Chapter 39 Lychee
Chapter 39 Lychees

The first few lychee seedlings on the island have now grown into big trees, and many new lychee seedlings have emerged around them.

I have been planting lychees for ten years, and ten days have passed. It seems that these trees have already set fruit for one or two rounds, but every time Li Junge came in, he missed the fruiting period and never saw it.

There are also many small seedlings around the white tea tree, these are new discoveries.

After moving all the seedlings to the ground, Li Junge saw that the lychee tree was blooming with small flowers, so he decided to see how the fruit was doing today.

When you come to the top of the lake outside the island and look at the island again, the situation on the island appears as if fast forward.

First, the flowers withered, and then some small green fruits the size of peppercorns were produced.

The small green fruits gradually become larger, and the branches are gradually pulled down and drooped in bunches.

The fruit grows to a certain extent and begins to slowly change color.

It was cyan at first, and then slowly turned yellow, each of which was golden hanging on the branches.

Then, Li Junge noticed that lychees started to fall down.

"Oh, I can't wait any longer." The lychees were already ripe when they all started to fall down, and Li Junge immediately cut himself into the island.

Standing under the tree, Li Junge lost his mind.

The island is full of the fragrance of fresh lychees.

Li Junge took a breath, and bursts of the unique sweet aroma of lychee came.

"It smells so good!" Li Junge looked up at the fruitful lychee tree: "But why is it this color? And it's too big!"

Each lychee is the size of an egg, and the fruit is bright yellow with a hint of green inside, which is really beautiful.

Pick off a lychee and peel it off. The crystal clear flesh is like a clear jelly, and you can faintly see the brown-red lychee core inside.

Once it was pushed away, the sweet fragrance at the end of the nose became more intense.

I took a bite of the lychee, and a sweet taste spread in my mouth, and every taste bud seemed to be cheering.

"It's so delicious!" Li Junge finished eating in two bites and threw the fruit core away.Started to eat like crazy.

After eating until his stomach was full, Li Junge lay under the tree, looking at the fruitful lychees and worrying.

This thing can't tell where it came from, so it can't be moved outside.

"Forget it, we have to figure out a way later." Li Junge twitched the corners of his mouth, picked a few catties of lychees, and prepared to give them to the lobby brother and the others to try.

Coming out of the island, looking back, the island began to fast forward again. Seeing the egg-sized lychees falling down, Li Junge felt his heart throbbing.

"That's all, I'll be raising seedlings!" Li Junge immediately cut out from the space.

Carrying a bag of lychees downstairs, Li Junge saw his nephew Li Yuning and niece Li Yuduo coming in together.

Li Yuning is the son of the eldest brother, and Li Yuduo is the daughter of the second cousin. Since the second cousin and his wife are working outside, Li Yuduo is taken care of by the eldest brother and studies in the county.

Yu Ning is fourteen years old this year, and Yu Duo is ten years old this year.

"Come, come, it's raining and it's raining a lot, come and taste the lychees that Uncle Xiaotang bought."

Seeing Li Junge, Li Yuning ran over quickly, hugged Li Junge and jumped straight, saying: "Uncle Tang, you haven't come back for a long time! I miss you so much!"

Yu Duo followed behind and called out, "Uncle Tang." But he seemed a little shy.

Li Junge took off their schoolbags and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, and eat lychees after washing. Oh, your schoolbags are quite heavy."

After finishing, he shouted to the back kitchen: "Brother in the lobby, sister-in-law of the lobby, Fatty Liu Sanwa, take a break first, come out and try something new."

The lady in the lobby came out first, wiping her hands on her apron, and said, "I was surprised by what you bought, yo, why is this lychee so big!"

The lobby brother also came out, looked at the lychee and said, "Isn't it ripe yet? Why isn't it popular? Besides, the Jiachuan lychee won't come out for another month or so."

Li Junge said: "I don't know about it. I saw an old man selling it on the street. That's all. I'll make a round."

This is when everyone came out, Li Yuning and Li Yuduo also jumped out, shouting: "Eat lychee! Eat lychee! Oh, this lychee is so big."

The sister-in-law in the lobby first peeled one for Li Yuduo, but instead asked her son to peel it himself, and then peeled one herself.

The hall brother ate it first, took a bite, and said, "This lychee is delicious, better than the one at home."

The sister-in-law in the lobby also tasted it and said, "It's so tender, fragrant and sweet, without any sour taste. I haven't seen this variety before."

Li Yuning jumped there and shouted: "Uncle Xiaotang, this is the best lychee I've ever eaten!"

The sister-in-law in the lobby was careful and hurriedly asked: "Pi Wa, how much did you pay for these catties of lychees?"

There is a reason for asking this question. Some of the best lychees in Jiachuan County can be sold for two to three hundred pounds, and the most exaggerated ones can be thousands. If the lychees on the table are of that kind, the price of these few pounds will be incredible. Well, if Li Junge spends money like this, the lobby sister-in-law will have to intervene, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother.

Li Junge said quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I bought it from an old farmer on the side of the street. I don't know where he got it. He gave it ten yuan a catty."

