"We've just arrived, so we haven't picked up much." Zhu Hongxiu said with a smile.

After chatting with each other for a while, Commander Feng and Political Commissar Ma were responsible for taking bamboo poles to knock down the chestnuts from the trees, while the others were picking them up below.

Zhu Hongxiu asked Gu Yijia while picking it up: "Ai Fang is okay, right?" ”

"It's good, I'm no longer having morning sickness." Gu Yijia said with a smile.

Zhu Hongxiu said happily: "That's good!" In fact, Ai Fang's pregnancy was fine, her morning sickness was not as strong as others, and she was not too guilty. However, if she has anything she wants to eat, she still has to make it for her, otherwise she will be suffocated and uncomfortable. When it is a later stage, you can't eat too much, in case the fetus eats too much, and when you give birth, you are afraid that the adults and children will suffer......

She babbled and said, not only to the people around her, but also to Gu Yijia.

In her heart, Gu Yijia will also have children in the future, and these are all things from experience.

Gu Yijia nodded, although she had never given birth to a baby, she had seen many pregnant women, and she often heard some old people talk about precautions during pregnancy, and she felt that she was very experienced.

Just because she hasn't been born doesn't mean she hasn't been involved, she's also very authoritative.

Feng Rin is tall and has long legs and great strength, and every time the bamboo pole can hit the chestnuts at the highest point, and knock hard, like a rain of chestnuts, and the chestnuts and leaves fall down together.

Political Commissar Ma was beating on the other side, and he didn't knock as much or as fast as he did.

Baohua also said: "Uncle Ma, you can't do this, you don't have as many chestnuts falling here as my little uncle." ”

Political Commissar Ma was calm, "How can I compare with Lao Feng?" ”

If you compare yourself with the head of Feng, I am afraid that no matter how big your heart is, it will be worn away by him, and everyone will be compared to the dust.

Most of the fallen chestnuts are still covered with a layer of burrs, which have been cracked, and you only need to remove the brown chestnuts inside.

Gu Yijia picked up the chestnuts that had fallen on the ground, and those wrapped in burr balls did not touch them, but first stepped on them with his feet, and then picked them up.

After Feng Rin finished knocking, he came over to help her pick it up.

He was not afraid of the thorns, so he took them out one by one, threw them into the basket, and told her: "Don't touch these thorns, be careful of stinging your hands." ”

His daughter-in-law's hand was holding a pen, so white and tender, if she pricked her hand, she was afraid that it would really bleed.

Gu Yijia raised his head and smiled at him, and responded very obediently.

After picking up for more than half an hour, I have already picked up a back basket.

Except for Gu Yijia, who came to make up the numbers, everyone worked neatly, and the others also picked up a lot, and when the baskets were full, they put the bamboo poles up and put them on the chestnut tree, and when someone came over, they could use it to beat the chestnuts.

"Let's go, let's go pick wild mountain pears." Zhu Hongxiu said, "There is a bush of wild pears over there, which is small and the fruit is a little sour, but it is also delicious." ”

In these years, there are not many materials, and in the eyes of everyone, everything is delicious.

It's not that they don't pick, but they don't have to pick, and it's good to have something to eat in their mouths.

Zhu Hongxiu and Political Commissar Ma walked in front and walked with a group of children.

The children walked briskly, talking and laughing as they walked, and the children did not carry much, only half a basket of chestnuts, a scene of a bumper harvest.

Gu Yijia and Feng Rin walked behind, the back basket containing chestnuts was carried by Feng Rin, Gu Yijia had a kettle hanging on his body, and followed them empty-handed, quite leisurely.

When I came to the wild pear tree, there were also several sisters-in-law picking wild pears here.

When I saw them, I greeted them with a smile.

It is estimated that the wild pear tree is often frequented, and the pears in the lower places are all plucked, but no one picks them in the high places, and the wild pear looks really big and attractive in the sun.

Baohua and Sanhua circled around the wild pear trees around them, and found that there were no low pears for them to pick, so they could only look at the pears in the high places and sigh.

"I'm going up to the tree to pick it."

"Who's on it?"

"Uncle Ma, little uncle, do you want to go up the tree?" Baohua turned her head to look at the two big men.

Feng Rin said: "You stay under the tree, I'll go up and pick some." ”

Political Commissar Ma was not to be outdone, "Okay, then I'll go to another one." ”

Two big men climbed neatly up the tree, nimble like monkeys, and the children under the tree screamed, which was very strange.

They have only seen naughty children climb trees, and they rarely see adults climbing trees, but they didn't expect them to lose to those leather children at all.

Gu Yijia stood in the shade of the tree, looked at it, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law Hongxiu, do these soldiers also practice their tree-climbing skills?" ”

She thought that it was right for Regiment Commander Feng to climb trees, but she didn't expect Political Commissar Ma to climb trees so well.

Awesome, old iron!

Zhu Hongxiu couldn't help laughing, "I don't know about this." ”

Feng Rin and Political Commissar Ma climbed to the top of the mountain, picked off the big, fine wild pears on the branches that had not been picked, and threw them at the grassy area under the trees.

The children cheered and went to pick it up.

At the end of the pick-up, they wiped the outer skin with their clothes, took a bite, and then cried out, "Sweet! ”

The pear on the branch is not only a large fruit, but also moistened by the sun and rain, and the sweetness seems to be retained, and the taste is not so astringent, it is a sweet and sour taste, which is better than the taste of other wild pear.

Seeing them climb so high, Gu Yijia was a little frightened, and he glanced at them from time to time, fearing that they would accidentally fall down.

