Chapter 835 Hou Changgong

  Wen Shigui and these elderly people each ate two or three jujubes, and then left Wen Xu’s house and turned to work, leaving a yard full of children and monkeys making noise in the yard.

Wen Xu took a rest after eating a handful of jujubes, watching a group of monkeys picking up jujubes among the children, and from time to time, squirrels knocked on the forehead or body with jujubes, grunted and continued to pick up jujubes and put them in their mouths stuffed.

The happiest ones are the three little ones in Wen Xu’s family. The three of them almost eat as much as they want these days, so they are not very interested in eating jujubes, but they are so happy to see so many people coming to their house , people ran around the yard like crazy, as if they had just installed a new battery, lap after lap, it was a **** of a run. Wen Xu, who ran away, thought that she had given birth to three silly sons, so she had to cover her forehead from time to time, thinking about whether she had inherited her daughter-in-law’s or her own to be so happy doing such a silly thing.

Both the white weasel’s family and the fishing cat’s family are meat eaters, and they couldn’t care less about the jujube harvesting, especially after each of them sniffed the fallen jujubes, so they asked Standing in a place, they put on a cold posture, like the audience listening to a symphony in a theater, with a straight face, watching a group of children mixed with a group of monkeys in the yard picking up dates .

  As for Xuehua and Jumao, they are definitely not at home at this time, they just went out with Shi Shangzhen, even if they were at home, they would not have any thoughts about Zao’er. Add at most two numbers to the high-cold group.

For the few little things that eat meat, I really can’t understand why these silly guys in the yard like this stuff all over the floor so much. This is understandable, but Dahua Erhua’s performance today is not too excited, so some children I feel strange.

Coco, who was full, went to Erhua Dahua, took out the jujube from her pocket, and stretched it to Dahua’s mouth. Dashi tilted his head, bit the jujube into his mouth, and began to chew. When I wake up, even eating dates is not as cheerful as before, and I look a little lazy.

   “Uncle Wen?” Ke Ke ran in front of Wen Xu and held Wen Xu, stretched out his fingers to Erhua, the big flower who was lying on the edge of the bed, and said, “Are the big flowers and Erhua sick?”

  Wen Xu glanced at Dahua Erhua, smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Ke Ke’s forehead: “Dahua Erhua is not sick, but Dahua Erhua has a bear in her stomach, and she doesn’t want to move a little bit!”

Wen Xu has never paid attention to how female bears in the wild raise their fetuses, but she thinks that female bears in the wild must have to find food. You must know that in the wild, the task of male bears is to fight and then mate. , the female bear must find food by herself.

But when I came to Dahua Erhua, I started to be lazy like a human pregnant woman, so lazy that I don’t even want to eat the jujube in front of me, except for eating time. In the yard, I slept with my head motionless. Even when I opened my eyes, I just turned my head, and I didn’t have the same cheerfulness as before, let alone playing with the children.

   “Oh” Ke Ke ran back to Da Hua’s side after saying a word, squatted down and stretched out her hand to stroke Da Hua’s forehead, and said something while doing it.

Wen Xu didn’t say much about the little girl’s behavior, and turned her eyes to the jujube tree. Now there are piles of dates under the jujube tree, and the highest part is almost fifty centimeters. He took out the prepared bags, threw them on the ground, and then took out more than a dozen baskets from the house, both large and small, the small ones were about the size of a small bag, and the big ones had to be carried by two children. .

Facts have proved that monkeys are sometimes more reliable than humans when they do long-term work. They don’t know what stealing and cheating are. Of course, it may be because they are working at Wen Xu’s house, and Khan is still watching. I don’t dare to be lazy and play tricks, so this job is done quite hard.

   “Don’t bother to eat them, just put the jujube in a basket and send it to me.” Wen Xu issued a new task to the children.

  Da Lei and the group of children were eating happily. Hearing what Wen Xu said, Da Lei was the first to run over, picked up the biggest basket, put it on his shoulder, and ran under the tree.

   “Be careful!”

Wen Xu’s words hadn’t come to an end yet, Da Lei sat down on his ass, it wouldn’t matter if the ground was flat, but now there are jujubes on the ground, it hurts the boy immediately, when he stands up again Rubbing my butt, I couldn’t help crying out that it hurts.

“I told you to be careful, you all be careful, it doesn’t matter if you fall on your buttocks now, if you hurt my date, I will beat someone later!” Wen Wen smiled and said, indicating to the little guys Come get the basket.

More than a dozen baskets were divided, and the little ones worked very hard. Even if they didn’t keep up with the fruits of the labor of the big monkeys on the tree, the jujubes under the tree soon piled up higher and higher. , The jujubes close to the tree pole piled up more than one meter.

In the end, there was no other way, Wen Xu also joined the jujube army, even with Wen Xu joining, the problem still could not be solved, when it was almost noon, waiting for Shi Shangzhen to come back, seeing the jujubes under the trees in the yard was fast Can bury people.

   “Why are there so many? Didn’t you reduce the jujube this year? I think it means that the more you reduce the more,” Shi Shangzhen said in surprise when he saw the situation in the yard.

  When I was warm, I was so busy that I didn’t turn my head back, and said directly: “The jujubes have decreased, but the tree has grown too! Just look at where the crown of the tree is growing!”

At this time, Yan Dong also came back to the yard. Hearing what Shi Shangzhen said, he immediately replied: “Your family’s jujubes have decreased, but the jujube tree has also grown. Didn’t you find it? In my opinion, it has grown a lot.” More than two laps”

  Hearing what Yan Dong said, both Wen Xu and Shi Shangzhen began to look at the jujube tree.

