He said happily to Chrysanthemum: "Chrysanthemum, come and see, I picked up a nest of eggs with Shallot, there are six." It's rhubarb. I think it's a turtle egg. ”

Rhubarb is the dog they brought.

When Chrysanthemum heard this, she was very happy, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to come over and see.

Due to the hot weather, the water level of the pond has receded a lot, revealing a yellow mud shoal with zigzag crawling marks on it, leading to the water's edge. Rhubarb spun around the neighborhood, stepping on dog paw prints everywhere.

In the mud under a bush of grass lay six white eggs, covered with dirt, a little bigger than quail eggs, and there were rhubarb shaved in a mess.

Today, Huang Mai and Black Skin brought someone with them, and they were picking peaches, and Chrysanthemum called Black Skin to come and see.

When Heipi heard Chrysanthemum call him, he hurried over, picked up an egg, looked at it, and said, "It's a turtle egg." It's only been two days, and my wife looks at this mark, it's still very fresh. He pointed to the crawl marks on the dirt ground and motioned for Chrysanthemum to look.

Chrysanthemum said: "Bury it again." It's useless for us to ask for it, so we might as well let it hatch and grow a baby turtle. ”

Aunt Gao asked reluctantly, "Sister-in-law, won't you hatch?" Why don't you hatch it out and let us take it home to raise? ”

Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "No." Let's bury it, save this egg in vain. ”

Shallot suddenly pointed to the hillside in front of her, happily pulled the sleeve of the chrysanthemum and said to her, "Dad and the second uncle are here." Hey, my brother and cousin are here too! Hey, why are all the little radish heads here? Isn't this looking for trouble? Mother, now we are not restless. ”

Chrysanthemum looked up, only to see from the path of the oak forest, down a crowd, it turned out to be Huaizi with Zhang Yang, chestnut, gourd, cucumber, Qingshan, soybean and other people, followed by a few boys.

Suddenly, they greeted happily and complained.

Chrysanthemum asked Chestnut strangely, "You don't go to school anymore?" ”

Chestnut hurriedly said: "The master has a guest at his house, let us read the book by ourselves." I took a leave of absence from my cousin. Seeing Chrysanthemum's face sank, he hurriedly confessed. Mother, we'll make up for the missing supplies in the evening. I'm the one who likes to pick peaches the most. If you don't take a leave of absence today, and you all pick them up, won't you have to pick them up? ”

Chrysanthemum said to him warningly, "Okay." Make up for the missing homework in the evening, or you will get up early tomorrow......"

"No, I'll make it up tonight." Chestnut hurriedly said, he inherited the temper of the chrysanthemum, he is most afraid of getting up early, and he likes to lie in bed.

Zhang Yang got out of the encirclement of his wife and concubines, and said to Chrysanthemum with a smile: "Sister Chrysanthemum." Don't worry too much about the little baby. When I was studying, didn't you always persuade me to be more active, saying that I had become a nerd when I read books all day long, why did it take my turn to be a mother, so I wanted my son to become a dragon? ”

Gourd and Chestnut perked up when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" My mother let you play more? ”

Chrysanthemum patted the back of the chestnut on the back of the head and said with a smile: "Listen to your second uncle, can it be compared?" He just went to study back then. Holding a book all day long, like a little old man, it's not cute at all. It's not as clever as your Uncle Stone who can play. How can it be like you, climbing trees and going down the river all day long, and there are fewer activities? I want to advise you to be more active, then you can study, isn't it more comfortable to go up the mountain and down the field directly with your father? ”

Chestnut listened to Chrysanthemum's words, looked at Zhang Yang and smiled: "Like a little old man?" What's that like? ”

Zhang Yang didn't expect Chrysanthemum to comment on him like this, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Cao and the others rarely heard about what happened to their husbands when they were young, and they all thought it was very interesting, pursed their lips and smiled, and Aunt Huang asked Chrysanthemum vigorously. How hard did the old man study when he was a child.

Zhang Yang hurriedly pulled the chestnut and said, "Let's go, go pick peaches." Uncle will also climb the tree again today to see if this craft has been lost. ”

The forest was suddenly lively, the babies shouted, the women shouted, and the men shouted endlessly. The barking of dogs echoed through the mountains. There were people who climbed trees to pick peaches, and there were people who used long bamboo poles to tie sickles and hooked them down, and the women picked them up under the trees, and when the basket was full, some children carried it and put it aside.

Chrysanthemum looked at the little babies such as gourds and chestnuts like monkeys, hanging on the treetops and swaying, and felt nervous, even if they knew that the country boys were solid, but seeing them climb so high, the heart was still a little unbearable.

Huaizi commanded back and forth a few times, and when the arrangement was made, he came to her, and saw that she was staring at the soybeans on a peach tree, and her eyes were worried, so he comforted her and said: "The little baby is flexible, it doesn't matter." That's how we all came over when we were young. Besides, there was grass under the trees, and there were so many people watching. ”

Chrysanthemum swallowed her saliva, grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Huaizi, I can't stand it anymore, let them come down." That soybean is the most naughty, and it's not serious, and you won't have time to catch him when you turn around and fall. ”

Huaizi shook her hand and signaled her not to be nervous: "If you don't let them go up, it's not noisy." You don't know, this tree climbing has to be a little baby, adults are heavy, easy to crush the branches and fall down; Even if the little babies crush the branches, because they are light, they will definitely hang down the branches together, and they will not break them. Look at the soybeans, the goblins are very good, and they hold that branch tightly—he's afraid of death! ”

Chrysanthemum took a closer look, and sure enough, Soybean's left arm hugged the branch, crossed his legs around the trunk, and only picked peaches with his right hand.

