Chapter 228: The Turtle of the Zhenhe River

The father and son each held a turtle in their hands and happily walked up the hill one after the other.

The road on the mountain is more uneven than the road down the mountain, the long steep slope keeps going up, Ye Chenghu fell directly without taking a few steps, and the turtle in his hand was directly thrown out by him and rolled twice.

"Ah, my turtle......

"What a turtle, it's not off, it's here, get up by yourself, don't be hypocritical."

Ye Chenghu saw that this turtle fell, his head shrunk in, and his feet were facing the sky, he instantly smiled again, and quickly got up with his hands and feet, fortunately, it was winter, although they were not very cold here, but the children's clothes would still be thicker, and the fall would not hurt much.

He hurriedly stepped forward to grab his turtle, and carefully blew on it, patting the dust off its body.

Ye Yaodong was almost blinded to this stupid son, "Go faster, grind, wait until you get to the mountain to play with you."

"Dad, it's all dirty, can you wash it in water?"

"Don't worry about it, what are you washing?"

I didn't say I wanted to wash it, a turtle, and I was like a baby.

Sooner or later!

Ye Chenghu didn't care about his father's objections, so he grabbed the turtle and climbed down, preparing to go to the river to wash it.

"Damn, be careful, don't fall into the river, and don't let it escape, otherwise you'll have to hang Lao Tzu and beat it!" Ye Yaodong frowned and looked at his actions, it was really annoying to bring the child out, but fortunately he only brought one.

"No!"

Ye Yaodong saw that he was not at ease, so he also walked down the riverbank, but as soon as he walked down, he felt as if he had stepped on something and burst into a pulp?

He looked up and looked, an egg?

Wild eggs? Duck eggs!

"Come, son, here are duck eggs."

Ye Chenghu didn't care about bathing Wang Ba for an instant, and turned around happily, "Ah~ Dad, you have stepped on one."

"Who knew there were eggs in the grass, and I didn't look closely, and there are two more, you quickly pick them up and put them in your pocket, and go back at night and let your mother stew them for you, and I will wash this turtle for you."

If he accidentally planted himself in the water, if he went back, not only would he be beaten, but he would also be scolded when he was Lao Tzu.

Ye Yaodong was carrying the turtle, and as soon as he approached the water, he saw that there was a bigger one underneath, and his eyes widened instantly.

Although the water is clear, there is mud underneath, and the big king is lying in the mud, and it doesn't seem very clear when he is embedded in it, or because the water is clear enough, he can barely see the outline.

"it, the turtle of the town! Son, come here, there's a turtle the size of a basin."

Ye Chenghu was called by his father, and he felt that he was too busy, and as soon as he picked up two wild duck eggs and put them in his pocket, he heard his father call again, and hurriedly covered his pocket and ran over to see.

"Where, where?"

Ye Yaodong picked up a branch and stretched it out into the water and pointed it, Ye Chenghu jumped up with excitement in an instant, "It's so big, Dad, it's bigger than a basin, grab it, you go down and grab it......

Ye Chenghu said that he was still pushing his father to go into the water.

Ye Yaodong was pushed by him and swayed a few times, and he almost fell into the water.

This turtle son, when he saw Wang Ba, Lao Tzu didn't want it.

He slapped the back of the stinky boy's head, "Scratch your head, the river is so icy, it actually told you to go into the water."

"But that turtle is so big."

"It's good to see if it's long, let's catch it, the one at the bottom is so big, maybe it's a turtle in the river, just take a look."

The one at the bottom, the shell on the back looks almost bigger than the basin, such a big turtle, now there is no breeding goods, and it is a genuine "hundred-year-old turtle".

Such a big one, now people are very superstitious, some rural people believe that it can be "psychic", if anyone dares to catch, they will be drowned by the spitting stars, and I heard that the release of life will also be blessed.

Ye Chenghu squatted there with a regretful face, "

Can't you catch it and raise it at home?"

"No, it's so big here, it can only stay here and bless the water and soil."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he paddled the little turtle full of mud in his hand in the water, took a combat bath, and then lifted it up and put it in front of his eldest son.

"Take it, just take these two little ones back and play with them."

"But aren't you going to eat them?"

He suddenly stopped, "Eat one, leave one for you?"

"Alright then!"

Ye Chenghu reluctantly grabbed the little turtle and nodded, and then touched the shell of the little turtle comfortingly.

"Let's go, go up, I have been grinding for a long time, I haven't reached my destination for an hour on the mountain, and I will laugh to death when I say it......

"Isn't that you?"

"Haven't you been rubbing?"

"You caught the tortoise."

"Didn't you see that? You just fell......

"You're still squatting there looking at the turtle for a long time, and you still ask me to watch it together......

……

The father and son were fighting, one was disgusted, the other was talking back, they didn't give in to each other, one was holding a Wang Ba, and they slowly walked to the mountain noisily.

There were several grapefruit trees planted at the foot of the mountain, all of which were still hanging with fruits, and Ye Chenghu ran up mischievously and shook the grapefruit to let it swing back and forth.

