Chapter 66
"Erya, be careful not to fall." Lan Tao carried the flowers and wanted to run, but the cloth bag containing the flowers was too big and he couldn't run fast, so he had to take big strides forward.

Li Rui followed closely with a cloth bag.

Lan Jia saw her good friend standing there too. "Did you pick chrysanthemums to sell today?"

"That's right! I believe Erya and your family won't lie, you really want to collect flowers, right?" Chrysanthemum said angrily, snorted at one of the children, and followed Lan Jia into the room. That child, His face turned red all of a sudden, and he was embarrassed to go to Lan Jia's house.

"Come in! It's the first time our family collects flowers. Some people don't believe it. It's understandable." Lan Jia said to the child with a smile, seeing him walk in timidly.

Lan Tao and Li Rui walked home quickly.

"Brother, let's weigh flowers for them now." Lan Jia looked at the other children who couldn't wait.

"Oops, Erya, we don't have a scale at home, so you guys can wait a little while? Let's borrow the scale. Then we can weigh the flowers for you, and then I will give you the money." Lan Tao said solemnly .

"Little Pangdun, come with me to Lizheng's home to borrow the scale. Li Rui, you and Lan Jia are at our house. If you have something to do, you must wait for me to come back before leaving." Lan Tao was worried that Lan Jia was alone at home, and frowned. Seeing Li Rui, seeing Li Rui nodding, he went to Lizheng's house to borrow the scale with Xiao Pangdun at ease.

"Brother Li Rui, let's take a look at the flowers they picked." Lan Jia felt that they might not have put the flowers in the cloth bag as required for the first time they picked the flowers.

"Okay! Anyway, Lan Tao went to borrow the scale, and he will come back after a while." Li Rui nodded immediately, believing that Lan Jia was right.

"Put the flowers you picked next to you, so as not to get confused when the time comes." Li Rui raised his head and glanced at everyone indifferently. Hearing Li Rui's words, the yard became quiet all of a sudden, even if a needle fell On the ground, everyone can hear it, and it is more authoritative than some adults at home.

"Chrysanthemum is very good at picking ground flowers. Every flower you pick is intact. Come and take a look. I don't just say that chrysanthemum is my good friend because her flowers are good. The quality of flowers collected by our family is high. Everyone who comes to sell flowers will be treated equally without any discrimination." Lan Jia didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for herself, so a few courageous children walked by to watch the flowers picked by the orchids and chrysanthemums. , really like Lan Jia said.

Among the 10 children, 4 of them did not pick the flowers that met the standard, and the flowers picked by another child were so rotten that there was no way to sell them.

"Brother Li Rui, go to the kitchen and get half a steamed bun for this kid, we can't accept his flowers." Lan Jia whispered to Li Rui.

"Brother, there is a dustpan at our house. Go and get it and separate the honeysuckle that has not bloomed, the honeysuckle that has bloomed, and the chrysanthemums." Lan Jia said to him patiently. Hurrying to get the dustpan, Lan Jia poured out all the flowers, and Lan Jia saw several children who came over to help. It seems that this boy is very popular.

"Our family harvests flowers. You see, this is how we pick them." Lan Jia took a flower, gently picked it off with her thumb and index finger, and showed it to the kid. He nodded embarrassedly.

There was also a child who picked flowers that didn't meet the requirements. He was just about to walk over and saw why the person had disappeared. He couldn't bear the blow, so he carried the flowers and went home. Lan Jia shrugged.Why is there an extra person there to separate the different flowers? After a closer look, it turned out to be the person I was going to talk about just now, but disappeared.

Li Rui walked out of the kitchen, holding half a bun in his hand, and walked to Lan Jia's side. "Erya, I've already brought the steamed buns." Li Rui raised his hand for Lan Jia to take a look at, and Lan Jia nodded with a smile.

Lan Jia walked up to the last kid. "Your flowers today are too rotten. We can't take them. I'm sorry. Here's half a steamed bun. I'll treat you to it today." Although the boy was a little embarrassed, he still took the steamed bun.

Lan Jia went on to say: "I believe that the flowers you pick next time will be the same as other children." Lan Jia smiled and said to him, let him accept it from the heart, and don't want to feel resentful towards his family because of this trivial matter , Turning to the other children: "Every one of us will do wrong things, don't laugh at others!" Seeing the others, they all nodded.

"I want to eat steamed buns. When the time comes, I will weigh the flowers. Can I replace them with steamed buns?" A boy boldly said.

"Of course, but our family only has 9 steamed buns, one steamed bun, I believe you all know that, right?" Lan Jia never thought that half a steamed bun would cause so many troubles. Fortunately, our family has eaten steamed buns today , Otherwise, I will be so depressed!

"Erya, you won't be able to eat steamed buns tonight, but you only ate one bun today, and I saw three more buns." Li Rui said to Lan Jia mysteriously.

"It's possible that the eldest sister and mother have nothing to eat. We can't let the other children know that they will eat buns at that time. Let's go find them there." Lan Jia whispered to Li Rui.

"Erya, we're back." Lan Tao said loudly outside, Li Rui ran out when he heard it, took the scale from Lan Tao's hand, and walked in with Lan Tao.

"Brother, let's start weighing!" Lan Jia felt that it was not good to keep others waiting.

"Erya, wait a minute, we are all children, we can't carry a bag of flowers in one hand." Li Rui frowned and looked at Lan Jia.

"We can use a shoulder pole to carry it." Lan Tao's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought that if he couldn't carry it, his shoulders must have strength!What's more, a bag of flowers doesn't weigh much.

"Look for a longer rope and tie it from the middle of the cloth bag to weigh it. Tie the mouth of the cloth bag so that it can be weighed." Li Rui thought about it and said, thinking that this method is the most feasible.

Lan Tao sees one cloth bag after another, and if someone sells the flowers, he will definitely take the cloth bag away. "Let's find some dustpans to put flowers in."

Lan Tao went into the kitchen to look for ropes, Li Rui went to carry the dustpan, and the other older children also carried the dustpan, and put it in the middle of the yard. After carrying three dustpans, they stopped carrying the dustpan.

"Brother Li Rui, go carry another dustpan and put it here. Anyone who weighs the flowers will put them in this dustpan, and see if they are unqualified, and then pour them into another dustpan." Lan Jia was afraid that some people would The flowers are fine, but the flowers under the cloth bag are unsightly, and if they fall together, it will be troublesome if they don't admit it.

"Okay!" Li Rui agreed, turned around and went to carry the dustpan again.

When everything is ready, we are going to start weighing flowers.

"But who of us can recognize the scale? I definitely can't!" Lan Jia blinked, shrugged and said playfully.
