In those two years, most of the fruits on the trees were pecked by sparrows, and the villagers felt that they had the kung fu to take care of the fruit trees, and it was better to open an acre of wasteland to plant some beans or something, so they could resist hunger, so later the peach trees were either cut down, or no one took care of them, and all that could be picked were wild peaches, not sweet, not to say, and a little astringent.

This year's year is not good, the wild fruits on the mountains are not very good, even the county can only occasionally see the fruit sold.

The early-ripening peaches have just come out, and Ye Yunshu has only bought them once, and he really doesn't have the delicious taste given by Meng's.

"This was brought by Dandan and his aunt when they came back last year. Ye Mengshi smiled, "I don't know where I bought it, Yun Shu, you can take two more back in a while." ”

Ye Yunshu was embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, Grandma Meng, I'm just asking." ”

"What are you polite to Grandma Meng? Ye Mengshi said, took an empty small basket next to him, and began to pick up peaches, "Yun Shu, those zongzi that your Uncle Qing brought back last time, was Grandma Meng polite to you? Don't be polite to Grandma Meng, you know?"

Ye Meng's family said so, and Ye Yunshu couldn't refuse, so he could only nod, "Okay, Grandma Meng gave it, and the elders didn't dare to resign." ”

Ye Mengshi raised his eyes, "That's right!"

After picking up half a basket of peaches, there were more than a dozen, Ye Mengshi handed it to Ye Yunshu, "By the way, there are also plums, Yunshu, you wait, Grandma Meng will go and get it for you." ”

"No need, Grandma Meng. ”

"Don't be polite to grandma. ”

Ye Mengshi turned around and walked out of the house, Ye Yunshu followed two steps, and when he saw that he couldn't stop her, he just stopped.

Half of the peaches, half of the plums, one basket is clearly arranged.

"Grandma Meng, does Aunt Zheng grow fruits at home?"

When Ye Dan got married three years ago, Aunt Zheng Ye Yunshu saw him once, but now he has no impression, he only remembers that his surname is Zheng.

"yes. Ye Mengshi nodded, "Your Aunt Zheng's father is doing long-term work in the Zhuangzi of a large family, and the fruit planted in the Zhuangzi is not good this year and cannot be sold, so ah, this fruit will be distributed to the long-term workers." ”

Ye Mengshi said, and couldn't help sighing, "Because of this fruit, there is still a stone of grain missing, can the fruit be as expensive as grain?

At the beginning, she didn't think much of the Zheng family, that is, her daughter liked it and nodded.

Now that her daughter is not doing well, Ye Mengshi is naturally unhappy in her heart.

"I, I said that Aunt Dan would simply move to Taoshui Village with your Aunt Zheng, but they didn't want to, alas, ......"

Recently, the Ye family is recruiting workers again, Ye Mengshi feels that Zheng Bai also has the strength to do it, and his Dandan is also a diligent person, if he moves over, if the two of them can do things in the workshop, they can speak seven or eight hundred words a month, isn't it better than living over there facing the loess with their backs to the sky?

Ye Mengshi can also see that Ye Dan is a little excited, after all, seeing that Ye Qing now has one or two or five dollars a month in the workshop, can he not be moved?

But Zheng Bai was unwilling, so Ye Dan could only shake his head.

Ye Mengshi also understands that Zheng Bai is an only son, and there is only one Zheng Laohan in the family, Zheng Laohan is a long-term worker, and he lives in Zhuangzi all the year round.

Ye Mengshi was sighing for his daughter, and Ye Yunshu's brain was spinning rapidly.

"A stone of grain...... Did you get a lot of fruit from Aunt Zheng's house?"

"Not really. Ye Meng's eyebrows were shrouded in sorrow, "I heard Dandan say that there are five baskets of peaches and eight baskets of plums, and fruits are not food, so they can't be stored, and the family can't eat them, so they are scattered everywhere." ”

"Are there only these two kinds of fruit on the Zhuangzi?"

"Da Zhuangzi, two hectares of land, how can there be only two kinds of fruits, it seems that there are loquats, apricots, and persimmons. Ye Mengshi recalled, "But your Aunt Zheng's family will be divided into peaches and plums." ”

"Grandma Meng, when will Aunt Dan come back?"

Ye Mengshi was puzzled, "What's wrong?

Ye Yunshu nodded, "These peaches are very delicious, I want to buy some." ”

"What to buy, you like it, I'll let Uncle Qing go to Pengyuan County and pull two baskets back." It's worthless. ”

Anyway, it's rotten.

Ye Yunshu shook his head, "Grandma Meng, this year's fruits are cheap, I want to use the fruits to try to make something novel to eat." ”

Ye Mengshi was stunned for a moment, "I definitely have to come back on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, but ...... I'm afraid the fruit won't last for so many days. ”

"Then Grandma Meng, you can tell me the address of Aunt Dan's mother-in-law, and I will go and find it myself. ”

Ye Yunshu has an ox cart at home, it will indeed be much more convenient, Ye Mengshi thought about it and nodded, "Your Aunt Dan is in Hongyu Village, I will ask him to write a letter when the old man comes back in a while, can you help me bring it over?"

Although Ye Mengshi knows some words, he can't write, and the only ones who can write at home are Patriarch Ye and Ye Qing.

Ye Yunshu shook his head, "Okay, the patriarch grandpa has written it, and Ming'er will let Uncle Qing bring it to me." ”

Anyway, Ye Qing also has to go to the workshop every day, by the way.

In the evening, Patriarch Ye came back leisurely with a basket of eggs.

Ye Mengshi has been waiting and waiting since Ye Yunshu left, waiting for more than an hour, and when he saw that the old man had only come back at this time, he teased: "You haven't become a lizheng yet, and you started taking bribes?"

Patriarch Ye pouted, "What are you talking nonsense about this old woman." This was given by Zhengyong, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy this morning. ”

"It's all raw, so soon!" Lu was harvesting wheat in the yard and was shocked when he heard this.

She only saw Zhengyong's daughter-in-law last evening, and she didn't look like she was going to give birth at all, and it was only one day, and the child landed!

Ye Mengshi smiled: "It's the fourth child, can you not be happy?"

As he spoke, he looked at Patriarch Ye again, "There are four boys in his family, right?"

"Isn't it?" Patriarch Ye put the basket under the eaves, "I just want a girl, and give birth to a boy, and I can't do it for two people." ”

When Lu heard this, he lowered his head in shame and looked at his stomach.

Alas...... It's really holding on to death, starving to death, people don't want it, they don't want it!

Fortunately, the in-laws are sensible, otherwise their lives will not be able to go on, although the in-laws and father-in-law are not urging, but Lu himself is also very anxious.

Obviously, she and her husband have no health problems, why is this child so difficult?

Ye Mengshi looked at the eggs in the basket, and saw that two of them were red, and said with a smile: "This year is really better, this year is to send two red eggs, this year directly changed to a basket." ”

"That's me. Patriarch Ye was quite proud, "Other people's families are two. ”

"You're so beautiful!" Ye Mengshi pouted and smiled, "By the way, you can write a letter to Dandan later." ”

"What are you writing?" Patriarch Ye looked confused, "Didn't she come back the day before yesterday?"
