Chapter 238: Apricot Picking
While pedaling the car, she was still muttering: "Yoyo, you are not fun at all, you don't want other children to like it."
Yoyo, my aunt told you, when I was a child, I went to the department store after school and school, just to take a look at the dolls on the glass counter.
Knowing that adults can't afford it, I never dared to say that I wanted it. I don't like it when I come to you. ”
Only then did Yoyo understand the reason why she bought herself a doll every time.
When I went back in the afternoon, my grandmother bought a few baskets of greens, cucumbers, cabbage, garlic and beans at the grocery store. There are many varieties of vegetables here, and they are on the market early, and they are not available in many vegetable villages.
Now, there is an old chief living in the village, and the county gives him support every week, and the people in the village also follow the elder, and there are many things that have not been seen before, at least they have seen it.
Nectarines shocked the whole family, and the children were addicted to eating them. Uncle and grandfather really knew this thing, and when he saw it, he said, "Xiuqin, why did you buy this, Li Guangtao looks good or not." It's sour and astringent, let's say it's a peach, it's really not as delicious as a plum. Now we have one here, too?"
After he took a bite, he said: "No wonder it is said that it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions, this Li Guangtao planted here is really delicious." ”
It turned out that my uncle and grandfather had eaten nectarines when they were in the Northwest Garrison, where nectarines were as smooth as plums in appearance, but the taste and texture were similar to peaches, and everyone called it Li Guang peach. However, the taste is more sour, because it is not in line with people's eating habits, few people eat it raw, and most of them are used to dry preserved fruits.
As long as there is, it's easy to say, and grandma is relieved. Her old man said: "This is given by someone else, I really don't see anything sold in the store." ”
The next day, the mother and daughter went to Hongcheng first. Luo Xincai really got up, he stayed in bed all year round, and Yoyo and his grandmother came by car, he either didn't get up or didn't eat.
The yard in the county seat was small, and Yoyo didn't plant nectarine, so his grandmother brought a basket to his family. Luo Xincai was like a child, he immediately washed a basin and ate peaches before eating.
"Sister-in-law, this nectarine is so delicious, next year you will also get me a sapling, and I will also plant it, at this time there is a lack of fruit, just to make the children hungry." ”
Wang Daidi said to him: "It's you who are hungry yourself, sister-in-law, the children are not hungry yet, and everything they eat is under the pretext of the children, but in fact, he is hungry himself." ”
Luo Xincai didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "This is not right, I will make a name for myself, and you ladies will enjoy it." ”
Grandma gave the socks she brought to Wang Daidi, and Luo Xincai simply ate breakfast, and gave the 5,000 quick silver dollars he collected to grandma. Wang Daidi asked for 5,000 pairs of socks, and her grandmother gave them 10,000 yuan, and she took Yoyo to leave.
It was only ten o'clock in the morning when they arrived in Pingcheng, and the two went back to their house first. Grandma was not too tired, so she went to pick nectarines when she entered the house, and when she saw that she was in high spirits, she returned to the house, lit the stove, and began to clean.
By the time Grandma finished picking the nectarine, it was already half past eleven. Yoyo took out the water balls that were put in during the Spring Festival from the space, added fungus, flour skin and spinach, made a simple stew, and added steamed buns, and the two of them had lunch together.
Grandma drank the tea brewed by Youyou, and said with satisfaction, "Grandma has boiled it out and eaten the food I cooked." In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up, and Haohao is about to be taller than me. ”
Grandma went to find Grandma Yang, and when she was sleepy, she went to take a nap on the kang. By the time she was woken up by her grandmother, Grandma Yang was already gone.
After listening to Grandma, Grandma Yang received 3,000 quick silver dollars, 24 gold bars, and 1,800 yuan of jade. She also asked for 5,000 pairs of socks, and her grandmother gave her 11,080 yuan.
The quality of the jade collected by Grandma Yang is really good, and the pieces are warm and transparent, which makes people can't take their eyes off them, and they are all high-quality products. Grandma liked it very much, she said: "These things can be heirlooms, we are not in a hurry to use the money, let's put them all." ”
Of course, Yoyo has no opinion, besides, so far, she has not sold a jade artifact in the mall, so she has to find a suitable opportunity to let her grandfather identify it before she can decide to stay.
At the end of May in the solar calendar, it is time to harvest the oats in the river beach. Just after harvesting the oats, the alfalfa should be harvested again, and the villagers believed the words of the uncle who helped the court.
They all said: "It's really like what the aid court said, this alfalfa is harvested once a month." No, after the wheat, I have to catch a few more pig seedlings, and they will grow up in time for the New Year. ”
After harvesting alfalfa, it happened to be planted in mango, and the school also had a wheat holiday. This year's wheat in the team is a little late due to chasing ammonia twice. But the wheat is ripe and ready for harvesting.
The wheat of the Yoyo family and the uncle and grandfather's family was harvested together, and everyone came to help, and it was completed in two days. Uncle and grandfather made the decision and gave the harvest of more than 600 catties of wheat to the Youyou family.
Now several children in the uncle's family, except for Sister Zhizhi, almost all eat at Youyou's house.
Seeing that the apricots of each family began to turn yellow, my grandmother took Youyou, went to two places in one day, and picked back the wheat apricots in her own yard in the city.
Wait another half a month, Kate apricots should be ripe, this kind of apricot has a higher sweetness, and the apricot pits have no bitter taste, they can be eaten raw. Children usually smash the apricot kernel open after eating the apricot meat and eat it immediately.
After that, the fruits in the yard ripen one after another, and it seems that the mother and daughter have to go out once every half a month to pick fruits.
The fruit trees planted by Yoyo are all new varieties, and there is still a difference between them and the current wheat and apricot trees. The apricot aroma is rich, sweet and sour, and I ate several of them in one go.
Grandma saw it and quickly stopped: "Don't eat it, you can't eat too many apricots." It is hot and eats too much and has nosebleeds. You remember it for your grandmother: apricots hurt people, peaches raise people, and plum rows carry the dead. ”
Yoyo checked on the Internet, apricot meat tastes sour, hot, eating apricots will hurt the muscles and bones, induce old diseases, and even lose eyebrows and hair, affecting eyesight, if the birth, pregnant women and children are also very prone to sores and boils.
At the same time, due to the strong acidity of chai apricot, overeating is not only easy to surge gastric acid, hurt the stomach and cause stomach problems, but also easy to corrode teeth and induce tooth decay. For the apricots that hurt people too much, it is advisable to eat 3~5 pieces a day, and it is okay to eat sweet apricots for meat.
However, making apricots into apricot juice drinks is not only safe but also good for health. For people who love to eat apricots, in addition to taking care of their greedy mouths, it is the best policy to eat more processed dried apricots and dried apricots.
The two of them didn't see anyone this time, picked the apricots in Linshui and Pingcheng, bought some vegetables, and came back. It's about to be harvested, so you have to get ready to eat.
The team ordered two pigs of their own, and the rest of the water was enough for their own food, and the mother didn't buy meat this time.
The county originally regarded Hantun as a pilot village, and Secretary Li of the county party committee personally inquired. Now, my uncle comes to the village every day to observe the ripening of the wheat. It is set on June 10 of the solar calendar, and the wheat is harvested.
