Gao Mingcheng drove the car all the way to Gaojia Village, and then parked under the shade of a tree next to the house in Niuweiling.

"It's here, let's get out of the car! This is my house in the village, and if you want to go further to the orchard. ”

Gao Mingcheng jumped out of the car and introduced the nearby environment to everyone in a hearty tone.

Although he has a wife and children, he is actually about the same age as Gao Yue, Gao Yue is a few months younger than him, and Gao Yue's classmates are about the same age.

They are all the same age, and they are easier to get along with, and they don't need to be called by their brothers and younger brothers, just call them by their names.

As soon as Gao Mingcheng got out of the car, the black tiger elves and other dogs came from a distance and gathered in front of Gao Mingcheng.

I haven't seen it for a few days, the black tiger enthusiastically circled around Gao Mingcheng, and the elf put its forelimbs on Gao Mingcheng's legs, it straightened up, looking half as tall as Gao Mingcheng.

The two dogs ran in front, and Rhubarb and Rhubarb's two cubs followed.

It is said that it is a puddle, but it is actually very large, and after the coat color grows, it looks black, only a small piece of pale yellow hair on the chest.

These two puppies already have names, Gao Mingcheng has made many beauties take them, many beauties have really thought of a lot of names, and the last ones to be called out are the two vulgar names of big black and little black!

When I asked her why, the reason was that these two names were easy to call and remember.

Well, it's quite catchy.

Seeing five big dogs gathered around, Song Xiaoxiao and Zhao Jing and the two girls hid behind a little scared, but Gao Yue was not afraid, and even greeted the elves.

The elf was given to Gao Mingcheng by Gao Yue, and later Gao Yue also came to live here, so the elf still remembered him, and the black tiger did not grin at him.

Xu is that these people were brought by Gao Mingcheng, so the dogs did not bark fiercely, and they looked very easy to get along with.

Gao Mingcheng introduced his dog to Lin Ye and the others, and said, "Don't worry, the black tigers are very smart and won't bite people indiscriminately." ”

It's true that black tigers have hardly ever bitten anyone, but if you think that these dogs are nothing to fear, you are wrong.

If it weren't for these good dogs, whether Gao Mingcheng's chicken coop built at the foot of Xiaofushan Mountain would be safe and sound, it is still unknown!

There are many beasts in the mountains, even if the chicken coop is fenced, it can break in, in addition to running on the ground, there are also flying in the sky, once Chen Dasong almost caught an eagle.

The eagle swooped down to catch the chicks, but fortunately the hen with the cubs reacted quickly and quickly ran into the coop, and the eagle chased after it, but because the coop was low, it could not play to its advantages.

Chen Dasong saw it from a distance, and wanted to go over to fight the eagle, and several dogs also barked, trying to round up the eagle, but unfortunately, the eagle still found an opportunity to fly away from the open door at a critical time.

But with this little episode, the frequency of falconry hunting chickens is not high after that.

"Let's put the vegetables at home first, then take the bamboo basket, and I'll take you into the mountains to pick fruits!" Gao Mingcheng patted the black tiger's dog head, motioned for it to get out of the way, and then led Gao Yue and them to put down the things they brought first.

In the utility room, there are more than a dozen bamboo baskets, all of which are woven by Chen Dasong and Zhang Chengyuan in their spare time, and Gao Mingcheng spent money to buy them.

These bamboo baskets are big and small, Song Xiaoxiao and Zhao Jing and the two girls hurriedly took two smaller bamboo baskets, and Lin Ye and other boys took big bamboo baskets.

Out of the courtyard gate, as far as the eye can see, there are mountains on three sides, and the other side is wide, the nearest place is the land that has been opened up, and the far part is the large reservoir connected to Gaojia Village and Shangfeng Village.

Gao Mingcheng pointed to the land that was cleared out of the wasteland and introduced it to everyone: "These lands were all opened up by me before, and now I have invited my brother to farm for me, my brother's farming skills are good, you see, these vegetables grow very well!" Whatever you want to eat later, just pick it! ”

"Well, that piece of land is planted with watermelons and muskmelons, and we'll go over and have a look at this when we come down from the orchard."

"There is a pond in front of it, fish are raised, and lotus roots have been planted this year, and now they are still blooming and starting to grow lotus flowers!"

