Alpine Orchard

Chapter 127
It's almost eleven o'clock.

Wang Yue, Ye Ran and Lin Xiaomian went back to prepare lunch.

Ye Mo and the others continued to sort the fruits, bag them, put them in baskets... and transport them.

"When will you come to weigh the fruit?" Ye Mo looked at Tang Xun and asked.

"Tomorrow." Tang Xun said, "I don't know if we can finish picking the pomegranates here in one day."

"It should be fine. It only looks like four to fifty thousand catties..."

When they were in their hometown, Ye Mo and his family consisted of second uncles, younger uncles... almost ten people, and they could pick tens of thousands of catties of mangoes in a day.Back then, it was much more troublesome than here.

The pomegranates were picked very quickly. From the looks of it, it was estimated that forty or fifty acres had already been picked.It is the sorting, bagging and transportation, which cannot keep up.

Ye Mo and the others were not in a hurry to transport, and put the pomegranates in the basket first.

11: 30.

Papa Ye and the others stopped picking, sat in the shade and smoked a cigarette, and then came over to help sort and transport...

After twelve o'clock, Wang Yue rode over and shouted, "It's time to eat."

"Wait a little longer." Papa Ye said.

"how much longer."

"half an hour."

"Why don't you go back and have dinner, and come back in the afternoon."

"Don't worry." Papa Ye said.

The second uncle and the third uncle also said: "Eat after finishing."

There are not many pomegranates left without decoration.

Ye Mo and the others moved the fruit boxes to the car, and sent them to the warehouse one by one.Waiting for Dad and the others to finish their work, everyone will transport together... Soon, the pomegranates picked will be finished.

It's noon, the sun is shining, and the temperature is rising rapidly.

One by one came out of the orchard, all sweating...

"The pomegranates here can be picked in one afternoon." The third uncle took a sip of the salted tea from Chen Chen and said.

"I can't finish picking them today, but I can pick them tomorrow, don't worry." Father Tang took out a cigarette and handed one to everyone.

"Our mangoes are going to be picked too." Papa Ye said, "The recent days of high temperature mean that the mangoes have to be picked in advance, and we can't delay."

"It's really not easy to get these fruits." Wang Yue's father wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The main reason is that the output is not high. If the output is high, please invite someone to pick it..." Father Ye smiled and said, "Go back to eat, take a nap after eating, and start work early in the afternoon."

"Sister and sister, what delicious food did you get for lunch?" Ye Mo looked at Wang Yue and asked with a smile.

"Braised pork, cold meat, braised tofu, stewed pig's trotters, roasted pork ribs... there are several hard dishes." Wang Yue said.

Mother Ye glanced at Ye Mo: "What's the matter, you haven't eaten meat these days?"

"Eat meat, eat it every day." Ye Mo chuckled.

With a rippling smile on Ye Mo's face, Lin Xiaomian looked over with a blushing face, and spat at him.

When they arrived at Tang Xun's house, Ye Mo and the others washed their hands outside and went into the living room.

"Have you picked half of it this morning?" Ye Ran asked.

"It should be half." Tang Xun said.

Ye Mo sat next to Lin Xiaomian, opened a bottle of beer, and poured some for Xiaomian: "Good guy, he still has elbows."

"I'm tired today, I'll have a good meal." Wang Yue said with a smile.

"Where are the two little girls?"

"They have eaten and slept in the room. The elder sister takes care of the younger sister..."

"It's good to have two daughters." Ye Mo drank a bowl of wine, and put a large elbow into the rice bowl.

"Are you envious?" The second uncle sat at the next table, turned to look at Ye Mo, and said with a smile.

"A little bit."

"Hurry up and eat...you're the only one who talks a lot." Mama Ye gave him a glare.

Everyone smiled and poured beer into the bowl: "Thank you for your hard work today, let's go first."

"let's go."

Knuckles, trotters, these are particularly hard dishes.

After doing heavy work, this is really good...it's fat but not greasy, and it's very enjoyable to eat.

It's past one o'clock after eating.

The sun is too big now...

"We'll come back at three o'clock in the afternoon. Before it gets dark, you should be able to finish picking the pomegranates." Papa Ye said.

"Hey, okay..." Father Tang and Father Wang Yue sent them to the gate, and after watching everyone leave, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Picking fruit is really tiring." Father Tang said.

"I don't feel tired doing anything these days." Wang Yue's father said, "If you're tired, you'll only be tired for a few months. Grit your teeth and persevere and you'll pass."

"I'm just expressing my feelings..."

"Dad, can you go upstairs to rest?"

"Let's go back to our own house." Father Tang said, "You guys also have a rest, and you have to do it again in the afternoon."

……

Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian rode their bikes back to Gaoshanping, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.

"Aren't you tired?" Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian.

"I've been sitting and sorting pomegranates all morning, and I'm not tired."

"Go to sleep..." Ye Mo set the alarm clock for 2:45 minutes. After a busy morning, Ye Mo is a little tired, and his waist is a little sore...

Compared with threshing millet, this hard work is nothing.

Ye Mo fell asleep after lying down for a while, and the alarm clock hadn't rung when he woke up.

I slept for about an hour.

Ye Mo was about to get up, and Lin Xiaomian also woke up: "Is it time?"

"Not yet. 02:30... If you feel tired, you can rest at home, and I can go there by myself." Ye Mo said.

"I'm not tired." Lin Xiaomian pouted and said.

"Don't force yourself to work outside. If you are tired, take a rest."

"I know……"

Coming here by bike, Tang Xun and his family were already in the orchard.

Chen Chen and Father Chen also came over.Chen Ma is helping to load pomegranates at Chen Shan...

In the afternoon, Ye Mo, Tang Xun, and Chen Chen also went to pick pomegranates, hanging a basket on their chests, picking pomegranates into the box...

In the morning, it is estimated that more than [-] acres have been picked.

In the afternoon, the firepower was fully turned on, and after two breaks in the middle, I sat down and smoked two cigarettes... I was busy until seven o'clock in the evening before picking all the pomegranates.Then there is sorting, transportation...

In the end, all the pomegranates were loaded into the warehouse with a flashlight.

Tang Xun and his family had never done this kind of work before, and they couldn't keep up in terms of speed or physical strength.Otherwise, the 130 acres of pomegranates here can be hired early.

16...Chen Chen's mother also came to help after four o'clock in the afternoon.

Forty to fifty thousand catties of pomegranates, this amount is not a lot, equal to three thousand catties per person.

At the end of the day, everyone was very tired, including Ye Mo.

They have an off-road transport vehicle that can be used in the orchard, and the vehicle can enter any part of the orchard. In addition, the pomegranate trees here are not high... In this way, a dozen of them can pick 130 acres of pomegranates weighing [-] to [-] jin in one day .

The 130-acre orchard is too large.

There are not many pomegranates on each tree, and some trees don't even bear fruit at all...

It's been a hard day.

After work was over, everyone relaxed and came to Tang Xun's house talking and laughing...

For this meal in the evening, I drank heavily, ate large pieces of meat, and chatted about Longmenzhen. I ate after nine o'clock until after 10:30, and then the show ended.