Because the two of them live in the yard every day, it is not easy to notice the growth of the jujube tree, but now they heard what Yan Dong said, and after observing themselves, they immediately discovered that the jujube tree is better than when the yard was just built. The jujube tree only occupied half of the yard on the west side, but now the canopy has stretched beyond the center line, and has crossed the wall to the west, and some of the jujube tree branches have stretched out of the wall.

   “It’s really a lot bigger!” Wen Xu nodded and said.

“It’s more than a lot bigger, okay? By the way, give me a few branches of the jujube tree in two days. I’ll go back and plant them in my new yard. The jujube tree in your house is really too big.” It’s gratifying, and when our children grow up, they will have fresh dates to eat,” Yan Dong said.

Hearing what Yan Dong said, Yuanbo, who was working, immediately interjected and said, “Uncle Yan Dong, you are too uneducated. It is very difficult to live if you cut jujube trees, okay? Even if you cut branches and sprouted at the beginning That’s usually false, if you really want it, go outside the courtyard wall of Uncle’s house, there are small shoots from jujubes that fall early! That’s the one that can be planted.”

Rural children know that jujube trees are difficult to survive if they are cut with branches. It is not that there are no living examples of jujube trees from cuttings, but the probability of survival and rooting is too small. Even if rooting powder is added, jujube branches are also difficult Roots grow. This is common sense for rural children, but Yan Dong doesn’t know it. He thinks that many trees can be cut, and so can jujube trees, so it just happened to happen today, and he wanted to move Wenxu’s jujube tree. To their own small yard.

“Little bud? Could it be the variety of this jujube tree?” The jujube tree from Wenxu’s family that Yan Dong wanted, he was a little uncertain about the jujube tree that grew on the wall of Wenxu’s house. In his opinion, who knows if it is this kind? The buds born from the jujube stones that the jujubes that the children eat are casually vomited.

  Yuanbo glanced at Yan Dong contemptuously with a pair of small eyes, and finally didn’t even bother to talk to him, and continued to bury his head in his own jujube.

“Hey, you kid still dare to discriminate against me!” Yan Dong walked over with a smile, stretched out his foot and lightly kicked Yuanbo’s ass: “Is there any reason for my doubts? I can be sure of these monkeys, now who knows if the sprouts are from this big jujube tree.”

   “I’m too lazy to explain to you!” Yuan Bo said arrogantly.

   “Okay, okay, what are you and the child struggling with, it’s just in time to come back, come and help me fill the jujubes” Wen Xu casually threw a bag to Yan Dong.

   Yan Dong shook the small notebook in his hand: “I still have something to do here!”

   “You can’t push back anything. Didn’t you see that I’m busy here? If you don’t reach out, your family’s portion of candied dates will be halved this year!” Wen Xu ‘threatened’ said.

   Yan Dong said with a bitter face: “Why, if King Xian and Hu Jun don’t come, they won’t be halved. If I come here, I will lose if I don’t work?”

   “No matter how nonsense you talk, you won’t even have that half!” Wen Xu was not interested in listening to his explanation at all.

   Yan Dong let out a long sigh, put the roll of notebook in his hand directly into his collar: “Forget it, I’m afraid of you!”

   After speaking, she squatted down to help Wen Xu and began to hug Zao’er.

   Together, the two brothers were faster, and finally managed to catch up with the monkeys on the tree. After a while, Shi Shangzhen, who came out of the house after changing clothes, also joined the labor force. Now she took over the work of packing dates, that is, putting the dates that the children put in baskets into sacks, waiting for a bag to be packed. When it is full, drag the sack to the corner and lean against the base of the wall, so that the bag will not fall down.

  All the people in the yard worked in an orderly manner for about half an hour, and the jujubes began to decrease after being shaken off the tree by the long-term monkey workers, and the leaves of the jujube tree began to increase.

   “Okay, okay, come down!”

Wen Xu stood up and instructed Khan to roughly shake each piece of the tree a few times. He felt that shaking the jujubes on the tree would not have much effect, so he gave Khan a few monkeys. called down.

   Khan came over here, and immediately lined up with his subordinates, each of them stretched out their hands and waited for Wen Xu to reward them. This is an old rule, not only here, as long as they are used, they will charge their own rewards. Of course, if it is not a “good job” like fruit picking, the monkeys will not be interested in doing it.

Wen Xu naturally understands the rules. In fact, this rule is still cultivated by Wen Xu. Every time he does something, as long as Wen Xu orders him, he will give some rewards. In this way, monkeys will naturally form such a habit for a long time. If you Those guys aren’t very nice if they’re made to work and don’t give anything.

  Take out a few paper bags from his pocket, Wen Xu filled each paper bag full of dates, a bag of dates for a monkey is considered a reward.

   But when it comes to Khan, its paper bag will be bigger than other monkeys. At this time, Khan is quite the head contractor of the monkey group, and it must get paid more than other monkeys. If there were not many, it would not dare to stab Wenxu, but the other monkeys would not want to eat the dates, because Khan would directly grab the dates from other monkeys.

  So the bag that Wen Xu gave to Khan was bigger than the bags of other monkeys, it looked obviously big and filled with a whole bag of dates.

  Khan got the paper bag, stretched his head to look around the paper bag in the hands of several monkeys, and found that it was obviously big, so he took the paper bag in his arms with satisfaction.

   “Look at your virtue!” Seeing Khan’s movements, Wen Xu knocked on Khan’s head dumbfounded.

   Squeak!

   After protesting to Wen Xu, Khan turned his head and took his younger brothers out of the yard.
