Chapter 32 She Also Has a Girlish Heart
This vine is neither big nor small.
All the men, women and children who were idle in a village were dispatched, seventy or eighty people, large and small, and they searched the whole grape grove clean in one afternoon.
When they came out of Liu's house with the empty basket on their backs, everyone's faces were full of smiles.
I picked a lot, and I earned forty or fifty cents in one afternoon.
Those who picked less, also had more than 20 catties, and they earned more than ten cents in half a day to save money.
The children also got five or six more pocket money.
The Liu family's yard was full of piles, and there was almost no place to stand, and the empty room that was cleaned out was full of grapes.
Mr. Liu was worried again, "So much, it's more than 2,000 catties in total! The weather is hot, and it will go bad if you leave it for a long time. You have to brew it all in time. Is there enough time?"
It was the first time to do these kung fu, the family was inexperienced and looked at each other blankly.
If it's broken, it's not worth it, it's all paid for.
"Grandpa, don't worry, it can be finished! It just takes a little more work." Liu Yusheng comforted, more than two thousand catties of grapes, which is quite large, but it is not a problem for her to brew them all.
It's just more troublesome to wash and dry, and you have to work hard for your family.
"Don't be afraid of hard work, as long as we don't lose money, we can feel at ease!"
"It's definitely not a loss! Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, we have to clean the grapes first, then dry the water, and then we can brew. But there are not enough big tanks at home." With so many grapes, five large vats are not enough.
"It's not easy to get a big tank, I'll just go to the village to borrow a few water tanks and come back!" Liu Dalin took the initiative to accept the task.
"Is it necessary to use a bamboo sieve to dry grapes? I'll borrow this!" Du Juan also took on the task.
"Okay, let's have dinner first, wash the grapes after eating, and then listen to what you want to brew!" Mr. Liu had confidence in his granddaughter.
And Liu Yusheng's worries about washing and drying were solved perfectly after dinner.
The family was preparing to carry the grapes to the river, and people came from the village, all of them were neighbors and villagers who had made good friends.
"Brother Liu, Da Liu, you see that your yard is full of grapes, don't you have enough winemakers? Let's help!"
"Just say what you want to do, we peasants have nothing else, just enough strength to do it!"
Li Da also drove over the ox cart from his family and smiled, "I guess these grapes have to be washed for winemaking. I'll help carry them and save you time."
Even A Xiu Niang rushed over with A Xiu, "I'm not good at farming, I can still help with washing and drying, this time, please don't be polite to me, I'll be your help in the courtyard wall of my house. I didn't even invite you to a meal."
Liu Yusheng stood beside his grandparents, looking at these simple and honest faces, his little face was full of smiles.
In the evening, the Liu family courtyard was rarely lit with several lights, and the dim yellow lights reflected the scene in the courtyard, revealing a warm feeling.
Many people are quick to clean up more than 2,000 kilograms of grapes, but it didn't take much effort. The next step is to put up a wooden frame, put on a bamboo sieve, and spread the grapes on the top to dry the water.
Liu Yusheng was like a little bee all night, shuttling among the adults, bringing them cups of water filled with spiritual springs.
Axiu followed behind her, carrying her a kettle and a basket with cups.
"Nah, give Uncle another glass of water! Your family's water is amazing. It feels different when you drink it, it's sweet!"
"Hey! Don't say it's true, drink a cup and feel refreshed all over!"
"Brother Liu, when I come back from work in the future, I'll beat your house specifically, come and drink a glass of water before going home!"
"If we want to do this, Liu Da can't win just by carrying water every day, hahaha!"
The old man Liu laughed and scolded, "It's all water from the well in the village, how are you still curious about it? Okay, if you want to drink it, come here! It's a big deal, let Liu Daliu Er pick up a few more buckets every day!"
"That's what you said, so we're welcome!"
"See what you can do!"
At night, the laughter in the yard spread far and far.
Liu Yusheng pursed his lips and smiled sweetly. He took A Xiu back to the kitchen, poured a cup from a clean bamboo cup and handed it to him, "Brother A Xiu, you drink it too. Follow me all night, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Axiu shook his head, took the cup and took a sip.
Immediately his eyes lit up.
The entrance is cool and sweet. After drinking it, I can feel a very light warmth filling my chest and abdomen. It is just like what the adults said. I feel refreshed all over my body, and the tiredness from the previous work has disappeared. .
Glancing at Liu Yusheng, then looking at the bamboo cup in his hand, Axiu raised his head and drank the water in one go, his hair was black, and the dark light flickered.
The warmth in his body is even stronger. He practices martial arts, and his five senses are much sharper than ordinary people. His meridians, muscles and bones are being nourished by that warm current at this time!
"Shengsheng..." He called her.
"What's the matter, brother Axiu? Is the water delicious? Do you want it? I'll pour you another glass!" The little baby looked up at him, smiling sweetly, her eyes were clean and clear, only at this age. of innocence.
Suddenly he didn't want to ask anything.
"It's delicious, I want another drink."
"Okay!" Liu Yusheng had no doubts about him, "Brother Axiu, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, my brother and the others will take a break. After tomorrow's work is over, let's go up the mountain to dig out the bird's nest together the next afternoon, okay? Oh! You must have never eaten it before!"
"Okay." A Xiu smiled, "Go up the tree and dig out the bird's nest, I will."
He has learned it specially.
The heat in the yard continued until midnight.
When leaving, no one showed dissatisfaction, and no one cried tired.
They sent people out of the door one by one. Because Axiu Niang and the two lived outside the village, it was too late. Mrs. Liu took the lead and kept them. Fortunately, there were vacant rooms in the house, and bedding and bedding were also clean.
After a busy night, even though she was only helping to deliver water, Liu Yusheng couldn't stand it with her small body.
Ah Xiu walked to the door, leaned against the door frame, fixedly looking at the little man sleeping soundly on the bed, the corner of his mouth climbed into a very shallow smile.
It wasn't until he heard the movement that he walked away.
He wasn't used to unfamiliar surroundings, but since Nannan was here, the strangeness seemed insignificant.
The next morning, Liu Yusheng was awakened by the movement in the yard. With a mess of hair, he walked out of the room in a daze, and saw the figure guarding the door at a glance.
startled her.
"Brother Axiu?"
"Shengsheng." Axiu stepped forward and took Liu Yusheng's hand, "I'll take you to wash."
"Brother Axiu, I haven't combed my hair yet!" Although she is small, she also wants to look good!
She has a girly heart too! Now that the sloppy appearance is seen by others, the taste is simply indescribable!
