Chapter 850: Monkey Changgong
Wen Shigui and these elderly people ate two or three dates each, and then left Wen Xu's house and turned to work, leaving a yard of children and monkeys to make trouble in the yard.
Wen Xu ate a handful of dates and stopped, watching a group of monkeys mixed with the children picking up dates, from time to time the head or body was knocked with dates by a squirrel, and after a snort, he continued to bury his head in picking up dates and stuffing them in his mouth.
The happiest is the little guy in Wen Xu's family, Guang Jue and they almost want to eat these days, so they are not very interested in eating dates, but they are so happy that so many people come to their house, people come crazy and run around the yard without stopping, as if they have just installed a new battery, round after round, and the one that runs is called a hi. Wen Xu, who ran away, thought that he had given birth to a stupid son, so he had to cover his head from time to time and think about whether he had inherited his daughter-in-law or his own to do such a happy thing.
Whether it is a family of rattles or a family of fishing cats, they all eat meat, and they can't care about the matter of beating dates, especially after everyone gets together on the ground and sniffs it, they don't care even more, so they find a place to put on a cold posture, like an audience listening to a symphony in the theater, with a straight face, looking at a group of children in the yard mixed with a group of monkeys and can't stop picking up dates.
As for Xuehua and the orange cat, they must not be at home at this time, they went out with Shi Shangzhen, and even if they were at home, they would not have any thoughts about Zao'er. Add a maximum of two numbers to the cold group.
It's understandable that a few little things about meat can't understand why these stupid guys in the yard like this stuff all over the ground so much, but Dahua Erhua's performance today is not too excited, which makes some children feel strange.
Cocoa, who had filled her stomach, came to the side of Dahua Erhua, took out the dates in her pocket and stretched them out to Dahua's mouth, Dashi tilted his head and bit the dates into his mouth, and began to chew them.
"Uncle Wen?" Coco ran to Wen Xu's front and grabbed Wen Xu, stretched out his finger and pointed at Dahua Erhua who was lying on the edge of the nest and said, "Dahua and Erhua are sick?"
Wen Xu glanced at Dahua Erhua and smiled and reached out to touch Coco's head: "Dahua Erhua is not sick, Dahua Erhua has a bear in her stomach, and she doesn't want to move a little!"
Wen Xu didn't pay attention to how the female bear in the wild raised the fetus, but the female bear in the wild must have to go out to find food, you must know that in the wild, the task of the male bear is to fight and then mate, after the end is a hands-off shopkeeper, the female bear must have to find food by herself.
But when I arrived at Dahua Erhua, I obviously began to be lazy like a pregnant woman in a human being, so lazy that I didn't even want to eat the dates in front of me, except for the time to eat, most of them were lying in the yard, sleeping motionless with their big heads. Even when I opened my eyes, I just turned my head, and I didn't have the same joy as before, let alone playing with the children.
"Oh," Coco said and then ran back to Dahua's side, squatting down and holding Dahua's head, talking about something while squeezing it.
Wen Xu didn't say anything about the little girl's behavior, and turned his gaze to the jujube tree, and now there are jujube piles under the jujube tree, and the highest place is almost fifty centimeters, seeing this situation, Wen Xu took out the bag that had been prepared a long time ago, threw it on the ground, and then took out more than a dozen basket pockets from the house, large and small, the small one is almost the size of a small bag, and the big one has to be carried by two children.
It turns out that monkeys do long-term work, sometimes much more reliable than people, they don't know what is called stealing and tricking, of course, it may also be because they work in Wen Xu's house, and the Khan is still watching from the side, and they don't dare to be lazy and cheat, so this work is quite hard.
"Don't just eat it, put the dates in a basket for me, and send them to me," Wen Xu announced a new task to the children.
Da Lei's group of children were eating happily, and when they heard Wen Xu say this, the words were not finished, Da Lei was the first to run over, picked up the largest basket and carried it on his shoulder and ran under the tree.
"Be careful!"
Wen Xu's words have not yet fallen, Da Lei's kid sat on it, it wouldn't matter if it was originally flat, but now there are dates on the ground, and this kid suddenly fell and hurt, and when he stood up again, he rubbed his buttocks, and couldn't stop crying out that it hurts.
"I've told you to be careful, you all be careful, it doesn't matter if you fall on your ass now, I'm going to beat someone up if I hurt my jujube!" Wen Xu smiled and motioned for the little ones to come over and get the basket.
More than a dozen baskets were divided, and the little ones did their work very carefully, even if they didn't follow the fruits of the labor of a few big male monkeys on the tree, soon the dates under the tree were piled higher and higher, and the dates close to the tree pole were piled up more than one meter.
In the end, there was no way, Wen Xu also joined the army of jujubes, even with Wen Xu's joining, it still couldn't solve the problem, it was almost noon, waiting for Shi Shangzhen to come back, and saw that the jujubes under the trees in the yard were about to be buried.
"Why are there so many? Isn't it that you have lost dates this year, I think this has the meaning of reducing more and more," Shi Shangzhen couldn't help but say in surprise when he saw the situation in the courtyard.
Wen Xu didn't look back when he was busy, and said directly: "The dates have decreased, but this tree has grown bigger!
At this time, it happened that Yan Dong also returned to the courtyard, and when he heard Shi Shangzhen say this, he immediately replied: "Your jujube has decreased, but the jujube tree has also grown, haven't you noticed it?"
Hearing Yan Dong say this, Wen Xu and Shi Shangzhen both began to look at the jujube tree.
