Chapter 9 Almost Got Hit
When his father was explaining herbal medicine to him, Ye Junluan rolled his hands on some of the herbs his father was talking about.
While his father was not paying attention, he collected the herbs into the pagoda space.
Ye Xinfa was enthusiastically educating his son. Before going out, he had this idea. He brought a bamboo basket and a backpack. Today he will supervise people to pick fruits and take some fruits home by the way!
Lychee season has arrived, so give gifts to those who deserve them!
He is not giving random gifts, just a few close relatives!
Ye Xinfa picked up the medicine for knife wounds and put it in a basket.
Ye Junluan met Purple-backed Taurus, Sanyahu, Five-fingered Niu Nai, and Flying Spider.
The samples are all in the pagoda space. You can use these herbs when you go up the mountain!
What’s a pity is that the path his father took him up the mountain was filled with herbs, which were not all the medicine for iron wounds.
Five-fingered beef is the only one that can be used to make soup. It is a tree and fruit that nourishes the stomach.
When we arrived at the lychee garden, Aunt Jian’s son Jian Erniu and his daughter-in-law were already picking lychees with great enthusiasm.
The lychee tree is relatively tall, so it is necessary to have someone cut the branches on it. Others who do not cut the branches will use bamboo poles to clamp them down.
Looking at basket after basket of red and big lychees, and bunches of them.
Ye Junluan drooled and hurried over to pick lychees to eat!
Seeing how anxious his son was, Ye Xinfa kept shouting: "Son, slow down, be careful. Oh, you kid, we have so many lychees here, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat them?"
When Ye Xinfa said this, he looked at the people picking lychees and was really worried that the people on the tree would drop the branches and hit his son!
He quickly went to hug his son, and then carried his son away. A little further away, a big branch fell down from where they were standing just now!
Ye Xinfa broke out in a cold sweat and glared at the villager on the tree. He did not reprimand, but only felt happy!
Fortunately, he took his son away quickly.
After being frightened, he sternly reprimanded his son:
"Don't come near, got it? You see how dangerous it is. If you want to eat lychees, just ask someone to bring you a basket. You don't have to pick them yourself." Do you know that you are a child? "
Face such a serious father, Ye Junluan is not afraid of him. The adult soul knows that his father cares about him!
"Well, Dad asked someone to bring the lychees over!"
Ye Xinfa nodded. His son was still young, so he taught him slowly and couldn't be too serious with him, for fear of scaring him.
Neither the father nor the son noticed that the villagers who were chopping lychees from the tree just now, when they saw the captain taking the little fool away, their eyes flashed with pity!
The captain has lost his family without his son, so he has to recruit a son-in-law to come to his house. He has more sons, which just happens to seize the captain's family property!
The captain's house is big, and he has relatives working in the provincial capital. He has the best food and power.
This villager's surname is Deng. There are more people with this surname in the village than those with the surname Jian. They are not considered rich. They are all farmers who rely on working to make a living.
The captain gave birth to seven daughters before giving birth to a son. The son he gave birth to was weak and other families had so many sons. People in the village gossiped that the captain must be too wicked and wanted to have no offspring.
"Jian Erniu, come here, fill up this beetle, and send it to my house soon!"
Ye Xinfa did not take the public property as his own. The village produced specialties, so he used money to buy some and send them to me. To my family in the provincial capital.
“Okay, Captain!” Jian Erniu ran over and took away the backpack!
"Jian Erniu, bring a bunch of lychees for the baby to eat!"
"Okay, baby, you can eat!" Jian Erniu was attentive and took two big and bright bunches. Red lychee!
Ye Xinfa took two large bunches of lychees and did not feed them all to his son. He just picked one lychee and asked his son to peel it and eat it by himself!
Ye Junluan peeled the lychee open and saw the white flesh and red shell. When he bit into it, there was only a tiny core.
The lychee filled his mouth with a sweet taste. While eating, he looked up at Ye Xinfa and said, "Dad, what kind of lychee is this? It's so big and sweet!"
Ye Xinfa also peeled the lychee open. Eat, and educate your son about the lychee trees grown at home. Pointing to two trees that look the same, but are of different varieties:
"Son, have you seen it? That lychee tree, Mingjiao calls it Nuomi Ci, is one of the high-quality lychee varieties in our county. The other tree is called Xiangli.
There is a legend in it. There used to be The emperor was tired after visiting here , pick lychees to eat, and put the robe on the tree, there will be traces of green on the tree."
Ye Junluan is observing carefully. He has good eyesight, but it doesn't look like what his father said! There are green dragon marks on the tree!
"Dad, are you telling a story? Your lychee tree doesn't have the dragon shadow at all."
Ye Xinfa laughed:
"Son, if this lychee tree had the legendary lychee tree, how could I be just a captain?
I should have been promoted. With such a lychee tree, it had been poached long ago. How could I let it happen? Are we here to enjoy the wealth brought by the lychee trees?”
Ye Junluan nodded and said that he understood that there are rules for everything these days. It seems that there are many fields in their village, and as long as you work hard, you can have enough food. .
No chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used in planting. It is all done by hand, and there is no scientific cultivation. There are no excellent varieties. When the weather is bad, the grain production is small, the family has a small labor force, and there are many children. of…….
Everything is restricted these days. Even if you have money, you can’t buy good items. You can only rely on tickets.
Farmers can't get any votes all year round.
Ye Junluan heard the twists and turns in his father's words. In the past few years, there was not much food left, not much money left, maybe only a little property left by the ancestors.
No matter how chaotic it is outside, everyone has to eat!
Ye Junluan ate two different varieties of lychees, and he only ate a few.
My father refused to eat it. He was a little reluctant to give it up. He didn’t know what he said about one lychee and three fires. He also said that he would let his mother make herbal tea for him when he got home!
Ye Xinfa took his son up the mountain, just to watch those people working, and then left the matter to the manager!
He asked someone to carry the basket of lychees down the mountain, and he carried his son down the mountain!
Ye Junluan kept looking up the mountain while he was in his father's arms, and saw banana trees, plantain trees, plum trees, pear trees, and orange trees.
The plums have already been picked and sold, the pears have not grown up yet, the oranges are still small, and the banana trees and plantain trees can still have fruits.
Just now his father didn't let him get close to the lychee tree, and he couldn't put some lychees into the space.
He felt regretful and must find a way to let his father know that he had the ability to store food.
How to say this?
I have to figure it out quickly so that my parents can believe that I can hide all the belongings and food at home!
"Dad, have the eggs from the chickens we raised been sold?" Ye Junluan thought of it and could hoard the eggs!
“We can’t finish the food at home, so why don’t we sell it? The weather is starting to get hot, and the eggs will smell bad!” Ye Xinfa is usually reluctant to eat eggs. If there are eggs on the table, he usually eats them. son!
The family raised dozens of chickens and a lot of eggs. They moved all the eggs to my uncle to sell.
"Dad, let's stock up on some eggs. We can pickle the eggs with salted eggs or preserved eggs!" Ye Xinfa came up with another idea!
"Why do we do that? We have raw eggs to eat at home, so why waste salt and hand-made preserved eggs? Why is our family so particular about food?"
Ye Xinfadi One reaction is that nothing should be wasted. The stingy first thought is that it is a waste of manpower and materials!
"Dad, it's drought outside, and our family has food orders that have been sold. What if our harvest here is not good and we don't have enough food to eat?"
Ye Junluan said worriedly.
"You are a child, why do you know these things? These are what adults should think about!"
Ye Xinfa thinks the same as many adults, a child doesn't understand anything , asking this and that, I just feel annoyed!
Ye Junluan..., we can’t talk today!
