Passing through Yiling City, the train to Xinjiang departed.

The soft sleeper that the company bought for Cao Zhen, from this point of view, really didn't treat him badly.

Stuffing the two suitcases under the sleeper and putting them down, Cao Zhen took off the plastic bag containing the apples, his mouth was very light, and he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but after seeing the warning sign on the carriage prohibiting smoking, Cao Zhen did not ask for trouble.

When traveling alone, you must first ensure that you can reach Xinjiang smoothly.

His eyes fell on the apples in the plastic bag, Cao Zhen took out one, went to the sink next to him to wash it, and began to gnaw on the apples with water.

As soon as he took two bites, he stopped his movements, looked at the apple, still had the flesh in his mouth, and muttered indistinctly: ", this apple is so sweet and delicious." ”

He took two more bites, only to notice that the flesh was getting deeper and brighter.

Thinking that there were still a lot of apples in the suitcase, he felt that he really didn't have to worry about eating this trip, Cao Shujie was right, so he ate it as a meal.

While he was eating, another person came in his box.

He looks a little fat, but he is not very old, under 35, and he carries a black canvas bag in his hand.

After he came in, he nodded and smiled at Cao Zhen, who was eating apples, and then walked to the soft sleeper opposite Cao Zhen, put the bag on the ground, he subconsciously inhaled a few times with his nose, and heard a crisp sound in his ears, turned around, and his eyes fell on the apple in Cao Zhen's hand.

Seeing that Cao Zhen was eating, he asked embarrassedly: "Brother, excuse me, where did you buy this apple you ate?" ”

Cao Zhen was stunned, he looked at the person opposite, and then pointed to the apple in his hand: "You are asking this?" ”

"Yes." Zuo Le, who was a little fatter, nodded: "I smell the fruity fragrance of your apple, and the sound of eating apples is also very crisp, looking at the color of the pulp, the sugar content should be very sufficient, and the appearance is also very beautiful, this apple is really a good variety." ”

"Oh, this big brother is still an expert." Cao Zhen shook his head, he didn't feel embarrassed, and said: "I don't understand what you said, my apple was given to me by my buddy, and he grows fruit." ”

After the words fell, Cao Zhen picked out the largest and best-looking apple from the bag next to him and handed it to Zuo Le: "Big brother, you can taste it, this is the apple my buddy planted." ”

"Oops, that's embarrassing." Zuo Le waved his hand and refused twice, and was finally forced into his hand by Cao Zhen.

"Then you're welcome." Zuo Le took the apple, he smiled brightly, and he was very satisfied, and then said: "My name is Zuo Le, and I am a fruit seller who wanders around. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Le bent down to open his bag, took out a few kiwi fruits and apples from it, pushed them to Cao Zhen, and said: "This is a sample I bought from many places, I think it tastes good, and I am going to come and collect it next year, brother, you can also taste it." ”

While introducing Cao Zhen, he first peeled off a soft kiwifruit, peeled off the skin and swallowed it in one gulp: "It's very sweet, you taste it." ”

Then he took another apple, wiped it on his body, and ate it with a click.

This behavior is also telling Cao Zhen that there is no problem with these fruits of his.

After all, there is a bit of chaos on the train these years, with countless people stealing mobile phone wallets by cutting their pants with blades, stealing valuables in suitcases, and stealing other things.

Cao Zhen also understands this truth, and when he looks at his eyes, he feels that Zuo Le is not the kind of person who plays tricks.

He took a kiwi and looked at it, and said, "Brother Zuo, my surname is Cao, and you specialize in collecting fruits." ”

Zuo Le nodded: "Yes, I travel all year round, mainly collecting high-quality fruits." ”

This time Cao Zhen understood, he peeled off the skin of the kiwi in his hand and took a bite of the yellow-green flesh and tasted it slowly, and then said: "Brother Zuo, I have seen a kiwi that is bigger and sweeter than you. ”

"Oh, where?" Zuo Le is interested.

Then I heard Cao Zhen say: "It was planted by my friend, but the kiwifruit over there has been picked, and now there are only two acres of apples left before the trees have fallen." ”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the apple that he had just handed to Zuo Le and said, "The apple I just ate was planted by my friend, and he was just about to get off the tree." ”

"He hasn't gotten off the tree yet?" Zuo Le felt that something was wrong.

