Chapter 498: Citrus
Gan Lin saw that it was still early, so he wanted to go around the field to see how this year's crops were growing.
"After you finish eating the fruit, stay at home and play, I'll go out and come back to make dinner later."
After telling the children, she went out in a straw hat.
I walked to the entrance of the village and saw that the fourth brother had picked up a load of wood and came back.
Gan Lin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Fourth brother, did you only get such a little wood today?" ”
Since talking to Gan Shoucheng about the wooden box that day, Gan Lin asked several brothers in the family to go out to buy wood.
In the past few days, the eldest brother and the second brother inquired in the two villages next door, and because they could afford the price, they bought a lot of them, and they were usually pulled by ox carts and horse-drawn carts. Yes
Today, the third brother and the fourth brother came back, and in the afternoon they were idle, so they took over the work of buying wood, and let the eldest brother and the second brother continue to learn to make soaphorn at home.
Now Gan Lin saw that the fourth brother only picked such a load back, so he was a little curious, "It stands to reason that the price we open is higher than that of the town, so there is no reason why we can't receive it." Could it be that someone deliberately doesn't want to sell to us? ”
Gan Ruixue waved his hand, he found a flat place to put down the burden, took a breath, and then said, "It's not that you can't collect wood." The price we offer is high, who can afford to live with silver? I went to Lujia Village today, and collected a total of 2,000 catties of wood, and I have already told that I will drive over tomorrow to pull it. I thought it was empty-handed anyway, so I just picked some back. ”
From the memory of the original owner, I know that this Lujia Village is quite far away from Ganjia Village, and it takes at least an hour to walk.
On this hot day, it is tiring to walk so far empty-handed, let alone carrying a load of wood.
Gan Lin saw that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, you rest for a while, I'll help you pick it back later, I have a lot of strength." ”
Gan Ruixue waved her hand again and again, "I'm my brother, how can I let my sister carry the burden, I'm resting on the side?" My brother knows that you have a lot of strength, but my brother's strength is not small! Linlin, don't make trouble, my brother can pick it back. ”
He said, for fear that Gan Lin would grab the burden with him, so he hurriedly pulled out the flat shoulder to protect him.
Gan Lin looked at him funny and angry, then took it out of his coat pocket, but actually took two citrus fruits out of the space and handed them to Gan Ruixue: "Fourth brother, come, eat two citrus to quench your thirst." ”
Gan Ruixue looked at the yellow citrus, and a trace of surprise flashed on her face.
Such a fresh and plump citrus shouldn't be sold in Chenqiao Town, right? At least he grew so big, and it was the first time he had seen citrus with such a bright and beautiful color and smooth skin.
"Fourth brother, take it and eat it! It tastes good. ”
Gan Ruixue stared at the two citrus for a while, then hesitantly stretched out her hand, and then retracted it, "If Linlin thinks it tastes good, keep it for yourself!" Brother is not thirsty. And I'm going home right away, just go home and drink water. ”
Such a good thing should be left for the little sister to eat.
How could Gan Lin not guess what he was thinking?
She tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled softly, both touched and sad.
"Fourth brother, take it! There's a lot of citrus here, so you can eat it as much as you like. ”
"Really?"
"Really, what am I lying to you for?" Gan Lin forcibly shoved the citrus into his hand.
"Since there are many, then brother is welcome."
Gan Ruixue peeled one and gave half to Gan Lin: "Linlin, you can eat it too." ”
After Gan Lin took it, he stuffed a petal into his mouth, "Well, it's really sweet." A hundred times better than the citrus I've eaten before. ”
