My village can't be like this

Chapter 180 The loquat is yellow
The two days of the weekend passed quickly, and the bustling crowd in the village had already dispersed.

There are only a few scattered tourists left, who may have just come here.

After all, many people came here on weekends.

Now that the weekend gap is over, everyone still has to go back to work.

When many people leave, they feel a little pity.

I feel that I came too late this year, and I didn't see the best cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Because during this period of time, Zhang An's cherry grove has begun to enter the flowering and withering period.

There are many flowers on the tree, and the petals have begun to fall.

Everyone said that they must come earlier next year.

But in fact, the cherry blossom forest that has just entered the blooming period has a special flavor.

Throughout the woods, as the wind blows, there are fallen flower petals floating everywhere.

It's really like the colorful scene of fallen flowers depicted in Peach Blossom Spring.

The ground is also covered with many petals, which are liked by many girls.

Among them, a girl took the lead, squatting on the ground to pick up the falling petals and put them in her hat.

Then throw it into the sky, and the whole person is in the world of falling flowers.

And the male companion next to her is capturing these beautiful moments for her.

After seeing this scene, many people followed suit.

Although not everyone has a camera, there are quite a few who bring their own.

Zhang An couldn't help but be speechless. In this era, a camera costs several thousand yuan, and better ones cost tens of thousands of yuan.

But in this forest, one-third of the people brought their own cameras.

It seems that even in this era, there are still more rich people.

But Zhang An thought about it later, those who can think about going out to play now must have good conditions at home.

After all, if you are still busy with the issue of food and clothing, it is impossible to have the idea of ​​going out to spend money and have fun.

"Godfather, I saw Huang Guoguo in Xiaotangyuan's house, can you take me to pick it?"

Early in the morning, Li Yao went to Zhang An's house to talk to Zhang An.

As soon as Zhang An heard it, he knew that Li Yao was talking about loquats.

In the past two days, the loquats have just matured, and few people in the village have planted loquat trees.

Little Tangyuan, her father, Dagui, planted a tree in the garden before.

That golden loquat was hanging on the tree, and it was discovered by Li Yao a few days ago.

This little guy has been plotting in his heart for several days, planning to let Zhang An take him to pick it.

He didn't dare to tell Zhou Lan at home, otherwise Zhou Lan would teach him a lesson.

And Zhang An usually dotes on him, as long as he is obedient, Zhang An will always respond to his requests.

"That's called loquat, not Huang Guoguo, so godfather will take you to pick it."

Hearing that Zhang An agreed, Li Yao happily danced and shouted in the yard.

Zhang An found a basket, and took Li Yao to Xiaotangyuan's house.

Hearing that Li Yao said that the loquat was ripe, Zhang An also wanted to pick some and taste it.

"Brother Dagui, sharpen your sickle, are you ready to cut rapeseed?"

Zhang An arrived at Xiaotangyuan's house, and Xiaotangyuan's father, Tang Dagui, was squatting in the yard sharpening a sickle.

"An Zi is here, come and sit."

When Tang Dagui saw Zhang An, he brought Zhang An a stool with a happy face.

"It's not time to cut the rapeseed yet. If I have time in the past few days, I will sharpen the sickle first, so that I have to grind it now when I need it."

Farmers, they work when they are busy, and repair tools when they are free.

Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for woodcutters. When you have time, prepare your tools first.

In this way, when you need to use it, you can take it and use it, saving time.

Zhang An didn't see the little glutinous rice balls, so he probably woke up in the morning, so he went out to find his friends to play.

"Brother Dagui, I heard that your family's loquats are ripe, so come and pick some."

Zhang An chatted with Brother Dagui for a few words, and then they talked about picking loquats.

"Pick it, pick it, the tree is at the head of the garden."

Tang Dagui heard Zhang An said that he wanted to pick loquats, so he put down the sickle in his hand and took Zhang An into the yard.

If someone else came, he would just smile and let them pick it by themselves.

But when Zhang An came, he wanted to entertain him from the bottom of his heart.

This year Zhang An worked at home, and he often asked him for help, which made him earn a lot of wages.

And usually Zhang An is very kind to the little glutinous rice balls, if there is anything to eat and play for Zhang Yan, he will also give a little glutinous rice balls.

The most important thing is that Xiaotangyuan is playing very well with the dolls in the village now, and he thanks Zhang An from the bottom of his heart.

Their homestead is behind the house, surrounded by a fence.

That's why the loquat was not cursed by the dolls in the village when it was mature.

If you put it outside, it may not turn yellow, and it will be gone long ago.

