Qiao Jiayue has to go to see it several times a day, but she never picks up the fallen bayberry, who knows how many bugs or bacteria are on it?

Bayberry is getting bigger day by day, and everyone didn't think much about it at the beginning, they just thought it was an early-maturing variety.

However, the bayberry did not begin to turn red at the end of May as everyone expected, but continued to grow, larger than the bayberry they had ever seen.

In a blink of an eye, in early June, the bayberry was already the size of a ping-pong ball, and they finally stopped growing.

The topmost bayberry, which receives the most light, has a little light pink on the edge, and the bayberry is starting to turn red.

At any time, there are young children guarding under the trees, waiting for the fallen bayberry, but also to drive away birds, but also to prevent people from stealing.

"A-Niang, this bayberry is delicious after it is red, you will definitely like it. Qiao Jiayue pulled Qiao's mother to stand on the slope and looked down at the bayberry tree.

From this angle, you can see that the outermost bayberry of the branch has turned red.

Qiao's mother looked at this bayberry tree and couldn't help pursing her mouth, for fear that she would not be able to help drooling.

She ate bayberry once when she was a child, and she has never forgotten it, but there is no bayberry in the north, and it is even more difficult to eat it.

Later, she came to the south with Qiao's father, and when she hadn't returned to the alpine brigade, when the season came, she had to buy a big basket to eat every time, and she didn't care if she was sour, and her lips and fingers were dyed purple red.

After returning to the alpine brigade, the number of times I ate bayberry was only a handful.

Now as soon as Qiao's mother sees these unripe bayberry, a large pot of ripe bayberry seems to appear in front of her and she can feast on it.

At this time, the bayberry is not fully ripe, at least until late June, when the bayberry is completely ripe, red and swarthy, and seems to reflect the luster under the sun, then it can be harvested.

In the blink of an eye, the second batch of educated youths belonging to the Gaoshan Brigade had arrived, and they were still on the road, four men and one woman, dressed much better than the first batch of educated youth.

It turned out that they were all from the sea market.

These five educated youths were divided into four teams, and the four teams were divided into a man and a woman, named Deng Ying and Yang Hong respectively.

The residences of the four teams have been arranged, one for women and one for men, and the conditions are acceptable.

However, when a few of the new intellectuals saw that the brigade had tractors, they were very dissatisfied, blaming the brigade headquarters for why they didn't use tractors to pick them up and deliberately let them walk!

The first batch of educated youths did not speak, but just looked at these new intellectuals and smiled, waiting for them to taste the hardships they had suffered.

After the first batch of educated youths were repaired, they are now keeping to themselves and doing whatever work they are assigned.

And they also found that as long as they are obedient, in fact, the team will not be too harsh on them, and the attitude of the members is quite friendly.

The brigade did not let them go to the commune, but they still had contacts with the educated youth of the Changshan brigade.

I don't know if there is no comparison, it turns out that the Alpine Brigade is really good to them.

Heavy loads such as fertilizer are transported to the ground by tractors, and they don't do much work such as picking things.

The terrain on the side of the Changshan Brigade is more sloping, the slope is greater, and the path in the field is narrow.

After the comparison, most of the educated youth are indeed quieter, but it is not clear whether they have other thoughts in their hearts, but at present, they are still peaceful.

In their spare time, these educated youths also help the primary school organize some after-school activities.

Compared to the countryside, there are more ways to play in the city, and many mini-games have quickly become popular in schools.

The intellectuals were particularly familiar with the revolutionary model plays, and they rehearsed several times and performed them once on June 1st, which won the warm applause of the members, which satisfied their vanity.

The days are counting the bayberry ripening and passing quickly.

In collective times, everything is collective, and this bayberry tree is no exception.

The bayberry is red, between the emerald green leaves, different shades of red are embellished with branches, like rubies, a gust of wind blows, the rich fragrance is spread in the wind, and the children under the tree are anxious to scratch their ears and cheeks.

The bayberry tree grows on Qiao's father's territory, so it is naturally under his control.

Qiao's father calculated the time and found a few children with the most flexible bodies to pick bayberry.

The children, who were not allowed to go up the tree, could only stay under the tree, and when they saw that some bayberry trees were falling because of the swaying branches, they rushed up to scramble.

The children handed baskets to the bottom of the tree, and in less than half a day, they filled four large baskets.

This bayberry tree is very tall, the crown is more than twice as large as usual, and the number of bayberry trees on the tree has not decreased, even after many have been picked.

The bayberry will last for several days to ripen, and all the red bayberry on the tree will be plucked, and there are more than ten baskets, and each basket is sharp.

This bamboo basket is not small, but the kind of round-mouthed bamboo basket with a fat belly, which can hold many things.

Qiao's father sent two baskets to each of the other three production teams, and the remaining four teams were kept.

The bayberry is big, a basket looks a lot, but the number is actually not much, a production team, each person can have four or five is very good.

Qiao Jiayue kept the bayberry from everyone in the family, put it in an enamel basin and soaked it in salt water for a while, and then sprinkled it with a little sugar, not to mention how beautiful it was.

Everyone just ate a few, and kept the rest for Qiao's mother, so that she could eat happily.

Qiao's mother was happy in her heart, the children were so caring, she was reluctant to refuse their request.

Anyway, the bayberry tree can be picked for several days, and if you eat enough on the first day, you will leave all the rest to the children.

The ripening period of bayberry is not long, only about ten days, except for the bayberry on the first day, which is divided into four brigades, and the rest of the bayberry, Qiao's father decided to make bayberry candied fruit.

Bayberry is not easy to preserve, difficult to transport, and it is too wasteful to distribute it all to the members of the club, so it is better to make it into candied fruit, whether it is sold or eaten by yourself.

But for the children of the brigade, the anticipation of waiting for the bayberry to fall from the sky every day under the bayberry tree is really wonderful.

Because there are too many children, each production team even guards them in groups and time periods, trying to take care of every child.

Qiao Jiayue's brothers and sisters have never participated in such activities, and if they want to eat bayberry, they just spend some money to buy it.

And many of those educated youths are eating bayberry for the first time, and they are also very greedy, but they are embarrassed to join the children's team, so they have to spend money to buy it with the fourth team.

One of the most impressive is Sun Juan, who is not soft when she spends money to buy bayberry, and she buys a lot of money every time, and she picks the best and largest one.

She seems to love bayberry very much, and she doesn't care even if she is sour.

Since she came to the Alpine Brigade, she has had one or two packages every half month.

There is food and drink in the package, and such a gap in life has gradually alienated Sun Juan from other educated youths, and she is also secretly concerned by the members.

It's just bayberry, which completely shows the gap between the rich and the poor among the educated youth.
