Chapter 16 Huaguo Mountain
Among the fruits, I prefer to eat peaches, from early spring peaches and nectarines to large peaches and peaches in summer to very crisp autumn peaches, golden peaches, yellow peaches, etc., the list goes on.
Many years ago, I went to visit Huaguo Mountain, a famous scenic spot in Jiangsu, in early autumn, the peaches in the mountain are bigger than other places, and they are particularly sweet.
I was on the way up the mountain in Eighteen Pan, and I saw an old man selling in that area, and he picked five or six red peaches, and they were the largest. I thought, isn't this also saving drinking water, it's actually the same thing, hehe.
At noon, the weather is quite hot, and there are not too many tourists. I followed the guide around the mountain, while eating peaches, although the sun was a little sunny, but the mood was excellent, leisurely, very comfortable.
Just as I was squatting on a big rock and eating hard, a small group of monkeys came out of nowhere, and one of them snatched the peaches from my hand and spilled them on the branch next to me. The rest of the monkeys divide up the peaches in my plastic pocket, run to a short distance and eat them and stare at you without blinking, as if to say, "What are you looking at, why are you eating your peaches?" Do you have what it takes to chase me? ”
"Oh, my damn it! What can I do with you? I can't catch up with you, don't you know if I give it to you, at this time, bluff me enough. Are you occupying the mountains as kings, sitting on the ground to dominate, and organizing groups to rob? "I hit them back with my eyes.
Hahaha, hahaha, the guide next to him bent over with a smile and said, "You eat their favorite food in front of them, it's weird if you don't rob you." ”
"How annoying do you say they are, a big peach so delicious eats a few bites and skims it out, and then grabs the peaches in other people's hands, eats two bites and skims it aside, and then grabs it in other people's hands, this, this, this, this is too bullying." I was so angry that I stuttered when I spoke.
"These monkey grandchildren are like this, of course they are robbing here, you don't look at whose mountain this is, who dares to provoke them, it's polite to rob you of a few peaches, you didn't pull the bag you were carrying, it's good to dig it out and find some food." The tour guide said while petting the monkey.
"Oh! My God, are you talking about the Monkey King, he dares to go to the sky to steal the peach of the Queen Mother, and his monkey grandchildren snatch a few peaches from ordinary people, which is really polite. I said.
This little overture did not disturb my good mood, but added to the fun of my mountain tour, but for a while I can't forget the little eyes of the monkey grandson teasing you.
Continue to follow your guide and climb up steep stone steps to the top of the mountain, flanked by rocks covered with clusters of bushes and occasionally dotted with a few dwarf trees. How do you think that the bushes and the bushes are growing in unison, as if someone had ordered them to grow like this, and that they should be there.
When a gust of wind blew, as if the king had sent them to seek the mountains, the bushes swayed slightly, and in a moment the bushes and the bushes came to life, and they walked down the hillside and over the stream in a neat procession along the winding path. Before dawn, climb the steep stone steps to the top of the mountain. By the time the first rays of sunlight hit the top of the mountain, they had already retreated to their positions. For hundreds of years, it has silently guarded this mountain.
At this time, I had climbed to the top of the mountain with the guide, and to be honest, I really climbed to the top of the mountain with my hands and feet like a monkey, and I don't know how ugly it was. But the beautiful scenery in front of me suddenly carried me away, and I looked around with great interest. It is a beautiful scenery of early autumn in the south, with distant peaks, mountains and mountains, old trees nearby, and antlers. The green mountains are occasionally dotted with red and yellow spots, and weeds grow in a staggered manner until they spread to the side of the old trees.
Flocks of unnamed birds loom and make noise in the old trees, and among them, there is a kind of bird that calls like a yellow oriole, and the sound is extremely good, as if it is playing a beautiful music. I took a deep breath and let out a long whistle to sing along with the oriole, but my voice was too small to disappoint the oriole.
I looked down and picked up a feather that had fallen on the weeds in the wind, pure white, as thin as a cicada's wings, and I thought to myself, I don't know what kind of bird's feather it was, but it was so cute. Suddenly, a large bird as white as snow flew by not far in front of the weeds, and glared back at me, as if to see its feathers in my hand.
On a vast steep slope 100 meters away, there is a peach orchard, the fiery red fruit is shining red, you can see it from afar, it must be a paradise for monkey grandchildren. Oh! It's an extremely stunning view.
At this moment, standing in front of the fruit stall in the small market after work, I watched all kinds of peaches on the board, and I couldn't help but think of the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain. They probably still snatch the peaches in the hands of tourists every day unscrupulously to eat, but they just don't have a long nature, they skim on a bite, they really can't grab it, and pick up the old ones and then eat, this is not considered to be eating the bowl and looking at the pot, always feel that other people's is better than their own, lose the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds?
