Reborn I just want to concentrate on studying

Time gradually passed the time for lunch, and the few clouds in the sky were a bit dull, and the scorching sun penetrated through the light white, as if it was needle-like, piercing people's eyes.

They came out in a hurry, and everyone hadn't eaten lunch yet. Fortunately, Cai Naizi had bread and some snacks in her backpack, and shared food with everyone on the way, so she was still very hungry.

It didn't take long. In less than [-] minutes, we arrived at the pepper garden of the little girl Yang Juan's house.

Looking at the oily pepper garden, Yi Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He recalled that when he was just reborn, it was a similar scene. He helped pick peppers at his second uncle's house...

At this moment, both Jiang Lili and Cai Naizi became a little excited.

"The prickly ash tree looks like this?"

"It doesn't look very tall..."

"Is it hard to pick this?"

Yi Yang took a sun visor from his bag, walked behind Jiang Lili, and put it on her head.

"Uh?"

When Jiang Lili turned his head, Yi Yang continued to press it a little dotingly, and said, "Don't be brave later, don't take off your hat, it's easy to get sunburned."

Jiang Lili straightened his hat and said, "I'm not here to enjoy myself."

Cai Naizi pretended to rub her arms, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Be careful! It's such a hot day, you can see that goose bumps are falling off my hands."

Jiang Lili responded to her with a smile: "Then you also find a boyfriend."

"cut……"

Seeing Yi Yang's operation, Lu Hao hesitated for a moment, took off his peaked cap, and walked over...

Cai Naizi seemed to notice it, she turned her head suddenly, and said to Lu Hao, "Stop coming, I don't want your hat."

"okay!"

Lu Hao put on the hat very simply, and walked away in a hurry.

Yi Yang and Jiang Lili burst out laughing.

At this time, three people were busy in the pepper field. Two old people, one middle-aged man, showed puzzled expressions when they saw so many people coming. They squinted their eyes against the scorching sun and looked at them. His mother went up to meet him and said something beside him, then the man frowned, looked at the few people who came over, finally sighed, waved his hands, and went back to work.

Yang Juan's mother walked up to several people and said, "I discussed it with my man, and he said that although you came here for Yang Juan's business, you can't let you do this job for nothing. I'll give you the price, on our side... it's 5 yuan per basket." While speaking, she showed a perplexed yet determined expression.

Zhou Huazhang rushed forward and said, "Mother Yang, although I am not very polite, do you think we are here for money? As long as you are willing to let Yang Juan finish this last week of class with peace of mind, we think it is worth it." Already!"

When Yang Juan's mother heard this, she lowered her head slightly and said without answering, "Go and pick the trees over there." She pointed to the tree where the sun was shining.

Afterwards, Yang Juan's mother briefly taught them how to pick peppercorns, and the group of people who came over started to work happily without any fuss.

Yi Yang soon got into the working state. He worked very carefully, grasping the branches with one hand, while separating the sharp thorns with the other hand, grabbing pinches of Chinese prickly ash. This prickly ash grows extremely tough, It is not so easy to pull. It is said to be picking peppers, but it is actually pinching and pulling.

Spikes are everywhere, hidden among the branches of the tree. When pinching and pulling, both hands must cooperate, and there is very little space to use. Although Yang Juan’s mother has a few scissors, but in the operation Sometimes you will find that using scissors is not as convenient as using your hands.

The scissors are too big, and it is not easy to avoid some sharp thorns when you reach out to operate among the branches of the pepper tree.

The prickly ash on the outside of the branch is easy to handle, but it is more difficult to handle the pepper on the inside. When pulling, the branch has to be pulled apart. Sometimes it is not cut off at once, or the force is stronger, and the hand is thrown out, or the branch is stretched due to elasticity. If you hit it, the spikes on it will pierce your hand mercilessly.

In pursuit of efficiency, Yi Yang has already been stabbed several times. The oil on the prickly ash is sticky and all over his hands, seeping into the spot where he was stabbed. It is itchy and painful. He is doing it without saying a word. , Sweat left my forehead and got into my eyes, but I didn't dare to wipe it off with my hands... my hands were full of pepper oil.

And Yi Yang heard other people's voices soon after.

"Ah! I got stabbed again!"

"It hurts……"

"This is really difficult..."

"Why does this pepper have so much oil!"

Yi Yang glanced over there, no surprises, it was the sister duo of Jiang Lili and Cai Naizi, but I didn't expect them to get much, mainly rich girls, who occasionally come to experience the hardships of the people It's also pretty good.

Jiang Lili and Cai Naizi picked the same tree. The efficiency of the two of them was extremely low, but they had already boasted aggressively just now. Of course, they couldn't admit their cowardice at this time. They could only endure it and pick it bit by bit. , I picked it very carefully. Fortunately, I didn’t wear makeup when I came here today, so I don’t have to worry about sweating the makeup.

