Chapter 720: Father's Persimmon (First Vote)
After walking for nearly three minutes or so, Xia Yu walked under the ancient banyan tree.
The ancient banyan tree of more than 800 years is like a huge umbrella, up to 30 meters high, with a diameter of more than 50 meters, covering an area of more than 3 acres. Because the banyan tree is an evergreen tree, although it is now November, the tree is still covered with green leaves, and the sunlight penetrates the leaves and pours them on the ground, forming small bright spots.
Xia Yu stood under the tree, feeling very shady, in summer, this is definitely a good place to enjoy the shade.
Listening to the birdsong in the trees, Xia Yu approached, caressing the bark, and nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
This banyan tree runs through the childhood memories of Xia Yu in the previous life, although the circumference of the bottom of the tree reaches thirteen meters, it takes seven adults to hold hands to be able to surround it, but it is easy to climb up, Xia Yu always likes to climb to the tree to play when he was a child, and dig a bird's nest on it.
"This banyan tree is really big, I have seen a taller and bigger tree than this in the primeval forests of Southeast Asia, but as far as the banyan tree is concerned, I have never seen a big tree like this!"
Li Wuming, who was following Xia Yu, patted the thick banyan trunk and said with emotion.
Hearing Li Wuming say this, Xia Yongquan said with pride on his face: "I heard the old gentleman who originally came to us say that the banyan trees in our Xia Village are among the best in the country. ”
Xia Yongquan's pride made Xia Yu feel inexplicably familiar, he suddenly felt that he was so proud when he introduced it to outsiders in his previous life, he smiled slightly, and said with his chin bowed: "Indeed, there must be something bigger than this in China, but there will definitely not be more." ”
"More than 800 years, it is not easy to grow so big, let alone planted by the ancestors of the Xia family, but it must be well protected, I will go and mention it to the above, put a number plate on this banyan tree, and protect it." ”
Xia Yongquan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Ayu, thank you, everyone knows, I don't know how happy I should be!"
"Thank you, I'm a member of the Xia family, and since I have the ability, of course I can't watch it. ”
Xia Yu waved his hand and smiled.
Xia Yongquan's smile was even bigger, and his gaze at Xia Yu became closer and closer.
"Let's go, let's go around again, let's go from this road!"
As he spoke, Xia Yu pointed to the middle of the three forked roads, and the group continued to walk forward.
Along the way, I met the villagers from time to time, everyone was very enthusiastic after seeing Xia Yu, and invited Xia Yu to sit in their house.
However, because of the enthusiasm of the villagers, Xia Yu's heart was warm.
After walking for more than 500 meters, Xia Yu walked to the courtyard of a family and stopped.
The yard is made of stone, as long as one meter and five high, there is a wooden door in the middle, the wooden door is open, Xia Yu can see the scene inside, a row of four or five adobe tile houses in the farthest place, a green cypress tree on the right side of the yard, a persimmon tree five or six meters high on the left, the persimmon tree has few leaves, but it is full of red persimmons, and several children are picking persimmons on the tree.
Looking at this scene, Xia Yu's fists couldn't help clenching, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of complicated colors.
Seeing Xia Yu stop, Xia Yongquan subconsciously introduced to Xia Yu: "Ah Yu, this is Uncle Xinhua's home, it is estimated that he is going to work in the field now, do you want to go in and sit?"
Xia Yu nodded, controlled his emotions, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
"Okay! I'll go in first. ”
Saying that, Xia Yongquan volunteered to walk forward, and shouted loudly before he entered the yard: "Uncle Xinhua, auntie, are you at home?"
"Ah Fang, Ah Wen, are your parents at home?"
Seeing that no one answered, Xia Yongquan shouted at a few children on the tree again.
"My mom is in the vegetable garden behind the house, and my dad is working in the fields!"
A child on the tree was eating a persimmon in his mouth and said loudly.
Xia Yu looked at the child talking on the tree, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the memory of his previous life hit him, and his eyes were slightly moist.
Like!
This little boy of about ten years old is a completely miniature version of his father in his previous life.