I'm stupid enough to figure out how shrewd-than-human these guys seem to be, but I can tell from their little eyes that they're very vindictive. That little look never seemed to leave me, and at one moment, it flashed in Lan's eyes.
But I think I really like these monkey grandchildren, and I don't bother them at all. I live in the north, so far away from them, if I were close, I would have to run around every three days to catch a glimpse of them.
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it was ten years ago, but it seems to have happened yesterday. Look at me, it's too far away, the days are still boring, and the work is still going on without change.
At the morning meeting in the past few days, the atmosphere was more and more silent day by day, and no one said anything. The fan was turned on to its maximum power and buzzed in the room, and everyone wanted to move the stool to the fan piece, probably because it was too hot. The air conditioner in the building is under maintenance and will not be used for the time being. Boss Lan has not had a good weather these two days, and there is not a single fold on his serious little face. At the morning meeting, the sound was low at first, and then the louder the talking, the roof was about to shake open. The retail industry is already very cumbersome, and there is no business to do in the off-season, of course, who is willing to move if you don't work in this season, and you can't expect a big business to come suddenly.
The boss is in a hurry, and the employees are also in a hurry. Alas! How can there be a boss who doesn't lose his temper, and how can there be an employee who hasn't scolded?
Two weeks later, it was raining heavily outside and the store was stuffy, and everyone was busy with their heads down. When my sister came over from work yesterday, she stayed for a while and left, leaving her umbrella here. At this time, I helped her collect it and sent her WeChat.
"Hahaha, come over to meet, this is my hair child, Liu Lihong. Your future manager, I will rent the store to her half-time, and she will be responsible for your salary in the future, hahaha. Boss Lan laughed and said.
Things were a bit unexpected but also expected, about a month ago, I heard her say that she intended to sublet. In the past two years, I have long been accustomed to her parachuting in a new person or manager anytime and anywhere.
You sang and I appeared, and in the end she had the final say. Sandwiched between the newcomer and the old, I always had a period of being commanded straight and confused. But most of them don't last long, and the newcomers just go back and forth. If you say that you will break up unhappily, it is not exactly, but if you cooperate well, how can you pat your legs and leave? But if you think about it, doing business in partnership may be the same thing, and you can't take everything too seriously.
But today, the new partner seems to be a little heavier, a bare-chested doll, and the relationship for more than 40 years is not as deep as the sea.
At this point, I looked up and smiled, nodding to her. She is a few centimeters shorter than Boss Lan, neither fat nor thin, and her face is red before she says anything, and she greets everyone.
I saw a pair of big watery eyes embedded in her round face, the traces of time left a few fine lines at the end of the eyes, a pair of beautiful dimples inlaid on the smiling face, black hair shiny, tied into a ball head tied behind her head, and a royal blue T-shirt added a touch of coolness to this hot summer day.
At night, a mosquito comes into the room, and it buzzes around your ears at this time, and you can't sleep. It took a lot of effort to get rid of the mosquitoes.
The night was dark, but there was no sleep.
The silver light of the moonlight shone on the windowsill with a pot of pomegranates in full bloom, like fire and tea. The pomegranate flowers are as red as a dancing flame in the night.
"The green leaves cut the smoke and the green, and the red English moves the sun." When the footsteps of time are walking at the end of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the stamen trees are like fire, and the pomegranate flowers of a tree are dazzling.
I like the red flowers of pomegranates, bright and lovely, and I prefer the sweet and sour taste of pomegranates, with a pleasant fragrance. Pomegranate is an auspicious fruit, ten thousand sons with the same bud, golden room and jade separation. When I was a child, I often saw on the New Year's pictures that when some families got married, there were always a few pots of pomegranate trees full of fruit on the wedding hall, which meant that every year, from generation to generation, children and grandchildren, and endlessly.
Clear night, quiet sky. It was as if the fiery red flowers had changed their color in the moonlight, and instead of the fire-like ferventness of the day, there was a wisp of gentle shyness. The moonlight gives the pomegranate flowers a new layer of charm, which is so lovely and charming.
When I woke up in the morning, I sat in bed for a while, I often went to bed late and woke up early, especially if I had something to do, and I wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Belch! That's right! I have to go to work early today, isn't there a new boss, Boss Lan's hair is small. At this time, you have to cheer up, at least don't let her think that you are sluggish at work, and if you accidentally get fired, you will be bad. A simple bite of breakfast, a simple grooming neat. Feed the big chubby son and send him to school. Fortunately, I came to the company twenty minutes early, and when I saw that the new boss had arrived, she smiled and nodded to me.
"Oh! You came so early, my dear lady, you are very diligent! I greeted her, picked up the cloth in the corner of the wall, and wanted to go to the water room to take a good place. In fact, this is the work I have to do every morning, and no one arranges it, so I have already developed a habit.
"I'll come." Before I could react, she snatched the cloth and went straight to the water room. The swish, whoosh, whoosh action is really lightning fast, and it seems that this sister is not a problem to work.
