was already a little accustomed to Shen Lan's sudden conjuring of things, and Shen's father didn't ask Shen Lan when she did it or how to do it, but nodded to indicate that she knew, and then set up the ox cart and went home early in the sky.

After Shen's father left, Shen's mother and Shen Hailing continued to be busy planting vegetables, and Shen Lan's special illness was naturally not allowed to go to the ground, so she just watched from the sidelines, but when she was watching, she was silently thinking in her heart, thinking that she could try to plant some in the space, if she planted in the space, the harvest would definitely be faster, so that she could eat the vegetables she grew earlier.

So when Shen's mother finished planting the vegetable garden, Shen Lan secretly took the remaining seeds, and prepared to take time to open a small piece of land in her own space to grow vegetables, so that she didn't have to eat wild vegetables anymore.

Next, Shen Zhao helped Shen Lan to work hard, and finally finished the slightly focused work of Shen Lan's family with Shen Hailing, and then he was free.

Seeing that Qingming is not far away, it is a good season for tea picking, the villages near Jixian County have tea mountains that produce tea, usually in the season of picking tea, there are many idle women who go to the mountains to pick tea to supplement the family, like Shen Lan, a husband is not at home, and is separated by the in-laws, it is a person who lacks money to soak in water to drink, how can he let go of such a thing, besides, the tea picking is not difficult, it is relatively boring, Shen Lan is also competent.

In fact, Shen Zhao's only occasionally talked about it, and he was remembered by Shen Lan, so he discussed with Shen Zhao's family to go to Chashan to pick tea to earn some pocket money, otherwise the family would not have a penny, and it would always be unreliable.

In fact, Shen Zhao did not approve of Shen Lan picking tea, mainly because picking tea leaves for a whole day could not earn two cents, which was generally done by those children, but Shen Lan couldn't stand it, so he had no choice but to agree to pick tea.

At this time, the tea is a penny a catty, and the wages for picking tea after Gu Yu are even lower, about two catties of tea are only a penny, so most people are reluctant to pick tea, and the little girls from five or six years old to more than ten years old will go to the tea mountain to pick tea to make a little money, of course, there are also women who are idle will also take the time to pick tea, but generally not much, and almost all of them come to pick tea before Gu Yu, and the wages at this time are relatively high.

Compared with picking tea to make money, she is willing to make a few more baskets, but Shen Zhao also knows that her daughter's family does not have a bamboo garden, and there is no bamboo to use to weave baskets.

After breakfast, Shen Zhao took out two small baskets and a small basket respectively, and then locked the door and took Shen Lan and Shen Hailing out of the door, this lock was bought together when he bought the pot that day, although there was nothing at home that could be stolen, but Shen's father still bought a lock, in fact, according to Shen's father, this lock is not a thief-proof, but a thief-proof, when the family was separated that day, Song Ruhai and his wife wanted to occupy Shen Lan's dowry, in case one day, Shen Lan went back to her parents' house or what she was doing and was not at home, I'm afraid that the undead Song Wang clan will enter Shen Lan's house and move things away, no matter how valuable they are, they are also Shen Lan's things.

So when he bought pots and farm tools, Shen's father decided to buy more locks, and now they are used, after Shen Zhao locked the door, he stuffed the key to Shen Lan and asked her to put it away, and then the mother and son walked towards the outside of the village.

"Daughter-in-law Wenxiang, where are you going?" When she passed by the door of Song San's sister-in-law's house, Song San's sister-in-law happened to see it, so she asked with a smile.

Thinking of Song San's sister-in-law's care for herself in the past, Shen Lan also wiped her smile back, and then replied: "I went to pick tea with my mother, will my sister-in-law go?" ”

"Picking tea, then bring my Lianniang, anyway, she is also crazy at home, go to pick tea to earn a few dollars and keep it for the Dragon Boat Festival to buy flowers in the county." Although there is still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival at this time, Song San's sister-in-law's words are not bad.

"Okay, let's wait, sister-in-law needs to hurry." Shen Lan responded.

And Shen Zhao's family naturally has no opinion, after all, her daughter wants to live in Songjia Village, so she naturally wants to make more good connections, so that she will not be bullied in the future.

"Okay, I'll go and call my Lianniang, my aunt and eldest brother will take care of it." Song San's sister-in-law confessed her guilt and went into the house to call Song Lian.

After a while, Song Lian hurriedly ran out of the house with a small basket, and it seemed that Shen Lan shouted shyly, "Sixth aunt." ”

"Hey." Shen Lan responded with a smile, and then rushed to the third sister-in-law of Song who walked to the mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will look at Lianniang." ”

"Then it's going to be a trouble for my brother and sister and aunt." Song San's sister-in-law politely entrusted Song Lian to Shen Lan's mother and daughter.

"It's not troublesome, it's still lively with one more person, then let's go." Shen Zhao said with a kind face, and led a few children to say goodbye to Song San's sister-in-law and walked towards the outside of the village.

