The unpruned chestnut tree is not very tall, more than three meters long, and the branches and leaves are crisscrossed, which looks disorganized, but in the eyes of the two of them, this tree looks very kind and beautiful.

Of course, what is even more beautiful is its fruit.

When I got closer, I saw that there were a lot of chestnuts on the ground, and although there were some on the trees, there were not many left.

"Pick up the underground first, the tree first, and then see if you can go up the tree and knock it down, if not, then come back tomorrow with a long pole."

For the next twenty minutes or so, the two of them kept picking chestnuts on the ground.

Because the weather was too dry, the chestnut shells with spikes on the ground were all cracked, and the two of them picked it up smoothly, just pick it up directly, and they didn't have to bother to open the shell at all.

However, Qin Xi found out, this chestnut picked up, it was very light, holding the chestnut and waving his arm, he could also hear the echo in the chestnut shell, obviously, the chestnut on the ground was dried, and it took a lot of effort to bite and eat it into the stomach.

Because it fell from the tree, until now, it has not rained, so the quality of the chestnut is also okay, there is no bubble damage, but the long worm is inevitable, this has to go back and pick slowly, now there is no time.

"Qin Xi, the chestnuts on the ground are finished, what should I do next?" Tang Ying asked.

Now the time is almost to the time agreed with Qin Jiang He Yuan, the time to gather, there is still half an hour, if they don't rush back, the two of them will have to stand at the fork and wait for them.

The two of them picked it up very carefully, because there were a lot of chestnut leaves on the ground, and occasionally there would be fish that slipped through the net and hid under these leaves, and it took a lot of time for the two to turn these leaves.

If they just picked up the chestnuts that were exposed, they were very fast, and they might not even be able to pick them up in less than ten minutes, but they had to turn over the leaves, and they had to look for them under the bushes in the corners and corners, so they naturally took more time.

"There are more than a dozen of them in the trees, but the location is tricky, let's come back tomorrow! Call my brother and them, if they were there, we would explore this ravine much faster. ”

"Here, maybe it can surprise us."

This unexplored ravine may be a treasure spot.

With this chestnut tree as the base, there may be something else to be gained.

"Alright, let's go!"

When walking back, Tang Ying was in front and Qin Xi was behind.

The chestnuts picked up by the two were almost the same, and they all looked like seven or eight catties, which was quite a lot.

Because of the delay, when they walked to the place where they were separated from Qin Jiang He Yuan, here, only the two of them were still waiting, and the others were gone.

If it weren't for the way here, they all said okay and went back together, the two of them might not have the patience to wait here all the time.

Today, because the weather is not bad, Qin Jiang and He Yuan's footsteps are faster than before, both of them have been waiting here for more than half an hour, and the others have been walking for a long time.

"Why are you here now?" He Yuan saw that they were carrying the basket behind their backs, and hurriedly went up to take the basket on Tang Ying's shoulder.

The moment I started, I felt like I was falling, and the things in this basket were quite weighty, and they had to weigh fifteen or sixteen pounds.

"Something happened temporarily, and it took a little time to delay, you must not have imagined what Qin Xi and I found." Tang Ying looked at He Yuan mysteriously and said.

Obviously, this is a question and answer question, and she wants He Yuan to guess.

"Wild onions?" He Yuan looked at the white wild onion under the back basket, and said uncertainly.

This answer is obvious, he doesn't know if it's right or not, and he doesn't know if Tang Ying wants this answer.

"It's not this, it's in the bag, guess what's in the sack?"

He Yuan scratched his ears and cheeks and said several things, but they were all ruthlessly denied by Tang Ying, and he was in a hurry, and he was itchy and curious!

At this time, Qin Jiang had already opened the bag and saw the chestnuts inside, but he didn't speak, just watched He Yuan scratch his head.

"Did you guess?" Tang Ying urged.

When He Yuan saw her like this, he understood her purpose: "Okay, you won, I can't guess." ”

When Tang Ying heard this, her eyes were about to narrow with a smile: "It's chestnuts, I found a chestnut tree with Qin Xi, and I picked up a lot of chestnuts, all of which were packed in sacks, and they had to weigh seven or eight pounds." ”

"You're lucky to find a wild chestnut tree, where did you find it?" Compared with the two of them, he and Qin Jiang completely belong to the two coolies who carry water.

"Even if it's over, I can't tell for a while, you can just follow the two of us tomorrow."

"It's a ditch, we haven't explored it yet, we found the chestnut tree, we picked the chestnuts, and then we came back, and we went back tomorrow, maybe we could find something else."

There are chestnut trees in Chenhui Village, but they are all private, planted in the afternoon in front of their own homes, without pesticides, pure natural and pollution-free, that is, the insects are terrible.

The four of them walked towards the village talking and laughing, and they were all in a good mood.

At noon, Qin Xi also cooked sweet chestnut porridge to drink, which was very delicious and won the unanimous praise of the other two family members.

During the lunch break, Qin Xi was still thinking about going to the ravine tomorrow, and after thinking about it, he fell asleep.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound that woke her up from her sleep.

Qin Xi sat at the head of the bed, leaning against the mud wall with her back through the mosquito net, looking out the window, she knew that there was another old man in the village.

This is already the eighth old man in Chen Hui Village this year, and the severe living environment makes those old people who are not in good health unable to hold on any longer.

In previous years, Chen Huicun walked up to five times a year, but most of them walked two or three a year.

Although the firecrackers are sounding, the sound is very short, and they are the kind of cheap small firecrackers.

When this happened, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up directly from the bed, put on her shoes and opened the door.

Qin Jiang was in the same situation as her, and she also came out, but neither of them was extroverted and didn't know the situation very well.

If Tang Ying was here, she didn't have to go out to ask, she would know whose old man went, after all, this old man did not die suddenly, but there was a process.

This old man can't get out of bed, and when she usually gossips with people, she knows it clearly.

"Do you know whose family it is?" Qin Jiang asked.

This kind of thing is a major event in the village, and soon, it will spread all over the village.

"I don't know, but Tang Ying definitely knows, I'll go find her."

Qin Xi said that he was going to go out, and Qin Jiang didn't want to stay at home alone, so he also locked the door and left.
