Chapter 261: Under the Apricot Tree
"Jiang Li, have you seen the potted plants I planted on the balcony? I wonder if I can ask you to take care of them occasionally when I'm not there, it's very easy to raise. β
"Hmm. β
"Thank you, this is the key to my house. β
Ai Wenjing put a key with a cute bear ornament on Jiang Li's palm, and then under the gaze of him and the others, he took the train to Jinling, Ye Chen chased the train for a long distance, holding on to the pillar, biting his lip, his eyes flashed with tears, except for Jiang Li and his mother, Ai Wenjing was the closest to her in this world.
Jiang Li's hand was gently placed on Ye Chen's shoulder, and he smiled: "It's not life and death, don't be so sad, we will meet again in the future, and we will go to Haiyinda together when the time comes." β
Ye Chen turned his head to stare at Jiang Li, and after a while, he asked softly, "Is it really possible?"
"Of course you can, although your current grades are not very good, but there is still a year to work on, I will let Asuka Records reduce your activities in the next year, so that you can prepare for the college entrance examination, and your musical talent will also become your biggest advantage, you will definitely be able to go to Haiyin University." Jiang Li said seriously.
Ye Chen finally nodded slowly, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said again: "But I want to fulfill a wish in the next year, I wonder if Lu Dao can be realized?"
"What?" you say. Jiang Lidao.
"Concert tour all over the country. Ye Chen's eyes showed a hint of expectation.
"What's so difficult about this, even if you lose money, I'll help you achieve it. Jiang Li smiled, seeing Ye Chen pouting slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his statement, and added, "I was joking just now, with your current popularity." As long as you improve it a little, holding a national tour concert will definitely be full, and I will go with you when the time comes. β
"Liar. Ye Chen whispered.
"Don't you even believe my words?" Jiang Li said pretending to be sad.
"I believe it. Ye Chen lowered his head, clenched the corners of his clothes, and said. "If you go along. β
"Ahh Actually, Jiang Li had already heard it, but he still wanted to tease Ye Chen, this girl's personality was really a bit withdrawn, and she liked to rot things in her stomach too much, just like a moonlight flower that she admired herself.
Ye Chen's face turned red, he was embarrassed, bypassed Jiang Li, and deliberately ignored him. Run to everyone.
Jiang Li touched his chin and smiled, and then saw Ripple coming over, grabbed the corner of his clothes, raised his delicate face, and said seriously: "Brother, I want to go to grandpa's house." β
"Uh...... ...... so suddenly" Jiang Li suddenly stopped talking, because he saw a trace of expectation, reluctance and nostalgia in the eyes of the ripples. This girl, apparently, wanted to do something before she was about to leave. As her dear brother, how could she not agree.
"Okay, no problem, let's go today, how about it?" Jiang Li said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Ripple nodded happily.
Muyang Town, an ordinary town on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, has beautiful scenery. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Jiang Li's grandfather Jiang Hongdao lived there, and it was also a place where Jiang Li and Lianyi often went to play when they were children, especially in summer.
Although Tang Shishi still wanted to join in the fun, Jiang Li didn't bring anyone this time. Only set off to Muyang Town with Ripples, and he wanted to be alone with his sister in the last days.
Jiang Hongdao's home is on the mountain, with a bamboo forest in front and an orchard in the back, he likes this natural and secluded environment, so even if Jiang Li's parents have built him a building next to the road in the town, he does not live in it, but lives in a wooden house built by himself on the mountain.
"Grandpaβ" Ripples shouted affectionately as they ran to the wooden house through a verdant bamboo forest.
Jiang Hongdao, who was in good spirits, walked out of the house when he heard the news, snorted, and said, "Why are you here? Don't say hello, I don't have anything to eat for you." β
Jiang Li smiled slightly and said, "We are here today, of course grandpa, you are resting, we will prepare a meal for you." β
"Yes, yes, grandpa is so stingy, we will dig bamboo shoots by ourselves. Ripple waved her little fist and pouted as she picked up a bamboo basket and two small hoes from the house.
Then Jiang Li and Ripple walked hand in hand towards the bamboo forest, only to hear Ripple singing happily: "The little girl who picks bamboo shoots, carrying a big bamboo basket, walks all over the woods and hills with bare feet in the early morning, she picks the most bamboo shoots, as many as the stars, and the bamboo shoots she picks are the largest, as big as the ......."
"Like what?" Jiang Li said with a smile.
Ripples suddenly looked at Jiang Li's lower body, which made him feel terrified, this girl wouldn't think of his thing, but she tilted her head, and suddenly smiled slyly: "Like rhinoceros horns, like a capital A!"
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Ripple had already squatted down and started digging bamboo shoots, while continuing to sing happily: "Thia Luo Li Thi Luo Mi ......"
"Stuff my brother's bad stuff into the basket. Ripples sang and sang such a sentence, which startled Jiang Li again.
"Ripples, what did you just sing?" Jiang Li asked uncertainly.
"Ahh Ripple looked innocent and authentic, looking innocent and cute.
