Chapter 34: Overnight in the Fruit Grove
Bo Zhong still refused.
In the end, it was Yuan Ning who took out the majesty of being the eldest sister and drove him away.
Bo Zhong returned home with a bag of tears in his eyes, and told his younger brothers and sisters about it, Zhong Ling was silent for a long time before he said, "Big brother, it's not realistic for me to say that our family will go to the fruit forest for the night. But it doesn't work if there is no one at home...... Otherwise, you send Shu Yu over and let him accompany the eldest sister. ”
Bo Zhong's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea!" ”
Zhong Ling immediately packed up his things, took the thickest quilt in the house, packed it and brought it to them, "It doesn't matter if it's dirty, I'll wash it when I come back." ”
There is also a straw mat.
In addition to the bedding, I prepared some food.
Bo Zhong took Shu Yu and carried these things to the fruit forest.
He is still a little younger, and it is still a little difficult to carry these things, but when he thinks that he can solve problems for his eldest sister, he is in a very good mood, and he doesn't feel too tired.
Yuan Ning never expected that her younger brothers and sisters would come up with such an idea, and while crying and laughing, she still felt warm in her heart, so she didn't refuse their kindness and let Shu Yu stay.
Bo Zhong helped prepare for the night, then got up and left, and when he left, Yuan Ning also asked him to pick a few yellow and clear pears and take them back.
How can you not even eat what you grow in your own field?
Yuan Ning also specially told him: "You can also get a little juice out for Ji Xiu to taste when you go back, but don't give her more to eat, and don't eat it at night." ”
Bo Zhong nodded in agreement, and went home with the fruit in his coat.
It was the first time for Shu Yu to sleep in the open air, he was very excited, pestered Yuan Ning to tell him several stories, and said triumphantly: "The eldest brother and the second sister must be very envious of me!" Which of them can listen to the eldest sister tell so many stories in one breath? ”
Yuan Ning rubbed his little head and asked him, "Are you hungry?" ”
Shu Yu touched his stomach, he was younger, he was hungry fast, his stomach was really a little empty at this time, and he said embarrassedly: "It's a little." ”
Yuan Ning took out some wild vegetables he found earlier, picked a few fruits and mixed them with the multigrain cakes prepared by Zhong Ling, roasted them on the fire, and gave them to Shu Yu to eat, "Pad your stomach." ”
There were dry food, vegetables and fruits, and Shu Yu was very satisfied.
After eating, I burped and barely rinsed my mouth, and I was sleepy.
The cover had been sorted out a long time ago, and Yuan Ning pulled him to sleep, and the little one arched in her arms, and soon fell asleep.
On the contrary, Yuan Ning couldn't sleep for a while, lying on his back, pillowing one of his arms, looking at the deep night sky through the dense branches and leaves.
The unpolluted sky is a pure navy blue, and the stars twinkle in the middle of it, and there is an indescribable sense of transparency.
When the wind rose, the leaves rattled, and many of the leaves had turned yellow, and now they fell down with the wind, and a few of them happened to fall into the fire, causing the flames to jump.
Yuan Ning grabbed two thick branches and threw them into the fire, closed his eyes, tightened the quilt, and fell asleep after a while.
The next morning, Yuan Ning woke up early, saw that the fire was about to be extinguished, so he burned it again and covered Shu Yu with a quilt so that he would not catch a cold.
I got up and moved my limbs, and although I slept in the field all night, there was nothing uncomfortable.
After the event, I started to prepare breakfast, just like last night, just roasting the food.
But it was just such a heating process, and the aroma of the food emanated, waking Shu Yu up from his sleep.
The little guy stretched, and before he opened his eyes, he said vaguely: "Eldest sister, I'm hungry......"
"Okay," Yuan Ning smiled, "you get up slowly, roast the fire for a while, and you can eat it immediately." ”
Because I was sleeping outside, I didn't take off my clothes when I slept, and I felt quite cold when I got up.
Shu Yu was obedient, sat down obediently in front of the fire, roasted for a while, felt that his body was warm, and turned around to put away the bed.
Yuan Ning had already packed up all the food, and the sister and brother had a breakfast by roasting on the fire.
Because the water in the bamboo tube was buried next to the fire, it was also warm, and the two of them ate and drank enough, extinguished the fire, checked it, and there was no fire hazard, Yuan Ning began to teach Shu Yu to count.
It was only twenty-five that Bo Zhong came over, still carrying a clay pot in his hand, and in the jar was the rice soup that Zhong Ling had cooked in the morning.
Although Yuan Ning was already full, his brother and sister's kindness could not be wasted, so he and Shuyu each drank half a bowl, and carried the rest.
Zhang Ergou also followed, and when he saw the five baskets full of fruits, he was very surprised: "Picked so much?" ”
"Uncle Ergou," Yuan Ning showed weakness at the right time, "That's why I'm bothering you to come over early in the morning to help......
Zhang Ergou hurriedly said: "What is this, it is all from the villagers." ”
As he spoke, he helped carry the basket to the ox cart.
However, five baskets of fruit were carried up, and there was basically no empty space on the ox cart.
Yuan Ning discussed with him: "Uncle, let's do it, don't pull others this time, just the two of us." How much money do you usually make by running to the county, and I'll give you an extra five yuan, how about it? ”
Zhang Ergou sympathized with their sister and brother, but he was also a person who wanted to live, and he still had to make money after all, so he nodded and agreed, but still based on compassion, he said: "If you don't make money selling fruits, you don't need to add that five cents to me." ”
"That's not possible," Yuan Ning looked serious, "why can't you let Uncle lose?" Uncle also helped us move things. ”
Zhang Ergou sighed, these two children are really sensible!
The three of them got into the ox cart and went straight to the county seat, because they didn't have to carry others on the road, so they were much faster.
When they arrived in the county seat, Zhang Ergou sent them to the place where they had set up stalls before, helped move the baskets down, and went to do their own things.
The fruits were screened as soon as they were picked, so what Yuan Ning had to do was to sort the two fruits and put them in the basket and set up a stall.
When they arrived in the county seat, it was not yet the end of the day, and almost no one set up stalls in the area came.
When they saw their siblings coming again, they greeted them kindly, and discussed with them that they must leave a little for them to sell the remaining fruits.
Yuan Ning smiled and nodded in agreement, and asked Bo Zhong to send a pear from stall to stall, "Our pears are big and thin-skinned, quenching thirst and moisturizing, thank you uncles and uncles for your care, this is for everyone to try." ”
Who wouldn't be happy to meet such a good little girl? Everyone can't help but take a little more care of her.
