When the sun was about to set, Aunt Xin had already made dinner, a pot of thick meaty bone broth, plus a stir-fried green vegetables, now there is no need to worry about whether there is a meal or not, Xin Ran is very open, and the mother and daughter are satisfied.

The small green vegetables are home-grown, after the last time the land was opened, Xin Ran gave the potatoes germination and seeded, and most of the small round potatoes in half a basket were planted only half an acre of land. Aunt Xin looked at the empty land and was very distressed, so she took care of the land and planted some seasonal vegetables, the vegetable seeds were given by the Li family, and when the vegetables could be eaten, she sent a basket to the Li family, and the remaining radishes and other seeds were not yet planted, and the remaining land was temporarily empty.

After eating, Xin Ran said to Aunt Xin, "Mother, I'll go to Aunt Li, and I'll be back later." "Okay, just do the rest of the mother, slow down on the road." After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Aunt Xin washed it, covered Xin Ran with enough hot water, and went to the house.

Xin Ran went out in the moonlight, feeling the tranquility around the village, not like the hustle and bustle of the city, only the most primitive sounds of nature. Mei Zizi thought that she would be able to eat chestnuts soon???

She told the Li family that she was going to harvest hawthorn tomorrow and went home.

The next day, the village was very busy, every household got up very early, except for the elderly people with small milk dolls at home, the villagers with a little strength went up the mountain to find hawthorn.

There are dozens of families in Baicun, about a few hundred people. Everyone is afraid that it will be too late and will not be able to pick it, and they are all very positive, after all, one more article is one article, and it is good to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

"Mother, when are we going to Xiao Ran's house?" Li was cleaning the chicken coop, and the smell of chicken poop wafted from the yard. Glancing at his idle and bored daughter, he was reluctant to let her work, "What's the hurry, the people in the village won't come back so soon, eat early later, and wait until noon, we'll go over." ”

The Li family didn't go up the mountain today, and since they promised others, they would do things well, and it would be a bit unreasonable to go to pick hawthorns again. Li cleaned up the house and cooked the meal, Xiao Ru asked the younger brother Li Xin to go to the field to call her father, Li Xin was waiting at the door to dig out the ant nest, and when he heard this, he went immediately, and he was bored here. Today, all the friends in the village have gone up the mountain, and he is left alone.

Li Xin is only seven years old this year, nicknamed Xinwa, Li originally wanted to send him to school next year, but unfortunately he is a person who does not love books, the eldest brother Li An comes back occasionally, he will teach him to read, but he is also angry, and now he can't even memorize the three-character scripture, thinking about digging bird eggs all day long, and going down to the river to fish.

After lunch, Uncle Li's family came to Xin Ran's house, with a basket made in advance, this is what Li thought of, otherwise where would they put so many hawthorns? Xinwa's soft grinding and hard bubbles made her mother agree to let him go out to play, and now he has long since run away. Xin Ran was eating with her mother, but she didn't expect them to come so early.

"Uncle and aunt, why are you here so early? "You're eating, and it's okay at home, so I'll come early." It's okay, it's okay, you eat" Xin Ran took two benches out and put them in the shade at the back of the house for them to sit, "Auntie, it's cool here, you can sit here." I have pastries at home, and I'll give them to you later. Xiaoru, what about Xinwa? Xiaoru pointed to the mountain, Xinwa didn't know where to run for a long time.

Uncle Li put the five large bamboo baskets by the door before going to sit on the bench at the back. Xin Ran thought that the house should be up, otherwise there would be no place for anyone to stay.

After eating, the two families chatted together, and the Li family was worthy of foresight, and even brought insoles...... Uncle Li couldn't stay any longer, so he went to pull weeds in the field next to Xiao Ran's house. The two little girls had been whispering together for a long time

Around the time of the unitary hour, people came one after another. Seeing that someone was coming, Aunt Li and Xiaoru took the basket and roughly saw if there were too many products, and if there were any, they were picked out, Uncle Li helped to weigh it, and Xin Ran kept the account and calculated the money and sent money. Aunt Xin specially placed the well-known hawthorn into the prepared big basket.

After a while, there were gradually more people, Li was an anxious man, and when he saw that the people were too chaotic, he shouted loudly, "Everyone come in order, no robbery, no squeezing, soon it will be your turn." "Aunt Li, you should hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to go back to cook." A young woman urged. "Urge, urge, what, the old lady is not tired yet? If you're in a hurry to cook, you don't have to pick hawthorn. Who makes two bucks easy? Da Lang's family, you are still too young. Xin Ran listened to Li's loud voice and smiled secretly, Aunt Li is really powerful.

Li Shi chatted with people while working, his throat was smoking, on a hot day, who is not in a hurry, but is it useful to be in a hurry?

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was about to set on the mountain, and the number of people slowly became less. Li refused Aunt Xin's stay. The family went home in a hurry, and it was not too late to eat together next time, I was too tired tonight.

As she was about to pack up her things and finish the day's shopping, a woman came in a hurry. "Xiao Ran, I'm late, can I accept it? Don't accept me, I'll come back tomorrow" The person who came was Aunt Zhao, Xin Ran remembered that when she walked through, she came to see her, and brought an egg.

"Auntie, did you just come back from the mountain?" Xin Ran weighed the back basket she had, more than 20 catties, and a little less than 30 catties. "No, I've been back for a while, and I saw so many people here before, and I went back again." Aunt Zhao replied with a smile. Xin Ran counted a hundred Wen to her, but Aunt Zhao didn't answer, "Xiao Ran, it's too much, not so much." ”

The hawthorns she picked were all picked up big and red, the samples were very good, and they looked very gratifying, Xin Ran knew that she was strong and did not want to be favored, so it was said that the hawthorn was of good quality and could be sold for more money, Xin Ran stuffed the money into her hands and collected the money.

"Auntie, you come back early in the afternoon, it's not safe to be alone in the mountains." Xin Ran said a little worriedly. Aunt Zhao responded with a smile and went back with the basket on her back, Xin Ran looked at her lonely back, and her heart was a little touched. This is a strong and unyielding woman. Where is her son? Won't already be ......

Hurriedly ate dinner, Xin Ran sat on the edge of the bed to settle the account, today a total of 1,800 catties of hawthorn, tsk, the people have great strength, spend 5,400 Wen, that is, more than five taels, give Uncle Li's family wages, tomorrow Uncle Sun will transport the hawthorn away... You can earn... Eighteen taels, almost a net profit of twelve taels, hehehe...... Hee-hee-hee-hee...... house house, I'm coming......