"Over there, I built a shed, usually put farm tools, bamboo baskets, fertilizer, etc., and in the winter, I pulled plastic sheets around and moved the beehives in, oh, I raised more than 40 boxes of bees, but now the beehives are placed in another place. Today is not the time to shake honey, so I won't take you to see it. ”

"On the side of Niuwei Ridge, a chicken coop was built and more than 100 local chickens were raised. If you want to pick up eggs, you can go and have a look later. ”

Gao Mingcheng walked and introduced, Gao Yue was fine, he had been here a few times before, but Lin Ye and the others came here for the first time, and they couldn't help but look around, and they had a feeling that they couldn't see it.

On the pond, the breeze blows, the green lotus leaves sway with the wind, and the lotus flowers hide among the green leaves, blooming wantonly in the sun.

Occasionally, dragonflies skim over the water, and frogs lie on lotus leaves, making a croaking sound from time to time.

There are also a few ducks floating on the water, swimming leisurely, and occasionally probing into the water, as if catching small fish and shrimp.

The scenery is beautiful, and the mountains and wilderness are leisurely.

The whole Xiaofushan was once surrounded by Gao Mingcheng with barbed wire, but the barbed wire is easy to rust after the wind and rain, and the vines and plants around it are also easy to cling to it, and over time, the barbed wire is easy to lodging.

Although it has not yet collapsed, the entire barbed wire fence has been covered with green vines.

These vine plants include golden cherry blossoms and honeysuckles specially planted by Gao Mingcheng, but more are unknown vegetation.

Gao Mingcheng opened the reserved mountain gate and beckoned everyone to enter the mountain.

Xiaofu Mountain covers an area of 300 acres, and the whole mountain is a square hill package, which is the most suitable hill for contracting and planting among all the hills in Gaojia Village.

The mountain is artificially dug out of layers of terraces, but compared to the terraces used to grow grain, the terraces here are not so standardized, but a little regular, so that it is convenient to plant trees and easy for people to pick.

From a distance, it does look like a terraced field, each layer, there is a row of fruit trees, each kind of fruit trees, is planted a large area, from a distance, different fruit trees, showing different styles.

The whole of Kofuyama, like a huge canvas, has been painted in different colors.

But when people walk in the mountains, if they look around, they can only see the scenery around them.

Gao Mingcheng led them to the peach grove and pear grove.

The peach trees have not yet grown very tall, and there is not much fruit on them, but there are more than a dozen, and only three or four less.

Because the tree is not tall, it is convenient for people to pick, and you can pick the peaches with your hand at will.

Gao Mingcheng looked at these peaches and felt that if he picked them again today, he would be able to pick them all.

So he said, "There are not many peaches left, let's try to pick them all today!" ”

Gao Mingcheng also took a large bamboo basket himself, and in order to take care of other people, he deliberately picked a position with a steep slope or a high tree.

When Gao Mingcheng was busy picking peaches, the others also dispersed, Gao Yue picked one of the reddest peaches, wiped it on his clothes at will, and ate it with a click.

Although Gao Yue has been here a few times, it is also the first time he has come to pick fruits, and when he came back before, the fruit trees were still bare.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, but in just half an hour, all the remaining peaches in this peach forest were picked.

Gao Mingcheng was very happy, and took them to pick pears again.

At this time, the cuiguan pear and the huanghua pear are already ripe, and when they are hung on the tree, they look greenish in color, but when you bite into it, the pear flesh inside is watery and sweet.

Gao Mingcheng is very satisfied with his batch of fruit trees, basically there is no stepping on the pit, they are all fruit trees of excellent varieties.

The pears are picked ripely, and some of them are small and long in the shade, so they are left for the time being, and when they are picked in a few days, the taste will be much better.

The July sun is pouring down enthusiastically, and the people who are basking in the sun are sweating. However, this group of college students living in the county town did not realize it, and still felt the joy of picking fruits.

It wasn't until all the baskets were full and they needed to be carried with both hands that everyone realized that they couldn't pick them anymore.

"It's almost done, let's go down the mountain first!" Gao Mingcheng easily carried a basket of fruits, ready to take them down the mountain first.

He walked in front and specially picked the path to walk, but the mountain road was still a little difficult for Lin Ye and them, especially when they were carrying a basket full of fruits.

The ancients said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down.

When I went up the mountain, I had good physical strength and was full of anticipation for the upcoming picking activities, so I didn't feel tired at all.

