The sun is so strong that it cannot see through the dense leaves of the jackfruit tree, and the majestic canopy covers the entire yard.
Jackfruit fruit does not hang on the branches like ordinary fruits, because its heavy fruit is by no means ordinary branches can bear. A green leaf, really beautiful.
Li Rou knew that the jackfruit tree was definitely not the tree of life, but he also guessed that the tree of life should be similar to the jackfruit, and the fruit of life was also such a huge fruit hanging on the branches.
An Nanxiu said that the people in Tianyun Divine Realm were all picked from the tree of life. Li Rou just thought it was interesting. Now that he sees such a big tree and thinks about it again, he can't help but feel a strange feeling. Could it be true? Pick off the jackfruit fruit and cut it open, will there be a white and tender baby
"Only the tree of life in the Tianyun Empire's palace will bear princess fruit. This one will not." An Nanxiu said proudly.
"What are you talking about?" Li Banzhuang couldn't understand what Li Rou and An Nanxiu were saying.
"An Nanxiu thinks that people pop out of the fruit picked from the tree, and she thinks that there are children in the fruit of this tree." Li Rou said with a smile.
Li Banzhuang looked up at the jackfruit tree and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, An Nanxiu was fourteen years old and still so naive. I came back and asked my mother, and my mother also said that my brother and I were picked from trees."
"Well, it was picked from this tree." Li Rou moved a ladder and prepared to go up to pick a jackfruit: "I'll go pick another jackfruit."
Seeing that Li Rou and Li Banzhuang didn't believe her, An Nanxiu raised her head and dismissed them as ignorant guys.
Li Rou is familiar with picking jackfruit with a light car, with a machete on his waist, first climbs up the ladder, and then throws it to the upper branch with a hook rope, then pulls himself up slowly and steps on the branch to prepare for picking jackfruit fruits.
"Brother, be careful." Li Banzhuang pulled An Nanxiu away from the tree. The jackfruit fruits in September and October are the last wave of ripe ones, and some of them may fall down by themselves. The big thing hit it, and it was seriously injured even if it didn't die.
Li Rou was waving at Li Banzhuang from above, walking staggeringly, Li Banzhuang looked terrified, Li Rou had fallen from above, and fell into a coma for a long time, Li Banzhuang would never forget that feeling The fear of losing a brother.
However, after falling from a height of more than three meters, Li Rou unexpectedly woke up miraculously, alive and well.
Li Rou chopped off a jackfruit, and then simply chopped down a large clump of jackfruit. After working for more than an hour, there were already hills of jackfruit piled under the tree.
Li Rou jumped down from the tree, took the towel handed over by Li Banzhuang, wiped his face, took a sip of water, and said to An Nanxiu, "Shall I split one for you to see?"
An Nanxiu was a little worried, if they were all children, would Li Rou also take care of them? An Nanxiu didn't want to do this. Li Rou was her attendant, so he just took care of her alone.
As for the problem that the jackfruit tree is not a tree of life, An Nanxiu never considered it at all. How could she make a mistake
Li Rou quickly split one open. Where there are children, he peeled a piece of fruit and handed it to An Nanxiu, "Do you want to eat it?"
An Nanxiu took it and looked at it over and over again.
"You were like this when you were young?" Li Rou laughed loudly, "Could it be that when you were young, you were planted in the ground and watered, and then you grew up?"
An Nanxiu's cheeks were hot and red, and she became angry from embarrassment, and stuffed the pulp into Li Rou's mouth: "Don't laugh at me, shut up!"
An Nanxiu felt ashamed, and was more puzzled. Although the tree of life was a little smaller... she still insisted that it was the tree of life, not the jackfruit tree that Li Rou said. It bears fruit, but why are there no children inside
But if it is really the tree of life, how could it appear here? It became like this again... Is it like me, came to the earth by myself, turned into an ordinary little girl, blood will flow from the cracks in the body, and the tree of life will not give birth to children
An Nanxiu was puzzled, but finally there was something she could research and be interested in. An Nanxiu took out a small box and took out the skin, seeds, pulp, leaves and branches of jackfruit. Put it in.
Li Rou called the owner of the fruit shop and asked someone to come and collect the last wave of jackfruit.
The jackfruit began to bear fruit in April and May. Until now, the jackfruit picked by Li Rou from this tree has sold a lot of money, but the taste of local jackfruit is not as good as that in tropical areas. Otherwise, Li Rou would spend a year It can sell for more than 10,000 yuan.
Not long after, the owner of the fruit shop in the town sent a car to collect it.
The price Li Rou sells is cheap, and there is no way around it. After all, it is local, but the price cannot be bought, not to mention that the taste is indeed not as good as that of jackfruit shipped from tropical areas, but Li Rou knows that the fruit shop charges it at a low price. His fruit is not sold in the small town, but sent to the big supermarket in the city to be sold as tropical jackfruit, earning several times the difference.
There was no way around this. Li Rou did not have such a network, and the owner of the fruit shop had also opened up the procurement channel in the supermarket. Otherwise, without those certificates of origin or customs declaration documents, these jackfruits would not be able to sell at high prices.
