After the Maomaos were completely weaned, Shen Wuqiu was finally freed from the day and night life of a mother.
Ever since Father Shen opened the door to the new world of online shopping, he would always look at it on his mobile phone. In this era of big data, major online platforms are like roundworms in his belly, always following his preferences. Come and recommend, not to mention young people who understand the routines can't resist this temptation, Dad Shen who doesn't understand the routines buys it without hesitation.
In addition, there is a wealthy aunt at home, so the two of them compete at home to buy toys for Maomao, which just satisfies the pups' strong curiosity and desire to explore.
The cubs were either jumping up and down to unlock new toys every day, or the sisters were wrestling and chewing them. Basically, as long as Shen Wuqiu was not hanging around in front of them, the cubs would not take the initiative to pester her as a mother.
At the beginning, Shen Wuqiu was still worried, fearing that the neighbors would see through his unusual group of cubs, so every day when he got up, he would give instructions to several cubs not to play with their transformations in front of others.
After worrying for a few days, Shen Wuqiu felt relieved when he saw that his cubs were working steadily as furballs.
Without her cubs pestering her, she thought that her maternity leave should be about the same and she should find something to do.
It just so happens that the weather has been good recently, and Uncle Zheng is not idle either. He and Shen Wuqiu applied for a fee two days ago, intending to use it to maintain the fruit trees in Xishan.
Although the current survival rate of these bayberry trees is good, these are big trees and may still die if they are not properly maintained in the future.
Shen Wuqiu has not gone to see the bayberry since the fruiting period ended. This time she went around with Uncle Zheng and the others. She was not a professional fruit farmer and couldn't see anything good about it, so she could only treat Zheng as a fruit farmer. Uncle said it and silently made a note in his mind.
After walking around the Yangmei Garden, she walked to the Ponkan Garden above. Duan Guodong was leading an old man to fertilize the Ponkan trees.
"Hey, the eldest sister is in confinement, can't you wait to come out and have some fun?" Duan Guodong was a little surprised when he saw her coming.
The area in Xishan is neither big nor small. Shen Wuqiu was afraid that Uncle Zheng would be too busy by himself, so she arranged for Duan Guodong to come over. She did not specifically break down their tasks, nor did she say anything. Who is the leader of the orchard? The two of them will make arrangements for themselves. Uncle Zheng will be responsible for the bayberry garden below, and Duan Guodong will take charge of the ponkan garden above. But how to do it, other than communicating with her as the boss? He would also take the initiative to talk to Uncle Zheng, which can be regarded as treating Uncle Zheng as the boss.
Shen Wuqiu smiled and asked him: "Why don't you invite more people?"
"It's not because the weather has been good recently, but I also want to keep the wealth from going to outsiders, right? I saw that my dad had nothing to do at home, so I asked him to I'm here to help, I think we, father and son, can get it done in ten days and a half." Duan Guodong always talks like this, no matter what he says, it feels like he is joking.
As he spoke, he walked further into the garden. Not long after, he came out again with two more ponkans in his hand.
"Uh..." Shen Wuqiu's eyes shone slightly, "Do ponkan trees also bear fruit?" "
When I transplanted them, I saw a few trees that looked like they were about to bloom. I thought they wouldn't bloom this year either. It will bear fruit." Duan Guodong gave her the ponkans. "I counted, of the many trees, only three trees bore fruit. One tree bore eighteen trees, but in the end only three were left; one tree bore five. But the whole army was wiped out; there was still one plant, and it only produced one, and here, this is it."
Shen Wuqiu took a closer look at the ponkan, "This looks a bit malnourished, and the skin is almost yellow. Are they ripe?"
"It will be sweeter after frost. But it can be picked now. However, the fresh ponkan fruit may be a bit sour. When the fruit is produced in large quantities next year, pick it and store it for a period of time, and the taste will be better. . Do you want to taste it first?"
Shen Wuqiu nodded.
