Although he was ready, looking at the fragrant golden fruits in front of him, Gu Sizhuang's hands still trembled a little. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the saying goes, the shadow of a famous tree, this persimmon fruit is simply known as the nightmare existence of the entire Lotus Village, many people in the village who are a little older, as long as they mention this persimmon fruit, their faces immediately change, which shows how unpalatable it is.

Gu Sizhuang hesitated, wanted to give up, and looked at the expectations of the little niece, and finally gritted his teeth, and opened his mouth to bite.

"Fourth uncle, you can't eat like this, you peel the skin and eat it again." Gu Siniang reminded.

Gu Sizhuang twitched the corners of his mouth, how can this thing not taste the same, although he thought so, he still reached out and tore off the skin of the persimmon, revealing the soft and glutinous flesh inside, and the tangy aroma carried an indescribable temptation.

First opened his mouth and took a small bite, and then quickly closed his mouth, the expected bitter taste was not there, but there was something sweet in the mouth, which was a unique sweetness, stirring the taste buds between the lips and tongue.

"Huh?" Gu Sizhuang couldn't help but be surprised, looked at the fruit in his hand carefully, and then took a big bite tentatively.

This time, the sweetness was even stronger, filling his mouth, and Gu Sizhuang's eyes were full of surprise after shock, followed by the third and fourth mouthfuls...... Before you know it, a fruit quickly falls into the stomach.

Gu Siniang looked at the reaction of the fourth uncle, and finally put down her heart, she tried to make this fruit a few times, and she had eaten a lot, but she was still a little unsure in her heart, whether the people here would like this taste.

Now seeing Gu Sizhuang's reaction, she is finally sure that this is indeed a way for her to make money, and if the mountains of fruits are all sold, they will definitely bring a lot of profits.

"How can this thing be so delicious, bring me another one." Gu Sizhuang wiped the corners of his mouth, he was really a little unsatisfied, the soft and silky taste really made people want to eat one and eat the second.

"That's not good, it's all about keeping it for tomorrow to sell it for money. Fourth uncle, you just eat one. If you want it again, it's gone. Gu Siniang looked like a little money fan, and her little hand was in front of the jar, looking non-negotiable.

Gu Sizhuang couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this, obviously he didn't take Gu Siniang's words to heart, although he didn't eat enough, but he thought that he was a person who read sage books, where could he fight for food with a child.

"It's not too early, and it's time for me to go back to my room and read. After the Chinese New Year, I will take the children's exam, and I have stepped up my preparations. Speaking of this, the smile on Gu Sizhuang's face gradually turned serious, turned around and walked into the room, and it didn't take long to remember the sound of Lang Lang's reading.

The children in the village only read to know a few words, to be able to write their own names, and to be able to settle accounts. When Ma sent Gu Sizhuang to study, he didn't want him to learn much well, but the gentleman in the village said that Gu Sizhuang was a good seedling for reading, and he hoped that it would not be wasted.

Gu Sizhuang is the youngest son of the Ma family, so he is naturally distressed, and the situation of the Gu family has gradually improved in those years, so after thinking about it, he sent him a bundle and let him read it.

But after all, the educational resources in the countryside are limited, and the only gentleman is not even a talent, Gu Sizhuang still has to help the family, and the study time is not sufficient, so he has been tossing and turning for many years, and he has stayed up until twenty before signing up for the children's examination in the spring of next year.

Gu Siniang still hopes that her fourth uncle can be admitted, after all, this era is very preferential to scholars, and Tong Sheng has also become a talent, and being admitted is equivalent to having fame, not to mention anything else, from now on, the family's fields can be exempted from taxation.

Chen spent an afternoon busy, sorting out the embroidery work he had done in the last few days, and counting all the eggs he had accumulated in the basket.

There were two large baskets, and when Gu Dazhuang came back in the evening, he brought two pheasants with him, bundled them together and waited for them to be sold at the market the next day.

At the end of the dinner, Ma briefly talked about going to the market tomorrow, and explained a few small ones to be obedient and not to run around, so they were ready to let everyone disperse.

"Wait a minute." Gu Siniang said at this time.

"What, are you okay?" Ma Shi glanced at her, and then asked.

Gu Siniang was not very afraid of this grandmother, and when she saw her ask herself, she grinned and showed a big smile, "Well, wait for me, I'll come right away." ”

With that, she jumped down from the stool, and ran outside, and in a moment she returned with a plate with a few golden fruits on it.

"What are you doing with this?" Gu Dazhuang has a shadow on the persimmon fruit, and when he saw his little daughter bring this thing to the table, his face immediately dropped.

"Daddy, of course it's food." Gu Siniang looked at Gu Dazhuang and blinked, with an ignorant and innocent expression.

Gu Dazhuang was also a little bad for a while just now, but after noticing it, he slowed down a little, "You kid, where can I eat this thing." Wait until tomorrow Daddy will buy you candy to eat. ”

"Daddy, it's really delicious, you believe me. Tomorrow I'm going to take this to the market and sell it for money. Gu Siniang couldn't help but raise her voice when she saw her father looking like she was joking.

"Sell for money? Take this? When Gu Dazhuang heard his daughter say this, he thought that his ear was wrong, and after thinking about it, he felt a little warm in his heart, presumably it was his daughter's heart, and she wanted to increase some income for the family, "This thing is given away for nothing, and no one wants it." Siniang, Daddy knows that you want to help the family, but there is still Daddy and Mother to make money, so you don't need it. ”

"How can you trust me?" Gu Siniang was a little discouraged, turned her head and saw Gu Sizhuang coming out of the house, her eyes lit up suddenly, "Fourth uncle, Daddy doesn't believe me." Isn't this delicious? ”

Gu Sizhuang just went back to the house and took a book and wanted to watch it outside, when he heard Gu Siniang calling him, he looked up and saw her holding this persimmon fruit, and his taste buds suddenly seemed to be teased, so he turned around and walked over, "This does taste good." ”

"Look, it's still the fourth uncle who knows the goods." Gu Siniang grinned with a happy face, took one of the fruits with a small knife and divided it into a few pieces, and then put a piece in front of one person, "It's really sweet, I don't lie to you." ”

Several people at the table looked at each other, but no one made a move.

"Since you don't eat it, then I'm welcome." Because Gu Sizhuang had eaten it beforehand, he didn't have a psychological burden, so he directly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Sizhuang!"

The two voices sounded together, it was Gu Dazhuang and Ma's voices, obviously both a little worried.

Gu Sizhuang obviously didn't hear it, so he stuffed the fruit directly into his mouth, and after swallowing it, he still said unsatisfied, "If you don't eat it, I'm welcome." ”

The first to react were Gu Yuanniang's children, and their cognition of persimmon fruit stayed at what adults told them, this thing is not delicious.

Now that I heard Gu Siniang say this, and saw Gu Sizhuang's expression, I was already moved, glanced at each other, reached out and bit it.

"It's so sweet!" Gu Sanniang was the first to speak.

"It's much better than the wild fruits in the mountains." Gu Erniang also continued.

"Is this really a persimmon fruit? That bitter and astringent persimmon? Gu Yuanniang also showed a surprised expression after eating.

"Of course, these are all persimmon fruits picked in the mountains." Gu Siniang was recognized, and turned her gaze to the adults in front of the table, "Grandma, daddy, mother, little aunt, you all try it, I really don't lie to you." ”
