Chapter 65 Rare things are precious
Dong Rong sent Second Sister Cao back, and everyone felt a little drunk after a few more rounds, so they hastily cleaned up the table and slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, two flower-tailed magpies stood on the gatehouse of the small courtyard and kept barking. Dong Rong turned over and sat up in a daze, but she didn't expect her temples to hurt like pins and needles, and she couldn't help moaning.
Silly Zhu woke up when he heard the sound, and when he saw this, he pulled her to lie down again. Dong Rong felt better at this time, and complained, "This wine tastes light, but it's still on top!" ”
Silly Zhu saw that her facial features were wrinkled, and her appearance was very cute, so he smiled and said, "I'll go and ask you for sobering soup." As he spoke, he got off the ground, and just as he was about to open the door, Du Juan's sister-in-law happened to shout outside, "Sister Rong, I boiled a sobering soup, if you have a headache, just drink a bowl quickly." ”
Dong Rong was like hearing the sound of heaven, holding her head and hurriedly responding, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you saved my life." ”
The cuckoo giggled and went back to fill the soup, Dong Rong endured the sour taste and poured a bowl, and the headache was much lighter after a while. When she went to visit Second Sister Cao, this girl was even more wolf, and her hair was messy like a bird's nest. After drinking the same bowl of sobering soup, Second Sister Cao also came back to life. Dong Rong casually pulled the mirror and asked her to take a look, but the little girl's screams almost broke the roof.
Dong Rong's prank succeeded, and she went to breakfast with a full good mood.
Dong Ping held back in the academy for a few days, and now that the big event is over, he plans to go back to the mountain with his sister to live for two days. Dong Rong was worried about the dozens of apples with words on the mountain, and felt that it was rare for her younger brothers and sisters to gather around, so she said to Steward Zhang who entered the city, and soon a green cloth carriage specially carrying passengers came to pick up everyone.
The autumn sky is the clearest and bluest in the four seasons, there is not a single cloud, and the buds on both sides of the mountain road are three points heavier than when they come, and some of the people who are anxious have already gone into battle with men, women and children and have begun to harvest. The old men and the old ladies carried baskets and broken sticks, the sons and daughters-in-law followed behind with scythes to cut the straw, and the children giggled and scurried all over the ground looking for the sticks that had been dropped by the grandparents who were not looking at each other. The daughter-in-law was afraid that the child would trip and scratch her clothes, so she shouted and scolded from time to time.
Second Sister Cao was lying in front of the car window, her little face slightly lost. Dong Rong guessed the reason, so she slapped her with a smile, and said angrily, "Don't pretend to be pitiful, my sister-in-law will take you out to play again if I have a chance in the future." ”
"Really?" The little girl immediately smiled on her face, and thanked her, "Thank you, sister-in-law, sister-in-law loves me the most." ”
Dong Rong was hugged by her arm and almost fell off her seat, so she joked, "Did Doctor Feng prepare the wrong medicinal soup, how could a little girl who was originally so demure become a leather monkey after drinking the medicinal soup." ”
"Sister-in-law, you're laughing at people again!" Second Sister Cao blushed, turned around and leaned over to her brother's side to pretend to complain, "Brother, you don't care about my sister-in-law, she bullied me." ”
Silly Zhu smiled and patted his sister, but said, "My daughter-in-law is the best!" ”
Second Sister Cao, who was waiting for her brother to call the shots, was dumbfounded, but the Dong family sisters and brothers laughed together, which made Second Sister Cao's face even redder.
The carriage ran all the way with laughter like this, and when they got outside the orchard, Silly Zhu and Dong Ping jumped out of the car first, and waited to help Dong Rong.
Second Sister Cao has to go home first. How could Dong Rong not know that she was a child's temper, and she was anxious to show her dowry to her mother, so she paid an extra five-wen fare, and saw that the carriage drove directly into the village along the mountain road, so she was relieved to enter the garden.
When Dong Rong went up the mountain, the first thing he did was to check a few secret marks left outside the apple forest, and only after finding that they were intact did he let go. Silly Zhu wandered around behind her, his eyes full of smiles.
In the past few days, he has only brought A, 1, 2, etc., to facilitate the transmission of news, and the remaining 3 to 86 good hands can all stay here, otherwise how could only a few handymen be able to guard such a large orchard. These post apples are not only treasures in Dong Rong's eyes now, but even Mr. Feng is looking forward to seeing them every day.
Zhao Qingshan has been a steward for a few months, and he feels that he is relied on by the owner, and he almost takes care of the orchard as his own house. He saw that only the 100 apples on the top of the mountain had not been harvested in the orchard, and all the construction was completed, so he wondered whether to cut a few people.
Today, I finally saw that the owner came back and rushed to report, Dong Rong had already had this intention, and he responded when he said so, "It just so happens that the land is also going to be collected, it is better if anyone wants to take the initiative to go home, if no one proposes it, then it is better to draw lots." ”
Zhao Qingshan said with a smile, "Everyone is grateful for the benevolence of the owner, I'm afraid they don't want to leave the orchard, they still have to draw lots." After speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Boss, the apples on the mountain should be harvested earlier." Everyone has scared away several groups of thieves these nights, and if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to guard. ”
Dong Rong frowned, the sun has been excellent these days, those post apples still need to be sunned, if the rest of the apples are harvested, everyone will inevitably find the difference between these plants, and there will be no secret at all.
