The rural road is difficult to travel, when the rain and the ass are about to fall apart, the ox cart driven by Wang Yong finally drove into the country road from the outer road, and there is a large green mountain at the head of the road, and the word 'Zaozhuang' in red font on the top has become mottled with the erosion of wind and rain.

From this place, both sides of the road are covered with jujube tree branches that are taller than a person.

As the temperature warms up, there are a lot of green shoots on the branches, dense, and they look particularly vibrant.

Shi Yu's buttocks were sitting painfully, and she had long lost her energy, and when she saw the village in the distance, she was as happy as if she was something:

"Hey, I've seen the village! Brother Yong, you stop, stop, I'm going to walk this way! ”

She couldn't wait to get out of the car.

Wang Yong was also afraid that she would fall off the ox cart.

Hurriedly pulled the big black bull who was going.

The car had not yet stopped, and Shi Yuhou jumped out of the car in a hurry, because her butt was so painful that she almost fell and her face bloomed, but fortunately she was still stable in the end.

But this was enough for the old lady to be frightened, "Ouch four girls, why are you so anxious?" How can you explain to your parents that you have broken your face? My heart, are you scared? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, milk, I'm hard! Even if you really fall, you can't break people at this height. ”

Shi Yu waved his hand, his face full of indifference.

Grandma Meiying had palpitations, "It's not bad to fall, but there are so many small pebbles on this road, Sister Yu, you have fine skin and tender meat, what if you break it?" I can't do this next time, I'm scared ......"

Wang Yong is a little shy.

Although not as concerned as the two old men, their eyes were full of worry.

Although Shi Yu was helpless in his heart, he also repeatedly assured everyone that this matter was revealed.

But she's a master who can't be idle.

Settle down, like a busy little bee, run here, take a look there, the two old ladies have no choice but to follow, let Wang Yong go to the village to his aunt's house to inform them, it just so happens that they are also tired, and they can relax their muscles and bones when they walk.

"Four girls, slow down, what are you thinking?"

When the old lady saw her granddaughter go to pick up the branches of a jujube tree again, she was so tired that she waved her hand weakly.

Meiying's grandmother smiled, "A-Ying, I have found out, your four granddaughters like these jujube trees!" ”

Saying that, Shi Yu, who was staying under a jujube tree in front of him to watch, shouted, "Sister Yu, it's not time for us to come, wait until autumn, I'll come with you again, then there will be mountains on both sides of the road, there are dates all over the mountains, pick them casually, eat them sweetly!" ”

It doesn't take until the golden autumn to imagine the fruitful results of the trees and bent branches.

There are many jujube trees here.

From both sides of the road to the distant village stretched, all the way to the village without seeing the head into the village, worthy of the famous 'Zaozhuang'.

"Well, I'll have to eat enough then!"

Shi Yu smiled and turned back to support the old lady.

By the way, I heard two old people talk about when they were young and could be little girls, every year in the golden autumn, Grandma Meiying would come to her aunt's house, and the old lady would come over to eat dates.

As he spoke, the village grew closer.

An ox cart came out of the village, and on the cart was a middle-aged man, with dark skin, a simple smile, and a half-sleeved cloth shirt that was sewn and mended, and even the upper of his shoes was exposed.

came to the introduction, and Shi Yu knew that this was Wu Meng, the son of Meiying's grandmother's aunt.

Shi Yu was called by Wang Yong and called him Uncle Wu.

After that, everyone got in the car and went to the village.

On the way, Shi Yu couldn't help but inquire about the situation of bamboo shoots:

"Uncle Wu, are there a lot of bamboo shoots in the village this year?"

"Yes, there is a lot of rain this year, and the bamboo shoots on the waterside of the mountain are popping up like leeks, who dares to eat more of these in previous years? Fuel Miles! Without oil and water, it's like eating firewood......"

Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Why don't you talk about our luck?" The new daughter-in-law of the village chief's family this year is on the pond, and she went back to her parents' house to know that you were harvesting bamboo shoots, and when she came back, the whole village would know, otherwise she wouldn't be able to talk to you. ”

"You don't know, last year's original patron said that this year will not accept our dates, the jujube tree in Zaozhuang is the biggest input of the big guy in the village, this jujube can't be sold, there must be someone hungry in winter who can't marry a daughter-in-law, fortunately, you come to harvest bamboo shoots, otherwise, this day is sad......"

Shi Yu didn't know that there was this stubble.

Just about to say something.

The two old ladies had already exchanged glances.

Meiying's grandmother said, "Cousin, there are no outsiders here, my cousin will also give you a word, the bamboo shoots must be collected by our Siying workshop, but the Siying workshop is not my alone, several people's shares, how to collect, what kind of fineness, what kind of price, this must be a little different from Shangshuitang, you also know, we have come all the way over the mountains and mountains, and when the time comes, we have to toss just to transport the bamboo shoots back. ”

"I get that."

Cousin Wu was silent for a while before nodding and said, "In this way, I'll send you to your house to drink hot tea first, my mother hasn't seen your cousin for a few days, she still talks in the morning, I'll go to the village chief's house, and the village chief will come forward, so it's easy to say anything." ”

As he spoke, the ox cart stopped in front of the gate of a mud-tiled house.

Shi Yu helped the two old ladies to get out of the car, and Wang Yong followed people out to meet them, and it was really a good reception when they entered the door, and the melon seeds and snacks and tea did not fall at all, in the countryside, this is definitely a guest treatment.

And Shi Yu also met Mei Ying's grandmother's aunt Wu Wang.

The old lady in her seventies, small, with an old face, but her body looks quite healthy, on the way to the rain, she knew that the old lady lost her husband when she was young, and she lived with several children.

On the way, Shi Yu was warned, and this Wu Wang clan was a little difficult to provoke.

But this will look at the old lady's happy eyebrows, Shi Yu really didn't see it.

As soon as she entered the door, Wu Wang's family had already stuffed several handfuls of peanuts and melon seeds into her hands, and seeing that the rain pocket was about to run out, she went out to find the village chief's Uncle Wu's house.

Shi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, too enthusiastic! I almost couldn't resist it......

There was also a middle-aged fat uncle with a short beard who came with Uncle Wu's house, looking at the satin clothes and wealth, the family background was obviously good.

With the introduction, Shi Yu also knew that this person was the village chief of Zaozhuang.

However, this village chief seems to be a little pedantic:

"Two old sisters, the price is easy to discuss, everyone is a fellow villager, but well, it is better for a woman's family to teach her husband and children at home, I heard that your workshop business is good, and we have a lot of bamboo shoots in Zaozhuang, why don't you find a head of the family who can talk?"
