31. Chapter 31
"Xiao Mu, can I bring my grandparents and grandparents to live for a few days?" Liu Ting walked to Su Mu's side and asked in a low voice.
Su Mu raised his head and said as a matter of course: "Of course you can, it just so happens that my grandfather lives here alone, and I don't feel at ease, it's good to have someone to accompany him." ”
Liu Ting was happy, "The air here is so good, the old people will definitely like it!" I'll tell them when I get back. ”
"And us!" Not to be outdone, several other parents immediately spoke. Just kidding, the medical expenses of the elderly are a necessary expenditure every year, in the case of Sujiazhuang, if you want to come here, you can save it directly, besides, the old man Su is a famous Chinese doctor, and the old people come here to live, it is really a double win.
"Su Lao, is there anyone renting the house next to you? Or sell it. Zhang's mother came up with the idea of a house next to the Su family. Of course, this is also because there is already a precedent for Wang Lao, otherwise she would not dare to ask such a question.
"I really don't know about this, these houses were originally built by the villagers of Sujiazhuang, but in the past ten years, all the people in the village have moved to the city, and some have even moved to the imperial capital, and these houses have been abandoned. It's a bit hard to find someone these days, but if you really want to, I can ask for you. "Su Lao didn't say anything, someone came here to be his companion or something, it's very good.
"Then I'm sorry for you, our family also has to rent." Dad Chen continued.
"Yes, yes, and us." Father Yang and Mother Zhang also spoke in unison.
For a while, everyone at the table discussed around Sujiazhuang's house. As the first to eat crabs, Wang Lao became the center of everyone's inquiry.
"You guys have a lot of vision, it's a good place to stay healthy. The last time the children in my family came to Sujiazhuang, they almost didn't leave, if it wasn't for their work, they couldn't get out of their bodies, but I was afraid that they would have to live here with me for a long time. ”
Wang Lao was not annoyed, but very patiently answered everyone's questions, so that everyone's enthusiasm for moving to Sujiazhuang was higher. Although I didn't really rent a house, this incident has left a deep imprint on the hearts of several parents. Just wait until you get back to the county seat to get started.
After eating and resting a little, Zhang Wenlong and Yang Fan couldn't sit still, and immediately urged Su Mu, "Xiao Mumu, hurry up the mountain, what time is it." ”
Su Mu subconsciously glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall, and the pointer pointed to twelve and fifteen......
"I mean, the sun is so big at noon, are you sure you really want to go up the mountain at this time?" Su Mu supported his forehead, and he couldn't connect with the brain circuits of the two foodies......
"Uh......" Zhang Wenlong was asked, peeking out, and sure enough, the summer noon sun was sparing no effort to shine on the earth, exuding her enthusiasm to this land one by one. Knowing it, he spared no effort to shout: "Death of heat, death of heat!" "It's really upset and wilting.
"Don't worry, rest for a while, wait for about two o'clock in the afternoon before leaving, now let's go take a nap first." I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Su Lao stretched out his hand and touched Yang Fan's big head, for this rare friend who can make Su Mu fall in love, Su Lao still likes it very much.
"Okay!" Looking at the sun outside, several teenagers had to accept the reality and obediently go back to the guest room to rest, as for whether they would be too excited and excited to sleep.
said that it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and at half past one, everyone had already arrived, and when Su Mumei came down after a good night's sleep, he found that the others had gathered in the hall early, and he was already late.
"Wow, aren't you? Is it necessary to be in such a hurry? Su Mu covered his chest with exaggerated hands, looking panicked, he said, he was frightened.
"Of course it's necessary. Let's go! Yang Fan urged impatiently.
Su Mu shook his head, he really couldn't understand how the current people in the city were so concerned about the common scenery in the countryside, so he no longer expressed his opinion. However, before going up the mountain, there were still many things to prepare, so he first took out the hats he had bought earlier and distributed them to everyone one by one. It's past noon, but it's humid in the south, and when the sun is shining outside, the water vapor on the ground is steaming, and when the two are combined, it's easy for people to suffer from heat stroke, especially for those students who are not diligent.
Except for the hat, everyone else is a bamboo pole, with a small cloth bag tied to one end, and each person is given a small bamboo basket.
"What is this for?" Zhang Wenlong swept the long rod in his hand and asked the questions in everyone's hearts.
"Isn't that obvious? For fruit picking! Liu Jie was a little knowledgeable, and he said it in one word.
"Liu Jie is right, this rod and a basket are for everyone to pick fruits, how much you can pick depends on yourself, and how much you pick belongs to you." Su Mu smiled evilly, turned back to Su Xiaoer, who was standing aside, and said, "Little Heizi, lead the way!" ”
One person and one dog led the way in front, and the rest of the people followed, just a few steps, but they were stunned to walk out of the mighty feeling.
Out of the Su family's courtyard, everyone finally remembered that they hadn't looked at Sujiazhuang carefully.
From the air, Sujiazhuang is a very typical "well" shaped layout, two horizontal and two strong four roads of different sizes divide Sujiazhuang into nine irregular fields.
