Qin Rou really planted bitter melons at home, but not in the yard, but on the second floor. To be on the safe side, it is best for crops like bitter melons to be kept away from other plants, lest the bitter taste be transmitted to other fruits and vegetables.
Although many people say that it is pseudoscience that bitter melon affects other plants, but... Cucumbers and loofahs that are planted together with bitter melons may often be bitter. Qin Rou once bought loofahs that were as bitter as bitter melons in the vegetable market.
"I hope these two thriving bitter gourd seedlings can bear fruit successfully." Qin Rou left behind the two strongest bitter gourd seedlings, waiting for them to grow up and bear fruit.
"Little aunt, do you really want to grow bitter melons?" Xia Mingxi looked at Qin Rou with a bitter face, and couldn't understand Qin Rou's behavior of planting bitter melons.
Classmate Xixi is very afraid of suffering, and he doesn't like to eat radishes very much. The last time he held a bitter melon feast, he ran to Chen Jingyi's house to avoid the disaster.
After the Chen family built a new house, Xia Mingxi often went to live in the Chen family. He mainly wanted to play with Chen Jingyi, who was the same age. In addition, there were so many children in the village. It was so fun to go to the mountains and play wild together, and secondly, to escape from two annoying people. little cousin.
"Well, plant bitter gourd with Zhouzhou and dumplings." Qin Rou nodded. The bitter gourd seedlings at home were raised by her with two pups, and then transplanted into pots, probably because they are still thin and fragile. Little Miaomiao, the Zhouzhou Dumpling brothers didn't think this little Miaomiao was a threat at all.
Mom said that if the family grows melons, they don't have to trade radishes with Uncle Zhang next door.
In fact, bitter gourd stuffed meat is quite delicious, and the cubs can only eat the stuffed meat in the bitter gourd, and give the bitter gourd skin to the elder brother and father.
Little Jiaozi said: "Brother Xixi, are you afraid of eating bitter melon?"
Brother Zhouzhou cooperated and said, "Mom said that when I grow up, I won't be afraid to eat bitter melon and radish."
Dumpling said: "Brother Xixi, eat more bitter melon."
Zhou Zhou said: "Give all the bitter gourds to my brother, and my mother said that Kong Rong should give me the pears."
Dumpling nodded, Zhou Zhou went to hug his younger brother, and said deeply, "My brother eats bitter gourd, my younger brother eats meat..."
Dumpling held her face and said happily, "It's nice to have a brother."
Qin Rou was speechless and choked, thinking that only at such times would their little dumpling be happy to be a younger brother.
Xiaosha Baitian's younger brother.
"The teacher said, this is a good brother, you want to love your brother, Brother Xixi, are you right?" The brother Zhouzhou can't do the innocent gesture of holding his face, although he is as short and thick as his brother Dumpling, he can raise his hand Touching his head, he looks like a good brother who loves his younger brother.
Really brothers and sisters.
However, Zhou Zhou’s little calculations are also playing in his heart. Xiao Jiaozi has an older brother, and he also has a big cousin. What’s more, Xiao Jiaozi still wants to be an older brother. Brother, you can bend and stretch.
"Brother Zhouzhou is so kind, brother Xixi, you are also a good brother, right?"
At a young age, these two children have already learned moral kidnapping.
Just like their father, under the threat of bitter melon, they can burst out with a different kind of wisdom and eloquence.
Xia Mingxi: "..."
His face was wrinkled like a bitter melon.
"Your brother Jing Yi is also a good brother, let him come and eat the bitter melon you planted together." The dead fellow Taoist said, Dora will be more happy if he goes into the water alone.
Zhouzhou and Jiaozi nodded.
They began to look forward to the growth of bitter gourd seedlings at home.
As the bitter gourd seedlings grew up, their small lawn also began to grow a large section of grass. Qin Rou asked Brother Bing from the family courtyard to help mow the grass. Skills like mowing grass are very easy for Bing , After mowing the lawn, the two cubs are playing on the lawn again.
"Mom, Qiuqiu."
The family courtyard has a basketball court and a table tennis table. Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi are very greedy when they see the older children playing ball. Lu Yan bought them football and basketball. They don't like football, but basketball.
So when she was at home, Qin Rou saw these two little kids playing basketball on the lawn.
Qin Rou: "...Be careful in the yard, don't damage the flowers and plants planted by mother."
