Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 58 Employment of Child Labor
When Zhang Yaohua and the others were about to finish pulling out the peanuts, the sky suddenly changed, and a white mist appeared in the distance.

Experienced people will basically know the plot after seeing this scene.

"It's going to rain, and it seems to be very heavy." Zhang Yaohua reminded.

Naturally, Zhang’s father noticed this and immediately sped up his movements, complaining: “The weather forecast didn’t say it would rain either!”

They have the habit of watching the weather forecast every day.

no way!Ordinary people often have to rely on the weather to make a living.Both farmers and fishermen are more concerned about the weather.

"Don't pull it out! Go back first and do the rest tomorrow." Zhang Yaohua suggested.

He didn't care if he got wet in the rain, he was just worried that his parents wouldn't be able to bear it. After all, they were a bit old.

But neither his father nor his mother agreed.

"There's still so much left, why wait?"

Zhang Yaohua had no choice but to speed up.

However, the rain from the south seems to come very quickly.After a while, the white rain has arrived in their village.This rain probably surprised many villagers who were drying their things, and caught many people off guard.

Zhang Yaohua is depressed, is it raining from the sun?
In the past, adults often said that you should not be exposed to the sun and rain, as it would cause diarrhea and diarrhea. Anyway, it was not good for your health.

Only when we grew up did we realize that it was a lie made by adults to prevent us from getting wet in the rain.When they were young, children felt magical about the sun rain and would run out to experience it.This is why adults lie to us.

"It's too late, let's go!" Lao Zhang said.

Looking at the approaching heavy rain, he didn't want his wife and son to get caught in the rain. There was no need.

Not far from their peanut field, there was an old house owned by someone else, which had been abandoned for a long time. As long as you got there, you could get shelter from the rain.

Mom looked at the three rows of peanuts that had not been pulled out, and felt a little unwilling, but in the end, reason prevailed.People with a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder will never be able to bear it and will unplug it even in the rain.

The three of them quickly ran to someone else's old house and hid under the eaves.

These old houses are all made of mud bricks. No one has lived in them more than ten years ago, and they have been in a state of derelict ever since.Some even have a wall collapsed and weeds growing inside the house, making them dangerous buildings.

When shooting a ghost movie in a place like this, you definitely don’t even need to set it up.

The door of the old house was open, but Zhang Yaohua and the others did not go in. There was an eerie feeling inside.

"Is that correct? It stopped here?" Zhang Yaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

That's right!The rain stopped a few meters in front of them, creating a cloudy sky, meaning it was raining on one side and sunny on the other.

"This is good, our peanuts will not get wet in the rain." Mom said happily.

You know, most of the freshly pulled peanuts are still piled in the ground!They walked in a hurry, and they only carried a small part.

Although the freshly plucked peanuts are not affected much by the rain and have not yet reached the stage of drying, it increases the difficulty of picking them home and makes them much heavier.

Of course, you can also pick peanuts directly from the ground. After all, peanut seedlings are useless now.

If they were put away before, the peanut seedlings would have to be dried and used for fertilization. The villagers would not waste anything of value.

They hid from the rain for a while and found that the rain did not cross the border, so they simply returned to the peanut field and continued to pull out the rest.By the time they finished pulling it out, the rain stopped.

It was a brief shower.

After the rain, the sky cleared and a rainbow appeared in the sky.

Everyone in the village was discussing the rain just now.

There are also parents who are scolding.

For example, Aunt Dongmei squirted both Shui Wang and Ah Hui who were playing games at home.I asked you to help guard the dried fish at home, but ended up getting wet.If the rice is being dried so hard, Shui Wang might have to consider running away with a bucket.

Rice and the like can easily germinate after being exposed to the rain. My mother is not as simple as scolding people, she may even hit them.

After returning home, Zhang Yaohua began to pick peanuts and separate the old and young ones.

Save the young ones for eating tonight, wash the old ones and dry them.

Zhang Yaohua caught a dozen passing children and strong men, asked them to help pick peanuts, and then treated them to ice cream and other snacks.

The cost of hiring child labor has increased a lot. When he was a child, a piece of candy or a handful of melon seeds could last him a whole morning.How is it like now?Don’t let them work without a snack worth more than two bucks.

Another point is that children seem to be lazy at home and active when helping others outside.

"Pick carefully and don't fool the ghosts! Otherwise, go to the canteen and I will fool you too." Zhang Yaohua vaccinated them.

"Uncle Hua, just watch it!"

As long as the money or snacks are available, they will definitely pay attention.

With the help of these little guys, the peanuts were picked quickly. It turns out that there is strength in numbers, and the great man was right.

When it was Zhang Yaohua's turn to fulfill his promise, he led a group of children to the canteen in the village.

Even though the canteen may not be big, it is a small department store and has almost all the small commodities needed in the village.

In the past, the most conspicuous place in the canteen was a row of glass jars and a large ceramic jar.The glass jars contain liquor, egg rolls, melon seeds, rice cakes, etc., all sold in bulk.The big pottery jar holds soy sauce. Everyone brings their own bottles when buying soy sauce.

This is where the word "make soy sauce" comes from.

The same goes for white wine, which is rice wine with high alcohol content.

But now, the layout of the canteen has changed a lot.The most obvious thing is that the row of vats has disappeared. After all, who would bring a bottle when buying wine or soy sauce now?They buy them by the bottle.

Instead, there are two freezers, one for ice cream and other children's food, and the other for beer and drinks.

Various snacks are also placed in front. After all, children are the most important customer group of the canteen!

The owner of the canteen was a little old man. When he saw Zhang Yaohua coming in with a large group of children, he knew he was a big customer and hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Hua, can I eat this?" A little guy said the same thing.

In fact, Zhang Yaohua is older than the fathers of these little guys. To be precise, he should be called uncle, not uncle.But Zhang Yaohua didn't argue with them, just call him uncle!
Zhang Yaohua took a closer look and saw that it was a combination of eating and playing.The shell is a monster, or a car, with edible candies inside.

It can be eaten and used as a toy, so it has naturally won five-star recommendations from many children.

"Yeah! Okay, take it! But you can only pick one."

This thing is not cheap, more than five yuan.

Zhang Yaohua also pointed to the Wahaha milk in the store and said: "Give them each a bottle."

Suddenly, Zhang Yaohua's eyes fell on the homework books on the shelf: "Then, give them two homework books each. Are there only square books?"

"There are also two-line books. How about a square book or a two-line book?" the canteen owner suggested.

"Hmm! Yes."

The little guys were dumbfounded for a few seconds, and then said "considerately" that they had no shortage of homework books and didn't have to spend any money.

　This chapter makes up for what I wrote yesterday, and there are two more chapters to come. I’m about to start saving the manuscript.
