On this day, the Shen family's breakfast Xu cooked a big pot of sweet potato porridge and a big pot of sweet potato wotou, and the baked sweet potato cake was the family's lunch at noon.

After all, it was the first sweet potato feast, and Shen Shuang still ate it with relish.

After breakfast, the genius was bright, and the Wan family had already picked up the two sisters and brothers, Shi and Shen Cuini, who usually slept until late, Xiaoshan obediently followed Shen Shuang's side, except for her mother to go to collect pigweed and firewood, and Shen Tusheng had already gone to the town to work, and the rest of the Shen family had to pick peach gum to make money.

Wan crossed his waist and ordered the family, his voice was very loud and full of energy, Shen Shuang listened to her grandmother's tone and excitement, not like she was going to pick peach gum at all, but like she was going to pick gold.

"Listen to me, whoever picks more peach gum today, I will reward whoever has a penny."

Shen Shuang couldn't help but want to snicker when she heard this, a penny, it is estimated that stones and small mountains are rare, but she had already given the first few pennies to the two little radishes before, they were just children with big hearts, and there was obviously no reaction at this time.

Seeing that no one reacted, Wan pouted and said warnly, "But if anyone can't even pick up a basket, you are not allowed to eat dinner tonight, and the old Shen family does not raise waste, do you hear clearly." ”

"Also, no matter who you meet about our family going up the mountain to pick peach gum and sell it for money, if anyone dares to say it, see if I don't clean you up and break your legs. Especially Stone and Trini, you two covered my mouth tightly, and if you dare to leak it, I will peel off the skin of both of you. ”

Shen Cuini can sleep until dawn every day, she is standing and dozing off at this time, and she didn't listen to half a word at all, Xiao Wanshi saw her like this, and hurriedly pushed her, and said flatteringly, "Mother, Trini and Shi both know, I look at the two of them." ”

Wan Shi was angry when she saw Shen Cuini dozing off, but she didn't bother to get angry when she thought of such a big event as picking peach gum today, "Bring water and sweet potato pancakes for lunch." Your father and I will go out first, and while it is still early, we will go separately and go up the mountain separately, so that no one can see it. Everyone, you take care of the house, collect pigweed to feed the pigs earlier, and then go up the mountain to collect firewood. ”

Wan Shi and Old Man Shen went out first with a basket on their backs, and after a while, Xiao Wan pulled his three children out of the house, and his steps were very brisk.

"Oh, you better go quickly, pick more and sell it for more money. Stone, when the peach gum is sold for money, my mother will buy you maltose. ”

Shi covered his mouth with his hand and shook his head as he walked, "Mother, Sister Xiaoshuang said that if you eat more sugar, your teeth will fall out, I don't eat it, I don't want to be a toothless young man." ”

Xiao Wan pinched his son's ears angrily, "Jing nonsense, what does she know?" Didn't you see how fat she looked? It's just that I used to eat too much sugar to do this. ”

Shi retorted dissatisfiedly, "Sister Xiaoshuang knows a lot, and Sister Xiaoshuang is losing weight now." ”

Shen Cuini was very sleepy, so she could only squint her eyes and walk with her mother one foot deeper, and the whole person seemed to have no energy, and when she heard her younger brother say good things about Shen Shuang again, she was so angry that she wanted to beat him again, but before she could do it, she remembered that she was scolded by her grandmother and father last night, and she didn't dare to do it at all, and her mother and eldest brother were on the side.

Shen Cuini looked at her younger brother who was being held by her mother, looked at him hatefully, and scolded in her mouth, "Shen Shishi, why do you say good things about that fat pig all day long?" How much did she give you to eat? A meat bun bought you, you are the stinky boy who eats inside and outside the milk said, hum, I won't recognize you as my brother in the future. ”

The stone was pushed by Shen Cuini, but Shen Zhuzi, who followed behind him, grabbed him so that he didn't fall, he was also angry, remembering his still bruised arm, "Hmph, I'm not rare for you to be my sister, Sister Xiaoshuang is good to me, she also said that she wanted to teach me to write, but you grabbed meat buns with me to eat." ”

Xiao Wan saw that her daughter was about to scold her daughter when she beat her son, and she was very surprised when she heard Shishi's words, her eyes rolled, and she quickly pulled her son and asked, "What?" Stone, did she really say she was going to teach you how to write? ”

Shi scratched his head, and said a little happily, "Yes, mother, Sister Xiaoshuang said to let me write with Xiaoshan, and give us a reward for writing well, I still have a brush, Sister Xiaoshuang bought it." ”

Xiao Wan's eyes lit up, thinking that those brushes might have been given by Jiang Zitong, they must be good things, it would be better to use them for her eldest brother's cow baby, she didn't plan to let the stone learn to write, in her opinion, reading is a useless thing, "You go home and give all the things she gave you to your mother." ”

The stone wondered, "Mother, don't you want to learn to write too?" ”

Xiao Wanshi poked his head and said angrily, "What are you writing?" Your father, your mother, and I can't write, and I'm not living well, so you can just give it to me. ”

The stone sighed, but didn't think much about it.

