After this day, Lily went to the intersection to sell flowers as usual, but she was awakened in her heart, and she was no longer as big as before, and she paid attention to observing, and once or twice a day she could catch a glimpse of the willow like a dragon sneakily following her.

After a few days, the peach blossoms withered, and the stream flowing out of Xiaodonggou was dyed into the Peach Blossom Creek, and the lily no longer sold flowers, but only made some dried flower sachets to sell to those who were unwilling to leave in spring.

The flowers fell, but the business did not decline, and Lily found new business opportunities. She brought a message to Li Mingjiang, don't make the basket too big in the future, as long as it is the size of a palm, it doesn't have to be particularly good-looking, as long as it looks delicate and can hold things.

In late spring, clusters of raspberries have grown. Raspberries are called raspberries in some places and raspberries in others, and there are many names and varieties.

Ordinary red raspberries are sweet and sour, red like small lanterns.

There is a kind of growth close to the ground, the size of a man's finger, and the golden yellow particles are very strong, sweet and easy to pick. This is called a "yellow ground berry".

The "black raspberry" grows in the bushes more than one person high, dark purple, with a layer of hoarfrost like grapes on the surface, and the skin is very thin, and it is difficult to wash off the purple juice when you touch it. This raspberry can turn people sour when it is not ripe, and once it is fully ripe, it is full of sweetness.

The other kind of grain is as bright and beautiful as a ruby, and the taste is also sweet and sour, which is called "fragrant berry".

There are also rare "old manberries" with long white hair and very elastic chews, and only "sour raspberries" that are not sweet at all in sour taste

Each type of raspberry grows and ripens at a different time, and can last for months from late spring to midsummer. The children in the countryside like to eat raspberries, and when the raspberries are ripe, they will call their friends to pick them, and some of them will be in the mountains for the first day, and when they come back, they will be full of juice that cannot be washed off, and they will also attract adults to have a good meal. Some adults who dot on their children, go out to do their own work, and also from the fields

Pick some raspberries from the field and give them home to the children.

But they all picked it and ate it themselves, and never thought that this little thing could be sold for money. Lily carried the basket into Xiaodonggou early in the morning, and in less than two hours she could pick a basket of raspberries. The raspberries on the same tree also ripen early and late, so a tree can be picked several times, not afraid of being like a peach blossom, this tree has broken branches, and next time you have to bypass it, so as not to hurt the tree

Life.

There are two things to pay attention to when picking raspberries, for a while, ants and insects love sweetness, you have to choose carefully, you can't bring insects in, otherwise you can let people eat them, and the lily business will not have to be done. Second, there is a kind of red wild fruit, the appearance is between raspberries and wild strawberries, commonly known as "the old woman", this thing is highly poisonous, often children do not know, often see it has a good color, and raspberries, wild strawberries are as red as they are, they pick them to eat, the abdominal pain is like strangulation, and the weight is heavy

Death by poisoning.

The adults told me thousands of times, and every year there are still children who are recruited, and Lily herself is afraid of picking the poisonous fruit by mistake, so she is very careful every time.

The picked raspberries can be stored for half a day at most, and any more will spoil. Lily tied the basket to the reel and lowered it into the well, and the cool air of the well water was spurted, which could be kept for a day.

She was able to sell half of them before noon, and the price was cheaper in a small basket woven by Li Mingjiang, and some of them were cheaper in a pack of poplar leaves that had been washed directly from large sheets.

Not only the horse-drawn carriages passing by, but also the children in the town looked greedy, crying and asking the adults to buy a bag, and if they don't want to wrap the leaves, they must have a small basket, and the family wine can still be used, which is particularly magnificent.

In the afternoon, the weather will be hot, and the remaining raspberries will be taken out of the well, cold and sweet, mixed with different species, with attractive colors, and will soon be sold out in the second wave. After a few days, raspberries sold better than peach blossoms.

Lily specially set aside a bag of the sweetest for the apricots, and took it to Liu Yi's house when the sun was in the west, and the small basket was also specially made by Lily to make Li Mingjiang, and even the handle was twisted out of the pattern of five-petal apricot blossoms with bamboo silk, which was so staggering.

Apricot thanked Lily, held the small basket and didn't eat it first, and wanted to show off with her little friends. Li Caifeng looked at her unhappy appearance, and shook her head amusedly: "You just rely on your Aunt Lily to hurt you." ”

Xing'er said, "Mother, I also hurt Aunt Lily." ”

Li Caifeng didn't know what to say for a while, but Lily laughed and echoed: "Yes, Xing'er also hurts me." ”

After Xing'er left, Lily said what she meant: "Sister Caifeng, I want to borrow sunspots from you for a few days." ”

Li Caifeng quickly thought of why Lily wanted to borrow a dog, and frowned: "I'm listening in a trance, someone doesn't behave well with you?" What happened in front of the butcher shop that day didn't avoid people, Song Dagui is not a talkative person, but the people next to him always have a head.

These days, Lily relies on the natural apricot blossoms, peach blossoms and raspberries, and she makes a lot of money without a penny.

