I loaded the farm game

Chapter 261 The “orchard” in my hometown

In fact, fishing for eels is not very suitable in winter, because when the temperature is low, eels, like snakes, will enter a state of hibernation.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, early summer, when the seedlings have just grown and are not very high, is the most suitable for fishing.

However, Lin Zhou just wanted to take He Shaojun to experience it and become addicted to it.

Plus today is another sunny day, so if you are lucky, you might still be able to catch something.

So, it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.

After agreeing, the group of people took their tools and drove to Linzhou's hometown.

The vehicle drove along the winding country road and finally stopped at the side of a bamboo forest.

Because the houses next to each other in this bamboo forest are the houses of Lin Zhou's hometown.

In fact, there are many situations like this in their village.

Most houses have a lush bamboo forest either on the back or next to them.

However, these bamboos are all ordinary varieties, neither blue bamboo nor spotted bamboo.

Therefore, the biggest economic use of these bamboos is to braid some daily farm tools, such as dustpans, dustpans, fighting guns and other tools, and sell them to others.

Linzhou's grandfather had this skill.

But in his father's generation, the craftsmanship has not been passed down much, and the things he makes are not good for his own use, let alone selling.

As for Lin Zhou and the others, let alone them!

However, this craft left a very good memory to Lin Zhou.

Ah!
Probably because when I was a child, every time my grandfather compiled these things and took them to the market to sell them, he would always buy some delicious things back.

In addition to this value, this kind of bamboo can also be used to collect bamboo shoot husks, bamboo leaves and branches to burn when there is no wood in the past. In addition, for crops grown in the fields, bamboo can be cut down when poles need to be inserted.

right!

Speaking of this, what impressed Linzhou the most was the bamboo strips inserted when covering the corn and rice seedlings with film.

Another point is to provide Linzhou and the others with a little fun when they were young. Whenever the bamboo shoots grow, there will be bamboo shoot insects!

"Boss Lin!"

"Is this your old house?" He Shaojun followed Wang Manli out of the car and asked.

"There's no one cleaning the house, so we won't go in. Let's just go pick grapefruits nearby!" Lin Zhou looked at the houses next to the bamboo forest.

A standard cement brick house has no whitewash on the surface, just a layer of cement slurry.

Moreover, coupled with the erosion of rain over time, the surface layer of these cement slurries has already peeled off in some places.

Unlike those houses next to the national highway, which can be covered with a layer of white ash.

"Okay! Are the grapefruits the ones in the field next to you?" He Shaojun nodded.

"No, on the other side of the house, if you go down this path, the trees in the field belong to our family!" Lin Zhou shook his head and explained.

With that said, he also walked forward to lead them.

The path next to the house was basically the same as in his memory, except that there were more weeds.

This is quite normal.

After all, no one lives in the house, and the road next to it is less traveled, so weeds naturally grow up.

In addition, another reason is that there are fewer people farming in the village now, and many people have gone outside.

Therefore, trails like this, with few people walking on them, will be blocked by weeds.

"You all should be careful. There may be moss on these stone slabs. Be careful and be careful not to step on the edges. They may fall over!"

Lin Zhou walked on a stone path paved with bluestones and gave them a reminder.

The paths like theirs are all paved with stone slabs.

After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some empty pry situations. When he was a child, he suffered such a loss. He stepped on the edge of a stone, and the stone overturned and fell directly into the field below the road.

In this situation, if it's summer it's fine, but if it's winter and there's water in the fields, the taste will be nothing to mention!

After hearing Lin Zhou's words, He Shaojun and others who were following behind also paid attention to their steps to prevent themselves from overturning.

Of course, more attention is placed on the scene around him.

After all, they are curious about these things.

Firstly, I wanted to see if there was anything strange. Secondly, I just wanted to see what it was like where Lin Zhou lived.

Because most of the fruit trees in Lin Zhou's house were planted in the field next to their house and the fields outside the field, the group didn't go far before they saw these trees growing in the fields.

The largest and most eye-catching one is a plum tree with a thick trunk and complicated branches.

Because there is no one to take care of and prune it, the branches grow in strange and strange shapes.