Shen Cuini listened to these words, she became even more angry, and couldn't help but speed up her pace and walk ahead, in her opinion, Shen Shuang just wanted to buy her brother Shishi, but she didn't have a good heart.

Shen Zhuzi has never liked to talk, but quietly followed his family forward, without saying a word the whole time.

Not long after Xiao Wanshi left home, Shen Shuang went into the house and put a bag of flour and a large bag of pastries, plus a knife of pork and some vegetables that had just been picked from the vegetable garden into a back basket for her mother to carry to her mother's house.

Shen Shuang helped her mother carry the basket and send her out, "Mother, I have packed everything for you, you go and come back quickly, I will solve the pigweed and firewood with my father and Xiaoshan." ”

Xu Shi was still a little worried, "Why don't I let someone help carry it, there is so much work waiting to be done at home." ”

Shen Musheng stood aside and nodded, "Child, it's okay, Xiaoshuang and I are capable, you can go with confidence, go early and return early." ”

Shen Shuang watched her mother go out with a big basket on her back, and then she and her father led Xiaoshan out together, in addition to picking peach gum, they also had to cut pigweed and collect firewood.

There are a lot of tender pigweed on the hillside near the peach forest, and there are a lot of dead branches in the peach forest, so it is not a problem to cut the pigweed and collect firewood while picking peach gum.

By noon, Shen Shuang had already cut a large basket of pigweed, and Xiaoshan helped his father pick up firewood while climbing trees to pick peach gum, and the firewood was also picked up, but their peach gum had not picked much yet.

After eating the sweet potato pancakes, Shen Shuang arranged their next itinerary, "Dad, Xiaoshan and I are picking peach gum here in the peach forest, you first carry the pigweed and firewood back, and then carry the back basket back to fill the peach gum." ”

"Okay, then you and Xiaoshan pick the peach gum first, and I'll carry the things back first."

After Shen Musheng carried a large basket of firewood and pigweed down the mountain, Shen Shuang also led the hill to start picking up the peach gum, and the little wolf cub who followed them lay down where many peach blossom petals fell asleep, Shen Shuang played a prank, took the peach blossom petals on the ground and covered the small things.

The peach forest was very wide, and she didn't touch her grandmother and stones, but this was the depths of the peach forest, where she hadn't been before, and there was a lot of peach gum on each tree.

Shen Shuang's body was bulky and couldn't climb a tree, so he could only use his height advantage to pick the peach gum on the trunk, while Xiaoshan climbed the tree to pick it.

When Shen Musheng came back with the back basket, the two sisters and brothers had already filled the back basket, looking at the full peach gum, Shen Musheng thought of the silver that the Jiang family gave to his daughter, and he couldn't help but think about who to sell these peach gums to while picking peach gum.

"Xiaoshuang, if these peach gums are really that valuable, when your grandmother sells them to Manfulou, will Yunlailou lose a lot."

Shen Shuang didn't expect her father to think about this, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Dad, of course not, because Man Fulou won't want these peach gums at all." ”

Xiaoshan saw that his father was coming, he couldn't help but be lazy, while folding peach branches while picking peach blossoms, occasionally picking a few peach gums, hearing what his father and sister said he didn't understand, he lay on the branch of the big tree and hugged the peach branches, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Shen Musheng was very surprised when he heard his daughter's words, but he didn't understand what was going on, "What? Why doesn't Manfulou want these peach gums? ”

Shen Shuang saw that she was tired from working for so long, so she found a place to sit down with her father to explain these things, she felt that her father was also a reasonable person, and it didn't matter if she said these things, "Dad, peach gum can be eaten and how to eat it, I said it to Jiang Gongzi, if it weren't for me, you and grandma wouldn't know that this peach gum was originally called peach gum, and it was edible food, right?" ”

Shen Musheng's face suddenly realized, he suddenly felt that he seemed to underestimate his daughter, "This, it turned out that Xiaoshuang and Jiang Gongzi said it?" You learned this from the capital, right? ”

Speaking of where she learned this, Shen Shuang seemed a little weak-hearted, but she still pretended to nod calmly, and then gently said a word, "Yes, Dad, since Man Fulou doesn't know the use of these peach gums and Chaotian peppers, they will only treat grandma as a liar, and they won't want these things that don't know the purpose at all." ”

Shen Musheng was a little anxious, "Then are these things we picked still useful?" You kid, why don't you explain it to your grandma. ”

Shen Shuang looked at her father a little helplessly, "Dad, I said everything I should have said yesterday, but grandma listened to the words of the second aunt, and what she wanted was to sell these things at a high price and directly overturn the cooperation between me and Jiang Gongzi." If doing business is like this, I'd rather not do it. ”

Shen Musheng felt reasonable when he heard his daughter's words, and at the same time felt a little embarrassed, "This, this is also, we are not making money from the two families, since you taught the cooking method to the cook in Jiang Gongzi's family, then these peach gum and Chaotian peppers, we still have to sell them to their family." ”
