Chapter 17 [017] Harvesting Peanuts

After going to the latrine, Zhuo Lin secretly hid in the backyard while her brothers were playing outside, and ripened the peanut plant.

The peanuts were in the corner, covered with a broken basket, and my brothers didn't notice them for a while. They were urged to bloom yesterday, but they were ripened in half an hour today.

She pulled out the peanut seedlings, and found that ten or twenty baby peanuts had fallen densely underneath, and the grains were full.

Zhuo Lin saw that her eyes were wet, and she tried to put the peanuts in the pocket of her overalls, and then stood up, but she felt that her eyes were going black, and in a hurry, she quickly supported the wall, That's why I couldn't lie down on the ground. I stood there to relax for a while, and then I felt gradually recovered.

Peanut seedlings cannot be thrown away, they are fresh and green, and they are rare to look at, but in the past, they were used to feed cows and sheep.

Today, I'm afraid it will be eaten as food for themselves.

There are creek shells spitting sand in the pots in the yard. My mother said in the morning that I would eat this at noon.

In the morning, the old lady in the same village was buried. When my mother came home, she was in a trance, and her brother told her to be absent-minded.

Zhuo Lin took out the peanut seedlings and peanuts as if asking for credit: "Mom, what do you think I picked up?"

Zhuo Yuan stared at his sister in astonishment: "Luosheng? Where did you get it?"

"It's pressed under the wood next to the waterway, and this,"

The peanut seedling waved, and the peanuts were pulled out one by one, and the brothers who watched were stunned.

Even Wang's expression was affected, because peanuts are so precious. In this day and age, even if you eat one peanut a day, you will not die of hunger.

What's more, there are still a lot of peanuts, and each one is full. It exudes the fragrance of soil. When the shell is peeled off, the pink skin inside is wrapped in full. Full peanuts, the children swallowed subconsciously, Aunt immediately took over.

"Then let's use these brook shells to stew peanuts for lunch, shall we?"

The children shouted happily: "Great, eat peanuts!"

A Niang turned pale, turned her head suddenly, and stretched out her finger.

"Shh, what are you doing so loudly? I'm afraid that people won't know what good food our family eats, right? But even if we want to eat peanuts, we have to eat the peanut shells and peanut seedlings together. No one is allowed to spit on me. Listen clearly gone?"

Zhuo Ran said indifferently: "Mother, we even ate the roots of the tree, what's the point of eating peanut shells, don't worry, don't waste it!"

It's not that Auntie is not called Auntie, it's because Auntie's family has bean cakes, and they are more abundant than theirs, so Auntie didn't say that. After all, they can't eat and drink all the time. If you tell Auntie, they will bring some more When the food came, they took advantage of it instead, so they simply called the brothers to clean it, while she went into the kitchen to light the fire.

There was something wrong with Wang's expression, and Zhuo Yuan could see this naturally, although he was only nine years old, but a nine-year-old boy can be called a half-child in the countryside, and he understands everything, "Mother, yes Is something wrong? You haven't been quite right since you came back."

Mrs. Wang was probably too suffocated, and looked at her eldest son with trembling lips, but she didn't see Zhuo Lin who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping.

"Isn't Zhu's grandma buried today?"

After saying this, he swallowed hard as if he remembered something terrible.

"The granddaughter-in-law of their family who just gave birth suddenly went crazy, crying and shouting, scolding your grandma Zhu's son and grandson all over, saying that they are not filial, her tone is exactly the same as that of your grandma Zhu when she was alive. We were terrified, and if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, no one would have believed it was real."

Zhuo Lin, who was avoiding eavesdropping, also opened her eyes in surprise when she heard this.

 Two updates will resume from March 3st, please forgive me, after the 1st, it will be updated normally, and if there are recommendations, it will follow the recommendations.
