Volume 1: Once in a Lifetime Chapter 45: Autumn Colors Pleasant to Go Out
Dalin stayed in Nanyang for more than half a month, inspecting various countries, eagerly looking for business opportunities, and intending to open up a larger market.
Where can my daughter Qinxin, this crazy ghost, be idle, my father is out, and the school is just giving them a month of autumn vacation, how can I not take advantage of this opportunity to have a good time playing it for a few days? Every day, they either ask Ah Dog to come to the house to play cards and play football for fun, or let Tie Ming drive them out to play in the amusement park, and they are as energetic as little mice.
The iron gate of the Lin Mansion was about to be unloaded by her, and Uncle Zhong couldn't see it, so he told Tie Ming that it was time to take care of the young lady, it was too crazy and noisy. Tie Ming didn't think so, of course she loved to play when she was young, and she should be let free when she got out of the school cage, and she would take care of it when school started. It's not like "just study and don't play, Jack will be stupid too"! It's time to play, it's time to read and read, I have my own measure, I won't pamper her, and I won't twist her.
On this day, Qin Xin had breakfast, a person swinging in the garden, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, listening to the chirping of birds, so comfortable, Xiao Ju stood on the side, there was a small round table next to the swing frame, on which was placed Qinxin's favorite osmanthus cake and fruit tea. She wanted to eat it for a while, so she asked Xiaoju to break a piece for her.
"Miss, what are we going to play today?"
"Well-I've played in the playground, I'm tired of visiting the park, there's nothing to see in the department store, and the recent movies aren't good, so what's the best thing to play?"
Xiao Ju tilted her head and looked at her, waiting for her to come up with an idea, Qin Xin grabbed the swing frame with both hands, dangled her legs freely, pursed her mouth, and thought.
"Yes, let's go on an autumn trip and go to a picnic, I haven't played like this for a long time, I forgot about it, and I'm going to go today."
"Okay, okay, miss, Xiaoju is going to prepare water and rice."
"Xiaoju, you make twenty-one plum rice balls, pack seven rice cakes, bring some fruits, lettuce, tomatoes or something, and condensed milk, strawberry flavored."
"Miss, do you want to bring a napkin, a towel or something?"
"You look at the preparation, I only think about eating."
Xiao Ju smiled, agreed and hurried to the kitchen to prepare. Qin Xin called Ah Gou and asked them to go on an outing together, Ah Gou didn't want to go, but he didn't want to provoke Qin Xin so he agreed, Tie Ming had no opinion, anyway, it was the last two days of the holiday, so it would be okay to let her play for two more days.
A group of people went out in a big way. Tie Ming drove the car, Ah Dog sat in the co-pilot seat, Qin Xin and Xiao Ju sat in the middle compartment, and Ah Mouse, Ah Worm, and Ah Cat were crowded into a pile in the tail compartment.
Everyone sang Wang Renmei's song "Drizzle", clapping their hands and beating the beat, shaking their heads and shaking their brains to be happy. Xiao Ju was shy and didn't sing, only beat the beat, turned to look at Qin Xin and Ah Mouse, applauded them, the car was very happy, and even Tie Ming, who was not smiling, hummed with them.
"Drizzle, non-stop. A slight breeze, blowing non-stopβ"
What a joy! Good scenery, good friends, good mood. The car drove smoothly on the main road in the suburbs, passing by a rice field, Qin Xin probed out of the window, and saw a group of tender yellow and fluffy ducklings swaying in the field, so cute, let Tie Ming stop, and he wanted to go down to play.
As soon as Tie Ming parked the car, Qin Xin couldn't wait to jump out of the car and tease the group of ducklings over, the ducklings "quacked", just ignored her, Ah Rat jumped out of the car, took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and went down to grab one for her.
Qin Xin was pleasantly surprised, thanked the rat, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, pursed his mouth and kissed the soft fluff of the duck, opened his mouth and smiled, revealing his white teeth like glutinous rice. The sun shone on Qin Xin's face, and her whole person was as hazy and sweet as the girl in the oil painting, and Ah Rat smiled.
"Quack-quack-" A big duck flapped its wings and ran violently from the other side of the rice field, running straight in the direction of Qinxin, looking like it was going to fight her desperately.
"Mom, where did this she-duck come out?"
Qin Xin ran away in fear, A Rat kicked at the duck, didn't carry it, he was almost about to fall, Xiaoju jumped out of the car and ran with Qin Xin, shouting to her. The people in the car were all laughing to death, Ah Dog was holding on to the car window and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and Ah Cat and Ah Worm rubbed each other's stomachs. Tie Ming opened the car door and jumped down, shouting at Qinxin's back:
"Put the duckling on the side of the road, or the mother duck will be chasing you."
Qin Xin was so panicked that she didn't hear clearly, Xiao Ju repeated Tie Ming's words behind her back, Qin Xin quickly threw this "hot potato" to the side of the road, and the mother duck really stopped chasing her, and staggered to her baby. Qin Xin ran with a sore leg, Mom, the 100-meter sprint in physical education class is not so tiring, Xiaoju helped her up, escorted her and slowly walked past the female duck, and breathed a big sigh.
"Oops, I'm scared."
Qin Xin walked over and saw that they were all covering their mouths and laughing at her, and gave a white eye to these "bad guys". A rat came up to her and asked her if she had bitten you.
"No, thank you, Rat, you're the best."
