My body recovered, and I didn't work so much that I had too much time to go to my supervisor to prepare for my thesis.

I tried to talk to André a few times about his next move, but I didn't have the courage to touch the topic.

André didn't seem to want to talk about it as much as I did, and he seemed to be releasing more of his energy into the gym.

Moscow in late autumn is as charming and tranquil as ever.

Mary Sauer was going to sketch in an apple orchard, and she asked me if I was going.

I probably know the location of our school's apple orchard, which should be at the back of the swimming pool. I haven't been there, though.

Last year, I saw Mary, Rosa, and Zimei picking some green apples to make jam, and I thought it was quite fun.

However, I was so busy with work that I never had time to visit the orchard.

Mary said they had been picking apples since last month. Now, I don't know if I can pick it up. She likes the autumn colors of the trees in the orchard, and she mainly wants to paint, and asks me if I would be interested in going along.

I don't want to draw if I want to, I'll spoil the scenery again, but not picking an apple has always been a stalk in my heart. I really want to go there and check it out.

Over the weekend, the people who called us on the floor, Basha, Edris, Rosa, Mary Sauer, Jin Li, and Xiangjia Zimei and Yong, went to the apple orchard together.

Like me, the first time I came here was incense.

Xiang marveled at how our academy had such a large hinterland, and she didn't even know that this was also our academy.

I said I knew, but I'd never been here. I only know that this is called an apple orchard, but I really don't know what exactly is inside.

Jin Li said that she was still a few years ago! She felt that this place was quite desolate, and there were often wild cats and wild dogs, and she didn't dare to come alone.

We walked into the apple orchard barricade barricade with iron nets, and it was really very desolate in the morning, as Jin Li said, and if it were not for the situation, the average person would have thought that he had come to the wilderness of the suburbs.

The garden was largely unattended, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and there was only a less obvious path leading to the fruit groves.

Fruit groves are not very regular. The fruit trees are left untended, almost like wild apple groves.

There was the nature of the wilderness that Mary loved, and she found a place to begin to paint her beauty.

We searched the woods for apples, and I found that there seemed to be more apples falling to the ground than on the trees.

The length of the apple here is definitely not the same as the apple we see in the store.

Not only is it very small, but it also seems to be green, and it smells sour, so I picked up a slightly reddish apple and tasted it, it was really sour. Moreover, the surface of the apple is quickly oxidized and turned brown.

Adris says this is due to apples' high levels of vitamin C.

Jin Li said that the apples here don't taste good, but jam is the best choice.

There were really not many apples on the tree, and Rosa said that it was easier to pick them last time they came, but now, only the apples from the top were left, and everyone couldn't reach them.

In this way, not every tree has apples on it.

We searched for apples in the woods, and when we found something that looked pleasant, we beckoned everyone to pick it.

I think the process of discovering apples seems to be more exciting than picking apples.

Suddenly, Basha spotted a large apple tree with a lot of big apples, and he excitedly pointed there for us to see.

We did feel like the apples on the tree were not small, but they were too tall for us to pick.

Andre climbed up the tree to get the apple down, but it was really far away.

He began to shake the branches of the tree vigorously, and the apple was actually shaken off by him.

Everyone laughed happily and went to pick up the fallen apples.

Then I looked up at André in the tree, he was wearing an open black jacket, black jeans, black travel shoes, and his black contrasted with the bright color of his body itself, blue shining eyes, and chestnut slightly curly hair hanging down on his white face looking down on everyone.

André shook the apple tree vigorously with his strong arms, and his face was filled with a smile of great joy when he saw the apples falling to the ground.

I didn't expect that Andrei's image at this moment would be forever fixed in my memory.

Andrei jumped down the tree, and he helped me pick up apples on the ground. We re-sifted the apples we had picked and about half of them were discarded.

Back in the dormitory, everyone started making jam, and I listened to Jin Li and Mary teach me their secrets, and Andre and I began to play with them. Only then did we realize that the apples we brought back were still too much for making jam. I did this for three days before we ran out of ingredients.

In the next few days, in addition to eating jam every day, I also forced Andre to accompany me to eat, and Andre was very face-saving about the jam he participated in. He actually spread it on the bread and ate a lot.

Andrei said that he thought the jam we made was better than the one we bought.

I think so, too.

Maybe the jam we make doesn't have preservatives, or maybe I use less sugar, but I think it's fresher and more delicious than the jam I bought.

Since then, I've only had the problem of eating jam that I make myself.
