Chapter 40

When the weather got warmer, all the children who had been restrained for a winter ran out. Many children like to jump into the mountains. Naturally, these children dare not go deep in the mountains. If they are just outside the mountains, many children dare to go.

Mushrooms, bamboo shoots and wild vegetables in the mountains are good things for many children.

Many people in the village are not very rich and have to live frugally. In this winter, many people can only eat half full every day. Now it's hard to have food. Many children go to the mountains to find it.

Chen Xiaocai and Chen Maimai are the same. After a winter, the two children have soared a lot. Maybe it's because they have grown up. They both look better.

Lu Lin loaded some fried beans for them, took out some bamboo baskets and said to Chen Xiaocai with a smile: "Xiaocai! You go to a few people to pick wild berries, a basket of mature wild berries, and give three Wen

Chen Xiaocai frowned and said, "Sanwen!" Is three Wen too much?

Lu Lin laughed and said, "not much."

Chen Xiaocai scratched his head and said awkwardly, "they don't play with me. I can't call anyone."

Lu Lin looked down at Chen Xiaocai and said, "look at you, you can't do this little thing well when you are so big. How can it be? If you can't call someone, you call Shen Chi up and ask Shen Chi to call some people for you."

Chen Xiaocai blushed and said, "I I see

Lu Lin gave Chen Xiaocai more than ten baskets.

Chen Xiaocai some suspicious way: "where come so many baskets!"

Each basket is not very big and looks very delicate. However, people in the village usually don't make such a small basket, which is not good for use.

"Five Wen for one. It's made up by the old people in the village." The labor force in this place is really cheap. In this respect, the folk customs in the village are very simple.

Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin strangely and said, "I'm leaving."

Chen Xiaocai thinks it's a waste of money for Lu Lin to find someone to make a basket. But now he's used to Lu Lin's extravagant behavior, so he doesn't say much.

Lu Lin waved to Chen Xiaocai and said, "go."

Chen Xiaocai first went to Shen's house to find Shen Chi. Shen's grandmother saw that she was very happy to play with her grandson and Chen Xiaocai. She agreed very readily.

……

Shen Chi followed Chen Xiaocai with a bamboo basket and asked curiously, "brother Lin, what do you want wild berries for?"

Chen Xiaocai shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's used to brew bars."

"Wine making!" Shen Chi's eyes flashed a bit of reverence, wine in the eyes of the villagers, is a very powerful thing.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, there are more and more fruits in the forest. There are many wild berries in the forest. Children in the village like to pick and eat them. They have a sweet and sour taste.

Zhang Dahu sat in the tree picking raspberries to eat, eating fingers and lips are red.

When Zhang Dahu saw Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi coming with more than ten baskets, he suddenly jumped down the tree and stopped them in front of them.

"What are you doing with so many baskets? This basket is too small Zhang Dahu asked carelessly.

Chen Xiaomi made a lot of money last year, which was spread all over the village. The children in the village knew that Chen Xiaomi had the ability and made a lot of money. This will see Chen Xiaocai and wheat wearing new clothes, can not help but some envy.

Chen Xiaocai held up his basket and said, "my brother asked me to pick wild berries. He gave me three Wen for one basket."

Zhang Dahu turned his eyes, looked at the basket in Shen Chi's hand and said, "Shen Chi, can you help him?"

Shen Chilian said hurriedly: "it's too late for me to pick the vegetables alone. Brother Xiaomi also gave me three Wen for a basket."

Zhang Dahu eyes a bright, looking at Chen Xiaocai way: "if I help your brother pick, a basket also give three Wen money?"

Chen Xiaocai was thinking about how to open his mouth. When he heard Zhang Dahu's active inquiry, he was happy, but he soon disguised his face, "OK! However, it's not good to make up for the good and familiar ones. "

Zhang Dahu nodded and said, "it's no problem."

Zhang Dahu is the king of children. Several children who were originally on the sidelines saw that Zhang Dahu and Chen Xiaocai had reached an agreement, and they all came together and asked about it.

Chen Xiaocai agreed. Several children asked Chen Xiaocai for a basket to pick wild berries.

A few wild raspberries are busy growing.

Wild raspberry is mainly divided into three kinds, one grows on the tree, two grow on the ground.

There are almost three kinds of wild raspberries on the top of the ripe tree, like the purple one

There are two kinds of wild berries growing on the ground. One is like strawberry, much smaller than strawberry, and the other is a bit like cherry.

Chen Xiaocai said all three wild berries should be packed separately.

Soon everyone picked a basket full of wild berries.

Zhang Dahu took two baskets by himself. He was quick and finished two baskets of wild berries. The slow kid didn't finish one basket."Chen Xiaocai, is that enough for a basket?" Zhang Dahu asked.

Chen Xiaocai nodded and gave a "um".

"Now send it back to my house and I can exchange money with my brother."

