The third brother handed her one that took two or three bites, and said with a smile, "Hey~ try it out! I just ate it, it's pretty sweet!"
"The third brother has already climbed up and picked it?" Mai was surprised at his speed and took it over, "Is it sweet? Is it ripe enough to pick?"
However, Zhou Shan reminded: "Don't be fooled. He just told us that it was sweet, but he took two bites. Seeing that we didn't believe it, he couldn't eat it. Don't eat it, it might be sour!"
She knew the third brother's urination, and she thought Zhou Shan's words were more credible, so she gave his third brother a suspicious look.
"The third brother coaxes me?"
The third child rolled his eyes, "Ai believe it or not? If you don't believe it, pull it down, and I didn't force you to eat it."
"Then you eat all this, and I'll believe you!" Mai handed it back to him and stuffed it into his arms.
Others echoed, "Yeah, if you eat this whole thing, we'll believe you."
He stared and looked at the green apple in his arms. He didn't want to eat it, and it didn't matter if he didn't eat it. Finally, he snorted and threw it away.
Why bother yourself!
Shen Xiaojiu patted the third son on the shoulder, "I knew you were always bad, you must be lying, but luckily I didn't believe you and fell for you."
He rolled his eyes, everyone was so easy to cheat, and a little bit didn't want such a friend.
Zhou Shan looked at the tree covered with branches and muttered to himself, "I don't know when I'll be familiar with it? It looks so big."
"I'm also a little hungry..."
"It should be fine next month. When we first discovered it, it was in August, but at that time, many of the fruits were a little yellow, and they tasted waterless and powdery."
"I like to eat crunchy, juicy, crunchy sweet."
As soon as the old third said something, everyone licked their lips and swallowed without knowing it...
"So come back next month and we should be able to pick it up."
"It's definitely cooked next month, it's a bit astringent just now..."
Everyone's eyes are all looking at the third child.
"Finally admit it."
"Humph~"
Pei Xiu turned around and saw that the young saplings were thriving, and she was looking forward to the results in two or three years.
Going to the big tree again, listening to a few children, you and I discussed each and every word, and also made a sound.
"I'll send you over to pick them next month. After picking green apples, you can also dig potatoes."
Don't give up free labor for nothing, not to mention that these children are very interested in going up and down the mountain, which is a good thing.
"Okay, okay, we'll come back next month."
"It's almost time to go back. The grapes are already in the basket. If you still want to eat corn, you can go and pick a little later."
"No, auntie, there is also a lot of corn on Zhuangzi of Wangfu, and it started to be sent to Beijing yesterday." Zhou Shan said quickly.
Shen Xiaojiu blushed and said, "Auntie, I want to eat it. I'll pick a few later and bring it back to my father to taste."
Pei Xiu nodded with a smile, "Well, you're welcome, pick a little more, every year produces more crops, and more crops are planted every year."
"There are also people in our hometown, but they are relatively rare..."
After wandering around the mountain for a while, they came down, it was too hot.
Although he didn't go into the mountains to hunt, he was very satisfied, and one grape was enough to surprise everyone.
After jumping down the mountain, it was getting late, and Pei Xiu asked him to carry two baskets of grapes onto Zhou Shan's carriage, and asked him to send a basket to the East Palace.
Shen Xiaojiu only needed a basket of grapes and a basket of corn.
After sending them away, she instructed the kitchen to hurry up and punish the dinner, and she wanted the boss to eat dinner before leaving.
It has been half a year since the whole family gathered together for dinner.
"Brother, do you still have leave next?" The second brother asked while eating.
"I don't know. I haven't been in the military camp for a few days. I don't know if I can ask for leave on holidays."
Pei Xiu looked directly at Zhou Cheng, do you have a home? Can it be arranged? Doesn't this father know better?
Ordinary soldiers enlisted in the army, how can there be leave for you to go home?
But his daughter-in-law looked at him, why did he have to ask for it for a long time?
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll ask him for a half-day leave depending on the situation, and then I can only wait for the New Year to get another day's leave."
Pei Xiu nodded with satisfaction, it would be nice to come back every few months to take a look.
The sun is about to go down, even if you are reluctant to give up, the boss has to go back.
Before leaving, she specially instructed the kitchen to cook a basket of corn and a large basket of grapes for him to share with Huzi, and by the way, bring some early adopters to Fengfeng.
"Thank you mother, I heard that Hu Zi is going to kiss?"
"He told you?"
"I found out yesterday. He went back to Qiu's mansion yesterday, and when he came back, his eyes were red, and he told me something to thank Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu, so I asked."
"Well, he is the same age as Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi will get married at the end of the year. It is time for him to say that he will get married. Now that he is talking about his marriage, if it goes well, he will be able to get married after New Year's 18."
"Oh."
Pei Xiu carefully observed his expression and found that he didn't have any excited and envious expressions, so he asked directly, "What do you think?"
Zhou Yong jumped up in embarrassment and stared at his mother with wide eyes, "What do I have in mind? I don't have any ideas, I'm still young, mother!"
She smiled, "I know you are still young, so I just asked curiously. Even if you have an idea, I want to tell you so that you can be later."
"Well, I'm still young, I haven't grown up yet, I'm leaving, I'm in a hurry..."
He backed away as he spoke, then trotted out.
"Wait a while, bring your stuff first!"
He hurried in again, carried two baskets and ran again, hung the baskets on the horse's back, and climbed up with one flip.
Then he turned the horse's head, looked towards the door, and waved, "I'm leaving!"
The sound of hooves was getting farther and farther away, and Pei Xiu sighed softly and returned to the yard.
Zhou Cheng couldn't understand her mood~ He didn't think there was anything wrong with leaving home. This was training for the eldest son, and it was the only way to grow up.
So he didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he just kept silent.
On the vertical day, the three brothers and sisters got up early in the morning. They were thinking about going to pick grapes again. They were full without picking them yesterday, but they were caught by Zhou Cheng to practice in the morning, and they could only watch their mother alone. went to pick.
Wheat shouted: "Mother, you pick a little less and leave a little for us."
"understood."
She just wanted to take advantage of the early morning, when the sun didn't come out, to go shopping, use it as a morning exercise, and pick some by the way. After breakfast, they plan to go back to the city.
After a whole night of fermentation, she was really curious about the reactions of all parties in the capital!
This year, the grapes from Fanbang have not paid tribute yet.
