Chapter 145
Mengmeng, Niuniu and Xiaoliu, the three little ones worked hard, and their speed was really fast, not inferior to that of adults.
After all, when they saw the tangerines, they only needed to reach out and pull them down, without taking the stems, which was much easier.
In addition, the tangerine trees in Wu Wenxi's tangerine orchard were specially pruned, not very tall, and the tangerine yield was high this year, so many tangerines were about to hang down to the ground.
These short tangerines were a bit troublesome for adults, and they had to bend over to pick them, which was easy to cause backache.
But for the three little ones, it was just right, they could pick them at will, it was very simple.
In less than an hour, the three little ones had already picked a lot, estimated to be more than 200 kilograms.
Fourth Aunt was originally very happy,
There were so many people coming to help today, and Shen Fei would drive a tricycle to help them sell the tangerines later, so they could pick more tangerines today and make more money.
But now, seeing the three little ones pulling at the tangerines, and there were a lot of them next to them,
Aunt Si's happiness was gone all at once.
Just now, Wu Wenxi told Shen Fei that the tangerines would be given to Shen Fei and his friends for free, and that pile was estimated to be more than 200 kilograms, which was dozens of yuan...
Aunt Si was somewhat reluctant to give them up.
"Old man, the three of them have already picked so many, how about I tell them not to pick any more? If they pick too much, they won't be able to finish it."
Aunt Si said somewhat tactfully.
Hearing this, Uncle Si thought of the fifty yuan that Shen Fei was going to give him just now, and what he had just said,
and felt that it seemed a bit stingy to tell the three little ones not to pick any more at this time.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"Forget it, let them pick if they like. It's troublesome for us old men to pick those low areas. If we can't pick them all later, we have to leave them to rot."
After hearing what Uncle Si said, Aunt Si was reluctant, but she didn't say anything else. She turned around and continued to pick oranges.
Wu Wenzheng, who was picking oranges on the other side, noticed the situation of the three little guys.
He walked in front of the three little guys and stopped them:
"Stop picking."
"Mengmeng, you are the elder sister. Why don't you teach your younger sisters how to pick this kind of oranges? Why are you picking them with them?"
"You picked so many, and we can't sell them. We can't eat them all. It's such a waste."
Not knowing the situation too well, Wu Wenzheng could only start with Mengmeng, who was the most familiar to him.
Hearing this, Mengmeng said:
"These are to be picked for Niu Niu's sisters to eat, not to be sold. Grandpa, do you think this one I picked is big? I plan to give it to three-year-old Si Niu to eat."
As she spoke, Mengmeng also showed a large tangerine weighing about half a pound in her hand.
"Three-year-old Si Niu? Who is Si Niu?" Wu Wen Zheng asked in confusion.
At this time, Shen Fei, who had been paying attention to the situation of the three little guys, came over.
He smiled and explained to Wu Wen Zheng:
"Dad, Si Niu is the fourth daughter of Xiao Wu's adoptive father.
Xiao Wu's adoptive father named her Niu Niu, and the four daughters after that were named Er Niu, San Niu, Si Niu, and Wu Niu.
We are going to send some of the tangerines they picked to Xiao Wu's adoptive father's family tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."
After hearing Shen Fei's explanation, Wu Wen Zheng realized that they were going to pick them to send to Xiao Wu's adoptive father's family.
There is nothing to say about this, but do you really need to pick so many?
"Will they pick too much? This stuff doesn't cost much, but if they pick too much, it will be a waste if they can't eat it all." Wu Wen Zheng said.
Shen Fei had just thought of this problem, and he said:
"Dad, my family is going to build a house recently, and I'm going to bring some to the construction site for the workers to eat. It's okay to have more."
"Build a house?!"
Hearing this, Wu Wen Zheng immediately thought of his eldest son-in-law, and he said,
"Qiu Juan and her husband build houses for people, and you..."
"Dad, I've asked my eldest sister and brother-in-law to visit our house, and then I'm going to let them build this house." Shen Fei said with a smile.
Wu Wen Zheng was quite happy to hear this news.
He was happy to see these sons, daughters, and sons-in-law keep in touch.
But he still reminded:
"Just enough to eat is enough. It's a waste if you pick too much and can't eat it all."
"Besides, you just came back from Southeast Asia, where did you get the money to build a house?"
"And your two cars, are they also newly bought?"
At this moment, the old man suddenly remembered the tricycle and motorcycle he saw outside just now.
Shen Fei nodded, "I bought a boat now and took Wenbo and Wentao out to sea to fish. Recently, I have good luck and met"Shen Fei stood beside the old man, picking oranges while telling him about their recent situation. The old man was a little confused. Is this really not a lie? They encountered a school of yellow croaker several times when they went out to sea! This... No wonder they had the money to buy two cars and build a house. The old man had heard about the preciousness of the yellow croaker. The old man digested it for a while before he smiled and said: "Well, you can be regarded as turning bad luck into good luck. This is a good thing." "But I also want to remind you to look at the long-term. Luck is not something that you can get every day. You are buying boats, cars, building houses, and pig farms... You are doing too much. Be careful not to take too big a step and pull your balls. "
Saying these words to Shen Fei also shows that the old man is really no longer angry with Shen Fei, and really treats him as a son-in-law and reminds him.
Otherwise, if it is said to outsiders, there is really no need to pour a basin of cold water on others when they are talking about happy things.
That is not good advice, it is a manifestation of low emotional intelligence.
Shen Fei nodded, "I understand, and I have made plans. Don't worry, I will definitely raise and train these children well."
"Well, seeing you like this now, I am much more relieved. "The old man smiled and nodded.
With the help of everyone, the speed of picking oranges was greatly accelerated.
Everyone picked for about an hour and decided not to pick anymore.
At this moment, there were two large piles of oranges next to the tricycle, and there were also eight full baskets next to it, all of which were oranges. Wu Wenxi estimated that there were three or four thousand kilograms of oranges.
The other three little guys also picked four baskets of oranges to take home and eat, and put them aside.
Shen Fei first put the eight baskets and other oranges on the tricycle, and took Wu Wenxi to the market to find The merchant who bought the citrus asked for the price.
After asking several merchants, he finally decided on the one with the highest price and kept the citrus and Wu Wenxi.
Shen Fei returned to the citrus orchard with dozens of baskets from the boss of the purchasing station and loaded the remaining citrus.
After loading the car, Shen Fei drove the tricycle with the citrus to the purchasing station.
The others walked back to the Wu family's old house to prepare lunch.
It was not too late at this time, only half past ten in the morning.
As everyone walked on the road, Zheng Xier came to the three little guys and asked Wu Mengmeng:
"Mengmeng, have you been to the beach?"
Wu Mengmeng shook her head and said, "No, my mother didn't have time to take me there. There is no sea here with grandpa and grandma."
Hearing this, Xiaoliu said directly, "Our home is by the sea! Why don't you go home with us, Fourth Sister! Let Dad catch big crabs for you to eat!"
"Yeah, let's go home and see the sea together? There are also big crabs..." Hearing this, Wu Mengmeng was a little excited.
