Chapter 50: Fruit Picking I

Xiao Ming didn't think about how the Lin family wanted to give her an explanation, there were a lot of things at home, and she was very busy these days.

After sending Xiao Han and the others away in the morning and completely handing over the burden of buying a carriage to Xia Xiaoba, she was busy at home.

The seedlings that were removed from the family are all ripe now, and the apples and pears do not need to be picked first, but the peaches and grapes have to be disposed of immediately.

Before leaving, she asked Xiao Han to bring a message to Kong Lin, asking him if he would accept the fruits, and if he wanted to collect them, he would hurry over and pull them, otherwise she would keep all the wine and sell it.

Xiao Ming and the Song family, who came to help, were about to pick grapes first, and in the backyard, under the grape trellis, they looked up, and the purple grapes above their heads were large and full, hanging in bunches, densely packed.

Song looked at the grapes this time and sighed: "This grape grows really well, and the taste is sweet, even if it ripens early." She knew that Xiao Ming's fruit trees grew faster than other people's, even the vegetables in the field also grew faster, and the seeds she scattered together began to sprout, and Xiao Ming's family could pick and eat them.

"Yes, it may be a fruit seedling dug in the mountains, it grows fast, and this wasteland has not been planted for several years, and it is fat." Xiao Ming found an excuse and said, it was all the credit of the space water.

Xiao Ming and Song were busy, from time to time patients came to see the doctor, Xiao Ming had to go to the pharmacy to see a doctor, the patient was important, Song asked her to go out to see the patient quickly, and she could pick it one by one.

Now after Xiao Ming goes to the town every Friday every month, everyone in Shili and Eight Villages knows that there is a doctor Xiao in Liujia Village, and the consultation fee is cheap, and there are more patients who go to Guangjitang to see her, and there are fewer people who come to see her at home than before.

In the morning, Xiao Ming received three patients, all of whom were villagers from nearby villages.

Far away, Liu Lin, Liu Yu and Liu Xiaofang came together, and far away, Liu Lin, the old daughter of the village chief's family, shouted happily.

"Sister Ming, what are you doing, we're here to play with you." Now there are only three unmarried girls in the village, and they are all eleven or twelve years old, and they have a very good relationship, and they usually play together when they are not alive.

The so-called one white covers a hundred ugliness, and one black destroys everything, Liu Lin has become white and ruddy since he used the snow mud given by Xiao Ming, and the whole person looks many times more beautiful than before.

"You're here, come in and sit." Xiao Ming greeted that it was the first time since the moving banquet that the three of them came to her house as guests.

"Sister Ming, what are you busy with? We're here to ask you to go to the town to play, and today my eldest brother is going to the town, let's go play together. Liu Lin invited.

"There's a lot of things going on at home, so I'm not going, so let's go play." Xiao Ming refused, there are a lot of things at home.

"If there's anything at home, we'll do it for you, and we'll go to the town to play when we're done." Liu Yu said generously.

"And me, there are a lot of us, and we'll be done in a while." Liu Xiaofang continued.

After the moving banquet, Xiao Ming generously donated medicine, and the three of them had a good impression of Xiao Ming, and this time they went to the town to specially invite Xiao Ming to play with them.

"It's not good." Xiao Ming hesitated, the visitor was a guest, how could there be a reason to let the guest help with the work.

"What's this, we often do work at home." Liu Lin said generously.

"Alright then, come in with me. I'm going to pick the fruit and make wine today. For the kindness of the three, Xiao Ming gladly accepted.

"Wow·····" Looking at the dense grape trellis in the backyard, the three of them were amazed, and the peach tree, apple and pear trees were full of ripe fruits.

"Your fruit is ripe." Liu Lin exclaimed that there was a pear tree in her house, which only bloomed, "Our pear tree has only bloomed." ”

"Yes, maybe the fruit seedlings were dug in the mountains, and they were at the foot of the mountains, and the ripening time was faster than in the village." Xiao Ming lied confidently. The effect of the spatial spirit spring water is too powerful, that is, the fruit seedlings moved out of the wasteland outside have grown a lot taller in a few days, it seems that she will have to put less water in the future, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.

