Ah, when he was a child, Lan Jie was so cute! The white and pure little person is very likable, pink and tender......

Lan Sheng rolled his eyes behind him, snorted and stuffed the snakeskin bag that was still exposed into the back of the wall, ignored the two people who hugged each other tightly, and carried the schoolbag into the house.

Lan Qi hugged Lan Jie and kissed him on his pink little face, causing him to giggle.

After picking up garbage for more than half a month, the waste behind the wall has been piled up.

At the end of the week, Lan Qi organized the two younger brothers to unscrew and flatten the lid of the empty water bottle, and packed the bottle separately from the iron waste, preparing to sell the waste if there is a collection of waste today.

The empty water bottle is two dimes for a regular one, one for a large dime, and eight cents a pound for iron, so that the waste products picked up in the past half a month have also been sold for more than a dozen yuan.

After giving the money in hand to the younger brother two yuan, and dividing it equally among the eldest brother, Lan Qi also had a few yuan in savings.

Looking at the few dollars in his hand, Lan Qi twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking about whether she could also wander around on vacation?

Lan Jie took the two yuan given by Lan Qi, he was very happy, and pulled Lan Qi to run to the only store in the village: "Sister, let's go, buy spicy noodles." ”

Lan Qi remembered the spicy strips of "Beef Ramen" that had been discontinued when she grew up, and her heart was also a little hot, so she picked up Lan Jie and walked quickly into the commissary. As soon as I entered the door and smelled the unique spicy smell, I felt a lot of saliva secreting from my mouth.

took a few packets of beef ramen, and led Lan Jie back home quickly to prepare to eat.

One pack for each of the three of them, eating sweetly, the familiar taste in the memory made Lan Qi want to cry.

"Sister, I'll help you next time." Lan Jie ate a pack of spicy strips and poured a lot of cold white water. At this time, he rubbed his belly and looked at Lan Qi with a satisfied face.

"That's okay, then next time my sister sells the scrap and will give you two yuan." The two yuan given to him is actually equivalent to buying a snack for everyone to eat together, after all, the money used for the spicy strips just now is the two yuan in Lan Jie's hand. Lan Qi didn't think kindly, children are really easy to be satisfied! But this is just Lan Jie's young age, like Lan Sheng will not be like this, this product is estimated to have hidden the money he just got when they went to buy spicy noodles.

After eating and drinking, Lan Qi boiled hot water neatly with her hands and feet.

Lan Qi's house does not have a water heater, and the water is boiled by using a large iron bucket cut under the side as a stove to boil water.

Lan Qi skillfully inserted a log under the iron bucket, and then supported a log in the middle of the iron bucket for Lan Sheng to support. Connected to the wood under the iron bucket, he picked up a sack containing sawdust and poured it into the iron bucket around the wood, compacted it, and then removed two pieces of wood to light a fire and boil water.

Lan Qi pulled a piece of newspaper, lit a fire and threw it through the small hole at the bottom of the iron bucket, and when the sawdust slowly burned, she could set up a large aluminum pot to boil water.

Such a bucket of sawdust can boil several pots of hot water, which is enough for Lan Qi's family to take a bath.

"Xiaojie, find clothes, sister will give you a bath!" Seeing that the hot water in the pot was boiling, Lan Qi filled the teapot first, took the bucket and scooped a few spoonfuls, mixed it with cold water to bathe Lan Jie.

Don't look at Lan Jie's young age, he is not sloppy at all. quickly entered the house and pulled the clothes and pants he wanted to wear, and when he came out, he quickly undressed with the help of Lan Qi.

Lan Sheng put the bigpot on the ground and scooped two spoonfuls of mixed hot water into it. In this way, Lan Jie can sit in it, it is always troublesome for children to wash their hair, but fortunately, Lan Jie's hair has been shaved, and there is only a short layer.

Lan Qi wiped the towel on the top of his head twice and it was done.

Ms. Song went to the street today to get feed for the pigeons, and depending on the time, she will be back soon.

As soon as he thought about it, he heard the familiar sound of a motorcycle, and suddenly drove towards Lan Qi's house, followed by a small truck.

Ms. Song skillfully rode her motorcycle up the small slope in front of Lan Qi's house. After Ms. Song turned off the fire, she organized the people in the pick-up truck to carry the bales of feed into the shed of the pigeon house in the back house.

The feed for the pigeons is divided into categories, a bag is packed separately, and each pigeon keeper may have different raw materials, so the feed store is packaged separately from different materials, and the raw materials bought back are mixed and matched by Ms. Song herself. There are sun-dried corn kernels, peas, mung beans, and hemp seeds, and every time she mixes the raw materials, Lan Qi always gets two yuan for her hard work.

Early the next morning, Lan Qi put on a mask and gloves and went into the room specially zoned out to mix the feed, mixed the raw materials poured out by Ms. Song, and then put them into bags.

It's not easy to earn two dollars, it's hard work, and every time it's done, it's gray all over the body.

In addition to mixing raw materials, it is also necessary to shovel pigeon dung, which is also a hard fee of two yuan.

Shovel pigeon droppings, to shovel out the pigeon droppings under the cage, and after shoveling it should be carefully swept clean and sprinkled with white ash, almost once a month, otherwise it is not conducive to the healthy growth of the pigeon.

The pigeon manure shoveled out has to be packed in a bag, and a package can be sold for a few dollars.

The people in this village all make a living by raising pigeons, so every once in a while, big trucks come to collect pigeons and pigeon droppings.

After Lan Qi packed the raw materials bag by bag, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. Lan Qi hurriedly washed her face, and then pulled Lan Sheng to pick up waste again.

At the beginning, Lan Qi thought that if they just picked up waste, they couldn't go too far, and there were only these places close to each other, and there was nothing to pick up.

However, she has to make a small profit now, and she has no capital, so only picking up waste is the most suitable.

At the very end of the village is a toy processing factory, where you can often pick up some bad toys in their garbage dump. So every time they pass by here, Lan Qi and the others will pull it to see if there are any good things they throw away.

Generally, the bad products they throw away don't really affect children's play. Just like this time, Lan Qi picked up a small wooden box, and the inside of the small wooden box was layer by layer, making it look like a forest, with trees and grass, and one or two ghosts were distributed on each layer, which was a scene from the forest in the animated movie Princess Mononoke.

The ghost inside the small wooden box will glow, and after being in the sun for a long time, it will emit an emerald green glow in the dark.

When I picked it up when I was a child, I was very happy for Lan Qi. This time, it was still met by Lan Qi. Even if later generations are used to seeing things better than this, Lan Qi still feels quite happy, after all, this is a childhood memory.
