Chapter 138: The Little Labor Who "Throws Himself into the Net".
Qingling carried two packets of thick mooncakes, walked around the counter, and asked Feng Meiqin if there was anything else to eat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There are supply and marketing cooperatives over there, just pomegranates and oranges, which are said to be the best fruits for the festival. But in our countryside, few people buy canned fruit that is so sweet that it is sweet, who will spend money to buy this kind of fruit? If you really want to eat it, you may be able to pick a few at the foot of the back mountain, isn't this a waste of money......
That's nothing.
"If not, forget it, I'll just ask. Seeing that it was not too early, Qingling waved at Feng Meiqin and stepped on the sunset to go home.
The heart said that she had seen wild oranges in the mountains, and she went to pick some ripe ones and came back.
When she went to the master's house to talk about it, Grandma Zhang smiled and proposed: "It's not easy to eat pomegranates, the pomegranate tree in Gangzi's house blooms and bears fruit every year, and it has borne fruit for several years, and this year is definitely no exception." Don't you have the key to his house? Hurry up and ask the old man to go to the commune to borrow a ladder, pick all the cracked pomegranates, keep a few to try, and send the rest to Gangzi. In previous years, all the fruits of his family were stolen by the two dogs. ”
Qingling's eyes lit up, yes! Xiang Gang's family has several fruit trees, pomegranates, jujubes, persimmons...... However, most of the jujubes and persimmons will not turn red until the frost falls, but the pomegranates are ripe at this time.
"But Master, how do you know that his family's fruits are all stolen and eaten by the children in the village?" Qingling asked curiously.
"I saw it once by chance. Speaking of this, Grandma Zhang was a little indignant, "The parents of those children shouted not to go to Gangzi's house, for fear of bad luck, but when they saw the food, they shut up one by one." They all say 'eat people with soft mouths', I see that they have eaten so many fruits from Gangzi's family, but they still don't give Gangzi a good face, rather than cheap them, it is better for us to pick them back. ”
"Okay, then I'll go and have a look before I go to work tomorrow, and I'll pick a few ripe ones back." If you can't reach it, I borrowed a ladder from the commune to pick it up at noon. Qingling clapped his hands and said.
The next day, Qingling got up early in the morning, washed up and picked up a few mouthfuls of porridge, carried the back basket to Xianggang's house, and fed the two chickens some bran and rice grains by the way.
The pheasant has a strong adaptability, as long as the activity place is spacious enough, and the weeds and insects in the field are enough to eat, it is okay if you don't feed it extraordinarily. But Qingling wants to fatten them up, so she always goes over once a day, most of them in the evening, after work, directly through the back door on the other side of the river, feeds the chickens, and then cleans the chicken coop, it is almost dark, so she rarely goes to the front yard again, so that she forgets that there is such a thing as pomegranates.
This time she went around to the front yard and into the house. Through the high earthen wall, I saw the graceful pomegranate branches in the courtyard, sticking out the branches next to the wall. The red tassel-like fruit is shadowed among the branches and leaves.
The pomegranate is really ripe!
Qingling smiled, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked under the pomegranate tree.
Suddenly, a few black heads popped out of the wall, led by the two dogs mentioned by Shi Niang last night, who probably wanted to come in over the wall, and suddenly saw someone in the yard, and hurriedly retracted his head again.
Qingling was amused, unloaded the bamboo basket, walked to the root of the wall and asked, "Is the scenery on the wall beautiful?"
A few little heads are coming out again.
The second dog in the lead, leaning against the wall, asked cautiously: "You, you promise not to arrest us!"
Qingling smiled at him: "Why am I arresting you, what are you doing badly?"
"We didn't do anything bad!" replied Ergouzi, rightly.
But then, the bear child next to him demolished the stage for him: "Yes! We didn't do anything bad! We just want to pick a few pomegranates to eat, and we didn't pick them last year, so why don't you care ......?"
"Shit idiot!" the two dogs "snapped" and slapped each other's heads, and the latter didn't hold the wall with his hand, slid down, and landed on his buttocks, sighing.
A few other friends covered their leaky mouths and giggled.
The second dog rolled his eyes, and this time he readily admitted: "Okay! We just want to pick a few pomegranates to eat...... Cough, you see this branch is sticking out of the wall, isn't it just an invitation for us to come in and pick it? We don't come to pick it, it's a pity that it's ripe and rotten on the ground...... "Ergouzi said with a proud expression on his face, "Master, I'm doing a good deed."
"Yes, yes, what a pity!" a group of turnip heads nodded at their boss's words.
Qingling listened to it angrily and funny, and came to the door to steal other people's fruits, but it was reasonable?
"Alright, you all come down! ”
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Er Gouzi heard what Qing Ling said, and immediately looked vigilant, for fear that she would be caught and sent to the commune as soon as she came.
"Look, what do I have in my hand?"
The bear child replied in unison, "Key!"
"Yes, I have the key to this house, so the fruit trees in the yard are in my charge for the time being, and I invite you to eat pomegranates, which is not stealing." ”
"Really?" retracted half of his head and stretched it out again.
"Do you think I look like a liar?"
"Do you want us to eat?"
"Of course, but it's not for nothing, you help me pick pomegranates, pick ten, I'll give you one, pick twenty, I'll give you two. The more you pick, the more you get. Can you take this job?" Qingling saw that they looked at me and I looked at you, and she didn't squeak for a while, and said, "When the jujubes and persimmons in the backyard are ripe, let's pick ten catties and give you one catty in this way." Think about it, and if you really don't like to work, then it's up to you. One person picks a pomegranate, and don't climb over the wall in the future. ”
A few children, you look at me, I look at you, and at the end they said in unison:
"Let's do it!"
"Let's do it!"
Under the leadership of Ergouzi, all the children accepted Qingling's proposal.
Why should they sneak up the wall when they can get the fruit from the owner of the house openly? Don't look at them fighting and rampage, it seems that there is nothing in the world that they are afraid of, but the punishment of stealing things and seizing the cowshed is also very heavy in their hearts.
Now I don't have to worry about going over the wall to pick pomegranates, and the bear children said that they are very open.
"There's just something," Ergouzi scratched his head shyly, "Sister Yingfang, several of our mothers have said that when the autumn harvest begins, we all have to go down to the field to hold the ears of rice, pick up grains, and from tomorrow we will help the commune to collect firewood, so ...... What's that...... The follow-up may not come......"
A few days ago, I ran around the autumn club arbitrarily, and Ming'er got up to earn work with adults, only to remember that the pomegranates in the yard of Xiang's house should be ripe, and there was no time to pick them in the future, so I hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the sky was not bright, and sneaked out to climb over the courtyard wall.
