Chapter 146: My Pumpkin Is Sweeter Than Honey

A phone call solved the problem faced by his father, and Wang Yong began to really enjoy his vacation. From the time I finished the exam to the present, things have been going on.

Even in the past few days in the capital, although Grandma Gan's family is very warm, friendly and kind, Wang Yong still feels uncomfortable.

No matter how good it is outside, it's not home!

Wang Yong, who made up his mind to take a good rest, went out after breakfast every day, and never came back until he had a meal. In order to avoid being disturbed, even the mobile phone is kept at home and not carried around.

For three days, Wang Yong felt that it was not interesting. After all, I have lived in this village for more than ten years, and I will not go the wrong way with my eyes closed. The environment and people here are already too familiar, and there is no novelty at all.

Fortunately, Wang Yong is a quiet and introverted person, wandering around the village for a few times, and after getting bored, he ran to the village library to read books and newspapers.

Under the guidance of Wang Yong, Secretary Zhao, who realized the importance of spiritual civilization construction to the villagers and the village, burst out with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

Not only did he personally supervise the villagers' activity center and serve as the director, but he also found Liu Jie, who had just graduated from junior high school in the village and was unwilling to go to school, as a full-time administrator.

Not only that, but the number of books in the library has increased to nearly 50,000. The bookshelves in the library couldn't fit anymore, but Wang Yong came up with an idea to help the old secretary who was in a hurry solve this trouble.

"Easy to do? Wouldn't it be okay to get a library card for everyone to take the books home and read them? ”

"What if someone breaks the book, loses it, or simply borrows it and doesn't return it?" Without waiting for Secretary Zhao to speak, Liu Jie, as the administrator, preemptively raised the question.

Whoever made her a full-time administrator will be her responsibility at that time. If you can't control it, I'm afraid it won't be long before these books are taken away by the villagers who take advantage of them.

"Fine! Post an announcement on the bulletin board so that the whole village can see who is so immoral! ”

Wang Yong's trick is enough to say. Think about it, when the time comes, someone really wants to take advantage of the public and will not pay it back. The big notice was posted on the bulletin wall, and the whole village could see it clearly in black and white, I'm afraid I don't have the face to leave the house, right?

On this day, Wang Yong was lying on the table in the reading room, looking at a military magazine with relish, fantasizing that he would go back to the past, driving a new fighter plane with his whole body neatly draped, and slapping little Japan. As he jerked Ah San and the monkey, the conversation between two village bear children at another table next to him woke him up from his sweet dream.

"Look at the apples on this tree, they are so beautiful! It's definitely delicious! ”

There was a sound of snorting, and it was clear that the bear child was hungry. Although the apple trees in the village are beginning to bear fruit, because of variety, management and technology, at least the appearance is not comparable to what is drawn in other people's books.

Let's talk about the most planted Kunimitsu and Fuji in the village, Fuji is okay. After all, it is also a new variety, and both the taste and sugar content are acceptable to children.

Even if it's small and not good-looking, it still tastes good. Lots of moisture. The sugar content is also high, and the mouth is full of sweet juice when you bite it.

But Guoguang is an old variety, so there is really nothing to say. When I first took it off, it didn't even fit in my mouth. Not only is it sour, but the flesh is fleshy and hard. It's hard to eat.

Generally, it takes a month or two for this apple to taste better, at least to make people acceptable. And it has a slightly sweet taste in the sourness. It makes many people love it.

Probably this is one of the real reasons why it has not been completely eliminated for so many years. Just like that kind of hard big sour pear, those who don't like it feel like their front teeth are going to fall out at a glance, and those who like it can eat three or four of them in one meal.

"What's so delicious about apples, let me tell you, my pumpkin is delicious! It's sweet! ”

Not to be outdone, the other bear child began to fight back, using his scarce vocabulary to describe how delicious and sweet his pumpkin really was.

"Much sweeter than apples!"

"My pumpkin is sweeter than honey!"

"To the cow, you! Is there any pumpkin sweeter than honey? Have you ever eaten honey? ”

"How come I haven't eaten it! You haven't eaten it yet! ”

The louder and louder quarrel between the two bear children finally attracted the big boss of the library, and the administrator Liu Jie suddenly came out and glared at the two bear children with a cold eyebrow: "What's the noise, get out of the room if you quarrel again!" ”

The two bear children were frightened and did not dare to resist. The sister in front of me is the master of the same thing here, and if you provoke her, you won't be able to come here to see a beautiful comic book!

However, after Liu Jie left, the two bear children continued to have a very unfriendly fierce whispering argument about whether pumpkin was sweet or honey sweet.

