Chapter 17 Beating Mangoes
Actually, picking lychees is not interesting.
The weather is hot, and there are many mosquitoes in the mountains.
The so-called excitement is probably to see the mountains full of lychees at your fingertips, so as to produce a sense of satisfaction of lychee freedom.
Su Xiaoting was still a little younger, and not long after eating breakfast, she had a full burp after eating for a while, and her eyes were rolling.
"Uncle Qinghe, I'm going to hunt mangoes, is it okay?"
Mango?
Su Qinghe then remembered that mangoes could also be picked.
Su Qinghe didn't know if there was a master of these mango trees on the mountain, anyway, he didn't see anyone pick them, and they all landed when the time came.
When he was a child, he and his friends often went up the mountain to pick mangoes, but when they didn't land enough, they would either take bamboo poles to knock them down, or climb trees to pick them.
I looked at the mango tree not far away, and the slender notes hung with green and tender local mangos.
Su Qinghe agreed, and specially told Su Xiaoting not to climb the tree.
"And mangoes?" When Bai Zhi heard this, she didn't eat the lychee anymore, and looked at Su Qinghe.
This look, this little expression, is just like the little guy. Especially the big watery eyes blinking and blinking, people can't afford to refuse at all.
"Go, go, go!"
"Yay!"
Bai Zhi hurriedly followed Su Xiaoting, the little guy was still nibbling on the lychee meat in Su Qinghe's hand, and a pair of eyes looked at Bai Zhi's back.
"Puff~Puff~"
Spit out the lychee meat in his mouth, and the little milk voice shouted "Mom~"
Su Qinghe wanted to laugh when he saw it, and he followed.
When I got closer, I saw Su Xiaoting handing a mango to Bai Zhi, "Uncle, this is ripe, give it to you." ”
Angelica Angelica pinched it in her hand, pinched her fingernails and picked them, and the originally intact mango appeared flawed, tearing open the skin, revealing the tender yellow flesh.
Su Qinghe just watched, all mouthful, salivating.
"Eat~" The little guy watched his mother eat one bite at a time, and shouted too.
"Do you want to eat it too?" Bai Zhi showed off in front of the little guy, and took another bite in front of the little guy.
The local mango was already fragrant, and when Bai Zhi leaned over, Su Qinghe swallowed a mouthful of saliva directly.
The little one is even more powerful, drooling like an unturned faucet.
At this time, it was even more noisy, not only did the little body twist around, but the two little hands were also flapping indiscriminately.
Su Qinghe's arms and face have suffered, the little guy is not light or heavy, don't look at the small people, the strength is not small.
Seeing that Su Qinghe was guilty, Bai Zhi hurriedly let the little guy lick the mango, and after this mouthful, the little guy's mouth was yellow.
The tip of the nose is also stained with mango pulp.
Su Qinghe also bit and ate, almost making the little guy cry.
"How old are you, just take care of food?" Bai Zhi laughed so loudly on the side.
Su Qinghe also shook his head helplessly, "Be good, read it to Dad, Mang~Guo!" ”
"Fruit~"
"Mango ~ fruit!"
"Hemp~Fruit~"
The little guy laughed again, "Mom~Guo~"
This education has failed!
I don't know where Su Xiaoting found a bamboo pole, it's not very thick, but it's more than three meters or four meters long.
can also be lifted, but the bamboo pole is too long, she can't use too much force, so she can only follow the inertia.
There is a harvest for every hit, as little as one, as many as three or five.
"Tingting, I'll come!" Seeing this, Bai Zhi ran over again, she thought it was funny.
This is terrible, Bai Zhi's hard work with a bamboo pole down, and the mango falls with a bang.
Seeing her rise, Su Qinghe didn't stop it, just smiled and watched from the side, trying to remember whose land belonged in his mind.
