Chapter 55: The Lively Peach Blossom Valley
Du Wulang, Du Balang continued to send watermelons, Du Jiumei was worried that she would meet those people again, so she resolutely refused to follow. It's too dangerous outside, but it's better to be at home.
After giving it to Grandma Sun, Du Dayong, Aunt Li, and Grandma Watermelon, they didn't let the two brothers come back empty-handed, and returned the gift.
When Du Wulang and Du Balang delivered the big watermelon to the mansion, it was Du Liumei who came to open the door, saw the round big watermelon, and asked, "Fifth brother, eighth brother, did you buy this watermelon?" β
Under the teaching of Wu Cuihua, Du Liumei became much smarter, obeyed her mother's words, and was polite when she saw the people in the third room.
No one grows watermelons in Dujia Village, so Du Liumei's first reaction was to buy watermelons from outside. Watermelon is a thing, it is very hot in summer, and it is very comfortable to eat watermelon that has been towned by a well water, so it is very expensive, and it used to be eaten only once or twice a year.
Du Wulang smiled: "No, we grew it ourselves, and we will give some to our grandparents to eat." "I haven't been here for a long time, and Du Wulang doesn't dare to go in.
However, when the people who were enjoying the shade in the courtyard heard Du Wulang's words, they looked at each other, and these three rooms actually planted watermelons.
Du Changhe always felt that he owed three rooms, and seeing that his grandson had not yet separated from the life of the mansion, he hurriedly said: "Wulang, Hachiro, come in quickly." β
Du Pozi rolled her eyelids, pretending not to see it, but just snorted coldly. What are these two little cheap embryos doing, anyway, every time I see them, there is no good thing.
During this time, they were recuperating at home, and now that the injury has finally healed, Du Pozi has obviously healed the scar and forgotten the pain, and she can't help but look for trouble.
"Grandpa, there are a few watermelons in this house, send one over, give grandpa and grandma a try." Du Wulang said with a smile, handed over the watermelon to Du Changhe, the grandfather in this family also counted numerology, and went to Du Pozi's side, only to be scolded.
Du Changhe was very pleased and said, "Good, good!" If you're tired, we'll go again. β
"No, grandpa, my mother is still waiting for us at home." Du Wulang didn't expect to get the gift back, so he gave the watermelon and left. Grandma's eye knife keeps shooting over, Du Wulang, Du Hachiro is like sitting on pins and needles, where will he continue to stay!
Du Pozi also saw the round watermelon, her eyes moved, and she shouted loudly at the backs of Du Wulang and Du Balang: "Send me two every day in the future." β
Du Goro, Du Hachiro quickened his pace and ran out, pretending not to hear at all.
Seeing the two of them like this, Du Pozi stomped her feet and scolded: "These two dead things are not filial at all, why didn't God thunder and kill themγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Liu Guihua and other people in the big house have long regarded the people in the third room as a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait for the old woman to scold a few more words.
Wu Cuihua in the second room, Du Liumei is the most calm.
The people in the fourth room pay all their attention to the watermelon, on such a hot day, if you can eat the watermelon, it will be sweet to the heart.
Du Changhe saw that the two grandsons ran away as if they were hiding from ferocious beasts, and their hearts were extremely sour, and now they heard Du Pozi's scolding words, and said angrily: "You can't settle down, you look like an elder." Juniors are filial to you, you don't appreciate it, why scold! I don't know what to call something, the older I get, the more confused I become. β
Du Pozi saw that Du Changhe was angry, and he didn't dare to stiffen his mouth. Since she was beaten in the ancestral hall, she no longer dared to spill as she did before.
Because Du Pozi clearly understands that the old man will not beat her, but it does not mean that those old things in the clan cannot touch her. It's just a person's temperament, decades, and it can't be changed overnight. Now obedient, just remember that I was beaten and hurt before. After a long time, it will surely sprout in a solid state.
Liu Guihua saw that her mother-in-law stopped talking, and she didn't dare to say more, but fortunately, she was going to the county seat in a few days, so don't look at the old woman's face at home.
Du Wulang, Du Balang ran out of the mansion all the way away, and he dared to stop and rest, and he was almost relied on again. Although they didn't want to say it, they still couldn't help but slander in their hearts, how could there be such a shameless person in the world!
Let's say that Ruan Er took four watermelons back to the valley, the weather was hot, three watermelons were distributed to everyone to try, and the largest one was sent to the little master to eat.
Coming to the valley to recuperate, the little master's body is much better, this watermelon is a cold thing, you can only eat two bites, just relieve your cravings.
Ruan Haojun is a child after all, when he saw the watermelon, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed his saliva and asked, "Where did the watermelon come from?" β
"I bought it at the bottom of the mountain, and when I came to Peach Blossom Valley that day, the youngest girl was selling watermelons on the side of the road." Ruan Er replied, "It tastes good, little master, you can taste it too." β
Ruan Haojun took a thin piece of watermelon from Ruan Da's hand, took a small bite, and felt that the burning heat that had been in his chest had been reduced a lot. It's cool, it's sweet, it's delicious.
After eating a piece in a few bites, Ruan Haojun looked at the watermelon on the table with his eyes blank and whispered, "I'll eat another piece, okay?" β
Seeing the child's pitiful appearance, the nurse Qin cut half of it with a knife and said, "This is the last one, you can't eat too much." If you want to eat it, let someone buy it tomorrow. β
Ruan Haojun nodded again and again: "Well, well, good!" β
The rest of the watermelons were all eaten by the guards around him, and before going to bed, he didn't forget to tell Ruan Er to continue to buy watermelons tomorrow.
After Ruan Er went back, he ate such a good watermelon for the first time, and he used to eat a lot of watermelons in the capital, but they were not as delicious as this time. Thinking that this watermelon is so delicious, I don't know how it tastes when I made the peach blossom stuffed before? β
Ruan Er pulled out a coarse porcelain jar from under the bed, which was used for the most ordinary drinks.
Ruan Er gently removed the dry mud from the seal, lifted the thick layer of butter paper on it, and a rich fragrance wafted out from it.
"Well, this jar is not good-looking, I didn't expect the peach blossom stuffed in it to taste so good." Ruan Er muttered, a person who is good at wine, as long as he smells the wine, he knows whether it is good or not. Although the peach blossom brew is not as refreshing as the spirits, it is better than the taste.
Ruan Er poured the wine directly into the teacup, drank several cups in a row, and his whole body was warm and very comfortable.
The smell of wine was very strong, from the window, the crack in the door to the outside, the person with the sharp nose smelled the fragrance in the middle of the night, like a cat smelling fishy, followed the fragrance to find Ruan Er's room, and saw Ruan Er drinking.
"Second master, you are too uninteresting, and you don't give us a little drink if you have wine, it's too unwilling." One of the big men is the best wine, the Peach Blossom Valley is isolated from the world, there is no wine in it, and the birds have long faded out of their mouths.
Ruan Er drank a lot, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this wine to taste so good, but the portion is not much, you can take it leisurely, and go back quickly after drinking." β