As a result, the grapefruit fell and rolled directly down the dirt slope, Ye Yaodong stretched out his foot to hold it, picked it up and looked at the buttocks, it was very round, and he put it down and weighed it, it felt very heavy, it should be thin and meaty, and then put it under the tree.

"Don't be naughty, put this here first, and I'll pick you up when we go down the mountain later."

"Okay, okay, we'll pick a few more and eat them home."

"Well, your grandfather's family can eat as much as you want, don't need money, pick a few more later, now go up first", he stretched out his hand and pointed to the orange tree above, "Do you see those oranges in yellow and yellow?" The task in the afternoon is to pick oranges, so let's go up to your two uncles first."

"Okay, are my cousins all in the mountains? I'm going to show them my tortoise."

"It's a turtle, not a turtle, or you can call it Wang Ba, which is a combination of turtle and turtle."

"Hahaha, bastard!"

Ye Yaodong glanced at him with disgust, and went up the mountain first.

"Wait for me, Dad~"

"Huh? Who's coming?" A male voice came from the mountain.

"Ah, it's me, uncle, I'm Ye Chenghu, I came with my father to pick oranges."

"Huh? Ah Dong is here, huh?"

"Cousin Cousin ......"

A sparse sound came from the forest above, and in a few moments, a figure ran down from above.

It's the brother-in-law.

Immediately after him, a large group of children followed, calling out to their cousin as they ran......

Ye Chenghu also ran up excitedly, and held his little turtle in his hand, holding it high to show his cousins and cousins, and a group of children chattered excitedly around the turtle and discussed excitedly......

Ye Yaodong also handed the one in his hand to them to play, and told them not to be bitten by the turtle, if they want to catch it, they must pick the two concaves under the belly of the turtle.

"Wow, my sister-in-law is so powerful......

"It's big......

"Where did you catch it?"

……

"How many kids haven't been to school today?"

Lin Xianghui trotted forward, "Isn't it that the family is too busy, my father's foot fell again, my mother has to take care of him again, and he has to cook, and there are not enough people, so let them take a day off to help go up the mountain to pick oranges." When did you come here, why didn't you sit at home for a while and run up the mountain?"

"I sat for a while, talked with my father, finished my snack, and thought about coming up to help pick oranges when I was idle, I heard that the price of oranges has been very good recently?"

Lin Xianghui's swarthy face was full of smiles, "It's okay, I heard that it's 5 more than last year."

That's why I thought about picking it in the next two days, for fear that the price would drop too late."

"That's good, it's 5 centimeters more, it's rare, then I'm here at the right time, I can help you pick it for two days."

The two of them talked as they walked up the hill.

"Hehe~ I heard that this year's canning factory came down to harvest oranges, and they wanted to collect them to make canned oranges, so the price was 5% more than in previous years, and there were no oranges in the village, and they all patted their thighs and regretted it, thinking that they would have to buy orange trees in the spring, so that they could be harvested in two or three years."

"Then you are lucky, just in time for the good price, and there will be more people planting next year, maybe the price will drop."

"yes, but that's hard to say."

"How's the yuzu harvest? I see there's still fruit hanging down there."

"The grapefruit is okay, the ones at the bottom are late-ripening, Dad originally planned to wait for the oranges to be picked, and then pick the ones below in a few days to send them to you, just when you came, just take them back to eat when you leave."

"That dare is good, it came early, it is not as good as the coincidence."

I heard that pregnant women should eat more fruits, so I just moved more grapefruit back to his wife to eat slowly, just forget about oranges, right? I heard that oranges will turn yellow if you eat too much! Also on fire! Will have a toothache!

Ye Yaodong walked up the mountain, said hello to his two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, and also took a sack out and shook it, and found a tree that had not been picked before picking it first.

"Adong, that is a bitter mandarin, don't pick it first, pick the orange first, the orange is valuable, the bitter mandarin can be picked in two days."

Ye Yaodong took a closer look, the top of his head was a little pointy, and the skin was still a little green, it was a bitter orange, this one was cold, and he could pick some back in two days!

He walked around a little more, identifying the oranges before he began to pick them.

These orange trees have only been planted for two or three years, and the trees are not big, they are short, they are easy to pick, and they don't need to climb around, which is much easier than persimmon trees.

While picking him, he peeled one and ate it, and in an instant his eyes narrowed into a slit, his facial features were wrinkled, a little sour, not delicious, there was no orange like decades later, and it tasted sweet.

But the stupid son at the bottom eats there with relish, and he keeps shouting delicious!

He also shouted that he wanted to feed the king......

"You guys aren't allowed to be naughty, don't play with them to death, hurry up and work, don't be lazy, and play again when you get back."

The children were immediately silent, and reluctantly played for a while, and only had to continue working when their mother called someone.

"Cousin, you have to keep an eye on them and don't let them crawl away."

Ye Chenghu sat on the ground and placed a bunch of oranges beside him, and nodded happily, "Don't worry, I'll use oranges to make a circle to ensure that they don't run away."

Only then did the group of children feel relieved to go to work.
