Niu male

Harvesting persimmons in Niuwangzhuang is also a grand scene. Crowds of people go up the mountain with bamboo poles and baskets, hang the baskets on the top of the bamboo poles, cut the branches of the persimmons with the blades tied to the top, and let them fall into the baskets. inside.

This job looks interesting, but it's actually physical work, with good arm strength, and it's not easy to keep your neck up. But there are still groups of people who sign up to collect persimmons, and they are happy to stay with the persimmons. Nothing.

On several major mountain roads, there are special transporting teams active. Usually, they drive a few cows with bags of the same size on their backs. The persimmons brought back are counted as bags.

"Dragon Slayer Squad, four bags." It was a fat man with dark skin who spoke.

"Old Tu, I didn't say that, you guys are too confused, the bag is not full, after a while, Lao Zhou saw it, and thought it was our brothers who stole it halfway." The person in charge of transporting persimmons The captain of the team was a young man in his early thirties. He wore glasses and was gentle. His body looked rather strong. The neck area was tanned, and the skin under the neck exposed from the collar was white.

"Old Bai, I didn't say that, you are too serious. When we were bagging with the team in front, our team had too many persimmons, and we couldn't even pack them. In the end, we put them back in their pockets. I don't believe it. Ask Xiao Lizi." The fat man looked like an old fritter.

"How is it? Your team has new players again?" The captain named Lao Bai didn't take him seriously. After a while, they will transport the persimmons back. If the people in the courtyard want to deduct points, they will deduct the old Tu's team's score, the bags on the cow's back, which bags belonged to which teams, he could remember them all clearly.

"My colleague brought their two relatives over here." That old Tu laughed.

"Cousin?" Lao Bai also laughed.

"Hi, my niece, the two sisters are both college students." Old Tu said.

"Then you'd better pick the persimmons quickly, don't let everyone hold you back, if you eat plain boiled noodles tomorrow, no one will forgive you." It's still fresh in my memory.

"Don't worry, you can't, those two girls can work easily." Fatty Tu assured, patted his chest.

"Wow!"

"Oh! Sis!"

"what happened?"

"What's the matter?"

"I'll see, I'll see!"

"Are you all right girl?"

"Did you fall?"

As soon as Lao Tu finished speaking, there was a noise from the nearby forest. It seemed that a little girl accidentally fell down.When working in the field, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps, a cut in the hand, and a fall under the foot. These are common things.

"What's the matter?" Lao Tu hurried over to see what happened, after all, he was the captain.

"It's nothing, just a sprain." The girl had already stood up at this time, and she smiled at Old Tu with some embarrassment.

The little girl sprained her ankle, and it was still swollen. No matter what, Lao Tu asked Lao Bai and his team to help bring this team member back. Do more of one's work.

This is also the reason why most of the short-term labor teams are not very willing to accept new members. These days, most people in the city have never done farm work, and if they don't work well, they will be delayed.

The girl followed Lao Bai and the others down the mountain, harvesting persimmons all the way down the mountain, and when encountering difficult mountain roads, a young woman in the team helped her from time to time.

"You're just here, so it's good to come back a few more times in the future." The young woman didn't think the little girl was causing her trouble. When she first came, she didn't know anything, and she was an old day laborer. brought out.

"..."

"Who put this bag in? Why isn't it full?"

"Old Tu and his team."

"The Dragon Slaying Squad is getting worse and worse now, well, it's short of that, we just add more to him, isn't it just a few persimmons."

"Yes, it saves him from talking about the fifty catties of sweet potatoes."

"Your team has come here for the past two days are all elite soldiers and strong generals?"

"Hahaha! That's not right, Lao Ke hasn't come here yet, otherwise the mountain of persimmons won't need you, and our team will take them all."

"..."

"..."

"The persimmons of the old Zhou's family have grown really big this year."

"I'm hungry."

"Needless to say, it must be sweet."

"It will take about three or four days before the first batch of persimmons leave the warehouse."

"..."

"..."

"Ouch! What's the matter?"

"This idiot just bit into a persimmon."

"Hahaha! How does it taste?"

"I can't speak at all."

"..."

"..."

"Hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"No more, the bags are full, wait for the team behind."

"You transportation teams are inefficient."

"Okay, just pick those two baskets of persimmons, and think that you are very efficient, go to work quickly, don't fail to complete the task then."

"..."

