Chapter 260: The Hard Days of the Three Little Ones
In three days, more than 2,000 catties of five-spiced melon seeds were all replaced with new packaging. Then, Wang Manyin and Laixi drove the walk-behind tractor straight to the county seat.
Seeing them delivered to the door, Guo Weidong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to him, in the past few days, there have been more and more vendors selling counterfeit "Lao Wang spiced melon seeds", and some people have even begun to try to fry them themselves.
For the latter situation, Wang Manyin also expected it, but he was also a little helpless.
is still the same sentence, the threshold of the fried melon seed industry is too low.
The type of condiments you use is not a secret, and you can identify them all by picking them all at will.
Even so, Wang Manyin is still very confident. In the case that the price difference is not large, most people should pay more attention to the taste when buying spiced melon seeds.
The cumin and licorice used at home come from the space, and the quality itself is much higher than that of the outside world. In addition to the original salty aroma, the fried spiced melon seeds also have a unique fragrance and sweetness between the mouths after chewing. This is something that other melon seeds do not have.
Another point is that the spiced melon seeds packed in kraft paper bags are easy to carry, and they look beautiful and generous, and they are more classy.
These should add a lot of points to the spiced melon seeds.
In order to verify his thoughts, when Guo Weidong delivered the goods to the stall owners he cooperated, Wang Manyin deliberately stayed nearby and watched for a long time.
As expected, the new packaging of Lao Wang's spiced melon seeds attracted the attention of customers. After reading the words on the back of the package, some people suddenly realized: "No wonder I think the taste of melon seeds has deteriorated these days, and I bought a fake!" ”
After confirming that everything was going well, Wang Manyin and Laixi drove back. When he got home to rest, he carried a hoe into the ground to weed.
Since he decided to sort out a few cornfields, Wang Manyin naturally would not give up halfway. Seeing that there was no one around, he released the peregrine falcon from the space first.
The two guys hadn't been out in a day, flying into the air and circling around for a few weeks, letting out bursts of cheer. Immediately, it disappeared in the opposite mountain beam.
It was almost dark that they returned, their claws stained with blood, apparently fresh from a full meal.
Wang Manyin arrived home with a hoe and saw his mother-in-law sitting by the pool to dismantle and wash clothes.
"How many children?" He asked subconsciously.
"Where else can I go, I've just seen it, playing with people in the village milling pan...... You said that it's okay not to have holidays, at least there are teachers in charge of the school. It's just been two days off, and I can't wait to beat them up in one day! ”
When it comes to the three children in the family, Orchid is a little worried. Wang Xing is better, the two sons have itchy skin if they don't fight for a day, and they can always give you some tricks.
Either go into the water to bathe and catch fish and frogs, or run to the mountains to pick wild fruits and throw honeycombs.
Rolling back a body of mud every day, I don't listen to what I say.
Orchid is now scared, for fear that they will be in danger...... Just a few days ago, a child in Xiashan Village secretly went into the Shuangshui River to take a bath, and as a result, he drowned.
"I'll talk about them when I come back in the evening!" Wang Manyin also felt that this issue must be taken seriously. This summer vacation is more than a month, and it will definitely not work if you don't set rules.
At this time, Wang Xing ran home, his head was full of sweat.
Seeing them, the little girl hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, you go and see my brother!" ”
"What's wrong with your brother?" Orchid was startled and asked urgently.
"My brother went up to the tree to dig out the bird's nest, and now he can't get down, and he is crying in the tree!"
"Let's go, don't wash it!" Wang Manyin shouted at his wife.
The two followed their daughter and hurriedly ran towards the village, only to hear Wang Xing explain the reason for the matter on the way: when the orchid went to see before, a group of broken babies were indeed playing with the four corners.
Regardless of the blink of an eye, they found a pulsatilla bird's nest on the jujube tree next to them, and there was a chirping sound coming from the nest. Wang Lei was a fool and bold, and immediately took off his shoes and climbed the tree.