Cao Zhen nodded: "He grows naturally, there is no bagging, and it is cooked slowly." ”

——

Zuo Le took the apple and took a bite, and the expression on his face changed slightly the next moment, and then after taking two bites in a row, he said, "This apple is really delicious, why is it so sweet." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Cao Zhen and asked him, "Brother Cao, where does your friend grow fruits?" Can you give me an address? ”

"I don't care, but it's useless for you to go, he only has two acres of apples left now, and he has a few thousand catties when he is full."

"That's fine, I'll talk to him." Zuo Le said.

Cao Zhen thought about it for a while, and then told Zuo Le Cao Shujie's contact information and the address of his orchard.

Then in front of Zuo Le, he called Cao Shujie: "Shujie, I met a friend on the train, he specializes in collecting high-quality fruits, and now people have taken a fancy to your apples, do you sell them?" ”

"I have a total of a few thousand catties of apples here, and I don't plan to ship them all." Cao Shujie said on the phone.

Cao Zhen didn't have the heart to hear him say this, he said: "I'll call this friend, and you can talk about the rest, I won't care, bye." ”

After hanging up the phone, he also turned the phone out, let Zuo Le take a look, and said: "Look, he is such a stinky temper, and he still says something wrong with takeout, it seems that he grows it delicious?" ”

Zuo Le didn't care about this, he knew that some capable people did have tempers.

Thinking of another thing, Zuo Le asked, "Brother Cao, you just said that your friend's kiwifruit was picked and sold?" ”

"Yes, the picking price is 28 yuan a catty, and others are willing to go to him, Brother Zuo, do you tell me that these people are crazy, they really treat money as waste paper." Cao Zhen complained.

But Zuo Le's heart went when he heard it, his eyebrows were twisted together, and he suddenly asked: "Brother Cao, how much did you just say that your friend's kiwifruit picking price is a catty?" ”

"28 yuan, my cousin also went to pick 40 catties in two times, I can't understand it anyway." Cao Zhen said.

It was only later that he found out that his cousin had bought so much.

Fortunately, Cao Shujie gave his cousin the greatest discount.

"It's not the most expensive." Zuo Le shook his head and said.

"Brother Cao, there are too many things in this world that you seem to be outrageous."

When Cao Zhen heard him say this, he immediately quieted down and listened to Zuo Le share it with him.

Then I heard Zuo Le say: "I have been looking for high-quality fruits for so many years, and I have seen something more outrageous than this price." ”

Zuo Le stretched out five fingers and asked, "Brother Cao, have you ever heard that kiwifruit sells for 50 yuan a catty?" ”

"I also went to a place where she sold kiwifruit for 10 yuan a piece, but there were still many people rushing to buy it."

Before Cao Zhen could exclaim, Zuo Le continued: "But this is not the most outrageous, I remember meeting a kiwifruit exporter, he specializes in selling a kiwifruit variety, 120 yuan a catty." ”

"If the fruit is really delicious, there are many people who are willing to pay for it." Zuo Le sighed: "But it's a pity, many people in this society are too impetuous now, and they can't settle down at all and grow good fruits in a down-to-earth manner." ”

These words made Cao Zhen have a different view of Zuo Le, the more the two chatted, the more engaged they became, Cao Zhen knew that Zuo Le was going to Xinjiang to see a new Apple that had just appeared on the market, and he wanted to see if he could get a batch of high-quality goods back from there.

With the apple Cao Zhen gave him just now, he took a few bites just now, Zuo Le continued to eat, but the more he ate, the more he felt wrong.

The apple that Cao Zhen gave him was very sweet in itself, but the more he ate it, the sweeter it became, and the water was still sufficient.

Zuo Le took a big bite and looked at the apple carefully, only then did he realize that the closer he got to the core, the flesh around it showed an almost transparent bright yellow, and the part of this circle of different colors was an irregular circle.

He remembered some sayings, and was stunned at the time: "Brother Cao, the apple you gave me is a new variety of rock candy apple?" ”

"Uh, what a rock candy apple, this is the first time I've heard you say it today." Cao Zhen felt inexplicable.

As for what kind of variety Cao Shujie planted, Cao Zhen really couldn't say.

But he knew that these apple trees were inherited from Uncle Jianguo when he was young, and he had never heard that Uncle Jianguo had planted new ones.

Zuo Le felt incredible, and he asked in surprise: "Brother Cao, you don't know?" ”

"What do I know?" Cao Zhen was even more confused.

