Chapter 67

Sitting in the room to eat, it was stuffy and hot, and several people decisively chose to squat on the steps to eat.

"Little Butterfly, are you ready to pick the apricots?" The young man who ate noodles coveted yellow apricots for a long time.

"Well, wait until the afternoon cools down before picking."

"okay!"

The cold noodles were refreshing, and after a while, the big basin reached the bottom. I saw the young man with his mouth pursed, looking at the bottom of the basin with grievances, and said helplessly, "Big brother, if you're not full, I can make some more."

Jing Ling, who had already eaten two bowls, shook his head, "No, save some stomach for apricots."

Hey, this uncle, he will definitely not let himself be wronged.

In the afternoon, the sun is no longer harsh, the sun is soft, and the evening breeze blows gently, not to mention how refreshing it is.

Excited huskies, dragging, pulling, pulling, and using various moves in turn, are about to hold the activity of "picking yellow apricots".

"Little butterfly, do you think it will be easier to pick if I climb up?"

Yun Xia raised her hand slightly, and picked off a yellow apricot, "Big brother, I'm still a small tree, so I can't bear your affection."

"Your surname Feng, be safe. If you break a branch and sell you, you won't be able to pay for it."

"Ah Chao, I am the richest man in Jiangcheng."

"Son! It's your parents who are rich, not you."

"It's very good, what do you want to do with them, I'll pick it up, can't you?"

After finishing speaking, he carried the bamboo basket in his left hand and picked yellow apricots in his right hand. Seeing the people behind him still not moving, he turned his head and said, "Pick it quickly, and make canned food for the godmother later."

Each family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. It is better not to inquire about other people's family affairs.

The young man snorted coldly, took a few steps forward, and reached out to pick the yellow apricots on the tall branches. Seeing this, Yun Xia smiled and joined the apricot picking army.

An An was short and couldn't reach him, but he was addicted to being short. After a while, Jiang Chao picked her up directly, and when he picked the yellow apricot, his original mournful face suddenly showed a bright smile.

The two little guys, who were full of sleep, climbed to the top of the tree in twos and threes, staring curiously at the movements of the people picking apricots, their pink and tender paws, tentatively picking at the yellow apricots.

Snapped!
The yellow apricot that fell to the ground had its pulp shattered, and the juice flowed out along the cracks.

"Make trouble, tomorrow's fish is not for you two."

The two little guys are very smart, knowing who in the family can't be messed with, and who can protect them, they quickly put on a frightened look, with wet round eyes, staring at the doll in aggrieved way.

In an instant, Yun Xia's heart melted, "Jiang Chao, why are you fighting with the cat? It can't understand what you are saying!"

"Hey! It's true that pets follow their owners, they are all little showmen."

When looking at the female doll, the eyes are aggrieved, and when looking at herself, the eyes are arrogant!
Yun Xia didn't believe a word of what he said, so she whispered softly, coaxing the two kittens, one black and one white, to come down.

It went smoothly at first, but when the little guy was halfway down, he was attracted by a fruit fly and immediately jumped up and down, doing crazy parkour.

Snapped!Snapped!
A few overripe yellow apricots couldn't withstand the shaking of the branches and fell to the ground.

What a waste!
Yun Xia's face was pained, and he roared angrily: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, if you don't stop, you won't be able to touch meat for a month."

It’s not meaty, so that’s okay. The two little guys gave up chasing the fruit flies decisively, jumped to the ground in twos and threes, their tails were raised high, the tip of the tail was bent, and their heads repeatedly rubbed against her ankles. I can't get angry.

"Go back to the house and play, don't get in the way in the yard."

Hearing this tone, he was no longer angry. The little guy looked at each other and ran back to the house in a tacit understanding.

"Cat, I want a cat!"

6 years old, the age at which cats dislike dogs, Xiao Jiangan, who has no seriousness in attacking, does not like black and white cats at all.

"An'an, the cat is in the house, can it be gone? Keep picking, don't stop!"

When the elder brother spoke, the little baby had no choice but to obey, pursed his mouth, and picked yellow apricots "hard work and hard work".

When the sky is full of sunset, the three bamboo baskets are filled with golden apricots.

"Phew, this apricot tree is very fruitful. After a lot of work, I only picked a quarter of it. Little butterfly, I want to eat canned food."

"Apricot is a high-yield fruit tree, and it's not too rare. Canned food...wait, I'll make it after a while."

"Yun Xia, why don't we do it tomorrow." After working for a long time, the girl's fair face was covered with thin sweat, Jiang Chao couldn't help but said.

"No, if you let it sit for a day, it won't be fresh, and the canned food will be bad."

As he spoke, he sat on the steps to rest, took the fan from Jiang An, and lamented the hot weather while fanning the wind.

Enough rest, get up and go to the kitchen!

Wash the yellow apricot, remove the peel and core, add rock sugar to cold water, remove the pulp when the water boils, cook for 3 minutes, remove the firewood, cover the pot, and simmer for half an hour.

Let cool, pour into oil-free and water-free glassware.

Jingjing Ling's eyes lit up, staring straight at the rows of bright yellow cans, his throat moved slightly, and he swallowed.

"Little butterfly, can I eat now?"

Yun Xia: ...Greedy, it also depends on the time!

"Yes, yes, but the yellow apricot is not very tasty, and it's not very delicious. Let's talk about it after a few days on ice."

When the weather just started to heat up, Jingjing Ling bought a double-door refrigerator with a huge sum of money, which shocked the neighbors. It is necessary to know that ordinary workers can save money for a refrigerator without eating or drinking for three years.

Wu Lifang was so frightened that she slapped her chest. She wished she could get the ticket back immediately. Jingjingling promised repeatedly that she would take the refrigerator with her when she left Jiang's house, so she reluctantly accepted.

"Pick all the fruits from the tree tomorrow and make them into cans. Hehe, I like canned food the most."

Don't eat fresh ones, have to eat canned food, I don't understand his brain circuit.

Seeing him smirking all the time, Jiang Chao rolled his eyes at him, "Tomorrow we have to divide the fish, so I don't have time to be busy with these things."

"Share the fish?"

"Oh, the sub-district office organizes cooperation with the village, pays for the fish fry, and divides the fish three times a year!"

"Tsk tsk, the wisdom of the working people is awesome!"

After sighing, seeing Jiang Chao's unkind eyes, she immediately ran away with the cans in her arms. Yun Xia shook her head helplessly, put the cans into the bamboo basket, carried them to the main room, and put them into the refrigerator one by one.

In the evening, when Aunt Wu came back from get off work, she had just parked the two-eight bars when Jing Jingling stepped forward to share the fruits of her afternoon's labor.

Wu Lifang glanced at the apricot tree in the yard, "Yes, it's time!"

After finishing speaking, he went back to the house with the big cloth bag, and when he came out again, he had a slight smile on his face. After careful observation, he could still detect the sadness hidden by the smile.

Dinner became Jingling Ling's main venue, chattering non-stop, Jiang Chao, who frowned, for the first time did not speak up to reprimand, and the female doll was no longer a supporter, Xiao Jiangan was hardworking, only Aunt Wu, occasionally A few words of agreement.

"You... what's the matter? You're fine this afternoon!" No matter how dull Jingjing Ling was, he could sense something was wrong.

Hearing this, Wu Lifang paused while picking up vegetables, her eyes dodged, her expression was flustered, and she didn't even know when the vegetables were dropped.

"Eat first, if you have anything to do, open up after dinner, Aunt Wu, don't worry about things, Jiang Chao and I are grown-ups, we can go to school, go to the kitchen, earn money, beat kidnappers."