After picking the pears, Feng Rin and Commissar Ma came down from the tree.

Seeing them climb down, when they were three meters away from the ground, Feng Rin jumped down directly, and Gu Yijia only felt that his heart was about to jump out.

Fortunately, he landed smoothly and bent slightly when he landed, like a cheetah, with a graceful and smooth posture.

He walked up to Gu Yijia and took out two large and beautiful pears from his pocket and gave them to her.

Gu Yijia looked at him, silently took it, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." He touched her hair, and a rare smile appeared on his face, which looked sunny and handsome in the sun, and he was particularly good-looking.

Gu Yijia looked at him with sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but laugh along.

Political Commissar Ma distributed a few pears in his pocket to his three daughters, turned his head and saw the little couple, and couldn't help but sigh.

Who hasn't been young.

After picking the pears, the people did not stay long in the mountains and went back.

Back at the family's hospital, Gu Yijia and the family separated from the Ma political commissar and returned to their brother and sister-in-law's house with chestnuts and wild mountain pears on their backs.

When he entered the door, he saw Gu Mingcheng repairing the roof, and Chen Aifang was staring down and handing him something.

Seeing them come back, Chen Aifang smiled and said, "Come back, what did you go to pick?" ”

"Mom, there's chestnuts, and there's wild pear." Baohua happily ran over and handed over a big, good-looking wild pear, "This is what I specially left for my mother, and it is the most beautiful." ”

Chen Aifang smiled and accepted the filial piety of her daughters, told them to come in and drink water, and shouted to the rooftop: "Old Gu, let's get it again in the afternoon, let's make lunch first, everyone is hungry." ”

Gu Mingcheng responded.

Waiting for Gu Mingcheng to come down from the roof, Feng Rin said, "Give it to me, I'll get it." ”

Gu Mingcheng didn't shirk it, told him where he needed to repair, and then handed it over to him, he went to wash his hands, and went into the kitchen to make lunch.

Chen Aifang followed up to help.

Gu Yijia, Baoshan Baohua, and others poured out the chestnuts they had picked today, picked out some that had obviously been eaten by insects, and picked out a few wild pears, peeled off the skin, and cut them into pieces.

After doing this, Gu Yijia ran to the courtyard to look at the rooftop and asked, "Commander Feng, has it been repaired?" Come down and eat the fruit. ”

Feng Rin's voice came, "Wait a little longer." ”

Chen Aifang also packed some chestnuts to steam, which can be used as after-dinner snacks later.

Gu Yijia said with a lot of mouth: "Sister-in-law, I want to eat sugar chestnuts." ”

"What sugar chestnut?"

Baohua instantly pricked up her little ears, thinking that what she only asked her aunt to order must be delicious.

Gu Yijia explained how to make sugar chestnuts, and Chen Aifang was speechless when she heard this, steaming and peeling the shells, mixing the sugar and roasting it on the fire......

It's too much trouble, how much firewood and how much sugar do you have to consume?

"Mom, I want to eat too." Baohua said pitifully, listening to the little aunt's description, it felt so delicious.

Baoshan also looked over, and he didn't say he wanted to eat, but he looked like he wanted to eat too.

Chen Aifang only said: "Okay, okay, I'll steam it later, and you can peel the chestnuts." ”

Gu Yijia and Baohua smiled and said that there was no problem.

After waiting for the chestnuts to be peeled, Chen Aifang and Feng Rin finally peeled the chestnuts together, Baoshan went to help his father cook the fire, and Gu Yijia and Baohua went to the yard to pick vegetables to wash.

After lunch, the sugar chestnuts were also roasted.

Gu Yijia ate one, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, and it was wrapped in a layer of sugar on the outside, which was really delicious.

She took one and fed it to Captain Feng, "What's the matter?" Delicious, right? ”

Head Feng nodded silently, his daughter-in-law likes to eat, it must be delicious, nodding is right.

This fragrant, sweet and glutinous snack is very popular with children, and both Baoshan and Baohua like it.

Chen Aifang ate a few and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's just too wasted sugar." ”

Gu Yijia interjected, "It would be nice if there was osmanthus candy, osmanthus sugar chestnuts are even more delicious." ”

This remark caused Chen Aifang's squint, "You really know how to eat." ”

If it is really like the sister-in-law's way of eating, no amount of money is enough to eat, but fortunately, their family's conditions are well-off, and Jiajia herself will make money, otherwise this gluttonous appetite will only be able to think about whether she can eat it, and how uncomfortable it will be.

"There is no way, people are born in the world, eat, drink, Lazar, eat at the forefront, eat is the most important thing, and you can't eat too much." Gu Yijia smiled, not feeling that he was greedy at all.

Baohua nodded in agreement, feeling that the little aunt had really spoken to her heart.

Chen Aifang looked at the pair of aunts and nephews, and finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

After the National Day, Baoshan returned to school.

The weather is also starting to get cooler.

When the first autumn rain fell, the temperature plummeted that night, probably in the morning when the head of the Feng regiment left, Gu Yijia did not cover the quilt, and when he woke up at noon that day, he began to cough, which made the head of the Feng regiment feel like a great enemy.

Fortunately, there were only symptoms such as cough and runny nose, no fever, and no serious illness like in the spring.

It's just that Gu Yijia's cough hasn't gotten better for more than half a month, and a suppressed cough can be heard from time to time, and it's not serious, but it's just dragged on and not getting better.

Feng Rin went to the military hospital and asked Hu Lao to prescribe her a few pairs of medicines.
