On the weekend, Wang Jiwen, who went to school in the county No. 1 middle school, came home and came to Zeng Fan after being bored. Wang Jiwen and Zeng Fan are playmates who grew up together, he is two years older than Zeng Fan, and he has just been admitted to the county No. 1 middle school. It is only an hour's drive from the county No. 1 Middle School to Shanhe Town, and Wang Jiwen returns home every few weeks. He told Zeng Fan about the situation of the county No. 1 middle school, which was specially approved in large quantities, what school is perverted, the management is too tight, there is no freedom, the food in the canteen is expensive and not delicious, the roommate does not wash socks and loves to gamble, and so on.

Zeng Fan in turn comforted that the county No. 1 middle school is the highest university in the county after all, and the college entrance examination results have been the first in the county year after year, and his great-father once said: "Being admitted to the county No. 1 middle school is equivalent to stepping into the university with one foot." "Good schools are naturally well managed. Although Wang Jiwen still shook his head, Zeng Fan's words were still very useful in his ears, because the so-called alma mater was useless that he could criticize, but he couldn't allow others to say half a bad word.

The two of them blew the cow for a long time, and when they got bored, they discussed going out to do something, and finally reached an agreement: there is a big orchard across the ditch from Shanhe Middle School, which is spacious and secluded, and it is a good place to show off their skills. In order to strengthen his courage, Zeng Fan invited Gu Ming to join again, and Gu Ming called one of his cousins, Gu Tiancheng.

Gu Tian is tall and brave, and during the winter vacation last year, a fire burned the corn stalks of the whole neighboring village, and the people of Dinghe Village and the neighboring village arrested him together, and his father took a shovel and preached everywhere that he would discount his two legs. He hid in a cave in Majiashan for three days, and then he couldn't help but sneak back home, although his legs were saved, but he still did not escape his father's violent beating. Afterwards, he proudly said that the fireworks for the New Year would be staged in advance, so that the people of the two villages could watch a free fireworks.

Gu Tiancheng is very familiar with the situation of the big orchard in Xishan, in fact, he is no stranger to the orchards in the nearby ten miles and eight townships, and visiting other people's orchards is no different from visiting his own backyard. Zeng Fan's neighbor's orchard was patronized by Gu Tiancheng, but this just avenged Zeng Fan, because Zeng Fan liked to raise silkworms when he was a child, and his own family did not plant mulberry trees, so he had to go to the neighbor's house to pick mulberry leaves, but the owner of the mulberry tree always quietly applied pesticides to the mulberry trees, so Zeng Fan watched his silkworm baby who was about to spin silk struggle to die in pain spitting green water in pain. The night when Gu Tiancheng swept through the neighboring orchard, Zeng Fan finally felt a little comforted by the plot.

After dark, Gu Ming and Gu Tiancheng came to find Zeng Fan, Zeng Fan called Wang Jiwen, and the two of them each carried a schoolbag, Gu Ming didn't bring anything, and Gu Tiancheng brought a sack.

There was no moon that night, and at first the four of them could still see each other's faces, but as they walked, they could only see vague human figures. As they walked, the four talked in whispers, afraid of waking up those who had already fallen asleep. In fact, they had already walked on the remote path at the foot of the mountain at this time, and even if they shouted, they might not be able to scare people.

Gu Tian was ripe, and he was at the front to lead the way, followed by Gu Ming, followed by Wang Jiwen. The road was narrow and rugged, Gu Tiancheng walked fast, and Zeng Fan could barely keep up with Wang Jiwen's footsteps. The weeds on both sides of the path were overgrown, and the tips of the grass swept to the ankles of pedestrians from time to time.

Zeng Fan walked for nearly an hour in fright, feeling that the weeds were decreasing, the road was getting wider, but the feet were muddy, it should have been to the irrigated farmland, Zeng Fan thought to himself, since he had arrived at the farmland, the orchard should not be far away. Sure enough, soon he heard Gu Tiancheng, who was walking in the front, whispering, "It's here." ”

The orchard is very large, Zeng Fan can vaguely see all kinds of fruit trees, if anyone comes to this orchard for the first time at night, they will definitely get lost. There should be a pond next to the orchard, and Zeng Fan can still hear the cries of toads one after another. There are so many kinds of fruit trees here, some of them are ripe, and most of them are still green.

Gu Tiancheng was about to take Zeng Fan and others to find the ripe fruit, when Wang Jiwen suddenly shouted that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet. Zeng Fan was afraid that everyone would be separated after a while, so he had to go to the neighborhood to find the fruit, but he didn't dare to get too close, for fear of smell.

