Chapter 19: Wild Mountain Orange (II)
"Qin Xiaoyan! How do you know so much? ”
"Qin Xiaoyan! Have you become a sperm? ”
"Qin Xiaoyan! Why don't you sell such a good thing in your store? ”
The friends asked questions again and again.
"Aha! The more books you read, the more you will know. Don't you know? Every summer, when the wild oranges near our village are still green, they are bought as medicinal herbs. My dad said that this little thing is very good for the stomach when eaten, and my dad can't buy it. Mom's stomach is not good, so Dad did everything possible to get it for Mom to eat, and once my Mom ate wild oranges, I would repeat it once. Qin Xiaoyan replied with a smile.
"Let's all taste it first, this good thing, I'll pick some later, I'll go up the tree and pick some, let's all pack it and go home" Yao Laichao began to urge again......
The skin of this wild orange is very thin and smooth, or thick and rough. When you peel off the skin, the taste is very fresh, and there is a sweet and sour aroma that rushes straight to you. People can't help but salivate, chew the juice overflowing, sweet and sour immediately wake up the taste buds, so that people can't help but want to eat one petal and want to eat the next petal. The juice that was too late to swallow quickly slipped from the corners of the mouth......
"Wow! It's so delicious! I'm going to take some home and use them as fruit for my parents!" Li Yang said while chewing, first wiping the juice from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then kept shaking the juice on his hand.
"My dad seems to be soaking in the wine jar every day, and I'm going to bring a few more back to my wine fairy dad to eat and nourish his old man's wine stomach." Yao Lai, who has always been unreliable, finally showed filial piety this time, wiped the juice on his hands with the corner of his clothes and said.
"I'll just take two and put them in my trouser pocket to eat by myself, grandma doesn't like to eat sour, grandma said that my mother likes to eat sour when she is pregnant with me, but unfortunately she is not at home." Fan Ya thought: If my mother is at home, I will go all over the mountains and fields every day to pick wild mountain oranges for my mother. As he spoke, he rubbed the juice with his index finger, then put it in his mouth and sucked it, and naturally wiped the remaining juice on the cuffs with a lift of his wrist.
"I've got enough to eat here! Just put it in your stomach! I don't bring it to my aunt and their family, and no one in their family is a good thing!" Xiao Jing said angrily that he rubbed the juice on his hand directly on the big stone.
"It's delicious! I don't take it so far, and my grandparents don't eat sour! It's also saved, wait for grandma to laugh at me again, lazy people love to eat sour. Liao Xixi looked at the juice in his hands and was worried.
"I'm so tired, I have to bring a few more for my mother to eat, it's rare to meet it! I've got tissues, don't wipe them around, get dirty! Qin Xiaoyan said in his heart: Speechless! What a rotten habit you have! Pull out a tissue as you speak.
"I'll tell you a secret, my mom called last night and asked my dad to pick me up two days later, and they asked me to transfer to school in the city. This seems to be the last time I'll play with you. Liao Xixi said with some loss.
"Why should I transfer you?" Fan Ya asked anxiously.
"Alas! My mom said that I was in the third grade now, and I still couldn't do anything but do some homework. Liao Xixi rubbed his hands and said confidently.
"Stupid! You don't learn to do it yourself! Fan Ya said angrily.
"It's my grandparents who have been helping me do it, and I enjoyed it at first, but then I got used to it and didn't bother to move! I don't tell you, I want Qin Xiaoyan to accompany me to pick chrysanthemums!" Without waiting for Qin Xiaoyan to react, Liao Xixi dragged Qin Xiaoyan away.
"Yao Lai! Boss Xiaoyao, let's pick wild oranges! You climb a tree!" Li Yang urged and pushed Yao's money to go under the tree.
Yao Lai picked the banknote from the tree and threw it to Li Yang.
Xiao Jing sat directly on the grass near Fan Ya, and ate one after another.
Fan Ya sat on the grass with Erlang's legs crossed and leaned against the big stone, plucked a dog's tail grass next to her, and played with it unconsciously in her hand. When he looked up and saw Yao coming to pick wild oranges, he looked at it and shouted: "Brother Yao!" There's a big orange hanging on the top of the tree, so climb up quickly! ”
"No! The top branches are too thin! I can't go up, I don't want that orange no matter how big it is! Yao Laiqian replied loudly, as if he was afraid that Fan Ya would not hear it.
Fan Ya glanced at Liao Xixi and Qin Xiaoyan, who were bending over to pick flowers in the distance, were really envious, jealous and hateful: Liao Xixi, a lazy thing, was actually crooked, and he could live with his parents. Looking at the big orange on the top again, I suddenly thought that I was the wild mountain orange, a wild mountain orange that no one wanted, and my nose was sour.
At this moment, Xiao Jing said to himself: "Liao Xixi is about to leave with my mother, I must speed up, do everything possible to contact my mother, and then go with her." ”
Yao Laiqian on the tree looked at the big and red wild mountain oranges like small lanterns under the tree, and then looked at the orange tree that made him toss and lacked arms and legs. There were only a few oranges left that looked down on the trees like crooked melons and cracked dates, swaying on the trees with Yao's money.
At this time, Yao Laiqian had a great sense of accomplishment, and when he saw that the two goods in the distance were still picking flowers, he shouted at them: "Two little girls picking flowers!" Come back! We're going home! ”
The two guys ran up to them out of breath.
Qin Xiaoyan has a handful of flowers in his left hand and a handful of fluffy dogtail grass in his right hand.
Liao Xixi held a large bouquet of flowers in both hands and said to Li Yang: "Li Yang! Can you help me get a garland? ”
"Can't! You can plug it directly, and the sun is about to go down without time to rub against you. Ruth hurried home so far, my parents are still waiting for me to go back to cook! Li Yang decisively refused.
"Qin Xiaoyan! Why did you pick a handful of dogtail grass when you picked flowers? You're always so different!" Fan Ya looked at Qin Xiaoyan and asked puzzled.
Qin Xiaoyan smiled and said: "I see the dogtail grass here, it grows chubby, green and fluffy, I really like it so much, I take it home and play with my brother!"
"Stop grinding! Come and help pack the oranges! Yao Lai reminded him.
"Yao Lai! You can't pack a whole bunch of stuff!" Li Yang looked at the mountain orange and was worried.
"I grabbed a few nylon bags at home before I went out, put them in my school bag, and then I used them, and if it wasn't enough, I took off my coat and used it as a bag." Yao Laiqian said with a confident look.
Everyone began to hurriedly pack wild mountain oranges, and after a while, large, small, red, and green bags, plus Yaolai's blue jacket, and schoolbags were full.
Everyone looked at the results well. There are those who carry it, those who hug, those who carry, those who carry, and those who go home.
The children returning at dusk, the shadows are stretched by the sunset. The setting sun shone into the dense trees, through the cracks in the trees and through the middle of the branches, and the shining light fell on the earth full of yellow leaves.
The majestic mountains in the distance, under the reflection of the setting sun, are draped in a layer of golden yellow, which looks particularly magnificent.