Fresh ponkan peels are rich in juice. She peeled half of them, and the green-yellow juice was all over her hands. At the same time, the sour taste hit her face.
As soon as she smelled the smell, she was a little afraid to take it, "This smells so sour." "
This is the smell of ponkan peel."
Shen Wuqiu glanced at him, then broke off the peeled half and gave it to him, " Why don't I give you a taste first?"
Duan Guodong looked fearless, took the ponkan and put it into his mouth.
Shen Wuqiu looked at him, "Is it sour?"
Duan Guodong looked as usual, "No, it's quite tasty."
Hearing this, Shen Wuqiu also broke off a piece, and then bit the pulp with his teeth. When it broke, her whole mouth twisted with sourness, and she quickly spit out the pulp.
Duan Guodong laughed loudly, and then his whole face became sour and twisted, but he still had the courage to eat half of the ponkan.
After Shen Wuqiu finished vomiting, he drank several times of water and rinsed his mouth before he felt better, "Why is this so sour?" "
This is normal." Duan Guodong was not worried, "They may not be accustomed to the climate. It will be fine after one or two years of raising it and it will be confirmed."
Shen Wuqiu looked at his unreasonable tone and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you worried that our fruit seedlings were not selected well? Then it won't be Was all your efforts in vain?"
"No." Duan Guodong said confidently: "In recent years, the country has vigorously developed the rural economy. Fruit trees like these put into the countryside are basically improved varieties. As long as they are properly maintained, there will basically be no major problems. It's a problem."
He finally said something reliable.
Duan Guodong gave her another ponkan, "This one is from another tree. Although the two I picked before were a bit sour, they were much sweeter than the one you just picked. Do you want to try it again?" Shen Wuqiu kept asking. Shaking his head,
"I'll leave it to you."
Duan Guodong laughed at her, "I really didn't lie to you this time. Besides, I think it will be sweeter if it grows in a sunny place."
Shen Wuqiu still didn't want it.
Duan Guodong forced it into her hand, "You have to have more confidence in your own fruit trees."
It's hard to refuse kindness.
Shen Wuqiu had no choice but to take it, wipe it, and stuff the fruit into his coat pocket.
After chatting with her for a while, Duan Guodong went back to work.
Shen Wuqiu said hello to his father, and then he didn't stay long. He walked around for a while and then went back down the mountain.
When I went back, I happened to see Su Zhongmin and Wu Xiulan parking their car outside the iron gate.
"Hi, Wu Qiu, come back..." Wu Xiulan jumped off the tricycle and came over to greet her.
Shen Wuqiu forced out a smile, hesitated for a few seconds, and then called them, "Second uncle, second aunt."
Wu Xiulan stopped suddenly, her expression was startled, and after several seconds, she responded excitedly. Several times: "Hey, hey, hey..."
This really flattered them.
When Shen Wuqiu was young, he would not talk to them during the New Year or holidays, and would not give them red envelopes. Now he is not as cold as he was when he was a child, but he does not take the initiative to call people. If he has anything to say, he will say it directly.
Their reactions made Shen Wuqiu a little uncomfortable. She raised her hand to brush her hair and changed the subject, "Why are you free to come here today? It seems you didn't listen to mom either."
She opened her mouth to call her second uncle and second aunt. Firstly, it was for the sake of Su Yunzhi's stepmother. Secondly, she also felt that the couple was somewhat sincere towards her. If nothing else, it was just a full moon gift for her son. My second aunt gave me a sweater knitted by myself. Although it may not necessarily come in handy, it can be regarded as the elder's wish.
"It's nothing." Wu Xiulan was afraid that she would cause trouble to others, "Let's put down our things and leave."
As she said this, she asked Su Zhongmin to move things from the tricycle, "Recently, the wild kiwis on our mountain are ripe. , The weather has been nice recently, and it's quite sweet, so I'll bring you some, and you all can try it." It
can be seen that neither of these two people are clever people, Wu Xiulan's face turned red when she spoke, and she He spoke quickly and urgently, for fear of Shen Wuqiu's rejection, he lifted a few baskets down and hurriedly moved them into the yard.