The people who came were Xu Xiaocheng, the son of the fruit shop owner, and his two little attendants. They were chatting in the fruit shop, and the shop owner sent them all to carry the fruit.
Xu Xiaocheng is considered a bully in the town. He didn't go to school after graduating from high school. Reading doesn't matter anymore.
Xu Xiaocheng walked into the yard, and first looked at An Nanxiu in a daze. The little girls nowadays are all white, tender, and beautiful, but such a little girl who is arrogant and full of superiority is not ordinary. Xu Xiaocheng has never seen one that can be raised by others.
An Nanxiu glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, why are these native men, except for Li Rou, all so hideous
Xu Xiaocheng is actually not ugly, but he doesn't read much, and has been around a lot in the society, so he always has a frivolous temperament. With An Nanxiu's indifferent appearance, he would not go out of his way to strike up a conversation.
His eyes soon fell on Li Banzhuang. Since Li Banzhuang went to high school, he seldom appeared here. Xu Xiaocheng was even rarer. He didn't expect that junior high school was still weak, thin and small. The half-makeup looks so attractive now, especially the girlish innocence and mellow body, which makes the three of Xu Xiaocheng want to move.
They are not such good boys as Li Rou. Nowadays, there are quite a few high school students who have had sex with men and women, let alone those who have already entered the society.
"Li Zi, come back to see your brother Xiaocheng, and go to my house to play later." Xu Xiaocheng approached Li Banzhuang rubbing his hands with a smile.
"Did you call Li Zi?" Li Banzhuang sneered.
Li Rou frowned, walked over, and asked Xu Xiaocheng to stay away from Li Banzhuang. Xu Xiaocheng bullied himself and Li Banzhuang a lot when he was a child. Xu Xiaocheng has always been used to forming cliques.
"Your brother can shout, but I can't?" Xu Xiaocheng didn't mind, he still had a playful smile on his face. He knew Li Banzhuang's temper. The little girl was actually not a docile temperament, but it was precisely because of this that Xu Xiaocheng was special. I like it, it has a taste.
"You try calling again." It's no longer a child, now Li Banzhuang is still used to relying on her brother, enjoying the peace of mind brought by his protection by her side, but sometimes she has enough confidence to solve it by herself It's a question, otherwise she wouldn't be bold enough to be alone with Yang Jingxin who knew she had unreasonable thoughts about her.
"Plum!" Xu Xiaocheng winked, and the one who called out to be affectionate, stretched out his hand to pull Li Banzhuang, "Let them carry the fruit, Brother Xiaocheng will take you to play."
Li Rou squeezed Xu Xiaocheng's hand, and said coldly, "Xu Xiaocheng, your father didn't ask you to make trouble."
"They are all neighbors. It's rare to come back once. It's hard to justify not going to the house." Xu Xiaocheng struggled a bit, but he couldn't break free at all. He knew that Li Rou was strong, and he didn't care much. He didn't believe that Li Rou would dare How about him, "You think my family has taken care of your brothers and sisters for so many years, this man can't be ungrateful."
"Taking care of our brothers and sisters for many years? Hehe, you take our jackfruit for one or two yuan and sell it for four or five yuan in the supermarket. You really take care of us?" Li Banzhuang is also very clear. I still remember one time when my elder brother wanted to raise the price by 50 cents, but the owner of the fruit shop bullied his brothers and sisters because they were too weak to deal with a pile of jackfruit accumulated in the yard.
At that time, school was starting, and both brothers and sisters needed to spend money, so they had to agree to buy at a reduced price.
"Really? Then we don't want these pineapples, you pile them up." Taking advantage of Li Rou's relaxation, Xu Xiaocheng threw Li Rou's hand away, and said with a sneer, he doesn't believe that the Li family brothers and sisters can still fight. over him.
Li Rou smiled. In fact, it is far more relaxed than before. Although he works harder, college students have far more opportunities and time to make money than high school students. He no longer takes the money from selling jackfruits too important.
"Let's go!" Xu Xiaocheng beckoned his two attendants to leave, he was dumbfounded when he got out of the yard, the pickup truck that drove over disappeared without a trace.
An Nanxiu stood at the gate of the yard, the wind was blowing, revealing two thin legs, she was poking the ants crawling around on the wall with a piece of dogtail grass.
"Little sister, did you see the car just now?" Xu Xiaocheng was full of surprise and worry, the car was gone, if he lost it, he would be beaten to death by his father when he went back.
"You bought those life fruits, and they cost a hundred popsicles per catty. I'll let you know if I saw them." An Nanxiu was sticking the toffee on the wall, not letting any ants get close, and they were circling anxiously.
What a boring little girl, Xu Xiaocheng watched her doing this kind of thing, and came to a judgment in his heart. This kind of little girl is probably difficult to communicate, and said with a smile: "If you want a hundred popsicles, as long as you tell brother, I will give it to you right away." Are you going to buy it?"
"Brother? Do you want to die?" An Nanxiu turned his head, looked at Xu Xiaocheng suspiciously, and waited seriously for his answer—
Exposure to the sun at noon, the abandoned baby was at home alone in the scorching sun, crying and begging for a red ticket.
