Qiao Ran looked at the sky and said to a few people:

"It's getting late, everyone, hurry up and pick fruits! My second uncle is still waiting for me to go back in the grain store!"

Only then did a few people calm down from their excitement and simply divided the work.

Qiao Ran and A Qing went to pick honeydew melons, while A Mu took his two younger brothers up the tree to pick lychees.

Several of them are used to farm work and have nimble hands and feet.

In less than a cup of tea, two baskets full of lychees and dozens of the ripest honeydew melons were piled on the ground.

Amu was worried. They only carried two bamboo baskets when they went up the mountain. They thought they would cut some pig grass and feed the pigs if they had time, but they didn't expect that the little girl would buy so many lychees and honeydew melons.

The lychees have already filled two bamboo baskets. How should we carry these forty or fifty melons down the mountain?

"Miss Qiao, how about Ah Qing and I carry the lychees home first, and you go down with us, and then Ah Qing and I come back to carry the melons on our backs, and then borrow a large scale to weigh the lychees. How many kilograms does it weigh with honeydew melon?”

Amu suggested carefully, worried that Qiao Ran would think they were too slow and couldn't wait, so he wouldn't want the fruits they picked, so so much fruit would be wasted.

Qiao Ran looked at the already dark sky and shook her head: "Don't bother, I have a bag here, use the bag."

As if by magic, she suddenly took out two strong linen bags from nowhere. It looked like they were used to hold grains. They were strong and durable.

The four brothers and sisters looked curiously at Qiao Ran, but they didn't see how she had brought two such big bags up the mountain just now. Why didn't they see it?

Qiao Ran didn't allow them to ask questions and urged: "Come on, pack up these melons quickly. I can carry them down the mountain alone, so I don't have to make another trip. I don't have time to wait. My second uncle must be anxious." The ground is waiting for me!"

Although she had told her second uncle that she wanted to buy a lot of things and asked him to wait for her in the grain store for two-quarters of an hour, it was getting dark and she didn't want to make him anxious.

Several people listened to her urging and didn't care to explore anymore. They quickly opened the bag mouth and put the honeydew melons piled on the ground into two bags.

After tying the mouth of the bag, Amu put a bamboo basket on his back and wanted to carry a bag full of honeydew melons on his shoulders.

But he squatted down and tried, but couldn't put the bag on his shoulders.

"Ah Qing, Ah Shan, come here and help me. Put this bag on my shoulder."

Amu could only ask his sister and brother to come over and help.

The two agreed and were about to come over to help, but Amu felt that his hands were empty and the linen bag in front of him suddenly disappeared.

He looked up and saw Miss Qiao carrying a bag on each shoulder.

The two heavy bags, each containing more than 20 honeydew melons, made the girl even more petite.

"You, you, how did you...?"

Amu wiped his eyes, thinking it was because the sky was dark and he was dazzled.

But when he opened his eyes and looked carefully, he saw that he was not wrong. The little girl Qiao actually carried two bags weighing more than 200 kilograms alone.

How did this girl do something that she might not even be able to do?

Ah Qing and Ah Shan Ah Shui also opened their eyes wide, looking in disbelief at Qiao Ran, who was out of breath and bent over carrying two bags.

Qiao Ran couldn't help but laugh when she saw the brothers and sisters looking so shocked that their jaws were about to drop.

She explained: "I am born with strong strength, maybe because I was stupid. Okay, it's getting dark, let's go down the mountain quickly!"

Before a few people could recover, they were already following her in a daze.

Amu carried a bamboo basket on his back, Ah Qing carried another smaller basket, and Ah San and Ah Shui were behind to help their sister carry it.

Several people followed Qiao Ran, who was walking swiftly in front, and walked down the mountain together.

Amu looked at the petite back in front of him with complicated eyes, not knowing what he was feeling.

This girl was different from the other girls in their town. She was generous and not shy at all, and she didn't mind at all that others knew she was stronger than a man.

Such a cheerful and capable girl is really a good person to live with!

Amu suddenly shook his head, startled by his sudden thought.

Sin! Sin!

That's still a little girl who hasn't even had haircuts yet! He is only the same age as his sister, how could he have such thoughts?

Qiao Ran had no idea what Amu was thinking. She just wanted to go down the mountain quickly and meet her second uncle as soon as possible.

Several people went down the mountain before it was completely dark and returned to Amu's house.

Dinner had been prepared and Amuniang, who was standing at the door eagerly looking up, saw a few people coming back and was about to greet them happily.

Suddenly she saw several people coming back carrying two bamboo baskets and two sacks. Amuniang was so shocked that she blinked repeatedly, feeling that she could not bear it any longer and was about to faint.

Aren't these little guys just taking guests up the mountain for a walk and then coming back?

After picking so many fruits, do you want to give them to others to eat?

Looking at her eldest son who was walking behind with her eyes fixed on Miss Qiao, Amu Niang almost wanted to pick up a broom and beat him on the head and face until he woke up.

Could it be that this boy had fallen in love for the first time and fell in love with the escaped girl Qiao, so he generously gave away the lychees and honeydew melons that he had worked so hard to grow?

If you want to give some as a gift, she won't mind.

However, it seems to weigh several hundred kilograms. If you give it away for free, wouldn't your family's harvest this year be reduced by half?

This wasteful thing!

Amu's father, who was sitting at the dining table, eating peanuts, drinking wine, and waiting for his children to come back to eat together, heard a noise at the door and turned his head.

"Crack!"

He held a piece of fried peanut in his hand and when he was about to bring it to his mouth, the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Amutai's eyes widened as he stared at the few people who came into the house and put down the bamboo baskets and sacks. He suddenly felt that the heart disease he hadn't had in half a year had relapsed.

He opened his mouth and gasped for air, feeling like he could hardly breathe.

This prodigal!

Let him take the guests for a tour, why don't they give away so many things to make them happy?

This girl is fleeing and has to leave tomorrow. Does this stupid boy think that giving people these fruits will make them willing to stay and marry him?

What a stupid son!

Ouch, this makes him so angry!

"Daddy, grandma, Miss Qiao said she... daddy! What's wrong with you?"

Amu, who was about to happily report to his parents that he had sold three hundred kilograms of fruit today and earned 16 taels of snowflake silver, saw his father covering his heart and about to fall back.

He rushed forward in a few anxious steps and helped his father who almost fell to the ground.
