Chapter 372: Picking bayberry

"Grandma!" Li Hu saw Zhao Xiaoqin and waved his hand happily at her.

"Hey, where's your mother?" Li Xingzhi came out from behind and saw that there was only Li Hu, and his face suddenly sank.

"I'm not your in-laws now, Huzi is clamoring to come back, saying that he misses you, so there is no way, I will send him back, and now the people are also delivered, let's go." Mu Shui didn't have much anymore, he put the clothes and food that Li Hu had bought in Mu's house, put them on the ground, and then drove the ox away.

"Dad, grandma, grandpa, I'm back!" Li Hu looked at the familiar home, he was very happy, although the Mu family was good, it was not comfortable here.

"Slap" Li Hu suddenly received a slap on the face, he covered his face in disbelief, and looked at Li Xingzhi in shock.

"You little rabbit, what else can you do except eat like a pig all day long, you can't do this at all, what do you want to do, phew." Li Xingzhi scolded and kicked Li Hu hard, and Li Hu fell into the mud all of a sudden.

"Woooooooooo Li Hu came back enthusiastically, but he was slapped and kicked, and he cried bitterly.

"Cry, cry, cry, your father and I are not dead, it's really unlucky." After Li Xingzhi finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Xiaoqin watched Li Xingzhi get so angry, she didn't dare to say anything, but she stepped forward and hugged Huzi in distress, and looked up and shouted at Li Xingzhi.

"Go and grab the money, or what to do!" Li Xingzhi left without looking back, leaving Li Hu, who cried bitterly, and Zhao Xiaoqin, who called him evil.

Time flies, the cotton seedlings have all grown, and Muxiu's family mobilized and transplanted the cotton seedlings into the field.

It was originally expected to plant ten acres of cotton, but a small number of dead cotton seedlings and seeds that did not germinate were eliminated, and only nine acres of cotton could be planted, and the last acre was replanted into peanuts.

In addition to sunlight, there is also a need for sufficient water for irrigation, and the weeds in the field must be cleaned up, so every two days, Muxiu and they will come to water and hoe.

Cotton is easy to be targeted by pests in the seedling period, which will affect the growth of cotton, and Muxiu will be the most common pests and diseases, such as blight, charcoal maggot, cotton aphid, ground tiger, etc., are prepared with corresponding pesticides, intensive spraying.

After cleaning up the wasteland, the wheat in Muxiu's field began to bloom and was about to ripen.

The cherries from the cherry trees in the yard have been edible, this is the first year, and the cherries are not much.

Mu Xiu took a basin of water, picked the cherries, and ate them with water.

"It's so sweet, this cherry is so delicious." Li Pandi grabbed a handful of cherries, passed them in the clear water, and ate several in one bite.

"This thing is on fire, eat less." Mu Xiu reminded.

"That's all there are a few baskets, let's get on the fire." Li Pandi didn't care and continued to eat.

"Brother Chen, let's go see Yangmei." Mu Xiu counted the days, and the bayberry should be ripe, but he was busy with the fields recently and forgot about it.

"Okay." Chen Xuhui grabbed a handful of cherries and stuffed them into his mouth and stood up.

"I'm going too." Li Pandi also quickly stood up.

"Brother Pan stays at home, the mountain road is not easy to walk, I'll go, it's nothing anyway, there are more people who can pick more." Mu Xiaoshu stopped her daughter with a voice.

Li Pandi pouted and was unhappy, Mu Xiaoshu squatted down and coaxed her softly.

"I'll go too." Mu Shui and Chen Jianqiang also participated.

"Okay then, everyone hurry up and put on the basket and go early and come back early." Mu Xiu looked at the time, it was exactly ten o'clock at this time, and if you walked fast, you could come back at four o'clock in the afternoon.

"I'll wrap the chicken cake, you're hungry for lunch." Zhou Shuilian turned around and went into the house to prepare something to eat.

After everyone had filled up the water and something to eat, they walked to the back mountain.

Chen Xuhui was familiar with the road, leading the way in front, and the rest of the people followed behind him, the bayberry tree looked quite close before, but he didn't expect to walk for more than an hour to reach the place.

The sun on the mountain is good, there are a lot of fruit trees, along the way, there are loquats, plums, apricot trees, but they are one or two, Mu Xiu's goal is bayberry, and there is no too much stop, first go to pick bayberry, when you go down the mountain, and then pick these wild fruits.

Looking at the mountain from the direction of the wasteland, I only saw one bayberry tree, and when I walked to the mountain, I found that there were at least ten bayberry trees of all sizes, between the green leaves, different shades of red were embellished with branches, like rubies, and a gust of wind blew, and the rich fruity flavor was blown by the wind.

"I've never been here, I didn't expect there to be so many bayberry trees." Chen Xuhui had never been here before, and where he went to pick bayberry before, there were only two or three bayberry trees, and they were still very small.

"There's no prey to fight here, and the mountains are so big, you can't go everywhere." Mu Xiu picked a bayberry casually, rinsed it with water, and took a bite, "It's so sweet." ”

Mu Xiaoshu couldn't help pursing her mouth, looking at Mei to quench her thirst, her mouth was already watering.

"Let's spread out and pick bayberry." Mu Xiu commanded.

Everyone chose a tree and began to pick it, the higher the bayberry is, the sweeter it is, because it receives the most time in the light, it is red and black, and it shines in the sun.

There are many people with great strength, and soon, the back baskets brought are full, there are a lot of bayberry trees, even if they are picked so much, the number of bayberry trees on the trees still does not feel reduced, but ......

"Mu Xiu, is there less bayberry on your tree, it doesn't look like there are many left." Mu Xiaoshu was the first to find out, after her question, the rest of the people carefully compared, and sure enough, the tree that Mu Xiu picked was basically empty, but she picked it the same as everyone's weight.

Mu Xiu was speechless for a moment, Mu Xiaoshu's observation power was too strong, Mu Xiu looked at the bayberry was really good, she couldn't help but collect some space, put some space, and put it away, and when she reacted, the tree was almost empty, I thought no one would find out, but I didn't expect Mu Xiaoshu to see it all at once.

"Well, there's not much fruit on this tree." Mu Xiu replied.

"The time for bayberry to ripen will last for many days, so let's do it today, let's pick it again when I have time in these two days." Chen Xuhui said.

The five baskets on the ground were already full, and each basket was still sharp, and it really couldn't fit it.

"Fortunately, I took a lot of cloth bags, and when I go back, I will pick some other fruits and bring them with me." Mu Xiu took out more than a dozen cloth bags from his satchel, all of which could be carried on his body or tied to a basket, and shared them with everyone one by one.

"You're still careful." Mu Shui took the three cloth bags.
