Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said to the landlord: "Your yard is comfortable to live in, and the neighbors are all warm-hearted people. There will definitely be good tenants to rent the yard."
The landlord smiled proudly after hearing this: "Your master and uncle are very discerning. My yard is popular with people. Everyone who has lived there said it is good."
The landlord left happily. Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan who was sitting under the eaves: "This The street is an old street. If the rain is heavy, the drains will be blocked easily. "
Shi Zelan was surprised: "Did the neighbors help open the drains when it rained before?"
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and nodded: "They said we were just tenants, and they didn't tell us these things."
Shi Zelan sighed: "No wonder the landlord would rather go through the trouble of renting out the yard than sell it at a high price."
While the two of them were talking, they went into the kitchen to boil water and make a pot of vegetable soup.
"Sister Lan, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, shall we continue going up the mountain?"
"Okay.
Master said that the weather will be hot in a month. At that time, we Leave the capital.”
"Sister Lan, are you reluctant to let go of the people and things on this street?"
"A little reluctant, and I don't know what happened to the little widow, and I haven't heard anyone mention it."< br>
Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan dumbfounded: "Are you concerned about the little widow's affairs at this time?"
"I don't care about her, I only care about the progress of the incident."
The next day, when they went out, they saw people waiting outside the courtyard gate.
Xiao Yingzi came over happily and took Shi Zelan's hand: "Xiao Lanzi, when the rain stops, I will say that you will definitely go up the mountain."
Shi Zelan looked at her: "It will be very hard to go up the mountain today. , you have to be prepared to endure hardship."
"I know, you use the same words every time to scare me."
Xiao Yingzi did not take Shi Zelan's words to heart, but she was the one. After hearing Shi Zelan's words, the brother turned back to the yard and took out a small bag of things.
The group of them left the city and saw many people seeing them off outside the city gate.
When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan passed by, they looked carefully at the people who were leaving and the expressions on their faces.
After they passed by, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan: "The people who are seeing them off have a kind of smugness that cannot be hidden in them."
Shi Zelan nodded: "The people who are leaving have old faces. There is a kind of calm relief in the world.
The young people are not discouraged. They still have a chance to come back."
Xiao Yingzi turned to look at the city gate again and looked at Shi Zelan. Said: "They were not very sincere in their farewell."
Shi Zelan was surprised and said: "We have already sent you out of the city, aren't you sincere enough?"
"Of course, if we go further, there is a farewell pavilion. Everyone can sit in the pavilion and talk.
< br>Those who are seeing off can also invite those who are leaving to have some food and then comfort each other."
After hearing this, Shi Zelan looked at Xiao Yingzi and said, "If this delay continues, those who are seeing off don't have to worry. Can’t others get to the inn before dark?”
After hearing this, Shi Xiaoliu asked the young man: “When you say goodbye, are there many details?”
The four young people said: "Our family has never sent off relatives and friends to leave the capital.
I just heard that it should be more grand and sent to the farewell pavilion so that everyone can say goodbye properly."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan secretly exchanged glances. Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Sending him out of the city gate, I think it is very sincere."
The four young people looked at Shi Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, when you are leaving, we will definitely send you to the farewell pavilion."
"You send us to the farewell pavilion, and then make sure that we don't get to where we want to stay before it gets dark. The inn?" After listening to Shi Xiaoliu's words, the four young people looked at each other and said, "We will send you to the city gate, will you think that we are very insincere to you?"
"No, in fact, we feel that we are very sincere when we send them to the street entrance."
After Shi Xiaoliu spoke to the teenagers, he sent a message to Shi Zelan: "When we left , it’s better not to disturb the neighbors.”
Shi Zelan agreed: “Uncle and Master definitely don’t like to disturb too many people.”
The leaves on the mountain were all covered with rain. Emerald green.
Xiao Yingzi was very happy after seeing it and said: "I heard that you can dig bamboo shoots. When we collect herbs, can we also dig bamboo shoots back?"
After listening to her words, her brother turned around and asked her: "You see Are there any bamboos on this mountain?”
“Yes, we have been here several times, but we have never seen bamboo growing on the mountain.”
This time, they did not stop at the bottom of the mountain. It's a direct climb up the mountain.
When they were halfway up the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu stopped and said to them: "You can pick some herbs here. Do you want to stay and pick herbs?"
Four young people asked Shi Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, do you have any other plans?"
"We want to go to the top of the mountain. When we came last year, we saw tea trees on the mountain. Yesterday Suddenly I wanted to pick some tea leaves and fry them myself."
The four young people immediately said: "We will climb up with you."
Shi Zelan asked Xiao Yingzi: "Are you tired? ?”
Xiao Yingzi immediately stared at her: “Don’t think of leaving me halfway, I want to go with you, and I have to climb up.”
When they climbed to the top of the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were naturally the first to see the eight growing tea trees.
Shi Xiaoliu said to the teenagers: "Now is the right time to pick spring tea. If it is one month later, the tea will become summer tea."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan picked tea leaves After showing it to them, they both picked the tea with their hands.
Xiao Yingzi could not match the speed of the teenagers in picking tea at first, but soon her hands were much more flexible than the teenagers.
On this day they were picking tea, so naturally they had no time to pick herbs.
In the evening, the teenagers and Xiao Yingzi came to see Shi Xiaoliu frying tea leaves.
The kitchen is not big, and there are many people standing there, so Shi Zelan walked out of the kitchen door directly.
After seeing her, Xiao Yingzi followed Shi Zelan out of the kitchen door and stood in the yard. She took a deep breath.
"Xiao Lanzi, I think the tea smells really good."
Shi Zelan looked at her and laughed: "Do you wash your tea before drying it?"
< br>
Xiao Yingzi nodded: "It's a pity that there is no sun for a while."
"What you just watched is the completion. Do you want to go in and watch the fried tea again?"
Xiao Yingzi After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "My brother is in the kitchen, so I won't compete with him for the position."
Shi Zelan laughed: "We have to go up the mountain to pick tea leaves tomorrow, why don't you go?" Right?”
“Go, I’ll have some free time at home, and my mother-in-law will talk to me about some things.”
"I think what my aunt said makes sense."
"I also think what my aunt said makes sense, but there won't be many opportunities to pick tea with you."
Shi Zelan Looking at her and smiling: "This time you are not sad that we will be separated one day." (End of Chapter)
