Yao Meilan took Qiuqiu's hand and told her mysteriously: "Fourth sister, my brother promised me, he will go up the mountain with us!" ”
Qiuqiu looked at the excited little sister funny: "Didn't you say that your brother is not free and won't go to play with us?" ”
Yao Meilan said proudly: "He said at the beginning that he was not free, and then I told him that I really wanted to eat red persimmons, and I was afraid that the persimmon branches would be brittle. ”
Qiuqiu was very surprised: "He was fooled?" Didn't you tell him I'd go too? The fourth sister is first-class, and she can pick the persimmon when she flies, and she guarantees that she will not let the branch break! ”
Yao Meilan grinned: "I said it, I said that our three sisters will go!" My brother is obviously not free, but he still agreed, do you think it's strange? ”
Qiuqiu laughed: "It's really a bit weird!" ”
Yao Meilan said again: "Fourth sister, the opportunity is so rare, when the time comes, you have to find a way to get out the inner words of the fifth sister and my brother!" ”
Qiuqiu was full of confidence: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to the fourth sister!" ”
The two sisters happily walked home, and after a while, Yao Meilan became entangled again, and asked in a low voice: "Fourth sister, you said that if the fifth sister is really married to her brother, then what should I call it?" ”
Qiuqiu knocked on her little head: "It's not simple, it's naturally called the fifth sister at home, and in your brother's house, it's naturally called sister-in-law, but the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, if you dare to shout it out, make it known to everyone, the fourth sister will ignore you anymore!" ”
Yao Meilan pursed her mouth: "Who said that there is no one in the eight characters?" I have a hunch that this is 80% possible! Unless Auntie and Daddy strongly oppose it! ”
Qiuqiu scolded her with a smile: "The day before yesterday, you said that you weren't sure what your brother thought, and now you said that there is an eighty percent possibility, how do I think you have a lot of water when you speak?" ”
Yao Meilan argued: "My words have no moisture!" If you don't believe me, you can bet with me! ”

The persimmon trees on the mountain are not tall, but they are connected into patches.
On the tree, which does not have many leaves, red ripe persimmons hang sparsely.
Sure enough, there were many birds eating red persimmons in their mouths on the persimmon tree, and when they saw someone approaching, they squeaked and flew into the sky, and as soon as the person left, they flew down again.
A few years ago, it was a large Lucao Mountain, with no tall trees.
Now that Yao Xiaoshi has planted persimmon trees, Yao Meilan has already told Qiuqiu that many of these persimmon trees were planted with the help of the fifth sister.
In September, her brother's persimmon turned yellow, and she, her father, and the fifth sister all came to help her brother.
Her father and brother were in charge of picking persimmons, and they and her brother's grandmother were in charge of shaving the persimmons, then washing the shaved persimmons, spreading them on a sieve made of bamboo, and drying them into persimmons.
This year, more than 10 baskets have been dried.
The money from selling persimmons alone is more than 100 taels of silver, which is envied by everyone.
Yao Xiaoshi also said that next year, when the persimmon trees are bigger, the yield will be higher.
Qiuqiu secretly praised that he was the champion in his work, and admired Yao Xiaoshi for groping his way out.
He, like his brother, has become the object that the girls in the town want to marry, and he dare not say that the matchmaker has broken the threshold, but they are undoubtedly sought-after.
It's just that he is as weird as his brother, and they all said that they would marry after the age of eighteen, and seeing that they were already eighteen, they were still not in a hurry.
Others inevitably made irresponsible remarks, saying that they had made money, and the corners of their eyes turned to the sky, but they were afraid that they wanted to find a fairy-like girl to be their daughter-in-law.
