After that time, the next day, Zhou Yu went to Xiaowang Village again, but failed to see Wang Xiaoyi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But he wasn't frustrated.
Since Wang Xiaoyi agreed to him, he will never regret it!
This girl has the same persistence as a tree. He believes that the outside world of flowers and flowers will never change her mind!
After sweeping Xiaowang Village, it was mid to late August.
The time of harvest has come.
The seven or eight villages around Rongshupo have all been swept clean by Zhou Yu, and about fifty or sixty catties of yellow eels have been harvested, all of which have been thrown into the canal.
In the next few days, Zhou Yu relaxed and rested.
Until it rains.
After the rains, there was water in the fields where the rice was harvested. In such a situation, the yellow eel, which has been in drought for a long time, will come out of the mud and hide under the straw pile.
That's the opportunity.
Zhou Yu immediately took the bamboo basket and went to sweep.
It took five days straight, and by August 26, Zhou Yu had harvested a total of seventy or eighty catties of yellow eel. And this day is the day when Wang Xiaoyi went to the Beijing People's Congress to report.
Zhou Yu pinched the time and waited at the intersection outside Xiaowang Village early in the morning.
Zhou Yu knew that with Wang Xiaoyi's temperament, she would never ask her parents to send her, at most she would send her to the entrance of the village.
Therefore, he is not afraid and will meet Wang Xiaoyi's parents at the intersection.
At around eight o'clock, Zhou Yu finally saw a familiar figure, dragging a suitcase, from the road at the entrance of the village.
At the entrance of the village, there is a middle-aged couple, who are clearly Wang Xiaoyi's parents.
He quickly shrank his head.
With his current situation, he can't face Wang Xiaoyi's parents. Only when it is developed in the future will it appear in front of them with confidence.
Zhou Yu walked forward for a while, and when he turned around, he couldn't see the entrance of Xiaowang Village, so he stopped and waited for Wang Xiaoyi to come over.
Wang Xiaoyi came out of the branch road at the entrance of the village, got on the intersection, and turned around and saw Zhou Yu's figure in the distance. Her steps suddenly became brisk and walked towards Zhou Yu.
"Wang Xiaoyi... I'll call you Xiaoyi. ā
Zhou Yu stepped forward, took Wang Xiaoyi's suitcase, and walked side by side with her: "Anyway, you will marry me in the future." ā
Wang Xiaoyi's face turned red and smacked Zhou Yu: "Nonsense." ā
"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhou Yu smiled: "You agreed that day." ā
Wang Xiaoyi's face turned crimson: "I never found out, you are also a hooligan!" ā
Zhou Yu looked at Wang Xiaoyi's beautiful and flushed face, and couldn't help but be moved, and involuntarily went to hold Wang Xiaoyi's hand.
But the face was even redder.
The two held hands and walked silently, as if this moment was going to stop forever.
Finally, the minibus arrived.
The two got into the car and saw several classmates of the same grade.
Those classmates also saw Zhou Yu and Wang Xiaoyi, especially the hands they were holding. For a while, they were all very surprised.
Wang Xiaoyi was admitted to the National People's Congress, which is a well-known thing. The school is not less publicized. But Zhou Yu became a farmer, how did the two come together at this time?
They couldn't figure it out, but they felt that Zhou Yuyan was very blessed.
Wang Xiaoyi is not only beautiful in life, but also talented, and there are not a few people who covet her. But I didn't expect to choose Zhou Yu's mud leg at this time.
It's incredible.
But whether it is Zhou Yu or Wang Xiaoyi, they don't care about other people's opinions, and the hands of the two have never been separated for a moment.
Finally, the two arrived at the train station.
Looking at the station, Zhou Yu has never hated it like this!
Extraordinarily reluctant.
How tormenting and painful is it for two people to determine the relationship, but they have to separate?
Zhou Yu cheered up, squeezed Wang Xiaoyi's soft hand, looked at her eyes, and said seriously: "Pay attention to safety along the way, you know?" ā
Wang Xiaoyi bent his eyebrows and smiled: "I know!" ā
At this moment, neither of them knew what to say.
It was still Zhou Yu, who smiled reluctantly: "You are studying, and when you come back for the New Year, I will invite you to eat the yellow eels you raised!" ā
"Hmm!"
...
sent Wang Xiaoyi away, and Zhou Yu was not in good spirits for several days.
I miss it very much, but I can't do anything else. You can only feel the familiar sound through your mobile phone.
It wasn't until a few days later that Zhou Yu's trouble came.
It's September, but Zhou Yu hasn't gone to school yet, and the old man at home immediately suspects.
That night, at the dinner table, Zhou Yu was serving the old man to eat, and the old man said angrily: "You say, did you drop out of school!?" ā
Zhou Yu's hand trembled, knowing that trouble was coming, but he still wanted to hide it, and said, "What are you talking about, who said I dropped out of school." I'll report it in a few days. ā
"Grandpa taught you from a young age to be honest. How can you lie in front of grandpa? I asked the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, today is September 3rd! The old man stretched out his trembling hand and slapped the table fiercely: "Primary school has started, and you haven't left yet!" ā
The old man's angry face was full of blood and coughed fiercely.
Zhou Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly hugged his grandfather and patted his back.
"You let me go!" The old man lifted Zhou Yu away: "Say!" ā
Zhou Yu's eyes were red, and he knelt down with a dustpan: "Grandpa, I don't worry about you!" ā
"Don't worry about me? Afraid that no one will see me when I'm dead!? The old man gritted his teeth: "You get out of here!" I don't have your grandson, get out! ā
"Grandpa!"
