Chapter 16: The Monkey Picks Peaches
"Oh oh -
Perhaps because the owner is the captain, this five-flowered rooster has become the "chicken head" in the village, dangling horizontally in the village every day, and always followed by a little hen.
The fat man rubbed his eyes, rolled over, muttered "a thousand cuts" in his mouth, and fell asleep again.
Bang bang bang, there was a sound of knocking on the window outside, which shook the paper shed.
"It's not a good idea to let people get some sleep. The fat man got up, put on his pants, and walked out of the door shirtless, only to see the bigfoot sister-in-law and his mother standing in the doorway.
"Fatty, my peaches have been picked, and you have weighed them. Sister-in-law pointed to the two large baskets of fresh peaches beside her and said happily.
As soon as he heard that he was supporting the work, the unhappiness in the fat man's heart immediately disappeared, and he took out a hook scale from the house, and weighed the peaches with his sister-in-law and his man.
This scale was bought by the fat man when he entered the city, although the price is a bit expensive, but considering that it will be used in the future, it is also worth the money.
The number was recorded in the notebook, and the two of them left with a basket on their shoulders. The fat man looked at the backs of the two of them and couldn't help nodding: these two people are more active in the village.
After breakfast, one after another, he began to get on the master, you have two baskets of him, and the fat man is very busy.
A large group of scouts circled the fat man's ass and followed him to do chores. The fat man told them to put the peaches they had collected into wicker hoards, and to put them on soft tomato grass all around.
Before the grass was pulled back, it was requisitioned by the fat man first.
Between each floor, too, they were covered with straw so that the peaches would not squeeze each other. Thanks to these half-sized children and little girls, there are many people who are fast, and the fat people are idle, just move their mouths.
Seeing that only a dozen households have not yet come to deliver the goods, the fat man is also relatively satisfied: yesterday's mobilization work was done well.
Gradually at noon, Qiqi suddenly asked a serious question: "Uncle Strange, our peaches haven't been picked yet?"
The fat man couldn't help but pat his thigh, although he was not short of the two money now, but this cutscene must be gone, how can he do it if he doesn't take the lead.
There was no need for the fat man to squeak, and the two fat men hurriedly set up a ladder to move the bench, ready to go up the tree to pick peaches.
Qiqi is ingenious, riding on the neck of a fat man, just enough to pick the big peach on the tree, faster than anyone else.
Soon the peach trees in the front yard were finished, and the large army rushed to the backyard, and just as they were about to move, they saw a black shadow flash on the book, as fast as lightning, and jumped from one tree to another with a whoosh.
Before the fat man could see it clearly, the two fat men shouted: "The hairy monkey-"
A little golden monkey squatted on a branch, with a pair of watery black eyes, and a red peach in his paws.
"There are monkeys in this place too?" the fat man wondered.
"Every year at this time, monkeys from the mountains come into the village to steal peaches. While explaining the fat man's doubts, the second fat man picked up a piece of Tulaka from the ground, raised his hand and threw it at the little hairy monkey on the tree.
The monkey leaped up the tree, then bared his teeth below, and threw down the half-gnawed peach in his hand, which hit the snot baby right in the head.
The wild boys suddenly became furious, and their mouths were full of strange screams, looking for clods of soil all over the ground. A few also pulled out slingshots, loaded stones, pulled out of stance, and prepared to shoot.
"Don't move, it's mine!" Little Lori suddenly spoke, although she was not big, but her appeal was not small, and the babies immediately stopped.
"Monkey, come down, come down—" Kiki stretched out his arms.
The hairy monkey squeaked, scratched its ears and cheeks, and didn't know what it was thinking. A round ball of sugar appeared in Qiqi's hand: "Come down and have candy to eat." ”
The snot baby next to him swallowed a mouthful of spit: "I want it too." ”
The hairy monkey finally couldn't resist the temptation, jumped down from the tree a few times, climbed in front of Qiqi, stood up, stretched out his hairy paws, grabbed it in the palm of his hand with great agility, and then stuffed the candy ball into his mouth.
Of course, the fat man understands that no matter how delicious the sugar ball is, it is not so powerful, mainly because of the personality charm of little Lori. This little guy is born with an inexplicable lethality to animals.
Qiqi stretched out his little hand and touched the hairy monkey's hairy brain, and the hairy monkey shook the monkey's head, seemingly reluctant, but at the insistence of the little Lori, it also obeyed.
Little Lori naturally took an inch, pulled up the monkey's paw with her hand, and pulled her hand like a pair of good friends. The hairy monkey scratched its head with its other paw, and then swooped up on Kiki's shoulder and scratched lightly in her hair, but to her disappointment, Kiki's personal hygiene was better and did not inflict lice.
Although the monkey was small, Kiki was not very big and had a hard time carrying it, but Kiki still tried to hold on.
The two fat men were stunned for a moment, and they were so envious that they couldn't help but stretch out their little slaps. The hairy monkey suddenly became powerful, grinning with its teeth, and with a stroke of the monkey's paws, no one dared to be blind anymore.
Qiqi became more and more energetic, and pointed to the tree with one finger: "Maomao, pick peaches." ”
The monkey was so clever that he understood what she meant, and swooped to the tree, grabbed the peach and threw it down, using both paws together, very quick.
"Not bad. The fat man nodded in satisfaction, and then led the half-sized men to pick peaches under the tree, while Kiki squatted to the side, giggling and laughing.
No wonder she can't think about it, this kind of life used to probably only appear in her dreams, but why not the fat man?
After picking the peaches, the hairy monkey and Qiqi held hands, and it seemed that this guy didn't want to go. Anyway, Kiki likes it, and the fat man doesn't care about it.
Now the fat man's home is full of life: there are wild boar cubs in the pigsty, two little yellow dogs in the kennel, two kittens in the kang head, no, there are many monkeys in the house, and they are all about to catch up with the animal world.
In the afternoon, there was basically no one to deliver peaches, and the fat man was more leisurely, so he went to the production team and shouted in the loudspeaker: "Each household has a laborer, and after dinner, he will carry peaches outside the mountain." ”
The owner of the car also drove the cart out, and took advantage of the fact that the sun did not set, and went out of the mountain first. Others, led by fat men, carry wicker hoards on their backs and embark on a journey.
It is inevitable that some of them will mumble that they have done farm work all day and do not ask anyone to rest at night. However, looking at the fat man's back, the hoard is the largest, and he doesn't dare to make a loud noise.
Captain Li was reluctant to go, but he was forced to be framed by the fat man, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and when he heard these people, he was even more upset: "What are you arguing about, come out to do some work, and grind, why do you work harder than one by one on the kang at night!"
Everyone stopped hearing this, and walked out of the mountain in the hazy moonlight. Perhaps they don't realize how much significance this step will have for the entire backer.
The fat man walked vigorously and walked in the front, and the wicker hoard of more than 100 catties was behind him, floating lightly, and it was effortless at all.
Although he has a cheat, he can get these peaches alone, but the fat man doesn't want to be so flamboyant. The main thing is that these people in the village must experience this first-hand experience in order to keep up with the pace of the times.
In this sense, you can't blame the fat man for being unkind.