Fortunately, basketball is not suitable for playing. It is still a gentle scene for two cubs playing basketball in the yard.
When Lu Yan came home, he would take the two kids to shoot basketball on the aisle outside the yard. If the weather was fine or cloudy, he would simply take the two kids to the basketball court to play.
The three fathers and sons always have to work out a sweat before coming back.
"When adults are playing table tennis and badminton, don't walk behind people, remember to go around a little farther, and be careful not to be bumped by them..." When they went to play on the court, Qin Rou always had to give a few words.
Generally, it is most dangerous when meeting people playing table tennis and badminton. They are afraid that they will back up to catch the ball, and if they hit a passing child, it is easy to cause an accident.
Some time ago, a five-year-old child in a family home was hit by a ping-pong player, knocked his chin to the ground, and made a mouthful of blood, which frightened everyone around him.
"Lu Yan, take care of the child."
"rest assured."
Xia Mingxi didn't go to play ball with them. Primary school student Xixi was uncoordinated with his hands and feet and couldn't hit the basket. In addition, it was boring to play ball with his little cousin. He likes hide and seek and ghost and catch games.
Recently, he was playing a sandbag throwing game with some children. The rule of the sandbag throwing game is that two people stand facing each other and throw sandbags at each other. Another group of children stand between the two to hide sandbags. If you hit it, you will be out. If you catch the sandbag, you will have one more chance to save your life.
The game of throwing sandbags is very popular in schools and family homes these days. You can often see sandbags flying in the sky. There are also some seven or eight-year-old children whose parents don’t help them make sandbags, so they try to get them I picked up rags and sewed sandbags by myself.
Some people who don't have the conditions to make sandbags get waste paper, knead it into a large paper ball, and then stick it around with tape, which can also be regarded as a simple "sandbag".
Children's games, like fashion trends, are reincarnated again and again. When you get tired of playing hide-and-seek, you play sandbags. When you get tired of throwing sandbags, you play pebbles. Kind of kids around "playing with rocks."
Qin Rou also played stone-throwing games with others when she was a child. When she saw other children playing, she secretly bought a set of "stones". There are five stones in a set. There are various ways to play, but it's not interesting to play at home. .
When Hua Hua's mother came to her house to pick shallots, she said to Qin Rou: "Our family Liu Yue has been practicing skills at home recently, and I will practice with him."
Head Zhang next door was very curious when he heard the two of them talking, and he leaned over and asked, "What skills does Liu Yue practice in your family?"
"The skill of throwing stones, Zhang Tuan, didn't you play it when you were young?"
Zhang Chengbei: "..."
How can this be called practicing skills
He boasted: "When I was in elementary school, no one in my class could compare to me in terms of throwing stones."
"Look at my big hands, don't you? Big hands have an advantage, and our Yichao is also strong."
"Really? Throw it to us?"
Qin Rou contributed a set of stones that she had saved. Li Qinghua, Qin Rou and Zhang Chengbei squatted in the corner of the wall to play with the stones together.
Perhaps head Zhang was really a master at throwing stones when he was a child, but his skills are already rusty, throwing one, missing one, and still can't catch it...
Li Qinghua: "...You are not as good as me as the head of the regiment!"
Huahua's mother is very proud. She has practiced a lot of skills recently playing stone throwing with her son.
Show it to Zhang Chengbei on the spot.
"Look, I can throw five, catch with the back of my hand, throw it up again, catch with the palm of—"
Li Qinghua showed Zhang Chengbei her chubby hands. Her hands were short and fat, very cute, but very flexible.
Zhang Chengbei: "..."
Head Zhang is very competitive and just refuses to admit defeat, "It's been a long time since I've played, I'm a beginner, I'll practice for a while, I'm sure I'll be much better than you."
It was very interesting for Qin Rou to watch the two of them compete for power, so they just made a small horse, and the three of them played with rocks at the door together.
When Mr. Huang came home, he saw the three of them playing with stones together, and almost spit out old blood. It was fine to see students playing with stones on the table and on the ground in a hurry after class. Children playing with stones, one of them is your old Zhang
Lao Lu from the family next door took his two children to play on the basketball court, and this one of theirs only plays with rocks
"The three of you are not good at this level, so I'll do it!!" Huang Xinying really couldn't see it. She was a teacher at school. As a teacher, she was determined not to play this kind of child's game. Now she saw three useless people. , Remembering that I was also a master of throwing stones when I was in elementary school, I simply leaned over to show off.
