The old man looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go home and have breakfast."

The happiest person after hearing the word "eat" was Wukong. He jumped directly from the tree onto Zhang Taiping's shoulder, not because he was hungry but because he could finally escape from Fan Ming's clutches. He squeaked and told himself

unfair treatment.

Zhang Taiping naturally untied the medicine basket from the old man's back and put the wild apricot kernels picked up by a few girls into the basket. Xiaoxi and Wukong were squatting on the shoulders, walking at the front.

The old man walked at the back with a smile in his eyes and his hands behind his back.

After returning home, several little girls took an iron hammer and smashed the apricot kernels at the door, and then put the almonds into the wooden box prepared by the old man.

Yaya and Tiantian knew that the wild almonds on the mountain were too bitter to eat, so they smashed them open and put them in the box politely. But Fan Ming didn't know that. Besides, she had eaten dry-fried almonds before.

Looking at the heart-shaped almonds that I smashed open and still carrying a faint fragrance, I thought it was the same kind as the ones I had eaten before, so I put one in my mouth.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!" Fan Ming chewed two mouthfuls and spit it out quickly. Then she ran into the kitchen with her mouth closed. She rinsed her mouth with a ladle of water several times before asking Zhang Taiping, "

Why are these almonds so bitter? The almonds I ate before were very oily."

Before Zhang Taiping could speak, Tiantian asked curiously: "Wild almonds are inherently bitter, little aunt, don't you know?"

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Almonds are divided into wild and home-grown. What you usually eat is home-grown. Just like the almonds in the apricots sold on the street can be eaten, but the wild almonds in the mountains are bitter."

, it can’t be eaten and can only be used as medicine. Think about it, it’s strange that something that can be used as medicine is bitter.”

In fact, the bitterness of almonds is not as exaggerated as Fan Ming expressed. This is not coptis, but Fan Ming drinks a few Chinese medicines from time to time these days, which has a psychological shadow on the bitterness.

"Then you didn't tell me earlier, so I'm the only one who doesn't know." Fan Ming pouted and said.

Yaya smiled a little gloatingly and said: "How do we know that you don't know? No one wanted to escape and you suddenly ate one. You can't blame others for this."

Fan Ming rolled her eyes at Yaya and ignored her provocation. Suddenly she heard a chirping sound behind her. She turned around and saw Wukong squatting on the Eight Immortals table with a grin. He immediately stared at her eyes and whispered softly: "You come too.

Are you itching to laugh at me?"

When Wukong saw Fan Ming turning around to accuse him, he quickly jumped off the table and ran toward the backyard. He wisely chose to avoid and not let himself become a punching bag.

After smashing the xingke, Yaya and Tiantian went out for a while and brought back a group of children, all carrying bags in their hands. After Zhang Taiping thought for a moment, he knew why they came.

Sure enough, when the child walked up to him, a slightly older child stood up and said to Zhang Taiping: "Uncle, handsome uncle, do you want to accept the apricot kernels?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "Collect! It's just almonds, three cents each, three yuan per hundred."

The little kids were so happy that they found stones in the yard and started smashing them on the spot. Zhang Taiping asked Ye Ling to deal with these boys and girls, and went into the house to surf the Internet.

After a while, Ye Ling came in and told him that he had collected nearly a thousand of them, and that the little ones ran to the nearby hills to pick them up. The most indispensable thing on the hills were the wild peach trees and wild apricot trees, and most of them had fallen now.

On the ground, it is easy to pick up a lot.

Zhang Taiping gave Ye Ling a lot of change and told her to take whatever the little ones brought.

The next day was the big market, and everyone except the old man went to the market. Zhang Taiping drove Cai Yazhi and Yaya on his motorcycle, and the others sat in the cars that were moving like water. When they were about to go out, they finally

Wukong was the one who was anxious. Seeing that Zhang Taiping's motorcycle couldn't fit him anymore, he squeaked and got into the car that was moving like water.

The market in June is no better than that in the twelfth lunar month. There are relatively fewer people and it is not crowded in the morning.

There are more fruits in this season, so the fruit stalls are the ones you see most along the way.

Fan Ming curiously ran to a stall selling peaches and asked the price: "Auntie, how much do these peaches cost per pound?"

The peach seller was a woman who looked to be about forty years old. When she saw a group of people like Zhang Taiping, both big and small, with well-dressed people coming over, she thought she had met the seller, and said with a warm smile on her face: "Two."

It costs 1 yuan per catty. These peaches are grown locally. The peach orchard is

Nearby, these peaches are definitely fresh ones picked in the morning. You can see that there are still leaves on them. Moreover, my peaches are not fertilized with chemical fertilizers. They are all organic fertilizers and have not been treated with pesticides. They are absolutely pollution-free.

It tastes sweet and juicy. How many pounds do you want, big lady?"

