Peanuts were legumes. After the peanut stalks were pulled from the ground, the peanuts had to be removed individually from the roots. This was the perfect job for children.
After Xiao Lingyu hired ten women from the village, she had Xiao Xiaohui call a group of children from the village to come and pick peanuts from the roots.
The peanuts were still lush and green. Some of them had bloomed with yellow flowers. Those who didn't know better would think that these peanuts were not ripe yet.
The children picked the peanuts at a price of 20 cents per catty.
After all, the children were lively and active. This was an exercise and playtime for them. Xiao Lingyu had money, but she wouldn't spoil the children with money. They had to work hard to earn money. That was a lesson worth learning.
It was currently summer vacation, and with just a wave of Xiao Xiaohui's hand, 10 to 20 children came over.
