Chapter 131
Chapter 131
After the Mao Maos were completely weaned, Shen Wuqiu was finally freed from the day and night life of a mother.
Ever since Father Shen opened the door to the new world of online shopping, he just watched it with his mobile phone when he had nothing to do. In this era of big data, the major online platforms are like roundworms in his stomach, and they follow his preferences every time. Come to recommend, not to mention that young people who know the routines can't stand the temptation, and Father Shen who doesn't know the routines even buys it without hesitation.
Coupled with the fact that there are wealthy uncles and grandmas at home, the two of them went home to buy toys for the Mao Maos as if competing with each other, which just satisfied the cubs' strong curiosity and desire to explore.
The cubs either jumped up and down to unlock new toys every day, or the sisters wrestled and gnawed in groups. Basically, as long as Shen Wuqiu didn't sway in front of them, the cubs wouldn't take the initiative to pester her as a mother.
At the beginning, Shen Wuqiu was worried, for fear that the neighbors would see through his unusual group of cubs, so every day when he got up, he had to tell a few cubs not to play transformation in front of others.
After being anxious for a few days, Shen Wuqiu was relieved to see his cubs behaving like fur balls steadily.
Without the cubs pestering her, she thought that her maternity leave should be about the same, and she should find something to do.
It just so happened that the weather was good recently, and Uncle Zheng was not idle. Two days ago, he and Shen Wuqiu applied for a fee, intending to use it to maintain the fruit trees in Xishan.
Although the current survival rate of these bayberry trees is good, but these are big trees, if the maintenance is not in place later, they may still die.
Shen Wuqiu hasn't visited the red bayberry since the fruiting season ended. This time, she went around with Uncle Zheng and the others. She is not a professional fruit grower, and she can't see anything good or bad, so she can only tell Uncle Zheng I will silently remember it in my heart.
After circling around the bayberry garden, she walked up to the ponkan garden, where Duan Guodong was leading an old man to fertilize the ponkan trees.
"Hey, big sister is confinement, can't wait to come out and let the wind go?" Seeing her coming, Duan Guodong was a little surprised.
The area of Xishan is neither big nor small. Shen Wuqiu was afraid that Uncle Zheng would be too busy alone, so she arranged for Duan Guodong to come here at the beginning. The top leaders of the orchard, the two of them will make arrangements for themselves. Uncle Zheng is in charge of the bayberry garden below, and Duan Guodong is in charge of the ponkan garden above. Taking the initiative to talk to Uncle Zheng is also the meaning of treating Uncle Zheng as the boss.
Shen Wuqiu smiled and asked him: "Why don't you invite more people?"
"It's not because of the good weather recently. I also think that the fat and water will not flow into outsiders' fields, right? I see that my father has nothing to do at home, so I brought him in to help. Thinking that our father and son have been busy for ten days and a half months. It can be done." Duan Guodong has always been like this when he talks, no matter what he says, he feels like he is joking with others.
As he spoke, he walked into the garden. Not long after, he came out again with two more ponkans in his hand.
"Uh..." Shen Wuqiu's eyes brightened slightly, "Ponkan trees also bear fruit?"
"When I was transplanting, I saw a few trees that looked like they were about to bloom. I thought they wouldn't bear fruit this year." Duan Guodong gave her the ponkans, "I counted them. There are so many trees. Three plants formed, one plant produced eighteen, but in the end there were only three left; one plant produced five, but the whole army was wiped out; there was another plant, and one plant formed, well, this is it.”
Shen Wuqiu took the ponkan and looked it over carefully, "It looks a bit malnourished, the skin is almost yellow, is it ripe?"
"It will be sweeter after frosting. But you can pick it now, but the fresh ponkan fruit may be a bit sour. When there is a large amount of fruit in the next year or the next year, it will taste better when you pick it and store it for a period of time. Would you like to pick it first? Try it?"
Shen Wuqiu nodded.
