After autumn, it gets cooler and cooler day by day.

Seeing that the persimmon tree, which had only one yellow-orange fruit before, was already orange and began to turn a little red in a blink of an eye.

Ah Shuang stayed under the persimmon tree every day, looking at the fruit on the tree, and his eyes were full of yearning.

She likes to eat persimmons.

Just wait for the persimmons to ripen, let the little straight go up the tree and pick all the persimmons.

She had to take some of them and give them to Fu Jin, and then make the rest into persimmons. When you wait until winter, if you want to eat candied fruit, you can still have persimmons to eat.

One cold morning.

Before dawn, Xiao Shunzi opened her hazy sleepy eyes and heard the sound of knocking on the door from outside the house.

Knock knock, the strength is great, obviously the thief has the spirit.

Xiao Shunzi's heart jumped, and his heart said Could it be that the master has something to come to him? That's amazing, he's slept until now...

Just thinking about this, Xiao Shunzi looked up at the window, and it was still dark outside.

…

Sleeping until now? It's not dawn yet, so the master shouldn't come over so early to call himself, right? Who's that, it's annoying! Don't let people sleep well!

He was helping Ah Shuang mend her socks yesterday. Ah Shuang said that she was not good at craftsmanship and asked him to help mend her socks.

When Xiao Shunzi was at home, he did all kinds of work. Not to mention mending socks, even if you want to embroider socks, he will do it!

"Who, who, it's so early in the morning, do you want anyone to sleep? It's..."

What a lack of morality!

Xiao Shunzi scolded and went to open the door. But before he could finish his words, he saw a pair of big watery eyes looking at him.

It turned out to be Ah Shuang. She tilted her head to look at herself and asked tentatively, "You... Haven't gotten up yet? ”

"It's up."

Xiao Shunzi originally felt that he was angry when he got up, but when he saw Ah Shuang's worried eyes, he suddenly lost any anger.

Even... There was also a feeling of distress in my heart.

"When I got up, I was still under the covers, thinking about what I should do today." Xiao Shunzi smiled and said, "I'll help you mend your socks." ”

"Actually, it's good if you buy new socks, the socks are washed too much, and they are not as warm as before. I'll buy it for you. By the way, did you come here so early in the morning, was there something going on? ”

"I just like to wear old socks." Ah Shuang stuck out her tongue and said, "It's nothing, it's just... The persimmons are ripe, can you help me pick persimmons on the tree? ”

"Don't worry, the persimmons I picked, I will not only give them to Fujin, but also give some to you. How many are you going to eat? Is three enough? More than enough is not enough. ”

Xiao Shunzi is bitter in her heart. That's the persimmon he worked so hard to transplant back home, but now... But I could only eat three. But as long as it is given to him by Ah Shuang, it means that Ah Shuang remembers him.

"Actually, I didn't want to give it to you too much..."

Ah Shuang looked at Xiao Shunzi in a daze, so she tugged Xiao Shunzi's arm and said, "But Fujin said that you worked hard, let me give you some of it." I was so distressed that I felt that three was enough. Or Fujin cares about you! ”

"What do you think? Do you like to eat persimmons? ”

Xiao Shunzi's heart sank, and she only felt a burst of angina. He didn't know how to answer Ah Shuang's question.

"I—" Junko opened her mouth, feeling for the first time that life was so difficult.

"I'm kidding you." Ah Shuang laughed out loud, and dragged Xiao Shunzi as she walked: "Don't look like you are so bitter and hateful." ”

"I'm still willing to give up three persimmons. Don't worry, when the persimmons are made, I will remember to give you some. ”

As soon as Xiao Shunzi heard this, his heart warmed again.

As the saying goes, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell, sure enough, something has changed... It's still pretty easy.

On the edge of the persimmon tree, Ah Shuang had already found a ladder. When the two of them passed, the sky was already white, and there were some signs that it was going to shine.

"We've got to hurry." Ah Shuang looked into the distance and said, "It's time for the master to get up at this hour." Later, Fujin will also get up for breakfast, and I will send it to Fujin when he has breakfast. ”

"Okay." Xiao Shunzi answered, and went up the tree neatly.

The persimmon tree was transplanted by Xiao Shunzi who specially visited Zhuangzi and found those who could plant trees. Luckily, they bore fruit in the first year of transplantation.

It's not a lot, but it's a knot in the fourth elder brother's mansion, so it can be regarded as a bumper year.

Xiao Shunzi carefully went to the tree, took the basket, and picked the persimmons that were already orange and red, and put them in the basket.

The persimmon tree is not very tall, and the ladder is not very high. On the top of some heads, the little shunzi has to hang the basket on the branch and reach out to reach it.

He was actually a little afraid of heights, and when he stretched out his hand, his back was a little cold.

But Ah Shuang found him, then he must handle this matter well.

Persimmon on the top of the head, there is one slightly farther away.

Xiao Shunzi couldn't reach it, so he pulled the branches and leaves on the side, trying to pull down the branches a little, and then go to pick the persimmon.

But Xiao Shunzi just stretched out his hand, and the persimmon on the top was actually ripe for a long time, and it fell down all of a sudden.

At this moment, the persimmon was impartial and smashed right on Xiao Shunzi's head.

"Ahh

"What's wrong?" Ah Shuang hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Shunzi stood tall, and was blocked by the tree, Ah Shuang kept watching from below, and his neck was almost sore. But she couldn't see the situation above, so she naturally didn't know what happened to Xiao Shunzi here.

"Nothing... Nothing..."

Xiao Shunzi went down the ladder, and Ah Shuang still felt strange, there were still several persimmons on it that had not been picked.

But as soon as she saw Xiao Shunzi's face full of persimmons, she immediately laughed.

"How did you get that? It turned out that the scream just now turned out to be..."After Ah Shuang finished laughing, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll go get hot water and wash you." ”

After a toss, Xiao Shunzi wiped his face very depressedly, and did not forget to look up at the persimmon tree above his head.

There are still a few persimmons that have not been picked. Thinking so, Xiao Shunzi made a gesture to pick persimmons again.

"Don't go." Ah Shuang stopped Xiao Shunzi at once, and said: "Those persimmons are quite high, and it is not easy for you to pick them if you go up like this." Besides..."

"In our fourth elder brother's mansion, aren't there often birds coming? Leave it for the birds to eat. ”
