Chapter 18 Harvesting Corn

Now this weather, say hot or not, say cold or not.

But things are also easier to break.

Chu Jiaojiao still didn't dare to make too many jelly noodles, she only made more than [-] copies, and it looked like it would cost one yuan at most if they were sold out.

But she is getting closer and closer to her goal.

"I'll go with you." Lin Chen took the initiative to pick up the burden.

Chu Jiaojiao saw that Lin Chen's legs and feet were still inconvenient, and immediately stopped him: "Don't move, it will hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, you need to take good care of your legs, otherwise it won't get better."

She pressed Lin Chen's shoulder, forcibly snatched the burden from his hand, and carried it on her body.

Lin Chen's ears turned red, and his expression was complicated.

"This kind of heavy work is not something you can do." Chu Jiaojiao said to him, "You are moving around now, when we go to the doctor to see it later, it will be more serious, and it will cost more money."

Lin Chen was a little frustrated, with no expression on his face, but awkward in his heart.

He is a big man, yet he is treated like a delicate flower in Chu Jiaojiao's place. He must feel uncomfortable and very awkward.

But Chu Jiaojiao was right, if he wanted to help, he had no choice but to take care of his legs.

But it is obviously impossible for Lin Chen to stay at home so honestly, even if he is helping to sell.

He followed Chu Jiaojiao and accompanied her all the way to the gate of the elementary school.

At that time, there were not many snacks at the gate of the school, only occasionally selling candied haws and popsicles in the streets, and now that the weather has turned cold, there are not many people buying popsicles.

Chu Jiaojiao set up a stall at the school gate, and not long after, someone came.

"Girl of the Chu family." It's the mother of the little girl next door. The little girl is in the third grade this year, and every time she takes the exam, she is so angry that the little girl's mother chases and beats the little girl every day with a broom.

"Oh, auntie, would you like a bowl of jelly?" Chu Jiaojiao asked.

The little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded: "Have a bowl."

She watched Chu Jiaojiao mix the jelly, took a sip, and said regretfully, "It would be better if it was a little bit spicy. It's delicious."

This sentence reminded Chu Jiaojiao.

Yes, why doesn't she make more flavors.

"Auntie likes spicy food?" Chu Jiaojiao asked with a smile.

Lin Chen stood aside with his head sullen, and from time to time used the towel in his hand to drive away the flies that surrounded him.

"That's right, in this weather, eat something sour and spicy to appetize!" The little girl gave the money to Chu Jiaojiao, and said happily, "Give me five more bowls, and I'll take them to the fields to eat. "

Chu Jiaojiao paused in her heart, she moved her hands neatly, but she asked, "Are you starting to harvest corn now?"

"Yeah, the weather is so hot, our family digs into the field, and the corn can't be finished and can't come out." The little girl fanned the wind with her straw hat, "Eat a bowl of this, it's comfortable!"

This time I went out for thirty cents.

The little girl is very generous.

After all, their family has a lot of land and the harvest is good, and when the policy came down at the beginning of the year, her eldest son went to the sea early, and after half a year, he also sent hundreds of dollars back.

These days, there are very few people who can see hundreds of dollars.

"Are there many people harvesting corn now?" Chu Jiaojiao continued to ask.

She came here all morning, and not many people came to buy jelly.

What's more, no matter how many people there are at the gate of the school, it is better to carry the burden and go to the fields for a walk, but there will be more opportunities to sell.

"There are a few that are not very familiar. My corn is planted early." Xiaoya's mother took away five bowls of jelly in a basin.

Chu Jiaojiao rubbed her chin thinking about something.

The Chu family has a total of six acres and four quarters. Although Lin Chen is married now, his household registration has not yet been transferred. Besides, the land is not divided so quickly.

What's more, Lin Chen's family belongs to Beijing City, and he has no land at all.

One mu of land, if Lin Chen had it, their family would have eight mu of land, and the harvest this year would be quite a lot.

Chu Jiaojiao glanced at Lin Chen, forget it, as for his future hero, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for her and the three brothers of the Chu family.

There is no need to worry about this six-acre land.

As the morning passed, a few more people came here and asked for three or five bowls of jelly, and counting what the little girl bought, there wasn't much left.

At noon, the school was over, and the students came out of the school one after another.

But because today's children don't have much money, everyone looks at the jelly stand, drooling with greed, but they don't have the money to buy it.

There are a few children who have some money in their hands.

Xiaoya is one, and Fat Hu, who lives in the same village at the end of the village, is also one.

Fat Tiger's family is a butcher, and he used to eat a big pot of rice. Fat Tiger's father and uncle Fatty can only farm in peace and stability.

Now all the families are starting to think about new ways of making a living, and Fat Uncle has started to return to his old business. Although he didn't kill many pigs, he has a job and has more money than before.

Fat Tiger walked up to Chu Jiaojiao, picked things up and down, and finally pursed his lips: "What's so delicious about this thing? The chocolate my second brother brought back from Guangdong is delicious."

"Chocolate?" Xiao Ya had never heard of it before, "What is chocolate?"

Fat Tiger snorted coldly with his arms crossed, tilted his head and said, "Chocolate is just chocolate, sweet and a little bit bitter."

Chu Jiaojiao thought it was funny, the better chocolate was bitter, the sweetness was not so obvious.

The second brother, Fat Tiger, might not know what quality he brought to him.

"Do you want to buy it?" Chu Jiaojiao saw that he didn't buy it for a long time, causing other children who wanted to come up to take two steps back, a little unhappy, "If you don't buy it, don't delay my business."

"What kind of business are you doing?" Fat Tiger looked down on Chu Jiaojiao even more, "My second brother's store is the real one, it's in Guangdong, it's such a big stall, by the way, my second brother also has a TV, and There's a radio!"

"What is that?" The little girl had never heard of any of them.

Chu Jiaojiao knew all about it, but she knew that the TVs were all black and white these days, and one was only a few hundred, which was quite expensive.

Lin Chen's face was also a little loose. He glanced at Xiaoya and said to her: "It's not a good thing, do you want jelly?"

"Why is it not a good thing! The people inside can move and talk!" Fat Tiger had never seen it before, and he heard it from his second brother. "There is also a radio, which can listen to songs and cross talks!"

Xiaoya and the children around the jelly stand showed envious expressions.

"Really?"

"It feels amazing."

Lin Chen frowned slightly: "Are you going to buy it or not?"

"I won't buy it, it's sticky and not tasty at all." Fat Tiger snorted, turned his head and left.

Xiaoya squeezed the money in her hand, thinking about what Fat Hu said just now, she lost interest in jelly all of a sudden.