For them, after all, experience is the main thing, and their mentality is different from that of real farmers who work hard for their livelihood. Although it is a bit painful, it is not as difficult as imagined when they are accompanied by someone. After picking for a while, they actually looked at each other The other party laughed.

"Does it compare?"

"No comparison, no comparison, let's try to finish picking this tree together..."

The tree that Lu Hao picked was next to the yellow jersey. Now he started to work, and realized that picking peppercorns was not as easy as he imagined, especially with his proud physical strength. It's not very useful. Fortunately, as a sports student, it's not that I haven't endured hardships, and I can still persevere. It's just that at this time, I feel a little bit sorry for Sister Cai over there... I glanced over there, but I saw it. Huang Shanshan was suddenly taken aback.

I saw that there was already half a basket in Huang Shanshan's basket.

She was staring intently at the movements of her hands, the sweat was still dripping on her forehead, refracting the sunlight into a beautiful golden color.

Lu Hao couldn't help saying: "Shanshan, you are very skilled!"

Huang Shanshan froze for a moment, tilted his head and smiled: "I used to do this job when I was young."

Seeing this, Lu Hao had an inexplicable desire to win, and his movements quickened a bit, and he was stabbed firmly by a sharp thorn, and immediately screamed.

Huang Shanshan was stunned, "Are you okay?"

At this time, many people glanced at him, Lu Hao couldn't help but shook his head: "It's okay..." Then he looked down at his hand, and saw that his thumb was already bleeding, and he sighed slightly. What if one's own blood gets on someone else's peppercorns?Had to slow down the pace.

Huang Shanshan laughed at the side and said, "I'll help you after I finish picking this tree."

Lu Hao could only laugh dryly.

Huang Shanshan's movements became more agile.

Of course, I will not look down on or laugh at Lu Hao because of this. Their family conditions are excellent, and it is very admirable to be able to put down their bodies to do this kind of thing. Whether they are good or bad is just a matter of proficiency, and Attitude at home...

He just glanced at Yi Yang secretly, but Huang Shanshan showed a puzzled look.

Yi Yang didn't say a word, and he did it very skillfully. The pepper tree was very short and there was no shade to hide from. The sun just shot straight on his face, casting a golden luster on his face.

Under his feet is a basket of peppercorns that is almost full.

Huang Shanshan was taken aback for a moment, and looked down at her own basket, and Yi Yang's basket contained a little half more than hers, and her mood suddenly became weird.

what happened……

In her vision, Yi Yang should be similar to Lu Hao. At the beginning, she pretended that I could do it and I understood it, but when she started doing it, she immediately discovered that she was actually proud of something. In this kind of occasion, it is actually useless. I did it a little clumsily, and I was screamed... Of course, Yi Yang may not be able to scream, after all, it does not match his personality, so he can only hold on stubbornly. ...

However, at this time, it was clear that Yi Yang was more skilled than he looked!

When she was distracted, she didn't pay attention to the movement of her hand, and a very long thorn pricked her finger fiercely, causing her to scream in pain.
Yi Yang happened to pick a basket full at this time, and was about to pick it up, so he walked to the side of Huang Shanshan and said, "Are you okay?"

Huang Shanshan showed an embarrassed expression: "It's all right..."

Yi Yang smiled: "I'll come over to help you after I finish picking."

Hearing these familiar words, Huang Shanshan's expression was complicated for a moment, but when he turned to look at Lu Hao, he couldn't help laughing.

After Yi Yang left, Huang Shanshan sighed quietly.

Yi Yang is extremely focused when doing things, and after he is immersed in it, he won't pay attention to the outside world. Except for him, everyone else basically picks peppers and chats at the same time.

Liu Jia looked left and right, saw Cai Naizi and Jiang Lili together, and approached him, "Is this your first time picking pepper?"

"Yes." Cai Naizi gave Liu Jia a strange look.

Liu Jia began to casually talk about some things around this area, about things like water, soil and people's conditions. It's not for nothing to stay here, and he is quite familiar with Banshan Township.

Cai Naizi wiped her sweat with the back of her hand and said, "Ms. Liu, have you finished picking?"

Liu Jia was taken aback for a moment, then laughed dryly: "Oh, this...because I hurt my wrist a few days ago..."

"Oh, then Teacher Liu is really working hard."

"Haha, it's nothing...it's nothing. When I was helping my father in the factory, I often twisted my wrist and it hurt."

Jiang Lili didn't say a word and concentrated on picking peppers.

