"Mom and Dad, have you packed up? It's time to close the door and go back." Chen Xiaohu shouted before entering the fruit shop.
"Little bastard, are you itchy? Why are you shouting? Do you expect me to close the door?" Auntie cursed before she saw anyone.
"I didn't mean that, Mom, I meant to pack up and go back soon. Grandpa and grandma are cooking and waiting for us." Chen Xiaohu said helplessly.
Auntie walked out and saw Chen Xiaonan and Chen Xiaoyun also there.
I originally wanted to give Chen Xiaohu a slap in the face, but I held it back after seeing Chen Xiaoyun.
"Xiao Yun, Xiao Nan, you are here too!" Auntie said with a smile.
"Auntie, let's watch the dragon boat race. Uncle Minsheng has packed up and closed the door. Grandpa and Grandma are already at home cooking and waiting." Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"He will move the goods right away. Come in and sit and wait for a while." Auntie greeted.
The three of them walked into the fruit shop.
"You can take whatever fruit you want to eat. Auntie will take care of it for a while."
"Let's help you, Auntie!"
Chen Xiaoyun and the others helped and brought in all the fruits placed on the stall outside the door.
We will be closed this afternoon, so we need to bring the fruits stored outside into the store.
The three of them helped to move all the fruits outside, and Uncle Minsheng also came back after finishing the work.
"Uncle Minsheng!"
Chen Xiaoyun and Chen Xiaonan greeted each other.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaonan, you are here too." Uncle Minsheng smiled and nodded.
"Well, come to the city to watch the dragon boat race!"
"Have you packed it up?"
"Pack it up, daddy!" the aunt responded.
"Let's go, Dad, Mom, close the door and go back to eat." Chen Xiaohu said.
"Uncle Minsheng, why don't you drive your minivan back? You can pick the lychees from my lychee garden and sell them," Chen Xiaoyun said.
"More or less?" Uncle Minsheng asked.
"Not much, probably only a few hundred catties." Chen Xiaoyun said.
The lychees in his lychee garden are very sparse, and the yield from one lychee tree is only about two to three kilograms.
There is no one to take care of it all year round, so the amount of fruit hanging is naturally pitiful.
"That's okay!"
Uncle Minsheng nodded. If there were too many, he would let Chen Xiaoyun sell them to the buyer himself.
"Mom, come and take my car. Just let my dad drive back." Chen Xiaohu dragged his mother to his car.
Looking at Chen Xiaohu's car, his mother was furious.
"Look at you, you spend the money you have. You, Brother Xiaoyun, haven't even bought such an expensive car, so you won't save the money to buy a house or marry a wife..."
Auntie scolded her loudly.
"Mom, I'm only twenty years old and haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet. My brother is still studying and he's not married yet. How can I get married? I'm confused. Get in the car!" Chen Xiaohu opened the passenger compartment and Push his mother up.
Chen Xiaonan came to take Chen Xiaoyun’s car!
Back in Chenjiacun, Chen Xiaonan went back, and he also wanted to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with his mother.
Chen Xiaoyun parked the car, picked some lychees from the yard, brought some cicada monkeys, took some fish from the freezer, and went to the second grandfather's house.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and he is also here to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival!
Otherwise, it would be too deserted for him to be alone.
"Come here and sit down, you kid, why do you bring so many things here?" Second Grandma greeted quickly.
"Second Grandma, let's cook these fish for dinner tonight!" Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Uncle Minsheng, Auntie, please try it. This is the lychee from my yard. It's delicious."
"Let me try that lychee tree in your yard!" Uncle Minsheng picked one, peeled it and ate it.
"Um!?"
After finishing the lychees, Uncle Minsheng said: "Xiaoyun, are you lying to uncle? It's not like I've never eaten the lychees from that lychee tree in your yard, how could it be so delicious!?"
Seeing Uncle Minsheng's disbelief, Chen Xiaoyun smiled.
"Dad, the lychee tree at Brother Xiaoyun's house produced lychees this year. They are indeed very delicious. We have been eating them for a long time. I am not lying to you. If you don't believe me, ask your grandparents. They eat them often too." Chen Xiaohu said at this time.
"Let me try it. Is it delicious?" Auntie was also very curious.
"It's really delicious. It's just the best lychee, the kind you can't even buy on the market." Uncle Minsheng said.
Auntie picked one, peeled it and ate it.
"It's sweet and delicious, with a refreshing fragrance without any sourness. It's really delicious." After eating it, my aunt couldn't help but praise it.
They sell fruit, and they will know if the lychees are good or not as soon as they eat them.
