After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 27 The Mid-Autumn Festival
The morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the rooster crowed, it was just dawn, and Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen got up in the dark and started a busy day.

In the vegetable field at the door, the old couple were picking beans with flashlights.

Grandma Shen is a hardworking person. The vegetable field is always full of plants, and there are always fresh vegetables to eat all year round.

The first batch of bitter melon and cucumbers are out of season, and the new crop of long beans, zucchini, peppers and cabbage has also ushered in a bumper harvest.

As holidays approach, vegetable prices will be higher than usual, and they will sell better than usual.

Therefore, Grandma Shen planned to pick some and sell them in the market.

There are more than a dozen chickens raised at home, and a lot of local eggs have been saved, which were originally planned to be sold in the market during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But this year he made a lot of money selling grapes, so Grandpa Shen doesn't plan to sell chickens and eggs anymore.

"Xiaoshu is going to take the college entrance examination next year, so it's a waste of time thinking; Xiaohua has been busy with the vineyard for a while, and she's exhausted. Don't sell the chicken and eggs, save them to make soup for their siblings."

Grandma Shen replied with a smile, "Okay, then I won't sell it, and keep it for our little tree and little flower."

From the corner of the eye, I saw a hole in the old man's cloth shoe, exposing his thumb.

Grandma Shen couldn't help frowning, "I'll go to the street later, and I have to buy you two pairs of rubber shoes. These rag shoes are so ugly to wear, it's a joke for others to see."

Grandpa Shen looked down at his shoes and couldn't help laughing. He got up in a hurry in the morning and didn't notice that he was wearing a pair of worn shoes.

"What are you spending that money on? New shoes are not as comfortable as old ones. You can mend them later, and they will last for a few more years."

The elderly are like this. They live frugally and live frugally, but when it comes to children, they are willing to do anything.

When Shen Qiuqiu got up, the old couple had already picked all the vegetables.

One basket of long beans, one basket of zucchini, half a basket of peppers and two baskets of cabbage.

After a hasty breakfast, Grandpa Shen rode on the family's three-wheeled motorcycle, and drove Grandma Shen and Shen Qiuqiu to the town.

The Mid-Autumn Festival market is bustling and lively, with stalls all over the street, from the street to the end of the street, among which the mooncake stalls are the most.

All kinds of cries and shouts can be heard endlessly.

The streets are bustling with pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder.

Grandma Shen and her party managed to find a stall in the vegetable area.

There are already a lot of people shopping for vegetables during holidays, and as soon as the fresh vegetables are put out, people gather around to pick them.

"The zucchini are quite fresh, how much is a catty?"

"Is this chili spicy?"

"Long beans look good. I just bought some to soak in capers. Can I buy more and get cheaper?"

Grandma Shen hurriedly greeted the guests, and Shen Qiuqiu helped the guests, fetching plastic bags for the guests, weighing them, and collecting money.

When she was a child, she would often sell vegetables with her grandma, and she was very skilled and handy in doing these tasks.

After working for a while, less than half of the dishes were sold, and the number of customers on the stall gradually decreased.

Grandma Shen started chasing Shen Qiuqiu again, "Okay, I'll watch the stall here, you and your grandfather go shopping for vegetables. It will be late later, and all the good vegetables will be bought by others."

Shen Qiuqiu took out his mobile phone and glanced, "Xiaoshu should be here soon, I'll wait for him."

Shen Jiashu's school was only closed this morning, and he came back from the county an hour ago by bus, so he should be there soon.

It was said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and the voice fell here, and Shen Jiashu called.

"Sister, I just got off the bus, where are you?"

Shen Qiuqiu looked at the crowds around him. This place was hard to describe and hard to find. After thinking for a while, he said, "You wait at the stone tablet at the entrance of the farmer's market. I'll come find you."

Grandpa Shen didn't like shopping, and with the help of his grandson, he just didn't have to go.

He took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Shen Qiuqiu, "Your grandma and I will look at the stalls. What you two brothers and sisters want to eat, you can buy it yourself. Buy more meat, don't be reluctant to spend money."

Where would Shen Qiuqiu ask for his money? She only answered and ran into the crowd.

Seeing his granddaughter's back disappearing into the crowd, Grandpa Shen hurriedly shouted again: "Xiaohua, don't forget to go to Laojiekou to buy a few catties of good wine!"

Grandma Shen, who was looking for money for a customer, gave him an annoyed look, "When you buy a pair of shoes, you search and search, but you are willing to drink!"

The aunt who was squatting in front of the vegetable stall to buy vegetables couldn't help laughing, and echoed: "Men are all the same, no matter how old or young, they can't live without a sip of wine."

Grandpa Shen's old face turned red immediately, coughed in embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "Isn't this a holiday..."

……

On the other side, Shen Qiuqiu has already reconciled with Shen Jiashu.

After discussing with each other, the siblings went straight to the meat section.

For the holidays, pork belly is definitely a must. It just so happens that there are fresh pork belly and fat intestines on the meat stand, and Shen Qiuqiu also bought them together.

A batch of fresh live fish had just been brought to the aquatic product stand, and they were jumping around in the pool. Shen Qiuqiu asked the boss to help him pick out a black fish.

Black fish has few bones and is delicious, especially suitable for the elderly.

When passing by the roast duck stall, the delicious roast duck just came out of the oven, and the fragrance was fragrant for ten miles. The siblings couldn't hold back and bought one.

Shen Jiashu had his hands full.

"Sister, it's almost done. There are only four of us in our family, how can we eat so much?"

Shen Qiuqiu is truly big-eyed and small-bellied. When he came to the vegetable market, he wanted to eat everything he saw. He bought a lot of them, but he couldn't eat that much.

Everyone in the family knew about her problem, but she herself didn't admit it, and said stubbornly: "It's a rare holiday today. If you can't finish eating, put it in the refrigerator and eat slowly."

When I went to Yunchuan to deliver goods, I had already bought mooncakes, snacks and drinks, and I also bought a box of hairy crabs by the way.

Therefore, the meat dishes for the festival are enough.

As for vegetables, I basically have them in my own vegetable field, so I don’t need to spend money to buy them.

Shen Qiuqiu suddenly remembered his grandfather's entrustment, "By the way, grandpa asked me to make him a few catties of wine, do you want to go?"

Go, grandma will be unhappy; don't go, grandpa will be unhappy.

So let's leave this troublesome problem to my brother.

We all know that drinking is bad for your health, especially high alcohol.

Shen Jiashu subconsciously shook his head, "Don't go, grandma made some wine before, the alcohol content is low. If grandpa wants to drink, let's drink that with him."

Shen Qiuqiu, who successfully dumped the blame, nodded with a smile, "Okay."

When the two returned to the vegetable stall, there were only two handfuls of long beans and a few zucchini left.

Grandpa Shen looked at the things they bought, and asked Shen Qiuqiu in a low voice, "Xiao Hua, where's my wine?"

Shen Qiuqiu pointed at Shen Jiashu very naturally, "Xiaoshu said, drinking alcohol hurts your health, so you are not allowed to buy it."

Grandpa Shen turned his head to look at his eldest grandson whom he loved all along, his eyes were very complicated, as if he was saying: Grandpa usually treats you so well, yet you don't even want to buy me a sip of wine?

Shen Jiashu, the underdog brother: "?!"
