Chapter 238: Apple Picking

The next day, it rained, and the yard accumulated a lot of water. The rain line www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion is like a string of pearls, hanging from the sky to the ground.

When Duanmu Ling left, she didn't know. When she returned to the room in the morning, the bed had no temperature, and if it weren't for the messy wrinkles of the brocade quilt, she would have thought that he hadn't stayed at all last night.

Also, now the three princes of the capital are staring at him, and their every move can arouse their suspicion. So he had no choice but to come at night and then go back again before people found out.

Although he complained that she didn't tell him when she came back, he also knew that it was safest for her to stay in this village. So he never said anything about taking her back.

Because it was raining, he couldn't go out, so Yun Tianhua took the book and looked at it. Liu's mother took the needle and thread and sat at the table to make shoes.

Chaochun came in with tea, saw the shoes in her hand, and said strangely: "Mother Liu is making shoes for the eldest lady again, but these shoes seem to be small." ”

Mother Liu turned her head to look at the back room and said, "The eldest lady's feet used to be a little fatter, but now they are so thin, if the shoes are as big as before, they won't be able to wear them." ”

"Yes. By the way, when did the prince leave this morning?"

Mother Liu shook her head, "I don't know, that one always comes and goes silently, and even the eldest lady herself doesn't know, how can I know." But I don't think the prince should come so recklessly, this man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and it is not a good thing to always meet in the same room. ”

Chao Chun chuckled, "Mom, the eldest lady didn't say anything, but you were in a hurry." The eldest lady is a measured person, you, you are too careful. ”

"Oh, I hope so!"

The back room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of flipping books. It's like a ripple on a calm lake from time to time, without causing much of a ripple.

Since that night, Duanmu Ling has not come back. Yun Tianhua guessed that he should have something important to do, although he was a little disappointed, but more worried.

In late June, the school was completed.

There are a lot of children who go to school, and it should be that the children in Zhuangzi are here. The parents paid 50 yuan for the bundle, and some also took grain, vegetables or eggs to pay.

The gentleman also symbolically said two opening words, and then began to teach. At first, some parents stood out the window and watched, but after a while, they went back to work. I only hope that my son will be able to write two words in the future and find a decent job in the city.

In the morning, Yun Tianhua invited a Zhuangzi person to eat on the open-air threshing floor, and a total of five tables were gathered.

In July, it is the height of summer, the hottest time of the year.

The apples in the orchard were ripe, and Yun Tinghua wanted to pick them on a whim.

Liu's mother was scared half to death, saying that she was not in good health, don't suffer from heat stroke when the time comes, and it will be even more empty. Yun Tianhua thinks about it, but she really wants to experience it herself. Liu's mother was helpless, and said that she would go early and come back before the sun was poisoned.

So early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, the group went to the orchard on the mountain.

Yun Tianhua wore a pair of narrow-sleeved shorts, which was very neat. Her hair was also coiled on the top of her head, and she also wore a straw hat made of bamboo on her head, and the whole thing was dressed as a village woman.

Even Zhao Liangyi smiled and said that if her skin was a little darker, she would be a complete village girl.

The midsummer sun comes out early, but it already reaches the top of the mountain by midnight, and it is so bright that people can't look at it directly.

The orchard belonged to the owner's family and was not rented out. At most, when it is the harvest season, people from the Zhuangzi are hired to pick it. But there aren't many people needed, and three or four people are enough. So according to the previous rules, this year it will be these four families, next year it will be the other four, and so on. In this way, everyone can earn money, and no one will suffer.

I have to say that when Chen Erzhu was managing this Zhuangzi, he was really dedicated, fair and just, and did not form gangs and favoritism.

Yun Qianhua has always thought that picking apples is to pick them by hand. After I came, I realized that if I picked them one by one, my fingers would hurt if they didn't break.

"The eldest lady hasn't done this before, right?" said the mother of the two sunspots, "This apple picking is cut with big scissors." Lo and behold, put the scissors a little on top of the apple, subtract the sprig, and you're good to go. If you tear them off one by one with your hands, the skin of your hands will break. ”

However, some people also ripped it off directly by hand, and the speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to be half basketed.

Erhei Ziniang said: "Our Zhuang family is used to doing rough work, and if our hands are rough, it will be fine." ”

"Miss, it's so sweet, do you want to taste it?"

Before I could pick a few apples, I had already taken a few bites on the winter night. The eyebrows and eyes smiled like a crescent moon, as if they were eating not apples, but some kind of fairy dew.

The crescent moon itself picked one and took a bite, and then showed the same expression as the winter evening, "Well, it's really sweet." ”

The apple was crispy, and there was a mouthful of juice on the corner of his mouth, which even Yun Tinghua felt sweet when he looked at it.

The crescent moon has been playing with the winter evening for a long time, and I often come to the other village. Slowly, I got used to it, I was not so afraid of Yun Tianhua, and sometimes I joked childishly.

Yun Tianhua, a cabbage, naturally can't pick apples as fast as the villagers who are quick with their hands and feet, she picks half a frame at most, and she is already the third basket.

The apples they had plucked were placed on the side of the road, and one person took them to the other villages. Then the men will take them to the market and sell them.

"Miss, let's take a saliva!" Liu's mother handed her a kettle.

Yun Tianhua took it with a smile, raised his head and took a sip. By this time, the sun had already risen halfway up the mountain, and in a little while it would be where they were now.

Liu's mother was worried all morning, handing towels and wiping sweat, and handing water bottles, for fear that Yun Tianhua would have a chance.

Yun Tianhua handed her the kettle again, and said with relief: "Mother Liu, it's okay, isn't it good for me? ”

"I won't eat it. "She had to watch her.

As soon as the words fell, there was an exclamation of the winter evening ahead, "Ahhh......hh

Yun Tianhua was startled, and looked at the winter evening inexplicably, ah, what, what the hell?

But no, the current expression of the winter evening is like seeing a ghost. His hands covered his mouth, his pupils dilated, and his face was frightened. Looking at the full moon next to her, she also had the same expression, and her fingers were still trembling and pointing at her.

Yun Tianhua was puzzled, and glanced at himself, there was nothing wrong!

"Mother Liu, ...... you" She looked at Mother Liu, but saw that Mother Liu also had the same expression, and looked behind her with a trembling mouth, and she didn't dare to sigh. The oppressive tension in the air made her heart sink and she thought about it.

Yun Tianhua slowly turned his head at the speed of a snail, and out of the corner of his eye, it was actually an emerald green snake. It was perched on a branch, its two black eyes were particularly terrifying, and it spat out letters from time to time.

Yun Tianhua only felt cold sweat behind him, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

She remembered what Liu's mother had told her before, that someone in her village had been bitten by a snake, and the snake was poisonous, and one of her legs was cut off to save her life. The doctor said that if it was any longer, his life would be gone.

She regretted it, she should have listened to Liu's mother, she shouldn't have come out.

Beads of sweat flowed from her forehead to her neck, and Yun Tianhua's trembling hands didn't dare to wipe it.