Qin Rou: "..."
Originally, she thought that she wanted to play with rocks for a while, but she didn't expect that the couple next door would be even better.
When Lu Yan brought the two children back from the basketball court, they saw the four of them getting together and throwing stones.
Lu Yan: "..."
Like the two little squirrels, Zhouzhou and Jiaozi poked out their little heads from their father's legs: "Mom, what are you playing with?"
Qin Rou coughed, which seemed a bit disrespectful, "It's nothing to play, look at yourselves, the three of you are covered in sweat, take the child to take a bath and change clothes."
Qin Rou withdrew her pony horse, dragged her husband and children home, and left the head Zhang and his wife to play stones with Li Qinghua.
Zhang Chengbei: "..." I belatedly remembered what I was doing.
Huang Xinying: "..."
Li Qinghua: "... I went to the cafeteria to get some food."
Teacher Huang said, "I'll go with you."
Zhang Chengbei sighed, "I'll go home and take the kids."
The life in the family courtyard is so dull and full of twists and turns.
In mid-June, 1975, the lychee tree transplanted to the yard in the year Zhouzhou and Jiaozi were born bore fruit. Last year the tree hadn't bear fruit yet, but this year unexpectedly produced fruit.
Ever since small fruits appeared on the fruit tree, Qin Rou often took the two little ones at home to count the fruits on the tree, "One, two, three, four..."
Zhou Zhou and the dumpling brothers counted together, waiting for the red lychees on the lychee tree to ripen.
"Mom, eat fruit!!"
"When they grow up a bit, we'll pick them off and eat the fruit."
The two children were jumping for joy.
When Lu Yan came back, the two of them threw themselves into Dad's arms, "Dad, the fruit we planted."
"Mom said it was our Guoguo."
"Big and red for mom and dad to eat!"
…
The two children talked in a childish voice, which made Lu Yan feel very pleased, and carried them to count the fruits together.
"This is the fruit tree your mother planted after you were born."
"It's the fruit of Zhouzhou and dumplings."
The family is especially looking forward to the fruit ripening. The Zhang family next door sees the Lu family wandering around the fruit tree every day, but their family does not have any. It is too late to plant trees now.
So Zhang Chengbei went to buy a sack of lychees and came back, "Isn't it just lychees, cheap things, such a bag only costs a dime? Why grow it yourself."
"Just those lychee trees by the roadside, people can't finish them."
"The lychees on this tree are only four or five cents. What kind of lychees are you spending so much effort on?"
Huang Xinying peeled off a lychee, and couldn't help sighing: "When a concubine rides the world of mortals and smiles, no one knows it's the lychee."
"Look at how precious the ancients were to eat this lychee, ours is not worth a penny."
"Enjoy the emperor's treatment."
"The fruit is so sweet."
Except for Zhang Dundun, the three members of the Zhang family had nosebleeds after enjoying the emperor's treatment, especially Zhang Yichao, who ate too many lychees and kept bleeding.
The nose is hot and I can't stop it.
Teacher Huang blamed Zhang Chengbei: "Who told you to buy so many lychees?"
"I just bought it for a dime, who knew that a dime was so much."
"Can't you just buy it for a few cents and try it?"
"I can't get it out, I think I can buy more if I can't buy it."
"Who told you to pretend to be rich?"
…
Several members of the Lu family witnessed the early nosebleed of the Zhang family next door.
Lu Yan and Qin Rou: "..."
The lychees in their family are not yet mature, and they have already eaten lychees until their nose bleeds.
Qin Rou sighed, the expensive lychees, mangoes and coconuts in the future will not be worth much on the island, or in other words, they will not be worth much at all.
Of course, because it is worthless, few people cultivate good varieties, and they are all grown randomly, but on this island, because of the climate, even if they are cultivated casually, the fruits grown are very sweet.
Not so many fancy names.
Now the most important and most economically valuable plants on the island are not these fruit trees, but rubber trees. Nowadays, few people care about these fruit trees.
"Cubs, let's pick lychees!" Qin Rou prepared the scissors and asked the three children to come out to pick lychees together.
The lychee tree was planted next to the coconut tree, at the outermost corner, because it hadn’t been planted for a few years, and the tree didn’t grow much. In fact, it didn’t bear much fruit.
But the first time the fruit tree at home grows fruit, the sense of ceremony must be full!