Because he couldn't see the fruit, Zeng Fan had to touch it with his hands, and after touching it, he picked it off and took a bite, to taste whether it was ripe, and then he was too lazy to pick it, and he took a bite directly when he touched it, fortunately these fruits were not marked with pesticides, otherwise Zeng Fan would inevitably end up with the same fate as his silkworm. Zeng Fan has tasted a lot, most of them are still very young, and he was about to change places, but suddenly heard Wang Jiwen shouting: "Zeng Fan, save me!" Help me! ”

After hearing Wang Jiwen's call for help, Zeng Fan's first reaction was that he was caught by the owner of the orchard, and he wanted to save him, but he was worried that he wouldn't catch him. When Zeng Fan was hesitating, the Gu Ming brothers had also heard the sound and rushed over. Now Zeng Fan finally had no worries: it was so dark, and there were many people in him, so he was afraid that he would be a bird.

Wang Jiwen shouted a few times in a row, Zeng Fan and several people listened to the sound to identify the position, and soon found him, but found that Wang Jiwen was standing just right. Zeng Fan was puzzled, Wang Jiwen twisted for a long time before he was embarrassed to say that he was afraid of smelling to others just now, so he found a remote place to defecate, but after solving it, he accidentally fell into a small pit, and he thought he had fallen into someone else's trap before shouting for help.

After such a fuss, a lot of time was wasted, Gu Tiancheng directly took Zeng Fan and a few people to pick ripe fruits, it turned out that he had already stepped on a good point, and he already knew where the fruits were ripe and where they were not yet ripe. Zeng Fan's schoolbag was filled quickly, but Gu Tiancheng's sack was only half full, in order to go home early, Zeng Fan had to help Gu Tiancheng fill his sack again.

After returning home, Zeng Fan hid the fruit in his schoolbag and went to bed. Early the next morning, Zeng Fan heard someone talking outside, and he didn't need to listen carefully to know that it was Wang Jiwen's mother. Zeng Fan was worried about whether the matter of going to the orchard last night was revealed, and he remembered a knock on the door outside. Zeng Fan knew that being a shrunken turtle would not work in front of Zeng's mother, so he had to get dressed and get up, but he still had to pretend to be awake and ask, "What did you call me so early?" Weekends don't let people sleep in. ”

"What did you do last night?" Great-mother asked with an unkind face.

"Just sleep, what else can I do."

"You tell your Aunt Wang, hum."

"Zeng Fan", the queen mother said with a smile, "Jiwen went out very late yesterday and came back in the middle of the night, I asked him what he was doing, he said he went to the West Garden to pick fruits, I didn't believe it, he said he went with you, you tell Auntie honestly, is there such a thing, he dares to lie, see if I don't go back to clean him up." ”

Wang Jiwen's mother likes to intimidate Wang Jiwen since she was a child, Zeng Fan played with Wang Jiwen when she was a child, every time Wang Jiwen got into trouble, the queen mother took a kitchen knife and scratched on Wang Jiwen's ear, and asked Zeng Fan to act with her, saying that Wang Jiwen's ear was killed and bleeding.

First, he was forced by the queen mother's obscenity, and secondly, he also enjoyed Wang Jiwen's appearance of not being scared and screaming, he actually accompanied the queen mother to perform this scene all the time. How do you know that this kid doesn't grow up, he is still so immoral when he enters the county No. 1 Middle School, under the coercion and temptation of the enemy, his position is so unresolute, he becomes a traitor so easily, and betrays his comrades.

Zeng Fan hated Wang Jiwen's spinelessness, and thought that he would never take him to play with him next time. The queen mother had already seen that Wang Jiwen's words were eighty percent true. She immediately said: "Zeng Fan is a good boy, I am relieved that Jiwen is with him, I am afraid that he will go elsewhere to mess around." Child, it's okay to be greedy and pick a few fruits" Hearing this, Zeng Fan almost shouted: "That......'s good!" But the queen mother continued: "Zeng Fan, don't do this kind of thing in the future, it's always bad to steal other people's things, and if you get used to stealing, it's bad." ”

Wang Jiwen's mother was rambling for a long time before going back. Zeng Fan thought that he was going to be trained by his mother next, but he didn't know that his great-mother said a few words similar to the queen mother and gave up, Zeng Fan couldn't help but be grateful, thinking that after all, he was his biological mother, and then blurted out: "Mom, I know it's wrong, I won't do this thing again in the future." Zeng's mother glared at Zeng Fan. Say, "It's good that you know." ”