Fan Ming had never seen such a battle before. She just wanted to ask the price of peaches to compare with the peaches sold in her own peach orchard. Unexpectedly, the lady said such a long list, and finally asked her how many kilograms she wanted.

.Standing in front of the stall, his face turned red from embarrassment. Not knowing what to do, he turned around and looked at the people pitifully.

Cai Yazhi quickly stepped forward and apologized, pulling Fan Ming and turning around to leave.

The lady at the back saw the others turn around and leave after she said so much. She was stunned for a moment and shouted from behind: "If you want it sincerely, you can get it cheaper." But the group of people walked faster.

After walking all the way out, Fan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, not daring to ask the price anymore. Only then did everyone realize that Wukong was holding the peach in his hand, wiping it on his body and bringing it to his mouth.

"Yeah, Wukong stole one..." Yaya knew she had made a mistake halfway through shouting, and quickly covered her mouth and looked back, looking as cute as she could.

Wukong did not steal the peach's consciousness, so he brought the fist-sized peach to his mouth and bit it. Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming were afraid of being discovered by the aunt not far behind, so they quickly moved over to block Wukong in front of them, and then walked quickly

Walk forward.

Wukong took two bites of the peach and then threw it out. The peach looked not small but not tasty. Then he stretched out his hand to beg from Zhang Taiping. On the street, Zhang Taiping ignored it at all.

Seeing that Zhang Taiping ignored him, it went to hang out at the fruit stall on the roadside again. It was undoubtedly the most excited one today.

Also happy and novel are Tiantian and Ye Ling. Although Tiantian lives not far from here, he and Lu Feng used to depend on each other. Lu Feng was so busy with life that he could only support the mother and daughter, and had no spare money at all.

I don’t have the time to go shopping at the market.

time; and Ye Ling used to work hard to make a living in a remote mountain village in the Northeast, and had to take care of a seriously ill grandma. She rarely went to the town, and she had never seen a big market. This was her first time.

The first time I saw Daji was the first time I went shopping.

Zhang Taiping would buy whatever the little girls liked, but the three girls, including Ye Ling, were sensible and walked half a street without buying much. No one had a bunch of candied haws or a piece of marshmallow in their hands.

Even walking like water, it was rare for a child to be there. There were no exceptions. Only Zhang Taiping was not carrying something, but he was carrying several oil cakes.

Wukong was licking the candied haws in his mouth and his hands were still unclean. When he got to the human stall, he stole a piece of fruit and ran to Zhang Taiping without anyone noticing. Even if he was discovered again, people would just laugh when they saw that he was a clever monkey.

He didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, Zhang Taiping often felt embarrassed. Whenever he was found out, he would go over and buy something for fun.

"Who took my hat?" A man passing by suddenly turned around and shouted angrily.

Zhang Taiping and others turned around and saw a man with a bald head and sores on it, which looked a little uncomfortable. No wonder he was wearing a hat in the summer.

Wukong next to him was holding a hat to put on his head. Feeling Zhang Taiping's stern gaze, he jumped up and put the hat on the other person's head, and then looked around as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Taiping couldn't laugh or cry. Also dumbfounded was the man who was wearing a hat. He didn't know what to say while holding the hat.

The bald man with sores pulled the hat and put it on his head. Just when he was about to get angry, Cai Yazhi quickly stepped forward and apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, the little monkey is ignorant, so don't take it to heart."

When the bald man saw a beautiful woman coming up to apologize, most of the anger in his heart had already disappeared. Then he looked at Zhang Taiping, who was like an iron tower next to Wukong. He swallowed back the words he wanted to curse and said angrily.

: "Take care of your pets on the street. It's not good to touch other people's things randomly." After saying that, he turned around and left.

When people nearby saw how naughty and smart this monkey was, they all gathered around to see it.

Zhang Taiping quickly led everyone away from this place, otherwise he would not just be looking at a monkey, but he might even be looking at himself as a monkey.

After walking a long distance, Zhang Taiping flipped his hand and suddenly a branch appeared, handed it to Fan Ming and said: "If this little thing doesn't obey, you will teach him a lesson."

Fan Ming took the branch and waved it beside Wukong and said with a smile: "Okay, this is my favorite thing to do."

With Fan Ming's supervision, Wukong was much quieter on the way down. But his eyes kept rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Although Fan Ming was holding the branch, it was impossible to really

Even if it doesn't hurt Fan Ming, he still can't do it when he greets it. He mainly uses it to scare him.

With this little thing around, it can become the center of attention wherever it goes, attracting many children to pull their adults to stop and watch, shouting "monkey, monkey" in their mouths.

Therefore, Zhang Taiping and others did not dare to stay there at all. If they stayed for a moment, they would be immediately surrounded by a group of people to watch. So they walked through the streets without stopping and walked quickly.