The reason why Chrysanthemum was scared when he saw him was because he had climbed too high.

This wild peach tree is different from the domestic peach tree, and it grows very tall. When the tree was first planted, manure and oil cake were buried deep under the roots of the tree, and it was not until the third year that the roots borrowed their fertility and rushed upward. Even if the middle trunk has been cut off, the branched branches grow long and tall, so it is very troublesome to pick peaches, and you can only use a bamboo pole tied to a sickle to hook down.

Soybeans are really like a monkey, picking them, throwing them down, and constantly climbing up. The treetop he went up couldn't even go up with chestnuts and gourds—the branches couldn't bear it!

Chrysanthemum still couldn't help it, stomped her foot and said to Huaizi: "Tell him to come down, I can't stand it if I don't come down again!" ”

Huaizi hurriedly said loudly: "Soybean, you come down first." Don't climb up. The peaches on the top of the tree were hooked with a sickle. ”

Huang Dou stopped, looked down, and said reluctantly, "I'll pick these two and come down again." ”

Huaizi hurriedly threatened him: "Later, we will go down to the pond to bathe and catch fish, if you don't come down, I won't take you there." My aunt is angry, turn around and come down and see if she doesn't beat you. ”

Chrysanthemum also shouted: "Soybean come down quickly, my aunt knows that you have a future." Chestnuts, gourds, don't climb that high. If you can't pick the top one, even if you can't pick it up, it's the same for Uncle Blackskin to hook them with a sickle. ”

Several people agreed, and Chrysanthemum was relieved, and Fang set her sights on other places.

I saw Zhang Yang is the most ridiculous, although he has not lost his skill in climbing trees, but such a big person, of course, can not climb so high like soybeans, he can only hold a thick branch, look at the hairy peaches on the treetops, stretch out his arms, and he can pick the ones that are close to him, and he dare not come forward to pick them far.

Even so, the wives and concubines under the tree were all very nervous, and Cao couldn't help but shout: "Master, let's come down!" She thought that her husband was probably the only Tanhualang who climbed trees in Yasukuni.

Aunt Huang's crisp voice: "Be careful, master!" ”

Aunt Gao's coquettish voice: "Master come down first, let me go up." "It's a little guy with Zhang Yang.

He listened to his aunt's words, and his face fell: "The little one can't climb a tree!" ”

Aunt Gao glared at him and said angrily, "It's useless!" Look, these children can climb trees, and the old man can also climb trees, but you can't climb, why don't you hurry up and learn something? ”

Aunt Wu and Aunt Liu also looked at him with unkind faces, as if they blamed him for not being able to help the master. I don't know what to do with a sad face.

Chrysanthemum happened to look at it and laughed when she heard it.

Zhang Huai was also amused when he heard it, and he was afraid that his younger brother would fall down, but the way men care about people is always not the same as women, he smiled and raised his head to his younger brother and shouted: "Yang Zi, you have played, you better come down." Turning around and crushing my peach branches, I'm going to die of distress. ”

Aunt Huang didn't follow it when she heard it, and she didn't care if Zhang Huai was an uncle, so she gave him a blank look and said, "Oops! How can the lord say that? The old man is also your brother, if he breaks the branch, he will fall down, how can he take care of the peach tree? ”

Aunt Gao also complained to Zhang Huai: "Master, our master is the pillar of the Zhang family, can he compare to a peach tree?" ”

Although the other girls heard him joking, they still showed a look of disapproval, and even Cao Shi glanced at the uncle worriedly, as if to blame him for not making such a joke at this time, so that Huaizi's face was full of black lines, and he lowered his head and muttered to Chrysanthemum: "If this is a quarrel, we can't quarrel with Yang Zili!" ”

Chrysanthemum smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, our son and daughter will grow up first." ”

Huaizi burst out laughing, and didn't care about her brother's woman, pulling the chrysanthemum to the side to pick up peaches.

When Zhang Yang came down from the tree, he took out a few peaches from his pocket, and said with a long sigh: "No, these peaches grow on the treetops and can't reach them." Or their little baby is more flexible, and the master can't do it. ”

Aunt Huang hurriedly snatched the peach, and comforted him: "Master can't be presumptuous. Judging from the concubine's body, the master's skills are still good. It's just that the branches are too thin to bear the master. ”

Cao Shi took out a handkerchief, helped him wipe the sweat off his head, and said reproachfully: "If the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, the lord still shouldn't climb the tree, the concubine will be scared." ”

Zhang Yang nodded with a smile, and was about to speak, when he saw Aunt Huang holding a peach and not putting it in the basket, he asked strangely, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Aunt Huang nodded happily and said, "The master picked it!" ”

This time, several aunts were not polite, and they all went up to grab peaches from Aunt Huang, and said, "Sister Huang, how can you eat so much by yourself?" Let's divide one for each of us. Sister, this is for you. ”

Cao Shi took the hairy peach handed over by Aunt Wu, Ying Ying's eyes turned on Zhang Yang's face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister!" ”

Zhang Yang saw that several of them happily took out their handkerchiefs, wiped the peach, and gnawed it, as if this was such a rare kiwifruit, and he was a little stunned for a while!
