Chapter 39: Lychee

Chapter 39 Lychee

The first few lychee seedlings on the island have now grown into large trees, and many new lychee seedlings have been sent out around the island.

Ten days have passed since I planted lychees and hung fruits, and it seems that these trees have already borne one or two rounds, but Li Junge missed the fruit period every time he came in, and he didn't see it.

There are also a lot of small seedlings around the white tea tree, which are new discoveries.

Moving the seedlings to the earth, Li Junge saw that the lychee tree was blooming with small flowers, so he simply took a look at the fruit today.

When you look at the island from the top of the lake, the situation on the island appears as if you were fast-forwarding.

First, the flowers were gone, and then some small green fruits with the size of peppercorns were produced.

The small green fruits gradually grew larger, one by one, pulling the branches down gradually.

The fruit grows large enough and begins to slowly change color.

First it was blue, then it slowly turned yellow, and one by one it hung on the branches.

Then, Li Junge found that there were lychees that began to fall.

"Ouch, can't wait any longer. "It's all starting to fall, and the lychee is ripe, and Li Junge immediately cut himself into the island.

Li Junge stood under the tree, and he was distracted.

The island is full of fresh lychees.

Li Junge took a breath, and the unique sweet fragrance of lychees came.

"It smells so good!" Li Junge looked up at the fruitful lychee tree: "But why is it this color? And it's too big!"

Each lychee is the size of an egg, and the fruit is bright yellow with a few traces of green, which is very beautiful.

When I pick a lychee and peel it off, the crystal flesh is like a clear jelly, and the brown and red lychee core inside can be faintly seen.

As soon as it is removed, the sweet fragrance on the tip of the nose is even stronger.

When I took a bite of the lychee, a sweet taste spread in my mouth, and then every taste bud seemed to cheer.

"It's so delicious!" Li Junge finished eating two bites and threw the kernel away. I started eating like crazy.

Eating until his stomach was bulging, Li Junge lay under the tree, looking at a few fruitful lychees and worried.

I can't tell where this thing came from, so I can't move it out.

"Forget it, I'll have to figure it out later. Li Junge twitched the corner of his mouth, picked a few catties of lychees, and prepared to take them out for the lobby brothers to try.

Coming out of the island, looking back, the island began to fast forward again, watching the egg-sized lychees fall down, and after a while, Li Junge felt that his heart was twitching.

"That's it, Lao Tzu will be a seedling!" Li Junge immediately cut out of the space.

Carrying a bag of lychees downstairs, Li Junge saw his nephew Li Yuning and niece Li Yuduo coming in together.

Li Yuning is the son of Brother Lobby, Li Yuduo is the daughter of Brother Lobby, because the two cousins are working outside, so Li Yuduo is taken care of by Brother Lobby and studying in the county.

Yu Ning is fourteen this year, and Yu Duo is ten years old this year.

"Come on, come on, it's raining a lot, come and taste Uncle Xiaotang's newly bought lychee. ”

When Li Yuning saw Li Junge, he hurriedly ran over, jumped straight with Li Junge in his arms, and said, "Uncle Xiaotang, you haven't been back for a long time!

Yu Duo followed behind and shouted, "Uncle Xiaotang." "But he looked a little shy.

Li Junge took off the schoolbags of the two of them and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, come out and eat lychees after washing, ouch, the schoolbags of the two of you are heavy enough." ”

After finishing, he shouted to the back kitchen: "Brother Lobby, sister-in-law in the lobby, Liu Sanwa Wang Fatty, rest for a while, hurry up and come out to try something new." ”

The sister-in-law in the lobby came out first, wiped her hand on her apron, and said, "What did you buy, I was surprised, yo, why is this lychee so big!"

Brother Lobby also came out, looked at the lychee and said, "This is not ripe yet, is it? Why is it not red? And it will take a month for the Jiachuan lychee to come out." ”

Li Junge said: "I don't know this, I saw an old man selling it on the street, so that's it, I'll wrap it up." ”

This is everyone coming out, Li Yuning and Li Yuduo also jumped out, shouting in their mouths: "Eat lychee! Eat lychee! Yo, this lychee is so big." ”

The sister-in-law in the lobby first peeled one for Li Yuduo, but asked her son to peel it himself, and then peeled one herself.

Brother Lobby ate it first, took a bite, and said, "This lychee is delicious, it tastes better than at home." ”

The sister-in-law in the lobby also tasted it and said, "It's so delicate, it's fragrant and sweet, there's no sourness, I've never seen this variety." ”

Li Yuning jumped up there and shouted: "Uncle Xiaotang, this is the most delicious lychee I've ever tasted!"

The sister-in-law in the lobby was attentive and hurriedly asked, "Piwa, how much did you buy these catties of lychees?"

There is a reason for this question, some of the best lychees in Jiachuan County can be sold for two or three hundred and one catties, and the most exaggerated ones can be thousands, if these lychees on the table are the best, the price of these catties will be incredible, if Li Junge spends money like this, the sister-in-law in the lobby will have to ask, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

Li Junge hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I bought it from an old farmer on the street, and I don't know where he got it, so I gave ten yuan a catty." ”

Brother Lobby said: "Then this is picked up! Once again, I sent chicken soup to the secretary's daughter-in-law, and they gave me a few pieces of green, saying that they were hundreds of pounds, and I couldn't compare to this." ”

Li Junge smiled: "Really? If everyone thinks this is good, then they will give me all the nuclei later, and I will take them home and plant them." ”

Li Yuning jumped up with joy again: "That's great! So that this kind of lychee is eaten every year!"