This bear child can't learn, and he is self-taught by climbing trees. But when he climbed up the jujube tree, he couldn't get down, and now he was crying on the branches.
There were still dozens of meters away from the mill, and Wang Manyin saw a large group of adults and children under the tree. One by one, they tilted their heads and talked about it.
"Wang Lei, your parents are here!"
"I'm going to be beaten now......"
"Man Yin, hurry up and talk about your boss, it's too dangerous, what should I do if I fall!"
When Wang Manyin saw the specific location of his son, his heart also jumped.
The jujube tree in front of him is thicker than a basin, and it is said that it was planted by Wang Manjun's father. In the early years, when the tail was cut, all the self-kept trees in the village were taken into the possession of the team. As a result, the jujube tree escaped the fate of being cut down.
Wang Lei's position was more than ten meters high from the ground, and the jujube branch he was holding with both hands was only slightly thicker than a wine glass, trembling and swaying with the wind at the moment.
If you're not careful......
He didn't dare to think about it, took a few deep breaths, and shouted at the tree with strong anger: "Stone, don't be afraid! Now listen to Dad, look up, don't look down! ”
This jujube tree grows alone on the side of the field, and there is no place around it that can be rescued. Wang Manyinkong has a lot of strength that is useless, so he can only guide his son to climb down slowly.
The little guy is obviously afraid of heights now. As long as you don't look down, it should ease a lot.
After listening to his father's words, Wang Lei hurriedly followed.
"Good...... Now grasp the branch with both hands and stretch out your left foot to slowly fall. Yes, step on the branch and stand firm, and your hands must be tightened! ”
Under the guidance of his father, Wang Lei fell half a meter. Several times, he descended to a distance of seven or eight meters, holding a branch the thickness of a bowl with both hands. Looking down again, the little guy was no longer afraid, and began to climb down alternately.
When the son returned to the ground steadily, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Orchid was about to step forward to reprimand, but was stopped by Wang Manyin.
"Go home, it's not early, go home!"
"Hiss, itchy, tickles me!" At this moment, Wang Lei began to grasp his body.
In summer and autumn, a yellow-green hairy pepper grows on the jujube tree. It's only a centimeter long, and it's covered with fine split hairs, which gives it a cute look.
However, when rural people see Mao Lazi, they will immediately hide away.
This thing has fine hairs on its body and is poisonous, and as long as it stings a person, it will immediately give birth to a series of pimples, which are itchy and painful. Some people with sensitive skin will also have pimples on their bodies when they are half a meter away from Mao Laozi.
Wang Lei was in fear and nervousness before, but he didn't feel itchy and painful skin. Now that my spirit is relaxed, I can't help but scream again and again.
"Don't scratch it, the more you scratch it, the more itchy it gets, I'll get it for you when I get back." Seeing more than a dozen pimples on his son's two arms, Wang Manyin was angry and distressed.
When he got home, he hurriedly made a bowl of white noodles and rubbed it with water. In just a few minutes, a large lump of slimy gluten was washed out...... This thing works very well when you catch it, and it is not bad to even get fine hairs.
Then, Wang Manyin took the dough and began to roll it on his son's arm.
After cleaning the fine hairs that had tied up his skin, he was ready to let his son undress and stand in a wooden basin and rinse with soap.
As a result, this guy immediately covered his pocket: "Dad, you wait a while, I'll go back to the house first." ”
"What's in your pocket? Take it out! ”
At the urging of Wang Manyin, Wang Lei reluctantly took out two fluffy bird cubs.
Sensing the light outside, they immediately chirped, their necks stretched out.
This is his own son, his own!
Wang Manyin could only say a few words silently, letting this guy put the bird cub away, and then bathed the other party.
After some tossing, the pimple on Wang Lei's arm was finally completely eliminated.
Then, the screams began again.
This time, mixed doubles!
And it's a real hit!
***
After breakfast, seeing that the three guys were about to slip away again, Wang Manyin immediately shouted.