The fresh ponkan peel is rich in juice, she peeled half of it, and the greenish-yellow juice was all over her hands, and at the same time, the sour taste came over her face.
As soon as she smelled the smell, she was a little afraid to say, "It smells sour."
"This is the smell of ponkan peel."
Shen Wuqiu glanced at him, then broke off the peeled half and gave it to him, "Why don't you try it first."
Duan Guodong looked fearless, took the ponkan and put it in his mouth in one gulp.
Shen Wuqiu looked at him, "Is it sour?"
Duan Guodong looked as usual, "It doesn't count, it's quite even (delicious)."
When Shen Wuqiu heard the words, she also broke off a piece, but as soon as her teeth broke through the pulp, her whole mouth was so sore that it was about to twist, and she quickly spit out the pulp.
Duan Guodong laughed loudly, and then his whole face was twisted with sourness, but he still bit the bullet and ate the half of the ponkan.
After Shen Wuqiu vomited, he drank several sips of water to rinse his mouth, and then he felt better, "Why is this so sour?"
"This is normal." Duan Guodong is not worried, "They may also be unaccustomed to the environment, and it will be fine after a year or two of raising them."
Shen Wuqiu saw his nonsensical tone, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Aren't you worried that our fruit seedlings are not selected well? Isn't it a waste of effort by then?"
"No." Duan Guodong said confidently: "In recent years, the country has vigorously developed the rural economy, and the fruit trees put into the countryside are basically improved varieties. As long as they are properly maintained, basically there will be no major problems."
Finally said something reliable.
Duan Guodong gave her another ponkan, "This one is from another tree. Although the two I picked earlier were a bit sour, they were much sweeter than the one you just picked. Do you want to try again?"
Shen Wuqiu shook his head again and again, "Leave it to you."
Duan Guodong laughed at her, "I really didn't lie to you this time. Besides, I think it should be sweeter if it grows in a sunny place."
Shen Wuqiu still doesn't want it.
Duan Guodong stuffed it into her hands, "You have to have confidence in your fruit trees."
The so-called kindness is hard to turn down.
Shen Wuqiu had no choice but to take it, wiped it, and stuffed the fruit into the pocket of his coat.
After chatting with her for a while, Duan Guodong was busy again.
Shen Wuqiu greeted his father, and then he didn't stay for long, walked around and went back down the mountain.
When I went back, I happened to see Su Zhongmin and Wu Xiulan parking outside the iron gate.
"Hi, Wuqiu, come back..." Wu Xiulan just jumped off the tricycle and greeted her in three steps at a time.
Shen Wuqiu squeezed out a smile, hesitated for a few seconds, and then called out to them, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt."
Wu Xiulan stopped abruptly, her expression was also startled, and after a few seconds, she responded excitedly several times: "Hey hey..."
This really flattered them.
When Shen Wuqiu was young, he didn't talk to them during Chinese New Year or holidays, and he didn't want to give red envelopes. Now he is not as indifferent as he was when he was a child, but he doesn't take the initiative to ask people. If he has something to say, he just says it.
Their reaction made Shen Wuqiu feel a little uncomfortable, she raised her hand and brushed her hair, and changed the subject, "Why are you free to come here today? It seems that you didn't hear what mom said."
She called for her second uncle and second aunt, firstly because of the face of Su Yunzhi as a stepmother, secondly, she also felt that the couple were sincere to her, not to mention anything else, it was the full moon gift of her own cub, this The second aunt sent a sweater knitted by herself.Although it may not be useful, it can be regarded as the wishes of the elders.
"It's nothing." Wu Xiulan was afraid she would feel that she was causing trouble, "We put down our things and left."
While talking, she asked Su Zhongmin to move things from the tricycle, "Recently, the wild kiwis on our mountain are ripe, and the weather is fine recently, and they are quite sweet, so I'll send you some here, and you all should try it." fresh."
