Chapter 115

On the way home, the eldest brother was like a long-term worker in a landlord's house, carrying a basket full of persimmons, panting heavily.

Wei Ping followed behind him obediently, holding a few bright red persimmons.Looking at the back of the senior brother, she felt a sense of happiness spontaneously.

Pan+Jinlian jumped back and forth, intentionally urging Wang Changgong to go fast, and from time to time, lightly whipped him twice with a thorn stick picked from the roadside, laughing loudly.

Wang Chuan touched the sweat on his face: This is using me as a donkey envoy!
It was past twelve o'clock when the three of them returned home.Wang Chuan's parents came back a long time ago, having prepared lunch and waiting for the three of them.

When Pan+Jinlian and Wei Ping saw this, they felt embarrassed, and hurriedly helped to carry the bowls and chopsticks, serve the rice and serve the dishes as soon as they entered the door.And keep thanking the old couple!
"You guys take a nap at noon and rest at home. I'm going to help harvest peanuts in the field in the afternoon. I guess I'll be back later." After eating, Wang Chuan said to the second woman who was resting in the shade.

"Let's go with you, and we'll help out too!" Wei Ping cheered up and said with a glance at Second Senior Brother Pan lying on her shoulder.

"Yes, let's go together." Pan + Jinlian said with a tired face.She seems to be interested in everything.

"Okay! I ran all morning, now it's lunch break, you go to the house to sleep first. I'll call you when you leave."

Wang Chuan didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the two of them, so he smiled slightly and said, "It's just the two of you, you've been running all morning and you're as tired as dogs. If you don't pee on the kang, I'll burn incense and go to the field to collect peanuts!"hehe!

When Wei Ping opened her eyes, Second Senior Brother Pan was holding her arm, with the corner of her mouth dripping and snoring softly.

Mei Mei Wei glanced at Pan+Jinlian: This guy could be using my arm as a pig's trotter!

After gently pulling out her arms, Wei Ping got up, put on her clothes, and walked out of the room lightly.Except for a few rooster crows from time to time, the yard is very quiet.

She looked up at the sky, the sun had already set to the west, and looked at her watch, it was already 45:[-].

Damn!I've been asleep for so long?Wei Ping looked at her watch in surprise.

At this moment, the closed wooden door creaked open, and a trolley was pushed in, with several big sacks on it, bulging.

"Wei Ping, are you awake?" Wang Chuan pushed the trolley into the yard, straightened up and wiped his sweat, and said with a smile.

"Eldest brother, didn't you say you wanted us to go to the field to collect peanuts together? Why didn't you call us!" Wei Ping came to the front, and while complaining, she stretched out her hand to pick a few weeds hanging from the elder brother's clothes. Down, eyes full of resentment.

"I yelled a few times outside the door, and you guys slept like... well, you didn't respond. I had to go alone!" Wang Chuan said with an aggrieved smile.

Seeing that Pan Yuanyuan was not there, he casually asked, "Where is Second Senior Brother?"

"Second senior brother is dreaming about eating pig's trotters!" Wei Ping giggled after finishing speaking.

Wang Chuan unloaded the big bag from the trolley, got some water from the pressurized well, and washed his face: "It's so cool!"

"Eldest brother is back, what are these?" Pan+Jinlian's exclamation came from the door of the room.While rubbing her eyes, she ran towards the big sack, her hair slightly disheveled.

"Peanut!" Wang Chuan continued, "Take a rest, I'll go to the field again, I guess I'll be done after two more."

"Let's go together! We also want to go and see." Wei Ping said with bright eyes.

"Yes, let's go together! Let's go together!" Brother Pan quickly tied his hair back and put on a baseball cap.

When the second daughter came to the field, she was dumbfounded. There were patches of farmland full of people busy harvesting peanuts.

Wang Chuan's mother was sitting next to a pile of peanut seedlings, picking peanuts that had just been picked from the ground.His father is bending over to bundle peanut seedlings, and a tractor is plowing peanuts in the distance.

Since the plots in the village vary in size and height, it is impossible to use large purchase machines for harvesting, so we can only hire tractors in the village to plow peanuts.

"Girl, why are you here?" Seeing the second daughter walking behind her son, Wang Chuan's mother hurriedly stopped, and said in surprise, "Go back home and rest, why don't you let Chuan'er take you to the river to play?" There's no fun in the field."

"It's okay, Auntie! We haven't seen peanut harvesting before, so we just came to take a look." Wei Ping knelt down and followed Wang Chuan's mother to pick peanuts.

Pan+Jinlian also came over to help out in a dignified manner.

With the addition of two sticks, the work speed has improved slightly. Just as it was getting dark, Wang Chuan's father came over with a bundle of peanut seedlings: "After picking these, let's go back, and pull the rest Go back and pick them, it's getting dark!"

Wang Chuan borrowed a flatbed tricycle from somewhere, and loaded the unfinished peanut seedlings into the cart.

"Okay, just one more pull and it's over." Wang Chuan said, boarded the tricycle and pulled the hilly peanut seedlings towards home.

Not long after Wang Chuan left, his father loaded the picked peanuts into a trolley and pushed them towards home.

The second daughter followed Wang Chuan's mother up and down, picking up the remaining peanut seedlings and picking up the lost peanuts.

"In the production team back then, we picked up peanuts in the field where they had finished harvesting with baskets. We could always pick up a lot of peanuts in a day, and sent them to the team to be weighed by the catty for work points!
Think about your life now, contented! "Wang Chuan's mother picked up the peanuts on the ground, put them in a woven bag, and beat her back.

"Did Wang Chuan also pick up peanuts back then?" Wei Ping asked.

"Well, when he was in primary school, the school required the students to work-study, pick up peanuts to offset the tuition fee, our family Chuan'er can pick up a lot every time, except for the school, the rest is taken home to eat.

Don't mention it!It's all about old sesame seeds and rotten millet.Go back at night and cook some fresh peanuts for you guys. "Wang Chuan's mother smiled and looked at Wei Ping and said.

After the last truck was loaded, Wei Ping and Pan + Jinlian followed Wang Chuan's mother back home, and it was already dark.When they entered, Wang Chuan was climbing a ladder to the room to dry peanuts.

Most of the houses in the village have flat roofs, just right for drying crops such as peanuts, sesame seeds, and corn, and the house of the Wang family is no exception.

As soon as Wang Chuan and his father came back, they were busy transporting the returned peanuts to the room and spreading them out to dry.

His mother was busy making a fire and cooking. At this time, there were many people cooking with firewood in the countryside, and the environmental protection department could not control the village for a while.

More than ten years later, according to the higher-level environmental protection requirements, the villagers were prohibited from burning firewood, and instead used induction cookers or gas tanks for cooking.But the old people in the village always feel that the rice made with electricity or gas is not the original taste, so... the result can be imagined, the sound of the waves is still the same!
The second daughter saw that cooking with a fire was interesting, so she volunteered to light the fire for Wang Chuan's mother.

"There's enough firewood in the stove, just don't put it out as long as you watch, and be careful not to burn it!..." Wang Chuan's mother went to the house to roll out noodles after giving some instructions.