Because the two live in the yard every day, it is not easy to find out that the jujube tree grows up, but now when they hear the harsh winter, and they immediately observe it, they immediately found that the jujube tree is more than two circles larger than when the yard was just built, and the jujube tree only occupies half of the yard in the west, and now the crown has stretched over the middle line, and it has crossed the wall to the west, and part of the jujube branches have stretched out to the wall.
"It's a lot bigger!" Wen Xu said, nodding.
"It's a lot bigger, it's a lot bigger, isn't it? By the way, give me a few branches of the jujube tree in two days, and I'll go back and plant them in my new yard, your jujube tree is really gratifying, and when our children grow up, we will have fresh jujube to eat," Yan Dong said.
Hearing Yan Dong say this, Yuan Bo, who was working, immediately interjected and said: "Uncle Yan Dong, you are too uneducated, it is difficult to live well if the jujube tree is inserted, even if you have a bud at the beginning, it is generally a fake, if you really want to, go to the outside of the courtyard wall of your uncle's house, there are small buds of jujube that fall early!
Rural babies know that it is difficult to survive if the jujube tree is cut with branches, not that there is no living example of the jujube tree cuttings, but the probability of surviving and rooting is too small, even if these things are added, it is difficult for the jujube branches to grow roots. This is common knowledge for rural children, but he doesn't know about the harsh winter, he thinks that many trees can be cuttings, and jujube trees can naturally be, so he happened to encounter this today, so he thought about moving Wen Xu's jujube tree to his own small yard.
"Little bud? can't it be the variety of this jujube tree, right?" The jujube tree of the Wen Xu's family that he wanted in the harsh winter, he was a little unsure about the jujube tree on the courtyard wall of the Wen Xu's house, in his opinion, who knew if it was the bud of the jujube kernel that the children ate and spit out at will.
Yuan Bo swept the harsh winter with a pair of small eyes with contempt, and finally didn't even bother to take care of him, and continued to bury his head in pretending to be his own dates.
"Hey, you kid still dare to discriminate against me!" Yan Dong walked over with a smile, stretched out his foot and kicked Yuan Bo's ass lightly: "My suspicion is reasonable, if it weren't for your bunch of leather monkeys, I would still be sure, now who knows if the sprouts that came out were from this big jujube tree."
"I'm too lazy to explain to you!" said Yuanbo, this kid was very arrogant.
"Okay, okay, what are you and the child struggling with, it's just right to come back, come and help me fill the dates" Wen Xu casually threw a bag to Yan Dong.
Yan Dong shook the small notebook in his hand: "I still have something to do here!"
"You can't push anything back, I didn't see that I'm busy here, if you don't reach out, your family's portion of dates will be halved this year!" Wen Xu said.
Yan Dong said with a bitter face: "Why, if King Xian and Hu Jun don't come, they won't be halved, and if I don't work here, I will have to be reduced?"
"No matter how nonsense you are, you don't even have that half!" Wen Xu was not interested in listening to him explain at all.
Yan Dong sighed, and put the book in his hand directly into his collar: "Forget it, I'm afraid of you!"
After speaking, he squatted down to help Wen Xu and began to hug the dates.
The two brothers were only a little faster now, and they finally caught up with a few monkeys on the tree. After a while, Shi Shangzhen, who came out of the house to change her clothes, also joined the labor army, and she now took over the work of loading dates, that is, putting the children's dates in baskets into sacks, waiting for a bag to be full, and then dragging the sack to the corner of the wall against the base of the wall, so that the bag would not fall.
All the people in the yard were busy for about half an hour in an orderly manner, and the trees were shaken down by the monkeys, and the dates began to decrease, and the leaves of the date trees began to increase.
"Alright, alright, come down!"
Wen Xu stood up and instructed the Khan to roughly shake each piece of the tree a few times, thinking that the dates on the tree would definitely not have much effect if they were shaken like this, so he called the Khan and a few monkeys down.
Khan came over and immediately lined up with his men, stretching out their hands one by one and waiting for Wen Xu to give a reward. It's an old rule, not only here at Wenxu, but as long as they are used, they will be paid for themselves, and of course, if it is not a 'good job' like picking fruits, the monkeys will not be interested in doing it.
Wen Xu naturally understands the rules, in fact, this rule is still developed by Wen Xu, every time he does something, as long as Wen Xu supports it, he will give a little reward, so that the monkeys naturally form such a habit over time, if you don't give something after they work, then these guys are not good-tempered.
took out a few paper bags from his pocket, and Wen Xu filled each paper bag full of dates, a monkey and a bag of dates, which was considered a reward.
However, by the time of the Khan, his paper bag was larger than that of the other monkeys, and the Khan was the foreman of the monkey pack, and he had to be paid more than the other monkeys. If it weren't much, it wouldn't dare to stab Wen Xu, but the other monkeys wouldn't want to eat the dates, because the Khan would directly grab the dates from the other monkeys.
Therefore, Wen Xu's bag for Khan was larger than the other monkeys' bags, and it looked noticeably large and filled with a whole bag of dates.
Khan got the paper bag, stretched out his head and looked around at the paper bag in the hands of several monkeys, and found that it was obviously large, so he took the paper bag and held it in his arms with satisfaction.
"Look at your virtue!" Wen Xu struck the Khan's head with a laugh when he saw his movements.
Creak!
After protesting to Wen Xu, the khan turned around and led his younger brothers out of the courtyard.
