Chapter 164 The fun of picking fruit by hand
Meng Ruixiang grew up so old that he once went to other people's manors for summer with his mother. It was summer at that time. I had never seen any scenes where fruits and vegetables were wanted to pick.
The old saying is right. It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. It is really not enough to read books. If you go out and walk more, it may help you read.
Before Meng Ruixiang could finish his feelings, he had already seen the usual noble ladies and children, and they all brought their maids into the manor.
Some people even think that since they are all here, they will pick them up and bring them with them with guards. They can pick fruits and vegetables for free. It is because someone picks watermelons for this kind of fun.
Many people come to the place where watermelon is grown, and there is also a knowledge of choosing watermelon, that is, knocking.
Beating a watermelon is like beating a drum, and the watermelon garden hears the "dongdong" sound.
Today there are hawkers coming to buy them. They saw so many families from wealthy families coming and sent them to pick them up without any money.
This time I saw that rich people will also be greedy for cheap things, tsk!
The Ye family welcomed the guests into the manor and let them pick them. No matter how much they picked, they could transport them as long as they could.
The Ye family also has different kinds of people. They are very concerned about whether these customers will pay for so many of them?
Lai was always staring at these guests, constantly counting them in her heart, but she couldn't even count so many people picked fruits.
Tang Shunyan and the five girls from the Ye family took his friends through the watermelon garden. The purpose of today is to go to the lychee garden to pick lychees.
Meng Zhaojun wanted to follow Tang Shunyan, so her brother wanted to follow him too.
The group walked a long way and entered the foot of the mountain inside the manor. From a distance, they saw the red lychee trees all over the mountains.
When they came to the lychee tree, Tang Shunyan told his friends yesterday that their wish to climb the lychee tree would fail, and this is only the lychee tree with an adult height...
There seemed to be many lychees hanging. At the foot of the mountain, I saw many red lychees picking two days ago. The rest were not so ripe. The other lychees I saw today were already ripe.
"Tang Shunyan, I really can't climb trees." One of my friends saw his fat body. Can this lychee tree bear his body weight?
Seeing lychees is not as small as being a little branch. It supports so many lychees, I already feel that the lychees are very tired.
"I just said that the lychee trees here have only been planted for more than a year, and they are just seedlings, right?"
While Tang Shunyan was talking, he was talking while picking lychees while eating them. He was not at a disadvantage, but he also picked lychees, but his expression was a little arrogant.
Meng Zhaojun's eyes were always on the five sisters of the Ye family, and the focus was on the youngest, the youngest, Ye Shiqi, who was over one year old.
This is not the first time she has seen the sisters of the Ye family. The way she saw last year is different from what she saw this year.
Maybe because they grew up, the older little girls also looked like they didn't look like a farmer girl at all.
What is dazzling is their skin. Where are the girls in the farmhouses so white and tender?
There are also the five sisters with black and shiny hair, paired with their white and tender skin, and their small mouths that are red without rouge. Their facial features are not the most exquisite, and they are already top-notch among rural children.
The most special thing is the youngest one. Her facial features are delicate than the sisters in front of her. What Meng Zhaojun is jealous and envious is that her skin and facial features are more like a daughter-in-law than her daughter-in-law.
Girls who are only over one year old are all out like this. How can they grow up?
Just looking at her appearance, I thought it was a phoenix that fell into the doghouse. If it weren't for Li's birth at home and had signs of giving birth, people would have mistakenly thought that she had adopted a noble daughter.
What Meng Zhaojun dared not describe was another idea, although she had never seen the princess or those princesses, the girl looked more noble than those people.
Meng Zhaojun felt very lucky that this was just a fake phoenix in front of her, and her status could not be compared with her.
Meng Zhaojun's gaze was too obvious. Others also told them that the sisters had curious gazes, but they did not have the same hostility as Meng Zhaojun's gaze.
This is the second time Ye Shiqi has seen this girl. Her figure and her mature performance, and her identity as a daughter, do things that are hard to guess.
This was the second time Ye Shiqi felt that the daughter in front of her was hostile to her. Seeing Meng Zhaojun's care for Tang Shunyan, she couldn't help but sigh, did the ancients be so precocious?
How could a girl who looks only four or five years old think of such a mature idea?
This feeling has always surrounded Ye Shiqi's heart strangely. In front of more strangers, she has become accustomed to the expression of a doll like a real person and try to speak as little as possible.
Let the sisters do whatever they want. This is a kind of protection for themselves and a way for the sisters to protect her.
"Are we still climbing the mountain? This mountain is not too high!! It's not as high as the next door."
Tang Xiye was greedy and added a lychee, ate one, or even picked a bunch of lychees to eat. He had eaten more than a dozen lychees, which satisfyed his craving this time.
"We can pick fruits nearby, so don't go up the mountain, right?" A fat friend of mine responded to the old saying, "I'm lazy to chop wood after eating lychees. I usually rarely exercise, so I don't have to climb mountains and don't want to go there."
After hearing what his friends said, Tang Shunyan could only nod. It was also a problem to bring so many people up the mountain, so they all waved their hands to ask the guards and maids to pick fruits.
These boys and girls just picked a little to make themselves happy and left the rest of their work to others.
The noble ladies who had just visited the orchard also came to the lychee tree and had the fun of picking lychees by themselves.
What noble ladies fear most is going to the manor. Many mosquitoes, especially under litchi trees, have done a lot of defense work and are usually cool when they wear hot clothes.
Today, in order to prevent mosquitoes, I wore a warm dress. The skirt was at my feet and I also wore inner pants inside to prevent mosquitoes from tinkering under the long-sleeved skirt.
They also bring medicinal oil to prevent insects or being scraped by weeds on the mountain.
When they arrived at the Ye family's manor, they realized that the previous defense was not enough.
In the air of Ye family’s manor, the aroma of melons and fruits floated. There were no mosquitoes flying under the vegetable fields and lychee trees. There were not many weeds under the lychee trees.
Occasionally, I see bees in the manor, and there is absolutely no harm to anyone.
In the hot air in May and June, you can feel a little coolness here. Today, in order to prevent mosquitoes, the noble ladies don’t feel hot.
The Ye family’s manor has no extra houses, which are used as guest rooms for summer vacations, and there is no preparation for people to escape the summer vacations together.