However, this variety of plum tree is very good. People here in Linzhou call it "Dragon Boat Festival Plum"!
The plums produced by this kind of plum tree are particularly large. When ripe, they are yellow-orange in color. They taste crisp and refreshing, and full of sweetness.

As for the origin of the name, it is also because the ripening time of this kind of plum is almost around the Dragon Boat Festival.

So people call it Dragon Boat Festival Li.

In addition, in this "orchard", there are three or four peach trees, loquat trees, and a pomegranate that has not yet fully grown.

right! I almost forgot, there is their target today, the grapefruit tree.

These grapefruit trees grow in the ground outside and are planted in a row.

There are yellow grapefruits hanging on every grapefruit tree now, and they are full of fruits!

Of course, these grapefruits may be because there are too many fruits and the fruits are not picked, so they are not particularly big.

Fruit trees that can be eaten are probably of these categories.

Others are inedible, the most conspicuous being a row of straight, green pine trees.

Seeing this row of pine trees, He Shaojun's eyes couldn't help but froze, and his expression was slightly complicated.

I don’t know if it’s my heartbeat or my heart is trembling!
In addition, there is an osmanthus tree with a slightly young trunk that is not thick.

This piece of Yuanzi looks very messy as a whole, with no plan at all.

The various trees are also criss-crossed and not in an orderly manner.

The main reason for this is that the trees planted by Linzhou were not bought and planted by them.

All were transplanted from other places.

Situations like this are very common in rural areas.

For example, if someone’s cucumbers grow well this year, sometimes when they meet each other while working in the fields, they will tell each other during conversation that they will leave more seeds for you and plant some when the time comes.

Of course, in such a situation, the relationship between everyone is not bad.

If you were the kind of person who didn't have much social contact or had any grudges, this would definitely not happen.

Under normal circumstances, everyone will give it.

Therefore, this "Yuanzi" in Linzhou was slowly planted in this way.

"Boss! There seem to be a lot of ducks among the varieties of fruit trees in your field!" Su Xiaozhao opened his eyes wide and looked at the things in front of him. "Hahaha, they are actually common fruit trees in rural areas, such as peaches, plums, loquats, oranges, etc.!" Lin Zhou replied with a smile.

"And they're not any special varieties, and since no one takes care of them, the taste can only be said to be average."

"Well...I feel like this is actually not bad!"

"Actually, these home-grown orchards are similar, and the taste is not the same. The main thing is the feeling, freshness!"

“Enjoy the feeling of climbing up the tree and picking and eating the fruits, and the freshness of the fruits right from the tree!”

Su touched her lips with her little finger, her eyes showing longing, probably thinking that such a life would be special.

"Yes, yes, Boss Lin, this feeling is the most enjoyable!" He Shaojun also echoed.

For people like them, experience plays a large part in taste.

"Ha ha!"

"You two, you can't stand and talk without your back hurting!"

"Do you think the fruit trees in our village can compare with those in the picking gardens you go to?"

"Because our fruit trees are not treated with pesticides, bugs will grow on the trees and in the fruits!"

“Especially when most fruits ripen in summer, the weather is so hot that you don’t even want to move, so it’s more about picking fruits!”

"Even if you are going to pick, and you don't wear a special coat, then if you go up there with nothing but short sleeves, if you accidentally touch the alpaca on the leaves, it will be like a bag, which is spicy and irritating!"

"If you wear a coat, you have to bear the heat. The sweat will flow down and your clothes will be soaked with sweat. The sweat on your forehead will make your eyes hurt!"

Lin Zhou chuckled lightly and narrated it to the two of them, shattering all the scenes they imagined.

In fact, talking about this, he couldn't help but think of his childhood, when he was really not afraid of the sun or caterpillars.

On hot days, people climb trees and climb very high.

Quack quack quack!

After hearing what Lin Zhou said, Su Xiaozhao and He Shaojun's expressions tightened and they shuddered.

After a moment of silence, Su Xiaozhao asked uncertainly: "Uh-Boss, is it really so scary? What is a sheep Latin? It's like a bag when you touch it?"

"Sheep Latin is a kind of caterpillar! As long as your skin is touched by it, the taste will be the same as if you touch nettle grass, and the skin will swell directly!"

