"You're back." The old man was dozing off under the shade of a tree. When he saw the children coming back, he responded with drooping eyelids.
"Well, that's not bad. I'm waiting for big brother's reply. He will come to our house in a few days and tell me the details." Lin Daniu said with a smile.
Then he snatched the reins from Lin Xiaoniu's hand and took Niu Niu to the cowshed behind.
Guangdan and Lin Xiaoniu were looking around and peeking in the yard, and Fang Cuihua felt it was too much to bear to watch.
"Dad, how are the fabrics selling?"
Hearing Fang Cuihua's question, Grandpa Lin waved his hand and said softly, "We sold two-thirds of it, and the rest was brought back by the second brother and his wife. They are all in the main hall."
"That's not bad!" Fang Cuihua said cheerfully, the smile in her eyes seemed to overflow into her heart.
Guangdan ran into the main room and looked carefully at the basket against the wall. Sure enough, the ones with brighter colors had been sold, and the remaining ones were darker in color.
In fact, it stands to reason that country people would choose dark colors because they are more resistant to dirt!
But nowadays, the weaving and dyeing technologies are all for the service of the rich. Colorful cloth is for the rich and powerful, while the poor live in dull colors. So when you see slightly brighter colored cloth at a rally, it will naturally be snapped up.
Guangdan was very satisfied with this small business. Although he didn't make much money, a little bit adds up to a lot. If he made some money here and some more there, wouldn't his life be better?
"Bad egg---"
Just as I was about to go to Goudan to play with the two little girls, I heard my grandfather's voice.
I trotted over to the apricot tree and sat down on the small stool next to my grandfather. I tilted my head back and immediately saw the tree full of apricots.
"Master, the apricots on the top of this tree are ripe. How about I climb up and pick some to taste?"
"Let's talk about this later. Tell me what your uncle says." Grandpa Lin glanced at the still green apricot and said speechlessly.
Guangdan repeated the conversation at his uncle's house in detail, and then said, "It's basically done, but we need to consider the budget. Good materials are hard to get, and the price won't be too cheap."
"Well, let's think about it in the next few days and then we'll talk about it in detail when your uncle comes over. Be careful when climbing trees. Just climb up and hit the top branches a few times with a stick." Grandpa Lin said as he stood up.
Holding his small walking stick in one hand and with the other hand behind his back, he walked out slowly.
Guangdan didn't ask, probably because he went to talk to the village chief. Apart from the fact that his grandfather was in poor health, there was not much else to say about him.
As soon as grandpa left, the little girl in the main room rushed out like a cannonball. Maybe she rushed too fast, and she staggered when crossing the threshold, which made Guangdan feel scared.
"Brother, climb the tree!" the little girl grabbed Guangdan's trouser leg, tilted her head back and said with sparkling eyes.
Guangdan reached out and stroked his messy bun hair a few times, holding up his trouser waist helplessly and said: "I'll go up there to pick apricots, and you pick them up down there, but little girl, if you don't let go, your second brother's trousers will fall off."
“Hehehe, take off your pants! Hurry up and crawl!”
The little girl grinned and made a few faces, then started to urge again.
Guangdan found a thin bamboo stick by the wall, put it around his waist and climbed up the apricot tree. At this time, Goudan and Ahe, who were reading and learning arithmetic in the house, also strolled out slowly, followed by Yaya, who was staggering beside them.
After climbing onto a relatively thick branch, I stood on tiptoe and squinted my eyes to observe carefully. At this time, the apricots on the tree were basically still green, and only a few yellow apricots at the top could be vaguely seen.
After finding the location of the yellow apricots, Guangdan started to stir them with a bamboo stick, and then he heard the sound of apricots falling.
"There are too few ripe ones here. Let's pick them in a few days." Guangdan looked down at the apricots on the ground, most of which were green. He stopped reluctantly and climbed down the tree without caring about the little girl with a pouty mouth.
"There are only five yellow ones." The little girl held a few yellow apricots in the corner of her clothes and looked at the unripe green apricots on the ground with disdain.
"I'll go fetch some water." Goudan said and turned to go towards the kitchen.
Cousin Ah He carefully picked up the unripe apricots on the ground, but he didn't know what to do with them. In the end, he just took one out and took a bite without washing it.
"hiss----"
Seeing his cousin Ahe's collapsed look, almost running away from home because of the sour facial features, Guangdan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Guangdan knows how to deal with unripe apricots. It is definitely not okay to eat them as they are, but they can be made into apricot jam.
But seeing that his cousin Ahe only had four or five coins in his pocket, Guangdan gave up the idea.
While he was still grinning, Goudan had already scooped up a bucket of water.
After a quick rinse, several people started to eat the apricots without saying a word.
Ripe apricots have a rich sweet and sour fruity aroma when you put them in your mouth. The sour taste is greater than the sweet taste on your taste buds, and the saliva in your mouth seems to increase instantly.
Guangdan even felt that he was drooling while eating. The sweet and sour fruit taste really stimulated his taste buds. After eating an apricot, Guangdan suddenly felt hungry.
After the four of them finished eating the apricots, the little girl was still holding the last one tightly in her hand, with a conflicted look on her face.
"Little girl, what should we do with the last one?" Guangdan asked maliciously.
The little girl blushed all of a sudden and stammered, "Second sister didn't eat it, Goudan didn't eat it, eldest brother didn't eat it, and little aunt didn't eat it either. Then, what should I do?"
After saying that, he blinked his big eyes and looked at Guangdan, and the meaning in his eyes was extremely obvious.
"Oh, what should I do? I can't tell them apart!" Guangdan pretended to be very troubled and didn't know what to do.
"Well, how about I eat it first, and next time, they can eat it. We can't share it!" He said this with certainty but also a little guilty, and his big watery eyes stared at the small apricot in his hand.
"Hahaha, eat, eat. I won't tease you anymore. Unfortunately, they are not at home today. I'll give it to them next time!" Guangdan happily stretched out his hand to stroke the little girl's bun, and the little bun was messed up.
Seeing that Yaya was still chewing an apricot with both hands, Goudan picked up the little girl and went to the main room carefully.
Guangdan thought that Goudan liked Yaya more than Xiaoya. What he didn't know was that Goudan now had a headache when he saw Xiaoya. This kid was really a huge stumbling block in his teaching career! Dark history!
Take Goudan for example. At such a young age, he already knows why teachers like obedient students. He really understands this.
