Shanwa Small Rich Farmers - Chapter 834

I heard that Wen Xu’s family was going to collect dates, and early in the morning, some children ran to the yard eagerly waiting to eat the dates. Naturally, Wen Xu had to ask the children if they had eaten them. Who knew that a group of little guys shook their heads like waves It was like a drum, so Wen Xu made wontons for the little guys again, Wen Nu made more than a dozen bowls of wontons alone, and two drawers of buns filled the stomachs of these little devils.

When it was eight o’clock in the morning and almost nine o’clock in the morning, the main force of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old real jujube hunters came. The older ones were embarrassed to come over for breakfast, so they all came after eating at home . Elderly people like Wen Shigui, Wen Shijie, Wen Shiqing and others also came here. For them, tasting the dates from the old jujube tree has a special meaning, so they all came together. The only ones who were absent were the middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s in the village. They are now the main force of work, busy in the fields of each family. How can they have time to join in the fun.

In addition to the people from Wenjia Village, there are also some acquainted guests who brought their children to join in the fun, and let their own children learn a lot. There is no such scene in the city. Jujube, where can I see such a big jujube tree now?

  So the small courtyard of Wen Xu’s family has been bustling with activity since early in the morning, and now it’s even more like going to a market, with a lot of people standing in the courtyard.

   “Shixu, why hasn’t the fight started yet?” Wen Shijie said to Wen Xu as soon as he entered the courtyard.

  Wen Xu said: “I just finished eating, so I have to digest it!”

   “You’re digesting. Didn’t you see that even the monkeys on the wall can’t wait?” Wen Shijie pointed at the group of monkeys on the wall of Wenxu’s courtyard while talking.

With such a big battle today, even the monkeys knew that Wen Xu’s family was going to shoot jujubes, so the monkeys appeared on the wall one by one. Now they dare not come down, fearing that the Bomber Demon King couple will become famous and fight. to himself.

But they also knew in their hearts that when the jujube hunting starts later, the demon king and his wife may not have the energy to take care of themselves. , I can only eat jujubes from this tree once or twice a year. So at this time, they waited eagerly for the hunting to start in the yard, so that they could go in and get some fresh dates to eat.

  There are monkeys that can enter the courtyard. Apart from Khan, there are two or three strong monkeys, and the role of these monkeys is naturally to climb the tree to do their favorite thing-shake the tree!

   “Khan looks like he’s still awake.” Wen Nu reached out and tapped Khan.

Khan really didn’t seem to wake up at this time. Yesterday he and his old brother Bawangyi drank a lot of beer. This morning he looked a little hungover, but it doesn’t matter if he wakes up or not. It is here mainly to make other monkeys more obedient. Of course, if you expect monkeys to pick dates, stealing them is inevitable. If you don’t let them eat them, don’t expect them to pick them.

   “Get started soon, we have eaten a few dates and there is still work to do in the field.” Wen Shiqing began to urge.

  Wen Xu said: “Okay then, let’s start!”

“Guangcheng, Guanghong…” Wen Xu called out a bunch of names: “Go over there and get the pole, and start fighting! Khan, take a few guys to the top of the tree and shake the jujubes on it for me “.

Hearing Wen Xu’s yell, the young men from Guangcheng took the green bamboo poles that had been cut down in the yard into their hands, stood under the tree and began to beat dates, while Khan took some of his men to rub it up the tree.

As for Wen Xu, she stood under the tree and kept drinking the Demon King and the Red Devil couple, telling them not to throw a few monkey nuts. After drinking a few times, the Demon King and the Red Devil put down the nuts in their hands and stood on the ground. From the branch of the tree, I looked up at several big monkeys jumping towards the treetops.

  As the bamboo pole was swung, jujubes fell to the ground continuously. At this time, the happiest children were the children. They rushed forward and began to pick up the jujubes on the ground and put them in their mouths without wiping them. While chewing, I went to pick up another one, but I couldn’t pick it up in my mouth and hands, so I lifted up the jacket and used it as a pocket, and I picked up a full pocket in a short while.

  Older children will be able to pick dates, especially jujubes that are more red, but they should not be too red, as some of them will be overripe.

Older people like Wen Shigui smiled and looked beamingly at a group of children playing dates. For them, the appearance of a group of juniors competing to pick dates seemed to remind them of their own family. When I was young.

  A few monkeys came to the tree, stood on the branch and squeaked unceasingly. While shouting for joy, they hugged the branch with both hands and began to shake. Their strength is not small, a few big monkeys shook together, and immediately a large piece of jujube fell down, like a burst of jujube rain from the sky.

   Ouch!

Hahaha!

  The sound of joy reached its peak at this moment. Taking advantage of the chaos, the monkeys squatting on the wall also rushed down and began to pick up the dates on the ground, but they had to guard against the devil and the red devil while picking.

This year the monkeys are more unlucky, because the little squirrels of the Devil King couple have just grown up and have not left the nest, so this year the couple’s helpers are not limited to the nearby first-born children, and those who have not left the nest little squirrel. So when the monkeys jumped down the wall one after another, a group of squirrels began to protect Zaoer spontaneously, and one by one rolled up their small arms to become javelin fighters. Squeaking adds a lot of fun to the yard.

  Wen Shijie bent down and picked up two or three jujubes in his hands, then turned his head and distributed them to Wen Shigui and Wen Shiqing next to him: “Taste it!”

