Chapter 20. Picking Vegetables
This group is a small group of Luo Yihang and his friends, which consists of a few childhood friends and their families.

There were a lot of unread chat records. Luo Yihang flipped through them again and again, and it took him a long time to find the first one.

The first message today was from Qiangwa. The content was simple and clear, [Hangwa has replied. Let’s drink tomorrow night], and there was a heart at the end.

The first person to reply was Lao Jiang. He said he had to be on duty the next day and could not come, but he promised to make up for it by hosting next time.

Next is Lao Jiang’s wife. She said she had to accompany him on duty and couldn’t come. She will cook for him herself next time.

Afterwards, Sui Wa said she would be there on time after get off work.

Sui Wa's wife said she would take care of the child tomorrow and give Sui Wa a day off.

Then, the few who were not here were howling, saying that they were not taken with them, that they were drinking secretly, that they were alone outside with no one to accompany them, and so on.

This is all the normal topic, and then it starts to go off topic and become a mess.

After reading all the messages, Luo Yihang also sent a message, [Wine, water, drink it! Let’s drink beer! ]

As soon as I sent it out, I received a private message.

From Orchid in the Valley: [Don’t drink too much! Don’t get drunk! Don’t flirt with girls! ]

Luo Yihang doesn't even need to read the content, just looking at the name is enough to make you laugh.

This woman changed the group name card in the wrong place and changed her own VX name.

I just wanted to reply, [I’m just farming and setting up a small stall now, I don’t have the capital to pick up girls~~]

[Don’t say that about yourself (angry expression)]

...She was the first to get anxious.

Luo Yihang replied again: [Do you want me to hook up with you or not? ]

【（Knife expression）You know it yourself!!!】

Haha, my girlfriend is so fun.

Luo Yihang put down his phone, went upstairs to take a shower, change clothes, cooked two simple dishes, and called Qiangwa to eat.

After the two brothers finished their meal, one went upstairs and the other went up the mountain to go home.

Luo Yihang rode his scooter up the mountain, and when he got home, the moon was already high in the sky.

When I got home, I entered the yard, parked the car, locked the gate, and went into the house.

Sit down and pour yourself some water to drink, and report: "Dad, Mom, today's two thousand and one.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Guiqin reluctantly turned her eyes away from the TV, Luo Cheng opened his eyes drowsily, and Ding Xiaoman lay in the nest, wagging his tail lazily.

"Oh." The old couple responded, but didn't react much. They just nodded to show that they understood, and then asked, "Have you eaten?"

The old couple have become numb to their son earning one or two thousand yuan a day.

Luo Cheng regretted it for several nights, thinking that if he had known that fried pepper sprouts would sell so well, he would have sold them earlier. The harvest from previous years wasted, wasting tens of thousands of dollars.

"I've eaten it." Luo Yihang responded, and then said, "Pick some vegetables from the fields tomorrow, someone wants to buy them."

This is new.

The topic of selling vegetables immediately attracted the attention of the old couple. Zhang Guiqin keenly grasped the core question: "How much? How much?"

Luo Yihang replied: "I want ten catties first. I think there is enough in the field. I will sell it for 15 yuan per catty."

"Enough, enough. We can get 20 to 30 kilograms a day now. We only pick what we eat. The rest are untouched. They are growing well. After the next rain, they will be ready for sale in large quantities." Zhang Guiqin said a lot happily. As she was talking, she realized, "Hey, why are you selling them so expensively? Fifteen for tomatoes? Or fifteen for cucumbers?"

"All are fifteen, I'm not picky, just tell me if our stuff is good or not."

"It's good, but it can't be sold at such a high price."

It was really good. I might have been lucky on the first day, but the taste was the same every day in the following days, or even better.

But Zhang Guiqin still couldn't understand, "Why do you charge them 15 yuan? It's more than ten times more than the price at the farm. Are you cheating me?" "You get what you pay for. If we have ten points of the goods, we can sell them for ten points."

Luo Yihang took out his mobile phone, opened JD.com, and selected fresh food to show Zhang Guiqin and Luo Cheng.

Then, both of them had their three perspectives impacted.

I don’t understand, I don’t know, I feel like the world has gone crazy…

……

The next day, Saturday.

So Luo Yihang cleaned the sewer with his father Luo Cheng in the morning.

It hasn't rained for several days, and we've been using a lot of water for irrigating the fields recently, so we need to draw more water from the river.

I didn't plan to set up the stall in the afternoon because I had a party today and was afraid that I wouldn't have enough time. Plus, I picked a lot of pepper sprouts these days, so I needed to give the pepper trees some time to grow.

After lunch, Luo Yihang and his son carried hoes, and Zhang Guiqin carried a basket.

A family of three went to the fields together.

A lot of tomatoes have grown in the vegetable garden, and the fruits are in bunches. They are as big as dates and walnuts, and the largest are as big as a fist. They are tender and green with a red tip. Most of them are red with green bottoms, and a few are completely red. Zhang Guiqin gently pinches them off and carefully puts them in the basket.

The same goes for cucumbers, ranging from the length of the little finger, to the length of the thumb, to the length of a chopstick, to the length of half an arm. There are more small ones and fewer big ones, and all kinds of cucumbers are available.

I picked all the ripe ones.

Other vegetables such as lettuce, celery, spinach, etc. could be picked, but they were still small, so Luo Yihang couldn't bear to do so.

Zhang Guiqin couldn't bear it anymore and picked a few young celery stalks and put them in the basket.

To welcome the guests at the opening, we must let them have a taste of spring.

The happiest days are the days of harvest.

Zhang Guiqin kept her lips curled up, "They are all great treasures, 15 yuan a pound. Why are they growing so well this year? The land god must have shown his power."

Luo Yihang continued, "It's better to thank me than to thank the God of Land. I'm lucky. The vegetables in the fields grow well as soon as I come back."

Luo Yihang was slapped on the back by his mother. "Don't say that."

Luo Cheng continued, "If you ask me, last year's warm winter means the crops are growing well this year. We should be scientific."

In the end, he was ignored by the mother and son again. Luo Cheng silently dug up a bunch of weeds, picked them up and threw them away, muttering to himself: "It's not good to have a warm winter, the grass is growing so much."

When I looked up again, the mother and son had already walked away.

There is always work to do in the fields. I just do whatever I want and don’t feel anything until four o’clock in the afternoon.

After picking the vegetables, I tidied them up and weighed them.

There were about twenty pounds of fully ripe ones, most of which were tomatoes, with some cucumbers and a stalk of celery.

Luo Yihang felt that something was missing, so he washed some water chestnuts from the mud pond.

Then divide these things into three parts and load them all up.

The ten-jin portion was ordered by Teacher Xiao Zhang.

A portion of more than ten kilograms was to be sent to Ding Rui at the request of Comrade Zhang Guiqin.

Finally, bring some tomatoes for Qiangwa.

Qiangwa is too fat now, he needs to take more vitamins.

After everything was ready, Luo Yihang rode his scooter down the mountain.

Arrived in town half an hour later and went to the SF Express point first.
Luo Yihang supported the car with one leg and shouted to the inside: "Hello, can I get some fresh food? We are going to the capital. I'd like to trouble you to pack it for me."