In the countryside, whenever a woman makes a scandal, no one will think that the woman is forced by a man, but will only think that the woman is unruly and uneasy.

One by one, people pointed at the woman's nose and scolded, but they didn't dare to knock the man who did the ugly thing to the ground, and asked him why he wanted to persecute a woman who was not as strong as him?

Thousands of years have passed through the ages, even before the lily crosses, it has not changed.

Lily enjoys the slow life in the countryside, but she is most tired of this. Listening to Li Caifeng talk about the not very good news, Lily's face was a little unpleasant.

Li Caifeng reacted and hurriedly relieved her: "Don't be afraid, how can I not believe you? Our sisters in our own family have no foundation in this town, the most important thing is to support one by one, how can I accuse you like outsiders?"

Rumors can't hurt people, and rumors can kill people.

Those who gossip may not mean to force people to die, sometimes it is just to satisfy their pride in turning their tongues with others, but rumors are growing stronger and stronger in such whispers, and finally force women to bear it.

Li Caifeng sighed: "I'll take the sunspot to your house later." If you don't have to watch the house, and you still have chickens at home and can't leave people, you can come to my house to live. ”

No matter how good other people's homes are, they are not as comfortable as their own, Lily is grateful to Li Caifeng for her enthusiasm, she didn't doubt her at all, and stood firmly on her side when rumors spread, this affection is extremely rare.

But she still has to manage her life well, and she can't rely on Li Caifeng's house to get through this difficulty, otherwise, what will she do next time there is such a thing?

Not long after dinner, while the sky was still bright, Li Caifeng took the sunspot to Song's house and asked Lily to give it a bowl of rice to eat, and it settled down temporarily.

Kuroko's body is slender, a bit like a thin dog, and his coat is pure black and shiny, and he is majestic. It wanders around the house, sniffing here and there, and sometimes raising its hind legs to pee, as if it were its own territory.

Li Caifeng saw that the dog had no intention of running, so he was a little relieved, and said to Lily: "Don't look at the sunspot in front of us, it is fierce! ”

Lily smiled and nodded, she had heard Song Haonian say that the sunspot was brave, so she would borrow a dog from Li Caifeng to watch the house.

Li Caifeng told Heizi again: "Take good care of your home, and go back to reward you for eating meat." "It's as if Kuroko can understand.

Kuroko is a good dog, as long as there is nothing serious, it will never bark when the wind blows the grass a little, so it does not disturb Lily's sleep. Once an outsider approaches, it will observe for a period of time, and if it feels that the other party is threatening, it will shout a warning.

If outsiders are more vicious, Kuroko will pounce on each other and bite each other, and will never leave their owners and run away as soon as they are frightened like ordinary timid dogs.

It wasn't until dawn that Kuroko barked along with the chickens in the coop, reminding Lily that it was time to get up and do her work.

Lily scratched the fluffy fur on Kuroko's chin, listened to it make a series of cooing sounds, and gave it a portion of her own meal, praising him for being a good dog.

Kuroko wagged her tail happily and licked Yuri's palm with her tongue, making her giggle.

Lily entered Xiaodonggou again, and took Kuroko with him. With Kuroko there, she dared to go deeper, feeling that the mountain roads were not as quiet and terrible as usual, as if a monster would jump out at any time.

As a dog, Kuroko actually likes the black raspberry, but it is covered in hair, and it is good to lick some yellow raspberries by himself, the thorns of the black raspberry are deep and dense, and it stretches out its mouth and only ends up being pricked and whined, so it has to do it around in a hurry.

Until the lily picks the raspberry and gives it a few grains, it sticks out its tongue and curls its tail, and wags its tail more cheerfully.

Here the lily picks the berries, the sunspot is scurrying around, the lily is about to leave after picking the berries, and shouts: "Sunspot, go home!" When I turned around, I saw that it was holding a fat rabbit in its mouth, and it was wagging its tail at her.

Most dogs and rabbits will bite the rabbit to death directly, the dog's teeth are poisonous, so the rabbit will not have much meat to eat, so it has to be fed to the dog, but the sunspot is careful, the rabbit's fur has not hurt much, and the lily grabbed the ear and lifted it and kicked it with strength.

Lily was amazed by the dog's spirituality, took the raspberry and the rabbit home, imprisoned the rabbit in a bamboo basket, and took the dog to the street to sell raspberries. Kuroko is very well-behaved on the street, and he looks energetic, not at all frightened by the traffic of people, but he also does not show his teeth at people casually.

There was a kid who bought a raspberry and wanted to pull Kuroko's tail, but Kuroko didn't bite and hid behind Lily. Lily hurriedly stopped the child, otherwise Kuroko's beautiful tail would suffer.

At night, I carried the rabbit to Li Caifeng's house, and the two women took a little girl to fry the rabbit meat to eat, and left all the internal organs for the sunspot, and today it is a great hero. The cool moon is like the newly painted eyebrows of the daughter's family, hanging on the top of the willow tree, looking at the earth gently. Lily took advantage of the moonlight to walk home, followed by a lively black dog.