  The three elder brothers each took a bite, and slowly tasted it while chewing.

“How is it?” Wen Xu also picked up a jujube from the ground at this time, and just fell in love with a red date, but it’s a pity that Wen Xu just bent over on the other side and stretched out a small hand to pick it up. The hand had to change its position in mid-air, and picked up a whole green jujube.

  The whole green jujube is crisp, and the whole red jujube is sweet. Wen Xu picked up the jujube and put it in his mouth and took a bite. After chewing twice, he felt that this year’s jujube seemed to be sweeter than last year’s.

  Wen Shigui also felt it: “This year’s jujube seems to be sweeter than last year’s!”

“Then next year, we won’t reduce the jujubes.” Wen Xu also felt that this year’s jujubes were a bit too sweet, and the jujubes he said meant that when the jujube trees were just bearing fruit, Wen Xu listened to Mr. Chi’s words and beat Duzi Some jujubes came down. In the eyes of the old man, the jujube tree is too crazy. Reducing some jujubes will help the remaining jujubes to develop better.

Now that Wen Xu took the jujube, he didn’t feel that the jujube was bigger than last year, but the sweetness was too sweet. Some people would say that the jujube is not sweet. Normally, sweetness is good, but there must be a limit to everything. In Wen Xu’s view, jujubes are too sweet and can’t achieve a balance with crispness. It’s okay to eat one or two, but if you eat too much, it will be a bit boring.

   “I think it’s okay!” Wen Shiqing prefers to eat sweet ones, and after eating two or three in a row, he thinks this year’s dates are pretty good.

   “Have you harvested honey? When will you make candied dates, and make more this year, your family’s candied dates will support people!” Wen Shijie asked Wen Xu while eating the dates.

   Wen Xu shook his head: “Not yet, I’m going to collect it tomorrow!”

   “How much can you charge this year?” Wen Shijie asked Wen Xu.

Wen Xu thought about it for a while: “No matter what, it can be three or four hundred catties! I didn’t eat much black honey all summer, that is, last time when the daughters-in-law were in confinement, they got about ten catties for each of them. It is estimated that now The honeypot is full.”

  Wen Shigui heard Wen Xu say this, and couldn’t help but looked at him and shook his head: “You are lazy!”

   “Who usually eats this, it’s so sweet.” Wen Nu shook his head.

   “Then how many of our brothers will help you tomorrow?” Wen Shijie said.

   “Hmm! Okay!” Wen Xu nodded.

This job is not suitable for young people, it takes some patience to do it. Generally speaking, the boys are a bit sloppy, and they are afraid of offending bees when they do it. I am more familiar with it, but these bees are still quite irritable, stronger than ordinary wild hornet bees. If there is no warm presence, it is fine for ordinary people to pass by the honey nest, but if they pick their honey and move their nest, They can chase you for miles, and it’s not a joke to be stung by them, and it will hurt for several days.

  Wen Shigui said: “I can’t go tomorrow, I’m going to the old man’s house, the old man’s birthday is coming soon, I have to make preparations here.”

“Why are you going to prepare?” Wen Shiqing was a little puzzled when he heard that, Wen Shigui’s father-in-law is over ninety years old, and his birthday should be lively, but the old man has sons, and there are more than one sons, so it’s Wen Shigui’s turn This son-in-law is in his early years?

  Wen Shida smiled and said to the point: “Second sister-in-law’s status in the family has risen.”

Wen Shigui shook his head after hearing this and said with a wry smile: “What doesn’t go up, that is, when you spend money, you think of us, and when you usually collect money, who thinks of us? Anyway, I think the old man may leave at any time.” , just spend the money!”

   “That’s right, I feel comfortable after spending money!” Wen Shida nodded and said.

Since the pockets of people in Wenjia village have bulged, not to mention that it is easy for the children in the village to find a wife, even those who find a wife have become hardened when talking to their old father-in-law. Why else do they say that money is a man’s waist? If you have money, you have to be a bit tougher when speaking in front of your brother-in-law. Although Wen Shigui was good at first, it is better now, because with money, now when the brothers have no ideas, they wait This brother-in-law used to make up his mind, of course, the most important thing was to take money, hoping that this grandpa’s brother-in-law would give a little more money on the old man’s birthday.

   “I said, why did everyone miss the topic again?” Wen Xu smiled and said to the elder brothers.

   “Yes, let’s not talk about this.” Wen Shigui smiled.

For Wen Shigui, he doesn’t like this kind of thing. A few uncles treat themselves as a cash machine, and when they have nothing to do, they take a picture to let themselves spit out some money, but he is a good-looking person. This time the old man He really had to pay this money for his birthday, just like what Wen Shida said, the old man might leave someday, why not let the old man have a happy birthday? So I told myself that money is a bastard, and I will make money after spending it all.

  When everyone turned their eyes back to the yard, the jujubes that had fallen under the whole tree formed a cone shape from the edge to the root of the tree.

“Hey, there are a lot of jujubes this year. You haven’t seen how so many have fallen on the ground.” Wen Shigui looked at the jujubes all over the ground, then looked up at the jujube trees and still saw countless jujubes hanging on the ground. Full of branches, said quickly.

At this time, there were not many children picking up dates on the ground. Some cleverly took the dates back home, and some sat on the ground and ate them directly. Those who hit dates with poles also stood aside. Now it was time for a few monkeys to perform, and they kept squeaking, and then dates rolled down from the branches.
