After receiving Wei Jianwei's gift, He Xiaoyun was slanderous, but couldn't help counting with her fingers.
So far, the other party has given her a book, a pair of shoes, and a silk scarf, but she only gave her an old book, which was bought with his money, which seems a bit unkind.
But she couldn't think of what to give for a while, go to the store to buy something, the money belongs to him, without her sincerity in it, if she didn't spend his money, her own pocket would be cleaner than her face.
She has been thinking about this question for a day or two. Fortunately, the photos from the photo studio have not been sent yet, so she is not in a hurry to reply to Wei Jianwei.
This morning, when she finished hunting pigweeds and was on the way back, she saw a peach tree in the yard of a family. The low-growing peaches had already been picked, and there were still a few on the top. The fluffy peaches were green and green. Fan, looks mouth watering.
He Xiaoyun suddenly remembered that once she and Wei Jianwei went up the mountain together, and saw one or two wild hair peaches in the forest on the top of the mountain. At that time, the small green peaches were only the size of a finger, and now they should be ripe, so I don’t know how many are left.
She immediately decided to try her luck, and said to Wang Chunhua after lunch, "Mom, I'm going up the mountain to pick some peaches, Xiaohang, please help me look."
"It's so hot, you want to eat peaches, I'll go to someone else's house and pick two for you, don't go up the mountain."
He Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "I want to pick more, dry some dried peaches and send them to Jianwei."
Wang Chunhua heard that it was for her son, and the young couple had a heart-to-heart exchange, so she couldn't say anything, so she just said: "Then be careful, if you don't have it, come back quickly."
"Okay." He Xiaoyun nodded in response, and set off with a straw hat and a pannier on her back.
In the summer afternoon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The overly bright sunlight almost made the vegetation on the ground a bit dazzling. The wind blowing was not only not refreshing, but rather dull.
He Xiaoyun looked up. Although there was no cloud in the sky at this time, there was likely to be a thunderstorm in the afternoon, so she quickened her pace.
After rushing all the way, she finally climbed to the top of the mountain, where the shade of the trees in the forest became the best shelter. She took off her straw hat and fanned the wind, and at the same time pushed aside the lush weeds, and found the two peach trees based on her memory.
Not surprisingly, the peach tree has already been patronized by people, and there are not many fruits left, and the quality is not very good. Fortunately, what she wants to do is dried peaches, and then she has to peel and slice them. It doesn't matter if the peaches look good or not.
She picked the peaches in the lowest row first, then climbed to the tree to pick the taller ones, and knocked the top ones down with a bamboo pole. After picking the two trees, the harvest turned out to be pretty good. It is estimated to be ten or twenty catties.
At this time, there were some dark clouds in the sky, and the sun hid behind the clouds, making the weather even hotter.
He Xiaoyun hurried down the mountain without stopping for a moment. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she was relieved when she saw her house and the little fat man playing in front of the door.
"Hanghang!" she yelled.
Wei Yuanhang looked up and saw her, and immediately ran over, "Mom! Mom!"
The chubby little body runs like a little penguin. He Xiaoyun looked amused, but just about to smile, there was a "bang" sound, and the bean-sized raindrops fell immediately, without any warning.
"..." The smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
She hurriedly ran home, shouting to Wei Yuanhang as she ran, "Go back quickly, don't come here!"
I don't know if the child heard or not, but he ran towards her with his head buried. He also tried to cover his head with his hands, but unfortunately his head was big and his hands were short, so he couldn't cover it no matter what.
The mother and son met halfway, and the little fat man happily called out to his mother. He Xiaoyun didn't know what to say, so she had to drag him and run wildly.
This distance is not too far, but the rain came quickly and violently. When they finally stepped into the house, they were already a big and a small two drowned chickens. , like a water curtain hole.
She looked at herself, and then at Wei Yuanhang. The little fat man didn't know why, so he also looked back and forth. The rain on his hair flicked back and forth with his movements, and he looked more and more like a chick shaking its feathers.
He Xiaoyun finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing her smile, Wei Yuanhang also grinned, "Hahahaha..."
When He Xiaoyun saw it, she couldn't stop laughing.
The mother and son stood under the eaves, all wet, hahaha facing the heavy rain outside.
Wang Chunhua came out when she heard the noise, and seeing their embarrassed and foolish looks, she was angry and funny: "Don't look at the rain, quickly wipe your hair with a towel, I'll boil the water, and you all take a bath in a while, you will catch a cold if you soak in the rain for a long time." of."
"Hey, good." He Xiaoyun put down the pannier and led Wei Yuanhang back to the room.
The rain in summer comes quickly and goes quickly. After the rain, the sky clears up. Although the sun comes out again, it is not as hot as before.
He Xiaoyun tidied up herself and her children, saved the changed clothes for the evening to wash, and went to deal with the picked peaches first.
Soak the peaches in salt water first, then pick them up, peel and cut them in half, remove the core, and put them in a clean basin. Feng Qiuyue also came to help, and cut the peeled peaches into slices.
