Chapter 14: Enough cherries are ripe
Those who go to bed early will naturally get up early, and after eating hot porridge with shepherd's vegetables and chicken at home, Wulang Liulang, Lin Wan'er and Xiao Qiqi went to the field.
This year, their family planted a season of wheat in the field, it is the time to set ears, but there are always some weeds in the field from time to time, which makes people have a headache, you must know that the weeds are too vigorous but it is easy to affect the wheat harvest, their family can count on the wheat of these three acres in the first half of this year, but they can't let this weed ruin the crops, so that their hard sweat is all in the soup.
Gorou and Rokuro said they would do it, rolled up their sleeves and squatted in the ground and chirped the grass, while Lin Wan'er took Xiaoqi to dig wild vegetables on the ridges, they were still too weak to pull out the weeds whose roots were deep in the soil, so they could only pick some easier jobs to do.
When Lin Wan'er and Xiao Qi dug up half a basket of camellia, the people in the village came to work in the fields one after another, and when they saw Wulang Liulang, there was no one who did not praise them for being sensible and willing to endure hardships, and even Lin Wan'er and Xiaoqi were praised by the way. When I met those simple villagers, I went down to the field to help pull out a little without saying a word, which made Goro and Rokuro a little embarrassed.
With the help of the enthusiastic villagers, the weeds in Lin Wan'er's field were quickly removed, saving a lot of time for Wulang Liulang to come out, and the two of them couldn't be idle, so they hurriedly washed their hands by the river and then dug up the shepherd's cabbage with Lin Wan'er.
"Okay, there are two baskets of camellia should be enough for our family to eat for a day, eldest brother and second brother, let's go to Nanshan to have a look, this season, the fruits on the mountain should be ripe." It's okay to eat this thing occasionally, if you want to take this as a dish every day, your mouth will definitely be tasteless, it's better to try your luck in the mountains and find out if there is anything delicious.
Goro Rokuro took the basket in Lin Wan'er's hand, and spontaneously walked in front to lead the way, there is a shortcut here to get to the mountain faster, and the road is easy to walk.
"Sister, there's a big cherry tree over there." Xiao Qi exclaimed excitedly, there was joy in his eyes, he had been thinking about this cherry for several months, and he had been counting the days when the cherries were ripe since it bloomed.
The life of the peasants in this dynasty was very hard, except for the New Year's holiday, the children in the family were rarely able to eat decent snacks, but the wild fruit trees on the mountain provided them with the opportunity to satisfy their hunger, so every time the fruit ripened season, it was the happiest time for the children.
"Second brother, take out the hook quickly." Lin Wan'er said anxiously, looking up at the cherries of this tree eagerly, eager to grow wings and come out, and immediately fly up to eat a round belly.
Hearing this, Rokuro took out a seven-shaped hook and a few thin hemp ropes from the basket, selected a branch of moderate length and thickness in the forest, firmly fixed the hook to one end with hemp rope, and took this thing to hook the branch of the cherry tree full of fruits, and pulled it down with a slight force, so that the person standing below could pick it to his heart's content.
The branches of the cherry tree are too thin to carry the weight of a small child, but this hook solves this problem very well, Lin Wan'er and Xiaoqi are very happy to pick, but they are not in a hurry to put it in the basket, they all plan to eat here first and then load it, anyway, there are still so many cherries on this tree, and the four of them can't pick them at all.
Cherries have always been an expensive fruit in Lin Wan'er's impression, although she loves to eat, but she can't afford the price of forty or fifty-one catties, and every time she waits for a large number of them to be listed, she only buys a few taels to satisfy her hunger, how can she eat a meal with an open stomach like today, she feels so happy at the moment.
Liulang saw that everyone was eating cherries, but his mouth was still empty, he was in a hurry, and without waiting for Xiao Qicai to give it to him, he himself had a free hand to pick the cherries closest to him, one string after another stuffed into his mouth, eating quickly, the cherry pits out like firing a bullet, "poof" spit out the side of his feet, quite a bit of Zhu Bajie's posture of eating ginseng fruit, that funny appearance made Lin Wan'er laugh.