"You're just talking nonsense, how can a pumpkin be sweeter than honey! You haven't eaten honey at all, you! ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, you haven't eaten honey!"

After speaking, this kid secretly glanced at Wang Yong next to the two of them. Seeing that he didn't seem to notice his side at all, he was lying on the table with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep, so he patted his chest amusefully and let out a sigh.

"I tell you, you're not allowed to tell anyone?"

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't you say I hadn't eaten honey? Let me tell you, Wang Liang and I have to go to the countryside every week to secretly steal a little honey to eat! Now we still have half a can of honey hidden in a secret place! ”

Wang Yong, who secretly pretended to be sleeping, was so angry when he heard it! Wang Liang, the little rabbit cub who eats inside and out, I said why do the people on the farm always say that honey is always not enough for bees to eat, it turns out that it was stolen by you two thieves?

The two boxes of bees that took a lot of effort to get at the beginning have been almost two years now, and I have tasted them once.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, you wait for me, and see how I will serve you after I arrest you!

"Really?"

"Humph!" The little guy has a small head and doesn't bother to answer this question at all.

"And your pumpkin is really that sweet? I've eaten honey, and a small spoonful can make a cup of very sweet water. How can a pumpkin be so sweet? ”

The suspicion of the little friend hurt the little boy's self-esteem a lot, and he stared at the little friend angrily with a pair of big eyes:

"You don't believe it, let's go, let's go to my house, let's pick one and taste it, and you'll know I'm not lying. Hum! Lie to you being a puppy! ”

This guy, his friends swore an oath, and he couldn't believe that this was really difficult to accept. I also grow pumpkins at home, and I've eaten them myself, but I don't think it's so sweet?

"Go and go, go now, whoever wants to deceive people is a puppy!"

"Humph! The pumpkin is still small, and my mom said it would take another month to eat it! When the time comes, I'll ask you to come to my house to try it, and you'll know how delicious my pumpkin is when you eat it! ”

Hearing this, Wang Yong's heart was like a cat scratching, itching very much! got up immediately, took the magazine in his hand, went to the door to say hello to the second sister Liu Jie, and trotted out of the door.

Wang Yong, the little guy who just said that his pumpkin was sweeter than honey, also knew him, and he had the best relationship with his younger brother Wang Liang. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken him only to steal his own honey.

I just don't know how these two bear children got there, you must know that Wang Yong avoids every time he passes by the beehive. A bit of a phobia of density, he is far away from bees. Don't look small about this thing, if you really anger them, people won't fight with you alone.

People charge into battle, and it is always brothers and sisters who go together, no matter how many enemies there are! Wang Yong felt a little chilled at the thought of the overwhelming, dense black clouds of bees rushing over.

The bear child's name was Gao Jun, and his family lived in the north end of the village, and Wang Yong trotted all the way, and it didn't take him three minutes to reach the door of his house.

At a glance, he saw the pumpkin seedlings that covered his gatehouse. The large leaves and yellow flowers are a sight to behold.

Now that August is the time when a large number of pumpkins are ripe, Wang Yong's eyes swept and he found several large green pumpkins with huge leaves that could not be hidden.

If you don't remove it now, after a while, the green skin will slowly turn golden brown, making it easier to spot and tasty.

Pumpkins are mostly called nest melons locally, which should be a common name in the northern region. In the south, there are many kinds of names, such as gourd, pumpkin, pumpkin and so on.

Pumpkin is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family, native to Mexico and Central America, and was introduced to China very early. It is now cultivated all over the world and can be found everywhere on almost every continent.

When his skin turns golden brown, he can be plucked and preserved before he can be eaten next spring. Therefore, it once became a life-saving food for emergency relief through famine.

Pumpkin is highly nutritious, especially carotene, a β antioxidant that keeps people's minds sharp. Pumpkin seeds are rich in the mineral zinc, which is easily absorbed by the body, which is an important substance that can promote brain function.

In the past, because life in the village was not easy, the most sweet that children with a natural love for sweets could eat was pumpkin. He doesn't need to spend money to buy candy, as long as he lights a few seeds in the front and back of the house in the spring, he can eat sweet and delicious pumpkins in the summer and autumn.

Pumpkin and potatoes are mixed together and boiled on an iron pot at home, as long as the heat is up, it is a meal of several delicious farmhouse boiled vegetables (that is, stews, the main method is simple, saving time and trouble. )!

Wang Yong searched carefully for more than ten minutes, and finally found his goal, tiptoed and stretched out his arm to reach a green pumpkin the size of a basketball, hugged the pumpkin without hesitation, twisted twice, and the big pumpkin completely broke away from the pumpkin seedlings and arrived in Wang Yong's arms.