Zhou Yu slapped himself in the face: "If I go to college and am not at home for a year and a half, what will you do?!" I can't put it down! ā
"You!"
The old man's eyes also sparkled, and he suddenly cried: "Blame me, blame me for being an old immortal!" He beat his chest fiercely: "Why didn't I die early!" ā
He hit his head on the table again, so frightened that Zhou Yu hurriedly stood up and hugged the old man.
The grandfather and grandson hugged their heads and cried.
"My grandson is pitiful!" The old man said sadly: "I lost my parents when I was a child, and I am an old immortal and a drag, I'm sorry for you!" ā
"No, it's not." Zhou Yu cried: "Without you, there would be no me." It was you who pulled me to grow up, and it was you who taught me the truth of being a man, you can do without anything, but you can't do without you! ā
The old man hugged Zhou Yu's head and cried.
It took a long time for the grandfather and grandson to calm down.
The old man wiped away his tears and sighed, "I should have known... You kid... But I just want you to go to college, and you can only be successful when you go to college. ā
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I don't have a good chance if I don't go to college." You see, in two or three years, I will definitely succeed! ā
The old man was relieved and sad: "My grandson has been sensible and smart since he was a child. Grandpa believes in you, and there will be a success. He sighed and said, "Since this is the case now, grandpa won't say much, whatever you do, grandpa will support you." ā
"Thank you, grandpa!" Zhou Yu laughed happily.
At this moment, the knots in the hearts of the grandfather and grandson were untied, but the food on the table was cold. Zhou Yu hurriedly took it to the kitchen and heated it, brought it out again, served his grandfather after eating, and served him to lie down, and then gave up.
This night, Zhou Yu slept soundly.
In the dream, I dreamed that I married Wang Xiaoyi, gave birth to a son and a daughter, my grandfather's illness was cured, and the family lived happily together...
When I got up the next day, I served my grandfather for breakfast, and Zhou Yu took the basket and prepared to pick plums and pears.
The plums planted in front of and behind Zhou Yu's house, except for a few ordinary plum trees planted a long time ago, the others are late-maturing species.
It was still the sapling that Zhou Yu dug up when he went to his classmate's house.
These plums are large, and when ripe, they are about the size of a four- or five-year-old child's fist. And it is transparent and crystalline, and does not show other variegated colors.
But the taste is very good, and the price on the market is much more expensive than ordinary plums.
Originally, the ripening season of this kind of crystal plum should be at the end of September and the beginning of October, but I didn't expect that these in front of and behind Zhou Yu's house would mature in early September.
Unexpected, but reasonable.
Zhou Yu knew that it must be related to the jade seal!
He didn't dwell on it, and since the plums were ripe, he picked them.
These plum trees, which have only been planted for two years, did not bear fruit last year, and this year is the first season. The plants are not large, and they can be picked by breaking the branches when you stand on the ground, and you don't need to climb the tree with a ladder at all.
Zhou Yu took the basket and spread a layer of rags in the basket, and then started from the front yard to pick plums.
When I got to the bottom of the tree, I reached out and picked a plum that was bigger than the fist of a four- or five-year-old child, and the surface was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and when the hoarfrost was gently wiped off, a crystal clear face was revealed.
"This plum looks bigger than the fruit of the old tree of the same scholar, and the quality is much better, and the price should be higher!"
I picked it up and took a bite, and plenty of juice flowed out, some even bursting out of my lips. The crisp and sweet taste quickly fills the lips and tongue, turning into a clear stream and rushing into the stomach, which is simply an endless aftertaste!
"Good!"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but shout. Unexpectedly, the taste of this plum is much better than the original!
He looked at these plums with a smile, as if he saw a banknote!
No longer hesitate at the moment, pick it quickly.
However, in the process of picking, there were also things that made Zhou Yu frown. It's not a good thing that the fruit grows too well - a lot of the fruit has been pecked by birds, which is really distressing!
Zhou Yu found another negligence in himself.
I didn't even notice the birds earlier, I really shouldn't have noticed!
But even if it was plagued by birds, more than a dozen trees were picked, and more than 400 catties of fruit were picked, and eight bamboo baskets were filled!
You know, these trees haven't fully grown yet!
However, on average, a forty pound is not too much.
After picking plums, I moved into the house in a basket, washed seven or eight, appetized my grandfather, and came out to pick pears again. These pear trees are not special varieties, but ordinary varieties.
The skin of this pear planted by Zhou Yu is tan, not a green-skinned pear.
But the taste is very good, and all the pears that Zhou Yu ate before were this kind of pears.
There are only eight pear trees, but they have also harvested nearly 200 catties of fruit.
These pears are also the same as the previous plums, not only are they bigger, their appearance is better, and the taste is much sweeter.
Zhou Yu was happy, and his grandfather was also happy.
"Tomorrow morning, I will take it to the town and sell it," Zhou Yu said to the old man at dinner: "Our fruit is delicious and beautiful, and it will definitely be sold at a good price." ā
The old man also nodded and smiled: "I've never eaten such a good fruit." ā
"It's just a pity that there is no way, otherwise the price would have to be mentioned again." Zhou Yu showed pity on his face.
Although he only graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, he also knows a lot of information on the Internet. The price of high-grade agricultural products is more than several grades higher than that of ordinary agricultural products.
Some so-called green vegetables and fruits are obviously not much different from ordinary ones, but under this signboard, they can be sold for dozens of yuan a catty, which is simply frustrating.
How can these fruits of your own family be able to get green signs, right?
But there is no way, and there is no way.
