The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 113: Father and Son Meet
The children replied in unison: "Teacher, we are picking grapefruits."

Liu Li: "I didn't see where the grapefruit tree is? Is it over there?"

Liu Li pointed to the distance,
Accidentally asked out.

"Hahahahaha..."

The children laughed out loud.

"Teacher, this is the pomelo garden."

Liu Li looked at the trees around him that were not as tall as his waist. The leaves would be the same as grapefruit trees, but the round trees looked like tea trees in a tea garden from a distance.Where can I find grapefruit.

Liu Li: "Is this a grapefruit tree just planted? It hasn't blossomed yet?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The children laughed again.

"Teacher, these are old trees, and they all bear fruit. Take a good look..."

Liu Li approached a tree and looked left and right. There were only leaves on the tree. How could there be pomelo?

"Has it already been picked by you?"

A child from Tanghe Village couldn't help laughing and said, "Teacher, this is Aiwanyou. Many people don't know where Aiwanyou grows. You can see it below."

He knelt down and pointed to the tree.

Liu Li also squatted down like him and took a look. Sure enough, under the umbrella-like bushes, there were many fruits, some hanging three or four grapefruits, some had five or six grapefruits, and some grapefruits were already close to the ground. contacted.There are dense branches and leaves outside, and you can't see the inner world at all, so it's no wonder that you are going to make a joke.

Ha ha.It turned out that Ai Wanyou got its name like this, and it really lived up to its name.

Liu Li took out his mobile phone and lay down on the ground for a while to shoot wildly, still thinking about it, it's so cute and interesting.

Liu Li: "You are all here to help, aren't you going to school today?"

"Teacher, today is the picking festival in the village. Our school has a holiday and came here to help."

"Every year when we harvest, we have to take a busy farming holiday."

"Oh, I see."

Liu Li looked around, wondering where Grandpa and Teacher Zhu were?Don't waste time looking around, just help here.

"Oh, then welcome me to join you?"

"Of course you are welcome. Teacher, here are the scissors for you."

A child handed him the scissors.

Liu Li put away the phone, took the scissors, squatted down and cut a grapefruit, carefully put it into the basket.

Ha ha, it's still a great sense of accomplishment.

Grapefruits are big, and the basket will be full if you can't hold a few.

Liu Li returned the scissors to the student and said, "Go ahead, I'll send this basket down."

Children are small and suitable for picking grapefruits, and the adults will do the carrying work.

Liu Li can move a basket by himself.

Follow the direction pointed by the children out of the pomelo garden and walk on a road down the mountain.

This path was not one he had traveled before.

Quite a few people, or two carrying it, or one person carrying the bamboo basket, gathered on this road from different places and went down the mountain.

Move the baskets to the side of the road, and a special person is responsible for counting and loading them away.

Liu Li took a few empty baskets and went up the mountain again.

People kept coming down from above.

Walking to a steep place, two people carrying oranges came down.

The person in front bowed his head and was walking cautiously, but unexpectedly his foot slipped, he couldn't stop, and rushed forward.

Liu Li threw away the basket in his hand and rushed up to block him.

"Be careful……"

Because of Liu Li's obstruction, the man slowed down, stood firm, and did not fall.

The people behind grabbed the basket vigorously, and they were relieved when they saw that he had stabilized. "Old Liu, put it down quickly, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

The man looked up.

Liu Li took a look, "Dad, why is it you? Why are you here?"

Liu Jianguo: "Give me a hand, put down the basket first..."

Liu Li quickly took a basket of oranges and put them on the side of the road.

The person behind said: "It's a young man after all. It's a bit difficult for two people to lift it, but he can lift it by himself."

Liu Li: "Dad, are you okay?"

Liu Jianguo stretched his waist and said, "It's okay."

"Old Liu, this is your son. The young man is pretty good. His reaction is fast enough. Otherwise, we both have to overturn here today..."

"Dad, uncle, take a break, I'll send this basket down first."

Liu Jianguo: "See if there are any hoes, shovels and other things, and bring them up to repair this place, otherwise people behind may fall."

The person behind said: "Yes, yes, dig here, Lao Liu, the two of us will guard here and meet the people who come down from behind."

"it is good."

Shout loudly to remind everyone: "Hey, those behind, be careful, it's a bit steep here."

Liu Li moved down a basket of oranges, and didn't have time to ponder why his father was here.

I asked the villagers who weighed by the road if they had tools like hoes.

"What do you want a hoe for?"

Liu Li talked about the situation just now.

The man said: "Oh, you have to take care of this, don't fall on anyone. We are used to running on mountain roads. Today, many leaders from the city are not used to it..."

Calling a villager to help him weigh the scales, he walked towards a thatched shed and came out with a hoe in a short while.
Follow Liu Li to where Liu Jianguo and the others are standing.

Liu Jianguo: "Come on, come on, fix this place quickly."

This villager looks like a good hand at work.

After a while, this slightly sloping place was dug into a stepped shape.

Liu Li: "It's all right now, walk down slowly step by step, and you won't be afraid."

Liu Jianguo: "Let's go, let's continue. I haven't participated in such a large-scale labor for many years, and I have enough fun today..."

"Old Liu, you can take it easy, it's no wonder you don't feel any pain when you go back tonight?"

Liu Jianguo: "It hurts as long as it hurts, but now I am happy..."

"Yes, yes, yes, pain and happiness. Let's go, keep going."

The two walked up one after the other.

Liu Li followed silently.

Liu Jianguo knew that Liu Li was teaching in Qingfeng Village, but he didn't expect the father and son to meet here in this way.

"Aren't you in Qingfeng Village? Why are you here?"

Ah, is Dad asking him?

"Oh... almost all the people from our Qingfeng Village are here. They are here to visit and study. I came with Teacher Zhu..."

"Zhu Xia? Is she there?"

"Well, and my grandfather."

Grandpa?

Liu Jianguo lost his mind for a moment.

It took a while to remember who Liu Li's grandfather was.

"Is the old man in good health?"

"Okay, he and Mr. Zhu are at the lemon garden, and we should see you later."

Liu Jianguo was mentally prepared to meet his father-in-law, but not now.

He wanted to visit after going to Qingfeng Village.

After the poverty alleviation cadres they transferred from the city arrived in Baima Town, Liu Jianguo voluntarily applied to go to Taiping Township. The town leaders had already agreed, and Liu Jianguo decided to report to Taiping Township after the picking festival.

I didn't expect to meet Liu Li here unexpectedly today, and to see my father-in-law in advance.
