"Hurry up and eat yours. After eating, let's pick up the ears of wheat."
Mei Xiaoran likes picking wheat ears, but she doesn't mean how diligent she cherishes food, but she likes the atmosphere where both adults and children are busy. Besides, the school also has tasks assigned. When the school starts, the children have to hand in the ears of wheat. She is also completing her homework.
Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai happily took the steamed buns and fried dough sticks, one stuffed the steamed buns in his father's hand, and the other stuffed the fried dough sticks in his father's hand. "Dad, this steamed buns fried dough stick is delicious. You can try it too."
"Ran Ran, look at you, it's coming right away, what kind of squandered money?"
Zhou Jincheng knows that the eldest sisters have the best life as a family, but this is also the result of their hard work. Not only is he not jealous, but he is also afraid that the eldest sister will supplement his family too much and let Brother Mei know that he is angry.
"Second uncle, this was brought to you by my dad."
Mei Xiaoran felt that since she was such a good person, it would be better for her dad to get rid of it.
"Second uncle, when I built a house last time, my dad didn't think about you at first, but he only gave you the money calculated by the small worker. In fact, he was very sorry."
A person as old as Zhou Jincheng, his face turned red when he heard the words of his niece, "What nonsense are you talking about, your dad is already taking care of me, and I am very grateful to your dad."
"Okay, second uncle, don't say anything, you have to take a good rest at home, I'm leaving with Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai."
Mei Xiaoyan saw that his cousin had finished eating steamed buns fritters, and then took a basket one by one and ran to the wheat field.
In fact, there is no need to go to the wheat field at all. There are scattered wheat ears everywhere on the road. The three children pick up and walk, and when they arrive at the wheat field, there is also a small half basket.
Originally, Mei Xiaoran wanted to bring her brother to pick up the wheat ears, but Mei Xiaolei now has an idea, and said that he would not like to pick up the wheat ears with the children. He was going to pick up the wheat ears with Ouyang Xun. He was not much older than Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai, so he began to pretend to be a small adult.
When Mei Xiaoran heard this, he ignored him.
At this time the sun has already risen, and except for the adults on the wheat field, there are children running around and having fun.
There were no fun things in that era. The wheat field was a playground for children. The adults were busy, and the children played hide-and-seek on the wheat field, somersaulted, played with officers and soldiers to catch thieves, anyway.
Very happy, it will definitely make them happy!
Picking up the ears of wheat fell next.
When Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai saw so many children playing, they threw the basket and rushed to Maiduo.
It's really kids!
Mei Xiaoran is no longer a child in her bones, and she is not interested in the things these children play with. She is really honestly picking up the ears of wheat.
In a short while, she picked up a basket, but she was so hot and sweaty that she sat in the shade of the tree to rest.
Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai are still playing crazy, and they are also running wild with sweat.
At this moment, I saw a fourteen or five-year-old boy riding a bicycle and shouting from afar, "Ice lollies, five cents a popsicle, who wants a popsicle!"
The shouting made the children greedy to death, and they all surrounded them with a "wow!"
For Mei Xiaoran, how delicious ice cream ice cream is for later generations, popsicles are really not her dish. But now it is 1979, and the reform and opening up has just begun. Popsicles are the most delicious cold drink that children can eat in the summer. Just hearing the word popsicles can make them feel numb.
The bicycle selling popsicles got closer, and then I saw that he was a handsome boy.
Mei Xiaoran took a closer look, isn't this Ouyang Xun
His family conditions are so good, why did he come to do this
At this moment, after searching for Ouyang’s bicycle, Mei Xiaolei jumped off again holding a big box, grinning at Mei Xiaoran, "Sister!"
"Aren't you two going to pick up the wheat ears, why would you come to sell popsicles!"
Mei Xiaoran felt that she was able to do this, and if she were to switch to Ouyang Xun and Mei Xiaolei, she would feel abnormal.
Ouyang Xun smiled brilliantly, "We are also here to get wheat ears."
He winked at Mei Xiaolei, "Let's start now."
Mei Xiaolei put the box full of popsicles on the ground and shouted loudly, "The wheat ears have been replaced by popsicles. Five catties of wheat ears are exchanged for a popsicle. If there is no wheat ears, it will cost five cents."
Mei Xiaolei shouted, and the children gathered around, "Really? Can five catties of wheat ears really be exchanged for a popsicle?"
"Of course it's true. Why are we here?"
As Mei Xiaolei said, he took out the cardboard under the box and arranged it along the box. The five words "wheat ears for popsicles" were written on it.
At this point, Mei Xiaoran really admires Ouyang Xun's mind, this idea is definitely not her brother came up with. Ouyang Xun used this method in order not to pick up wheat ears. Xueba is Xueba, and his head is really a good thing.
When the children heard that the wheat ears could be exchanged for popsicles, they stopped playing crazy, and they all went to pick up the wheat ears in a swarm.
Zhou Yan pulled Zhou Kai towards him timidly, "Lei Lei, do I and Xiao Kai also exchange wheat ears for popsicles?"
Mei Xiaolei glanced at Ouyang Xun, and seeing that there was a bit of encouragement in his eyes, he said in a big manner, "Of course, you have to exchange wheat ears for popsicles. But you are all my cousins. If someone else exchanges five catties for a popsicle, you exchange two."
When Zhou Yan heard this, Zhou Kai was about to go to the wheat field to pick up the wheat ears, but Mei Xiaolei stopped them, "You two wait a moment."
He took out two popsicles from the box and gave one to Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai, "Eat it, this one doesn't count, this is what my cousin asked you to eat."
"Thank Lei Lei brother."
The two children happily took the popsicles, and they were both reluctant to slurp, but licked the ice cubes with small mouths and small mouths, and the ice sweetness from the tip of the tongue made them beautiful to the bottom of their hearts.
Mei Xiaolei took out another popsicle and handed it to Mei Xiaoran, "Sister, I asked you to eat this one."
"You have a conscience."
Mei Xiaoran was not so polite. She took it and ate. She was sweating just after picking up the ears of wheat, and was about to cool off!
Ouyang Xun couldn't help but smile when she saw that she was eating popsicles like cucumbers.
"Ran Ran, do you want to change wheat ears?"
Seeing that Mei Xiaoran had eaten a popsicle after three times, five and two, Ouyang teased her.
Mei Xiaoran curled his mouth, "I won't change it. Picking up wheat ears is so hard, and eating popsicles is much easier."
Now the family's life is going well. Mei Xiaoran belongs to the kind of student who is more affluent. Almost every day, her parents give her pocket money. Sometimes they ask her to run errands to buy things, and the remaining money will go to her. .
At this time, Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai also ate the popsicles, and didn't dare to ask for them anymore, so they could only stare at the popsicle box with desperate eyesight.
Mei Xiaoran graciously took out fifty cents from his pocket, and put it on the box containing the popsicles. "Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai, come over and get the popsicles. It's mine if you eat more and less."
