128 Persimmon Tree

In recent days, Shen Sanya has often come to visit the door.

On this day, Shen Sanya was already the third time to come back to visit the door.

Shen Tuantuan wanted to act as if he didn't see it, looking at the persimmons full of trees hanging high in the courtyard of the Ning family next door, Shen Tuantuan was also greedy.

After a few days of recuperation, Shen Tuantuan waited for the wound to scab over, and it was completely unhindered to go to the ground.

Shen Sanya had already expressed his purpose so obviously, but unexpectedly, Shen Tuantuan didn't ask half a word. Shen Sanya couldn't, and when she came to the Shen family's courtyard for the third time, she pulled Shen Tuantuan to stand in the courtyard and pointed to the Ning family's persimmon tree. "In a few days, when the persimmons are fully ripe, they will be pecked and eaten by birds."

"Don't worry, there's no such possibility, the Shen family's persimmons were not even willing to be eaten by birds in previous years." Even if Shen Tuantuan is greedy, he doesn't admit it. Otherwise, I have to go to Ning Nanxing again, and it makes people uncomfortable to think about.

Of course, Shen Sanya knew that in previous years, the Shen family's persimmons were bitter and bitter, and they were not delicious at all. But every new year, Shen Sanya can't help but think that this year's persimmons must be different.

"Maybe it's going to be especially delicious this year? Don't you see, there seem to be a lot of birds wandering in the trees this year? ”

Hearing Shen Sanya say this, Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva. It seems that there are a little more birds. Could it be that this year's food is really delicious? It's not out of the question......

Shen Sanya saw Shen Tuantuan's hesitation, made persistent efforts, and posted another fire, "Otherwise, you go to Ning's house and say something, let's pick a few to eat?" Wouldn't it be a pity if such a persimmon tree was thrown on a tree? ”

"Well, it's a pity." Shen Tuantuan wavered without a position. "Let's go, I'll go find Grandpa Ning."

Shen Tuantuan thought that with his "life-passing" friendship with Old Man Ning, it would not be a problem to ask for a few persimmons.

Shen Tuantuan and Shen Sanya together, bent on their waists, drilled through the vegetable garden, and stood in the courtyard of the Ning family.

Old man Ning was drying herbs in the yard, and these days it was fine, and Old Man Ning seemed to be pounding these herbs almost every day. As soon as he saw Shen Tuantuan and the two of them coming, Old Man Ning just snorted and chirped, and then turned his head and went to pour his herbs again.

Shen Tuantuan touched his nose, Old Man Ning was blaming himself. blamed himself for not confessing Ning Nanxing's affairs to him.

"Grandpa Ningβ€”" Shen Tuantuan called softly, gently.

Old man Ning snorted. "What are you doing so hard, I'm not deaf yet!" Old man Ning roared angrily.

When Ning Nanxing spoke up, he knew that someone was coming. can make Old Man Ning speak so casually, it is estimated that it is Shen Tuantuan next door.

Ning Nanxing stood by the window, watching Shen Tuantuan rub his grandfather's side with a shy face, not knowing what he was talking about. Although Ning Nanxing wanted to scare and scare Shen Tuantuan, but because of the presence of outsiders, Ning Nanxing still stopped and stayed in the house to read.

Shen Tuantuan got Shen Sanya's silent cheer, Shen Tuantuan held Old Man Ning's arm, and tried his best not to let Old Man Ning turn the herbs again. "Grandpa Ning, your persimmons are almost ripe, otherwise, I'll help you taste this year's persimmons, which are delicious?"

Old man Ning didn't let go.

"Grandpa Ning, please, anyway, it's cheaper for this bird, so it's better to cheapen my group."

"Is it really delicious?"

Shen Tuantuan hurriedly nodded, "Tuan Tuan's production, it won't be bad, when do you think I've made something that is not delicious?" ”

Although Old Man Ning was naturally very satisfied with the food made by Tuan Tuan, it was just that this persimmon was bitter, and even the birds didn't want to eat it. "Is it really delicious?"

"I promise, it's delicious, it's sweet!"

Old man Ning loves tasteful things, and he also prefers sweets, so he finally relented. "That's okay, it's not delicious, I don't follow it."

Shen Tuantuan hurriedly responded.

"Tuan Tuan, I'll go and get a ladder and pick all the persimmons on the tree, so as not to cheapen the birds." Shen Sanya cheered, spread her feet and went to the small courtyard of the Ning family.

With the help of Shen Zhong and Shen Changzhi, the persimmons on the tree were quickly picked.

"Brother, there's another Huang Cancan over there." Shen Tuantuan pointed to a persimmon in the southeast corner of Shen Changzhi, "That persimmon is too big, you pick it carefully, don't break it." ”

"It's noisy."

Ning Nanxing's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Shen Tuantuan was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.

After Shen Changzhi picked the big persimmon that Shen Tuantuan said, he found that he didn't hear Shen Tuantuan's voice, picked up the branch, looked down, and saw Ning Nanxing standing beside Shen Tuantuan.

Don't think about it, you also know that Shen Changzhi is disgusted and panicked.

Shen Changzhi shook his head with a smile and sped up his speed to clear his tail.

Shen Tuantuan deliberately pretended to be stupid and smiled, and made up his mind not to speak.

