The happy little days of crossing

Early the next morning, the village chief Lin Chengan rang the gongs and drums to summon the villagers to talk about the matter, and people from the Lin family village came to the open space in front of Lin Chengan's house one after another.

After Lin Bao'er and Lin Han'er had breakfast at home, they came to the door of the village chief's house with their backpacks on their backs.When Lin Baoer and Lin Haner arrived, Lin Dazhuang's family had already arrived. After greeting each other, they stood together and waited for the village chief to speak.

The villagers were very surprised that the village head called them to gather early in the morning, and they talked one after another.

"Village Chief, why did you call us here early in the morning? We will have to work in the fields later."

"That's right, village chief, tell me quickly, something must have happened, right?"

"No way, don't talk about it anymore, we'll know if the village chief tells us later."

"It's true." The villagers echoed.

"Okay, everyone be quiet, I have something to tell you." Lin Chengan raised the volume to signal the villagers to stop talking and listen carefully to what he said.Seeing that the villagers had calmed down, Lin Chengan continued: "I called you here today because I want you to go up the mountain to find tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers, pick them, and send them to me. It was the result of discussions between Lin Baoer and several people last night that the things picked by the villagers should be sent to Lin Chengan's house. The baskets were loaded and transported to Yunlaiju Restaurant in the town.

As soon as Lin Chengan finished speaking, the villagers became unquiet instantly.

"Village Chief, what are tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers?"

"That's right, village head, what do you want us to pick those things for?"

"Oh, let's pick it if the village chief told us to pick it. Why do you have so many? Two copper coins a catty. If you pick a lot, it will be a lot of money."

"Yeah, two copper coins a catty, I don't know what those tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and that one called pepper look like."

Some villagers still wanted to say something, Lin Chengan raised his hand to signal the villagers to be quiet, he took the tomatoes, onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper samples that Lin Baoer gave him, and showed the villagers, "I have tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers. , Find as many as you can find later. However, you must not destroy the roots, just pick the ripe ones."

The villagers saw the tomatoes, peppers, green onions, ginger, and garlic in Lin Chengan's hands. What about chili?The villagers thought it was strange, but they didn't say anything. They went home and took their baskets, and gathered in front of Lin Chengan's house. They waited for Lin Chengan's order to pick the tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Ginger and garlic, two copper coins a catty, just need a little effort, this is a good thing for pure money.

Lin Chengan said to the villagers: "Are you all ready?"

The villagers said in unison, "Everything is ready, just wait for the village chief to speak."

"Okay, ready, let's go."

"it is good."

The people in the village, apart from those who had to go to work in the fields, and those who were older, and the rest who had no work to do, husbands, brothers, and boys, all followed Lin Chengan to the Lin Family Village. Walk around the mountains.

Along the way, someone asked Lin Chengan how he knew the names of tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers, and also asked him what are the uses of these.

Lin Chengan answered them one by one. He told the villagers that this was all due to Lin Baoer. Tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers can be used for cooking. Lin Chengan also took advantage of the opportunity to discuss with the villagers about the cultivation of tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers. , listing the benefits.

The villagers thought about it in their hearts. If it is really what Lin Chengan said, then they will try various things. The villagers are also grateful to Lin Baoer. If they really make money, it is thanks to Lin Baoer Woolen cloth.This time such a good opportunity to make money, Lin Baoer didn't hide it from them, and even led them to make money. Because of this, the villagers' love for Lin Baoer rose several heights, and even Lin Han'er fell in love with her even more.

Since people in the village did not know the functions of tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers before, a lot of tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers grew wildly on several hills near the village.

People in the village were picking tomatoes, peppers, digging onions, ginger and garlic, chatting with each other, it was very lively.

"The village hasn't been so lively for a long time, thanks to Brother Bao." Liu Lian'er said to Zhang Xiu'er beside her with a smile.

As for Lin Han'er, Lin Dahu and the other two children in the village had already gone to laugh and play with other children in the village. Lin Dahu went to watch the two children. Incorrect.Lin Fu didn't come because he went to see a doctor in a neighboring village today.

"Yeah, thanks to Brother Bao, otherwise we wouldn't have the big collection today and the opportunity to make money." Zhang Xiuer also said with a smile.

Lin Baoer picked the chili peppers, smiled and said to Liu Lianer and Zhang Xiuer, "Ah Xiu, Ah Lian, don't talk like that anymore, I'm even embarrassed to say that. By the way, the tomatoes on this mountain, green onion, ginger, garlic, There are quite a lot of peppers, I think we can pick a few catties each."

Zhang Xiu'er looked around. She used to go up the mountain to cut firewood, but she didn't pay attention when mowing the grass. What Lin Baoer said was quite a lot. "Isn't that right? We didn't have anyone to pick them before. We let them grow as we like, and they grew quite a lot. There are a lot of them."

"There are a lot of them, but we still have to plant them. Otherwise, we can't come to the mountain to pick them every time for business with Yunlaiju Restaurant. It's better to plant them at home. I feel at ease, can buy money, and eat them at home. In the village I think everyone would be willing to plant it." Liu Lian'er is the husband of the village head, and she also thinks very long-term.

Lin Baoer nodded and said, "Well, Aunt Lian is right, it's better to grow it yourself, don't worry. The wild ones grow on the mountain, and the yield and taste are not stable."

The three of Lin Baoer finished picking the small piece of pepper in front of them and were about to pick another place when they suddenly heard Lin Haner's cry.The three hurried to the direction where the crying sound came from.