This loquat tree can't do anything to the group of monkeys climbing up the tree.

The loquat tree in Tang Dagui's house is growing well. It looks rough, and it should be fertilized from time to time.

This loquat tree was planted by Tang Dagui when he was still young.

It has been seven or eight years now, looking at the golden loquat trees, it should be in full fruit period.

Zhang An was about to climb a tree when Tang Dagui brought out a stick ladder from his home.

Prepare to hang on the trunk, let Zhang Anhao go up the tree to pick it.

"Brother Dagui, don't be so troublesome. They are all children who grew up in the village. This tree is not troublesome."

This loquat tree is only three or four meters high, and in many places Zhang An can reach it with his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay, with this staircase, it's easy to pick some, or the ones on the side can't be picked."

Although Zhang An said it was unnecessary, Tang Dagui still erected the stairs.

Zhang An reached out to pick a few, handed them to Li Yao, and then taught him how to peel them.

Although the loquat tree in Xiaotangyuan's house has not been managed much, and the fruit thinning work has not been done.

But the resulting loquat is still more delicious, with a hint of sourness in the sweetness.

And these loquats don't look too small.

This may be because a loquat tree is planted on such a large piece of land, and their family often fertilizes it.

Just as Zhang An finished eating the loquat in his hand, Tang Dagui had already picked some and put them in his basket.

"Brother Dagui, you don't need to pick it. There are already a lot here, enough for us to eat."

When Zhang An ate a loquat, the basket was half full.

"That's only a few points, pick more and more."

Tang Dagui directly carried Zhang An's basket to the tree to pick, and picked only the big ones.

I didn't stop until I picked a full basket and couldn't fit it.

"Brother Dagui, there are too many. Hurry up and share some with the little glutinous rice balls. We can't finish so much."

Zhang An was a little dumbfounded, the basket weighed at least ten catties.

Originally, I just wanted to pick a few loquats, but I didn't do it myself, and the basket was already full of loquats.

"You can just take it and eat it. Our family has more to eat on this tree, so you're afraid that we won't have to eat it haha."

Tang Dagui pointed to Zhang An the strings of golden loquats on the tree.

"Brother Dagui, your tree is not small, how many loquats can it bear in a year."

This loquat tree is not the kind of dwarf loquat grown by orchardists. After those dwarf trees have thinned their fruit, it is not bad to have a weight of forty or fifty catties a year.

And this loquat tree not only grows tall, but also has many branches.

Zhang An reckoned that there were a lot of loquats hanging on the tree.

"It's been a little more in the past two years, and it looks like 100 to [-] catties after picking all of them."

Tang Dagui thought for a while, anyway, this number is pretty much the same.

"I think it's quite delicious. Brother Dagui, you picked it and sold it on the street. It's quite expensive."

With so many loquats, it would be a pity not to pick them off and sell them.

Zhang An has never heard of Tang Dagui selling loquats for so many years.

They are all eaten at home, and those who can't finish eating will rot in the ground.

"What are you selling? In the past, those people came to collect them and gave them a dime or two per catty. They couldn't sell for a lot of money."

There was no one selling loquats in the town, and Tang Dagui couldn't find a reference, so he just stayed at home and ate them.

"These people cut people very hard. This loquat is sold for one or two yuan a catty in the city."

Hearing Zhang An say it was so expensive, Tang Dagui was a little dumbfounded.

He always thought that no one would buy it, who would have thought it would be so expensive.

"It's real, it's fake, this loquat is so expensive? But it's too far to go to the city to sell it."

Although Zhang An said that the selling price in the city was high, Tang Dagui was also tempted at first.

But think about it later, if you pick it up and sell it in the city, who knows how many catties you can sell it for.

In case it cannot be sold at that time, the travel expenses will be paid back and forth, which is a waste of time.

"Actually, when there were a lot of people in the village a few days ago, you could pick the ones and sell them in my yard. They were easy to sell at that time."

There were a lot of people in those few days, as long as they picked the words that were sold at the door of Zhang An's house.

Not to mention that they will all be sold out, but most of them will definitely be sold out.

For those who come from the city, it is more common for one person to buy three or five catties.

"In those few days, I don't know if I can sell it for a price. Be careful next year."

Tang Dagui regretted not asking Zhang An earlier about the situation.

If I had asked a few days earlier, it might have been sold out.

"Why don't you pick the ripe ones, Brother Dagui, and I'll collect them for two yuan per catty."

Zhang An thought for a while, and knew what Tang Dagui was worried about.

So just be a good person and do it to the end, and let him accept it all.

