The neighbors all felt that it was not a good feeling in their hearts, as soon as Zhu Qiwen and his family left, there were only these five children left, and Yuanning was a little girl who had to pull four younger siblings, which was not easy.

They all said: "If there is any difficulty, just ask, everyone in the neighborhood will definitely help if they can help!" ”

Yuan Ning hurriedly thanked him and politely sent the person away. She also knew that none of these people's words should be true, and this moment of sympathy would not last long. Time passes, and it will definitely dissipate. After all, no one is very rich.

After sending the neighbors away, he watched Zhong Ling scoop the boiled oil into the jar and put the oil residue into the bowl, so he discussed with her: "It's nothing tomorrow, otherwise let's eat dumplings, this oil residue won't taste good if it is left for a long time." ”

Zhong Ling looked at the oil that couldn't be shoveled out of the bottom of the pot, and felt very sorry, and nodded again and again when he heard the eldest sister say this, "That's right, so that this oil won't be ruined...... but soon felt that it was not right, "But in this way, we will have to eat more white noodles......"

"You girl," Yuan Ning nodded lightly on her forehead, "Now, we can afford to eat!" I'm in charge of the house, and I'm in charge! Refuse to refute! ”

Zhong Ling pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.

When it was finished, everyone returned to the house, and Yuan Ning asked Bo Zhong to light a pine branch, go and close the courtyard door, sit on the kang and take off all the money bags on his body.

Several people sat together and counted 1510. At first, Bo Zhong and Zhong Ling were still counting, but later there were hundreds of them, and Shu Yu only knew a lot of money, and he had no concept of numbers.

Yuan Ning's hands were a little weak until the end, but he told his younger brothers and sisters a number: "A total of seven hundred and fifty-four Wen!" ”

The three younger siblings' eyes widened when they heard this, "That's a lot!" ”

Yuan Ning smiled, "Two pennies for a meat bun, our pile of money can buy one hundred and seventy-seven meat buns!" Think about it, how many meat buns can we eat in one meal? ”

Shu Yu counted with his fingers, a little uncertain: "Ten?" ”

"Let's count it according to ten," Yuan Ning nodded, "Even if it's eighteen meals, three meals a day, that's six days." Well, if you eat meat buns all at once, let's eat this bunch of money dogs for six days. ”

Zhong Ling's eyebrows tightened, "How can you eat meat buns all at once!" Eldest sister, what if you eat something else? ”

"Think about it," Yuan Ning said, holding his cheeks, "If it's a yakiniku, it's cheaper, let's eat a pancake." It should be able to eat for half a month. If you eat multigrain cakes, you can eat them for more than a month! ”

"Wow," Shu Yu's eyes widened, "the eldest sister and the eldest brother go out and earn back a month's worth of food!" ”

"It's more than that," Bo Zhong reacted, "and we've spent some more." "It cost money to buy meat, steamed buns, and baked cakes! In other words, the money earned by going out this trip can be eaten for a longer time.

When I think about it, I feel distressed.

Yuan Ning smiled: "Look at your stingy appearance!" The fruit in our orchard is not even one-fifth, that is to say, in the end, the money we earn from the fruit grove is enough for our family of five to eat for half a year. ”

"Ahh So much? Zhong Ling couldn't believe it.

Bo Zhong said on the side: "If we hadn't picked so many fruits at the beginning, wouldn't we have been able to make more?" ”

"That's not how the accounts are calculated," Yuan Ning shook his head, "If I hadn't picked those fruits, the fruits wouldn't have grown so big now." Without our hard work, we wouldn't be able to sell it for so much money today.

"It can only be said that there is a give-and-take. Bo Zhong, you can't just look at the front when you look at things in the future, you have to know the truth of standing tall and seeing far. ”

Bo Zhong nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, and asked the bottom of the question: "But why do you pick those fruits, and the fruits will grow now?" ”

"Well," Yuan Ning thought for a while, and then organized his language before saying, "You must know that fruit trees need to draw nutrients from the soil to support their own branches, leaves, flowers and fruits, and these nutrients are limited, if they are scattered to provide many fruits, then each fruit will get very little."

But if the number of fruits decreases, does it correspondingly increase the amount of nutrients for each fruit? If you have more nutrients, you will naturally grow up.

"It's like us children, eating a lot and eating well can grow faster, it's the same truth."

Bo Zhong's eyes were gloomy, "That's why the clan only thought about separating us at the beginning......"

"Okay," Yuan Ning touched his head, "Don't think about the things that have passed, aren't we here now?" ”

Bo Zhong lifted his spirits and nodded vigorously: "Yes, we are still in the same place!" We'll always be together in the future! Eldest sister, don't worry, we won't be a burden to you! ”

"Silly boy," Yuan Ning smiled, "Now that you are all young, don't think too much about what you have." ”

Bo Zhong was silent, the eldest sister had already worked hard to support the family, and they couldn't let her worry about it anymore.

Yuan Ning has not been idle these days, often carrying a hoe to hoe and fertilize in the ramie field, and watering it once before freezing.

She didn't expect that this fertile field was really incomparable to Botian, originally thought that these ramie could only be harvested once this year, who knows, it's just such a few days, and it actually grows another stubble, it seems that it will be harvested again in ten days.

However, the weather is getting cooler, and the growth rate of ramie is gradually slowing down, and it is impossible to harvest this stubble again.

After dealing with the ramie field, she took Bo Zhong to the fruit forest again, and this trip could pick even more fruits, and they picked five large baskets, and with the strength of the sisters and brothers, they could not get back to the village at all.

The two discussed for a while, and simply left the basket in the fruit forest to prevent it from being stolen, and Yuan Ning also decided to stay in the forest for the night. Let Bo Zhong go back and contact the ox cart, and early tomorrow morning, ask Zhang Ergou, who is driving the car, to help carry the basket to the car.

Zhang Ergou is still easy to talk to, and when the time comes, I will give him a little benefit.

Bo Zhong was naturally not at ease, so he discussed with her to go home and talk to Uncle Zhong Ling, and spend the night with her.

Yuan Ning refused, "It's autumn now, and the dew is heavy and cold at night, what if you get sick because of this?" ”

Bo Zhong's eyes turned red instantly, "But isn't the eldest sister afraid of the cold and sick?" We said we wouldn't separate no matter what......"

Yuan Ning said: "Look, I'll put these baskets together later, pull a straw rope around this side, and then cut some grass to block the wind."

"Dig a hole in the ground, find some dry wood, and light a fire, so it won't be too cold. But this place is too small, and it's okay to accommodate one person, and no one can sleep well if there are two people.

"Ming'er got on the ox cart, I can squint for a while, you can take care of me and these fruits, if we are both here, no one will have the energy tomorrow."