"Uh...... All right. Jiang Li couldn't cry or laugh, could it really be that he was hallucinating? Ripple flashed a trace of cunning in his eyes, smiled without saying a word, and carefully picked up the bamboo shoots covered with soil with his white little hands, as if holding a treasure.
Ripples in a snow-white sundress were like angels in this dark bamboo forest, floating in Jiang Li's heart, he and Ripples dug bamboo shoots together, without saying a word, listening to each other's singing from time to time, or staring at each other seriously, as if to completely imprint her voice and smile.
Jiang Hongdao sat on the rattan chair in front of the house, quietly watching his grandchildren busy in the bamboo forest, with a rare smile of relief on his rigid face.
The air is like a spring flowing slowly in the mountains, quiet and refreshing.
The two of them were busy for a while, and then went to the vegetable field next to them to pick some vegetables, and just when they were about to start cooking, they were stopped by Jiang Hongdao, and he said angrily: "What kind of food will you two little children cook, flash it, I don't want to be eaten by your food at a large age." β
"Hmph! Grandpa is a big villain. It's not delicious if you make it yourself. Ripple snorted dissatisfied.
"Little girl, the wings are stiff, aren't they?" Jiang Hongdao saw that he was poked at the point, and snorted, "It's another matter if it's delicious or not, at least it won't hurt your stomach." β
"Neither will we!" Ripple continued.
Jiang Li rubbed Ripple's head and pulled her behind him. smiled at Jiang Hongdao: "Grandpa, at least we can help you." β
"Well, okay then. Jiang Hongdao actually feels sorry for his grandchildren, but he won't say this kind of thing.
The three of them were busy, and finally got lunch, which was placed on the log table, with four dishes and one soup, which looked full of color, flavor, and taste, but it was quite hearty.
Had lunch. Jiang Li and Ripple came to the orchard behind, it was the season of apple ripening, the red apples were delightful, Ripple picked one, wiped it on Jiang Li's clothes and gnawed it directly, and then the two came to the middle of the orchard together, where there was an eight-meter-high apricot tree, which was said to be more than fifty years old. It is the hallmark of this orchard.
"It's a pity, if you came earlier. You should be able to eat fresh and ripe apricots, but now they are all gone. Jiang Lidao.
"It's not like you haven't eaten the big basket of apricots that grandpa gave me before, and I'm about to vomit when I eat it. Ripple stuck out his tongue and circled around the apricot tree, and suddenly a blush appeared on his face, and he said quietly. "Now, brother, do you remember the scene when you used to play here?"
"Of course I do. Jiang Li sat on a rock next to him and said with a smile, "Didn't we play here in the first place? You can buy fruits to eat, but it turned out to be a lot of waste, and after the worst, I was chased all over the mountains by my grandfather with a small bamboo. β
"And then......" Ripple hid behind the thick trunk of the almond tree, quietly poked his head out, and said expectantly.
And then ...... There are other games, such as using apricots to fight apricots, which are used like snowballs, but it really hurts to hit someone, and once you get smashed in the head, crying, and then I have a hard fight with that guy. Jiang Li said cautiously, these are the memories of his previous life, he is afraid that it has not happened in this life, so isn't it a goof? However, Ripple did not show any suspicious and surprised expression, but was a little lonely, and did not seem to say what she wanted to hear.
Jiang Li suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "We have also caught Zhizhi, you listen, there is still Zhizhi calling on the tree now, I remember that you also said that we should not catch Zhizhi at the beginning, because this will destroy the home that the spiders have worked so hard to weave." β
The rippled eyes darkened even more, leaning against the trunk of the almond tree, her skirt fluttering in the mountain breeze, she looked into the distance, as if looking at the childhood that was gone forever.
Jiang Li suddenly stood up, walked over, pressed her on the rippling and bare shoulders with both hands, pressed her against the tree, lowered his head and asked gently, "What's wrong?" β
Ripple raised his delicate face, stared at Jiang Li for a while, and suddenly closed his eyes without saying a word, his body trembling slightly.
Jiang Li was a little dazed for a while, he didn't know what Lu Dao Ripples meant by this, and suddenly, he suddenly thought of something, this familiar scene, wasn't it the time he kissed Ripples in his memory?
Could it be that Ripple still wants him to kiss her again?
The cherry red moist lips were close at hand, undoubtedly sweeter and more seductive than when he was a child, but now that they were both older, could he kiss his sister as freely as he did when he was a child?
From Jiang Li's current perspective, he could still see the rippling breasts through the loose sundress, and even the two cherries on it, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his mouth was dry, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, even this refreshing mountain breeze lingered.
The mottled shadows of the trees swayed and intertwined on Jiang Li's and Ripples' faces, the lush leaves were blown by the wind, and he was still singing tirelessly, Jiang Li's eyes suddenly became firm, and he lowered his head a little, and then ......
Boom.
With a dull sound, Jiang Li's forehead and the rippling forehead gently collided together, pressing against each other, feeling each other's breath and temperature.
That year, now, under the almond tree.
You and I have grown up. (To be continued......)
