Chapter 63: Hanging Green

When the lychees of the Yueshan family are ripe, the college entrance examination is approaching.

In the evening of that day, Yue Shan secretly asked his daughter: "It's only a few days since the college entrance examination." Don't you encourage Junxiao? ”

Ling Mei glanced at her father without a rut: "Brother Jun Xiao and I are pure brother and sister. ”

Yue Shan pulled his lips and smiled: "Are you serious? Brother and sister? You really don't like Junxiao at all? ”

Ling Mei nodded. Anyway, she has no love for Jun Xiao for the time being.

Get! Yue Shan smiled. I can't guess my daughter's thoughts, and I can't guess them. It's just that some sorrows and some joys: a child like Jun Xiao can't look down on it, um. My daughter's vision is really high.

"Even if it's a brother and sister relationship, you should encourage your brother." He looked at his daughter's expression, "Something happened to our family, but he came to care about you every now and then." You can't have no conscience. ”

Ling Mei was upset by her father's talk.

"Okay, okay. Shall I go and see if he is still successful? ”

Yue Shan is satisfied.

"Bring some of our freshly harvested vegetables. That's right. I'll pick some more lychees. ”

He has tasted his own lychee, although he doesn't know the variety, but the skin is thin and the meat is tender, the honey is rich, and the old sweet and old sweet are still crispy. It's delicious.

When Ling Mei saw the lychee she had picked, she was suddenly stunned.

"Daddy—" she held up the bright red fruit, "what kind of lychee tree is our family?" ”

Xiao Yueshan said: "I don't know either. It was already growing here when the house was built. ”

Ling Mei's eyes widened: "So it's because of this old tree that you chose to build a house here?" ”

Xiao Yueshan thought about it for a while, and he felt strange. Back then, the tree was nowhere near as shady and strong as it is now. On the contrary, it is a bit embarrassing. And it never bore fruit, so no one in the village ever cared about it.

But when I saw it for the first time, I didn't know why, and I thought it should be a tree in my yard.

"What's wrong?" Yue Shan asked, "What's so special about this tree?" ”

Ling Mei said with a little excitement: "Dad, look at this fruit." Red and purple, there is a green mark in the middle of the fruit! She peeled one very quickly, and it was fragrant, congealed but not overflowing. The taste is more crisp than the soft and glutinous of ordinary lychees, and the sweetness is ten times better! The nucleus is small and meaty, and it is too delicious to describe in words! She squinted her eyes and enjoyed it infinitely, "Dad." It's hanging green! ”

Xiao Yueshan was stunned, and looked up at the few fruits on the tree incredulously: "Hanging green? Is this hanging green? ”

Of course, he knew that Zengcheng, Guangzhou, had once produced hanging green, which was the best variety of lychees. But it is precisely because after the hanging green became a tribute, the people were blackmailed by the official history, and in order to save themselves, the fruit farmers simply cut down the hanging green. Since then, there has been no shadow of green in the world. I heard that there is only one ancient tree in Xiyuan Temple on the outskirts of Zengcheng that is more than 400 years old, and it has become a national treasure.

Yue Shan also came back to his senses after being shocked: "You can't be mistaken, right?" ”

The lychees all look similar, how can Ling Mei tell the difference?

Ling Mei only asked him: "Dad, you have been in Liangguang for so many years, have you ever eaten something more delicious than our lychee?" ”

No.

Yue Shan himself felt that this was the most delicious lychee he had ever tasted.

Ling Mei excitedly circled the fruit tree a few times. With such a mother tree hanging green, how many offspring can be produced in the future!

She put away her smile and reminded Yueshan: "Dad, you can keep this matter a secret." ”

Yue Shan believed seven or eight points. His voice trembled a little: "Understood." Same with wasabi. Let's 'take it slowly'. ”

Ling Mei applauded: "Dad, you are really too smart!" ”

Yue Shanchi asked: "Then do you want to send this lychee to Jun Xiao?" ”

Ling Mei smiled: "It's okay to give it to Dr. Zhu. They weren't locals, and they didn't recognize the greenery at all. ”

So Ling Mei took a large basket of fruits and vegetables and two catties of lychees and rode a bicycle to the small courtyard of Dr. Zhu's house.

"Ling Mei is here." Dr. and Mrs. Zhu were enjoying the shade in the courtyard. Dr. Zhu got up, "Look at you, why did you still bring so many things?" ”

Crispy raw cucumbers, beautiful loofahs, red tomatoes, tender chicken hair cabbage and water spinach, and never-absent cabbage are pleasing to the eye.

Yuzhi also greeted with a smile. Her husband has a labor review template this year. Thanks to Ling Mei for sending the credit to her husband.

Doctor Zhu shouted: "Jun Xiao." Ling Mei came with her lychee. Come and taste it. ”

Yuzhi secretly glanced at her husband helplessly.