It can be seen that the two couples are not smooth-talking people, Wu Xiulan blushed when she spoke, she spoke quickly and urgently, fearing that Shen Wuqiu would refuse, after carrying down a few baskets, she hurried to the yard move.
"Wild kiwi fruit?" Shen Wuqiu heard it for the first time, and took one from the basket. Except that it was not so hairy and smaller in size, it was not much different from the kind of kiwi fruit bought in fruit shops, "Is this true?" Wild, or just the kiwi variety you grow?"
"It's wild, it grows on the mountain itself." Seeing that she didn't refuse, Wu Xiulan introduced to her enthusiastically, "Don't worry, it's all natural, without any medicine. The ones in the basket here are It has been covered at home for a few days, and it can be eaten. The two baskets here are freshly picked in the past two days, and it is estimated that it will have to be covered for two days, otherwise it may be a little bitter."
"This is too much, you have to keep some for yourself."
"No, no, no. This year we went to pick it early, and picked five or six hundred catties. There are still a lot at home. If you like it, give us a call..."
While talking, Su Yunzhi came out of the house when he heard the movement. Seeing his second brother and second sister-in-law, he was not very enthusiastic, "Why don't you come inside the house, why are you standing outside?"
As soon as she came out, the few rolling in the room immediately moved upon hearing the wind, ran out one by one, and came straight to Shen Wuqiu's feet, "Meow~"
"I still have something to do at home, so I'll bring you something and come back, so I don't bother to go into the house." Wu Xiulan talked to Su Yunzhi from a distance, and when she felt something at her feet, she looked down and saw that it was a small orange fur ball. She looked over, and the little orange fur ball also looked up at her, "Meow~"
【You are so sweet, what are you hiding~】
Wu Xiulan couldn't understand meows, but she didn't show any dislike for the big white cat that the Shen family loved so much before, and this fat furball was really cute. Looking at the fat hairball, he replied: "Meow..."
She couldn't understand, but Shen Wuqiu, a mother, could understand, she felt extremely ashamed, and quickly picked up Si Mao, "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Wu Xiulan quickly shook her head, "No, no, do these kittens belong to your family? They are all so cute."
Shen Wuqiu just smiled, and hugged the two who were still tirelessly pulling her pants off and fighting for favor, and said hello to Da Mao and A Mi who were obediently standing aside, and then followed Su Yunzhi to persuade Wu Xiulan and the others The couple: "It's rare to come here, let's go after eating."
"No need, the traffic is so convenient now, it's not as good as before." Wu Xiulan waved her hand, and pointed to the baskets in the yard, "I know you don't lack anything, but everyone says it's delicious and nutritious. If you If you like it, just call."
"You are really too polite."
"Why are you being polite..." Wu Xiulan said as she walked to the tricycle with Su Zhongmin, and they refused to listen to any persuasion. After saying hello, the two drove back in the tricycle.
Shen Wuqiu and the others stood at the gate, watching the couple drive away before moving the three big baskets of kiwis in.
"Oh, so many kiwis, where did you buy them?" Zhao Jiujiu just came out of the bathroom and saw several baskets of kiwis in the hall, so he asked casually, and wanted to taste one as he spoke.
"Auntie, you took the basket over there." Shen Wuqiu pointed to a basket for her, "Second Uncle Wu Jun sent it over just now, they said it was picked wild from the mountain, so they brought some for us to try."
"Wild ones, ouch, this is really... It's a good thing. It just so happens that I've been a little angry these days and have ulcers in my mouth." Zhao Jiujiu picked the soft one.
"Aunt has eaten before?"
"I've eaten it, and someone gave it to me before." Zhao Jiujiu said while peeling the skin familiarly.
As a result, just after peeling the skin and before it was brought to his mouth, Si Mao cut off his beard.
"..."
Simao is really delicious, it's delicious to eat.
"..." The corners of Zhao Jiujiu's mouth twitched, "No wonder you're so fat."