After walking seven or eight miles to the place where the tea was picked, there was no need to say hello when entering the tea garden, and directly began to pick tea, at this time in the tea garden, in addition to Shen Lan and a few others, Shen Zhao also greeted several of the women, and it seemed that they were people they knew.

took the basket Shen Lan and began to pick tea leaves, Shen Lan had done tea picking, she was still studying at that time, and when the school organized a spring outing, she went to Zhejiang to pick tea, she still remembered that the master who was responsible for guiding the picking of tea at that time said that picking tea leaves is two leaves and one bud, so Shen Lan also picked according to this method at this time.

The tea leaves in the tea garden are green, they are all new buds, very tender green, because they come out of winter, so the tea at this time has no pests, the tea at this time is the best, but also the most expensive, Shen Lan still has a certain understanding of tea, in fact, she used to like to drink tea the most, but she didn't like to drink drinks.

It's just that she likes Tieguanyin and black tea, and she doesn't have a preference for green tea, and she doesn't know if there are these two kinds of tea in this time and space, even if there are, Shen Lan doesn't want to drink them at the moment, so Shen Lan also thinks about it, and her hands still keep picking tea leaves.

"Lan Niang, you can't do this, you don't have a pound of tea a day, you have to be like Niang." Shen Zhao was not at ease, so he ran over to see the tea picked by his daughter, but when he saw Shen Lan looking for tender tea leaves like embroidery, he immediately opened his mouth to remind.

"Huh? Isn't it two leaves and one bud? Shen Lan took a closer look at Shen Zhao's tea picking, and found that she was completely indiscriminate, no matter what kind of leaf it was, as long as it was tender and green, she picked it off.

"Of course not, when I see the tea leaves, I will pick them all, this is spring tea, tender, if you pick according to the requirements of the owner, you can't pick a pound a day, isn't it a waste of time?" Shen Zhao spoke angrily.

In fact, the best tea is one leaf and one bud, but after all, tea pickers only want to increase the amount of tea, whether it is a large leaf or a small leaf, as long as it is green, they are all picked, and they are usually pulled, where will they be picked as carefully as Shen Lan.

"Oh, I see." Shen Lan nodded, and immediately changed her way and learned from Shen Zhao's appearance, after all, she was trying to make money, and she didn't pick it up and drink it herself, if she picked it back and drank it herself, then it would be carefully selected.

According to Shen Zhao's way, Shen Lan's speed really increased, and after a while, the bottom of the small basket was paved, and there were more and more tea leaves in the basket, and from time to time Shen Zhao came over to look at Shen Lan, and saw that she had entered the state, and slowly didn't care about Shen Lan, but Shen Hailing said that it was picking tea, and as a result, he was running around and having fun.

When picking to noon, Shen Lan and others will take the tea to the roasted tea factory to weigh the catties, because the tea leaves will be burned in the basket and basket for a long time, so the fried tea is not good, so it is generally the morning to weigh the tea, on the spot to settle the wages, if the afternoon continues to pick tea in the afternoon and then weigh the time, in addition to the tea can not be taken away, generally at the exit of the tea garden will be guarded and checked.

Entered the tea factory and handed over the tea to the person who weighed the tea, and picked a morning before Shen Lan picked a catty of two taels of tea, while Shen Zhao picked a catty of seven taels, Shen Hailing picked less than four taels because of the play, and the family also picked three catties and three taels of tea, and gave Shen Zhao three cents of money, and the remaining three taels were bookkept, and they waited until they were weighed to be full of one catty.

And Song Lian picked a pound and a tael, and the person who weighed it also handed her a penny, and also kept the remaining one or two to keep an account, and after weighing the tea, a few people asked for some water from the tea factory and went to the tea garden where the workers were resting to sit down and drink, because the tea factory was not stingy with tea, or the people in the tea factory were used to drinking tea, and the water they begged for turned out to be tea, but it was not good and it was oversoaked, so light that it almost couldn't drink the taste of tea, this was the first time that Shen Lan drank tea in this time and space.

The faint taste of tea may have been brewed too many times, but it does not have the original bitterness of tea, and there is more taste in it than drinking boiled water, but Shen Lan is still not used to this kind of tea.

After drinking the tea, Shen Zhao took out a fist-sized breadfruit from his basket and gave it to Shen Lan.

"You can't stand hunger, eat quickly."

Shen Lan stretched out her hand to take it, and just as she was about to eat, she saw that Shen Zhao did not continue to take it, and Shen Hailing, who was looking at it with his eyes, also turned his head away.

Shen Lan didn't understand a little, she obviously prepared lunch for three people in the morning, why did her mother only take a small piece for herself, and she didn't mean to eat it at all?

"Mother, why don't you and Hailing eat?" Shen Lan put down the food in her hand and asked.

Shen Zhao smiled reluctantly: "Your brother and I can withstand hunger, you are pregnant, and your body is not good, you can't be hungry." ”

After speaking, Shen Zhao also swept Song Lian with his eyes, and Shen Lan finally understood, it turned out that there were outsiders here, and it was not good for Shen Zhao to take things out to eat.
