They dig yams after the autumn harvest every year, and in the spring, Ming Erlang subconsciously thinks that the yams can no longer be dug up.

However, Mingyue knew that yams could be harvested in autumn or buried in the soil for the winter, and then dug in the spring before they sprouted.

She said to Ming Erlang very firmly: "It hasn't budded yet, you can still dig it!" ”

As she spoke, Mingyue stretched out her hand and pointed to the area where she was standing, "I don't believe you can see for yourself." ”

Ming Erlang really took a look, and after looking at it, he found that it really didn't bud, and Ming Erlang suddenly danced with his hands - this thing is a yam, and if you take it to the town, it can be sold for a good price.

Enough fun, Ming Erlang began to dig yams with his five friends.

The yams were difficult to dig, and the tools they brought with them were not particularly handy, so they worked for most of the day before they finally dug up the three baskets of yams in front of them.

"Master, don't you know, the second brother is really ruthless. If we don't finish digging, he won't let us go down the mountain. I said that I couldn't carry it, and I came back to ask my eldest brother to go to the mountain, but he wouldn't let me. Ming Shilang followed the elders of the family to his yard, and at the same time did not forget to sue his second brother for a small case.

Mingyue couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips when she heard this-this fourth brother of hers was quite clever, she only said that his second brother didn't call people home, but she didn't say that his second brother was because he felt sorry for his eldest brother who had been busy in the field for a day, so he couldn't bear to let his eldest brother go up the mountain again to help carry the basket.

However, he didn't say it, but Old Man Ming's heart was like a mirror, he raised his hand and patted his grandson's head, "You bad boy." ”

Shiro was not annoyed when he was exposed, and leaned over with a hippie smile and hugged his uncle's idle arm, "Uncle, you are really amazing, such a heavy basket, you can actually carry it." ”

Mingtang laughed, "You kid, are you afraid that your second brother will clean you up, so you came to me as a shield first?" ”

Shiro laughed.

***

Everyone laughed and entered the yard, the three brothers of the Ming family and Da Lang Mingxu went to place the baskets and baskets brought back by the children, and Mrs. Ming beckoned a few children.

"It's back, if you don't come back, I'll let your eldest brother go to you." The old lady looked at the children as she chattered, until she was sure that they had not even scratched the oily skin, and then the old lady drove them to wash.

"Hurry up and wash and change your clothes, look at you sweaty, don't catch a cold again." As she spoke, the old lady raised her feet and went into the hall to call her three daughters-in-law, "Hurry up and find some clothes for the children, I see that they are all sweating." ”

When Xie, Tao and Zhou heard this, they hurriedly put down their work to take care of their children, while Mrs. Ming took over several daughters-in-law, busy serving vegetables, soup, and rice back and forth in the hall.

After a while, Ming Xu lifted the curtain and walked in, "Milk, I'll help you." ”

Mrs. Ming smiled with a look of relief, "No, it's just a matter of setting up dishes and chopsticks, your milk can do it." ”

Ming Xu didn't force it, "Then I'll go to the house and look at Xiaoxue." ”

"Xiaoxue is still asleep, you can help me bring her over." Mrs. Ming assigned tasks to her eldest grandson while doing things.

Ming Xu said "hey", and sure enough, he went into the house and hugged his second sister Mingxue out.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mingyue and others, who had finished washing and changing their inner clothes, followed their mothers to the main house one after another.

The table has been set up in the house, Old Man Ming, Mrs. Ming, Mingdi, Mingcheng, and Mingtang are sitting at the table gossiping, and Xiao Mingxue, who is tightly wrapped, is nesting in the arms of his lobby brother lazily yawning.

Zhou thanked Ming Xu before taking his daughter and holding her in his arms.

Everyone sat around the table and ate a simple and rough but warm and happy dinner as usual.

After the meal, Mrs. Ming asked Erlang to tell the family about their harvest today.

Erlang's eyebrows danced, but Old Man Ming and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it.

Thirteen wild eggs, six rabbits, three baskets of yams, a basket and two baskets of thorny old sprouts that are said to sell for eight cents a pound, they are afraid that they are not dreaming.

Everyone looked at each other and directly ignored the "three baskets of wild vegetables and a little weeds fed to rabbits" reported by Erlang at the end.

After a short silence, Old Man Ming was the first to speak, "Go and bring everything except rabbits, pick it up, and let Dalang and his son take it to the town and sell it tomorrow." ”

As soon as Mrs. Ming heard the word "rabbit", she hurriedly told Mingyue about her plan to raise rabbits.

Old Man Ming has never disagreed with Mrs. Ming, since Mrs. Ming said that she had agreed, Old Man Ming didn't say anything, he just nodded simply, "I know, let her raise her if she loves it." ”

Zhou was surprised.

You must know that an adult hare must weigh three or five pounds, and according to the price of 20 yuan a pound, two hares are more than 100 yuan.

A hundred or even dozens of dollars of things are just raised for children to play with, and Zhou feels that his heart is pinching - this is not a loser!

She was slandered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all - her father-in-law and mother-in-law had already nodded and agreed, and she said that no matter how much she did, she couldn't change the result, so why did she rush to offend people.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Mingyue, Dalang Mingxu, and Erlang Mingrang followed Mingdi, the boss of the Ming family, to the nearest town to their Wulitun.

The town is called Taiping Town, and there is only a short five-mile road (2,500 meters) from Wulitun to Taiping Town, so when people in Wulitun go to the town, nine out of ten will choose to walk, and the rest will carry heavy objects that must be taken in a car.

Mingyue and their group of four people chose to walk, she was carrying two baskets full of yams, her eldest brother Ming Xu was carrying a basket of yams and a basket of thorny old buds, and her second brother was relatively relaxed, only carrying the four hares to sell.

Of course, the most relaxed is undoubtedly the Mingyue girl who shook her hands and followed Mingxu beside her.

She originally wanted to help carry the two baskets of thorny old sprouts, but who knew that her grandmother actually directly changed a big basket for the thorny old sprouts.

Right now, the big basket full of thorny old shoots is being carried on the shoulders by her eldest brother.

The four of them walked all the way to Taiping Town, and then walked directly to the spacious street in the center of the town, paved with bluestone and full of various shops.

"I'll go find your little uncle, you wait here first." Mingdi left his son and niece outside the Jufu Restaurant, and he wiped his sweat and walked into the restaurant.

The "little uncle" in his mouth refers to Chen Bai, the husband of Old Man Ming and Mrs. Ming's youngest daughter Ming He.

Chen Bai is 24 years old this year, is the old buddy of this Jufu Restaurant, he is honest and honest, hard-working, although he is illiterate and has no skills and can not be useful, but because of his character and has been very trusted by the owner.

In the past, the Ming family had something to sell to Jufu Restaurant, and Mingdi also came directly to Chen Bai to help match.

Of course, Mingdi is an honest man, he will not ask Chen Bai to say good things about his own things, and he never expects other restaurants to raise the price for them in Chen Bai's face.

All he asked for was to ask Chen Bai to help bring a message to the shopkeeper, as for whether people would accept it or not, and how much it would cost, he clearly felt that this was not something that Chen Bai could do.