"Let's wait two more days for the apples to be harvested, and send more people in the evening. If the villagers from the surrounding villages come to give the child a snack, give him a few fruits, and don't gossip. If you are a homeless person from the south, you should send a few cakes, and in short, make sure that the orchard is safe. Don't grudge with others over trivial things, and wait until the apple harvest is over. ”
As the old saying goes, the mountain eats the mountain, and the water eats the water. The Four Seasons Garden is located in the middle of four small villages, and in previous years, when the villagers came up to the mountain to pick mushrooms or weeds, it was common for them to pick two peaches and fruits and go back to give their children a tooth sacrifice, and the people in the orchard would not say anything when they saw it. But this year, after Dong Rong took over, the mountain was almost half sealed, and outsiders were strictly forbidden to go up at the top of the mountain, and the villagers in the surrounding villages had already complained, not to mention the handymen, only Zhao Qingshan had heard it four or five times.
At this time, the owner spoke, and he had the confidence to take care of everything, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements." ”
The two discussed a few more trivial matters, and Zhao Qingshan went down to get busy. It was already the autumn harvest, and the handymen's families were somewhat too busy, but the wages in the orchard were high and the food was good, and everyone was reluctant to go back. So after the casting of lots, the handymen who left had nothing but to complain about bad luck. After half of the staff was reduced in this way, the orchard was much cleaner again.
Dong Ping was curious about how the apples with paper cuts grew handwriting, and he stayed under the tree almost from morning to night. He didn't feel lonely, he held a book in his hand and lay under the fruity branches, often reading and reading and taking a nap, not to mention how comfortable he was.
When she got up early on this day, Dong Rong looked at the clouds piled up in the sky from afar and seemed to have some strange colors, and remembered the agricultural proverb that "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles", so she hurriedly found a half-old wicker basket and called the silly pillar and her younger brother to run to grab apples.
Fortunately, there were no dozens of apples pasted on them, and the family of three quickly completed the task and ran back to the house. Sure enough, before I could enter the house, it rained outside.
Dong Rong clapped her hands very happily, the oil paper smeared with gum on the apple, obviously not as strong as the self-adhesive in the previous life, if it is stained with rain, it will definitely fall off immediately, and when the sun comes out and basks for a while, the handwriting on the fruit will fade a lot.
Dong Ping circled around the basket a few times, anxious and didn't dare to make a move, so he urged his sister to hurry up. Silly Zhu sat on a chair, although he held a teacup in his hand, his eyes never took off the basket.
Dong Rong was also very excited, after all, many days of hard work, as well as a rich life in the future, are all maintained on this little apple, if she is not successful, she will jump into the river.
She chose a medium-sized apple first, peeled off the oiled paper on it little by little, and the word "Xi" with a pale yellow color slowly appeared on the originally red fruit. Although the edges are slightly blurred, you can still guess the meaning at first sight.
"It worked!" Dong Rong shouted happily, Silly Zhu and Dong Ping immediately came to him, and after taking a closer look, they shouted in unison, "There are really words!" ”
"Of course there are words, this apple can be regarded as auspicious! It's more valuable than a golden apple! Dong Rong proudly threw the apple on the table and went to peel off another one. Dong Ping saw that the apple was rolling on the table, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect it, for fear that it would fall to the ground and break it. But before he could get up, his sister threw up another one with the word "Shou" printed on it...
Dong Rong smiled and uncovered one after another, and the stupid pillar couldn't help but step forward to help when he saw that it was interesting.
"Long life is boundless, auspicious wishes, and wealth is abundant..."The two of them chattered excitedly while peeling endlessly, Dong Ping couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Sister, don't peel it anymore, I can't hold it." ”
Dong Rong looked up when she heard the sound, and saw her younger brother lying on the table with his whole body half-lying on the table, pouting his buttocks, and wrapping his hands around the pile of apples, as funny as he wanted. She laughed, hurriedly took another clean basket and picked up apples, and successfully freed her brother.
Dong Ping let out a long sigh of relief, shook his stiff arm a few times, and finally said excitedly, "If these apples are taken out and sold, I don't know how many people are crazy to grab them!" ”
Dong Rong was stunned when she heard this, and then picked up an apple and "clicked" it and bit it.
Dong Ping exclaimed, "Sister, how are you... How did you eat it? ”
Dong Rong stretched out her hand and chose two of them and handed them to her younger brother and Silly Zhu respectively, and said with a smile, "There are so many, you can eat them too, this apple has blown the autumn wind for a few more days, and the taste is really sweet." ”
Silly Zhu took the apple and wiped it on the placket of his clothes, and ate it without hesitation. Dong Ping blinked, looked at his sister and brother-in-law, and then looked at the half-basket of apples, and soon figured out the truth, and quickly joined the army of apple gnawing.
It's easy to say, miracles are called miracles because they are rare; The reason why Xiangrui is called Xiangrui is because there are not many. If this handwritten apple wants to be a miracle and auspicious, it must not have many "brothers and sisters".
Dong Rong saw that her brother was so smart, and she smiled even more happily. She checked in the basket while eating, and finally selected two sets of "longevity without borders", one set of "wealth and prosperity", and one set of "auspicious ruyi", and the remaining many "longevity", "happiness" and "hair" all need to be sent into the stomach.
