Chapter 655
The blue sky has a few white clouds floating in it.
The sun hangs high.
The sun pours down.
Give the earth plenty of heat.
in the fields.
Several figures shuttled among them.

Enke carried a basket and threw the freshly broken corn into it.
"Brother, many of them are bad."
The younger brother who worked with him complained softly.
"Pick the bad ones as well." Enke told him expressionlessly.
"You want the bad ones?" The sister on the other side didn't quite understand.
This was her first time picking corn and she didn’t understand the ins and outs.
"How disgusting." My sister frowned, "Why do you look like this?"
She looked at the blackened corn buds in front of her with hesitation on her face.
I don't know whether I should take it off or not.
"It was bitten by a mouse." Enke sighed, "That's why it looks like this."
For girls, he is willing to be more patient and tolerant.
"Can I still eat it?" My sister was very confused.
"It can be used as feed."
"So that's the case."
"So, you have to pick out the bad parts." Enke reiterated again, "If there are not many good parts left, just take off the good parts, only the good ones."
"Oh, I know." My sister nodded obediently.
Many people are powerful.
It took more than an hour to pick the corn in the field.
Enke discovered a problem.
Many of the corns picked have been bitten by mice.
it is bad.
He couldn't help but frown.
Seeing that his face was not good-looking, his brothers and sisters did not dare to speak.
After a while, my sister asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's wrong?"
"There were too many rats biting them. How did you take care of them before?" Enke said angrily.
"I don't know." The younger brothers and sisters looked at each other.
Enke was not surprised by this answer.
The farmland at home is not much, only a few acres.
The eldest brother can take care of such a small amount of land by himself.
My younger brothers and sisters don’t need much help.
Look at it from another angle.
They didn't pay much attention to what was going on in the fields, so of course they didn't know what was going on.
"Forget it, the sun is so bright that it makes you dizzy, so go back quickly."
Enke waved his hand.
Load the corn onto the donkey cart.
After my brothers and sisters also got in the car, I drove back home.
Enke's house is located on the edge of Tushan City.
Not long after walking, you can see a large number of low-rise houses with civil structures.
The Enke family is different.
His house is a tall and spacious three-story brick-concrete building.
It can be seen from a distance.
Quite impressive.
It can be seen that the family conditions are quite good.
But that was before.
Since the emergence of the epidemic, the old order has collapsed on a large scale, and the Enke family, who used to rely on farming to support themselves, is rapidly heading towards poverty.
If it weren't for Enke's name, there would still be such a small building.
I'm afraid the whole family will have to sleep on the street.
The donkey cart passed through the buildings.
Arrived home soon.
The car stopped in the courtyard.
Enke directed his younger brothers and sisters to get out of the way, and then controlled the truck to unload the corn.
Then I went to have a sip of tea.
After sitting for a few minutes, the drying process began.
Peel off all the outer leaves of the corn buds and turn them over.
Then several corn bracts are bundled into a ball and hung on the shelf.
The process is not complicated.
Even kids can do it.
With the help of my brothers and sisters, this work can be completed before dark.
But Enke was not happy.
Counting from a few years ago, life has become worse day by day.
Farming often results in negative income, and even the living expenses of my younger brothers and sisters have not yet been provided.
It's so frustrating.
"Is the eldest brother coming back?" A younger brother suddenly asked, "The neighbors said he ran away with a woman."
Enke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know either."
"Then what will we do in the future?" the younger brother asked again.
"Wait for me to think about it."
Enke agreed casually.
Then he started thinking.
This is a chaotic era. Even if a large number of people are lucky enough to survive today, they don't know if they are qualified to see the sun the day after tomorrow.
However, it also gives people the opportunity to improve their class.
The premise is that he can become an awakener.
have to say.
In modern times, the awakened ones are the cornerstone of everything.
"Brother, if it doesn't work, let us go out to work." A younger brother encouraged, "I see that the neighbor's little sister has gone to sell vegetables, and she has some income. I think, for such a simple thing, we can That’s for sure.”
"Is that just selling vegetables?" Enke shook his head repeatedly.
He was so protective of his younger brothers and sisters that he was a little ignorant of the dangers of the world.
In this day and age, what business is reliable?
He also went out to set up a stall to sell vegetables. To be honest, even robbery without knowing it was moral and conscientious.
In fact, he knew exactly what occupation his neighbor's little sister was engaged in.
I also know that if my sister goes to do that business, it will definitely be very profitable.
After all, their family used to have good conditions, so my sister was raised to be fair and tender.
It's very pleasing at first glance.
but.
Enke doesn't need to sell his sister's body.
Therefore, his brother's suggestion ushered in Enke's death gaze.
"I see you are itchy."
Enke said coldly.
"Don't worry, if there comes a day when you have to go out to set up a stall and sell things, I will change your dress and let you go and greet the customers!"
"Ah?!" The younger brother looked shocked, "Why do you want me to wear a dress? Isn't that what girls wear?"
"There are so many reasons!" Enke threw the corn in his hand angrily, and it hit his brother's arms. He picked it up hurriedly, "You don't even know what you are doing, so you just made random suggestions. Since If you want to do this so badly, let’s experience it for yourself!”
"Is there anything wrong with buying groceries?" The younger brother still looked confused. He subconsciously looked at his sister, "Do you know what's wrong?"
"I don't know." My sister shook her head.
Enke didn't know what to say about the performance of the two.
Could it be said that the neighbor is not buying vegetables, but selling meat?
Can you understand such a cryptic statement?
Or do you want to tell the truth?
However, is it okay to let such a young sister understand the dark side of the world?
Enke was at a loss.
Although he is much older than his younger brothers and sisters, he is still only a sixteen-year-old boy.
Regardless of his knowledge or experience, it is far inferior to his missing father and his elder brother who has gone to who knows where.
"You will understand this later." Enke felt a little headache and could only prevaricate his younger brothers and sisters.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, get all the corn picked, and hang it up to dry!"
Under Enke's urging, the younger brothers and sisters worked hard.
After Enke saw that it was done, he drove his younger brothers and sisters to eat and sleep.
By the time everything was done, Enke himself was very tired.
He climbed into bed and lay quietly for a while.
Probably because he was very tired, it didn't take long for his consciousness to gradually sink into darkness.
Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.
