Chapter 293: Orchard Harvest
The people of a town have enough fruit for twenty-five carts a day, and I am afraid that they will not be able to eat it all!
"Okay, let's send the fruit to the city tomorrow!" The villagers of Liujia Village were full of enthusiasm when they heard this, and they were all waiting for tomorrow's arrival.
"I'll come with you tomorrow, but now, I'm going back, and I still have some things to deal with at home", Cheng Yangyang picked up his backpack and was about to go down the mountain.
"Come on, Liu Wei, send Miss Cheng back!" Village Chief Liu looked for Liu Wei in the crowd.
"Okay!" Liu Wei squeezed out of the crowd with a smile on his face.
"Brother Liu Weiwei, you wait for me, I'll go pick a few pineapples and peaches and go back to my younger brothers and sisters to eat", Cheng Yangyang and Liu Wei went down the mountain, she turned around and ran into the field.
Under the lychee tree, she folded a few heavy red lychees, and then reached out to reach for a few peaches bigger than a man's fist, and picked pineapples, which were already half of her back basket.
Fortunately, Liu Wei sent her back, otherwise she might not be able to carry so many things back.
Liu Wei only sent her to the entrance of the village, and he went back after putting her down, after all, he had to be busy from tomorrow, and he couldn't delay too long.
When Cheng Yangyang arrived at the school, he happened to meet Wang Xiaoshan who was going to ring the bell for the end of class, and she gave him a bunch of lychees and two peaches by the way, "Brother Xiaoshan, this is a new fruit this year, I will leave two on the table for you to taste!"
When Wang Xiaoshan heard her voice, he just looked back, and he didn't stop at his feet, "Thank you, sister of the Cheng family!"
When the bell rang, a group of little ghosts ran out of the classroom, and when they saw Cheng Yangyang, they just said hello, but they ran into the cafeteria.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Yi!" Cheng Yangyang came to the door of the dormitory of the two gentlemen, put down the basket, and gave them a little lychee and peaches.
"This is a lychee, this is a peach, this is the first time this year, I will bring it to you to taste!" she put the fruit in the hands of the two of them, "There are pineapples, but pineapples are more troublesome to eat, so I will serve them to you when I cut them!"
"Yo, Mr. Cheng is really capable, and I have something new to eat", although Shen Qiu was in a mocking tone, he really felt that she was capable.
"That's not it!" Cheng Yangyang didn't care if he was sincere or not, after getting along for so long, she already knew about Shen Qiu's knife mouth and tofu heart, "If I'm lucky, I'll cover all your fruits this year!"
"Then we'll wait", Yi An raised the peach in his hand and walked past her into the house.
"Sister, are you going home?" Cheng Qingqing and Li Yuanan had been watching them talk, and she only spoke when she saw the two gentlemen returning to the house.
"Return!" Cheng Yangyang picked up the basket and walked towards the two, "Let's go, let's go home and eat fruit!"
The three of them went up the mountain together, and the door of the Cheng family was rarely locked, she took out the key from her pocket and opened the door, and the deserted Cheng family had a slight voice.
"Brother Xiao An, let's go make dinner!" Cheng Qingqing pulled Li Yuanan, and the two went to the kitchen together, as if they deliberately left Cheng Yangyang alone in the house.
Because, since the prince's brother left, my sister often sat alone in the house in a daze, and sometimes she didn't respond when they called her three times, so they are now used to letting her be alone at home in a daze.
Cheng Yangyang put down the back basket, she went upstairs to find clothes, took a shower and went back to sleep, when she ate at night, there were only two little ghosts left on the table, and she didn't eat for a day.
The next day, Cheng Yangyang got up early in the morning, she used rouge to cover the dark circles under her eyes, changed her clothes for work, and set off for Liujia Village.
"Miss Cheng, you're so early!"
The villagers of Liujia Village had just gone out, and as soon as they went out, they saw Cheng Yangyang already standing under the tree, and they were a little surprised.
But isn't she famously a lazy sleeper?
"Sixth Uncle Liu, morning!" Cheng Yangyang turned around and greeted them with a pretended to be full of energy.
"Morning, morning!" Everyone arrived at the fruit grove one after another, and most of the men came barefoot to make it easier to climb the tree later, and the women all wrapped turbans on their heads, and later received the fruit under the tree, and there must have been a lot of fallen leaves.
"Then let's get started!" The people are almost here, and Cheng Yangyang has already been ready.
Some of the young men in the village climbed the tree as soon as they slipped through the smoke, and they were holding sickles and scissors to cut the lychee skewers.
The women were holding a sturdy coarse cloth under the tree, which was not too tall, but the fruit was easy to scratch and spoil when dropped, so it was better to use the cloth to follow it.
This job is more suitable for people with partners, looking at the way they help each other one by one, Cheng Yangyang was helpless, she simply went to the pineapple field and did it herself.
In the whole Liujia Village, all those who can work have come, and in less than half a day, the entrance of the village has been piled up with fruits as high as three hills.
The oxen and cart she bought also came from the city at noon, and there were only two small servants who delivered the cart, Cheng Yangyang gave them the hardship fee, and let them take a few fruits, and let them go back.
"Village chief, go find a few buckets and get some water to quench the thirst of the cows!" At the end of May, the cattle walked from the city to Liujia Village, and they couldn't stand the sultry weather.
"I've already asked that kid to fetch water", Village Chief Liu had already thought of this, he looked at these fat and strong cows, and the newly polished car, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Come on, come on, everyone load all the fruits on the car, be careful, don't crush the car", Village Chief Liu beckoned everyone, and loaded the car while the cattle were resting.
Together, everyone carefully loaded the fruit into the cart, not because they were distressed about the cart, but because they were worried that the fruit would be damaged.
Twenty-five cars were loaded at noon, and the teenagers in charge of delivery had just finished their lunch, and they rested earlier than the other villagers, and now they were rested and could set off.
"Brother Xiqing, when you go to the city, you must tell Liu Dong that pineapples can only be eaten after washing in salt water, and you ask him to personally demonstrate to the guests in the shop tomorrow, and give the guests a taste. ”
Cheng Yangyang set off with the convoy, and on the way, she repeatedly told them.
"I know, I will tell Steward Liu word by word your words", Liu Xiqing listened very carefully, the things she specially explained must be very important, and he couldn't be negligent.
"Okay, then you should be careful, don't be too anxious, and be careful when you come back at night. ”
When she reached the fork in the road, she stopped, watched them walk towards the main road, and turned back to Wangjia Village.
