- ?
I ate the crabs I moved with my cousin for a whole week!
In the end, I felt sick when I saw crabs, and felt uncomfortable when I heard crabs!
Not only me, but even grandparents were frightened by piles of crabs.
I think, no matter who it is, if you eat crabs for a week, you will be sad!
Today's weather is good, it is a good day to go out and have fun.
In other words, the weather seems to be better this summer! Every day is scorching sun, not even a raindrop can be seen!
"Ganzi! Meijiawan ganzi!"
"Ganzi~"
From a long distance away, I heard orange sellers hawking in the yard below.
Rural areas are better. Although it is far away from the street, it is inconvenient to buy things, but many vendors who go to the countryside and walk from house to house will pass by the main road at the door.
As long as you listen carefully and pay attention, you will find that there are quite a few hawkers passing by every day!
What kind of melon seeds, peanuts, soybeans, dried goods, apples, oranges, fruits, vegetables, butchers, in short, all kinds of things you want to eat will pass through the door.
But not every day, some special businesses may only pass by once a week or even longer.
For example, honey, rice cracker candies and the like.
This kind of seasonal thing is even rarer, and you can only meet it a few times a year.
I stood by the ditch, waiting for the man selling oranges below to come up.
In fact, I won't buy it either, I'm just curious.
As long as there are various vendors passing by, no matter whether he stops or not, I will go out and wait for a while. This is the minimum respect for others!
Of course, being greedy is another matter!
After all, this level of business requires the help of grandparents to get it right!
I can't buy anything with an extra two yuan.
"Ganzi~Meijiawan Ganzi~!"
The human-powered tricycle was getting closer and closer. With the sound, it slowly passed through the forest below and was about to approach the edge of our forest.
At this moment, my brain can't help but feel a little down.
I don't know the tricycle that just came out of the woods, but the person riding it feels somewhat familiar to me!
Why does this look so much like my old cousin!
My place is not far from the forest below, about 500 meters away, and the outline looks really similar to the old watch.
Forget it, I'm not bothered anymore!
Don't wait for him to come slowly, I will take the initiative to lean over!
When I got to the end of the forest, he was almost there. If I found out that it was not the old cousin, I would go through another road at the end of the forest to the back door of my house, wouldn't that be fine?
Don't you have to be persuaded to buy tangerines all the time? Not embarrassing!
After making up his mind, he walked forward quickly.
The further I walked, the closer I got to the car selling grapefruit, and my inner suspicion gradually dissipated!
"It really is the old cousin!" Unexpectedly, the old watch came out to sell grapefruits?
By the way, the old cousin is only two years older than me, we are only 12 years old this year, he is 14 at most, right?
This is the start of business? I have to admire him!
"Old Cousin!" From a long distance, I shouted loudly, and approached Lao Cou while shouting.
"Old Cousin! You are playing outside!" In the car, my Cousin saw me coming, and greeted me happily.
"That's right! I'm going out for a stroll. Are you selling oranges?" I wondered.
(We call pomelo a mandarin, also called a citrus)
"I can't help it. My dad and the others didn't make any money this year, and they still owe a lot of money. I haven't earned enough for my tuition. So my dad went to pull some oranges two days ago and asked me to pull them out during the day to sell them. Money, to subsidize living. See if I can make up enough for tuition." The old cousin explained.
Hey, it looks like they are all hard-working children!
There are few ways for rural people to earn money, and there is really no source of income during this period of time, so everyone scratches their heads and wants to make money.
The aunt and the eldest son-in-law definitely hope that the old cousin will continue to study and read more, so that he will have more opportunities. However, their own abilities are limited, so they plan to make a living and let the old cousin use his spare time to earn some pocket money.
To be honest, as long as I can remember, the elder uncle's family has had a hard time.
Yes, you read that right, it is hard work.
Eldest son-in-law and auntie are quite able to endure hardships. They are among the people of their generation I have seen.?? Can bear hardships!
The family of three's fields, plus the rented ones, have a total of ten acres of land!
When the farming season is busy, there are only 2 people!
Like the usual harvest of wheat and millet, the two of them, each with a sickle, slowly mowed the ten acres of land!
This is an exaggeration!
In fact, my family is relatively poor in the local area. Sometimes the tuition fee is not enough for school, so my parents will borrow some from relatives, friends, or neighbors for emergency.
And the old cousin's family spent almost every semester in this situation.
As for other debts, these are not at the level that a child like me can touch.
"Then where are you going to sell it?" I continued to ask.
"Just ride up this main road until you get to Huanhe. If it's not sold out, you'll go back. If it's sold out, you'll go home early." The old cousin explained, looking forward to it.
"Then is this tangerine delicious?" First of all, I have to consult for consumers, right? The taste of this grapefruit is related to today's sales volume!
"The taste is okay, it's a little sour, but it's not numb, it's juicy, and it's delicious." Well, my mouth is watering after hearing what the old cousin said!
It's not the kind of drooling that is attracted by delicious food, but the natural drooling when listening to sour words!
If it were me, I would definitely not buy this kind of sour grapefruit to eat!
"Let's go, old cousin, come with me, help me sell grapefruits, and go back early when they are sold. If you encounter difficult places on the road, you can help me push the car." The old cousin wanted to take me with him.
I guess he is short of someone to talk to. Such a small person, riding a tricycle alone, shuttles around ten miles and eight towns, and almost sees people he doesn¡¯t know. This kind of loneliness is probably unbearable for most people!
When I think of my old cousin who is so young, he still has to run around for a living! And I couldn't help much, and I happened to have nothing to do today, so I agreed to him directly.
"Do you need my help?" I asked after getting in the car.
The tricycle has two sides, both of which are relatively wide and can accommodate people, and I sit on one of them.
"No, you can just sit down. When I get tired from riding, you can help me ride."
"Do you need me to call this for you? I can't call it."
Let me explain, let me put the ugly words first, I really don't know how to peddle, so as not to ask me to yell for him later, it will embarrass everyone.
"No, I'll just call for that, and you can just sit in peace."
"Then I won't yell for you, lest you say that I don't help you with anything." I explained to make the old cousin feel at ease. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