The Xiao family's dishes are excellent, needless to say. Lychee is a common local fruit and is not worth much. But even though the sky was dark, Yuzhi could see that the bag of lychees was bright red and full, and it was big, and she exclaimed, "Your land, you can plant anything!" ”

Jun Xiao heard the sound and came out.

Instead, Dr. Zhu pulled his wife into the house.

Yuzhi blamed her husband with thin anger: "What are you doing? ”

"What are you doing? Is it okay to have a little eye color? Doctor Zhu glared at his wife, "Ling Mei is here at this time, she must be cheering for our son." And thou knowest thy son's mind. This kind of thing can only be unblocked. Don't be so honest when it's time to open one eye and close one eye. ”

Yuzhi was angry in her heart: "Who am I doing that for?" Ling Mei has been admitted to the first middle school. I might even be able to get into university in the future. Do you really want your son to marry her? ”

Doctor Zhu gave his wife a strange look: "If Ling Mei can really be admitted to BJ's university, what else is not worthy of Jun Xiao?" ”

Yuzhi was stunned, and said incredulously: "She is a peasant girl!" ”

Doctor Zhu was displeased: "What's wrong with the peasant girl?" How can you still have such rotten thoughts? ”

Yuzhi vented her anger, her nails pierced the lychees on her hands, and the sticky juice flowed all over her hands.

"You live in a small western-style building in Shanghai. I live in a courtyard house in the capital. Do you think the environment of our family is suitable for Ling Mei? ”

Dr. Zhu looked at his wife and said seriously, "I don't care what you think in your heart. I only care about who my son likes. If he takes a fancy to Ling Mei, Ling Mei is a good one. Do we still want to beat the mandarin ducks? ”

Yuzhi gritted her teeth: Hit it, hit it. There is no way that their family will let a peasant girl enter the door!

Doctor Zhu snatched the ravaged lychee from his wife's hand: "Don't waste good things." "After a few peels, I stuffed my mouth, and the sweet juice in my mouth was cold, and the meat was thick and small, and it was extremely sweet! Shocked, he couldn't help but look at this bag of lychees, is the lychee tree in Yueshan's house a new variety?

"I eat 300 lychees a day, and I always be a Lingnan person. I only understood Mr. Dongpo's state of mind today. As the parting was imminent, Dr. Zhu looked at the clouds and mist slowly falling from Xianyun Mountain, and for the first time he was reluctant.

Yuzhi sneered, isn't it a lychee? turned around and went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes that Ling Mei brought.

At this time, the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little delicate.

Jun Xiao took out a red dendritic object out of nowhere: "Give it to you." It's a gift to celebrate your admission to high school. ”

At a glance, Ling Mei turned out to be a coral pendant. Red coral is not cheap, it is gentle, and it also carries the body temperature of a teenager. If you look closely, it is really a small piece of red coral the size of a baby's finger, which is moist and beautiful. A large-bore pearl was set above the coral - the gold ingot made a contemptuous sound: a pearl pressed from shell powder. It's not worth the money.

Ling Mei: What do you know, this pearl is a button, in order to wear a chain.

Gold ingots continue to pick thorns: hand-woven chains are even less valuable.

Ling Mei is not angry: It's your business.

She looked up and smiled at Jun Xiao: "It's so beautiful." But isn't it too expensive? ”

"I picked up this little coral on the beach when I was at sea the year before, and it didn't cost anything. I deliberately strung pearls into a necklace. Jun Xiao was proud, "The chains are all hand-woven with my mother's silk thread." If you like it, it's fine. ”

The young man's heavy heart.

Ling Mei gripped the coral and weighed it again. She wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to make the young man sad and affect his college entrance examination. I had to take it first: "Then I'll take it first." Thank you. ”

The young man's eyes instantly shook off the starry sky.

Ling Mei asked, "That's right." You haven't told me which university you want to go to. ”

"BJ Medical University." Jun Xiao looked north, "The school my grandfather used to attend. ”

Ling Mei bowed: "It's a good school." You're sure to get in! ”

"I think I'm okay too." Jun Xiao was full of confidence, "What about you?" Do you still want to go to Agriculture and Forestry University? ”

"yes." Ling Mei lowered her head and kicked the pebble under her feet. "I just like farming and growing fruit. Brother Jun Xiao, don't believe it, I think I was born to belong to Xianyun Mountain. ”

Jun Xiao smiled and bent down to give a gentlemanly salute: "See Xiao Lingmei, the goddess of Xianyun Mountain." ”

The gold ingots screamed: Yo, this kid, this kid - phew!

Ling Mei was so amused that she hid her face and smiled.

Jun Xiao looked at Ling Mei Xianyan's smile, which was more refreshed than eating the elixir.

They don't have much time to get together, and soon they will be separated. For the reunion in the future, Xiao Lingmei, please work hard.

"Xiao Lingmei, remember that I was waiting for you in BJ."

"Zhu Junxiao, remember to invite me to eat all over BJ City."