Lin Zhou smiled at her.

"Hiss!" Su Xiaozhao couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Caterpillars, this kind of animal, are indeed a bit scary for girls.

"Boss Lin, I think rural life should still be good, right? It's not all as horrible as you said!" He Shaojun felt that his inherent impression was somewhat shattered.

"Yes! Yes, in fact, these things I have are not horror, they are just normal country life."

Lin Zhou nodded slightly and said loudly: "In addition, there are not all caterpillars on the trees. Like when we were children, we often climbed trees, but the number of times we were frightened by caterpillars was very few."

"I can only say that for you, it is enough to experience it once in a while. If you really want to live such a life, it will definitely not be as beautiful as you think."

"..." Su Xiaozhao blinked, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Boss, you were just trying to scare us on purpose!"

"No, I'm just telling you about my experience!" Lin Zhou held a wooden stick and pushed some weeds away.

Their Yuanzi area had obviously been untouched for some time, and the previously bare areas were now overgrown with weeds.

“Also, I just mentioned trees, but the grass underneath is actually ‘troublesome’!”

"You are like this kind of grass. It is okay when the fruits are not ripe. Like the autumn and winter plan, when the fruits are ripe, once you wear pants and clothes that are easy to stick to hair and walk by it, then you will have to wear something on your pants. Stick on densely packed small particles!”

"Furthermore, these small particles of fruit are not only very difficult to remove, but also very troublesome to wash. If you use a washing machine, you can't wash them off at all. In addition, they smell a bit smelly. They are simply the most disgusting grass!"

"Worst than a cocklebur that looks like a wolf-toothed ball!"

Lin Zhou's tone was extremely disgusting and he swatted away a piece of grass.

To be honest, when they were young, they hated this kind of grass the most when they were living in a grass cage.

"Alas!"

"Boss, it seems you were poisoned by this kind of grass when you were a child!" Su Xiaozhao squinted his eyes and looked around to see if there was any such grass.

Since Lin Zhou disliked him so much, she naturally didn't want to get involved.

"Indeed!" Lin Zhou admitted frankly.

"We've arrived, let's pick grapefruits!"

By this time, they had arrived in front of the grapefruit tree.

"Boss, how many do you want to pick?" Su Xiaozhao lifted his sleeves.

"It doesn't matter, you can pick as many as you want." Lin Zhou said casually.

"Actually, if we don't come back to pick these grapefruits, no one will pick them. Most of them will fall to the ground and rot by themselves."

There was no exaggeration in what he said.

Mainly because now, almost every household here has planted a few grapefruit trees.

In addition, there are not many people at home usually, so there is no way to finish the food, there is no way to finish it!
"Then I'll pick more later! I'll also help Aunt Qin and the others make more orange peel candies and bring them back to my parents to try!" Su Xiaozhao turned his white wrist and grabbed it directly from the tree. A grapefruit.

He Shaojun and others next to him also nodded.

Then, they sharpened their knives and started attacking the grapefruits on the tree.

When he was almost halfway through picking, Lin Zhou heard someone from the house above shouting: "Zhou baby! Have you been back for a long time?"

"Just now!" Lin Zhou looked up and recognized the other person.

According to my mother's seniority, I should be the fourth mother.

"Are you alone? Isn't your mother back?" the middle-aged woman asked again.

"Yeah! It's just me. My mother will be back in a while!" Lin Zhou unscrewed another grapefruit as he replied.

"Oh! Are you here specifically to pick grapefruit?"

"Well! I have nothing to do today. I brought my friends over to pick them up and play with them."

"Then you can pick a few here in front of our house later! The one in front of our house is bigger!"

"need!"

Lin Zhou didn't refuse and responded with a smile.

Because the two families are neighbors and both are kind-hearted, their relationship is relatively close.

In the past, when they returned to their hometown, they didn't grow vegetables, so they picked them in the vegetable plot at home.

Of course, when Linzhou's plums and peaches are ripe, they will also give some away.

In fact, interpersonal communication in the countryside is like this. If you have more, you give me more, and if I have more, I will give you more.

As you come and go, the relationship will naturally become closer. (End of chapter)
