Chapter 58 Employment of Child Labor

Zhang Yaohua When they were about to finish pulling peanuts, the sky suddenly changed, and there was a white scene in the distance.

Experienced people, seeing this scene, basically know the plot behind.

"It's going to rain, and it seems like it's still heavy." Zhang Yaohua reminded.

Zhang's father naturally saw it, and immediately sped up his movements, and complained at the same time: "The weather forecast didn't say that there was rain!" ”

They have the habit of sticking to the weather forecast every day.

No way! Ordinary people have to watch the sky to eat many times. Both farmers and fishermen are more concerned about the weather.

"Don't pull it out! Go back first, and do the rest tomorrow. Zhang Yaohua suggested.

It doesn't matter if he gets wet, I'm afraid that my parents won't be able to stand it, after all, he is also a little old.

But neither his father nor his mother agreed.

"There's so much left, what are you waiting for?"

Zhang Yaohua had no choice but to speed up.

However, the rain from the south seems to be fast. After a while, the white rain had arrived in their village. This rain is estimated to have struck a lot of villagers who were drying things, and caught many people off guard.

Zhang Yaohua was depressed, is this the sun raining?

In the past, adults often said that they should not be exposed to the sun and rain, and that they would have diarrhea and diarrhea, which was not good for the body anyway.

When I grew up, I realized that it was a lie woven by adults to prevent us from getting wet. When they were young, children were amazed by the sun and rain and would run out to feel it. That's why the adults lied to us.

"It's too late, let's go!" Lao Zhang said.

Looking at the heavy rain that was coming, he didn't want his wife and son to get wet in the rain, there was no need.

Not far from their peanut field, there is an old house that has been abandoned for a long time, and as long as you get there, you can take shelter from the rain.

Mom looked at the peanuts with three rows left and didn't pull them out, and was a little unwilling, but in the end reason prevailed. As long as you have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, you will definitely not be able to bear it, and you will have to pull it out in the rain.

The three of them quickly ran to someone else's old house and hid under the eaves.

These old houses are mud brick houses, which were uninhabited more than ten years ago and have been in a state of abandonment ever since. Some of them even collapsed a wall, and weeds grew inside the house, which is a dilapidated house.

To shoot a ghost movie in a place like this, you definitely don't even need to set it up.

The door of the old house was open, but Zhang Yaohua and the others did not go in, and there was an eerie feeling inside.

"Am you not mistaken? Stop here? Zhang Yaohua couldn't cry or laugh.

That's right! The rain stopped a few meters in front of them, creating a yin-yang day, that is, when it rained, the sky was clear.

"That's good, our peanuts won't get rained." Mom said happily.

You know, most of the freshly pulled peanuts are still piled up in the ground! In a hurry, they only carried a small part.

Although the freshly pulled peanuts are not affected much by the rain, and they have not yet reached the stage of drying, it has increased the difficulty of picking them home and become much heavier.

Of course, you can also pick peanuts directly in the ground, after all, peanut seedlings are useless now.

If it is left behind, the peanut seedlings will have to be dried in the sun and used for fertilizer, and the villagers will not waste anything of value.

They hid from the rain for a while, and when they found that the rain had not crossed the line, they simply returned to the peanut field and continued to pull out the rest. When they had finished plucking, the rain stopped.

It was a short shower.

After the rain, the sky cleared, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.

The people in the village were talking about the rain just now.

There are also parents who are swearing.

For example, Aunt Dongmei sprayed Shui Wang and Ah Hui who stayed at home and played games. I had dried fish at home, and I asked you to help guard it, but it was drenched.

If the rice is so neat, Shui Wang may have to consider running away with a bucket.

Rice and the like, it is easy to sprout after a rain, and my mother is not so simple as scolding, and it is estimated that she will beat people.

When he got home, Zhang Yaohua began to pick peanuts to separate the old and young peanuts.

The tender ones are kept for tonight, and the old ones are washed and dried.

Zhang Yaohua caught more than a dozen children passing by, caught strong men, asked them to help pick peanuts, and invited them to eat ice cream and other snacks after cooking.

The cost of child labor has increased considerably, and when he was a child, a candy or a handful of melon seeds could do it all morning. What is it like now? There are no snacks worth more than two dollars, don't want them to work.

In addition, children seem to be lazy at home and active when they are outside to help others.

"Pick some good, don't fool the hell! Otherwise, go to the commissary, and I'll fool you too. Zhang Yaohua gave them vaccinations.

"Uncle Hua, just take a look!"

As long as the money, or snacks are in place, they will definitely pay attention.

With the help of this group of little guys, the peanuts were quickly picked, and sure enough, there was a lot of strength in numbers, and the great man was right.

When it was Zhang Yaohua's turn to fulfill his promise, he took a group of children to the village commissary.

Don't look at the commissary, but this is a small department store, and almost all the small goods needed in the village are available.

In the past, the most conspicuous place in the commissary was a row of glass jars and a large clay jar. The glass jar is filled with liquor, egg rolls, melon seeds, rice cakes, etc., all of which are sold in bulk. The large clay jar is filled with soy sauce, and everyone comes to buy soy sauce with their own bottles.

That's how the word "soy sauce" came about.

Baijiu is the same, it is all rice wine with a high degree.

But now, the layout of the commissary has changed a lot. The most obvious thing is that the row of tanks is gone, after all, who still carries a bottle when buying wine and soy sauce now? It's all bought whole bottles.

Instead, there are two freezers, one for ice cream and other things for children, and the other for beer and drinks.

All kinds of snacks are also in front, after all, children are the most important customer group of the commissary!

The owner of the commissary was a little old man, and when he saw Zhang Yaohua coming in with a large group of children, he knew that it was a big customer and hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Hua, can I eat this?" A little guy is the same thing.

In fact, Zhang Yaohua is older than the fathers of these little guys, to be precise, he should be called uncle, not uncle. But Zhang Yaohua didn't bother with them, just call uncle!

Zhang Yaohua fixed his eyes, it was a thing that combined eating and playing. The shell is a monster, or a car or something like that, with edible sugar in it, etc.

It can be eaten and used as a toy, which naturally wins the five-star recommendation of many children.

"Hmmm! Yes, take it! But only one can be picked. ”

It's not cheap, more than five bucks.

Zhang Yaohua also pointed to the Wahaha milk in the store and said, "Give each of them a bottle." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Yaohua's eyes fell on the homework book on the shelf: "That homework book, give each of them two copies, only the checkerboard?" ”

"There's also a two-line book, or a checkerboard, a two-line book?" The commissary owner suggested.

"Hmmm! OK. ”

The group of little guys were dumbfounded for a few seconds, and then said very "considerately" that they did not lack homework books and did not need to break the bank.