After the whole family gathered together, they all put on straw hats and prepared scissors. Qin Rou and Lu Yan each held a child, and let the two of them hold the scissors and wipe the lychees hard.
After Xia Mingxi cut a few lychees with scissors, he ate bananas alone. Yes, he didn't even bother to eat lychees.
Classmate Xixi looked disgusted.
Because I often go to Chen's house to play, there are more lychee trees on the roadside in the village, and the few lychee trees planted by various friends can't be eaten up. Xia Mingxi is very popular everywhere, the uncles, aunts and other children in the village Give him lychees, and he'll be terrified of eating them.
No matter how sweet it is! !
I had nosebleeds several times.
Xia Mingxi touched her nose in fear, thinking that bananas are the best fruit on this island! !
The only problem is that you have to be careful when eating bananas on the mountain, because there will be monkeys coming to grab bananas.
The monkeys on the mountain are cheap, they don’t eat bananas when they have them, they just like to snatch bananas from others, and even mock people with muttering.
Lu Yan and his wife picked lychees with their cubs in their arms.
"Hurry up the dumplings, mom's hands are going to get tired from holding them."
"Go and eat lychees, father and mother are here to pick lychees."
…
Before picking the lychees, Qin Rou prepared a big basket. The lychees had to be cut together with the branches and leaves, so it was very fast to cut carefully. There were seven or eight lychees on a branch. With only one pair of scissors, all of them were cut off and thrown into the basket .
Qin Rou tasted one. Although the lychee grown by herself is not very big, it is still sweet and delicious.
Mom and Dad picked lychees carefully, the eldest cousin ate bananas, and Zhou Zhou and Dumplings squatted by the basket to eat lychees. The family was in a very harmonious state.
After picking off all the red lychees on the tree, Qin Rou looked at the lychees in the basket, she guessed, and after guessing, she found out... around 20 cents of lychees.
— so worthless.
"There are so many lychees. We can't finish them at home. I'll send some to the neighbors."
Qin Rou went to several family homes to knock on the door to give away lychees, saying that they were lychees from her own fruit trees, but no one accepted the lychees she gave.
"Xiao Qin, don't eat it, don't eat it, you will get angry if you eat too much lychee."
"Don't eat, don't eat."
"Xiao Qin, our family has another jackfruit, you can take it back."
…
In this way, Qin Rou only forcibly left the lychee at Huahua's mother's house, and brought back a jackfruit from her house, which was considered a reluctant gift.
"No one wants such a beautiful lychee."
In the 1970s and 1980s when transportation was underdeveloped and cold chain storage technology was incomplete, let alone lychees were worthless, even abalone and sea cucumbers were not worth much.
After washing her hands, Qin Rou took out her enamel jar, peeled off the lychee shell, and squeezed the clean lychee meat into the enamel jar one by one without touching the lychee meat with her fingers.
She first filled half a cup of lychee meat and froze them in the freezer. She found that the frozen lychees that had been frozen for two hours were just right. The taste of the smoothie is very delicious.
It's sweet, like eating lychee smoothie, it's cold and refreshing.
"Come and eat some frozen lychees."
This kind of frozen lychee like ice cream smoothie has the most natural temptation for children, even Xia Mingxi, who is tired of eating lychees, ate seven or eight.
"Little aunt, it's delicious!"
"Ice ice, ice ice again!" Zhouzhou and Jiaozi scooped up the milky white ice lychees with spoons. The fragrance of the lychees was filled with icy air. Zhou Zhou opened his eyes wide and took a bite of the ice lychees. It was cold at first, and the sweetness of the lychees melted in the mouth. It was a little bit frozen, but it was very delicious! ! !
"That's a good time!!"
Because the two brothers are still young, Qin Rou doesn't give them more to eat, and each of them has two frozen lychees, or there will be no more.
"Zhouzhou and dumplings eat two frozen lychees."
"Why can Brother Xixi and Dad eat so much?"
"Because Zhouzhou and Dumpling's intestines and stomach have not yet developed well, you can't eat too much cold food, and you will get sick if you eat too much."
"Okay, eat two today, and let you eat two more tomorrow."
"Mom, give me another one."
"No, I can only eat two!"
Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi brothers "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"-like piggy to express their dissatisfaction.
Thinking that her sister and brother-in-law didn’t have a freezer at home, she couldn’t eat iced lychees, so Qin Rou froze a lot of lychees. It happened that Lu Yan came back from a business trip for a day off. Go to Dajiao Village.
