Chapter 520 Turtle

Shallot jumped over and said to Cao Shi and the others: "Auntie, don't eat too many wild peaches,.. Also, the hair on this head must be washed, otherwise it will stab the throat. ”

When Zhang Yang heard this, he looked at the peach pits on the hands of several women and seemed to smile, which made them all blush, and only Cao was still wiping the hair on the skin of the peach.

Aunt Liu complained embarrassedly: "Master......"

Seeing that she was not as reserved as usual, Zhang Yang couldn't help but soften her heart, and said softly: "I just want to say that you have all eaten." But it doesn't matter if you only eat one. Aren't we shallots here! ”

Aunt Gao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The concubine is fine, don't worry about the eldest niece." ”

Everyone laughed, and Shallot "snorted" and said, "Auntie looks down on people!" ”

Aunt Gao knew that Zhang Yang liked this niece the most, so she hurriedly pulled her to persuade her.

Cao Shi pinched the green and white peach, the tip of the peach was already red, took a bite and ate it, and said, "The taste is sweet and sour, very good!" It's just smaller, about the same size as Huang Xing'er. ”

Zhang Yang smiled and said to her: "This wild peach is naturally not that big, we all call it a hairy peach." If it is ripe, you can break two petals with a gentle twist of your hand, and take out the peach pit directly, and the taste will be sweeter. ”

Shallot said: "It's not good to make dried peaches that are too ripe, and they are easy to rot." ”

Aunt Liu said: "This peach is definitely more flavorful and appetizing when made of dried peaches." "They're all helping to make dried peaches these days, so they're very experienced.

After laughing for a while, they all went to help pick up peaches.

After the chestnut and others got off the tree, the chrysanthemums did not allow them to go up again, so the adults hooked the peaches down with a sickle, and more than a dozen bamboo poles went into battle together, and the little babies and women picked them up under the tree.

.. Huaizi instructed Heipi: "Ask five people to pick it up at home." The rest of the people continued to hook and finished in one go. ”

Heipi agreed, and hurriedly ran to arrange for someone to pick peaches at home.

It's a pleasure to work like this. Looking at the neatly arranged bamboo baskets, which were full of small peaches with leaves, green and white, reddish peaches, Chrysanthemum and He and the others didn't feel anything. The Cao daughters were happily unable to control themselves. Look here, touch there. I asked how much a pound of dried peaches could sell for chrysanthemums, and I was worried that if I didn't cook them at night, I would be bad, and I eagerly said that I would get up early tomorrow. Good for dried peaches. Take advantage of the sun to get sun.

Chrysanthemum told them one by one. She understood that they did not ask this because they were hungry for how much the dried peaches could sell, but because they felt a kind of joy of harvest, and she liked it the most, otherwise she would always like to do those things herself.

A layer of hairy peaches fell on the grass. Some of them were pecked by birds, and some of them were lost by insects. Mixed with leaves and weeds, it is soft to step on. attracted some small animals to come and eat, even if they saw many people in the forest, they still refused to leave. Among them, there is a pheasant, which is actually a domestic chicken, but it is a chrysanthemum that people raise, and it is similar to a pheasant.

Chrysanthemum came to Huaizi's side and asked, "Brother Huaizi, may the honeycomb be collected?" ”

Hearing this, Huaizi looked at the oak forest on the side of the mountain, where there were several honeycombs, and said with a smile: "I will harvest the peaches when they are finished." I'm afraid there is no honey at this time, and there are not many wildflowers on the mountain, and they are all blooming. ”

Because of this peach blossom, bees like to build nests here, and every April, they can harvest more than ten catties of wild honey. But the method is really rough, and it always takes people to the nest. But these bees are very diligent, and the nest is brought up and rebuilt, which makes people unbearable.

Chrysanthemum didn't know how to keep bees, and she didn't know how to get honey, so she had to say sorry to the bees in her heart.

When everything was done, everyone was sweating, and Yang Zi said impatiently to Huaizi: "Brother, I'll go to the pond to cool off first." ”

The little babies such as chestnuts and gourds were overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'll go with you." ”

Huaizi waved his hand and said, "If you go together, you can still take care of each other." Chestnut, you guys are with us, don't run far. Also, tie your clothes tightly and don't strip them naked. "There are so many women here, and you can't take off your clothes.

Chrysanthemum saw the excitement of the soybeans jumping three feet high, and said to Huaizi worriedly: "You have to pay attention to a few of them." Although they can paddle, this pond is very deep, don't go down and have leg cramps. Also, are there any crocodiles here? ”

Huaizi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." I haven't heard anyone say we have that thing in this place. You read it from books, right? Don't think about it! I told both the black skin and the yellow wheat to go down and watch them, and it would be all right. Our chestnuts and gourds are very good at paddling, no worse than loaches. ”

Chestnut asked strangely: "Mother, don't you usually let your father take us to learn to paddle, why are you so verbose today, and you are not allowed to climb trees or go into the water?" ”

Chrysanthemum couldn't bear to say: "Usually my mother stays at home, you don't see anything, out of sight is clean, so naturally you don't worry." Seeing you climb trees and go into the water with my own eyes today, I am not afraid in my heart! ”

Although those who drown know how to water, but more people who drown don't know how to water, so when a few babies were very young, they were led by Huaizi and Aoki to learn to swim in the river, even shallots are no exception, and now red peppers will also be.

