Chapter 21 The Mayor of the Town Visits the Orchard
After the meal was cooked, Wang Xiaocong didn't wait long, and Wang's father and mother came back with a hoe and a basket on their backs.
When he saw the finished meal, he showed a satisfied smile on his face, and praised Wang Xiaocong without being salty or light.
Wang Xiaocong secretly complained, this is too perfunctory, right?
But with a smile of embarrassment and joy on his face, he still looks like he is pretending, his father and mother can be perfunctory, but he can't......
Sandwiched with delicious roasted winter melon and shaved rice, my heart is delicious, and this little day is so comfortable.
After eating deliciously, the father and mother sat on the stool to take a nap, and the work of washing the dishes naturally fell on Wang Xiaocong.
Doglegs bring the dishes into the kitchen and put the leftovers away.
Fill the pot with water and wash it up.
But these dishes and utensils were just halfway washed, and suddenly there was a shouting sound outside.
It's the big voice of the chief.
The name of the chief is Wang Lizhu, which means the fence and fence of the walled courtyard.
It is said that Ao Chang's parents wanted to build such a walled courtyard, but they couldn't do it, so they pinned their hopes on Ao Chang.
In the end, the chief of the col also competed, and became the chief of Wangjiaao step by step, and successfully built a simple walled courtyard for his parents.
Although it is not beautiful, it is the wish of my parents.
Wang Xiaocong poked his head out of the kitchen curiously, and Wang's father and mother had already walked out to meet him.
The chief looked at Wang's father and mother, and said with a smile: "Good thing, good thing, the mayor came to inspect our col, saying that he planned to order some grains, vegetables and fruits from our col, and also specifically mentioned your family's fruits." ”
"No, the mayor wants to see with his own eyes how this fruit is grown, and I don't know, so I brought it to you."
"Don't drop the chain at this critical moment, let the mayor be satisfied, and we're going to send it here."
The chief of the col screamed exaggeratedly, almost jokingly, and the mayor next to him smiled helplessly and shook his head.
The mayor of the town looked middle-aged, with wrinkles in his eyes and overwork, and he was only in his thirties, but he looked like he was forty or fifty years old, even compared with the old peasants, it was not much worse.
The clothes are very simple and clean, and the material is better than the clothes worn by ordinary farmers, which is not comparable to many large families in the town.
By the mayor's side, there was also a middle-aged uncle with a shy belly.
Wang Xiaocong glared, isn't this the uncle who bought a lot of pears?
"It turns out that this uncle is a ...... of the mayor's family"
I remembered that when the uncle left, he said that they would meet again soon, and I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, was this specially for him?
The middle-aged uncle's gaze also seemed to wander, until he saw Wang Xiaocong and showed a gentle smile.
The round and fat face, the corners of the mouth grin, like a festive Maitreya Buddha, inadvertently give people a sense of intimacy.
At this time, Dad Wang spoke, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "This kind of trivial matter, how can you bother the mayor to come in person, send someone to come, we will naturally show him." ”
The mayor smiled slightly, "It's nothing, this body, it's better to walk around more, I have tasted the fruit that Da Zhuang brought back, after eating, I am refreshed, my spirit is much better, and my physical fatigue has also been relieved." ”
"When I asked him where he came from, he said that he bought it from the fruit you sold in the valley, and I thought about it to see how this fruit was grown, and it had such a miraculous effect, and it was better than many medicinal herbs."
"And it is certainly not ordinary people who can grow this kind of fruit, there is this kind of fruit, is there any similar grain and vegetable? If so, this may be a huge opportunity for the town to grow and develop! ”
"Once cultivated on a large scale, it will definitely be very popular, whether it is Wangjiaao or the whole town, it will be of great benefit."
In a few words, the mayor raised the importance of the fruit to a very important point, and even connected it with the whole town.
Not to mention Wang's father and mother, even Ao Chang's head was a little dazed at this time.
This fruit is delicious, but is it really that important?
But...... The mayor said so, so it must be!
In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, except for the middle-aged uncle's expected expression.