When Zhao Jianghong heard about this, he found a way to ask for a day off, and also took a car to Dajiao Village to meet his partner.
Ye Mingxiu is an educated youth here, and his family situation needs to be reviewed. In addition, when he met Qiongzhou Island, there was an incident involving enemy agents. Recently, the review has been extremely strict. The two of them will have to wait half a month for their marriage application report to be approved. Zhao Jianghong can't wait. Want to meet people.
In a borrowed jeep, Lu Yan sat in the driver's seat and Zhao Jianghong sat in the passenger seat. Seeing Lu Yan driving, Zhao Jianghong was surprised and suspicious: "Old Lu, can you drive?"
"Simple skill."
"Isn't an officer not allowed to drive?" Military vehicles are usually only driven by specialized soldiers after training. When driving a military vehicle, an officer must follow the vehicle. Each vehicle has an officer. Many technical officers are specialized follower tools. .
"If you don't drive, it doesn't mean you can't. Why do you talk so much? Brother Lu, I'm very talented. I even gave driving training to others before."
Zhao Jianghong: "..."
Lu Yan drove the car steadily and steadily. Zhao Jianghong was very envious when he saw it. There is no man who does not want to control the steering wheel. Zhao Jianghong watched him drive carefully from the side.
"It looks very simple to me, why don't you let me open it when you come back?"
Lu Yan: "No."
"I am responsible for my wife and children."
Zhao Jianghong: "..."
Qin Rou: "..."
"How about you teach me how to drive in the car? Stay away from your wife and children?"
Lu Yan smiled contemptuously: "Brother Lu, my vacation is very precious. I use it to practice driving with you? What a sweet dream."
Zhao Jianghong: "Forget it, I'll find my partner too."
Qin Rou looked around the side of the road. Driving in this era feels very safe, because there are basically no other vehicles on the road, and there is no need to worry about two cars colliding, but many roads are bumpy and not easy to drive.
Tractors can be proud and indulge in these places. Tractors can be changed into tanks.
This road is too safe. Qin Rou, who was afraid to drive after taking her driver's license test, dared to drive on this kind of small road. After all, there is no danger to her life. It is not easy to drive fast. She will hit a tree at most.
When they arrived in Dajiao Village, as soon as their car appeared, it attracted many village names to watch. Lu Yan moved a large box of frozen lychees into Chen's house. Come and chat.
Qin Rou took out some frozen lychees for the villagers to taste. Some of these frozen lychees were shelled, and some were not shelled. Qin Rou distributed the unshelled ones to the villagers.
"Hey, we have a lot of lychees. If you want to eat them, I'll go to the mountain to pick some and give them to you..."
"Try it, frozen lychees."
"Frozen lychees? Yeah, it's so cold."
"Give one or two to the children at home? It's too cold, try something fresh, don't eat too much."
When Qin Rou and the others arrived at the Chen family, several educated youths came to visit the Chen family to read books. Among them was Wang Zhiqing, who was sitting on a long bench, seriously flipping through a book of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" .
Another male educated youth next to him, Zhou Yuanfang, was holding a comic book in his hand, and smiled while reading him: "What do you think these books mean? Are they still math problems? What's the use of studying now, we won't be able to go to college anymore."
Wang Zhiqing said: "The content in the book is very interesting, I want to read it."
"You are a nerd!"
"It's good to see it. From now on, you Zhiqing Wang will stay in the village as an elementary school teacher, just like Teacher Chen."
Qin Mian called her sister and brother-in-law into the house, and brought in a box of frozen lychees. When Qin Rou saw the two educated youths sitting in the room, she asked unexpectedly, "Are there any guests?"
Qin Rou noticed a male educated youth wearing glasses holding a copy of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" in his hand.
Two male educated youths stood up to greet them.
"We're here to borrow books, sorry to bother you," Zhiqing Wang said.
"The book in your hand was given to my two nephews by me. It contains a lot of content. If you like it, please read more."
Zhou Yuanfang said with a smile from the side: "He really likes to read this set of books, he is obviously doing farm work every day, and he still has the mind to read math problems, and the students in his school don't do the problems now, there are a lot of other things. "
"If you want to be recommended by the commune to go to university, you might as well do a good job in farm work and establish a good relationship. Maybe the place to go to university will fall to you. Oops, I forgot, you don't seem to be good enough..."