"Wild kiwi fruit?" This was the first time Shen Wuqiu had heard of it. He picked one out of the basket. Except that it was not as hairy and a little smaller, it was not much different from the kiwi fruit bought in the fruit shop. "This is Is it really wild, or is it just the variety of kiwi you grow?"
"It's wild, grown on the mountain itself." Seeing that she didn't refuse, Wu Xiulan introduced her enthusiastically, "Don't worry, these are all pure Natural, without any medicine. The ones in the basket here are those that have been covered at home for a few days and are edible. The two baskets here are fresh ones picked in the past two days. It is estimated that they will need to be covered for two days, otherwise I'm afraid it's a bit astringent."
"This is too much. You should keep some for yourself." "
No, no, no. We went early this year and picked five to six hundred catties. We still have a lot at home. If you like it, give it to us. Make a call..."
While talking, Su Yunzhi heard the noise and came out of the house. When he saw his second brother and second sister-in-law, he was not very enthusiastic, "Why don't you come inside when you are here? They are all standing there. What are you doing outside?"
As soon as she came out, the few rolling around in the house immediately caught wind and ran out one by one, heading straight to Shen Wuqiu's feet, "Meow~" "If I have
something to do at home, I'll send it to you. I just came back after ordering something and didn't bother to go into the house." Wu Xiulan chatted with Su Yunzhi from a distance. She felt something near her feet and looked down. It was a small orange fur ball. When she saw her looking over, the orange fur ball also raised its head. Looking at her, "Meow~"
[You smell so sweet, what are you hiding~]
Wu Xiulan couldn't understand the meow language, but thinking about the big white cat that was so precious to the Shen family before, she didn't show any dislike. , plus this fat fur ball is indeed cute, she thought about it, and replied dryly to the fat fur ball: "Meow..."
She didn't understand, but Shen Wuqiu, the mother, was She could understand, but felt extremely embarrassed, and quickly picked up Si Mao, "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Wu Xiulan quickly shook her head, "No, no, are all these kittens your family? They are all fine. Cute."
Shen Wuqiu just smiled, and hugged both of them who were still working tirelessly to pull her pants off to compete for her favor. She also said hello to Da Mao and Ah Shu, who were standing aside obediently, and then followed. Su Yunzhi advised Wu Xiulan and his wife together: "It's a rare trip. Let's eat before leaving."
"No need. The transportation is not as convenient as before." Wu Xiulan waved her hand and pointed to the baskets in the yard, "I know. You don't lack anything, but everyone says this food is delicious and nutritious. If you like it, just call." "You are
really too polite."
"Why are you so polite..." Wu Xiulan said as she spoke Bian and Su Zhongmin walked to the tricycle, refusing to listen to any advice. After saying hello, the two drove the tricycle back.
Shen Wuqiu and the others stood at the gate, watching the couple drive away before moving the three large baskets of kiwis inside.
"Ouch, where did you buy so many kiwis?" Zhao Jiujiu happened to come out of the bathroom and saw several baskets of kiwis placed in the hall, so he asked casually and wanted to take one to try.
"Auntie, take the basket over there." Shen Wuqiu pointed to a basket for her, "Second Uncle Wu Jun and the others just sent it over. They said it was wild picked from the mountains, so they sent us some to try. "
It's wild, oh, this is really... This is good stuff. It just so happens that I've been a little angry these days and have ulcers in my mouth." Zhao Jiujiu picked a soft one.
"Auntie has eaten it before?"
"Yes, it was given as a gift before." Zhao Jiujiu said while peeling the skin familiarly.
As a result, as soon as the skin was peeled off and before it was even brought to the mouth, Si Mao cut off the beard.
"..."
Si Mao really eats it, and it tastes delicious.
"..." The corners of Zhao Jiujiu's mouth twitched, "No wonder I'm so fat."