"Don't go, you're on vacation, and you're idle, so I'll go to the field to weed today!"
Wang Manyin felt that the two of them were a little too spoiled for the three children. The children of other families in Jar Village, like this big, will be taken to work in the fields.
So last night, he specially discussed with his mother-in-law, and planned to let his son and daughter feel the taste of "sweat dropping into the soil".
The three little ones were naturally reluctant, but they didn't dare to resist.
They know in their hearts that their mother is usually in charge at home, but when it is critical, it is their father who speaks best.
So, one by one, they muttered and reluctantly walked towards their cornfields.
Along the way, Wang Xing complained again and again, feeling that he had suffered an unjustified disaster.
Wang Manyin just didn't hear it.
After arriving at the field, he pointed to the corn seedlings in the field and said, "In the morning, one person will take a line, and whoever finishes the grass first will rest." If you can't finish it, wait for the sun! ”
After explaining, he stopped caring about the three children and continued to be busy.
In less than half an hour, Wang Tao walked up to him.
"Dad, I'm thirsty, I want to go home and drink water,"
"There is cold boiled water on the ground, pour some for yourself!"
Less than ten minutes after Wang Tao drank the water, his daughter ran over again and said, "Dad, I'm hungry!" ”
"There are steamed buns in the cloth bag, break a piece and eat it yourself......"
For the thoughts of the little guys, Wang Manyinmen Qing has made various countermeasures in advance. I can't go back anyway.
As the dew went down, the sun grew hotter.
Anyone who has ever weed in the field knows that because the corn seedlings are shading, there is no wind in it, and it will look very hot. And the corn leaves hang on the skin, which is also itchy and painful.
Especially after sweating, the taste is simply amazing!
"Dad, it's too hot, I'm going home, I'm going home!" Wang Tao finally couldn't help it, and ran to him crying and shouting.
First Wang Tao cried, and then Wang Xing and Wang Lei also began to wipe their tears.
"No matter how hot it is, hold it back for me, when will I go home before you can leave!!" Since Wang Manyin planned to let the three guys feel the taste of life, he naturally would not let them leave easily.
There was a fire outside at noon, and the three children didn't feel hot running back and forth in the village. It's been just over an hour now, and you know it's hot?
It wasn't until eleven o'clock that Wang Manyin walked towards the village with his three children. Along the way, they were like defeated roosters, drooping their heads and weak.
When I got home, I saw my mother-in-law helping the orchid dry the sunflower seeds.
"Mom, you're here, why don't you let my dad come over for a meal?" Wang Manyin went to the sidelines and hurriedly said hello.
"Mother, mother, my dad let us work in the field......" Wang Tao saw his grandmother, found the backbone of the heart, and cried when he got closer.
Wang Lei and Wang Xing also ran over, one holding one arm, and couldn't stop wiping tears.
In the morning, their arms were all covered with red marks, and they didn't know how many times they cried.
"Man Yin, you two are really good, just take care of the children and quarrel a few times, why don't you take them to the ground to suffer. Look at the tanned people, how white the girl is, her face is black! Liu Erni kept reaching out to wipe Wang Xing's tears, but she was also distressed.
Speaking of the three children, she didn't take them with her less.
"Mom, the main thing is that they're too noisy. If you don't care about it, you have to go to heaven...... You also listened to the orchid, go up to the tree and dig out the birds...... Thankfully, there were no surprises! ”
"Besides, let them do some work, at this age, who doesn't follow to the ground!"
After listening to her son-in-law, Liu Erni didn't know how to respond.
Indeed, like the eldest girl in her own family, she already knew how to collect firewood and feed pigs when she was seven or eight years old. The three guys were born in a blessed nest and have never suffered much since they were children.
Seeing that the grandmother didn't talk to herself, the little ones finally became honest.
Liu Erni came to deliver corn on the cob. The spring corn planted in the family's own land can be cooked and eaten these days, so she thought it was a rare thing, and specially sent a few ears to her son-in-law's family.
After a few words, I had to get up and leave.