However, being a mother is concerned about her children, always imagining all kinds of possible dangers in advance, and worrying about them.

Hulu hurriedly pulled the chestnut, and said to Chrysanthemum with a smile: "Auntie, we follow Uncle and Uncle Heipi, even if we have leg cramps, we have time to call someone, and it will be fine." ”

Chrysanthemum also felt that her fuss was a little ridiculous, so she had to say to them: "Go ahead!" Be careful. ”

Huaizi threw her a comforting look and said, "What are you afraid of, there is me!" ”

Qingshan said happily: "Sister, we also brought nets to net some fish and shrimp." Why don't you come and watch and play? With that, he ran away.

Chrysanthemum nodded, beckoning Cao and the others to come over and see the excitement.

Cao's eyes widened and said, "This ...... How does this work? ”

Chrysanthemum hurriedly said: "They don't take off their clothes." She said in her heart, that is, we have seen only one thing left, not to mention that it is still tightly dressed.

Cao shook her head and refused to go, although she was very curious, she was still not used to being so presumptuous.

She didn't go, and several aunts didn't dare to go, seeing Aunt Huang's anxious look, she chuckled and said, "If you want to go, go ahead." I won't blame you if I think about it. ”

He smiled: "Go ahead." It doesn't matter, we catch fish in winter and watch the excitement on the side. ”

In the end, the two girls were left to accompany the Cao family, and the rest of the people went to see the excitement.

Chrysanthemum saw the green mountain pond, several heads floated like gourds, the sunset hung obliquely on the top of the mountain, about to fall to the back of the mountain, the golden light shone on the water surface, the sparkling water flickered. There was a lot of laughter in the water and on the shore, and I was very envious and wanted to go down for a swim. Just think about it, in front of so many people, she still didn't dare, although she also followed Huaizi to swim secretly at night.

The little baby paddling is the best, not to mention a few big ones such as chestnuts and gourds, which are really like swimming fish, running around; The most interesting thing is soybeans, he is small, and he doesn't care so much, he wears a pair of small pants and goes down, floating on the water, splashing with his limbs, and laughing endlessly.

After Huaizi rowed around, he felt that his body was cool, so he pulled the long net away with the black skin and dragged it to the shore.

As soon as the net came up, the fresh fish and shrimp jumped around, and everyone gathered around to pick them up, and then threw them into the bucket.

The maids and boys found out that they were unemployed, and the aunts didn't let them interfere at all, catching fish and shrimp, and having a lot of fun. They also want to get in, where can they get in.

After pulling the two nets, Huaizi felt a little heavy in the third net, and said with a smile while calling Yang Zi to come over to help: "I'm afraid there's a big guy!" ”

The people on the shore were all excited when they heard this, staring at the net that was dragged up, and the people in the water also swam over to see the excitement.

There was a big guy in the net, but it wasn't a fish, but a big turtle.

"How did it get here?" Huaizi looked at the grinding turtle and cried out.

He shouted again: "Chrysanthemum, come and see, the turtle you released that year has come here." ”

Chrysanthemum squeezed over, looked at the big turtle, the black back shell pattern was simple, and asked with some uncertainty: "How do you know that it is that one?" The turtle caught in Xiaoyuantang that year was covered in mud, and I didn't see it clearly, so I looked at its eyes. Not all turtles look the same, they have only been seen once, how can they tell who is who. ”

Huaizi said: "Is it easy to see you as such a big turtle?" I don't know how many hundred miles I have lived! I think that's it. Look, it's watching you! ”

Chrysanthemum and the tortoise's mung bean eyes—no, more than mung beans—looked at each other for a moment, smiled, and reached out to touch its head—

Hey! Why don't you shrink back?

Even so, she still felt that Huaizi's words were a little ridiculous. However, she will not bring this turtle back, the long-lived creature is always awe-inspiring, that is, Grandma Liu, almost ninety, that in the Zhang family is also like an ancestor, what is delicious is always sent first, so let Zhang Huai let it go.

Soybean opened his arms, jumped up and hugged the turtle and shouted, "Don't let go!" Auntie, I want this turtle. ”

He lay on the turtle's back, and his tanned little arms and legs fought with the turtle's paws, causing everyone to laugh.

Chestnut and other little babies also looked at the chrysanthemum pleadingly, and even a few aunts advocated staying.

Huaizi and Chrysanthemum glanced at each other, lowered their faces and said, "Is this fun?" Older than your grandfather, wife, and grandfather! He turned his head and said to Aunt Huang and the others, "The turtle is a spiritual creature, and your lord is an official outside, so it's better to be taboo." ”

Aunt Liu woke up like a dream when she heard this, and hurriedly nodded: "Let it go!" Don't hurt it. ”

The others didn't dare to squeak, and Huaizi told a few small ones about the chrysanthemum releasing the turtle back then, and coaxed them to let them agree to release the tortoise.

Zhang Yang stepped forward and squatted down, touched the back of the turtle and asked Chrysanthemum curiously: "This is the old turtle that Sister Chrysanthemum put back then?" ”
