A rich fruity aroma slowly fills the room.

The ground on the kang, which was still empty, was now filled with fruit.

Red apples, yellow-orange pears, bright red jujubes.

How to look how fresh, how to look how sweet.

Jiayin also knew that it was really embarrassing for the old lady to take it out so suddenly.

But at this time of year, the price of fresh fruit is good.

Especially when it is shipped to a wealthy place like Kyoto, many people must buy it as a New Year's gift.

In addition, it's a pity that no one eats such a good thing hanging in the small courtyard of the space.

Although the space yard has a fixed function for plants, whether it is grain or fruit, as long as it is ripe, it will not rot if it is not picked.

But it is useless to save it, and it is of course best to exchange it for silver.

Therefore, Jiayin left a little in case of emergency, and she took the rest off.

At first, she only thought about self-sufficiency, not about planting orchards to make money.

So the front yard and the back yard were planted together, apples and pears, the same two.

plus a crooked-necked jujube tree in the front yard, and two chestnut trees outside the courtyard wall, there is nothing beside it.

At this time, she regretted it, she knew that she would cross, and she had to be more diverse.

But if you look at the various frozen meat and seafood in the freezer, there is no sign of thawing and rotting.

She didn't dare to be greedy anymore and fell asleep with confidence.

After all, she has only passed 100 days, she doesn't have much mental energy, and she is busy picking fruits, and the burden is also very heavy for her...

Mrs. Li saw her granddaughter fall asleep in seconds, she couldn't cry or laugh.

She turned around the ground a few times, and quickly opened the door a crack so that people could call Li Laosi to come back.

Li Laosi sat down next door and gossiped for a while, and when he heard that the old lady had something, he quickly ran back.

Mrs. Li dragged her son in, and she didn't want him to be surprised, so she whispered.

"Don't ask anything, you and your daughter-in-law come secretly at night, and we will pack all these fruits."

When the family asked, you said they had brought it back from the south.

Then when I go to Kyoto, I take it with me and sell it there.

Someone in the dart bureau asked, you said that our family picked it from the mountains in the autumn, understand? ”

Li Laosi nodded stunned, swallowed his saliva hard, and couldn't help but say.

"Mother, there are too many of these, there are not so many baskets at home?"

Mrs. Li also had a headache, so she clicked two empty cigarette pouches and pots and instructed.

"Then go borrow it, put it outside the yard, and bring it in in the middle of the night."

"I'm not familiar with the people in the village, but the third brother is the most familiar, especially the old men next door.

I just walked around and saw a lot of wicker baskets in the wings.

It must have been made up by being idle on weekdays. ”

Li Laosi pointed to the next door, Li Laosi was too happy, close to the water, this can solve a big problem.

Jiayin slept until midnight, and before she could open her eyes, she heard the sound of laughter in the house, and she thought that her home had been burglarized.

When I looked closely, I saw my grandmother and my father and mother loading the basket through the dim oil lamp.

Roughly calculated, there are more than 20 baskets of apples and pears, and more than a dozen cloth bags of red dates.

Mrs. Li was busy knocking on her lower back, obviously tired enough.

Jiayin was weak and closed his eyes decisively.

continued to pretend to be asleep, but actually ran to the space again.

The things that can be taken out before and after the small courtyard to help the family are almost there, but the five acres of land behind have not been picked up.

These five acres of land have four acres of corn, one acre of potatoes, and a small amount of cabbage and winter storage vegetables such as radishes and carrots.

Thinking about the exhaustion of picking fruits, Jia Yin is really scared.

But you can't do the work, after all, you have to farm with your family in the spring.

When the time comes, it will be convenient to cheat and help the family have a good harvest.

Fortunately, there are still two or three months left before spring, and she can harvest slowly...

When she got up early on the second day, Zhao Yuru saw that her younger siblings didn't get up, so she made breakfast by herself.

When the porridge was served, Tao Hongying hurried in with a yawn.

"What's the matter, are you sleepy?

The circles under my eyes are dark. ”

Zhao Yuru asked casually, Tao Hongying didn't want to deceive the concubine, and because her mother-in-law didn't let her say it, she responded vaguely.

"I did a little bit of work for my mother."

Zhao Yuru didn't have time to ask again, so Mrs. Li shouted to start the meal.

The family sat around and drank millet sweet potato porridge, with stir-fried pickles, shredded cabbage, and a bunch of two-fold dough cakes.

When she had to put down her chopsticks, Mrs. Li instructed the fourth.

"Ask the dart bureau when you will leave for Kyoto and bring you back with all the fruits.

There are a lot of nobles in Kyoto, so they sell at a good price, and they also add a little more money to their families. ”

Everyone was puzzled when they listened, "When did the fourth child bring back the fruit?" ”

Mrs. Li waved her cigarette bag and glared.

"I just need to know, what do I have to report to you at home?"

Everyone really shut up, only Jiayi was excited, and he could follow the fourth uncle to Kyoto again.

After eating, Li Laosi hurried into the city.

Everyone in the dart game also wanted to come back for the New Year earlier, and set off tomorrow.

So, Li Laosi and Jiayi set off again after just two peaceful sleeps, and they didn't even see Jiaren, who rushed back after hearing the news.

Good news is just to cause trouble, no matter the end of the sweep.

After giving away the fruit, she waited for the family to collect the money, and she didn't have to worry about how to sell it.

Recovering the land was hard work, and she was tired and had more time to sleep during the day.

The old lady and Tao Hongying were worried, and they were very entangled in whether they sent her to the city for a pulse diagnosis.

However, after eating and sleeping like this, sleeping and eating, Jia Yin has gained weight again...

Winter is the season of boring, especially after drinking Laba congee.

Outside, the water drips into ice, even if you go out to the thatched house, you have to trot back and forth, and no one wants to gossip around.

As a result, every family nested on the hot kang and lived a real cat winter life.

Li Laoer still wanted to teach the children to write and calculate in the morning, so Li Laosan found a few pieces of wood and knocked them in the hall.

Nailing a few small maza, it is convenient to sit on the fire on weekdays.

Wu Cuihua got up at night and contracted the cold, so she simply used this as an excuse to lie on the kang for half a month and refused to get up.

Mrs. Li didn't want to take care of her, so she only took Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying to do needlework and sew new bedding.

In order to transport the fresh fruits to Kyoto, almost all the bedding at home was taken and wrapped in baskets.

So much so that everyone slept directly on the mat, without a mattress, and the quilt had to be closed...

So the old lady gave up her silver and bought a lot of new cotton and coarse cloth.

directly sewed four beds of bedding, the second, third, and fourth plus her, and one bed for one person is very fair.

Jiayin woke up bored, babbling and calling two naughty brothers to ride a big horse for her.

I walked around the house a few times inside and outside, and I wanted to go out and have a look.

Helpless, as soon as I arrived at the door, I was scared away by the cold wind coming out of the crack in the door...

As the days passed, I saw that we had reached the twentieth day of the lunar month.

The family was cleaning the yard, and when they were sweeping and scrubbing, Li Laosi and Jiayi rushed back on time.

Compared with the last dart, this time the two of them obviously didn't eat much.

Except for the two red pieces on his face, there are no injuries on the side.

The family hugged them into the house, and Li Laosi began to pour the package again.

"Mother, things in Kyoto are expensive, I didn't want to buy anything, I only bought two pairs of shoes for you and Fu Niu'er."