"You see your eyes like this. Be careful that you will be robbed of your glasses by a monkey."
…
After hearing his words, Zhiqing Wang just smiled, obviously not taking his words seriously. After many people went to the countryside to become educated youths, they began to degenerate. How to return to the city as soon as possible.
Wang Zhiqing looked at Qin Rou and said seriously: "The book is a good book, let the children read more."
Qin Rou nodded, she paid attention to Wang Zhiqing, and felt that educated youths like him who went to the countryside must be the first batch of college students who can be admitted to universities after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
"Other educated youths want to see it, so you can ask them to come and see it."
These books are not very precious things, but science books that are rarely seen in this era. They can also lay a scientific and cultural foundation for people, and they will be useful when the college entrance examination resumes in two years.
Qin Rou asked them to come to her sister's and brother-in-law's house to borrow books, which can be regarded as helping to form a good relationship. If she can seize the opportunity and take the college entrance examination in the future, her fate can be changed.
Zhao Jianghong went to the educated youth point to find Ye Mingxiu. After Lu Yan and Qin Rou put down the frozen lychees, they took the two cubs up the mountain to play.
Qin Rou took his arm, looking at the natural scenery on the mountain, thinking that this is a rare opportunity for a parent-child outing.
"The kids said they were going to see the monkeys and they brought bananas..."
The old father, Lu Yan, took the bananas that the two children insisted on bringing, and the family went to the mountains. Qin Rou brought a camera, and the four of them walked and stopped on the mountain, and took many photos.
They also met several leisurely macaques.
Their fur is light golden with a bit of grayish brown, and their belly is grayish white. Because they are macaques, compared to other monkeys, they are pretty little monkeys.
The little macaque was not afraid of people, and lay lazily on his back on the big rock. When he saw Qin Rou's family coming, he didn't even bother to lift his tail. He raised his paw and picked his nose, feeling comfortable and at ease.
Qin Rou: "..."
Monkeys in this era are too flat, right? ! ! !
Seeing the little macaque, the two little cubs, Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi, grabbed their father Lu Yan's lap in fear and raised their heads to look at the monkey.
This little salted fish macaque turned over on the stone, revealing a large white belly to them.
The monkey belly also looks fluffy.
Qin Rou: "???!!!"
She actually wanted to reach out and rub the monkey a little bit.
"Lu Yan, you said that if I go up and rub the fur on its belly, will it scratch me?"
Lu Yan was speechless, "As a mother, can you set an example for your children?"
Tease monkeys on the mountain by yourself, your sons don't follow suit
"This monkey is really cute, don't you think it's right?" The point is that it looks very good-natured, the kind of monkey that lays flat.
Zhouzhou and Jiaozi nodded.
Qin Rou gave them popular science and said: "The aunt in the village said that these individual actions are usually male monkeys. If they fail to run for the monkey king, the male monkeys will be driven out to wander..."
Male monkeys don't work hard, and the little macaque lying flat with salted fish like the one in front of you is a male monkey who was driven out of the group.
The campaign for the monkey king failed, the male monkeys of the group were driven away, and all the female monkeys stayed to be the monkey king's companions.
Doesn't it sound cool? Not necessarily, because the female monkey will secretly give and receive to the stray monkeys outside, and cuckold the monkey king.
"A stray monkey?"
"Mom, it's so pitiful, they don't have a home."
"Give it a banana."
Qin Rou took the two children and asked Lu Yan to feed the monkey with a banana, "Brother Lu, you are smarter, do you want to take this opportunity to touch its belly?"
She wondered how it felt.
Lu Yan: "..."
Lu Yan handed the banana to the little macaque. The little macaque lazily took the banana offered by humans, peeled off the banana skin and gnawed on it. Lu Yan took the opportunity to scratch its belly.
Qin Rou clicked and clicked to take pictures, snapped—
I even got a monkey! ! !
Lu Yan: "..."
What's so good about this
The little macaque "chirped, huh", motioned to Lu Yan to scratch the chin of the monkey, Lu Yan: "..."
He stretched out his hand and scratched the monkey's chin, and the little macaque was very comfortable and scratched its belly with its legs, seeming to enjoy it very much.
Qin Rou didn't dare to speak loudly, but only dared to whisper softly: "Lu Yan, just like your brother, you have an affinity for animals."
"Mom, I want to touch the monkey too."
