None of the boys had any objections, "Okay, I'll just rest at home and leave the fruit picking to us."

Xu Jiaojiao carried the three small fruits she picked and turned back to the bamboo forest.

Erlang and Erya had already chopped a lot of bamboo tubes. They were the same length as children's arms and the thickness of their wrists. They were quiet inside and could hold liquid items, exactly as Xu Jiaojiao imagined.

Xu Jiaojiao was very satisfied.

"Auntie, is that enough? We have cut dozens of bamboo tubes."

Bamboo is strong. It would have been very difficult and labor-intensive to make it like this unless I had brought professional cutting tools and saws before setting off.

Xu Jiaojiao replied, "It shouldn't be enough. The more the better. If you cut too much and you can't use it this year, you can use it next year."

Erlang and Erya were confused. Why should they use it next year if they can't use it this year?

Erya's curiosity killed the cat, "Auntie, what are these bamboo tubes used for? My second brother said that just for steaming bamboo tube rice, this much is enough."

Xu Jiaojiao remained mysterious, "Hey, you will find out tonight."

"Auntie, you're lying!"

He asked Erlang to continue chopping bamboo tubes and told him about the meal before going home. Today the whole family went to the mountains to pick fruits and work, which was all manual work. Xu Jiaojiao nudged Xu Zhang and agreed to a dinner.

Just take the half of the meal you saved by eating dumplings at noon and make a dinner.

Xu Jiaojiao asked Erya to help carry dozens of bamboo tubes, and the aunt and nephew went home together.

***

"You're a stupid idiot who only knows how to eat all day long. If you try to eat a piece of fruit secretly, I'll pull out all your **intestines. Are you reincarnated as a starving ghost? This is all your sister will sell for money tomorrow.

Yes, you eat as much as you want! Our old Xu family has been suffering from bad luck for eight lifetimes. After marrying a lazy foodie like you, I came back and went to the field to pull weeds for my mother. Xiaoliuzi and I came to see it in person..."

Xu Jiaojiao's aunt and nephew had not yet entered the house, but from a distance they heard Mrs. Xu Zhang angrily scolding Mr. Luo.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Shi was scolded and sent out in disgrace.

While going out, I was chewing loquat pulp in my mouth.

Seeing Xu Jiaojiao and the others coming back, she spit out a fruit core and said loudly, "Mother-in-law, my sister and Sanya have come home. My sister has brought a big basket of fruits home. Come on, come on.

Come, the fruit basket is heavy, my fourth sister-in-law will help you carry it home..."

Unbelievably enthusiastic.

Luo Shi was scolded by Xu Zhang and went out, but she followed Xu Jiaojiao back to the yard.

Just act like a normal person.

And as if taking credit, he placed the fruit basket side by side with the basket of fruits that Sanya had brought back.

"Mom, look, we have a great harvest today! We picked so much in less than half a day. I am very capable! My sister, you are hot. I will give you some cold water to drink. You

You've worked hard picking fruits. Take a rest and my sister-in-law will take care of you."

This flattery successfully defused Xu Zhang's anger, which was about to curse.

Pulling weeds in the fields and so on, let’s leave it alone for the time being.

Mrs. Xu Zhang came up to greet her, with only her precious daughter in her eyes, "Jiaojiao, how was your fruit picking today? Did it go well? I heard Sanya say that we went to several in the village, right?"

Xu Jiaojiao hummed, "It's okay. I can pick all the fruits. I'll freshen them up. Mom, help me find some clean pots."

Fat people are just bad. Whenever they move, they are covered in stinky sweat.

In the past two days, I went to the mountains every day, rushed to the morning market, and ate a little more moderately. I felt that I must have lost two or three pounds... I must have.

But with a body shape of at least 180 pounds, it won't be a big deal if I lose a few pounds.

It’s a long-term struggle!

Mrs. Xu Zhang followed the old girl's instructions and asked her family to find a clean wooden basin.

Feeling a little unhappy, he muttered, "Why are those people like this? Do they all have dog noses? Our old girl has only been selling fruit for one day, and she already knows everything! Erya, tell me, how many of them are there?

Have you gone home?"

If I get a chance another day, I won't scold them to death.

Erya didn't go to the fruit grove, but Sanya did, so let Sanya talk.

Sanya was a talkative person. Under Xu Zhang's urging, she became nervous and counted for a long time, but she couldn't count the number of households clearly.

Xu Zhang was so angry that she opened her mouth and cursed, "Your mouth has been sawed by a saw, and your brain is no longer working? You can't even beat me with three sticks. Is it short for you to eat, or short for you to drink?"

How could I raise you to be so stupid? You are worse than the fools in the village. People are stupid because their parents are stupid. Your parents are so easy to live with. How could you give birth to such a stupid guy like you... You are neither stupid nor stupid.

You straighten your tongue and speak for me!"

Erya stood aside and didn't dare to say anything to help.

Luo Shi was watching the play with great interest.

Mrs. Yuan was picking manure in the backyard to fill the vegetable garden. When she heard Mrs. Xu Zhang scolding Sanya in front of her, she didn't dare to speak out.

Xiao Liuzi sniffed, looking at this, looking at that...

Xu Jiaojiao came out to relieve the situation, "Okay, mother, why are you so angry every day about such a trivial matter? I'm not afraid of being angry and damaging my body. Even if the whole village picks this fruit, it won't affect us."

Mrs. Xu Zhang didn't believe it, "How come it won't affect you? There will be a large number of wild fruits at the market tomorrow morning. Can you still sell them for five cents per catty? I think it's hard to get even one cent per catty. Those jealous people are so jealous."

Hell, maybe it will be sold at a low price, and no one will even want it... Forget it, no one wants it, no one wants it, and our family doesn't rely on fruits to support us, nor does it rely on old girls to support us."

Afraid of putting pressure on the old girl, I endured my anger and got out of the situation first.

I'm still heartbroken. It took a lot of effort for the old girl to come up with such a new idea. She can obviously make a little money, not to mention earning a dowry, but earning some money for embroidery needles is also a skill, isn't it?

It's a pity that it disappeared like this.

Luo Shi wanted to say that it would be okay if no one wanted it. If there were many people in the family, they could all eat it and it would not be wasted, but how could she dare to say that?

Just look at the fruit and drool.

Erya and Sanya are also worried about Mrs. Xu, especially Erya. Today, she and Xu Jiaojiao went to the morning market to sell fruits. The fruits are not very easy to sell, and many people cannot afford them. Customers

Quantity is limited.

Putting out so many fruits tomorrow will only drive down the price to a very low level.

Xu Jiaojiao saw that everyone in the family was worried about the sales of the fruit, and she burst out laughing, not wanting to be too pretentious.

"Mom, I told you, don't worry, I really have a solution. Do you know how I know this fruit?"

Mrs. Xu Zhang blinked, she didn't know, she thought it was the name the old girl picked casually.
