the table, and told them to eat with a smile.

They said okay, put it down, wash their hands, and start eating.

Just like last night, after washing and peeling all the walnuts, they went to rest.

Lying on the bed, Dad's hands and arms hurt very much, Shao Ke too, Shao Ke sat next to his father and said with a smile: "Dad, I'll help you beat it." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, and began to pound on his father's arm, and after a while, his father said it was okay, and Shaoke stopped.

Dad also stretched out his hands to help Shao Ke hammer, and after a while, Shao Ke said that it was okay, and Dad stopped. The father and son began to rest and sleep.

Grandpa was already asleep, Shaofen and her mother were also asleep, and it was half past nine.

The weather is hot, and mosquito coils will be lit every night, and the mosquitoes at this time will gradually decrease, and it will be good to fall asleep at night.
