Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 89 The Orchard Romance 1
The car was full of people, and it was impossible not to be lively, but when it became lively, time seemed to pass very fast.

When the donkey cart approached the orchard, Lu Cheng looked at the sun on the east side, turned his head and said, "We agreed to gather at the orchard at the beginning of Chenchu ​​to start working. We came early, so we probably have to wait a while, why don't we go shopping first?"

Amu came to the orchard for the first time, looked at the garden full of red fruits, and responded excitedly.

Mrs. Li is a hardworking person, looking at Lu Chengdao: "Let the sisters go shopping, let's start right now, the first time picking, hands are raw, first practice." They are odd jobs invited by Lu Cheng, in case they do It's not good to be seen by the master of the Wu family or the people above Lu Cheng, it's okay to blame them, it's not good to make Lu Cheng reprimanded.

Xu Shouliang nodded, and said: "Let's pick it first, if there is anything that needs attention, please tell us."

Lu Cheng hummed.

The donkey cart slowly descended the slope, and soon stopped outside the gate of the orchard.

The fruit is ripe, afraid of being stolen, Uncle Li has led several Wu guys to live here these few nights.Although the orchard is large, there are usually few things to do, so he and Lu Cheng are the only ones guarding it. Only when picking fruit will they call a few people from the Wu family's compound to help guard against thieves. The salary is not low.

But Lu Cheng only wanted to take care of the orchard, and he didn't care about anyone, otherwise, when Master Wu wanted him to go to the Wu family to be a real manager the year before last, Lu Cheng would not have refused.In his opinion, to take care of the orchard is to serve the fruit trees. If you are tired, you don't have to bow your head to others. After entering the Wu family compound, you may be able to climb up, and you may be able to earn more money from the hands of the people below, but The big and small masters and grandparents above have to bow their heads when they meet.

Lu Cheng is willing to serve fruit trees, but not people.

Hearing the movement in the garden, Uncle Li came out coughing, and nodded to everyone when he saw that Lu Cheng had brought someone.

"Master caught a cold?" Lu Cheng asked with concern.

Uncle Li waved his hands indifferently, "I have to cough twice at this time of year, it's okay, then you can lead them to stroll inside first, teach them, I'll go over there and have a look." The basket was pulled over early, and It was almost finished, and a stack of baskets was placed one by one, so that when one basket was full, the empty ones could be picked up nearby, without having to run out again.

Lu Cheng knew what kind of work they had, so he glanced at Ningxiang, led the crowd to a fruit tree, pointed to the row in front of him and said, "Our two families will pick this first." The family taught Ningxiang's family, so he ran to help Uncle Li divide the baskets.

The remaining people were divided into two groups, Lu Zhongan led the men to occupy the first fruit tree in the line, and the female family members went to pick the next one.

Mrs. Pan first taught Mrs. Li and others how to pick fruit.

It really takes skill.

If you can’t pick the fruit, you can’t grab the fruit and pull it down hard. You have to hold the fruit with your palm, hold the fruit with your palm, and press the socket where the handle is next to the fruit with your index finger, and then lift it up hard to let the other end of the handle come off. Fruit branches, rather than pulling down.If it doesn't work once, try several times. In short, you can't pull it hard, otherwise it will easily cause the fruit stalk to continue to connect to the fruit tree, and what you tear off is a piece of sandy peel, so the fruit is easy to rot.

Shaguo is small in size, and many of them are several fruits growing together, so you have to pick them carefully, don't pick one fruit and knock off the other fruits, causing injuries on the ground.In addition, the fruit is important, and the leaves must be kept. Try to be cautious when picking the fruit and avoid touching the fallen leaves.Another thing is that the branches of fruit trees will bounce around, people have to be careful not to prick their eyes.

Ningxiang understood, turned around and taught her younger brother, Anan obediently held her mother's clothes, and tilted her head to look seriously.

Amu picked one, looked at the good fruit in his hand, and smiled happily at his sister.

Ningxiang patted her younger brother's head rewardingly.

When Anan saw it, he wanted to pick it too.