Then I heard Zuo Le say: "This apple is very high in sugar, but your friend grows it and some of the rumors I heard are still different." ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Le thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I can't go to Xinjiang today, I want to get off at the station in front of me and visit this friend of yours first." ”

Cao Zhen never expected someone to be so persistent, he said: "Brother Zuo, don't worry, my friend is in Caojiazhuang, it's okay if you go in the future." ”

"That's not good, you just called your friend, and he also said that these apples may not be sold out at any time, if I go late, I won't even be able to get a hair at that time, and Xinjiang won't be able to run, I have to go to your friend's place first." Zuo Le said.

Zuo Le's execution is very strong, just do what he says, half an hour later, the train arrived at the next small station, and he got off the train directly with his bag.

When passing by the window of Cao Zhen's soft sleeper, he also waved his hand at Cao Zhen and said goodbye.

"it!"

Cao Zhen had a feeling of seeing a ghost at this moment, even though he was well-informed, he didn't expect to meet this kind of person on the way to Xinjiang.

He pondered not to call Cao Shujie and let him go to hell too.

Thinking of this, Cao Zheng was lying on the soft sleeper, touched an apple again, clicked and gnawed, and after gnawing half of it, he put the flesh in front of his eyes and looked carefully at the bright yellow circle in the middle, he muttered in his heart: "Lao Zuo don't say, I really didn't pay attention, this color is so beautiful, that dog thing grows ginseng fruit, right?" ”

……

After returning from Yiling City, Cao Shujie drove to the five-star department store in Pingyuan County to pick up his wife and children, and then drove towards Caojiazhuang.

On the way, Cheng Xiaolin also asked him about sending Cao Zhen to the train station.

Cao Shujie said: "I don't know how long it will take for this grandson to come back......"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaolin said: "I didn't say anything else, you don't have to say so much." ”

"Husband, seriously, I'm a little envious that you have such a good friend." Cheng Xiaolin's eyes showed envy.

"Don't you also have two very good girlfriends." Cao Shujie said.

His wife often called her two best friends.

But Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband mention this matter and said: "It's too far away, that is, occasionally make a phone call to chat, and after a long time, there will be fewer and fewer contacts." ”

"Hey, wife, you're pretty good, you talk a lot." Cao Shujie praised her and diverted her attention.

Meng Meng has been very unstable in the back seat, and her buttocks are like springs, just moved to this side to lie down, and after a while, she lay on her mother's lap.

All the way back to Caojiazhuang, as soon as the car stopped at the gate, Cao Shujie saw his mother come out of the house.

"Mengmeng, are you back?" Wang Yuelan shouted.

Mengmeng began to shout 'grandma' loudly in the car, and when Wang Yuelan helped her open the back door, Mengmeng threw herself directly into her grandmother's arms from the car: "Grandma, I miss you." ”

"You little ghost, I don't believe it!" Wang Yuelan said this, but the smile on her face was very bright.

Cheng Xiaolin opened the door from the other side, she looked at her daughter's performance, and couldn't help but want to laugh, this Nizi is too shrewd, don't look at her age, but she has learned the ability to see people and talk about people, and she coaxed her grandfather and grandmother to treat her as a treasure.

"Mom, you've been waiting at home?" Cao Shujie asked.

Wang Yuelan nodded: "Since you left in the morning, I have been waiting for you to come back." ”

"It's all right." Cao Shujie muttered, and after being glared at by his wife, he shut up directly.

He said, "Mom, you wait at home first, and I'll go to the orchard on the mountain to see how the construction is going." ”

"There you go." Wang Yuelan's mind is all on her granddaughter, and she doesn't care about her son at all.

Cao Shujie was very helpless, he asked his mother: "Mom, did my sister call?" ”

"I called, she said that she wouldn't come back on the National Day, so she reviewed in school, saying that she was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination for something......"

"Graduate student." Cao Shujie said.

Wang Yuelan didn't look back and said: "Yes, yes, it is a research monk." ”

"Why is Fangfang working hard at this time?" Cao Shujie couldn't figure it out, he wondered if his sister was emotionally stimulated?

But it's not right, I haven't heard his sister talk about finding a partner.

"Oh, oh"

"Oh woo!"

Daha and Erha saw that Cao Shujie was going out again, and the dog brothers hurriedly barked a few times to attract Cao Shujie's attention, and when they saw Cao Shujie turn around, they barked even more vigorously.

Cao Shujie also asked them: "You two also want to go out?" ”

Not to mention the two of them, even the two little German pastors also want to go out, who likes to be locked up at home all the time!

There is one more chapter in the evening