Compared to Jiang Lili, Cai Naizi has much more experience in dealing with boys. For people like Liu Jia, she can tell what the other person is thinking at a glance.

Of course, she will not belittle others just because they strike up a conversation. In a sense, this is a kind of self-confidence, and it is understandable to vaguely reveal that the family conditions are superior. This in itself is the capital to attract the opposite sex. Unfortunately, she never Other than that, Liu Jia couldn't see any bright spots, he looked ordinary, he couldn't chat, and he didn't seem to have a good relationship with his colleagues... So I instinctively wanted to stay away from him.

Besides, there is Lu Hao by his side, he is a serious and rich second generation!
Cai Naizi seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and shouted to Lu Hao over there: "Lu Hao, come here!"

Liu Jia was slightly taken aback. He just saw that there was no one around the two girls. With one more person, some things would be difficult to say.

When Lu Hao heard the call, he immediately put down his basket and ran over.

"What's the matter, Miss Cai?"

Cai Naizi smiled, and suddenly said, "I suddenly thought of an idea."

"What idea?"

Cai Naizi said: "Didn't you say that your sister wants to open a hot pot restaurant?"

Lu Hao nodded: "My dad wants my sister to know the difficulty of starting a business. He threw a few million to her to toss...but he is still hesitating whether to be a hot pot restaurant or a Chinese restaurant."

After hearing this, Liu Jia's expression changed slightly.

millions?Toss casually?

Cai Naizi said: "Whether you want to open a hot pot restaurant or Chinese food, you need peppercorns, right? I think you can recommend it to your sister and buy all the peppercorns here!"

Lu Hao thought for a while, "Is this... not impossible, but with the cost of shipping, it may not be cheaper than buying from a dealer, let me try."

Cai Naizi seemed to have remembered something at this time, and looked at Liu Jia next to her: "By the way, Teacher Liu, what did you just say?"

Liu Jia's expression was a little unnatural, "I... Hey, I also forgot what I wanted to say just now, what did I want to say? Oh, yes, I want to say, it's really not easy for the children here..."

Lu Hao nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes...Speaking of which, Yi Yang is also very good. I watched around just now, and I didn't expect him to be so proficient at picking peppercorns."

Cai Naizi said with a smile: "After all, they are people who can invest tens of millions of dollars in freshmen in our school. Such people are generally very persevering!"

Liu Jia's expression changed again.

Lu Haoda smiled meaningfully, "Yes, yes, I want to learn more from Yi Yang."

Cai Naizi was stunned for a moment, then hummed softly.

Jiang Lili heard that there was something in the two people's words, coughed a few times, did not start a conversation, and went to see Liu Jia, and saw that he was in a daze, so he asked: "Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Jia laughed twice: "Oh... that, it's nothing, it's nothing..."

Everyone was busy until the sun almost set in the afternoon, and finally completed the task.

Putting more than a dozen baskets full of peppercorns in front of Yang Juan's parents, Zhou Huazhang was a little proud and said, "Now you have nothing to say, right?"

Looking at the pepper in front of him, Yang Juan's father had a complicated expression and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhou Huazhang frowned, "What's wrong?"

Yang Juan's mother sighed and said, "Teacher Zhou, actually...well, let me tell you the truth, we don't want our children to take the exam."

Zhou Huazhang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shouting: "Why!"

Yang Juan's mother lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Yang Juan's father took a deep breath and said, "Let me tell the story, Mr. Zhou, you are a good teacher, including everyone! But you don't know the situation of our family, we...we really have no money ..."

Zhou Huazhang suddenly became excited and said, "Didn't you say that if she can pass the exam in the town, the tuition and miscellaneous fees will be waived!"

Yang Juan's father raised his head: "But... there is still living expenses, isn't it?"

Yang Juan's mother also shed tears: "And... that's just junior high school, and there's high school and university after that, we... can't afford it."

Zhou Huazhang: "The current national policy is very good, as long as the grades are good..."

"But the grades are not good?" Yang Juan's father shook his head: "Mr. Zhou, we actually know that even if my child's grades are considered good in Banshan Township, what can he do when he arrives in the town or the county? We The family... just planted a little land, and the prickly ash can be sold for only a few thousand yuan, and she also has a younger brother... who will marry a wife in the future..."

After hearing these words, Zhou Huazhang opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The wind in the pepper garden was rippling, and there was a bird song in the distance.

At this moment, Jiang Lili said, "How about this, as long as my little sister can pass the exam, I will subsidize her to go to school. I will subsidize her to whatever stage she goes to."

Everyone turned their attention to Jiang Lili.

Yi Yang stood beside her and squeezed her hand.

Jiang Lili looked at Yi Yang and smiled.

The sun was about to set, and half of the setting sun shone on her face, which looked extremely warm.
