The sudden sound startled Cherry.

Clear and powerful, with a faint smile in his voice, it is obviously Zhou Mingyuan's.

Cherry subconsciously turned his head violently, it was really Zhou Mingyuan, he was looking at himself with a smile full of doting, and repeated: "What are you looking at?" I've never seen you smile so sweetly. but it makes me jealous. As he spoke, he took a stride towards the cherry.

"It's nothing, it's just ......" Cherry's eyes widened, and she glanced up the slope again, and saw that there was indeed no figure of Zhou Muze, so she was a little relieved, and lied indiscriminately: "It's just a few chickadees, playing and playing in the treetops, and it makes people happy to watch." You...... How did you get here? ”

"?" Zhou Mingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "I guess you came here, just try it, who would have thought that I would really find it." Tsk, in front of your sisters, I have never seen you smile like this, but you can be so happy in front of a few? In this way, I have to take a good look, and if I like it, I will catch it and see it every day. How about seeing your smile like that? ”

"Don't, how can this be? People live well, they are free, they catch insects and play with them, how can they say that they will catch them? How can you ruin a bird's life just for the sake of your own momentary pleasure? Cherry deliberately said, "Don't base your happiness on other people's pain." The happiness that comes from that is not true happiness. ”

"I'm just talking casually, in exchange for a lot of your words." Zhou Mingyuan walked to the cherry and stood still, looked up at the slope: "What, where is it?" ”

"Fly away early. I heard that you want to arrest someone, but are you still waiting here? Cherry tightened the basket on her shoulders, put one hand on the hem of her clothes, and the other on the handle of the basket on her shoulder, and began to walk in the direction of home: "Let's go, it's getting dark." ”

Zhou Mingyuan was silent, obediently followed, and reached out to touch her bamboo basket: "What is this?" Look at the top of the sink, how can your little body bear it? ”

"It's a wild fruit, picked from the mountains." Cherry walked briskly.

"So heavy?" Zhou Mingyuan held the bottom of the basket and gave it a try, and tightened his eyebrows: "No, it's too heavy!" What do you want so many wild fruits for? Pick it off and throw it away, and when you get back what you want to eat, I'll ask someone to go to town and buy it." I don't know if this wild fruit is poisonous or not, and I can't carry it on my back like this. ”

"I spent an afternoon picking them up, and I'm going to have to throw them away just by saying a word from you? Just because it's too heavy, you throw away the good things? Zhou Dashizi, this is my home, it is a small place, it is a poor mountain village, this basket of things is taken out, I don't know how many people want to rush to get it, you actually told me to throw it away? Cherry was a little angry, Zhou Mingyuan lowered his posture again, and some of his pampered practices in the palace still couldn't be changed, and he wouldn't change them.

"I just care about you" Zhou Mingyuan frowned slightly displeased: "Why did you roar so loudly?" It's because I've been too nice to you these days, and I've been too easy-going, haven't I? I think I'm really doing some useless work here, it's really better to tie it up and go back to worry about it as my big boss said. ”

"You ......" Cherry's eyes widened, and she regretted it a little: "You promised me, you won't tie it up." His Royal Highness, the dignified prince, the person who may be the prince in the future, the person who rules one side, how can he speak out and do the opposite? If you really tie me up, I won't take you back. ”

"I'm just angry and say, you don't have to worry." Zhou Mingyuan exhaled sullenly, was silent for a while, looked up at the cherry a few more times, and reached out to pick the basket on her body: "That's it, you are so distressed, just don't throw it away." You can't carry such a heavy thing, so I'll take it. ”

That's just right. Cherry said secretly in her heart, obediently took off the bamboo basket on her body and transferred it to Zhou Mingyuan.

Although Zhou Mingyuan lived in the Yue family as a rich son and tried his best to be simple in his clothes, he also wore a good fitting cyan satin, a jade white inlaid jade belt, and shoes made of fawn skin. This outfit, and then a dusty, rustic bamboo basket on the back, this image is really ......

Cherry snickered a few times in her heart, and said, "If you feel heavy, give it back to me." ”

"You can carry something, where can I not carry it? Let's go! Zhou Mingyuan squinted and looked around, urging Cherry to hurry home.

On the way, I met many villagers and cast strange glances.

The corners of Zhou Mingyuan's eyebrows kept twitching, his face hung slightly, and he walked quickly under his feet.

He also had such times of embarrassment. Cherry smirked wickedly, deliberately slowing down and dragging at hand.

"Sakura, why did you come back?" Entering the courtyard, star fruit was sitting on the wooden couch in the courtyard and collecting shoes: "I went out without a sound, and I came back when it was dark, I don't know if you are on the run, those people who are close to the door?" You're really, running away and leaving us here. By the way, Zhou Gongzi went to look for you, but there is a ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Mingyuan who came in later, and immediately saw the bamboo basket on Zhou Mingyuan's back, and hurriedly greeted him:

"How can you ask Zhou Gongzi to carry things for you? You're really, too, and you don't have any sense of proportion!! As he spoke, he beckoned Mi Tao and Mian Tao to help Zhou Mingyuan take off the basket on his body.

