Lifting the green net covering the quilt, the bright light of the flashlight shone among the trees, where the half-ripe cherries with green, red and yellow colors were densely packed together, looking particularly pleasing to the eye.
The person in charge had a good memory. He turned around and found the right angle, and soon the light captured a red, crystal clear cherry.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. It was just a cherry, but he felt like a thief.
He looked around and reached out to pluck the cherry.
When he crawled out of the net, he looked at the cherries left and right with a flashlight and really fell in love with the red color!
The sweet scent of cherries seemed to linger in his mouth, and he put it in his mouth without hesitation.
The next moment—
!
!
The person in charge did not sleep all night.
He tossed and turned. The workers in the shed were turning over, snoring, talking in their sleep, picking their feet, scratching their itches. There was nothing like him, the only one missing.
The taste of the cherry seemed to still be in his mouth. He tossed and turned until midnight before he stuck out his tongue and carefully spit out the cherry pit.
How to say it
Even this action reveals a sense of reluctance.
How can there be such delicious food in the world
How could he know that these cherries were soaked in the spiritual energy at his doorstep day and night, and their taste was more than 10 times better than the vegetables he sold before!
It was easy to win his heart.
Early in the morning, after he walked around the construction site with a haggard look on his face, he turned around and found Song Sancheng standing under the cherry tree, observing something carefully.
He was shocked!
I thought, could it be that I was discovered stealing a cherry last night
But then I thought again, it was just a cherry. I had worked for others before and picked pears from people’s doorsteps. It was nothing.
But the more I thought about it, the more nervous my heart became.
But at this moment, he just forced a smile and walked forward: "Brother, what are you looking at here?"
Song Sancheng took the cigarette from his hand with surprise, and smiled: "I was thinking that the cherries should be ripe this year, why are they not ripe yet... And why is the net a bit messy, and the leaves seem to have been pulled by someone..."
The more I looked at it, the more puzzled I became. However, the cherries on top were yellow and red, which clearly meant they were not fully ripe. Anyone who has eaten unripe cherries knows what they taste like.
Not really!
The person in charge felt guilty.
After he ate the cherry last night, he turned around and crawled into the net below, rummaging around with a flashlight in the middle of the night.
However, after struggling for a long time, I didn't catch a single ripe one. The half-ripe ones were still hard to the touch, so I couldn't bring myself to pick them.
Now that Song Sancheng had noticed it, he could only pretend to be casual and said, "Maybe a squirrel dug it up at night... There are a lot of squirrels in our area!"
That's true.
It was just a cherry, Song Sancheng didn't take it seriously, and the topic was quickly changed: "What do squirrels look like? Their fur is fat and shiny! Let me tell you, in the early spring, they are like gray-haired mice, climbing up the wall every morning to bask in the sun. Look how healthy they are!"
"They have managed to keep themselves plump and furry. If they weren't always trying to steal things, they would look quite fond of people."
He looked at the net next to him again and said, "I can't say for sure if it was them... But does this squirrel also eat cherries
The topic returned to cherries, and the person in charge quickly interrupted: "Stealing? What did they steal?"
"There are so many, and I don't pick anything. The stalks and leaves of the vegetables... You say it's strange, don't squirrels eat nuts and other things? I don't think it's a big deal if it stole a handful of chestnuts."
"But what do they take every day? If I hadn't looked carefully, they would have looked like mice."
But precisely because these things are harmless, my family doesn't care at all. This recipe is quite outrageous.
The person in charge listened absentmindedly, then glanced at the cherry tree next to him and suddenly asked, "Brother, I think the fruits of your cherry tree should be quite good. When they are ripe, will you sell them?"
Song Sancheng waved his hand: "Don't you see how many people there are in my family? This cherry tree alone is not enough for them to grow - what, do you want to eat some?"
The person in charge blushed and said quickly: "It's been a long time since I went home. My wife and children..."
Song Sancheng thought it was nothing!
"If you want to eat them, come pick them when they are ripe! But you can't keep these cherries. Wait until the day you are ready to go home before picking them."
They were so straightforward that it seemed that the person in charge was too unkind to act so late at night last night.
His ears were burning, and he stammered, "I went out for a stroll last night, and saw a red apple on this tree. I couldn't help but taste it, and it was delicious."
After he said that, Song Sancheng also started to think: The food at home tastes special this year, it must be because Tan Tan used some good ingredients.
But this kid is hiding well...
Logically speaking, these cherries must be really good and shouldn't be given away so casually.
But he is in charge of his house!
This person in charge is always smiling and polite, and will accept any request.
But building a house still requires care.
He then continued to smile and said, "What's the big deal? When they are ripe, just come and pick them."
I looked at the stars next to me, and the chirping birds next to me, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This attracts too many birds. Fortunately, I put a net on it, otherwise there would be nothing left this year.
No wonder the babies’ appetites are getting bigger and bigger. They are busy chasing birds and rabbits in the fields every day.
Although the stuff is good, it has attracted quite a few "little thieves". I'll give some big bones to the treasures later!
Song Sancheng kept this in mind. Just as he was about to go back for breakfast, he heard a burst of crazy dog barking in the distance!
"Woof!"
“Woof woof!”
The sound became louder and louder, and the whole family was stunned—
"Is this... catching a thief?"
Song Youde was even more excited: "In the vegetable garden!" He picked up a hoe and ran into the garden.
Song Tan looked at it and couldn't help but be shocked - her grandfather was so old, and he still held a hoe? Whether he was hurt or hurt others, it would be difficult to deal with it!
I quickly followed him.
However, when they crossed the road and came to the fields at the lower edge, they saw Sanbao jumping quickly in the vegetable fields. His agile movements did not hurt any leaves. In his mouth, he was holding a large, colorful pheasant with long tail feathers.
Good job!
Song Tan called it a great home!
The pheasant is not dead. If it were to die, it would have been caught by her dog. She shouldn't be held responsible, right
The two dogs became more and more excited.
Sibao was holding a chicken in his mouth, and Sanbao started barking and walked in front of everyone with his head held high.
Seeing Sibao spit out the chicken in his mouth, it raised a paw and pressed the opponent's colorful and beautiful feathers under its feet!