"That's right, Brother Xiaoyun always sells it for two hundred and one catty." Chen Xiaohu said.
"The price of two hundred and one catty is low. People will buy this kind of lychee for five hundred or eight hundred yuan. It's hard to find this kind of top-quality lychee." Uncle Minsheng said.
Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile: "That's for sale to a friend. It's just a tree. It can't bear many lychees, so I won't sell it for takeout."
"If I sell it to a friend, I can definitely get it at this price." Minsheng nodded.
"Come on, it's time to eat. I've been waiting for you for a long time," the second grandma said.
"Let's go eat first!"
On the table, there is a table of dishes, roast goose, roast duck, boiled chicken, steamed fish, rice dumplings...
"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, I want to drink some realgar wine." The second grandfather took out the brewed realgar wine and poured a small cup each.
"Dad, Mom, come, I wish you good health and a hundred years of blessings like the East Sea." Uncle Minsheng held up a cup to honor the second grandfather and second grandmother.
"You two are always busy. Fortunately, Xiaohu is with us so that we are not too lonely..." The second grandfather may have started to nag because he was getting older.
"Yes, yes, we will take more time to come back and accompany you two elders in the future." Uncle Minsheng said quickly.
Everyone started to eat and chat about home affairs.
"Xiaoyun, uncle, I want to touch you too. Thank you for leading Xiaohu on the right path and not letting him mess around." Uncle Minsheng raised the cup and said to Chen Xiaoyun.
"What are you talking about outsiders, Uncle Minsheng, he is my younger brother, I will definitely hold him, our family is one ancestor." Chen Xiaoyun raised his glass and clinked it with Uncle Minsheng.
"Xiaohu, this kid, doesn't like to study, and he doesn't have much ability. He can make money and buy a car because of you. Uncle, I have to thank you." Uncle Minsheng said sincerely.
"Dad, am I as bad as you say?" Chen Xiaohu said with a twitching corner of his mouth.
"I don't know how much you are worth, you loser?" Minsheng rolled his eyes at Chen Xiaohu.
Chen Xiaohu didn't dare to speak anymore, fearing that his father would betray him.
After all, it was really shameful to live stream to single digits and barely survive by fishing.
"Okay, why are you yelling at him? During the Dragon Boat Festival, the whole family eats in peace and harmony." The second grandfather glared at Uncle Minsheng.
Uncle Minsheng's momentum was so strong that he was almost on his last legs.
Kissing someone a generation apart makes perfect sense!
After lunch, many people sat and chatted under the trees in the square, and a few old people played cards.
There are not many entertainment activities in the countryside. They just sit together and chat.
Chen Xiaoyun and the three of them can't afford to sit down with these uncles and grandfathers.
After the three of them had lunch, they went to fish for snails in the deserted fields!
It’s been a long time since I’ve fished for snails to eat. Today happened to be fine and it was cloudy, so it was just right to fish for snails.
"Why don't you use a net to catch some of these little fish and fry them!" Chen Xiaohu said.
In the wasteland, there are many small fish as big as a little finger, densely packed and grouped together.
The eels in the wasteland are very aggressive and will prey on these small fish.
In the past, water birds would also prey on these small fishes. Since Haidongqing Xiaobai settled on the roof, few water birds dared to come to the deserted fields.
These small fish look a lot like wheatear fish.
"If you want to eat, go get a net and catch it." Chen Xiaoyun said.
These small fish, nourished by the spiritual spring water in the wasteland, must be unusually delicious.
Chen Xiaohu trotted back, brought a small net, and started fishing for small fish.
River shrimps are also quite big. If you pick them up from the aquatic plants with a net, you can catch some river shrimps, which are as big as a little finger.
"These river shrimps are quite big!"
In these more than ten acres of wasteland, there are abundant water plants and nourished by spiritual spring water. There are many snails, river shrimps, and small fish larvae.
In just one hour, a large bucket of snails was caught.
Chen Xiaohu also caught half a bucket of river shrimps and small fish!
"Hehe, the food to go with the wine tonight is delicious." Chen Xiaohu said with a smile.
"Catch a few eels and go back to eat!" Chen Xiaoyun said again.
The eel nourished by these spiritual spring water can not only strengthen yang, but also nourish yin. It is rich in nutrients. If the elderly eat it, their sleep quality will also improve.
The three of them caught another dozen golden eels before going back.
Each eel is about half a catty in size.
Pour the snail into a large basin, wash it clean, and pour water into it to spit out the sediment.
Chen Xiaonan brought some river shrimps, small fish, and eels back.
The rest all mentioned Chen Xiaohu’s family!