The mango tree is not ownerless, but the land has an owner. After all, it grows in other people's fields, it doesn't matter if you pick some food, if you have a large number, you still have to say hello to the owner's house.
didn't think about it, but saw Su Xiaoting dragging a bamboo pole back again.
One big and one small were very happy, the little guy seemed to be cheering, and there were more and more mangoes on the ground, Su Qinghe looked at it for a while, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes and quickly shouted to stop.
Seeing that Bai Zhi still looked unsatisfied, Su Qinghe looked helpless, "Take as much as you can now, I'll take the basket and put the rest back!" ”
Bai Zhi and Su Xiaoting hurriedly squatted down and picked up, throwing the broken ones aside, and soon there was a bunch of good quality left.
The local mangs are not big, and Su Qinghe looked at this pile and had hundreds of catties, and his mentality was a little broken.
When going down the mountain, Su Xiaoting put one in her left pocket, one in her right pocket, and held four or five more in her jacket.
Happy to hum a song in his mouth: "The only secret of the galaxy ~ the strongest person in the sky ~ righteous friends have a loyal personality ~ heroic and unspoiled ~"
sang the theme song of the TVB version of "Superman Tiga", and Su Qinghe also hummed in a low voice, "...... Defend human beings ~ Kick the earth ~ Hit the old bean with bare hands ~"
Bai Zhi heard it clearly and sneered.
……
"Yo, and you picked mangoes?"
When she got home, the old lady took a look at it and looked at the little guy who looked like a little cat, and she was happy.
Su Qinghe washed his handkerchief, wiped the little guy's face and hands, and asked the old lady: "Mother, whose family is at the west end of the lychee field in the Central Plains of our house?" ”
"Minghui's family!" The old lady didn't hesitate, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ah Zhi has beaten hundreds of catties of mangoes, I will have to load them back later."
Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly, and Su Xiaoting also lowered her head and ate mangoes.
"It's okay, anyway, if you don't fight, no one will pick it, Ah Zhi, you can pick more if you like to eat. We don't have much here, just a lot of fruit, and we can eat as much as we can! ”
The old lady said, and turned her head to look at Su Qinghe suspiciously, "Can you do it?" ”
"If it doesn't work, I'll decorate less and run a few more times!"
The old lady also went to get two baskets and a flat pole and came out, "Pay attention to safety when you go down the mountain, don't forget to get some for your Uncle Minghui's house!" ”
I didn't say to give money, after all, I didn't plant it to sell. If you say that you have picked hundreds of catties of lychees, you have to give money, and you have to say hello first.
When they went out, Bai Zhi and Su Xiaoting still wanted to go with them to help, but Su Qinghe didn't let them. How can this big and small person pick up the burden, at most they will help pick it up into the basket, which has little effect.
Before going up the mountain, Su Qinghe went to Su Minghui's house and told him about it.
Su Minghui waved his hand, saying that it didn't matter, and said that if he wanted to eat again, he would go to his house to get the net bag, so that it would be convenient to pick it, and he was not afraid that the mango would fall to the ground and be broken.
Su Qinghe was a little curious, "Uncle Minghui, you don't pick it, why don't you cut it?" ”
"I've thought about chopping it before, but you kids love to eat it, so forget it. I'm afraid that one day you want to eat it, crying to buy it, isn't it a waste of money? In fact, I'm even more afraid that you will steal other people's seeds. ”
It turns out that there is still this secret.
Su Minghui sighed again, "It's just that when you were young, you were looking for food all over the mountain, and now children hold their mobile phones all day long, and they don't eat the food when it is delivered to their mouths, where will they go up the mountain to pick it up and eat!" In the past two years, Tingting's girl will still pick it up. ”
Although he hasn't carried the burden for more than ten years, Su Qinghe still has some foundation. Descending the mountain to stabilize the center of gravity, pay attention to the feet, and finally pick up the mango back to the house without danger.
sent some to my uncle's house, and when I turned around, I received a call from Qin Hao, saying that he had already picked up Bai Zhi's parents.