Ning Xiang was afraid that he could not pick it well, and the fruit would be useless if she hurt herself, so she smiled and carried the little guy to the rattan basket that was about as tall as Amu.A circle of burlap was spread inside the rattan basket, Ning Xiang put a fruit in it, then squatted down, looked at Anan seriously and said: "Anan, this is our basket, we pick the fruit and put it in, Anan will help us watch it. , don’t allow others to steal, okay?”

It just so happened that a few helpers came outside the orchard. When they saw the Xu and Lu families, they looked this way curiously.

Anan looked at the big basket next to him that was taller than him, sat down on the ground, looked at his mother and said, "Don't grab it!"

Ning Xiang kissed him rare, "Then Anan will watch carefully, my aunt will pick the fruit, and I will give Anan the money she earns."

Anan grinned and nodded.

The two families began to get busy.Atao and Amu just pick the bottom ones, Ningxiang and others pick the high ones, they only pick the red ones, the green ones will have to grow for a few more days.Xu Qiuer was mischievous, she was the first to climb up to pick it on a thick fruit branch, when Ningxiang saw her, she told her to be careful not to fall off.

"It's okay, I'm not a child." Xu Qiu'er said indifferently, picked one up, and lowered her head to call out to ten-year-old Lu Rong, "Second sister, let's do it together. I'll pick it up, and you can pick it up for me, and put it in the basket."

Following the name of the three brothers Lu Cheng to the sisters of the Lu family.

Lu Rong smiled and helped, and Amu also helped pick up the fruit.

Guan Ping looked at the side for a while, then sighed secretly, turned to the side of the fruit tree facing away from the man, climbed up neatly, and then called Ning Xiang, "You pick it up for me." I didn't want Ning Xiang to climb the tree .

Ning Xiang had to listen to her at this time, and walked over obediently.

The fruit tree has a thick trunk at the bottom, and it is impossible to climb up.Xu Qiuer and Lu Fu gave up early, Guan Ping was as light as a swallow, and she walked on the ground where the two of them dared not step.

Mrs. Li couldn't help persuading: "Come down after picking this one, let them step on the ladder to pick it up later, let's move forward."

Guan Ping hummed, but he didn't intend to go down, and reached out for a fruit on the high place.

On the tree next door, Lu Yan tilted his head to look at it, and praised in a low voice: "You deserve to be the one who escaped famine by yourself, you are so courageous."

Xu Huai was picking fruit next to him, frowned upon hearing this, and reminded while picking fruit: "The past is the past, don't mention the matter of fleeing famine, she might think too much if she hears about it."

Lu Yan took another look at him, and immediately apologized, "Brother Xu said yes, I will pay attention in the future."

Xu Huai felt guilty and jumped off the tree to put the fruit.

"aunt!"

Sitting on the ground, Anan grinned when he saw his mother walking over with several fruits in his arms.

The little guy was very obedient, and just as Ning Xiang was about to praise Anan, he suddenly saw Lu Cheng striding over with a ladder behind the fruit tree in front of him, and he could feel his fiery gaze from afar.Ning Xiang panicked, took a few steps quickly and put the fruit in her arms into the basket, and then quickly hid under the tree before Lu Cheng approached.

The little girl ran away quickly, and Lu Cheng smiled helplessly.

"Daddy!" Seeing him, Anan happily patted the big basket next to him, "Ours!"

"Who told you it belonged to your family?"

Suddenly a clear male voice came from the gate of the orchard, Anan turned his head and looked at the tall man walking over, feeling familiar.

Ningxiang glanced through the gaps in the branches, didn't know her, and was guessing if it was the Wu family, Pan's face diagonally explained to Li with a smile: "The Wu family also has a chestnut garden, this is the steward of the chestnut garden, named Yan Respect, I have a very good relationship with Anan's father."

After hearing this, Ning Xiang quietly looked at Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng blinked at her.

Ning Xiang was puzzled, and then saw the man named Yan Jing standing next to Lu Cheng, and looking directly at her, his eyes clearly seemed to confirm something.Ningxiang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she was ashamed and annoyed, she immediately turned her head and turned her back to them.

"You are fooling me, people will take a fancy to you?"

Yan Jing stared at Ningxiang's back in a daze, the girl's peach-like face was still in his mind, after being stabbed by Lu Cheng, he looked back in time, whispered to Lu Cheng, and wanted to go to Ningxiang's side while talking look.