"Your father, as a family representative, has already had close contact with Mr. Monkey. We are still young, so let's not play with monkey."
Qin Rou is afraid that these people surnamed Lu really have animal affinity. What if the little macaque feels comfortable being plucked, and follows them home forcibly like that little squirrel? ? ? ! !
She doesn't want to raise macaques in the family yard.
Are two real and fake Monkey Kings at home not enough? ! ! !
"Chirp chirp..."
Fortunately, the little macaque had had enough, dropped the banana peel, and walked away wagging its tail.
"Why don't we leave here quickly, in case the monkey runs back to rescue soldiers."
Lu Yan smiled: "Stop watching Journey to the West."
"Okay, Zhou Zhou and Dumplings, we've seen enough monkeys today, let's go back."
Zhou Zhou and Jiaozi reluctantly nodded, at this moment, Qin Rou suddenly found that there was a tree not far from where the monkey was lying just now, and a vine was wrapped around the tree, and it also bore fruit.
Take a closer look, why do these small fruits look a bit like... passion fruit
Qin Rou went to pick a fruit, tried a way to hammer it open, and found that it was really a passion fruit.
The pulp inside is light yellow with black seeds. When you open it, you can smell the strange sour aroma. Don't think too much, it must be passion fruit.
"Mom, it smells so good."
"very sour."
There is basically no need to taste this fruit, you can feel the strong sour taste just by smelling it.
Although passion fruit is very sour, the passion fruit juice made with water and rock sugar is very delicious, let alone passion fruit jam.
— This is wild passion fruit! !
I went up the mountain to find a treasure.
Qin Rou immediately decided to dig this passion fruit seedling home and plant it. She found several passion fruit seedlings nearby, and some small passion fruit seedlings, and she dug them all out.
Lu Yan raised her eyebrows: "You want to take it back to plant? This wild fruit?"
"Don't you think the aroma is nice?"
Lu Yan: "If you want to grow it, you can grow it. Don't eat the things on the mountain. Be careful of poisoning. Ask the people in their village after you go down the mountain."
Qin Rou and Lu Yan took their two children down the mountain. When they came down, the two children, Zhouzhou and Jiaozi, were already sleepy. Lu Yan held one in each hand and let them sleep in his arms.
Carrying her own passion fruit vine seedling, Qin Rou asked him, "Are you tired, do you want me to hug one for you?"
"Not tired, you, take your wild fruit."
When she returned to Dajiao Village, Qin Rou approached the warm-hearted aunt Fu Yulan and asked her, "Aunt Fu, do you recognize this fruit?"
When Aunt Fu saw the passion fruit in her hand, she immediately replied, "I've seen it before. Why did you pick so many? It's sour and not tasty."
Qin Rou smiled: "I smell the fruit very fragrant. I want to plant it at home. The fruit looks pretty nice."
"It should be sour and sweet when it's ripe, right? Auntie, have you ever eaten it?"
"You young girls, it really looks good. When I was young, I was like you. I went up the mountain and dug a few plants, and now they are planted at the door of my pigsty...Big sister, to be honest, don't you Eat, this fruit is very sour, no matter how you grow it, pigs don’t like it.”
"A lot has grown next to my pigsty, how about I send you some seedlings?"
Qin Rou: "...Okay, okay... But I still want to try, Auntie, is there any result in your family?"
"Does it grow fruit? But Auntie, I advise you not to eat it. Pigs don't like it." Aunt Fu looked at Qin Rou with a strange look, thinking why this girl is so stubborn, and pigs don't even like it. Do you still want to taste the fruit you eat
Qin Rou: "..."
It turned out that the passion fruit she thought was a treasure had been planted beside the pigsty a long time ago, and the pigs hated it when the fruit was fed to the pigs.
— so sour.
Not to mention pigs, children who go up the mountain don't pick this kind of wild fruit. Children only like to pick sweet wild fruit. This kind of sour fruit is blacklisted.
"There are a lot of fruits growing here in my house. If you like them, I'll pick them all and give them to you..."
Qin Rou was given a lot of passion fruit by the enthusiastic Aunt Fu. She had to admit that the passion fruit growing by the pigsty was bigger and more nutritious than the wild passion fruit on the mountain.
She wants to take it back to make passion fruit juice!
The eating method of passion fruit juice and passion fruit jam should not have been developed in this era.
On this island, when the economy opens up in the future, it is better to sell fruit tea.
