Chapter Eighty-Eight, Hometown Fun (I)
came out of the house to eat in the South Courtyard, my mother knew that they were coming back, and the meal had been ready, Xiaofei still maintained her freshness, and she was very happy to jump and jump all the time. Chen Shu did not go out after answering the phone, but had dinner with his family.
"Who's calling? It's the sea dragon again, right?"
|“ I saw them when I entered the village, and beckoned me to go to the town to drink, and I will talk about what I drink at noon, and I will talk about it in the evening!" Chen Shu said to his parents with a smile.
Parents also know what Chen Shu means, now when they are harvesting wheat, who has time to run blindly, although their own land is no longer planted, but other people's families have something to do! After lunch, Wang Zilan took Xiaofei to the building to rest, Chen Shu accompanied his grandfather to rest for a while, and then went to the back building.
When he came out, his grandfather and Chen Shu walked out of the house together, and Chen Shu helped him to the new house in the back. "I have built two new houses in my life, the old house of your uncle's family and the old house we used to live in, and the new house has been lived in several places. Hey, hey, hey!"
"I came to live in the original house on the back floor first, and I lived in it for more than ten years, and then after your brother's house was built, I also lived in it, and let me live in a new house for two years. I can't walk anymore, you kid has built such a beautiful building, I can't imagine that I can live in such a good house in my life!"
"The house is renovated and the weather is hot, your mother and they have made the bed for me in the back, but it is much cooler than here, if only your grandmother could live a few more years! ”
Chen Shu helped his grandfather open the easternmost door, only to find that the ground was not paved with floor tiles, and suddenly remembered that his parents were worried that the ground would slip after the bricks were laid, so they did not pave the bricks! The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the new house was four or five degrees, and it felt very cool when I entered the house.
"Go ahead, leave me alone, I'll just sit!" Chen Shu helped his grandfather sit on the bed before leaving.
"Mom, are there cucumbers growing in our yard? Why didn't I see cucumbers growing on it? Where are the tomatoes that my uncle said?" Chen Shu opened the door and before he entered the house, he heard Xiaofei still asking his mother questions.
"The yard is planted with cucumbers, let's rest first when it's hot at noon, and when it's a little cooler, let my uncle take you to our yard to find it, okay?
"Xiaofei, it's too hot outside, let's take a nap first, and when we get up, my uncle will take you to find it, okay?" After Chen Shu came in, he also lay on the bed. Xiaofei looked at Chen Shu, smiled and closed her eyes and prepared to sleep!
Although Xiaofei slept in the car for a while, she still slept very deeply after falling asleep, and it just so happened that Chen Shu and Wang Zilan could rest with confidence for a while, and gradually the two of them also fell asleep.
When the two of them woke up, it was already half past three in the afternoon, Chen Shu got up and went to the yard to take a look, the cucumbers in the yard were growing very well, and the melon vines had already climbed all over the shelves. Although there are not many plants and only two, they are basically enough for daily cooking at home.
Chen Shu circled around the shelf and found that there were three or four cucumbers almost a foot high from the ground, and they had already grown almost, and they had been picked and eaten, but Chen Shu thought about it for a while and still didn't pick it, wait a while for Xiaofei to wake up and let her pick it herself!
However, the tomatoes in the yard were planted a little later, and none of them were reddened yet, and it seemed that they were still ripe! Before Chen Shu could continue to look for them, he heard Wang Zilan in the house shouting to himself, and Chen Shu also heard the ringing of his mobile phone, and hurriedly walked to the house. Although Wang Zilan answered the phone quickly, Xiaofei was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone.
"Chen Shu! I saw Li Hailong just now, and he said that you are back, do you have something to do at night? Let's go to the town to eat barbecue? I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I just happened to be back, let's go have a drink." It was Liu Jiangyong who called, but Chen Shu thought of Liu Jiangyong's attitude at the last party, and he didn't want to get together with this kind of person.
"Okay, who's going to go? But let's go back, and the driver can't drink, or I'd rather not go, and I can't drink beer, and if something happens, it's too late to regret it." Chen Shu thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go, even if he didn't like it, there were several other elementary school classmates.
If you don't go, I'm afraid there will be rumors soon: "Chen Shu is rich, he doesn't take the gang in the village seriously at all, and he doesn't go to eat and say hello several times, it seems that he can't get rich anymore!"
The only bad thing about rural people is this, after all, the countryside is different from the past, except for the harvest and sowing season, people basically don't have much to do, and many parents gossip is spread at this time.
"Uncle, do you think we have any cucumbers at home? Why didn't I see tomatoes?" Xiaofei woke up, still thinking about what Chen Shu said, and got up from the bed and began to ask about it.
"How could it not be, we have it in our yard, it's just that Xiaofei didn't look at herself, let's go! Uncle will take you to pick cucumbers." After speaking, he took Xiaofei's little hand and walked out of the house, and Wang Zilan followed closely and came out of the house.
When they arrived at the side of the small vegetable garden, Chen Shu pointed to the tomatoes and said, "These are tomatoes, but they are not ripe yet, so they can't be eaten! When they are ripe, they will not be so green and white, and they will turn red." But our cucumbers are ready to eat, so you go under the cucumber rack to see if there are any that can be picked. ”
Xiaofei had never seen green tomatoes, so she looked at it for a long time before leaving to go to the cucumber rack, and walked slowly along the cucumber rack, and soon saw a big cucumber. "Can I take it off?"
"Of course you can, that's our family. After getting Chen Shu's answer, his little hand reached out to the cucumber, feeling a little prickly, and then looked at Chen Shu again.
"Isn't it a little prickly? Look at the place where there are no thorns, grab it with your hand and break it to the side, and it will come down as soon as you exert yourself!" Chen Shu and Wang Zilan watched from the side, and they didn't mean to help, Xiaofei pulled off the cucumber according to what Chen Shu said, and ran out with it.
Chen Shu hurriedly took the cucumber, then strangled off the thorns on the cucumber with his hands, took it to the water tank and scooped a scoop of water, washed it and broke off half of it, handed the rest to Xiaofei, and gave the other half to Wang Zilan.
"It's still freshly picked and delicious, or how can so many people pay a high price to pick the garden. However, the picking garden is relatively sparse, and it is easy to pick!" Wang Zilan said with a smile.
"It is a trend to get picking gardens in the countryside around the city, I am afraid that in the future, it will not only be limited to vegetables, maybe fruits will also be grown in greenhouses in the future, especially peaches!" Chen Shu said so simply, I didn't expect it to be true.
The three of them came out of the courtyard and walked to the south courtyard, asking my mother who still has strawberries, although they are basically ripe at this time, but it is inevitable that there are late ripe, mainly because they are all heavy in their own yards, basically not covered with plastic film to keep warm, and the ripe ones are relatively late.