Several children were still a little bit suspicious of elder brother Chen Xiaocai. However, they couldn't resist the temptation of coppers. Thinking about their large number of people, they went to Lulin together.

Lu Lin didn't expect that Chen Xiaocai would finish the task so soon, and he looked at Chen Xiaocai with new eyes.

Chen Xiaocai looks at Lu Lin with admiration, blush and pride.

Lu Lin checked the wild berries picked by several children and several people, but there was no problem. Lu Lin gave each child three Wen.

Lu Lin took out three big bamboo baskets and collected the wild berries picked by several children separately.

A few children get money, all seem a little excited, three Wen money can buy two steamed buns, can make money, is also a thing worth showing off, the children here, usually have no pocket money.

Lu Lin collected all the wild berries and asked some children who wanted to make money to take the empty basket.

The children who have already got the money, seeing that it is so easy to earn copper, take empty baskets into the forest one after another when they see that it is still early.

A few children came and went, picking at least five or six baskets of wild berries a day. Some of them picked the wild berries quickly. At the end of the day, the wild berries near the foot of the mountain were only half cooked.

Lu Lin was afraid that some children would go to the mountains in order to make money, so he said that he would not accept them in a short time.

Hearing that Lu Lin said he would not accept it, some of the children who had just tasted the sweetness of making money were disappointed.

Zhang Dahu some not reconciled way: "small dish, next time there is such a money making thing, want to come to me!"

As soon as Zhang Dahu opened his mouth, several boys surrounded Chen Xiaocai.

"Yes! Xiaocai, come to us next time! "

Chen Xiaocai is seldom treated so warmly. For a moment, he is at a loss.

……

Zhang Dawen came home with money.

"Big brother, where did you get so much money?" Zhang Meizi asked.

Zhang Dahu some proud way: "your brother I earn, my hands and feet the fastest, pick the most."

Zhang Dahu is the quickest one among all the children who can climb trees. After the wild berries under the trees are almost picked, everyone turns their eyes to the trees, but they can't compare with him.

Zhang Meizi blinked and said, "big brother is really powerful, but how do you earn it?"

Zhang Dahu said: "just pick wild berries and give them to his brother. However, today is the only day. It's a pity that he won't accept them in the near future." The wild raspberries in the outer mountain have been picked for a round today, and there are not many. When they grow out, they will go to the deep mountains. It's not easy to go to the deep mountains!

"Lu Lin? Why does he want so many wild berries? "

Zhang Dahu shrugged his shoulders and said, "who knows, but Chen Xiaomi made tens of Liang years ago. Maybe it's too much money."

In this era, there are not many recreational activities in winter. Chen Xiaomi has made tens of taels by selling gloves. It's a big thing in the village. It's always mentioned intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Dahu and Zhang Meizi are chatting. Father Zhang comes in.

"It's really making money!" **He patted a tiger on the shoulder and said with admiration, "OK! "Son of a bitch."

Zhang Dahu grinned and said, "I earn the most."

**Sheng nodded and said, "it's a lot." **Then he put away all the copper.

Zhang Dahu frowned and said, "Daddy, this is my money."

**Sheng glared at Zhang Dahu and said, "Daddy, I'll take your money! Next time I go to the market, I'll buy you steamed buns. "

Zhang Dahu asked excitedly, "Dad, when are you going to the market?"

"What's the rush? I'll be there in two days. " **He said perfunctorily.

Zhang Dahu looks at * * Sheng with a wrinkled nose. His eyes are full of resentment. * * Sheng is looked at by his son.

Zhang Meizi saw that the money had been taken away. She blinked and said, "brother, it's gone."

Zhang Dahu laughed and said, "there are still three money left. Brother will buy you eggs to eat."

Zhang Meizi didn't expect that Zhang Dahu had hidden a few coppers in advance. Seeing the coppers, she couldn't help but feel excited.

The same thing happened all over the village.

When the adults in the village go to work in the city, sometimes they can only earn more than ten Wen a day, and there is a great chance that they can run empty. A few children actually earn more than ten Wen a day, which shocked many villagers. When the villagers were shocked, they could not tell if they wanted their children to stay away from the two little brothers of the Chen family.

Lu Lin held his chin and looked at the bamboo basket in front of him.

Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin and said, "what's the matter? What's wrong with the basket? "

"One is missing." Lulin road.

Chen Xiaomi some unexpected way: "less one?" Lu Lin is looking for someone to make a small bamboo basket. It's not a big deal for five Wen. However, it's strange that one is missing for no reason."Ask for a side dish." Chen Xiaomi said.

Lu Lin shook his head and said: "it's rare for a child to have some self-confidence. Let him know that the basket is missing. I have to think more about it. Maybe who looks at the delicate basket and forgets to return it. Forget it." But it's not good to make a big noise with one basket. It's rare for kids to play together. It's not worth fighting for a basket.
