There is a mud courtyard at the back of the hall, and some broken bricks are spread on the ground, leading to the kitchen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gu Yiwei was full of water and strode on the broken brick road.

In addition to this road, the courtyard is full of mud, in the early days of the rainstorm sucked water, Gu Yiwei wore rubber shoes walked a few times, the rubber soles turned up a small handful of mud sticking to the surface of the soil, now the ground is dried, the small soil is still stubborn on the floor, showing the mud at that time.

In the cracks of the broken brick road, a purslane stubbornly emerged, spreading out on the brick surface, and it was not stepped on by Gu Yiwei. The broken brick road twists and turns, dividing the earthen courtyard into two halves. A peach tree was planted on one side, and a chicken coop was originally built in the corner on the other side, which was demolished after Gu Yiwei moved over, and now it looks quite refreshing, when he doesn't use a motorcycle, he will push the motorcycle through the side door and park.

There is a large water tank in a corner of the yard all the year round, and Gu Yiwei's aunt also used pickles when she was at home, but now she completely discards them. On the brown glazed surface crawled slowly a soft yellow-white slug, at first glance, I thought it was a thin withered bamboo leaf on the tank. After the rain two days ago, a tank full of water was stored, and Gu Yiwei didn't have time to pour the water out, and there were really two or three bamboo leaves floating on the water from behind the house. Because the bottom of the tank is often not exposed to sunlight, there is some moss.

Gu Yiwei put the big bowl on the stove, turned around to the wooden lattice window, pulled down a towel hanging on the nylon string, covered his head and face and wiped it twice, walked out to the bedroom next door to the hall and changed into clean clothes, and the dirty clothes were rolled up into a ball and thrown into the basin in the kitchen.

He walked to the outfield, and when he saw that Chen Chi and his party were about to arrive, Wang Rui raised his hand excitedly and shouted: "Brother Wei." ”

"One way. Chen Chi smiled, "Let's come over for a walk after dinner, are you busy?"

"Nothing busy, you sit. Gu Yiwei beckoned, came out of the hall with a bamboo chair in one hand, he looked at the number of people, and was about to turn around and move the stool.

"Enough is enough, Yiwei, don't take it, we'll leave in a while. ”

Gu Yiwei smiled, entered the back room, put a red and yellow striped woven bag piled up on the bench on the ground, looked around, and couldn't find the rag. It rained heavily that night, and his rags were used to wipe the water stains everywhere, and he had no time to collect them, so he still threw them on the bamboo poles in the outfield.

He brushed the stool with his palm. The stool was an old wooden stool, unpainted, and the logs were bare on the outside, decades old, and weather-beaten. At one end of the stool there is a mark of a planed knot. There are some small pits along the texture of the bench surface, and dust can easily get stuck in them.

Gu Yiwei opened the zipper of the woven bag, and took out a pair of thin cotton socks in summer and autumn from it, and when he saw that there were no holes, he reached in and fished out another pair, found a sock with a hole, and wiped the stool back and forth with the sock without a hole. Then he crumpled the pair of socks that had been reduced to rags and stuffed them into the miscellaneous items under the table of the Eight Immortals.

He put up a stool and went out, and saw Chen Chi standing in the center of the field, overlooking the citrus grove of the Wang family at the bottom of the slope, while Wang Rui was squatting next to the dustpan under the root of the wall, twisting the perilla leaves with his small hands.

"Rui Yanzi, don't touch it, it will break the leaves. Xu Shuangchuan followed, squatted down, and the large water-red skirt was spread to the ground. Gu Yiwei glanced over, and only when he got close could he see that the lower width of the skirt was sparsely hooked with a pale crimson vertical curly branch lotus, and when he started, there must have been a sense of flowers blooming in a pleated skirt.

"It's okay, I don't want it in the first place. He smiled generously. This shiso was put in the pile of tiles by his brother, and when he brought it back, he threw it in a dustpan, and he didn't bother to take it in at night. "Sit down, y'all. He said politely.

Chen Chi turned around when he heard the sound, glanced at the frost, and saw that her skirt was dragging the ground, knowing that she had some little cleanliness habits, and did not remind her at the moment, so as not to make her annoyed, he only greeted: "Rui Yanzi, your brother brought you a stool, why don't you come and sit down?"

Wang Rui especially likes to stick to the frost, and when she sits down on the bamboo chair, he will go to her lap.

"Come here. Chen Chi grabbed him with his long hand and pulled him to his knee and sat down, "Your aunt is afraid of heat." ”

Wang Rui sat obediently for two seconds, then twisted his little body and slid down.

Gu Yiwei suddenly remembered the peach tree in the backyard, and there were a lot of peaches on it. The tree species was not selected well, his aunt's family planted it casually, and the peach blossoms in March were very beautiful, but the fruit was light, so he picked some and gave them to his younger brother to eat, and he could no longer sell them. However, picking one down for Wang Rui to eat and play with can also give the little hairy child something to do.

Wang Rui heard that Gu Yi only wanted to pick peaches, and shouted to follow up. The child looked east and west, not paying much attention to the peaches, but pointed to a lump of yellow and transparent things on the trunk of the tree and said happily: "But brother, peel this off for me, my aunt likes it." ”

Gu Yiwei was surprised: "Peach gum?"

Wang Rui nodded heavily, the child's heart was straight, but everything he saw asked Gu Yiwei to take it down, he held a handful in his little hand, and ran out with a cigarette: "Auntie, auntie, but my brother's house also has peach gum." ”

Chen Chi picked up a piece of peach gum that Wang Rui accidentally spilled, blew it, and asked funny, "What do you want this for?"

"I saw that there were peach trees in my grandfather's house, so I was curious to pick some of them, and it was said that they could be boiled to make a mask. Xu Shuangchuan finished saying this, and when he saw Gu Yiwei stepping out with a plastic basket, he stopped talking embarrassedly.

"I picked some peaches, let's try them. ”

"Yiwei, don't be so polite, my grandfather's family also has it. Chen Chi turned his head and smiled.

"The peach trees in the yard grow on their own, and I'm worried that there will be no one to eat. Gu Yiwei replied and went to the faucet to rinse.

"The peach tree of the grandfather's house grew so big, bigger than my brother's house, and it was broken off by my aunt. Wang Rui said ostentatiously.

Xu Shuang was really embarrassed, the child just couldn't know what was going on, so he turned his head and spread it. "My uncle said that grandpa's peaches can be picked casually. She explained.

Chen Chi understands her logic very well, the peaches are picked casually, and a little peach gum can naturally be taken casually, but in the past few days, he has helped his uncle clean up the orchard, and he didn't know that she had collected these things.

"Where are you hiding? Did you remove the black lump from it?" he laughed.

"How do you know that there are black lumps on it?" Xu Shuangchuan puffed out her eyes, she was really afraid that things in the wild would not be able to tell clearly, so she found two plastic bags and wrapped them in the outer pocket of the suitcase, so as not to stain her and Chen Chi's clothes.

"How don't I know? I used to eat it when I was a kid. ”

"What does it smell like?" Xu Shuangchuan asked curiously.

Chen Chi thought about it sideways, and confessed: "It's light, I've eaten too many things, I don't remember much." ”

Gu Yiwei turned off the faucet and turned around, just when he saw Xu Shuang's eyes flowing, his cheeks puffed up slightly, and he glanced at Chen Chi. (To be continued.) )
