Chapter 140 Chestnut
Seeing that the two of them seemed unhappy, Su Jinli heard Zhou Xing calling her. She responded with a high voice, and said to the two sisters, "Sister Wu Jiu, Sister Wu Ten, my cousin is calling me, I'm going first."

Then, without waiting for the two of them to react, they quickly ran back.

As soon as he ran to the door of the house, he saw Fu Haoran standing in the yard. Su Jinli happily ran over and asked, "Brother Haoran, why are you here?"

Fu Haoran put his hands behind his back and looked very proud, "Of course I'm bored at home, so I came to play with you."

Su Jinli was surprised, "Brother Haoran, don't you even need to study?" As far as she knew, many families like Fu Haoran's grade and rich family had invited their husbands early to study with him.

Even if you don't invite a teacher, you will send your child to school to study.

Fu Haoran said, "I don't like reading, besides, I just need to know all the characters in the book, why do you still study, it's better to have fun every day."

Su Jinli just looked at him, like looking at a monster.

After all, these days, many people want to study but can't afford it, just like Zhou Hu and Huan Zhou Mu, they all want to study but can't afford it.

Brother Haoran obviously can study, but he doesn't go, he thinks it's better to have fun.

At this moment, Su Jinli forgot that she is also a salted fish, and so is her cousin Xing, who only wants to practice martial arts and become a general, and doesn't want to study at all.

Su Jinli didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Okay."

Fu Haoran said, "Last time we picked thorn bubbles well, shall we go up the mountain to pick thorn bubbles today?"

Su Jinli didn't want to move, looked at Zhou Xing, and hoped that Zhou Xing would go with Fu Haoran instead of calling her.

However, Zhou Xing did not receive the signal from his younger sister. Hearing this, he pulled Su Jinli and talked to the old lady Zhou in the house. The three of them ran to the back of the mountain. When they passed the village, they met Zhou Hu and the others. As soon as they heard that the three of them were going to pick thorns, they went with Hulala.

It's just that most of the thorns have disappeared in this season. A group of half-sized children wandered around the hillside for a long time, but they didn't find a few thorns. Instead, they ran profusely.

Su Jinli supported his knees with his hands, and sat down against the tree trunk with his buttocks. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was jumped up by something.

"Pain, pain, pain!" Zhou Xing heard Su Jinli's cry of pain, and hurried over to check.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, you can see that there are two hair balls stuck on Su Jinli's buttocks, no wonder Su Jinli is throbbing in pain.

"Don't move, you're sitting on a hair ball, I'll pull it off." Zhou Xing held back his smile, and stretched out his hand to pull the hair ball off Su Jinli's buttocks, and Su Jinli felt much better now.

Su Jinli looked at the fur ball thrown to the ground by Zhou Xing, took a closer look, and found that it was a chestnut, and immediately exclaimed, "Cousin, brother Haoran, it's a chestnut!"

Both Zhou Xing and Fu Haoran were confused, "What chestnut?"

Su Jinli, "It's just chestnuts. It can be eaten raw, fried or boiled. It's crispy and sweet when eaten raw, and it's fragrant and waxy when eaten cooked. It's delicious."

As he spoke, Su Jinli stepped on the two fur balls with his feet, rolled them on the ground, and soon opened a hole, revealing brown and white fruits inside.

Seeing that the chestnut ball was cut open, Su Jinli reached out to grab it regardless of whether it was tied or not, but Zhou Xing grabbed it, "Sister, don't move, be careful and prick your hand again."

Su Jinli looked at Zhou Xing eagerly, "But Jinli wants to peel chestnuts for you to eat."

Zhou Xing looked at his younger sister's eager eyes, and resignedly reached out to get the fur ball, and slowly peeled off the fruit inside, "Hey, younger sister, here you are."

During this process, Zhou Xing discovered that the hairball that was run over by his sister's feet was not that thorny.

Su Jinli bit hard on the hard shell of the chestnut. After it cracked, he peeled off the flesh inside and gave one to Zhou Xing and Fu Haoran respectively, "Cousin Xing, Brother Haoran, try it, it's really delicious. tasty."

Zhou Xing has always believed in his younger sister. Without even thinking about it, he put the chestnut meat into his mouth and chewed it. It was really crispy and sweet, "It's really delicious, sister, how do you know this is edible?"

Su Jinli pretended to be high-spirited with her little hands behind her back, then raised her chin and said proudly, "Of course, I read it in the book."

Hearing her uninspiring excuse, Zhou Xing smiled and did not expose Su Jinli.He lowered his head and started looking for hairballs on the ground.

Seeing this, Goudan Zhouhu and the others also began to look down for the fur balls, and then they crushed them with their feet like Su Jin carp, then peeled off the outer shell, then bit through another white or brown hard shell, and ate the flesh inside .

As soon as I ate it, I fell in love with the crunchy and sweet taste. A group of children started looking for fur balls, stepped on them, peeled them, and ate them. They all ate until their stomachs were round before they stopped.

Looking at the remaining chestnuts, Su Jinli's mind flashed, and she leaned into Zhou Xing's ear and said, "Cousin, let's ask Brother Goudan to help us pick up chestnuts. We will give them five copper coins for a catty of chestnuts, and we will take them back. , Let my aunt cook it and sell it at the stewed meat shop to make money."

Hearing what Su Jinli said, Zhou Xing immediately followed suit. He coughed twice, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he cleared his throat and said, "Goudan, Ergou, Zhou Hu, Fatty, Jinli said Now, if you pick up chestnuts, sell them to us, we will give you five copper coins per catty, and we will charge you as much as you pick up."

Ergou was older than the other children. Hearing what Zhou Xing said, he asked, "Really, as long as we pick it up, you will take it? Five copper coins per catty?"

Zhou Xing nodded, "Of course, I mean what I say. When have I lied to you?"

Ergou thought for a while, but there really wasn't any, "Okay, then we'll pick it up and sell it to you."

Fu Haoran was stunned by the side, not understanding why Zhou Xing and Su Jinli switched to buying chestnuts.

However, he quickly figured out the intentions of the two of them, and immediately said, "Count me in, and I'll take it with you."

Zhou Xing looked at Su Jinli, Su Jinli hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, but brother Haoran, you have to listen to us, and you can't make decisions without authorization."

Fu Haoran nodded, "OK."

Hey, it's just collecting chestnuts, it's not a big deal, just listen to it.

It was noon now, everyone searched on the ground for a while, all in their pockets, followed Su Jinli and Zhou Xing to Zhou's house.

As soon as he got home, Zhou Xing ran to call Yang, "Mother, mother, come and help us."

Yang poked her head out from the stove, "Stinky boy, what's the matter, why are you so unreasonable?"

Zhou Xing just chuckled, "Good thing, mother, I don't recognize the scale with Koi, you come and help us recognize the scale."

After finishing speaking, he went to the yard with the steelyard and two cloth bags in his hand.

Ergou was the first to pour the chestnuts in his pocket into a smaller cloth bag. Mrs. Yang weighed them with a scale and reported, "Two catties."

Zhou Xing took the cloth bag and poured the chestnuts into another larger cloth bag, while Su Jinli took out the wooden box brought out from the room, counted ten copper plates from it, and put them in Goudan's hands.

Mrs. Yang was dumbfounded. She didn't know what the two children were doing, but she didn't say a word. When all the chestnuts were weighed and Ergou and the children left, she opened her mouth and asked, "What is this? Why do you still buy it?" up?"
