  Now I can't stay in the forest house for a few days, and I don't have time to dry and process the herbs. Fang Xi decided not to collect herbs, but to pick some seeds. I put on coarse clothes over the cotton clothes, and set off to their yard to call it. . After knocking on the door, it took him a long time to come back, the corners of his eyes were green, Fang Xi touched his tired face, and asked with a smile: " You

know you are tired now!"

Leaning on Fang Xi's shoulder and humming: "Well, I'm so tired, he doesn't stop."

Fang Xi: "Then do you still want to go out with me? Why don't you rest at home today?"

Zhizhi shook his head: "No no no, I'm going. I'm too bored to be at home alone."

The frost in early winter is approaching, and the cold air invades the skin. It's still very comfortable when the sun rises and feels the warm sun. Shadows came through, clusters of beams of light pierced through the water mist, the light and shadow overlapped, the clouds and smoke were misty, like a fairyland.

Zhizhi watched the mist gather and disperse in the light beam, and sighed as he walked: "Fang Fang, have we reached the sky? Why is this place so beautiful?" Fang Xi put his hand

into the light beam, and Chen Xi outlined his fingers like white jade. Warm velvet. Fang Xi smiled: "It's so beautiful, I don't know why I feel very moved when I look at such a scene, it's like a gift from God suddenly." After that: "God sent us an even

better gift!"

Fang Xi: "What?"

Zhi Zhi: "What do you think that tree is?"

Fang Xi looked at it and suddenly laughed: "It's

a jujube tree!"

The two found a rock covered with moss in the withered grass, and moved them together under the jujube tree. Fang Xi said, "One, two, three!" With the sound of the rock hitting, there was a patter of orange-yellow lights under the jujube tree. The jujube rain, the two bear it with their necks in their mouths, and they smiled: "Ah! There are jujubes in my neck!"

Fang Xi put down the rock with him, and came closer: "Where is it? I'll take it out for you.

" Zhizhi turned his head, but the jujube was stuck on his collar, Fang Xi took it off for him and said, "Let's go, pick up the jujube in a basket." The two of them picked up a lot of yellow jujubes under the tree, the big ones had thumbs. It is as big as a knot, and there will be tiny brown spots on the small oval yellow fruit. The two tore off the outer skin and tasted each. One of them picked it up and said: "When we go back to make jujube cake, let's put pumpkins instead of sweet potatoes. The pumpkins grown by mother should be older ,

overripe ones, and full of sweetness. Adding them will make them sweeter."

Xi: "Okay, I need to add more powdered sugar, this is too sour, add sugar to neutralize it, sour and sweet." Zhi Zhi

: "Fang Fang, the side of the water stream on the ditch is the one we picked before . Are there figs in the place of Sophora flavescens?"

Fang Xi: "Yes, when we went to see it earlier, it was still a small green one, but it should be red now, and we will have a look later." After stepping on the withered

yellow Branches, thin buds grow on the soft loess, passing through the shrubs and coming to the water stream with thin streams, and the water with fallen leaves is so clear that you can see the tiny moss flowers growing on the bottom of the water, The sound of gurgling water was endless, and large gray stones overlapped. They walked on the natural stone steps, and finally saw the overripe sauce-red figs.

Fang Xi pulled the branch down and pressed it down, and said to him: "Pick it quickly, look at how many

figs there are on this bunch !" Twigs, don't be in a hurry, try one and see."

Zhizhi peeled off the fig, and the milky white flesh was wrapped with a circle of red flesh. It tasted sweet and soft, Zhizhi's eyes lit up and he quickly handed the other half to Fang Xi: "Taste it quickly! It's really delicious!"

Fang Xi took it, scraping the peel with his teeth and biting off the flesh, rolling it to the tip of his tongue, and the sweetness flowed down, Fang Xi smiled: "Hurry up and pick it!" So the two pulled the branch one by

one , Picking figs one by one on the fruit tree neatly. Hearing the sound of the fruits being picked and scattered into the basket, both of them had smiles on their faces.
