After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 177 Picking
Around nine o'clock, a private car slowly drove into Qinghe Village.

Although Qinghe Village is located in a remote place, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a small clear river flows slowly in front of the village, murmuring loudly.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, everything is recovering, and the breath of spring is everywhere, which makes people feel refreshed.

Miao Juan lowered the car window, breathed in the fresh mountain air, and sighed with a smile: "It's so comfortable, the air in the mountains is good, even if the strawberries don't taste good, our trip is not in vain."

Surrounded by fresh air full of green flavors, a gust of mountain wind blows head-on, instantly throwing away all worries and melancholy, and calming down to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Xu Lei and Miao Juan are usually busy with work and don't have much time to spend with their children.

This time, I heard that there is a strawberry garden in the village of Qianfeng Town, which can be picked in the garden, so I took the children to play on the weekend.

Let the children get in touch with nature and experience rural life.

According to the location information in the group, Xu Lei drove all the way to Qinghe Village.

When passing the village entrance, I saw an old man squinting his eyes sitting on the slope by the roadside, basking in the sun leisurely.

Next to it are two calves grazing slowly.

Xu Lei lowered the car window and asked the old man with a smile, "Master, I heard that there is a family in Qinghe Village who grows strawberries. Is this here?"

The old man was old and his ears were a little behind. He stood up and patted his butt, yawned, walked to the car, and asked, "What did you say?"

Xu Lei asked again patiently.

"Yes, yes, it is our village." The old man heard it clearly, and raised his finger with a smile to point not far away, "Go straight along that road, don't turn, just go to the foot of the mountain."

Xu Lei smiled and thanked, and the two children sitting in the back seat of the car also showed sweet smiles under the gesture of their mother, and expressed their thanks crisply, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man smiled even more heartily, "Hey, the little doll is so good."

Xu Lei started the car and drove away slowly.

After walking for a while, Xu Lei inadvertently looked through the rearview mirror and saw the old man still standing in place watching them off.

The stooped figure of the old man reminded him of his elderly grandparents.

I am usually busy with work and have to accompany my children on weekends, so I haven't visited the elderly for a long time.

Xu Lei suddenly said, "Let's go back early today and take the children to grandpa's house for dinner tonight."

Miao Juan smiled and said she had no objection, "Okay, let's pick some more strawberries later, and bring some over for them to taste."

While speaking, the car drove to the foot of the mountain.

The sight is a green fence, wild roses are planted around the fence, and climbing vines are climbing on the fence, as tall as half a person. Small flower buds.

The car bumped all the way, but the two children were very happy. After the car stopped, they couldn't wait to jump out of the car.

The little girl tugged at Miao Juan's hand, and asked childishly, "Mom, where are the delicious strawberries?"

The elder brother pointed to the flock of sheep not far away, jumping up and down excitedly, "Wow, there are so many lambs."

Shen Qiuqiu was already waiting for them, when he heard the sound of a car, he greeted them with a smile.

Miao Juan recognized her at a glance, "Oh, the most beautiful farmer in Tianshui, he looks even better in person than in the photo."

Shen Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed by her praise, she pursed her lips and smiled, and greeted them into the strawberry garden.

In the strawberry garden, there is a lot of greenery, dotted with small white flowers, and under the green leaves are bright red fruits, which are delicate and attractive, and the air exudes a strong aroma of strawberries.

When Manman saw the strawberries in this place, his eyes lit up instantly, "Wow, there are so many strawberries, Mom, Manman wants to eat..."

Miao Juan squatted down to coax her daughter, "You have to take it home and wash it before eating, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"No... I'm going to eat now." Man Man pouted, looking very aggrieved.

"This one is clean and can be eaten." Shen Qiuqiu smiled and handed over a small bamboo basket, which was full of small strawberries.

The little strawberries that have just been washed with water still have drops of water on them. Under the sunlight, they look extraordinarily red and attractive.

The small fruit is not worth much, but it tastes very good. Shen Qiuqiu picked some just now, and it happened to be for the guests to try right now.

Looking at the small ruby-like strawberries in the bamboo basket, I was so greedy that I was drooling.

She looked up at her mother, her big eyes flickering, as if asking, can I eat?
"Little greedy cat." Miao Juan couldn't help laughing, and raised her hand to scratch her daughter's little nose. "Before eating, what should I say to my sister?"

The little girl rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at Shen Qiuqiu, and said sweetly, "Thank you sister!"

Who wouldn't like a cute and soft girl.

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help but raised his hand to touch the little knot on her head, and said with a smile, "You're welcome."

Only then did Man Man take a small strawberry from the basket with his fleshy little paws, and eagerly stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's delicious!" Man Man squinted his eyes and exclaimed, "Mom, the strawberries are sweet, so delicious."

Shen Qiuqiu handed the bamboo basket in front of Miao Juan, "These are free to taste, you should try it too."

Miao Juan thanked her, picked up a strawberry and took a bite, her eyes lit up instantly.

This strawberry was much more delicious than the one she bought in the supermarket before. It was very fruity, sweet and sour, and filled her mouth with the aroma of strawberries.

"Delicious, this is the taste of strawberries in my memory... It's been a long time since I have eaten such delicious strawberries."

Xu Lei also echoed, "Yeah, it's indeed much tastier than the ones you bought in the supermarket before."

Shen Qiuqiu explained with a smile, "In a pure natural environment, with a suitable climate, sufficient light, and grown in the open air, strawberries that ripen naturally will taste better."

Miao Juan nodded again and again, "Before I came here, I heard that the strawberries here cost 35 pounds a catty. I thought it was a bit expensive. As expected, you get what you pay for, and it's not expensive at all."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled, handed them a few plastic picking baskets, and told them, "When picking, pay attention to the children, don't damage the fruit seedlings, and don't pick unripe fruits.

Do not eat strawberries that have not been washed, it is easy to have diarrhea. "

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the bamboo shed at the door, "Clear water and washed strawberries are prepared there. If you are tired, you can go there and rest for a while. You can eat as many strawberries as you like on the table."

Miao Juan took the picking basket and thanked her with a smile, "Okay, thank you."

A family of four, each carrying a small basket, happily went to the field.