Ning Nanxing didn't mean to tease Shen Tuantuan, he was really noisy and his brain hurt. "Like persimmons?"

Shen Tuantuan thought about it and shook his head. When it comes to fruits, the persimmons she hates the most. But persimmons, Shen Tuantuan still likes to eat.

"Don't like to pick it up?" Ning Nanxing couldn't understand what the little lady was thinking now.

Shen Tuantuan nodded, but he didn't realize that he was speaking. "For a person who protects food, even if he doesn't like to eat, he must not be cheap to others, even if this other person is a flock of birds!"

For this point, Shen Sanya and Shen Tuantuan are strikingly similar. It's no wonder that like gathers like things.

After Shen Tuantuan finished speaking, Shen Sanya was busy on the side, nodding in agreement. "Tuan Tuan is right! I'd rather be wronged and eat something that is not delicious, than a cheap bird! ”

For Ning Nanxing, it is cheaper to solve this tree full of persimmons. In previous years, the persimmons were ripe and fell to the ground, and just sweeping the yard every day was a big trouble. ”

A large persimmon tree plucked three baskets of persimmons.

Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but look up at the tall persimmon tree again, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This year is a bumper harvest!" ”

Shen Zhong carried the basket to his yard, and Shen Tuantuan tossed these persimmons.

"Grandpa Ning, how old is this persimmon tree? This tree is so big! Bigger than any other fruit tree in the village! ”

Old man Ning didn't remember how many years this fruit tree had been, but he only remembered that he wanted a more practical tree to carry in the yard.

Na Cheng thought, the one who helped to buy the yard was stunned to plant a fruit tree in the yard.

Old man Ning's original intention was to plant an evergreen tree, which is evergreen all year round, the tall canopy can block the sun in summer, and in autumn, there will be no fallen leaves, how good!

But I didn't expect that this practical tree would become a fruit tree in the eyes of the person who helped buy the yard! A fruit tree that looks like it's a bit old!

In the first year, when he lived in this courtyard, Old Man Ning was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the sparse persimmons.

After living for a long time, Old Man Ning was reluctant to cut down this seemingly useless fruit tree.

Old man Ning looked at the persimmon tree and sighed with some emotion, "That is, I have watered it even in the summer, can it not grow tall?" ”

Shen Tuantuan stirred up the old man Ning again as usual, and then went back to his yard to pack persimmons.

She plans to make persimmons from all the hard persimmons and keep them for a snack in the winter. When it is already a little soft, put it in a jar filled with water and cover it with ripeness.

"Sanya, let's remember, the persimmon that is covered by this is estimated to be ripe in seven or eight days. It's a shame to miss it. Shen Tuantuan peeled the persimmon and dried it on the bamboo strips.

Shen Sanya responded with a full mouth, "Leave this food matter to me, you can't be wrong, say it's seven days, and it won't be more than half a day." For this one of her own advantages, even her mother is convinced.

After finishing the persimmons, Shen Sanya remembered the mountain again. "Tuan Tuan, let's go to the mountains tomorrow. The wild chestnuts should also be ripe, let's go to the mountains to pick up some, shall we? ”

"I don't believe you, after so many years, when have we ever picked up chestnuts? It's better to wait for the rain to pick up a little more mushrooms, and when I go back to the house, my mushrooms are already empty. "Shen Tuantuan likes to eat mushrooms, put them in the soup, but I feel that my tongue is about to fall off.

Nowadays, the dried tofu made by the Shen family is all placed in the backyard. So there is no need to reverse day and night, in the past few days, He Chunlou has placed a big order, Shen Zhong and a few people, plus Shen Changzhi and Aunt Wang have helped, and they are busy until dark, which is enough.

"Tomorrow, I'll help you make dinner early, heat it in the pot, and let's go up the mountain." Shen Sanya was still actively persuading.

Shen Tuantuan thought that he hadn't been to the mountain for a long time, so he simply responded. "That's not necessary, there's Aunt Wang at home. You remember not to do it too early tomorrow. ”

"Okay."

Early the next morning, Shen Sanya seemed to have lost her memory, and just after dawn, she came with a basket on her back. "Hurry up, my mother said, it rained all night last night, maybe there are mushrooms on the mountain! We're the ones who have to rush early! ”

"The early bird gets the worm!"

Shen Sanya stood at the door of Shen Tuantuan's room, said a few words, and knocked three times.

Aunt Wang is cutting flour and steaming steamed buns on a steamer. I heard Shen Sanya's angry voice, and said with a smile: "Sanya, have you eaten breakfast?" ”

"Aunt Wang, I've already eaten, I'll ask Tuan Tuan to go up the mountain."

"Otherwise, how many more steamed buns? It's just out of the pot, and it's fragrant. Aunt Wang pulled the hesitant Shen Sanya and walked towards the stove room.

"Soβ€”why don't I try one?" Shen Sanya unloaded the basket and went with Aunt Wang.

By the time the group got up, Shen Sanya had already eaten three steamed buns, and was holding his stomach and burping.

"I accidentally ate again, just in time, we can go to the mountains and walk around a few laps to eliminate food." Shen Sanya saw Shen Tuantuan coming, so she urged Shen Tuantuan to hurry.