Lin Baoer hugged the crying Lin Haner into her arms, gently wiped away Lin Haner's tears, patted the dirt on his clothes, and said softly, "Han'er, what's the matter, why are you crying, brother is here, come with brother Say it."

Lin Han'er found a sense of security in her elder brother's arms, pointed to a husband and a younger brother in front of her, and said, "Brother, they pushed Han'er and even snatched Han'er's back basket. No more. Han'er is really useless."

As soon as Lin Han'er finished speaking, Zhang Xiu'er and Liu Lian'er were very angry. You said that a husband and a younger brother bullied Lin Han'er together.

"I'm talking about the Ergou family, how old are you, and you still take your brother to bully Han, are you embarrassed? Tell me, why do you want to grab Han's back basket!" Liu Lian'er was very angry, he I knew that the husband and the younger brother of Ergou's family were a little bit talkative and snobbish, but they were not bad people, but I didn't expect them to be such people.

"Brother Lian is right, Ergou family, you still haven't given us an explanation, hurry up and apologize to Brother Han." Zhang Xiu'er said.

Several husbands nearby also came over when they heard the movement. Knowing the cause and effect, they were very dissatisfied with the father and son of Ergou's family. Several husbands also said something about them.

The husband of Lin Ergou's family is named Wang Qianer, and the younger brother of his family is named Lin Lier.When Wang Qian'er saw so many people surrounding the father and son, he wanted to say a few soft words and left. There were too many people and they couldn't take advantage of it.Who knows, his little brother ignored his winks and yelled, "Who asked Lin Han'er to pick the tomatoes we picked? Daddy and I took his back basket to get our tomatoes back. I It’s just that I accidentally pushed him, he lost his footing and fell, it’s none of my business.”

"Your? It's funny." Lin Baoer looked at Wang Qian'er and his son coldly, "Is your father and son's name written on it? Why can't Han'er pick it up? Or are you just targeting me and Han'er?!"

"That's right, from Ergou's family, how could you and your brother Li say this and do this. Without Brother Bao, how would we know that these tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers can be sold for money and eaten."

"Yes, Ergou's family, you can't do this."

"Brother Li, you are ashamed to say that this is not your family, and you still want to occupy it all by yourself."

Several husbands scolded Wang Qianer and his son with each other.

Wang Qian'er was also a good talker. He saw that the situation today was not right, so he wanted to lead his brother away, but his brother was too blind to see, and he kept yelling, "This is me and Daddy. I found out first, why did Lin Han'er come to pick it up, I won't allow it."

Lin Baoer was even amused by Lin Lier's words, heh, they found out first, and they didn't let Han'er pick it up, it's really ridiculous. "I won't accept everything you father and son picked, and I won't give you a son."

Lin Lier wanted to say something else, but before she could say it, she was dragged away by Wang Qianer.

After Lin Bao'er and the others watched Wang Qian'er and his son walk away, the husbands said a few words of comfort and left.

Lin Bao'er said softly to Lin Han'er in her arms: "Okay, Han'er, my brother won't accept the tomatoes and peppers picked by their family, so vent your anger on Han'er."

Zhang Xiu'er picked up the back basket on the side, handed it to Lin Han'er, and said softly, "Brother Han, don't be sad anymore, you didn't hurt from the fall, right? By the way, where did your Big Hu and Uncle Da Zhuang go? Didn't they follow you?" ?”

Lin Han'er took the pannier, left Lin Baoer's arms, and put the pannier on her back, "Brother Big Hu and Uncle Da Zhuang went to another mountain, but Han'er didn't follow. Ah Xiu, Han'er doesn't hurt, Han'er is crying because Han'er is useless, let Qian Ahma and Li Ge'er grab the back basket."

Lin Han'er's words instantly softened the hearts of Lin Baoer and the three of them, and they secretly scolded Wang Qian'er and his son a few words in their hearts.Lin Baoer even dragged Wang Qianer and his son into the permanent blacklist.

After the episode, everyone in the village finished picking what they wanted to pick. After gathering at the foot of the mountain, the group headed back to the village in a mighty manner.

Lin Dazhuang, Lin Dahu and his son also knew about the episode that happened during the picking process. The father and son had no feelings for Wang Qianer and his son at first, but now they all hate Wang Qianer and his son in their hearts.

The amount of tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers picked on the four hills near Linjia Village this time is still considerable.This time, a total of 208 catties of tomatoes, 124 catties of onions, ginger and garlic, and 116 catties of peppers were picked.The people in the village were shocked by the number. They didn't know if they didn't pick it. They were shocked when they picked it. They weigh so much. It seems that nature has given them a lot of gifts.

There are a total of 56 households in Linjia Village, and 102 people went to the big collection this time.Everyone in the village happily took their share of the money and went home. Some people got more if they picked more. Of course, Wang Qianer's family didn't get any money.Although it is only a few copper coins, it is much better than being idle at home and not getting any money. A few copper coins are also the wages of going to the town to work for a day.

After Lin Baoer, Lin Haner, and Lin Dazhuang's family had lunch at Lin Chengan's house, it was decided that Lin Baoer, Lin Chengan, and Lin Dazhuang would send the tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers they picked today to the Yunlaiju Restaurant in the town.Lin Dazhuang also asked Uncle Niu to rent his family's ox cart, otherwise a mule cart would not be able to load it all.

After getting ready, the three of Lin Baoer set off towards the town.