The three little girls did not doubt it, and they all believed Xiao Ming's words.

"Your family has grown so much fruit." Liu Xiaofang was surprised, she saw that the reclaimed wasteland was planted with fruit trees and medicinal herbs, but there was no food, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Don't you grow food in your family?" How much do you have to harvest in a year to grow food on so much land, she heard her father talk to her mother at home, saying that the Xiao family has a lot of land, and they must invite someone to grow grain, and then they will come to help earn wages.

"If you don't grow food, no one in your family will grow food, and there are not enough people, so you can sell it for money by growing fruit and making some fruit wine." Xiao Ming said, she was also telling the truth, she and Xiao Han didn't know how to grow food.

Although she was a medical genius in her previous life, she didn't know anything about growing crops, and she didn't know what grain crops to plant in what season.

"Oh, you have to sell a lot of silver for so much fruit, you are so good at making wine." Liu Xiaofang said enviously, feeling a little lost in her heart.

She still feels a little pity that she can't grow food, but when she thinks that there are only three people in the Xiao family, there is no adult, and it is normal that she can't grow food.

"You can eat as much fruit as you like, you're welcome." Xiao Ming greeted the three of them.

"Yes, yes." Liu Yu is a self-cooked, cheerful and generous, and he has already taken the grapes and eaten them. While eating, he exclaimed, "These grapes are so big and they taste so sweet." “

"You, you know how to eat, why don't you help Song Da pick it." Liu Lin said with a smile, and moved a chair and picked it up.

There are three more people, and the speed of picking grapes is much faster, when the shelf was set up, Xiao Ming and Xiao Han originally had to be at the bottom of the tower, and they could reach it by standing on the chair.

Aunt Song and Liu Lin stood on the chair and reached out to pick it up, and the remaining three people picked it up below and put it in the prepared back basket. There were too many grapes, so Xiao Ming specially packed out a side room to store grapes.

Liu Yu volunteered to carry the grapes into the room and put them away.

"Sister Ming, my father asked me to tell you to pay more attention to safety, now that the weather is hot, there will be wild beasts coming down in the mountains." Liu Lin talked about his father's instructions while picking grapes.

"yes, five years ago, wolves came down from the mountain and scared me to death." Liu Xiaofang echoed that she was only seven years old that year, and the whole village could hear the wolf howl that night, which scared her to cry.

"Is there any beast down?" Xiao Ming was puzzled, she had only heard of it, but it had been almost three years since their family moved here, and they had never encountered a beast.

"Yes, there used to be several families living here, and this land was not a wasteland, and at that time wild beasts were very rampant, and they often went down the mountain to hurt people, and many of them moved to the other side of the river." Song picked grapes and told them about their youth.

At that time, the east of the bridge was close to Daqing Mountain, close to the river, it was convenient to get water, most of the people in the village lived here, far more prosperous than the west side of the bridge, there were often people who went up the mountain to hunt game, but because there were too many wild beasts, there were often fierce beasts going down the mountain to hurt people, and gradually the people with conditions moved away, and the land here was also deserted.

She used to live on the west side of the bridge, and she moved back to her old house when she had no way to live.

"When my father was young, he saw a herd of wild boars coming down the mountain, and the wild boars grew so big that they arched in the ground when they went down the mountain and ate all the sweet potatoes planted in the field." Liu Lin often listened to his father talk about the past when he was young.

"My father said, you must keep the door closed when the beast comes down the mountain."

"I see, thank you for reminding me, thank the village chief for me." Xiao Ming said gratefully.

"I want to say, when the beast comes down the mountain, Mingmei doesn't have to be afraid, the wall of your house is so high, they can't climb it, and the ground is planted with either fruit trees or medicinal herbs, and they don't eat it, can it still climb the tree to pick fruit and eat it." Liu Xiaofang said with a smile.