The hall brother said: "Then I picked this up! Another time I gave chicken soup to the daughter-in-law of the secretary's family. They gave me a few pieces of dark green, and they said it was hundreds of catties. I don't think it can compare to this."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Really? If everyone thinks this is good, then give me all the cores later, and I will take them home and plant them."

Li Yuning jumped up happily again: "That's great! This way, we can eat this kind of lychees every year!"

The sister-in-law in the lobby patted him on the head and said, "You silly boy, it takes ten years to grow lychees from being planted in the soil to bearing fruit! Your mother will be old by then."

Li Yuning said with a frowning face: "It's been so long?!" After doing some calculations, he said, "Wow! I'll be 24 by then! It's raining and you'll be [-] too!"

The sister-in-law in the lobby said: "Stop talking nonsense, finish eating quickly, and go upstairs to do homework!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case, this variety can't appear out of nowhere, maybe it will be everywhere in two years."

A few catties of lychees is a lot to say, but they can't stand the big ones, each of them is one or two taels, and each person has less than ten lychees, and they will finish eating in a while.

Li Junge put away the fruit cores, and it was time for dinner, so he wrapped up his apron and acted as a waiter in the shop.

When I came to the hospital that night, I found that Wang Xiaosong's parents had finally arrived from other places. Li Junge was also relieved. When the baby's parents arrived, he could also be regarded as a errand.

Wang Xiaosong's father, Wang Qingguo, ran the boat with others in Yizhou, and his wife, Zhu Fanmei, also cooked on the boat.

When Li Junge came in, Zhu Fanmei was holding Wang Xiaosong and crying like a tearful man, and Wang Qingguo was also holding Uncle Yaoshi's hand and weeping.

Wang Xiaosong himself was fine. His parents came back, and he was obviously happier than a few days ago.

Seeing Li Junge coming in, Wang Qingguo wanted to drag him to Xiaosong for protection.

Baobao is a godfather, which is also an old custom. Children are afraid of being difficult to raise, so they usually find a godfather. As the saying goes, "La Baobao". According to Wang Qingguo, Wang Xiaosong's life was brought back by Li Junge. Remember the kindness, from now on Xiaosong will be Li Junge's half son.

Li Junge declined again and again, saying: "Brother Qing Guo, this is inappropriate, I'm not even married yet."

Wang Qingguo said: "There are many godfathers who are not married. Besides, Erpi is knowledgeable and has seen the world. I am also a backer for Xiaosong. I will have to worry about you in the future."

Uncle Yaoshi also said: "I also recognize my godfather, and I think you can be worthy of being a godfather."

Li Junge said to Wang Qingguo: "Brother Qingguo, you've already said that. If I don't recognize this godfather, I'll look down on him. That's fine. I'll ask Xiaosong if he wants to."

Wang Xiaosong lay on the hospital bed, smiled happily, and said, "Godfather! Don't worry, I will be good in the future and won't embarrass you!"

Li Junge touched his head and said with a smile, "You are just too obedient and sensible!"

Just as they were talking, Wang Xue, a reporter from Shudu Daily, came, and several people began to be interviewed again.

After finishing all this, Li Junge and Uncle Yaoshi were about to leave. Wang Qingguo and his wife wanted to send them off, but several people gave way at the door for a long time. Wang Qingguo left Zhu Fanmei to take care of Xiaosong, and sent them out by himself.

Along the way, Li Junge asked Wang Qingguo about his future plans.

Wang Qingguo sighed: "This time I was really scared. Although Xiaosong is sensible, he is still an 11-year-old child. We are not planning to go out this time. Alas, we should come back and continue farming."

Uncle Yaoshi also sighed: "It's good to go out again in a few years, the baby is not guarded by parents, it's really worrying."

Wang Qingguo sighed: "It's just the boat handle style that I have learned for a few years, now it is going to be a waste."

Uncle Yaoshi and Li Junge reassured Wang Qingguo that it was more important to be a child, and we will talk about the future, and then bid farewell to Wang Qingguo at the entrance of the hospital.

The next day, I sent Uncle Yaoshi to the pier, and saw that the first flood peak had passed, the water receded a lot, and the shore near the water was covered with thick mud.

The stone steps were cleared out, and the fifth cousin Shi Baoquan stayed on the iron boat and watched the workers load the goods.

Seeing the two people coming, Shi Baoquan said: "Come over here while the flood peak is going down. Today's goods are a bit too much, so I dare not take them." Then he said: "But there is a big ship over there, which is to transport flood-fighting materials to Pan'ao Township. Yes, I think most of it is empty, I know the boss of the ship, and I have explained everything to him, so go find him."

The two went to the boat boss over there again. The boat boss was a burly man in his forties, with a beard on his face, and after a while in the Longmen formation, he was familiar with it. Li Junge entrusted Uncle Medicine Master to him, and went back to the county by himself.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Li Junge called Wang Congjun and Zhu Chaoan and invited them out for dinner.

The three met at a night beer.

Li Junge ordered a lot of braised crayfish and snails, as well as several vegetarian dishes such as edamame, peanuts and lotus root, plus a case of beer, waiting for them to come.

After a while, the two came, and Zhu Chaoan brought a beautiful girl, wearing a uniform and skirt, who seemed to be pulled over right after get off work.
