24. Sea buckthorn

It's a pity that Wu Lei was also taken away by his aunt in less than a month, Bai Haoran cried and sent away his good friend who had been playing with him for so long, looking at the two boys with tears in their eyes, she couldn't help but want to cry, because since Wu Lei, the child came, it seems that she doesn't dream so many times, and she can sleep a good night every night, although she doesn't know what the reason is, but she is still very grateful to this little guy in her heart.

"Haoran, Yuxi, I will come back to you in the future, wait for me."

Wu Lei waved at the brother and sister, and walked farther and farther away in the car, Bai Haoran was a child after all, he was sad when his good friend left, and threw himself into Bai Xinyi's arms, staring at the big moist eyes and asking, "Auntie, do you say that Xiaoshi can come back?" ”

Bai Xinyi is not easy to answer this question, adults often don't count when they speak, let alone a child of a few years old.

patted the little nephew's back, and said softly, "Haoran is good, Xiaoshi went back to see his parents, and when he grows up, maybe you will be able to meet, so you have to study hard, but you can't let Wu Lei fall behind, and you can write to Xiaoshi after you learn to write." ”

Yuxi thought it was funny when he heard it, Xiaoshi didn't leave them an address, where did they go to write a letter, it was really a lie to the children not to write drafts.

In fact, she didn't think of asking for an address, but some things still depend on fate, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to hold hands on the other side without fate.

Although Bai Haoran was a little lonely after the little stone left, the child's forgetfulness was relatively large, and soon he became a piece of other children in the tun, and from the perspective of the rain, it was a bunch of bear children getting together to be naughty, but as long as it was not too much, the adults in the family were still more tolerant of them.

At most, she went to the east side of the road to see the endless grassland and the houses on the grassland, and the white yurt room could still waft out the tempting smell of milk from time to time, and she was a little hungry for milk.

But thinking about the shyness in the bag, I can drink a meal but I can't solve it later, I sighed in my heart, looked at my little hand, and couldn't help shaking my head.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Bai Haoran followed a large group of children from the west, including men and women, all of whom seemed to have sugar cubes in their mouths.

Yuxi couldn't help laughing, it is estimated that the eldest brother of his family used money to buy candy and bribed these children.

Look at these children as if they were embracing the gang leader, they hugged Bai Haoran over, "Sister, look, what is this?" ”

Bai Haoran was holding a bunch of red fruits in his hand, a bit like a bunch of red flowers.

Yuxi didn't know what this was, and looked at the thing in his hand with some surprise, "Brother, what is this?" “

Bai Haoran smiled, "Brother Zhou Kai said that this is sea buckthorn, and there are a lot of them over there." “

Looking at the direction pointed by the eldest brother, Yuxi knew that the road should be on the edge of the desert, but he didn't expect these people to run so far to play.

The child named Zhou Kai was not much older than their family, and he was looking at the other people who were about the same age.

One of the little girls came over, a little thin, but she looked quite lively, took her hand and asked, "Are you Bai Haoran's sister?" ”

Yuxi nodded, and the little girl introduced herself with a smile, "My name is Zou Li, what is your name?" ”

For the down-and-out and generous children, Yuxi has a feeling in her heart, and it doesn't take so many brain cells to interact with such a person.

"Hello, my name is Bai Yuxi, you can call me Yuxi, you can come and play with me in the future, by the way, is there a lot of sea buckthorn over there, can you eat it?"

Zhou Kai nodded, "You can eat it, but it's a little sour, and your teeth will fall if you eat too much." ”

Yuxi was a little unconvinced, pulled a small fruit from the branch and tasted it, savoring not only the sourness but also the taste of some wine, which was not too strong.

A little boy named Guo Qiang handed her a string in his hand, "Yuxi, you eat this and take a look, it's a little sweet." ”

The little boy took the string of sea buckthorn, not to mention that it was sweeter than the first time.

In her previous life, she knew about this thing, but she bought it in a pharmacy, and her father was not in good health at that time, and the doctor prescribed her medicine, one of which was sea buckthorn.

She had previously checked on the Internet that sea buckthorn, which is drought-tolerant, sand-resistant, and can survive on salinized soil, is therefore widely used for soil and water conservation. It is distributed in North China, Northwest China, Southwest China and other places. Sea buckthorn is a medicinal and edible homologous plant. The roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of sea buckthorn, especially the fruit of sea buckthorn, are rich in nutrients and bioactive substances, which can be widely used in many fields of the national economy such as food, medicine, light industry, aerospace, agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. Sea buckthorn fruit has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, strengthening the stomach and eliminating appetite, and invigorating blood and dissipating stasis. According to modern medical research, sea buckthorn can lower cholesterol, relieve angina attacks, and prevent coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

It seems that the sea buckthorn they grow here is only used to prevent wind and fix sand, and people have not yet realized the economic value of sea buckthorn, which is very good, and no one thought that it would be an opportunity for their family.

"Brother, can you take me over to have a look, I want to pick some more sea buckthorn and come back."

Bai Haoran didn't know what Sister Lu Dao wanted this thing to do, he had also eaten this thing, it was sour, it was not delicious at all, but Haoran's little friend, who loved his sister, would not refuse this request, nodded his little head, "Okay, let's take my sister over to have a look." ”

The children around him followed him, but the desert area was really some distance from their home, but they couldn't stand these bear children who had no place to vent their energy, just run around and play.

Therefore, Yuxi ran a distance not very close under the leadership of everyone, and finally saw the sea buckthorn forest in her mind, and there were a lot of dwarf hardy plants such as camel thorns growing in such a large desert area, which could not be cultivated at all.

Bai Xinyi was drying grain in the yard, and the buds planted in the vegetable garden behind were ripe, and she broke them back and planned to dry them and crush them for the winter.

At this time, a person pushing a cart hurriedly walked in, but the figure was really a little flattering, it was too short, and the person was dark and thin, "Sister, I sent you food." ”

Bai Xinyi was happy when she saw the person who came, this person was her younger brother's hair, and she grew up wearing open crotch pants when she was a child, but her younger brother was lucky to have this friend to help him during this time.

"Li Rui, come in and rest, are you tired?"

Bai Xinyi hurriedly wrung a towel to wipe his sweat, and pushed a cart of food over, probably not lightly tired.
