Chapter 9: The Ruffian Man
Liang Xiaonan searched in her mind, this is not from Dakeng Village, she doesn't know her.
Given the reputation of "Liang Xiaonan", she is also not interested in greeting people. A tree of peaches, this person will not "have a share in the seeing", right?
The man didn't think about getting a piece of the pie, and stood still not far away, dozens of meters away, and took a look at Liang Xiaonan.
I didn't really look at it, but my figure was really good.
Thin and tall, a patched ragged dress can't hide her slender and straight beautiful legs, and she can't hide her soft waist as thin as a willow.
The girl was under the tree, reaching out to pick the peaches on the tree, and her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her thin white wrists, which looked terrible.
He shook his heart.
Liang Xiaonan saw that he didn't come, so he turned his face, now people's thinking is very conservative, only bad women will stare at men.
When they first arrived at the bottom of the tree, several gray hen pheasants "cooed" under the tree, and two colorful male pheasants pecked on the tree and trampled peaches for the hen pheasant.
Liang Xiaonan smiled and said, "It's good for you to take my peaches and give them to the girls." ”
As soon as they approached, those pheasants immediately flew out, Liang Xiaobei swooped down, grabbed a female pheasant, and the others had all fled.
He tied the pheasant with a rattan and said excitedly, "Sister, look how beautiful its feathers are." ”
"It's okay." Where is the gray flutter looks good.
Liang Xiaonan picked two peaches first, washed them in the stream next to them, and handed them to Liang Xiaobei: "Let's taste it first." ”
In the mouth of the peach, the flesh is so delicate that it melts in the mouth, the juice bursts open, cool and sweet, the mouth is clear, along the throat, ironed to the bottom of the heart.
Sure enough, the fruit irrigated by the spiritual spring is also extraordinary, and the fruit of this tree can be sold for a good price again.
Liang Xiaobei has never eaten peaches when he is so old, his family is too poor, his mother is sick and hollows out the house, and then Wang Cuiying came, and he didn't give him food, where are there peaches to eat.
He finished biting the peaches by dividing them by two, and said, "Sister, this is simply a fairy peach in the sky, it is so delicious." ”
Liang Xiaobei picked all the peaches in the low places, and the high ones couldn't reach them, so he carefully moved them to the thin branches.
There are so many peaches in this tree that they can't fit in a bucket of dung. Liang Xiaonan quietly walked around to the back of the tree, stretched his hands between the leaves, and with a movement of his mind, he transferred most of the peaches into the space.
told Liang Xiaobei in his mouth: "Be careful, don't fall." ”
Liang Xiaobei agreed, raised his eyes and saw a man in the distance, and said, "Sister, there is a man peeking at you over there." ”
Liang Xiaonan looked over lightly, the man who came down from the mountain was still standing dozens of meters away, about twenty years old, with a high nose, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, very handsome, a little cynical between his eyebrows, and a little ruffian.
When the man saw Liang Xiaonan looking at him, he grinned and asked, "Do you need help?" ”
"No, I don't."
The man didn't come over and said, "It's only early June, and the peaches on the street will have to wait two months for them to come down. ”
This person left a good impression on Liang Xiaonan from the beginning, and now he tells her the market situation in this way, Liang Xiaonan has no reason to ignore people all the time.
His eyes looked him up and down: "Do you know the price of peaches now?" ”
The man was afraid of damaging her reputation, so he stood in the distance, showed a mouthful of white dangling teeth, and said: "I haven't seen peaches in the county, and the quality and fragrance of your peaches are far more than those in the south. ”
Ripe apples and pears are about 2 cents a catty, and her peaches are watered by the space spiritual spring, but others don't know, it's not low to sell for 1 yuan.
"Thank you."
"You can sell me some, I have an old man at home, try it."
The corners of the man's lips were always a little shy, but there was no frivolity at all. Although he was hanging a prey, Liang Xiaonan felt the breath of a familiar professional.
"You brought money?"
"Oh, no. Why don't I trade these pheasants and rabbits for you? ”
Liang Xiaonan saw that those pheasants were alive, so he thought about raising them in captivity at home and laying an egg to make up for himself and Xiaobei.
"You leave the pheasant to me, I don't know the weight of the peaches, I estimate that one has half a catty, and the pheasant weighs 1 catty, and it sells for 1 yuan at most. 1 chicken for 2 peaches, and your 5 pheasants will give you 10 peaches. ”
But the man didn't feel a loss at all, put down a bunch of pheasants, gave her two fat rabbits, exchanged 18 peaches, and turned around and went down the mountain.
Liang Xiaonan has a very good impression of him, if this person takes a peach and is still here to rub nonsense, she will be disgusted.
With Liang Xiaonan's cheating, the peaches of a tree are picked quickly, and the dung baskets and buckets are full.
The siblings plucked a lot of wild vegetables nearby and covered them with peaches before turning around and going down the mountain.
Liang Xiaonan carried a dung basket on his back, a bucket in his hand, and 6 pheasants, while Liang Xiaobei was injured and only carried 2 rabbits.
The two of them did not take the main road, but took a shortcut from the sparsely populated path to their home.
Grandma Liang went to the field to pick up ears of wheat again, the villagers have been digging in the soil for generations, and their feelings for food are far better than cash crops.
When Liang Xiaobei called her home, she saw that the sun was still early and she was reluctant to go home.
"Grandma, go back quickly, my sister and I have picked a lot of big peaches to sell in the city. We also caught 6 pheasants in the mountains, and my sister said to keep them at home to lay eggs. ”
"Really? Didn't you say that there were only a few? Grandma Liang was happy and strange, "There are often people in the village who go up the mountain together, why haven't they mentioned that there are peaches?" ”
Liang Xiaobei thought for a while and said, "Maybe people don't say anything when they see it." ”
It's entirely possible.
But when Grandma Liang returned home and saw a dung basket and a bucket of peaches, she was still so shocked that she couldn't speak: "Xiaonan, why are these peaches so big?" Did you run into the mountains? ”
"No, it's in the bushes halfway up the mountain, and everyone has been busy harvesting lately, and no one has gone up the mountain."
Grandma Liang saw the 6 pheasants and 2 fat rabbits again, and she felt very mysterious: "This is also what you two caught?" ”
"Yes," said the siblings in unison, "they came to eat peaches, and we caught them." ”
Grandma Liang didn't believe it, but the chickens and rabbits were in front of her, so she couldn't help but believe it.
Where are the people in the village willing to eat rabbit meat, Grandma Liang said: "You have also taken the rabbits to the city to sell, and the pheasants are kept at home and laid eggs for salt." ”
Liang Xiaonan cleaned up the back basket at home, spread a layer of grass on the bottom, picked up all the peaches, and then covered it with grass, she carried the basket, Liang Xiaobei carried the rabbit and entered the city again.
Dakeng Village has to walk 11 kilometers on a dirt road to get to the county seat, 22 kilometers back and forth, and she doesn't have much time to sell on the street, so she still went directly to the Yuxian Hotel.
If Zhang Ming was willing to ask for these peaches, she would sell them to them, and he didn't want her to go to the market to sell them again.
Before she reached the hotel, she saw a light-colored Volga standing out from the crowd of bicycles and ox carts.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and Zhang Ming led a group of people to meet him, with his waist slightly hunched, and personally opened the door for the people in the car.
There was a person in the car, with a majestic and dignified appearance, but his expression was faint, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and the black beads were shining coldly in the sun.
