However, Old Zhu's high spirits only lasted three minutes in the hot summer day. Just as he turned around the bamboo forest, he saw two old men rushing towards him and surrounding him!
"Good job! I said I couldn't find you today, and sure enough you came to pick up the package secretly - come on, let me see what my granddaughter sent me?"
The one who spoke was the shameless Old Yun.
Old Zhu frowned and said, "Whose granddaughter are you calling me? My granddaughter only has me as her biological grandfather."
"You're talking nonsense! When we were brothers, we swore that we would be a family from now on. What, now that you're married, we're no longer relatives?"
"Besides, my granddaughter has already promised to send me something, but the courier has only filled in your name!"
This really wasn't Xiao Zhu's negligence, it was just that it was difficult to distribute the money among this group of people... Everything else was fine, but there were only two kilograms of tobacco, who should I send it to
Just put it together and let everyone distribute it freely.
"Old Yun, what are you getting involved in! You got so much tobacco last time and it wasn't enough! It's a pity that you got such a bargain - come up! Let me see!"
"You still say that! Did I get a bargain? You said you would give me half, but now you guys are grabbing the cigarettes after they are ready... You have no shame!"
Lao Yun became even angrier.
"Don't even think about it, I don't have much time left. How can you bear to leave me empty-handed? Here you go!" While the two were arguing, Old Chen on the side snatched the box away!
However, the box was too heavy and he was caught off guard, almost spraining his waist. The guard at the side hurriedly took it over.
The group of people argued for a long time, but the box was still in the other person's hands and hadn't moved at all.
It was a hot day and the young man was sweating profusely as he carried the heavy cardboard boxes.
Until Old Zhu said in a low voice:
"Okay, do you want everyone to know? Be quiet!"
My goodness, there are too many people and too little food now. What will happen if other people know about this
Everyone looked at each other, snorted, and stopped.
There was no need to go home. He just squatted on the ground and prepared to open the express package and divide it on the spot.
As soon as the box was opened and the plastic film was not removed, Lao Chen rushed over and said, "My tobacco..."
"Come on! You can't smoke, so go away! I'll give you something else if I have something else."
Old Zhu quickly blasted him.
He knew that this time his granddaughter had finally managed to get two kilograms of tobacco again after going through so much trouble, and this time even the king of heaven could not take it away from her!
Sure enough, seeing a golden package inside, Old Zhu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed it and ran away before anyone could grab it!
Damn it, aren’t you afraid of breaking your leg at your age!
The young man holding the box at the side quickly stepped aside to block the way, and then took out a tightly wrapped block in plastic film from the box:
"What is this?"
Everyone: …!
Humph, you look like a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn’t expect that you are actually helping Old Zhu!
But everyone thought: if there is a first time, there will be a second time. If there is a second time, there will be a third and fourth time. There is no need to rush.
Anyway, if you run out of cigarettes, you can just go and get some. It’s inevitable.
As for the rest…
Remembering the smell of those things before, everyone's attention was diverted.
In this heavy box, the honey and white fungus were packed extremely tightly, and at the end there were even 10 bottles of chili sauce!
Ouch!
Both honey and white fungus are sweet, but they lack salty and spicy flavors!
This time no one dared to underestimate the chili sauce. Lao Yun unscrewed the lid with great effort. A fragrant smell rushed to his nose, making him quickly close the lid and sneeze with his head tilted to the side.
Then he paused and said, "Great! This must have been sent to me by my granddaughter. She knows I love spicy food!"
They haven't even paid for the chili sauce yet, but they still say that Xiao Zhu is a thoughtful and considerate girl.
At this moment, two elderly people came over. Seeing them squatting on the ground as if they were having a meeting, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing? It's like you're fighting over a treasure..."
While talking and laughing, he sensed something was wrong and hurried forward—
"Oh! Green pepper beef sauce! Let me try it - oh, it's so strong! I love it. Where did you get it? Can you give me a bottle to try? I'll give you a bottle of my pickles..."
"Give me one too. I have stinky tofu at home..."
People gathered around from all directions, and the ten bottles of chili sauce were quickly divided up. Lao Yun and Lao Chen were powerless to resist, and could only hold back their tears:
Finished!
How can we compete after this
…
Secretary Xiao Zhu didn't know that her group of grandfathers was going to expand again. She just looked at the busy villagers all over the mountain and showed a satisfied and expectant smile at this moment.
This year we have to hire so many people to work on our 20-mu peach orchard. If we take on more next year, won’t we need even more people
By then the whole village will be mobilized...
Such a magnificent scene is beyond imagination!
The villagers carefully avoided the vines on the ground and worked together to pick the furry green peaches the size of pigeon eggs that were so densely packed on the trees that they bent the branches, and then threw them into the baskets one by one.
The bamboo basket was brown and slightly yellow, and the green peaches inside were round and rolling around, looking really adorable.
As Secretary Xiao Zhu watched, he suddenly started to drool and quickly went down the mountain.
At home, my seventh cousin was preparing pickled peaches.
However, the green peaches had just been washed and were drying, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Do you want something salty or sweet and sour?"
“Salty!”
“Sweet and sour!”
“Salty!”
“Sweet and sour!”
Well, everyone has a different taste.
Only Qiao Qiao looked at the baskets of green peaches in the yard and wondered, "Can't we do all of them?"
Seventh cousin: ... This child, why does he talk so much sometimes? Isn’t it okay for him to forget about it for a while
But at this moment, the dignity of being a teacher cannot be violated, so he said stubbornly: "I just want to make one first, so you can try it!"
"It's okay!" Qiao Qiao said obediently, "Uncle, tell me how to do it. You do one and I'll do the other."
Seventh cousin: …
Everyone reacted and started laughing, but were then mercilessly bossed around by the somewhat embarrassed and annoyed seventh cousin.
Aunt Lianhua was pouring salt into the basin and then putting the green peaches in to soak and scrub them thoroughly.
In the red rubber gloves, the fuzz on the little green peaches was smoothed by the water, washing out the color of spring grass, so green and lovely they were.
It makes people want to put it in their mouths just to taste what it tastes like.
Zhang Yanping cried out "Ouch!" and squinted his eyes due to the pain. His expression was extremely painful:
"Suck it—don't they say unripe peaches have no taste? Why are they so sour?"
It's not only sour, but also a little bitter, which is very strange.
However, after he recovered, he stared at the remaining green peaches and for some reason he couldn't help but drooling again.