When they returned to the courtyard, the old man in the courtyard heard that someone sprained his ankle, so he took a bottle of medicinal wine from a cabinet in the cafeteria, wiped it off for the girl, and told her not to touch the raw water for a short time.

After Lao Bai and his team unloaded the goods, they chatted with the people in the yard, and then went up the mountain again. Today, the persimmon-picking team is very active, and their transportation team has to keep up with the rhythm.

Everyone in the yard was busy. The girl was sitting on the porch feeling bored. She took out her mobile phone and looked at it. Her older sister was posting photos of them picking persimmons. Under the golden sun, there were baskets of yellow and orange persimmons. Every buffalo, there are men and women picking persimmons, young and old...

After looking at it, she put down her phone again. The yard was a little boring. She also wanted to pick persimmons, but she sprained her foot.

"Girl, what's the matter with you, do you want to help me?" At this time, a big sister in the yard came over and asked her, holding some clothes in her hands.

"What can I do for you?" the little girl asked her.

"Help me unpack these clothes." The eldest sister said, and she also moved a stool and sat down beside her.

"What are you doing unpacking the clothes?" the girl said, reaching out to take two pieces of clothes from the other party, and taking a seam ripper.

"Remove these clothes to make a mattress." As the elder sister spoke, she waved the small seam ripper in her hand, and skillfully removed a small light gray coat on her lap. The coat was soft and It looked like a little boy's clothes, and it was a little worn.

"What is the mattress for?" the girl continued to ask.

"Use it to cover the persimmons. The persimmons of the old Zhou's family use the old method. You order white wine and cover them with a mattress. Don't you know?" The eldest sister laughed.

"Using old clothes?" The girl was surprised, this is not particular.

"Hey, have you seen that big pot over there? Take the fabrics out, put them in the washing machine on the porch over there, and wash them first, then put them in the pot and boil them, and finally wash them again. Don't worry, they're clean. Terrible." The eldest sister also knew what the little girl was thinking at this moment.

"You young people, you have never suffered, and you don't know how to cherish things. It's not like our generation. When we were young, no one's family was rich. We wore a piece of clothing again and again. When I was young, I always picked my brother. I always wear boy’s clothes, I can’t help it, there is no older sister, but it’s okay, everyone is like this at that time..."

Using old clothes to make mattresses was also proposed by these day laborers. Lao Zhou agreed without thinking about it. At the beginning, some people protested, saying that they would never buy Lao Zhou’s Huojing persimmons again. No, in the past few years, the persimmons of the old Zhou family have never heard of a time when they were unsalable.

"..."

"Is it okay to dismantle it like this?"

"Yes, just take it apart like this, and pick up the thread ends when you're done."

"..."

"Would you like to wash these?"

"You sit, I'll go."

"..."

"I'm running out of clothes."

"There are still plenty of them in the warehouse. They are in the firewood room. They are so high that they can't be used up. A few days ago, I picked some good ones and sent them to the Pagoda Temple. They are all good quality clothes. Now People buy clothes so diligently."

"..."

"Sister, why don't you go up the mountain to pick persimmons?"

"I went there yesterday and the day before yesterday. I'm a little tired today, so I just stayed in the yard. How are your feet? It's not serious, is it?"

"It's okay, just sprained."

"Be careful, try not to touch raw water and walk less in these two days."

"..."

After unpacking a few clothes, the eldest sister told her that Lao Zhou and the others were sorting persimmons in the nearby warehouse, and asked her if she wanted to take a look, and the girl limped away.

Those persimmons that have just been picked need to be touched with white wine on the persimmon stems, and then they are stacked layer by layer and covered with a mattress to hatch. She heard this from her little aunt before and saw the photos, but this After a while, I walked into the place where the persimmons were hatched, and I felt very fresh.

As soon as she entered, she heard the voices of several people talking while working. One of the voices was quite familiar, which was Lao Zhou's voice. She had heard several audios on the Internet before.

At this time, I only heard Lao Zhou say: "... As for your skill of dipping in wine, if you can't practice it by lunch time, you can go to work in the fields in the afternoon."

"Old Zhou, you are too picky, it's just a matter of ordering liquor." A young boy's voice answered.

"Do you know how much our baijiu costs per catty? Don't talk and practice hard." Lao Zhou raised his hand and patted the back of his head: "A persimmon only sells for one yuan, and this baijiu is dozens of dollars a catty, you say Do you have to save some..."
