Chapter 14 Grape Picking
"What a mystical method, tell me quickly!"
"That's it, what's the appetite!"
Seeing that the appetite of the people was enough, the person who spoke earlier pretended to be mysterious, "Some time ago, the old man from the Liu family fell off the mountain and was sent to the town's medical center. After the funeral, the old lady of the Liu family was crying! Liu Dali begged the doctor to break her head, and the doctor said that he was incompetent. Guess what happened next? , I don't know what I did when I climbed into the ox cart, hey! Old man Liu actually lived!
And that Liu Er, who came to open the river with the people from their village that night, and the Dafu family personally opened the scoop for him. Is the injury serious? Dafu was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay at home for three days for fear that people would come to seek revenge! Guess what happened this time? I drank a cup of water poured by their little baby, and went to the ground the next day, as if nothing happened! …”
The cadence of these words made the villagers of Downhill Village stunned for a while.
The village chief An Cai looked at the festive harvest over there, his face was gloomy and dark.
Similar conversations were staged one by one in many residential courtyards in Xinghua Village.
A rumor about the blessing baby is like a whirlwind, quickly sweeping through Xinghua Village and surrounding villages.
Liu Yusheng knew nothing about it.
Loads of golden rice were picked home and piled up in the yard, and she was very happy when she saw the smiling faces of her family members.
"This year's grain is nearly 10% more than in previous years! After paying the taxes, the rest is enough for our family to eat for a year!" He reached out and grabbed a handful of rice that slipped through his fingers, looking at the hill-like piles of rice. Grain, Mr. Liu has a smile on his face.
"Father, I'm so happy today, can I make a pot of wine?" Liu Er licked his face and came over.
Before Mr. Liu could speak, Mrs. Liu slapped her and called out, "What wine are you drinking, what's the matter with you and your father? If you are not healthy, you are thinking about drinking, and you are not allowed to drink!"
Yes, Lafayette speaks, there is no drama.
Liu Da smiled and said, "Don't think about the wine. After the farming season is over, I can have some free time. I remember that there is a wild grape forest in the back mountain of Xinghualing. It should be ripe by now. I'll go pick some with me tomorrow and give it to my children. They beat their teeth."
"Picking grapes! Dad, I'll go with you tomorrow too!" Liu Zhixia, who was squatting beside the grain pile and playing sand castles, stuck her head out, her eyes bright.
Not to be outdone, Liu Zhiqiu sucked in his saliva, "I'm going too!"
"One or two gluttons," Liu Er scolded with a smile, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow! Go early, go late and be picked up."
"Go, all of you, pick some more and come back for Nannan to taste. We Nannan have not eaten wild grapes, right?" Holding Liu Yusheng, Mrs. Liu lovingly scratched her little nose.
Liu Yusheng smiled and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, causing a lot of laughter.
"Mother, the millet at home still has to be dried, so I won't go with them, I'll leave it at home to help you dry the millet." Chen Xiulan sat at the entrance of the main room, watching the family happily, pursed her lips and smiled.
Du Juan also said, "I also stay at home to help, just let a few of them go to pick grapes."
"Then I..." Mr. Liu wanted to express his opinion, but Mrs. Liu gave Mrs. Liu a stare, "You are not allowed to go there, rest at home, and those with old arms and legs won't stop, you think you are still young!"
"..." A group of young people laughed secretly beside him, the old man was helpless, the dead old woman wouldn't give him any face.
Although Liu Yusheng didn't speak, her little brain turned fast. Grape forest, back mountain, mountain col... Maybe she could do something.
Early the next morning, Liu Daliu Er woke the two boys up and prepared to set off for the back mountain.
That piece of grape grove is an unowned land, anyone can pick it, if it is late, there will be no more.
Today, Liu Yusheng also got up very early, put on his own jacket, and let her mother comb two small tugs on her hair, soaring into the sky.
Like the dolls in the New Year's pictures, Bai Nen and cute.
Seeing that Liu Da and his party were about to go out with a basket on their backs, they rushed over and hugged his calf, "Father, nan, go!"
"Oh, let's not go, there are many little bugs in the woods that will bite people. Stay home and wait for your father to pick the grapes for you to eat, darling!" In the kitchen, I heard the voice of the little milk, Mrs. Liu. Immediately rushed out to stop.
not going? Well, she still has something to do.
Liu Yusheng looked up at Mrs. Liu, her small mouth deflated, and her big watery eyes immediately overflowed with water.
Against Xiao Wa'er, Mrs. Liu's strength could not be used at all, "Nan Nan, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the sun is still shining, so just leave it at home and wait..."
"Milk, nan, I want to go." She turned around and hugged Mrs. Liu's calf, blinking her wet eyes, shaking and shaking.
"...Go! Grandma will go with you! Xiulan, take out another basket. I remember there was a very small vegetable basket in the kitchen, and I brought it out and brought it to Nannan!"
Everyone who didn't have a chance to speak the whole process, "..."
For Shang Nan Nan, even if it is Lafayette, the principle has become unprincipled.
In the end, most of the family went.
Mr. Liu, who was ordered to stay at home to rest and recuperate, squatted at the door of the house, pitifully watching the old lady drag her family and lead her family farther and farther.
Xinghua Ridge is in the east of the village. The ridge is not very high. There are verdant trees, pine trees, red maples, and many shrubs. At first glance, the colors of blue, red, green and yellow are intertwined, like a natural picture. Colorful tapestry.
The path to the back mountain passes around the foot of Xinghualing, walking in the middle, the nose is filled with the fragrance of grass, wood and soil, the ears are occasionally chirping of birds and insects, and the top of the head is the morning sun leaking through the gaps in the shade of the trees. wisps of golden light.
Being in it, Liu Yusheng only felt that his heart was jumping with joy.
Around the back hill is the Col, a large piece of grape vines grows on the shrubs, the purple-black wild grapes falling among the green leaves are half hidden, and the air is full of fruit fragrance.
"Fortunately, it came early, no one! It seems that we are the first batch to come here, so we have to pick them quickly! I guess someone will come to grab it after a while!" Liu Erlin said, rushing into the grape grove, moving Quickly, clusters of tight and beautiful grapes were thrown into the basket.
The two boys were the most excited, and they didn't care about picking them at all. Their little claws grabbed the grapes and stuffed them into their mouths, took a bite, and the grape juice splashed in their mouths.
"Oh! It's so sweet! Pick a big one and give it to Nannan to taste!"
"Wait, wait, these grapes haven't been washed, wait a minute, my brother will peel it for you before eating!"
After tasting it, I scrambled to feed my sister.
"Ah hoo!" Liu Yusheng's brows and eyes were as moon-like as he opened his mouth to eat the very unbeautiful grapes that his brothers peeled.
Cleanliness addiction, she hasn't had an episode in this house for a long time.
Liu Dalin smiled and rubbed the heads of the two boys, "You take care of your sister, father and uncle go to pick grapes!"
"Nan, I'm watching, you all go to play, it's rare to come out this time, don't hold back." Mrs. Liu waved her hand and picked up the small vegetable basket specially brought for her, "Nan, go, grandma will take you to pick it up too. , let's have fun today!"
