Chapter 43 Let's pick sour dates together
I turned around in three steps and two times, and followed Ling Zongzhen into the grove, and the branches and leaves instantly became dense and difficult to walk.
"Hey, Fuhai, hurry up!" Ling Zongzhen didn't rush me in front of him, the two of us had already distanced themselves, nearly ten meters away.
"Well, here we are!" I responded, but I didn't see Fu Rong coming.
"Hey, so many sour dates!" After a while, I heard Ling Zongzhen in front of me shouting, "Come on!" Fuhai. ”
"Well, here we are!" I pushed through the denser and denser foliage, and if I was not careful, I would be scratched in the face by the branches, and oh, the trees by the river are too crazy to grow, all kinds of trees, and they are all in a mess, and they have not been repaired for at least a century.
Soon into a relatively sparse tree area, surrounded by mostly sour jujube trees, a bunch of sour jujube trees on the tree, purple red than a few days ago, it seems no longer so sour, I couldn't help but pick one and tasted it, well, it's really sweet, only a little sour, I like to eat sweets, and then I picked and ate several in succession, patronizing and eating, forgetting to pick.
"I didn't expect that there are so many sour dates left, if I come two days late, I'm afraid I won't pick them, you see that this oak tree has obviously been picked." Ling Zongzhen said while picking it, as if he hadn't eaten a single oak.
Seeing this, I was no longer embarrassed to eat and began to concentrate on picking oaks.
"Wow, Dad, you're so capable! Pick so many oaks. No, about five minutes later, Fu Rong also came over and shouted at the pile of sour dates spread on the ground.
"Hey, didn't you wait outside! Why did you get in? Ling Zongzhen, who was picking dates on the tree, looked down at Furong and said. I only pick sour dates below, we have high arms and long arms, and we can reach it with our hands, and we don't need to climb trees.
"That's it! You don't have to come in, it's hard to walk through the potholes. I leaned out from under the tree and said. I only pick sour dates below, we have high arms and long arms, and we can reach it with our hands, and we don't need to climb trees. I didn't mean it, and I waited for her to come.
"How can I stay, I'm so hungry, I only think about sour dates! Hee-hee-hee. Fu Rong said and raised her hand to pick a sour jujube from the branch and ate it, and asked me, "Hey, Fuhai, where are the sour jujubes you picked?" ”
"It's all here!" I immediately pointed to the bulging pockets on my clothes that were stuffed with sour dates.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee...... Fu Rong smiled and bent over, and asked, "Don't be gone, just like that?" ”
"Oh, isn't that less?" I touched my pocket and said, "My pocket is so big, I can pile it up into a mountain when I take it out, I don't believe it, I'll show you!" Saying that, I pretended to reach out and dig out my pocket, but Fu Rong immediately grabbed my hand and said, "I believe it, I absolutely believe it!" Hee-hee. ”
I suddenly remembered that Fu Rong had brought a plastic bag, so I asked her to take it out and put the sour dates in her pocket, and it was difficult to carry it on her body. I immediately took out all the jujube in my pocket and put it into a plastic bag, and it turned out that the upper half of the bag weighed several pounds.
"Hee-hee, the pockets look inconspicuous, but they can be fitted, like a cornucopia." Fu Rong smiled as she carried the bag.
Fu Rong came, I didn't have the heart to pick it off, I sat on the grass with Fu Rong and picked up the sour dates and ate them, and unconsciously ate a lot of sour dates, feeling that we were not here to pick sour dates, but to eat dates on the spot. If it weren't for the inconvenience of Fu Rong's legs, it would definitely not be like this.
"Hehe, it's almost, this piece is almost ready for us to pick up, and we can return with a full load today." Then, Ling Zongzhen climbed down the tree with sour dates in his pocket.
Only then did I realize that I was a little embarrassed to eat and not pick, so I immediately stood up with the bag and helped Ling Zongzhen put the sour dates in his pocket and filled the bag full.
Ling Zongzhen immediately wrapped the sour dates in his coat and carried them on his arms like a burden, walking ahead, I was holding a bag of sour dates in one hand and Fu Rong in the other, and the three of them walked out of the grove together.
Ling Zongzhen walked faster and faster, Fu Rong and I soon couldn't keep up, the distance was getting farther and farther, and I could barely see him. The two of us couldn't walk fast, I had to take care of Fu Rong No, she was on crutches, even if I supported her, she couldn't walk steadily, her body was crooked, and the center of gravity was almost all biased towards us, I didn't dare to relax for a moment, supporting her in all directions, for fear that she would fall, and her arm would inevitably touch the place where she shouldn't touch, and make some outrageous moves, fortunately, the dense branches and leaves blocked Ling Zongzhen's vision in front of her like a curtain, and this grove is well drilled today.
Before I knew it, I walked out of the grove. Ling Zongzhen had already come out and was sitting on the back seat of his bicycle smoking.
"Hehe, you two are slow enough! I smoked two bags of cigarettes. When Ling Zongzhen saw us coming out, he immediately stood up and smiled.
We laughed and said nothing, as if we had done something wrong, and embraced almost all the way through the grove today.