Calculate the age, it should be right!
The conversation between Xia Yongquan and the little boy verified Xia Yu's idea.
I only heard Xia Yongquan shouting to the little boy: "Ah Fang, pick a few delicious persimmons and come down, there are guests at home!"
"Okay!"
The little boy said loudly, and then climbed towards a branch like a monkey, his movements were very fast, but Xia Yu was frightened, and he couldn't help shouting: "Be careful, don't fall down!"
The little boy smiled and said a little smugly: "Don't worry, the persimmon tree is very tough, I am very good at climbing trees, and I will not fall down!"
Xia Yu was a little relieved at this time, and his face was full of smiles.
Unexpectedly, his honest father in his previous life was also so skinny when he was a child.
At this time, a little boy slipped down with a tree trunk, and after saying "I'm going to call my mother" to Xia Yu and others, he ran barefoot into the house, and shouted in his mouth: "Mom, Mom, Brother Ah Quan is here with the big brother who gave sugar yesterday, Mom ......"
Xia Yu Yile, his second uncle Xia Dongwen was also interesting enough when he was a child, it turned out that he only left them with the impression of 'big brother with sugar' yesterday.
"Ayu, let's go sit down first!"
When Xia Yu and others just entered the house, they happened to see a rural woman about thirty years old walking over, and when they saw Xia Yu and others, they greeted with a smile: "Mr. Xia is here, distinguished guests, and Ah Quan, the house is a little messy, don't dislike it, you sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”
"Auntie, don't bother, we'll do it ourselves!"
Xia Yongquan said and hurriedly walked over to help.
"No, no, you sit down first, where do you want to do it when you come to the house, don't you look down on your aunt, sit down!"
The woman was very enthusiastic, her hands and feet were very quick, she poured out a few glasses of water from the boiling water bottle, took the plate to the table, handed a cup to Xia Yu with her own hands, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, drink water!"
The grandmother in the previous life poured water, Xia Yu immediately took it with both hands, and smiled gratefully: "Thank you, auntie, I'm not an outsider, don't call me sir, just call me Ayu." ”
At the same time, his heart was greatly touched, in his memory, his grandmother Gu Yuedi was already old, with silver hair and wrinkles on her face, how young she was now.
Gu Yuedi looked at Xia Yu and found that his face was sincere, so she nodded again and again and said, "Okay." ”
"There are peanuts here, grown at home, just dried a few days ago, but they are sweet!"
As she spoke, Gu Yuedi opened the cabinet again and took out a plate of peanuts on the table.
Under Gu Yuedi's expectant gaze, Xia Yu picked up a pack and peeled it, poured peanuts into his mouth and chewed, and exclaimed: "It's really sweet and delicious!"
"Eat more if it's delicious, and I'll decorate it for you later." ”
"Auntie, no, no, sit down!"
Seeing that Gu Yuedi was about to load peanuts again, Xia Yu hurriedly smiled to stop her.
At this time, Xia Dongfang, that is, Xia Yu's father in his previous life, ran in with a bunch of red persimmons with the clothes on his chest, and when he came to Xia Yu, he smiled and said: "Big brother, eating persimmons is sweet!"
Glancing at her eldest son with appreciation, Gu Yuedi also greeted warmly: "Yes, the persimmons at home are particularly sweet, Ah Yu, you can taste them!"
Looking at Xia Dongfang's expectant eyes and innocent smile, Xia Yu's eyes gradually moistened, and he applauded again and again, picked up a persimmon and peeled it off and bit it hard, and said vaguely: "It's very sweet, thank you!"
The persimmon is really sweet, and the taste is very fresh, which makes Xia Yu's taste buds bloom.
But at this time, Xia Yu didn't care about these at all, he only felt that his heart was being pinched, his eyes were sour, and he tried his best to control it not to let the tears flow.
This is his father, the father who raised him with hard work in his previous life, facing the loess with his back to the sky for him to go to college!
Although he was just a child in front of him, Xia Yu seemed to see the old figure on his body and was looking at him with a kind face.