Wang's father and mother glanced at each other, and they both smiled, their faces full of embarrassment.
Dad Wang sneered: "This, in fact, we don't know very well, the fruit is made by our cubs, and we are responsible for eating it......"
Everyone was silent for a moment, then they all fixed their eyes on the head that poked out of the kitchen door.
Wang Xiaocong was slightly stunned, but Wang's mother immediately spoke: "You kid, what are you still doing there, don't you see the guests coming?" Hurry up and brew the pot of old tea that your father hid to boil water? ”
Then he smiled at the mayor and said, "Why don't you go sit down for a while?" Let Xiao Cong tell you slowly, it's that the home is a little simple, don't blame it. ”
Wang Xiaocong trembled, and went into the kitchen to complete the old lady's task.
But the mayor stopped him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be busy, just let the little guy take me to see the garden, there are many things in the town, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, I'm really sorry." ”
"When I have time, I must come to your col, sit at your house, and don't dislike me when the time comes."
The mayor joked, but once again brought the group closer.
Wang's father and Wang Ma didn't even dare to say it, with a kind smile on their faces.
Then Wang's father scolded: "Stinky boy, why don't you come quickly, take the mayor to see your orchard." ”
"Uh-oh." Wang Xiaocong panicked and responded twice, this is the mayor of the town, the first time he saw such a big official, he inexplicably felt a kind of nervousness and reverence.
Wipe the wet hands that had washed the dishes with a dry cloth, and ran out step by step, but it happened to step on the tail of the dog who was squatting not far from the kitchen door and looking at the situation over there.
"Whew-"
Bao'er screamed miserably, jumped up like a spring, and her eyes were full of tears.
Wang Xiaocong smiled apologetically, touched the dog's head as if soothing, and ran away with a smoke.
"Wow, the little master ran away, the little master bullied the dog, and the little master doesn't love me anymore." Bao'er squatted on the ground, feeling that the dog was so dark.
"Giggles, look at that stupid dog, you know how to pat yourself all day long, hehe, this is a disaster, right?"
"Giggles, that's it, maybe one day it will be made into a dog meat hot pot and served on the table."
"Quack, it's really a duck's heart, this dog-haired demon king has finally been retributed, I still clearly remember that the beautiful feathers on my body, I don't know how many bites I gave it in the dog's mouth, and I am almost bald!"
"Quack, you're so miserable, I'll be bitten once, and the rest of the time I'll be respectful first......"
Bao'er bared her teeth, and at this time, the master's family followed out, this group of guys dared to be presumptuous in front of themselves, is this the darkness that they have forgotten to be ruled by themselves?
"Wow! You give me death! ”
"Quack, quack, woop, woop......"
The whole family, chickens and dogs jumped in an instant, and duck feathers flew wildly......
On the other side, Wang Xiaocong also took the chief, the mayor, the middle-aged uncle, Wang's father and Wang's mother, and the family of Luo Cousin who heard the movement and followed curiously.
Walking towards the back hill, not long after, only ten minutes, everyone talked and laughed, but time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the orchard.
Four kinds of forty fruit trees, neatly arranged in a large circle, as the autumn begins, the vitality of the fruit trees decreases.
However, it is still lush and beautiful, and unlike many of the surrounding trees, the leaves have begun to turn yellow.
This is still around the spiritual land, in other places in Wangjiaao, and even some trees have begun to lose their leaves.
This unreasonable sight made everyone exclaim.
"Is this the fruit tree that bears that miraculous fruit? Sure enough, it's different from ordinary fruit trees. The mayor looked at the trees in amazement.
Ao Chang and Wang's father and Wang's mother, and Luo's cousin's family are a little confused.
It's not like they've never been to this place before, but there's no such scene, right?
In fact, it's no wonder that they are puzzled, if it weren't for Wang Xiaocong completely opening the low-level spiritual land, let alone such a spring and summer scene.
According to the original state of the spirit, it is very likely that the leaves will fall earlier than other places, and it will enter the winter scene earlier.
However, who told Wang Xiaocong to come here and deliberately hang up here......
