Another year has passed, and the vast majority of the apricot trees in the apricot grove have borne fruit this year.

In order to prevent the fruit from being stolen, Ye Hao asked people to build a wooden house near the apricot grove after the beginning of spring, and invited several people in the village to take turns guarding it.

Thanks to the early preparation of the fruit, all the fruit was well preserved.

Xing Shi walked into the apricot orchard, looked at the fruitful apricot trees, and exclaimed: "It's strange for you to say, the crops in the field are watered every day, and they don't grow much better. ”

Ye Hao's heart was a little weak, cough cough, in fact, the fruit forest can grow like this, her credit is not small, since she no longer makes fat powder every day, she will come over and walk around if she has nothing to do.

Under the cover of the fence, the trees were watered by the sneakers.

"Mother, don't look at it, there are so many fruits, if you don't pick them in time, it's a pity if they are ripe and fall to the ground."

She urged, turned her head to take the bamboo basket, and beckoned to her sister: "Xing'er, let's do it together." ”

"Here we go." Ye Xing came over with a smile, and the two of them began to get busy together.

When the other people saw it, they also got busy.

It took three days for a few people to pick the apricots about the same, and the remaining apricots were either too tall to pick.

Either it will take a few days to ripen, or it is hidden and hidden, and they have not found it, and Ye Hao doesn't care about this, just the apricots picked are enough for them to be busy.

She simply didn't lock the gate of the apricot orchard, and anyone could pick the remaining apricots.

At this moment, the children in the village were happy, and they rushed in in in groups, climbing high and low to pick apricots to eat!

The apricot trees in the apricot orchard are well raised, and the fruits are particularly delicious, sweet and sour, and there is more flesh, which is especially popular with children in this year of lack of sugar and food.

Of course, it is not only the children who come to pick apricots, but also some families in the village who are not very well-off, and they also join in the fun.

Ye Hao didn't care, she just made a request, it was okay to pick fruits, but definitely not to destroy fruit trees!

In the new house, Ye Hao was tidying up the apricots while talking to her mother: "Mother, there are a lot more apricots this year than last year, let's send more to the people we know in the village, right?" ”

Xing's hand did not stop, and he responded: "I think so too, you Aunt Wang, Uncle Zhang..... Uncle Li's family, I am going to send twenty catties to my family. ”

"And your third uncle, also send some more, and the old mansion, the old clan can't send less!"

Ye Hao nodded, began to divide the apricots, each family installed a large bamboo basket, and the two of them worked all afternoon before they could be regarded as dividing the apricots.

What you eat at home, give it away, feed the pigs and chickens with broken skin, and the distinction is clear.

For a few days, there was a sweet fragrance in the new house, so many apricots, it would definitely not be enough to eat them alone, so Ye Hao began to make apricot jam again.

After this wave, she immediately began to make apricot wine, and it took several days to finish this stubble.

...............

In a house in the quiet alley of Fucheng, Ye Ming still got up early as usual, and went out to eat steamed porridge on the side street.

I came back with a few more buns and knocked on the door of the next room: "I brought the buns back, do you want to eat them?" ”

"Squeak!" With a bang, the door of the house was opened from the inside, Li Tianming rubbed his eyes, yawned, disheveled, and had no image at all.

"Thanks." He took the bun and ate one in three or two bites, and his spirit was a little better.

Ye Ming didn't say much, turned around and walked to his room, Li Tianming hurriedly followed behind, while continuing to eat steamed buns.

On the other hand, he said: "Brother Ming, I'll go to Tianxianglou with them tonight, aren't you really going?" ”

After Ye Ming entered the room, he sat down at the table, picked up the inkstone and began to grind the ink, and replied lightly: "Don't go." ”

"Don't, it's rare for us to come to Fucheng, the exam is about to start, what's the fun of you being stuffed in the house every day?"

Li Tianming sat down on the stool next to the table and looked at him without blinking: "Why don't you go around with me, and by the way, you can chat with those friends about poetry?" ”

Ye Ming stopped his movements, sighed melancholy, turned his head to look at him, helpless, you said you, why are you so persistent?

Whispering this in his ear every day, after all, they are friends, they are so enthusiastic, he has refused too many times, in the end it will hurt his feelings, he thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay." ”

"You agreed? Hahaha, okay, wait for the evening to let those little ladies see your demeanor....."

Night soon fell, and most of the people in the city were resting, but some of the streets were bustling with activity.

Outside the Tianxiang Building, the red lanterns are hung high, people come and go, lively and extraordinary, and a few coquettish laughter can be heard from time to time.

Ye Ming was wearing a green robe and a hosta on his head, and together with Li Tianming, he walked here.

In the past two years, the life of the family has become better, he has not worried about eating and drinking, but his height has gone up a lot, although he is only a young man of sixteen years old, but he looks good-looking, handsome and dignified.

The old bustard at the door saw a few people, his eyes immediately lit up, and he greeted him with a handkerchief, and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, a few Lang Jun are here, hurry up, please inside!" ”

A few people walked into the lobby with the little guy, and each sat down behind the case, and Li Tianming was familiar with a lady to accompany him.

Turning his head and saying to his friend beside him: "Brother Ming, you are here for the first time, let me tell you, the lady here, that is not bad, do you need me to introduce it to you?" ”

Ye Ming shook his head, took a sip of the tea on the table, and swept his gaze around: "No need." ”

"Forehead....." Li Tianming's words were stuck in his mouth, and he was so uncomfortable, looking at his eyes with a trace of resentment.

You are so young, how can you be so calm? You're like this, I don't feel a sense of accomplishment?

Ye Ming ignored his friend's eyes, and his eyes still kept looking around, obviously taking this trip as a pure long-term insight.

After a few breaths, his gaze suddenly froze, and without thinking about it, he stood up and walked forward.

Li Tianming behind him blinked, looking confused.

But he saw Ye Ming walking a few steps diagonally to the opposite side, and said in front of the person who had just sat down: "Fourth uncle, why did you come here?" ”

Where did he get the money?

Ye Zhengxing had patronized and talked to his friend beside him before, and it wasn't until his nephew spoke up that he noticed him, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head to look at it, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

Facing the curious, inquisitive eyes of a few people beside him, he had to stand up and said lightly to Ye Ming, "Let's go over there and talk." ”

The two of them walked to the corner, dressed in satin clothes, dressed appropriately, and did not look hungry or cold at all.

On the contrary, Ye Zhengxing, who was very tired, took the lead in speaking: "Da Lang, you see me here, don't tell your grandmother when you go back!" ”