Lu Cheng turned around and faced him across the basket, with a warning in his eyes, "Are you here to help with work?"

Yan Jing replied with the wrong lips, and stared at Lu Cheng dissatisfied, "Why are you so lucky? Every girl like a fairy likes you? Don't you have more seductive eyes than me? You are not as good as me in wages."

His ability to take care of fruit trees is passed down from family. Seeing that his son has learned all the skills, the father gave his son the position of manager of the chestnut garden. He went to open a small shop and the two of them earned money together. is good.

Lu Cheng didn't bother to argue with him, but he smiled and said nothing.

Yan Jing originally wanted to belittle Lu Cheng a few more words, but suddenly saw a beautiful girl jumping down from the opposite tree, walking towards this side with a fruit in her arms, her fair face and watery almond eyes were exactly the same as Lu Cheng's. Daughter-in-law is somewhat similar.His heart skipped a beat, and he secretly asked Lu Cheng, "Who is this? Is there someone in charge?"

Lu Cheng looked back.

"Brother Lu, why don't you work?" Xu Qiuer teased him with a smile on her face, "Do you want to compete with Anan for an errand?"

"Let's do it now." Lu Cheng said with a smile, and after speaking, he winked at Yan Jing and told him to go with him.

Yan Jing pretended not to see, stared at Xu Qiuer and smiled, "Which sister of Lu Cheng are you, why haven't I seen her before?"

Xu Qiuer knew who he was, but she didn't know him. Seeing that the man was clearly teasing her, Xu Qiuer glared at him, knelt down to tease Anan, and took out the fruit she had been hiding behind her all along, "Look, Anan, Aunt Qiu picked a fruit The reddest fruit, Anan kisses me, and I will give it to you."

Holding the handle of the fruit, he purposely waved it in front of Anan's eyes.

The fruit is round and red, really beautiful.

Anan stared, visibly moved.

Xu Qiu'er smiled and moved her face closer, but Anan hid back, looked at her mother under the fruit tree, pointed at her and said, "Girl!"

Xu Qiu'er held back her anger and continued to coax him with a smile, "Aunt Xiang's is not as popular as mine!"

Anan had already hesitated, but now he thought she was annoying, so he stood up and hid behind his father.

Xu Qiu'er was so angry that she chased after the brat, but she didn't understand why the little guy refused to be hugged by her.

Yan Jing glanced at the elders who were busy picking fruit in front of the fruit tree. He didn't regard Lu Cheng as a human being. He lowered his head and laughed at the young girl, "I don't care about your fruit. To be kissed by others."

"I want you to take care of it!" Xu Qiu'er suddenly raised her head, stared at him and said, she was playing with Anan, why did he interrupt?

The little girl's almond eyes were wide open, her face was prettier than the fruit, Yan Jing liked it more and more, and said softly: "I'm thirsty, Anan doesn't want it, you can give me the fruit, as for kissing you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Cheng used a basket to cover up and kicked him hard.

Yan Jing took an exaggerated breath, and then met Xu Qiuer's shocked and angry little face, he laughed loudly, and quickly ran deep into the orchard, "You guys are busy, I'll go inside and have a look!"

"Qiu'er, don't listen to his nonsense, he's just teasing you, he's not a bad person." Lu Cheng picked up his son and comforted the girl who was blushing in a low voice.

"Isn't that bad?" The culprit ran away, and Xu Qiu'er turned her anger on Lu Cheng, glaring at him bitterly, "You don't think he's bad, which means you two are the same kind. Hmph, I'll tell you later Sister, let her be alert, don't be fooled by you!"

After cursing, he turned his head and left, really heading towards Ningxiang.

Lu Cheng hurriedly chased after him, so he opened his mouth and started talking nonsense, "Ah Nan, apologize to Aunt Qiu, and dare to pick on Aunt Qiu next time..."

Xu Qiu'er turned around in disbelief, Lu Cheng quickly admitted his mistake in a low voice, afraid that the little girl would really gossip in front of her sweetheart.

The two were muttering to each other, Ning Xiang couldn't help it, she tilted her head to look.

When Anan saw it, he was afraid that his mother would be angry, so he loudly defended himself, "I didn't pick it!"