But when you go down the mountain, you have already consumed a lot of physical strength, and you still need to carry weights, so you will naturally feel difficult.

Gao Mingcheng had no choice but to let them walk and rest, and go down the mountain all the way.

Among all the people, only Gao Yue's physical fitness is better and can keep up with Gao Mingcheng's speed, but this is also the case of Gao Mingcheng deliberately slowing down, if Gao Mingcheng pulls Gao Yue to climb Niuwei Ridge, then Gao Mingcheng climbs to the top of the mountain, and it is estimated that Gao Yue is still working hard halfway up the mountain!

After descending the mountain, everyone was in no hurry to go home, and it would take a few minutes to walk from here to home!

Fortunately, a shed was built at the foot of the mountain, and at this moment, this shed showed its advantages!

"It's hot! Let's take a dip in the shade first! Zhao Jinghe ran to the bottom of the shed in three or two steps, and the cool air on her face made her feel like she had finally come to life.

Xiaofushan is planted with fruit trees, and they are all fruit trees that have only been planted for three or four years, and each tree is not too tall for people to hide from the shade.

The scorching sun scorched on the skin, stinging and stinging.

Zhao Jinghe was wearing a straw hat, but he still had a feeling of being sunburned, and when the sweat flowed down, the small wound on his hand cut by the weeds also had a tingling feeling.

Whew, she took off her straw hat, only to feel that her head instantly cooled down a few degrees.

"It's too hot!"

"Yes, the sun is so big today, it's so sunny!"

"It's the first time I've gone to the mountains to pick fruit, I didn't expect to be so tired, I feel my arms are sore."

"I shouldn't have worn sandals! I felt like I had several small cuts on my ankle from thatch! It's itchy and painful! ”

"I'm fine, I'm wearing sneakers!"

Everyone stood under the cool shed, talking in a few words. Although there were slight complaints about the weather and the environment, the overall look was pleasant.

Lin Ye looked at Gao Mingcheng and asked curiously, "You have planted so many fruit trees, it is really amazing!" But it's also hard, right? Just picking fruits, I was very tired. ”

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "This is what we picked and ate ourselves, if we pick it to sell, then we have to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning and go into the mountains to pick it." Before the sun hits, the fruits of the day are picked and sent to the county to be sold. ”

"My fruit trees have only been planted for a few years, and when the next year comes, they will bear more fruit, and then we will have to organize people to go into the mountains in the early morning to pick them."

"Since you are all tired, then you can rest here, and if you want to pick up eggs, let Gao Yue take you to pick them up." Gao Mingcheng patted Gao Yue on the shoulder and motioned for Gao Yue to take care of his friends.

"Where are you going?" Gao Yue asked curiously.

Gao Mingcheng said: "I'll pick a few watermelons and melons first, and go back to cool them with well water, and wait for them to be delicious." ”

Seeing that they were tired and almost ran out of strength, Gao Mingcheng simply went to pick watermelons by himself.

The watermelon field is some distance from here, a large watermelon has more than ten or twenty catties, and a small one has seven or eight catties, which may not be able to be moved by this group of college students.

Gao Mingcheng strode and soon walked away.

Lin Ye said enviously: "Gao Mingcheng's physical fitness is really good!" ”

"Yes, but it's really not easy to be a farmer, I've only been working for so long, and I'm already tired!"

"Mm-hmm, I think when school starts, I can study harder!"

"Haha."

The students laughed happily, and when they were almost rested, they took peaches and pears and walked towards the pond.

They were ready to wash it before eating.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the pond, I saw a duck suspected of pooping, and the duck poop sank directly into the water.

Seeing this scene, the college students' bodies stiffened, and they felt that they could no longer wash the fruits with this water and eat them!

Just as they were about to retreat, Song Xiaoxiao pointed to a duck and exclaimed, "Ah! It! It lays eggs! How does it lay eggs in the water? ”

Song Xiaoxiao knew that chickens would lay eggs in the chicken nest, and she had also picked up eggs, but she really didn't know that ducks would lay eggs in the water!

Gao Yue looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw that an egg was floating in the water, not yet completely sinking.

Seeing this, he immediately took off his shirt and shoes, and a fierce man plunged into the water and swam towards the duck eggs.

Soon, Gao Yue reached out and scooped up the duck egg.

He raised the duck egg in his hand and said, "Look! ”

"Awesome!" The people on the shore witnessed this scene and praised it one after another. (End of chapter)