In front of the small courtyard of the Su family, a pond occupies two large pieces of land, a path passes through the middle of the pond, in order to be elegant, Su Mu planted lotus flowers in the pond, after three years of breeding, although there is no spectacular lotus pond of ten miles, but also lotus fragrance bursts, the lotus pond has built a curved corridor with bamboo, two unique hexagonal pavilions stand on both sides, standing near the water. A stream of mountain spring water flows down from a nearby mountain and feeds into the pond.
On a summer night, sit in the pavilion with your family and make a pot of kung fu tea, smell the lotus fragrance, listen to the wind and watch the rain, don't be too leisurely. There are a lot of fish in the pond, and a few drops of spiritual spring water are added to the pond water, and all kinds of creatures in the pond are full of life. Recently, the most common thing Su Lao and Wang Lao do is to find a place to look at their eyes, catch a few fish, and improve their lives, which is very comfortable.
On weekdays, Su Lao and Wang Lao often wander around the medicine garden, tidying up the medicine garden in an orderly manner, and they can't see any weeds or anything.
"Lotus Pond!" Chen Xin's father saw the pond full of lotus flowers outside the courtyard and immediately liked it. After all, Chen's father can be regarded as half a literati, and when he is in the mood, he often writes some articles and sends them to the publishing house to earn some pocket money. For the literati, this kind of extremely elegant thing is extremely attractive to them.
"Yes! In the evening, you can go to the pavilion to drink tea and enjoy the stars. At this time, it was not yet the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Su Mu said this.
The so-called orchard is actually on the hill near Sujiazhuang, which can be seen from a distance, and the hillside full of apple trees is on the left. The way up the mountain is not far from the Su family's courtyard, and it will take five minutes to walk to the foot of the mountain. It is worth mentioning that although all the people in the village have moved out of Sujiazhuang, the roads in the village are all paved with cement, and the path is about two meters wide, just enough for a small car to pass Guò. Like the board car that Su Mu was pulling in his hand at this time, it happened to be able to run two in parallel.
"Is this apple ripe?" Liu Jie asked, pointing to a red apple. Everyone next to them was attracted by the apple that had bent the branches.
"Almost, this is a variety that ripens in September, the timing of your arrival is just right, in two days, the people from the imperial capital will probably come over to buy it." Su Lao said with a smile. The old man was strong and healthy, and his face was not red or out of breath after walking such a short distance, and he could see that the faces of the boys who had just finished military training were almost swollen.
"It was acquired by the second child of the Zhao family in the imperial capital! That kid has a flexible brain, and he is honest, and he is not bad. I have eaten the fruit he bought from Sujiazhuang before, which is a few streets stronger than the second child of the Zhao family who bought it elsewhere before. "Wang Lao is really full of praise for Sujiazhuang.
"Coo-coo......" The sound of a rooster crowing mixed with the fluttering of wings was heard. Everyone followed the sound to see that it was a majestic black rooster with a group of chicken brothers shaving under the tree.
"This chicken is good!" As a culinary expert, seeing such leftover ingredients jumping in front of her eyes, Yang's mother's chef's soul is burning.
"Needless to say!" Wang Lao was very proud, and said before Su Lao could speak, "See, all free-range Daixian black chickens, Brother Su has stocked about tens of thousands of black chickens in the surrounding two mountain ranges." ”
"That's a lot! Can the old man manage it? Chen's mother asked with concern.
"How can it be managed? As soon as these chickens are put on this mountain, Brother Su doesn't care about it, when he remembers when he scatters some grain, he can't think of it and let them fend for themselves, these chickens are quite competitive, if they are not surrounded by fences, I am afraid that they will evolve into pheasants. Now we have to catch a chicken to eat, and no one can catch it without Su Xiaohei's shot. ”
"Xiao Mu, in the future, Auntie's chicken will all depend on you." Mother Yang smiled, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with taking advantage of her son's relationship with Su Mu to buy chicken. No one can overtake too many good things.
"And our family." Zhang's mother and Chen's mother spoke in unison.
Su Mu shrugged, this situation had been expected long ago when he invited everyone to play. "But you'd better come to the village by yourself, just catch the chicken with Su Xiaohei, it's up to you to bring it back to the county seat from Sujiazhuang, or you can help bring some when I go home."
"That's easy to say." There is no objection to this.
Originally, according to Su Mu's meaning, everyone could move not far from the foot of the mountain, and then there was nothing else except trees and fruits. However, everyone has the ambition to go up to the top of the mountain and see the whole picture of Sujiazhuang, in the words of Chen's father, the scenery from the high places is more beautiful.
Su Mu couldn't, so he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, fortunately, the mountain is not very high, everyone picks a few eye-catching red apples while climbing the mountain, and they don't have to wash with water, they can eat it directly by rubbing it on their clothes, it's so heroic.
"Yang Xiaofan, aren't you meatless and unhappy, don't you like to eat vegetables and fruits? You're already the fifth, aren't you? Chen Xin bumped into Yang Fan, who was eating happily with a big apple.
"I can't say that, the specific problems are analyzed, and other people's fruits are not as delicious as Mu Mu's! If every family is a fruit of this level, I would be willing to eat two or three every day. Yang Fan looked serious.
Su Mu smiled, his own fruit aura is sufficient, in a few years, maybe it will evolve into a spirit fruit, which can be compared to the ordinary fruit in the outside world?