Where did Wang Manyin and Orchid go, and they tried to stay. However, the old lady was worried about the stall at home, and said that she refused to eat.
In desperation, Orchid could only ride her mother home and pick a few large watermelons from the vegetable garden by the way.
The three children were in the field for a long time, and they were tossed and choked. After lunch, they did not clamoring to go to the village to play as usual, but honestly lay down on the kang to rest.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Manyin woke up the three of them again: "Give you two choices, the first is to write your homework honestly at home, and the second is to follow me to weed!" ”
"Write homework, do homework!" The three children replied in unison.
Feeling that this trick was very good, Wang Manyin breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that in the future, corporal punishment alone cannot be carried out, and it is more effective to carry farm work.
It took him almost half a month to clean up his more than three acres of corn land. There is too much grass in the main grass, especially the corn roots, which is too troublesome to clean up.
In addition, he has also been paying attention to the sales of his own spiced melon seeds.
When he went to Yuanxi County to deliver goods, he was relieved to learn that the sales volume had rebounded significantly. This shows that the method he has taken is very correct, and people still recognize the "Lao Wang Spiced Melon Seeds".
After receiving the payment, Wang Manyin drove the walk-behind tractor to rush home.
In fact, there is no need for Wang Manyin to deliver the goods in person now, and he can completely let go of Mao Dan and Laixi to do. However, it involves the payment of goods, so he still comes to get it in person.
It's not all worrying, the key involves money, Wang Manyin thinks it's better to experience it in person for the time being.
In case something goes wrong in the middle, neither side can tell clearly. Of course, when the business grows bigger in the future, it is time to let go.
When he was halfway there, he heard a car horn behind him, and Wang Manyin hurriedly moved the tractor closer to the side of the road.
When Zhou Wenhua drove by, he deliberately honked his horn a few times to say hello.
Wang Manyin also waved his hand.
Unbeknownst to him, the car suddenly stopped in front.
When he and Lai Xizheng were wondering, they saw someone step out of the car with a satchel in their hands.
The other party shouted at them from afar: "Manyin, come to Xi, you are delivering goods in the county seat?" ”
"Uncle Lian Sheng, why did he come back?!" Seeing the appearance of the person not far away, Laixi couldn't help but exclaim.
The person who greeted him on the side of the road was none other than Xie Liansheng, an educated youth who had just left Jar Village for less than a month. After he became the son-in-law of Jar Village, his seniority rose. Even when Wang Manyin saw it, he had to shout Uncle Lian Sheng.
Wang Manyin drove the walk-behind tractor to the other party and stopped steadily.
"I was in the car just now and saw the two of you from a distance, so I asked the driver to stop...... Eat sugar, I brought it back from the city. As he spoke, Xie Liansheng took out a handful of candy from his satchel.
"Uncle Lian Sheng, what do you think of coming back this time?" Wang Manyin pinched a fruit candy and asked tentatively. Some time ago, the other party left the jar village without saying a word, causing people to talk about everything in private.
Looking at the situation in front of him, it seems that people have guessed wrong, Xie Liansheng did not plan to abandon Wang Aihua's mother and son.
"What can I think, I've already settled in the city...... This time, I brought Aihua and my dad over. ”
"How did you settle down in the past...... Do you have a way? Wang Manyin was surprised and spoke.
He had heard before that Xie Liansheng's family background was very ordinary, otherwise he would not have stayed in Jar Village for so many years.
"What's the way, my work is still waiting to be arranged."
"And what are you going to do when you go back to the city? That's four or five mouths to feed. The city is different from our tank village, and you need money to buy everything. Wang Manyin asked again.
"There are many opportunities in the city, and I have hands and feet with Aihua, as long as we are willing to work hard, we can't go hungry."
Wang Manyin felt that this person was thinking about things too simply. There are indeed many opportunities in the city, but there are not a few educated youths who return to the city. No matter what, he looked up at the other party in his heart.
At least, Xie Liansheng attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is much stronger than others.
