Hearing Lin Xiangrong's laughter, Liu Meng's eyes rolled around, thinking of ways to trick her or vent his anger.
They are both girls, so why is it that she has someone to protect her and a godfather in the capital to mail her clothes and good food and fun things, but she has nothing?
It's all the fault of useless Liu Laoer. If he mustered up the courage to talk to Ning Zhennian and tried his best to help him avoid the mudslide, wouldn't it all be his!
Liu Meng's luck kept him from picking up a stone and throwing it at Lin Xiangrong.
However, she quickly thought about what would happen to old Lin's family around the Chinese New Year, and felt that it was okay to make Lin Xiangrong happy for a while first.
She threw her clothes aside and ran over to a child and asked, "What are you playing with?"
The child's surname was Chen, which was the same as Zhou Zhaodi's maiden mother. However, the child had a cheerful personality. He looked at Liu Meng and said, "We are going to make a fuss, will you come?"
"What fun is there in fishing? I know there is a jujube tree somewhere in the back mountain. Why don't we pick jujubes to eat? It's so delicious." Liu Meng told the child the place and then told the other two children. After hearing about the jujube tree, he finally took back the silver needle and walked aside to watch them play.
"What? Going to pick dates?"
When Lin Xiangrong heard that three children were clamoring to pick dates from the jujube trees, they decided to go to the back mountain. He blinked and hesitated: "The back mountain is too far. We still have to climb up. What if we fall?" ?”
There is no problem for her and Lu Xiao to go to the back mountain together.
One is a tomboy, and the other is a ten-year-old half-grown boy. No matter what, the two of them will not go to the mountain to fight and then fall down. But a group of children are different. They are inherently unstable and play-minded. If they start to fight, What should I do if it breaks?
"Yes, there is a big jujube tree in the back mountain. Let's go over and pick some jujubes and soak them in water to drink. It would be great!"
The child of the Chen family shouted: "Let's go quickly. What's the point of this place? I don't know how many times I played but it was in vain. This time is the best."
The other two children cooperated, yelled twice and ran towards the back hill, obviously going to pick dates.
The other children looked at each other and knew that the mountain behind was not that easy to climb. The adults at home must have warned them not to go up the mountain because it was dangerous, so they did not move for a while.
"Shall we go?" Xiao Nian didn't want to go. She was not familiar with this place, and she was even less familiar with the mountain. What if she got lost with everyone?
So she pulled Lin Xiangrong's sleeve and said that she didn't want to go. She was very worried about where she was going and was a little afraid of getting lost.
Lin Xiangrong didn't want to go. A group of children were all five or six years old. If the adults of the family knew about going to the back mountain to pick dates, they would all have to suffer a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots. If anything happened, they would be killed one by one. I couldn't explain it clearly, I just wanted to take Xiao Nian back.
"Hey, don't leave, let's go together."
Qi Rong, the village party secretary who had been playing well with Lin Xiangrong, grabbed Lin Xiangrong. She had a pair of braids, a thin shirt that was not old but clean, and she had balm on her face. , smelling the sweet smell when she got closer, she said to Lin Xiangrong in a half-coquettish manner: "Come with me, I'll just have fun with you here. If you don't go, I won't be interested."
Lin Xiangrong also liked to play with Qi Rong. After hearing this, he hesitated for a while: "Xiao Nian, let's go play for a while and then come back, okay? I won't lose you."
At least he brought the person out by himself, so he must bring Xiao Nian back exactly as he was. He couldn't lose the person, so Lin Xiangrong asked for Xiao Nian's opinion.
Xiao Nian thought about it. She heard that eating jujubes can replenish blood. Her mother happened to be sick. She wondered if eating some jujubes would be better for her health. She also heard Lin Xiangrong said that she could take care of herself, so she nodded: "Okay, let's Let’s go play together.”
"Then let's go, Xiaorong, you lead the way, I don't know the place."
After living in Xingjia Village for so long, she has visited the back mountain a hundred and eighty times, not to mention thousands of times. This was the first time she heard that there were jujube trees in the back mountain.
Qi Rong wasn't sure where the place was, so he pulled Lin Xiangrong and Xiao Nian to catch up with the friends in front of them, and followed them into a path in the back mountain, entering the forest with tall trees and canopies.
The mountains and forests are dense and abundant, and the trail is not steep but a bit difficult to walk. There were about eight or nine children in the group, and they were exhausted after climbing for a while. They all sat on the grass to rest and chatter about the jujube trees. Location.
Lin Xiangrong went into the mountains for business. The walk was not tiring. She got up and looked around, and soon found a jujube tree not far away on the left.
"Here!" She shouted in surprise: "Qi Rong, the jujube tree is here. Come quickly and bring Han Nian!"
Qi Rong was turning his ankles, thinking that he would go up the mountain once and never come back again. The little girl responded with a quick response, turned to Han Nian and said: "Xiang Rong has found the jujube tree, come with me quickly." .”
She greeted the other friends again, and didn't care whether Han Nian ran to the jujube tree first. In the end, her friend Lin Xiangrong, who had been playing until he was an adult, was more important, so she didn't care whether Han Nian followed or not. .
"I'm coming! Oh, don't climb up. What if you fall? Let the bigger brother get up!"
Children in the village can climb trees. If they can, they can even climb the roof of the house. Qi Rong ran to the foot of the tree and saw Lin Xiangrong climbing up a little bit. He anxiously went over and pulled her ankle, trying to get Lin Xiangrong to come down. , to avoid climbing to a high place and accidentally falling.
She turned to her brother and said, "Brother, please be patient and don't let her fall."
Probably because rural children have been doing some work since they were young, and because of the poor harvests in recent years, they are somewhat precocious. Children as young as six or seven already know how to avoid danger and protect those close to them. Qi Rong is very natural. The best friend who calls himself brother and continues to play.
Lin Xiangrong picked the two lowest dates, climbed down slowly, and handed one of the dates to Qi Rong: "I think it's quite sweet. We can pick more and go back to eat."
This is a medium-sized fruit tree, not too tall, and there are no tall trees around to block the sun, so it has a lot of jujubes hanging on the tree one by one, which looks very delicious.
She ate a jujube. It had a rich flavor, plump flesh and a not too big core. It looked pretty good. She could go back and buy honey to make candied dates.
Qi Rong nodded and found a branch with others to try to hit the dates. However, she was not tall enough and she couldn't hit the dates with the branches even when she jumped up. So she asked her brother to climb up and shake down some dates.
"Okay, then you guys wait below and stand far away so as not to get hit by jujubes." The eight or nine-year-old boy nodded and asked his sister and Lin Xiangrong to stand far away. After discussing with their friends, a few older boys and the girl climbed up and shook the fruit tree.
