Chapter 45: Harvesting the Fruit

Li Guyu looked embarrassed, she didn't expect to touch her nose for the first time. But thinking of that woman's appearance and couldn't help but sympathize with her, Li Guyu comforted her in her heart and said that it didn't matter, this was just the first one, and there would be more in the future.

Li Guyu cheered himself up in his heart and continued to move towards the next family.

"Is my aunt at home?" Li Guyu walked to the door of the next house and shouted loudly inside.

"Who?" I saw an old woman on crutches in the house, staggering out of the door.

"Hey, grandma, I want to ask if your family has any leftover fruit, I want to buy two." Although Li Guyu saw that it was not the neighbor's aunt, he still asked very politely.

"What to buy? Don't sell it, don't sell it, be careful that the Red Guards catch you! The old woman's face was serious, the crutches poked the ground and thumped, and Li Guyu ran away quickly in the old woman's eyes without even saying goodbye.

Li Guyu ran to the bottom of the old locust tree, sat down to rest, she couldn't figure out, why people were idle but didn't want to sell?

Just when Li Guyu was worried, a little child flicked the glass marble to Li Guyu's feet, she picked up a little child and ran over to Li Guyu and said, "Beautiful sister, can you give it back to me!" ”

"Oh, give it to you" Li Guyu stretched out her hand and handed the marbles to the child, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, she could let the child take the fruit that their family didn't eat in exchange for money!

The child took the marbles and was about to leave, but Li Guyu hurriedly grabbed him, "Hey, let me tell you something." ”

"What's the matter? Big sister! "The child's eyes are pure, and there is no clutter.

"If there is any fruit in your house that you don't eat, bring it to me." How about my sister giving you money, a penny for a fruit? "At this time, a penny can buy three pieces of candy, which is already a lot for a child.

"Really? Big sister, is there a penny for a fruit? The child's eyes were in disbelief.

"Really, you can find your little friend to get the fruit together to repay the money, my sister is waiting for you here!"

"Good! Then sister, you wait for me" The child said and ran to find his little friend, although Li Guyu couldn't hear what he was saying to his little friend, but the little child looked at Li Guyu and ran away.

Li Guyu sat bored under the tree, she looked at the vista of the sky, the sun stained the clouds red, she had never paid attention to such a beautiful scenery in her previous life. She has always been overwhelmed by the heavy burden of life.

"Sister, I'm back." A small child, carrying a lot of fruits with his clothes, ran over like Li Guyu.

"You slow down, don't fall." Li Guyu hurriedly got up and went to meet the child.

"It's okay sister, can you see these fruits?" The child slowly lowered the fruit of his garment to the ground.

Li Guyu looked at her fruit, there were peaches and apples. All of them are very large and plump, which may be a specialty of this era.

"Yes, yes." Li Guyu counted the fruits brought by the children, and there were as many as eleven. She couldn't imagine how a child's clothes could have brought the fruit in her pocket.

After Li Guyu settled the money to the child, the child took the money and left happily. One after another, a few more children came to Li Guyu with fruits, and Li Guyu received all the orders.

"Your big sister, will you still harvest fruit in the future?" A little girl brought a lot of fruit to Li Guyu.

"Of course." Li Guyu couldn't help but reach out and touch the little girl's hair.

"Then big sister, will you still be here tomorrow?" There were a lot of dirty things on the little girl's face, and Li Guyu raised her hand to wipe the little girl's face clean.

"My sister won't be here tomorrow, you can send the fruit directly to the small wooden house at the entrance of the village, and my sister will live there." Li Guyu directly reported his address.

"Then sister, I will send the fruit directly to your house tomorrow, will you also settle the money for me like today?" The child's innocent language made Li Guyu laugh inadvertently. She thought that if her children had nothing to do back then, they would be as cute as these children.

"Absolutely." Li Guyu's affirmative tone reassured the little girl a little. So the little girl left satisfied.

Li Guyu thought that this little girl's family conditions might not be very good, so she urgently needed this income. But she is also very poor now, and she can't help this little girl.

Li Guyu waited under the tree for a while, but there were no children sending fruit to her, so she packed up the fruit she received. Carrying the bamboo basket on her back, she returned to the cabin satisfied, but because she had a very rich harvest today, she walked very slowly.

When he got home, it was already dark, Li Guyu pushed open the door and put the bamboo basket on the ground. With a big gasp, she wanted a glass of water to drink.

There was a roast chicken on the table, and next to the roast chicken was a small note that read. "I'll go buy you something to eat and come back to find that you're no longer there, so I'll leave first if there's something in my army."