The sister-in-law in the lobby patted him on the head and said, "You fool, you will get ten years from planting lychees to hanging fruit in the soil! ”

Li Yuning said with a sad face: "It's been so long?!" After a while, he said: "Wow! I will be twenty-four by then! You will be twenty when it rains!"

The sister-in-law in the lobby said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and finish eating, go upstairs and do your homework!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, this breed can't pop up inexplicably, maybe it will be everywhere in two years." ”

A few catties of lychees are a lot, but they can't stand the size, one or two are one, two or two, and each person is less than ten, and they will be eaten after a while.

Li Junge put away the kernels, and it was time for dinner, so he wrapped his apron and acted as a junior in the store.

When I came to the hospital that night, I found that Wang Xiaosong's parents had finally arrived from other places, and Li Junge was also relieved, the baby's parents had arrived, and he could be regarded as a messenger.

Wang Xiaosong's father's name is Wang Qingguo, and he followed others to run the boat in Yizhou, and his wife Zhu Fanmei also followed him to cook on the boat.

When Li Junge came in, Zhu Fanmei was hugging Wang Xiaosong and crying like a tearful person, and Wang Qingguo was also holding Uncle Yao's hand next to him and crying.

Wang Xiaosong himself is fine, his parents are back, and his mood is obviously happier than a few days ago.

Seeing Li Junge coming in, Wang Qingguo was about to pull him to give Xiao Song a guarantee.

Bao Bao is a godfather, this is also an old custom, children are afraid of difficult to raise, generally to find a godfather, as the saying goes, "La Bao Bao", according to Wang Qingguo's words, Wang Xiaosong's life is Li Junge to get back, this kindness has to be remembered, then Xiao Song will be Li Junge's half son in the future.

Li Junge excused himself again and again, and said: "Brother Qingguo, this is not suitable, I haven't even married yet." ”

Wang Qingguo said: "There are many godfathers who are not married, and besides, you are knowledgeable and have seen the world, I am also a backer for Xiao Song, and I will have to worry about you in the future." ”

Uncle Pharmacist also said: "My godfather has also recognized it, and I think I can afford to be your godfather." ”

Li Junge said to Wang Qingguo: "Brother Qingguo, you have said so, if I don't recognize this godfather, then I will look down on people, then okay, I will ask Xiao Song if he is willing." ”

Wang Xiaosong lay on the hospital bed, smiled happily, and said, "Godfather, don't worry, I will be obedient in the future, and I won't embarrass you!"

Li Junge touched his head and said with a smile: "You, you are too well-behaved and sensible!"

As he was talking, Wang Xue, a reporter from Shudu Daily, came, so several people began to be interviewed again.

After getting these, Li Junge and Uncle Pharmacist were ready to leave, Wang Qingguo and his family wanted to send it, and a few people pushed at the door for a long time, Wang Qingguo left Zhu Fanmei to take care of Xiao Song, and sent a few people out by himself.

Along the way, Li Junge asked Wang Qingguo about his future plans.

Wang Qingguo sighed: "This time it really scared me, although Xiaosong is sensible, but after all, he is still an eleven-year-old baby, the two of us are not going to go out this time, alas, let's come back and continue farming." ”

Uncle Pharmacist also sighed: "It's okay to go out in a few years, the baby is not guarded by his parents, which is really unreassuring." ”

Wang Qingguo sighed: "It's the handlebar style that I have learned for a few years, and now it's going to be wasted." ”

Uncle Pharmacist and Li Junge comforted Wang Qingguo that it was still important for the child, and he would talk about it later, so he said goodbye to Wang Qingguo at the gate of the hospital.

The next day, I sent Uncle Pharmacist to the wharf, and saw that the first flood peak had passed, the water had receded a lot, and the shore near the water was full of thick thin mud.

The stone steps were cleared out, and the fifth cousin Shi Baoquan stood on the iron boat and watched the workers load the goods.

Seeing the two of them coming, Shi Baoquan said: "Hurry up and pull some while Hong Feng is down, there are a lot of goods today, but I don't dare to get on the top." Then he said: "But there is a big boat over there, which is to transport flood control materials to Panao Township, I see most of the empty, I know the boss of the boat, and I have explained it to him clearly, you go to him." ”

The two went to find the boss of the boat over there, the boss of the boat was a big man, named Dong Yukun, a man of forty years, with a beard on his face, and he was familiar with the Longmen Array for a while, Li Junge entrusted Uncle Yao to him, and went back to the county by himself.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Li Junge called Wang Congjun and Zhu Chaoan and asked them out for dinner.

The three of them meet at a night beer.

Li Junge ordered a lot of braised crayfish and snails, and a few vegetarian dishes such as edamame, peanuts, and lotus root, plus a box of beer, waiting for them to come.

After a while, the two came, and Zhu Chaoan also brought a beautiful girl with a uniform and skirt, and it seemed that she was pulled over directly after getting off work.