"Defenseless, defenseless, I'm going to carry it for her. How could she carry such a heavy thing? Zhou Mingyuan rubbed his shoulder, where it was called the pain of the basket rope, and he had to pretend to be nothing.

"What are you doing here?" Mi Tao reached out and opened the lid of the basket, revealing a basket full of yellow and sweet figs.

A yard of people was pleasantly surprised: "Where did you get this good thing?!" ”

"So much!" Mi Tao was already happily running back to the kitchen to get the pot: "It's enough for us to eat, and then give some to the uncle's family and Runsheng's family, and I will dry them into dried fruits, you can eat them slowly!" ”

"Hehe, I picked it in the mountains, and I found a big fruit tree!" Cherry smiled and pinched one and sent it to the carambola's mouth: "I heard people say that eating this is the best for pregnant people, you eat more!" ”

"Hmm. It's so sweet. Star fruit took a bite and grinned happily.

"Figs? I've heard of this fruit. Zhou Mingyuan said coldly beside him: "It seems to be sweet and delicious." But...... This kind of tree is generally domestic, and the branches are deliberately lower, if it is wild, and it is in the deep mountain forest, it should be relatively high, right? As he spoke, he looked up and down the cherries a little strangely: "You are alone, and you have to hold the basket, how do you climb the tree, how do you pick it?" When you take it off, how do you get it down? ”

Cherry was stunned, this Zhou Mingyuan was so careful, he couldn't lie to him about anything.

"Hey, it's true that Zhou Gongzi said that." Carambola took a breath and looked at the cherry strangely: "How did you get it down?" ”

As soon as the star fruit took the lead, several sisters in the yard looked at the cherry.

"Didn't I learn the tricks from people before? I haven't thrown it away in the past few years, and I've been practicing. It's okay to carry this little thing, if he hadn't run to join in the fun, I would have carried it back by myself. Besides, the tree is actually not tall, it is short and big, and it is very convenient to climb up and down. The cherry waved his hand as if he didn't care: "Or, how else can it be picked?" In short, it's not to steal. What are you doing when you're idle? Let's quickly pick up the fruit, hang it when it should be dried, and wash it when it should be washed. It is estimated that the bottom layer has been crushed, see if you can eat it, if you can't eat it, give it to the uncle's pig, don't waste it. ”

"That's right. Mi'er, cotton, hurry up, pick out the fruit first. Only then did the star fruit find that the bottom of the basket had honey and juice oozing out, so she quickly opened it up.

"It's coming!!" Mi Tao took out several pots from the kitchen, and the sisters began to pick them up.

"It's so sweet! It's been a long time since I've eaten such a good fruit. "The rice peach can't be greedy, so I eat it while picking it up.

Walnuts also stuffed one into their mouths: "Well, these seem to be very sweet." Fourth sister, where did you pick it, wait a few days, let's pick some and come back, and ask the second sister to dry the fruit and keep it for later. ”

"It's all gone, it's all here. Then there are those that are ripe and can't be picked, and the green ones can't be ripened at all before winter. I've taken almost everything off. "When Zhou Mingyuan said that, she couldn't take her sisters to go again. When the time comes, when she sees that the tree is tall and strong, how can she explain it?

Zhou Mingyuan turned around a few times on the side, tentatively picked up a fruit, pinched it, took it under his nose and sniffed it a few times, looked back and forth, tried to stick out his tongue and tried it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and also followed the example of a sister, opened his mouth and took a bite, and ate sweetly.

"Didn't you say I threw it away? Why are you still eating? "Cherry is deliberately sarcastic.

"I've only heard of this fruit, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious." Zhou Mingyuan smiled: "It's sweeter than the rock sugar cherries you mixed!" ”

"Let's eat a few less, and keep them to dry." Cherry picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water.

The fruits were divided according to their quality, put them in several pots, carefully washed them with water, and fished some of the best star fruit, put them in a small plate, and asked rice peaches and cotton peaches to send a plate to Yue Fu's family and Runsheng's family respectively. The rotten ones that couldn't be eaten were all sent to Yue Fu's house to feed the pigs. The rest, all of which were in similar condition, were sun-dried, slightly broken but still edible, filled a full plate, and served to a few sisters on the table to eat.

"What are you glaring at me for?" Zhou Mingyuan calmly stuffed a big fruit into his mouth, and looked at the cherry with a smile: "But eat a few of your fruits, look at your distress." Hold on, I've got something good for you. ”

"What's that?" Cherry twisted her face absently.

"A famous post."
