The temperature is rising day by day, and the wild lotus flowers in the pond are blooming. Bai Xiaoxi often sees children running across the road with lotus leaves on their heads.
Whenever this happens, you can hear the woman scolding the child, because the lotus leaf juice is very difficult to clean on the clothes, and the adults always don't let the children play.
When Bai Xiaoxi passes by the pond, he will stop to appreciate it for a while.
Liang Sheng thought she wanted to eat lotus seeds at first, but later found out that she was looking at flowers, so he went down to the pond, stepped on the mud, folded a few flowers, and put them in a glass bottle for her.
Seeing her smiling face with a lotus flower in her arms, Liang Sheng said something child in his heart.
He was washing his feet by the canal, "The first time I saw you, you were picking flowers too."
Bai Xiaoxi lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, "When?"
Liang Sheng raised his head and gestured, "On the day you first arrived, you were squatting on the side of the road."
Squatting behind the grass, she looks small, holding a handful of wild flowers on her cheeks, feeling that people are more beautiful than flowers.
Just a glance at that time, Liang Sheng didn't expect that he would remember it so clearly, even what she wore and how she looked when she smiled was still fresh in her memory.
"You're wrong," Bai Xiaoxi laughed. "It wasn't the first time we met."
"No?" Liang Sheng raised his eyebrows suspiciously, thought about it seriously, and said with a firm tone, "That's the first time we met."
If he had seen her before, he could not have been impressed.
Bai Xiaoxi shook his head and said with a smile, "I have to go a little further. You were carrying a big log and were blocked by a few educated youths. You asked us to move out of the way, don't you remember?"
She raised one hand and compared the action of a strong man, "That wood is really big, and it shocked us all."
Liang Sheng frowned and recalled, and finally got the impression that she was among those people at the time, but he was in a hurry and didn't pay attention.
Who would have thought that the two people who passed by at that time would eventually come together.
For a person with strong nerves like him, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Bai Xiaoxi returned to the educated youth point holding a lotus flower, and several educated youths gathered around.
"What a beautiful flower!"
"Is it in the pond in the north? I've noticed it for a long time, but unfortunately it's a bit far from the shore, and the pond is full of silt, so I can't pick it up."
"How did Xiaoxi get it?"
"Don't ask, Liang Sheng must have picked it for her, right?"
Bai Xiaoxi smiled generously: "He picked it, you can put a few flowers in the room."
"Forget it, why would we be so embarrassed to ask for the flowers your partner gave you." The educated youths joked.
"That's right, if you want, you can find someone yourself, right?"
"Okay, I didn't even talk about you, you actually talked about me, who asked me a few days ago, that—"
"Don't talk, don't talk!" The other person hurriedly covered her mouth, blushing.
Others came to join in the fun, "What do you say, who is that?"
"Who else is there, that's it."
"You guys hate it!" The teased female educated youth stomped her feet.
"Yes, yes, we hate it, and whoever doesn't hate it." Everyone burst into laughter.
It has to be said that Confessional Xiaoxi and Liang Sheng talked about the object, and several female educated youths looked at them with envy in their hearts.
It is said that Liang Sheng is fierce and looks unreasonable. Who would have thought that he was so good to his object
Bringing food and play, helping to bring meals on working days, accompanying him all day when not working, going to the theatre together, and even peeling the shells of the melon seeds and bringing them to his lips. They have never seen any man like that. Thoughtful.
Some female educated youths moved their minds, thinking that after going to the countryside for so many years, the days of returning to the city are far away, it is better to find one and forget, the two can still take care of each other.
But from the looks of it, those who are more handsome are not easy to work; those who earn more work points are very rude;
In short, Bai Xiaoxi and Liang Sheng were compared, and they felt that neither of them was suitable.
Not to mention the selection of female educated youths, the parents of young men in Yangmeiling are also worried.
In June in the countryside, the summer is slack. It is a good time for men and women of the right age to go on a blind date to find a partner. If you miss this time, the fields are busy in autumn, and you can only wait for winter.
In previous summers, we could always make a couple of pairs, but this year, when their parents asked about it, several young people shyly expressed their desire to find someone like Bai Zhiqing.
But the elders are worried to death. If you like Bai Zhiqing, you don't say it sooner. People have become Liang Sheng's object, so you come to express your position. You can't keep up with the hot ones!
They don't know Bai Zhiqing, okay? City people, educated, beautiful, good-natured, and earn ten work points.
But the family is Liang Sheng's object.
That Liang Sheng is easy to talk? Those who dare to covet him, he dares to come to the door with a hatchet!
The young people were reprimanded by their parents, some were beaten, and they were quickly sent to blind dates.
In fact, young people are also aggrieved. Not long ago, their parents also said that Bai Zhiqing is good, but he is spending a lot of money, and he is not a good person to live.
Why do they think they are slow now...
Bai Xiaoxi and Liang Sheng, despite everyone's envy and envy, still showed their love unconsciously.