Aunt Zhang brought her granddaughter to visit, and seeing the two of them busy, she asked, "What are you doing?"
"Dry some dried peaches for fun." He Xiaoyun said with a smile, seeing Yanyan approaching curiously, she gave her a piece of peach meat.
Feng Qiuyue said to Aunt Zhang: "Xiaoyun is not just doing it for fun, but picking peaches just for Jianwei, and she was soaked in the rain just now."
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she said cheerfully, "The young couple have a good relationship, why don't you join in the fun as a sister-in-law, you should let Xiaoyun work alone, otherwise why would Jianwei feel distressed?"
Feng Qiuyue also laughed, "Two days ago, Jianwei sent a few silk scarves back, and I was given Xiaoyun's favor, and I also got one. Isn't this a short hand?"
"What kind of silk scarf?" Aunt Zhang was curious.
"It's similar to a scarf, but it's very thin and the color is pretty. It's very fashionable in the city now, and my mother also has one."
Aunt Zhang went into the house and went to see Wang Chunhua to see the silk scarf.
"Here, that's it." Wang Chunhua took it out of the closet.
Aunt Zhang took it, carefully shook it away, looked at it, then touched it with her hands, and said, "It looks good, but it's so light and thin. I have thick hands and feet, and it snagged right away."
Wang Chunhua said: "Who says it's not? We are in the field every day, and we don't need it once a year."
"Listen to what you said, the child gave you something, and you gave it wrong? I haven't seen anyone wear this silk scarf in the team. When you are a guest for a drink, if you take it out, it will definitely make everyone greedy."
Wang Chunhua said: "I don't know my son? Filial piety is filial piety, but he is a big man, how can he understand these women's things? He used to give me money directly, and never bought any silk scarves or clothes. I probably wanted to give his wife away, and I was afraid that I would be overwhelmed, so I just let it go by the way."
Aunt Zhang couldn't help laughing and said: "This sounds sour, but if your son and daughter-in-law are noisy all day long, you will be happy?"
Wang Chunhua sighed, "How can I, I was just thinking, if only I could have a daughter before, since I was a child, I have been caring since I was a child, so it's like these brats who married daughters-in-law one by one, and the mothers just forget about it." Later."
"Don't stand and talk without pain in your back." Aunt Zhang patted her and scolded with a smile, "You are lucky to have three sons. If you have three daughters, I don't think you will cry!"
Wang Chunhua also laughed, and she only talked about it. In fact, the juniors are doing well, and the house is peaceful. She is happier than anyone else.
Those peaches are all cut up, steamed in a pot, and then they can be taken out to dry.
Mao peach itself is slightly sour. After drying, it becomes a sweet and sour taste, which is both delicious and appetizing.
Wei Yuanhang knew that He Xiaoyun made it for Wei Jianwei, he read it several times that his mother was eccentric, and he ate peach slices many times when they were not dried, and was caught several times.
He Xiaoyun grabbed the spot again, poked the child's swollen cheek, and said, "Do you know that if you eat too much, you will get angry? When the time comes, your throat will be so swollen that you can't speak."
The child touched his neck in fright, then turned his hands away, tilted his head, and snorted, looking rather rebellious in his small appearance, "Who told mom to only feed dad, mom is bad."
He Xiaoyun was about to laugh angrily at him, and pinched his face hard with her hands, before saying: "Who said I only give it to him? Originally, you also had your share, but you kept stealing it yourself, and you have already eaten that share." .”
When Wei Yuanhang heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I haven't finished eating, there are still a lot!"
"Don't you say mom is broken now?" He Xiaoyun squinted at him.
The little fat man immediately hugged her leg like a dog's leg, grumpy, "Mom is the best, she's not bad at all."
He Xiaoyun shook her head unbearably, "Okay, let's go into the house, we can't eat any more."
"I want to watch the bird here, but I can't let it eat it!" Because he has his own share, the kid's mentality is different, and he volunteers to take care of Taozi.
He Xiaoyun also let him go, anyway, apart from him, there are basically no other small animals that would steal food, that kid just needs to control himself, and don't guard himself from stealing.
After two days in the sun, the peaches finally dried, and the photos from the photo studio were sent.
Feng Qiuyue looked at the photo and said to Wang Chunhua: "Mom, look, Xiaoyun looks better than the people on the movie screen."
Wang Chunhua also nodded. The second daughter-in-law is indeed beautiful, and there is no president in the world that is older than her.
He Xiaoyun was overwhelmed by the compliment, so she simply hid in her room to write a letter.
With the experience of the last time, this time I am familiar with the road, I still wrote about the current situation of the family and some embarrassing things about the children, and also wrote the funny scene of the two of them in the rain last time, and then thought about it, and told him that he couldn’t eat too much dried peaches once. many.
Because Wei Jianhua was not at home this time, no one would write for Wang Chunhua, so He Xiaoyun asked her what she wanted to say, and wrote it in the same letter, adding the wrapped dried peaches and photos at the end. She took time to go to the commune to give sent it out.
Therefore, the scene that Wei Jianwei planned to receive two letters did not appear, and he still only received one email.
