Chapter 125 The Powerful Li Family

Looking at the pears in the basket, Bai Yunxi peeled two with a sickle, handed one to Ms. Li, and ate the other herself. It was sweet, crisp and juicy in one bite.

Sure enough, she was right. Fruits with sufficient light have high sugar content.

"How is it? Is it more delicious than the pears below?"

After eating a pear, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up.

"Mom, it's true. Pears grown on the same tree have different flavors. It's really strange."

In the past, they only picked the bottom ones. After tasting them, they didn't like them, so they thought all pears were the same.

I didn't expect that the ones on top and the ones on the bottom have different flavors. It's really weird.

"There is nothing surprising about this. The fruits above can get enough light. The more sunshine, the higher the sweetness. The fruits below are blocked by the shade of trees and cannot see the light. Over time, the size and taste will be much worse."

Li nodded in an educated manner,

"I see. I'll pick another basket and we can take it home to eat."

After saying that, he put the basket on his back and climbed up the tree again. His movements were as quick and flexible as a monkey. Baiyun Xi was amazed by the sight.

The children who grew up in the mountains are indeed extraordinary and have strong agility, but she is not good at it anyway. Not to mention climbing trees, even climbing stairs will make her gasp for breath.

After a while, two baskets full of pears were placed in front of Baiyunxi, and Mrs. Li smiled honestly and cutely.

Bai Yunxi took out the handkerchief and handed it to her,

"Wipe off your sweat, rest for a while, and then we'll go home. Tomorrow, we'll ask the two brothers to come together and pick all the pears from these two trees. If we can't finish them, we'll make autumn pear paste and take it to the town to exchange for money. , buy rations.

Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Ms. Li immediately became energetic.

"Is it like making sugar from beets?"

"almost,"

Bai Yunxi looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but laugh. This Li family is honest and cute. It's so good that the original owner chose this daughter-in-law for his second son.

A basket of pears weighed about forty or fifty kilograms. The two of them carried the basket down the mountain. Li's steps were brisk, but Baiyunxi was in great pain.

After a while I was out of breath, and couldn't move without stopping for a while.

"Mom, let me carry it." Seeing her mother-in-law breathing heavily, Mrs. Li was worried.

"It's okay, I just need to take a rest."

Mrs. Li was tired enough from climbing trees and picking fruits. She couldn't give up her picks, but she could still persevere.

Unfortunately, the idea was good, but her physical strength was limited. After resting for a while, she couldn't support her even after walking a short distance.

Moreover, there is also a feeling of lack of oxygen.

"Mom, I'll do it."

Seeing her mother-in-law's expression look bad, Mrs. Li directly picked up her basket and hung it on her chest, saying she wouldn't let Bai Yunxi carry it.

‘My mother-in-law’s face is pale. What if she gets sick from exhaustion? ’

This time Baiyunxi didn't show off, she really couldn't carry it anymore.

As she followed Li on foot, she felt her steps were a little shaky and her chest was sweating.

"Mom, how are you?" Mrs. Li walked a few steps and looked back at Baiyun Xi, for fear that she would collapse from exhaustion.

"I'm fine, I just can't walk fast. Just leave first. Don't worry. I'll have no problem walking slowly."

Bai Yunxi waved her hand, her family had really found a treasure, Li's strength was unmatched by ordinary men.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, looked at the basket on her body, and could not help, so she could only nod.

"Mom, please walk slowly. I will take the pears home and come to pick you up."

"Okay, go ahead."