The last time he went up the mountain, Liang Sheng found that there was a wild peach tree bearing a lot of fruit in the valley between the big and small Yangmeiling. After counting the time, the peaches should be ripe. Bamboo basket up the mountain.
Along the way, Bai Xiaoxi thought about the delicacies that peaches can make, "You can make canned peaches, dry peaches, make jam, and fruit tea!"
Liang Sheng opened the way in front of him, cutting the vines and weeds with a hatchet from time to time, "How to boil the jam, is it the same as the way of bayberry?"
"Actually, it's almost the same. Boil it with sugar, that is, the peaches should be marinated first. Then we will do it together. You can't start to hear it secretly?"
Liang Sheng was thinking about it. He really planned to make the food she said by himself. The kitchen was hot in the summer, and he didn't want her to suffer in it.
But Bai Xiaoxi had the same thought as him. The kitchen was so hot, so the two of them would always work faster. Besides, it would be interesting to have someone talk.
Seeing Liang Sheng's silence, Bai Xiaoxi poked his finger on his back, "Did you hear me... I'm angry if you didn't hear me."
"I heard." Liang Sheng's back was tickled by her soft poking, so he had to agree.
Walking across a weedy slope again, he stopped, "Here it is."
Bai Xiaoxi raised his head and exclaimed in admiration: "Wow..."
This is an old tree with a sturdy trunk, curved branches and leaves, and the cracked bark is full of vicissitudes.
There are not many peaches on the tree, but all of them are the size of an adult man's fist, and their blue and white outer belts are full and attractive.
"Have you thinned the fruit?" She asked Liang Sheng, if it grows naturally, it is not easy for wild peaches to grow so big.
Liang Sheng picked a peach, washed it with the water in the kettle, and handed it to her, "None once."
"Crack-"
Bai Xiaoxi took it and took a bite, the pulp cracked crisply, and the peach juice splashed.
"Delicious!" She narrowed her eyes contentedly and brought the peach to his mouth, "You can eat it too."
After so long, Liang Sheng finally felt more comfortable about her feeding.
He took a big bite of the pulp, waved his hand, and motioned for her to eat the rest by himself, then picked up the peaches with the basket on his back.
Bai Xiaoxi quickly finished eating, and also came to pick them together.
Liang Sheng stood under the tree and picked the lower ones, she climbed up the tree and picked the top ones.
Originally, Liang Sheng didn't let her do it, and planned to climb the tree by himself, but Bai Xiaoxi disagreed. The old peach tree was old and couldn't bear his weight.
When the two of them went out, the sun was still shining. Not long after they arrived under the peach tree, a few dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and the sky became darker.
"It's not going to rain." Bai Xiaoxi looked up at the sky.
Thunderstorms in summer are the most unreasonable, and they come.
Liang Sheng looked at most of the peaches, and made a decisive decision: "Go home, the rest will come another day."
"Okay." Bai Xiaoxi jumped down from the tree.
Liang Sheng was about to help her, but the person had already fallen to the ground. He raised his eyebrows in disapproval, "So high, what should I do if my feet are sprained?"
Bai Xiaoxi stuck out his tongue, "No way."
Seeing that Liang Sheng was still frowning, she stood on tiptoe, rubbed his eyebrows, and said coquettishly, "Don't frown, I'll let you help next time."
Liang Sheng held her and sighed helplessly. Ever since he met her, he felt that he had a tendency to develop towards an old mother.
He's a man, alas.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's going to rain." Bai Xiaoxi leaned over and kissed him on the lips, took his hand and left.
"..." There was still a soft touch and the sweetness of peach juice on his lips. Liang Sheng was only glad that she walked in front, and he didn't see the cowardly appearance that he almost stumbled on his left foot and right foot.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, it was getting darker, and the rain could come down at any time. Many people who were working on the road were about to rush home when they saw Liang Sheng's back basket and exclaimed: "Where did you pick such big peaches!"
Because I was in a hurry to avoid the rain, I couldn't talk about it, so I hurriedly separated, but I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Bai Zhiqing and Liang Sheng are really capable people.
A few dozen meters away from Liang Sheng's house, the raindrops finally fell, and the pea-sized raindrops hit the body, which was painful and cold.
"Oh, run!" Bai Xiaoxi pulled Liang Sheng and ran wildly.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of his house, the sparse rain poured down with a clatter.
Both of them had water droplets on their faces, their hair was messy, Liang Sheng's shoes almost flew away, and they pulled back all the way, and Bai Xiaoxi's hairpin also fell to the end of her hair, following her movements. Shake back and forth.
They have never seen each other so embarrassed, you look at me, I look at you, silent for a while, and finally burst into laughter at the same time.
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Bai Xiaoxi laughed staggeringly, tears streaming out, Liang Sheng showed two pointed tiger teeth, and there was no trace of fierceness.
"It's so interesting, we will go up the mountain to pick fruit in the future!"
Bai Xiaoxi announced that the grapes in the late summer, the hawthorn in the late autumn, the persimmons in the early winter, and the wild fruits on the mountain were all contracted by the two of them!