More than 100 catties is not a lot, and Zhang An didn't think about selling it.

At that time, the family will give away points, basically there will be no more.

Tang Dagui was very happy when he heard Zhang An said that he would accept loquats from him.

"Anzi, you don't need two yuan, just one yuan per catty is enough. You need to have money when you take it to the city. I can't let you lose money."

Because Zhang An had a car, it was much more convenient for them to go to the city, so he thought Zhang An was going to sell it.

"Brother Dagui, I didn't collect this to sell, but to give some to each of my friends."

Zhang An explained to Tang Dagui dumbfounded.

"Then you can't sell it so expensively, and you are not an outsider, and one yuan per catty is already very high."

In the end, Tang Dagui still only wanted one yuan per catty, and he refused to charge Zhang An more money.

In the afternoon, Tang Dagui brought the picked loquats to Zhang An's house.

A total of more than 180 catties, and there are still some scattered ones hanging on the tree that are not very mature.

Little Li Yao saw Xiaotangyuan's father calling loquat, so he ran home and called his mother.

Before the weighing was finished, Zhou Lan divided fifty catties and went back.

Zhang An said that he didn't want money, but Zhou Lan didn't give the money to Zhang An at all, and gave it directly to Tang Dagui.

"Xiao An, this loquat belongs to your family, right?"

In the evening, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang, who went to help other people plant rice seedlings, returned home.

At a glance, I saw the loquat bought by Zhang An in the main room.

"Yes, Mom, I saw that Brother Dagui's loquats were ripe, so I bought some from him."

"But is it too much to buy? Our family can't eat so much."

These two pockets weighed more than 100 catties at least, and they were broken before they were finished.

"Mom, our family can't eat much. I plan to buy it as a gift, and just as a help to Brother Dagui, who is in a lot of trouble."

Although these loquats look like a lot, I will give some to Zhang An's second and fourth grandpas.

Then Zhang An's two uncles' homes will also send some, and Su Ying's Zhang An will definitely send them over.

Zhang An's future father-in-law's family will also send some over there.

In the end, Chen Ze and Ding Yi must be indispensable, and there will not be much left in the family in the end.

Zhang An went to the city the next day. Today was not the weekend, and both Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen were at work.

Normally, no one could be found at their house, so Zhang An drove directly to the door of Wu Qiuping's unit.

"Xiao An, why are you here?"

When Wu Qiuping heard that someone was looking for her, she came out and saw that it was Zhang An, and immediately burst into a smile.

"Auntie, the loquats are ripe at home, I'll come over and give you some for uncle, just try it out."

Zhang An handed Wu Qiuping a basket of loquats, which Zhang An asked people in the village to weave.

The above has been improved several times, and now it looks beautiful and atmospheric.

Just pretending to be a loquat as a gift, it looks a little new.

"Oh, it's so far away, you just ate it yourself, and even ran here specially."

Seeing Zhang An thinking about the couple, the smile on Wu Qiuping's face became wider.

Although he said so on the lips, he liked Zhang An even more in his heart. Who wouldn't like such a son-in-law.

"Anyway, if I have a car, it's convenient for me to come." Zhang An said with a smile.

"Hey sister Ping, this young man is so handsome, he is a relative of your family."

An aunt who was walking towards her saw Wu Qiuping happily talking to Zhang An, so she stepped up and interjected.

"It's Xuemei. This is Yingying's partner. It's called Zhang An. It's here to deliver some fruits to us."

As he spoke, he lifted the bamboo basket in his hand and shook it, for fear that the other party might not be able to see clearly.

"Xiao An, this is a colleague in my office, you should call Aunt Li."

Hearing what Wu Qiuping said, Zhang An called Aunt Li along the way.

I don't know if it was Zhang An's illusion, after Wu Qiuping said that Zhang An was Su Ying's object.

The smile on Li Xuemei's face was a little unnatural.

"Then you go ahead, I won't bother you for now."

Li Xuemei smiled and said, and then entered the office.

Wu Qiuping talked to Zhang An again, and asked about the situation at home, and Zhang An answered them one by one.

"Auntie, I won't bother you at work. I'll go to school later and send some to Su Ying."

It's not noon, it's not time to rest.

It was still working hours, and Zhang An didn't intend to continue disturbing Wu Qiuping's work.

"Hey, then you go, be careful on the road."

Hearing that Zhang An was looking for her daughter, Wu Qiuping didn't continue to drag Zhang An to talk, and told him to be careful on the road.

"Okay, I see."

Wu Qiuping watched Zhang An drive away before returning to the office from the door.
