Chapter 269: Have fun in time and never forget your original intention
Before Bai Sanlu left, he mentioned "Osmanthus is blooming", and Gu Yuqiao's heart itched.
Originally, her plan for the past few days was to make coconut oil, after all, she also wanted Zhang Minghuang to bring a little more to Beijing.
But when she thought of the joyful scene of climbing trees and picking flowers with her friends, as well as her favorite coconut milk osmanthus mille-feuille cake and various osmanthus nectar delicacies, she was moved.
"Then you come back early, and we'll pick it together."
That's it, make less money, live a happy life in time, and never forget the original intention, what she originally longed for was this comfortable and leisurely pastoral life.
"Okay!" Bai Sanlu also knew that the girl was in a hurry to work, and they all said that they would come to help, so when they heard that she was going to pick osmanthus flowers, they were also happy.
The reason why Osmanthus Village is called Osmanthus Village is because there are eight old osmanthus trees growing in the village, and in August every year, they will be full of sweet and golden osmanthus flowers, which are beautiful.
The largest old laurel tree is at the head of the village, where women and girls often gather to do needlework and gossip.
There is another tree, when the old Gu family built a house, it was encircled in the backyard, and when the Gu family separated, the osmanthus tree was surrounded by the old Gu family.
Gu Yuqiao looked at the old laurel tree in the yard with pity, and some small petals had already floated down and landed on the ground, which was very gratifying.
This tree was picked by Gu Qianyu in previous years, but now it ...... She went through the people of the old Gu family, and she couldn't think of anyone who would pick the osmanthus flowers, it seems that the osmanthus on this tree this year is destined to be wasted, what a pity!
The osmanthus flowers only bloom in four to five days, and they began to bloom the day before yesterday, so it is best to pick them today and tomorrow.
When it was time, Bai Erzhu brought a group of boys to help make oil, but saw the girl take out a long ladder and a few hemp bags, "Pick the osmanthus and then work!" ”
"Yay!" A few of the younger ones immediately jumped for joy.
They are all fun-loving ages, but in order to make some money for the family and supplement the family, they came to work for Gu Yuqiao like adults.
Gu Yuqiao also suddenly discovered at this time that she was actually employing child labor?!
Fortunately, the oil mill is about to open, and after a few days, there will be no need for their help.
A group of boys said that they would go home to get the sacks, and after a hula, they scattered as birds and beasts, and half an hour later, they all gathered at the entrance of the village.
Gu Yuqiao rubbed her hands, wanting to try her skills in climbing trees in the previous life, but as a result, as soon as she hugged the tree trunk, she saw a group of boys staring at her with wide eyes and wide mouths.
The corners of Bai Erzhu's mouth twitched, "Brother Qiao, have you forgotten that you are a girl?" ”
"What's wrong with the girl?" The girl let go of the trunk and asked angrily.
"If you are seen climbing a tree, you will not be able to get married!"
Gu Yuqiao bit her lip, thought about it for a while, and felt that Ning Shu shouldn't mind her climbing a tree.
"You don't have to worry about that."
As she spoke, the girl climbed to the tree with neat movements, which made a group of boys feel ashamed.
Bai Erzhu smiled helplessly, turned his head and raised his voice to greet: "Come on, everyone over the age of ten will follow Brother Qiao up the tree, and the others will lay sacks under the tree and collect osmanthus flowers!" ”
"Okay!"
A group of children have gained experience in picking osmanthus flowers, and quickly spread sacks on the ground. The older children all climbed the tree with their bare hands, and the ladder prepared by Gu Yuqiao was discarded.
As soon as the sacks were laid, the people on the trees began to shake the branches, and the little golden flowers fell down like a rain of gold.
The children laughed and jumped, reached out to pick it up, and then put it on the tip of their nose to take a breath of aroma, "It's so sweet!" ”
The man on the tree shook the flowers on the branches until they no longer fell, and then reached out and plucked the flowers from the bottom to the top.
The old laurel tree at the entrance of the village is full of children's laughter, and the adults also take a leisurely step under the tree to watch them pick flowers.
However, this laughter and laughter were soon overshadowed by the noisy gongs and drums and joy from Lei Gongjiang.
"Huh, what's the situation?"
Gu Yuqiao stood tall, raised his eyes, and saw the ferry on the other side of the river, bustling and lively.
