The king, however, crawled back to the doghouse as if nothing had happened. At this moment, he placed his front paws under his chin, and with his tongue curled, a cherry with only the tip of the cherry nibbled appeared in his mouth.
So fragrant, so sweet, so delicious!
The big tongue rolled slowly, slowly sucking the cherry until no juice was left.
On the other side, Dabai always felt that something was wrong. While he was sleeping, he suddenly made a "click" sound and stretched his neck out from under the wings again.
It looked at the woods warily.
But the forest was completely silent; even the king had his eyes closed and did not steal anything.
It made two more "clicks" out of guilt, and then hesitated and put its head back into its armpits.
The squirrels in the tree were so angry that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. They jumped around and cursed, staring at the big dog below with hatred!
They jumped up and down on the tree trunk, their whole bodies filled with anger. Then, out of anger, they turned around and took out a treasured wild chestnut from the tree hole and smashed it down with a "bang".
The wild chestnuts that had been stored for the winter last year had now become dry and light. They fell from the sky and hit the king on the head. It didn't even raise its eyes, but just moved its ears, turned over and fell into a sound sleep again.
Squirrels: ... Squeak!
!
…
Early the next morning, after the person in charge arranged today's work, he was just about to go to Old Song's house to talk about the cherries - he had watched them overnight and found that they were already much riper this morning.
Then Song Sancheng and Song Youde came over with a small cart: "Let's get some more of these old bricks, cement and sand."
"Okay." Song Tan came over specifically to tell her that her father and grandfather could take whatever they wanted and they would settle the cost of the materials later.
only…
"What are you planning to build now?"
The last time I came back to get these things, they said they were going to build a drying room. To this day, coal is still burning there, and things are being baked.
It's May now, and 30 degrees Celsius is not too hot.
The person in charge is a smoker, but he has never smoked this kind of tobacco, and he is very confused at the moment - that is, what is inconvenient about cigarettes
Song Youde and Song Sancheng sighed:
"Don't mention it. The chicken coop on the mountain is too small. I'm going to build a bigger one for it."
As for the long-tailed pheasants, they should listen to Secretary Xiao Zhu and not publicize it. If anyone can't help but eat them, they will be the ones to bear the responsibility.
Speaking of this, the person in charge agreed: "Your chickens are growing very fast, and they all look very strong. It would be good if the chicken coop cover is a little bigger."
He also helped pick up a few bricks and put them in the cart, and then asked, "Brother, how much are you going to sell the cherries for?"
Song Sancheng laughed and said, "Look, if you want to eat them, just go ahead and pick them. I'll bring you a clean bag later and you can pick as many as you can. It doesn't matter what money you have!"
People are building houses for themselves, how can he sell them
Even if the villagers came to ask him, he wouldn't be able to get any money!
After all, it's just a cherry tree in front of the house, not a cherry orchard.
This is what the person in charge is afraid of.
He has plenty of money to take on these projects, and if possible, he would be willing to pay for all the cherries on the tree!
What I’m afraid of is that people don’t want money.
It’s free, so how could he have the nerve to pick more
At most, I can weigh 3 or 5 kilograms, but I still have to be thick-skinned.
But how could these cherries taste so good
He is a grown man who used to think he didn't like eating fruits, but after eating these cherries, he realized what good fruits are.
Just with this smell, he can smell three kilograms in one breath!
If you could eat a little bit every day, you would be so beautiful!
At this moment, I half-jokingly said, "Brother, your cherries are really delicious. If you don't want money, I'd be embarrassed to pick them. If you can name a price, I can buy the whole tree!"
Song Sancheng couldn't agree with that: "Why are you wrapping it? It's our own food, and you're still being polite. If you want to eat it, just pick it. Don't mention the money. My old man and I have to quickly fix the chicken coop on the mountain. Pick it yourself. Don't be polite!"
After saying this, he pushed the cart and ran away.
They also had to demolish the wall behind the chicken coop and then lengthen it. Otherwise, the 2.5-meter-long tail feathers of the long-tailed pheasant could not fit in, which would look so uncomfortable!
Cover it during the day when the chickens are outside eating. It won’t make much noise and won’t scare them.
Of course, it also depends on whether the pheasant can accept the noise when incubating eggs... If not, then give it a piece of cabbage.
Alas, it was just as Tan Tan said, a pure hot potato.
The person in charge looked at the cherry tree with disappointment, feeling both expectation and regret.
He was not unnecessarily polite. If he wanted to eat, he could just pick it. So he naturally walked directly to the tree and took down the net. However, as soon as he got into the net, he felt something was wrong outside.
I peeked in and saw—wow!
There were just a group of five or six squirrels standing on the ruins at the door, jumping and looking at him!
Little ones, now it's your turn to just watch!
He chuckled, reached out and grabbed the nearest bunch of red cherries, then pulled them off and stuffed them into his mouth, his expression exaggerated and intoxicated: "So sweet! So delicious!"
Although he didn't know whether the squirrel could understand what he said, his sigh seemed to stimulate it.
Unexpectedly, it was really stimulating.
He saw the group of squirrels jumping and squeaking on the ruins, as if they were cursing at him from a distance.
One of them, I don’t know if it was the one from last night, picked up a small piece of cement sand at its feet and threw it over with a “bang”.
Of course, it didn't have much strength, so it couldn't throw it far, and it fell to the ground before it reached the cherry tree.
But this wave made the person in charge even more complacent, and he became even more boastful:
"Hmm... Cherries are so delicious! I can eat them, but you can't, hahaha!"
As she was smiling, she felt someone's gaze on her. She turned her head and saw Song Tan, Qiao Qiao, Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun. The four of them were standing in front of her, all with complicated looks.
Person in charge: …
They looked at each other in silence.
After a long while, Zhang Yanping finally laughed awkwardly: "Uncle, you... you really like cherries."
He probably didn't feel comfortable saying it out loud, so he could only comment dryly at this moment.
The person in charge's face turned red with embarrassment.
He quickly tried to make amends: "I'm not... I usually... I'm mainly... well, there was a group of squirrels that came to steal the cherries, and I was mainly trying to provoke them!"
He finished speaking these incoherent words and turned his head to look, but saw no trace of the squirrel on the ruins, not even a hair!
Song Tan smiled considerately: "Uncle, if you want to eat, just pick them. There is no need to..."
As he spoke, he took out a clean plastic bag from his arms: "My dad sent me a message asking me to bring this for you. Just pick as many as you want."
"But you can't leave the cherries alone. It's best to pick as many as you can eat."
As he spoke, he made room for her: "Qiao Qiao, it's up to you."
Qiao Qiao also glanced at the person in charge, then picked up the small basket in his hand and started digging on the tree.
