Chapter 40
The place where Shen Gu led them was his grandfather's house.It was a two-story green brick house with a large yard where many flowers and trees were planted.The vines on the grape trellis in the corner of the yard are lush green, and the winding vines climbed several times along the wooden trellis, entangled together to form a natural shed, in the middle of the shed hung pearl-like grapes, green, Crystal clear and very cute.A peach tree and an osmanthus tree were planted not far from the grape trellis. The peach tree was about to wither its branches and leaves, while the osmanthus tree was lush and green. The small yellow and white flowers hidden in the leaves gave off a sweet and greasy fragrance, filling the whole yard.
The most eye-catching thing is the clump of towering scenic bamboo, a large section of trees next to it, with lush branches and leaves, moving in the wind and rustling.Under the scenic bamboo are two orange trees, the dark green leaves are dotted with fruits the size of a baby's fist, and the fruit is green and immature.
Shi Leqin owed a hand, saw the oranges and couldn't help picking one, and asked, "Old Shen, are your oranges sweet?"
Shen Gu glanced at him, "Sweet, pure natural, no pollution, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, do you think it's sweet or not?"
The orange peel was hard, and when the orange juice was peeled off, the yellow-green juice stained the fingers, and a strong sour taste hit the face.Shi Leqin spent a little effort to peel it, looked at the peeled orange in his hand, and asked in doubt: "Is this really sweet?"
Shen Gu nodded his chin, "You will know if you eat it? Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Don't you know what is said in political books? Say it better than do it."
"Oh." Shi Leqin swallowed, broke off a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and exclaimed in silence for two seconds: "It's so sweet!"
"Really?" He Liu Wenyan also wanted to pick one, but was stopped by Shi Leqin.
"If you are a newcomer and haven't greeted others, don't pick so many. Come on, I'll share it with you. Don't tell me, it's really sweet."
He Liu thought about it, so he didn't pick it, and took the two oranges he handed over.
"Come here, you guys have a taste too, pure natural and pollution-free sweet oranges." Shi Leqin divided the oranges very graciously.
He Liming didn't answer, and looked at him with a half-smile, "I don't eat what other people have eaten."
Shi Leqin choked up, turned his head and handed it to Liang Jingjing.Liang Jingjing happily accepted, and Shi Leqin gave him the most, almost half of it.
Xu Muyang didn't eat, because Shen Gu didn't allow it, he pushed Shi Leqin's hand away with a smile, "Xu Muyang has a toothache and can't eat sweets."
Shi Leqin shrugged and sighed: "It's a pity, you can't eat such a good thing."
Xu Muyang was puzzled, but actually he wanted to join in the fun, so he said in a low voice, "Why do you say I have a toothache? My teeth are fine."
Shen Gu didn't answer his question directly, he kept pursing his lips and smiled, he took out a milk candy from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth, "Let's not eat sweet oranges, but candies."
"Fuck! It's so sour!"
He Liu, who had just eaten a slice of orange, was so sour that his face was ferocious, and his whole body trembled, his mouth was full of saliva, so sour that he wanted to spit it out.
Shi Leqin smiled and said: "Don't spit, don't spit, this is a good thing."
He Liu didn't care, grabbed his collar and vomited directly on him.Liang Jingjing was also sour, she pressed Shi Leqin and stuffed all the oranges in his mouth.The two of them worked together to make him swallow the sour orange, and then they gave up.
Shi Leqin's tears were filled with sourness, and he complained: "You two beasts, to treat him like this, your innocence has been tarnished by you two!"
He Liu and Liang Jingjing fought back mercilessly, and they fought endlessly for a while.
Xu Muyang was amused, and wrapped his tongue around the milk sugar in his mouth, forming a small bump on his cheek.
Shen Gu looked at it interestingly, he stuck out his finger and poked it, in exchange for a stare from the other party, he returned the other party's smile.
"Ouch! Who is this? Why are you arguing?"
An old man was standing at the gate of the yard with a hoe on his shoulders. He wore a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked gentle and gentle, but he was tall and oppressive like a hill.With this body type, one can tell at a glance that someone has inherited the height of the old man.
Shen Gu walked over with a smile, "Grandpa, are you back from the field again?"
Grandpa saw his grandson with a smile on his face, "My friend is here! How long have you been here? Why didn't you call me?"
Shen Gu smiled helplessly, "I have called you a few times, and there are a few messages, but you haven't received it, have you?"
Grandpa slapped his forehead and laughed, "Look at my memory, I didn't pay much attention! This is your classmate, go in and drink some water."
When I came to play at other people's homes, several people stopped making noise and became more polite. Even He Liming introduced himself politely without showing his face.
"Grandpa, where's my grandma?" Shen Gu helped Zhang Yan take down the hoe and put it away, and asked.
"The old lady is breaking corn in the field, and then ordering dishes, and she will be back later." Grandpa said while taking out a few cups and pouring a few cups of water from the kettle for the children. "Ah, there is still sugar at home. Would you like to drink sugar water? It's so sweet."
A few people shook their heads quickly and said no, they were all young men, how could they like to drink sugar water?This is treating them like children.
Grandpa was very kind and humorous. He was very happy to hear that they were going to come here for a few days. He enthusiastically introduced a lot of places to play.The autumn chestnuts on the mountain are ripe. You can go to the mountain to pick chestnuts. In two days, the Mid-Autumn Festival will have opera performances. There is a small river in the field, and you can touch fish in the river... It’s what children in the country often play. place.
Going up the tree to pick chestnuts, going down the river to fish, these are things that Shi Leqin who lives in the county town have never played before. He suddenly became excited and planned where to go first and where to go next.
When it was almost noon, grandma came back, she was petite, but she was carrying a basket full of vegetables.Seeing Shen Gu and his classmates, his face was full of smiles.Grandma is very good at complimenting people. She praised all the children present, and everyone was embarrassed.
The two old men were so kind and enthusiastic, and the restrained people let go.Especially Shi Leqin, He Liu and Liang Jingjing, who were simply living treasures, made the two old people laugh out loud.
At noon, I ate sweet pumpkin porridge and corn, served with vegetables grown in my own field, which tasted fresh and crisp.A few people couldn't stop eating, and finally drained the bottom of the pot before realizing that they were embarrassed.
Grandma smiled and asked them to eat more.Hearing that they were going out to play, he asked Shen Gu to take people to the mountains to play, pick some chestnuts and stew chicken at night.
After eating and drinking, Shen Gu carried the drawing board on his back in a small basket, and headed up the mountain with a group of helpers.