The group got on the car again, Tie Ming wanted to find an open place to sit down for a picnic, here is full of rice fields, it is really hard to find, unconsciously the car drove past a few loquat trees, the wide leaves flashed a little bit of orange light, the loquat is ripe, full and round, stimulating people's appetite. Qin Xin saw it and asked Tie Ming to stop.
The car stopped, Qin Xin looked at Ah Gou and then at the three people behind him, and pointed with his hand and said:
"Let's go, let's pick loquats."
Ah Gou and they got out of the car with her, and they were about to pick loquats, and Tie Ming also got out of the car, and saw a row of loquat trees on the side of the road, and the trees were full of yellow, orange and orange loquats. Qin Xin instructed Ah Gou to pick the loquats, picked up his jacket and picked it up on the ground, and asked Xiaoju to bring the bamboo rice basket on the car to hold the loquats. Tie Ming stood beside the car, watching them pick loquat with his hands on his waist, looking down and thinking.
After a while, a basket of rice was filled, and she happily picked it up, no matter how heavy it was, she refused to let go, and Ah Rat tried to help her carry it several times but she refused.
Tie Ming saw that they had picked enough, walked over, took out his wallet, took out a five-yuan bill, wrapped it in a handkerchief, tied a knot on the branch, Qin Xin watched him do all this, and became unhappy, Tie Ming turned around and said:
"You can't just take other people's things."
"Joke, will I be a few wild fruits?"
"Do you know that the loquat trees on the side of the road are all planted by the villagers themselves, how can there be the wild fruits you said?"
"You-okay, I don't have any money with me now, I'll pay you back when I go back."
Tie Ming walked over, took the rice basket in Qin Xin's hand, put it in the car, Qin Xin paused, Xiao Ju pulled her into the car, Qin Xin's eyes flicked, she didn't move, Xiao Ju pulled her again, and she was willing to get in the car. Sitting in the car, Ah Rat wiped a few loquat and distributed it to everyone, Qin Xin refused to eat, clasped his hands, and spit out a sentence:
"Hmph, other people's stuff."
A rat had no choice, Xiaoju took the loquat and skinned it for her, but Qin Xin still refused to eat it. Tie Ming asked Xiao Ju to give him food, Ah Gou took the loquat in Xiao Ju's hand and handed it to Tie Ming to eat, Tie Ming ate it in two bites, opened the window and spit out the kernel. Tie Ming drove the car while smashing the sweet loquat pulp, looked ahead, and smiled and picked up what Qin Xin had just said:
"That's also bought with money, don't you eat it? - Xiaoju, thank you for peeling another one for me. β
Ah Rat wiped another loquat clean and handed it over, but was stopped by Qin Xin.
"Give me this one, I haven't eaten it yet!"
Tie Ming smiled and didn't speak, and Xiao Ju hurriedly peeled the skin for her. Qin Xin is like this, you want her to be like this, she is like that, it's okay, just tease for a while. In the past few months that Tie Ming and Qin Xin have been together, they have already figured out her character, and this little lady has to go against him in everything, which is really idle.
The car drove slowly, and Ah Gou saw a flat land not far away, quite big and flat, so he proposed to Tie Ming to have a picnic there. Tie Ming looked in the direction of Ah Gou's finger, it was really good, so he drove the car over, parked on the side, and the group got out of the car. Standing at the bottom of the mountain, stretching out your arms, looking up and closing your eyes, you can feel the cool breeze of the valley.
Everyone else was helping to fetch food, lay out the cloths, and set the plates and forks, and Qin Xin stood on a large rock, put his hand on his eyebrows, and aimed at Xi Zhou as a telescope, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he jumped down and proposed to go to the rice field to catch fish.
"Qinxin, this is not good, the rice fields are full of locusts."
Ah Mao said reluctantly, Ah Mo also shrank his head in fear, and didn't want to go, Qin Xin didn't expect the two of them to go, and asked Ah Rat if he would accompany him, Ah Rat immediately agreed, but Tie Ming stopped Qin Xin and didn't let her go, for fear of being bitten by a locust by her, Qin Xin glared at him unhappily.
"You can't go, I'll go, the rice fields are full of leeches. You stay in this group of Xiaoju to tidy up, you won't be the eldest lady when you go out, don't always let others help you. β
Qin Xin understood that he was worried about himself, then good, you go to catch fish, I just wait to eat, so I pretended to be well-behaved, thanked him, spread my hand, and jumped back to help. Tie Ming and Ah Rat took a bucket and went down to the rice field to catch fish.
The autumn water is much shallower, and the carp that eat fat and strong swim happily in the rice fields, and the shadows of red, yellow, gray, black, and white flicker. O land of fish and rice, rice, fish, no one is fed by water. This river, this body of water, is my home, my roots, my tomb. Born here, alive here, and dead here.
Tie Ming and A Rat cooperate tacitly, the two of them are fishing for a fish, a fish, the small one is not easy to catch, and the big one will slip away after a water drift, and the big one will swim slowly, as long as the hand is fast, one fishing is accurate. With a single cup of tea, seven prey were captured. Tie Ming pressed some more money under a stone.
The two were about to call it a day, and the rat suddenly screamed "Yo Yo Yo", and hurriedly raised his foot to see, it turned out that a hairy crab caught his big toe, and the crab was clamped to death, Tie Ming finally opened it, to see that it was still a small one, and wanted to let it go, but the rat caught it, teased it and said:
"Don't let it go, take it back to Qin Xin to play, she must love to play."
