Chapter 261
After picking the walnuts and chestnuts, it was time for dinner. It would be too late to cook by ourselves, as the inn usually prepared the meals. So the three of us went to the inn for a meal, then came back and put on gloves to peel the walnuts.
Lin Nanzhi is an old hand, having been doing this since childhood, so he is not afraid. Instead, he is afraid that the two of them might hurt their hands, so he said, "I can just use a knife. You two can pour the walnuts on the ground, and if there are any big cracks like this, just put them on the ground and gently tap them with your feet and they will open. It's very convenient."
The ones she made were completely free of cracks and required a sickle to remove the shell.
After hearing this, the two of them started to work. The three of them collected a lot of walnut shells together. In fact, if they were poured directly under the walnut tree, over time, the shells would turn into nutrients and be reabsorbed by the tree.
But not only has it been too long, it will also smell bad, so Lin Nanzhi poured it all into a septic tank in the corner of the yard outside. He will just make the ingredients and fertilize all the trees later.
There is a kind of melanin on the green shell of walnuts, which will turn black wherever it is touched, especially the hands that will definitely turn black from eating walnuts every year. In order to prevent the three people's hands from getting black, Lin Nanzhi took the best gloves and applied three layers of protection. In the end, after handling all the walnuts and chestnuts, the fingertips of the three people were still a little black, but not very obvious.
"It's over, it can't be washed off." Wanbaobao widened his eyes.
"I saw online that there is a way to wash it off, so I'll give it a try."
Fortunately, it was successfully washed off in the end. Although there is still a little yellow mark, it is not obvious.
Move the walnuts under the faucet, throw them into the basin, scrub them dry, then pour them back into the basket, then take them to the yard to dry in the sun.
The three of us divided the work and worked together, and finished the job quickly.
The walnuts can be collected at night.
"Take some and eat them, and send some to your parents. If they can't finish it, just put it in the sun to dry."
Wanbaobao nodded repeatedly.
Lin Nanzhi took out some more boxes and began to teach the two how to distinguish the good from the bad. The heavy ones have flesh, and the light ones are basically blind. The ones with some black spots on the surface are called oily ones by Lin Nanzhi and his friends. They can be eaten, but they don't taste good.
After careful selection, they were divided into three categories: good, average, and bad. The bad ones were discarded and crushed and spread on the dirt road to prevent slipping and waterproofing. The average ones were the ones that tasted bad, but fortunately there were not many of them. The two walnut trees produced seven or eight baskets, and in the end only one small bucket of average ones was picked out. The bad ones were even fewer, less than half a bucket.
"Send some to your parents, too."
"Um."
Lin Nanzhi thought again and decided to send some to Lin Nanxuan. Although Lin's father might have already sent it, this was her intention and had nothing to do with Lin's father.
As for Zhang Jiayu, her family has plenty of food. Last time I went there, Grandma Zhang gave her a lot of food. When I left, Zhang Jiayu asked me to take it away with me. So I won’t send it to her. I’ll send her something else.
There are plenty of walnuts in Mengxin, so we don't just need walnuts and chestnuts, so we can send some other things as well.
There are also some other friends, such as Shi Xiaoxiao, the teacher who taught her during her internship in the hospital, and the forensic doctor at the police station... I sent a little to each of them, and then gave some to Lin's mother.
Mother Lin doesn't have any walnuts here, but she loves to eat walnuts, so she can take some over, but not too many, because Mother Lin, like her, doesn't like to eat dried walnuts.
After the distribution, he looked at the two people again: "Do you have any friends who need to send mail? Anyway, I would be exhausted without you today. You also have the right to distribute."
"How embarrassing! This is your walnut tree..." Wan Baobao said embarrassedly. Meeting Lin Nanzhi's gaze, she added, "I'll send some to my brother and uncle. If they don't need the rest, they can buy them themselves."
uncle.
If she remembered correctly, Wanbaobao's uncle was Director Li.
no problem.
She looked at Wen Jiunian.
"Then leave some for me. There are some nice seniors in the circle. I'll send some to them." There aren't many relatives on the family side. Grandpa and grandma don't need them. They are old and their teeth are almost gone. They should eat less walnuts than possible.
Just send more to his parents and ask them to send some over.
Lin Nanzhi nodded, then went to the express delivery station and got a cart and a bunch of foam boxes, both large and small. Lin Nanzhi also got something to print out express delivery orders, since their family was selling fruit, so they naturally had that.
After packing, I put a cardboard box on top, filled in and printed out the names, phone numbers and addresses of both parties, printed out the order number, pasted it on the cardboard box, sealed it with tape, packed it, put it on a cart, and pushed it to the express station.
She has already prepared everything here, so all she needs to do is leave it at the express station and wait for the courier to pick it up and deliver it.
"How about I treat you guys to hot pot tonight?"
After finishing his work and being exhausted, Lin Nanzhi returned home, pounded his hands and feet, and looked at the two people and asked.
The two had no comments.
"Change clothes!"
July and August were still in the inn, so Lin Nanzhi didn't plan to bring them back. He would talk about it tomorrow, and then he went back to his room to change his clothes.
She changed into a pair of slim-fit jeans and matched them with an orange shirt. She was afraid of the cold, so after thinking for a while she picked up a white long sweater and went downstairs holding it in her arms.
Wen Jiunian and Wan Baobao downstairs both changed their clothes.
Wen Jiunian was dressed very similarly to her, but he wore a black windbreaker jacket.
Looking at Wan Baobao again, she was wearing a knee-length skirt and a beret, with her two long white legs exposed. She couldn't help but frown and reminded him, "Baby, this is your first time here and you don't know the weather here. The temperature difference between morning and night is very big. Do you want to change clothes or put on a coat?"
Wanbaobao was very reluctant, but still followed Lin Nanzhi's suggestion and returned to his room.
Lin Nanzhi sat down and waited, and then she found Wen Jiunian staring at her. She touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something?"
"No, I think your classmate got an advantage with this name!"
Lin Nanzhi: “…”
"I think you are jealous!"
I thought Wen Jiunian would deny it, but he did, and he was very straightforward: "Yeah, I'm jealous. You call her baby, but you've never called me that."
Lin Nanzhi remained silent.
To be honest, she felt that calling him "baby" was too corny. It took her a long time to prepare herself mentally before she called him "Wan baby". Even then, she seldom called him that. If she was asked to call Wen Jiunian "baby", it would be better to kill her.
After all, calling him Wanbaobao is his name, there’s nothing we can do about it.
Calling Wen Jiunian has a very strange feeling, even stranger than calling him dear.
"I don't want it, it's too corny!"
Wen Jiunian: “…”
never mind!
Who lets someone else's name take advantage of him, when his name isn't one of them!
