With Xiao Jiu's appearance, people who didn't know better would probably think that he was worried about the fruit tree growing legs on its own and running away.
Su Xiaotian stood under the big pear tree, and the scent of soft pear trees was stronger than elsewhere.
She looked up and had to say that the tree king was the tree king, tall and mighty, looking down on the younger ones around him.
Smelling the unique fragrance of soft pear, Su Xiaotian's saliva almost dropped.
In her heart, there is no other fruit that makes her dream like soft pear.
After rebirth, I finally waited until the soft pear was ripe.
"Second brother, second brother, hurry up!" Xiaojiu shouted, jumping up and down, extremely anxious.
He also wanted to climb the tree, but because he was too young, Grandma Su was afraid that he would fall and would not allow him to climb the tree.
Finally, the three brothers from the Su family, the six eldest children of the younger generation, and Li Zhuzhu were the ones who went up to the tree to pick fruits.
A dozen people climbed up the tree like monkeys, fighting each other on the huge pear tree.
The remaining people are responsible for waiting under the tree for the basket to be full, then lowering it along the rope, and then stacking the pears together.
Everyone got busy, and Su Xiaotian, who was bored, finally got the opportunity to communicate with Lao Lishu.
She stretched out her white little hand and gently touched the thick trunk of the old pear tree, and sure enough she heard the old pear tree's hoarse voice.
Su Xiaotian immediately started talking to the old pear tree. In order not to look stupid, Su Xiaotian stroked the old pear tree and turned it around and around.
No one noticed what Su Xiaotian was doing, they just thought she was playing in circles around the old pear tree.
Su Xiaotian, who has the beautiful heart of grass and trees, is chatting with the old pear tree, telling some interesting things about the Red Heart Brigade, stories she has never heard of, and the rise and fall of families like the Red Heart Brigade.
The old pear tree is much older than the oldest person in the Heart Team. No one knows when it was planted. Even Grandpa Su said that this has been an old pear tree since he can remember.
From the old pear tree, Su Xiaotian learned a lot about the old almanac.
Su Xiaotian found that besides reading, chatting with trees was also very interesting.
It is indeed true to say that an elder in a family is like a treasure. Experience and knowledge are very important.
"Old Lishu, did you know that there used to be a rich man here? I heard that there is no one at home anymore."
Su Xiaotian suddenly remembered this and asked.
"I know, you are talking about the Pei family." Lao Lishu's voice was still hoarse, but Su Xiaotian felt that his tone had changed a bit.
"Pei family?"
"In the early years, I was brought here by the Pei family." The old pear tree added: "The Pei family is a real family that accumulates charity, but it's a pity..."
Su Xiaotian didn't expect that Lao Lishu and the rich man's family, oh, the Pei family in Lao Lishu's mouth, had such a connection.
"Then do you know where his descendants have gone?"
"I don't know. I just remember that when the bandits came that year, the Pei family hid all their valuables in advance, but they were captured by the bandits. I could only see the things around me. The Pei family was arrested
After I left, I didn’t know. Later, someone said that everyone in the Pei family was killed by bandits! I don’t know if it’s true!”
Su Xiaotian felt that Lao Lishu's voice was full of loss and sadness, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Old Lishu, lucky people have their own destiny. I heard that your original owner, the Pei family, was a good family, so they will definitely escape disaster." Su Xiaotian didn't know why she said such words to appease Laoli.
Tree.
"Oh, it's all over. Old Lishu, I'm already old, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few more years." Old Lishu said in a hoarse voice: "It's been several decades, but the Pei family is alone.
None of them have come back, I’m afraid it’s unlikely that they will come back!”
Su Xiaotian didn't know how to comfort the sad old pear tree. She could only stretch out her tender white hands and slowly stroke the rough trunk of the old pear tree.
"Little girl, the Pei family has hidden all the treasures in four places. Can I ask you to protect them for me? For ten years, if the Pei family does not come back, the treasures will be yours. If within ten years
, if someone from the Pei family comes back, you will return the Pei family’s property to the original owner."
Su Xiaotian was startled and said, "Old Lishu, this is not okay."
"When Lao Lishu dies, even if the Pei family comes back, they won't be able to find the treasures. Therefore, Lao Lishu is begging you."
Su Xiaotian was silent. Unexpectedly, plants and trees were also sentient.
"I promise you, Old Lishu, if you tell me the location, I will never touch those treasures within ten years." Su Xiaotian finally decided to agree.
As expected, Lao Lishu told Su Xiaotian four addresses, but what puzzled Su Xiaotian was that among them, the box of gold and silver jewelry on the mountain was not included.
"Old Lishu, I picked up a box on the mountain. Isn't that the property of the Pei family?"
"On the mountain?" The old pear tree said two words and then fell silent.
There was silence for a long time, and just when Su Xiaotian thought she had suddenly lost her ability to communicate, Lao Lishu finally spoke again.
"Those years happened so long ago that Lao Lishu almost forgets them. After thinking about it for a long time, those treasures were probably hidden by bandits and should have nothing to do with the Pei family."
Su Xiaotian felt relieved. It just had nothing to do with the Pei family. Even if other people's money was kept in her own home, it still felt like it was not her own.
If the bandits keep it, there will be no pressure when they use it in the future!
Su Xiaotian was planning to continue chatting with Lao Lishu, but suddenly she heard a noisy sound not far away.
The communication was interrupted, and Su Xiaotian looked towards the source of the quarrel.
I followed the sound and looked over. It was a bit far away, and with the shadow of the trees, I couldn't see it clearly.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with her, it would be more fun to chat with Lao Lishu!
Su Xiaotian didn't have much curiosity, so she turned around again and wanted to continue chatting with Lao Lishu.
But the noise there is getting louder and louder, which really ruins people's mood.
"What's going on with those educated youths? They just picked a pear, and the one they got was the smallest tree. Why were they so quarrelsome?" Grandma Su said with a hint of disgust.
"It has nothing to do with us!" Li Zhuzi is now very respectful to the educated youth!
Captain Su Jiujiu couldn't stand hearing it anymore, so he had to put down his fruit trees and step in to coordinate and solve the problem.
"What's going on with you guys?" Su Changjiu said with a straight face.
"Captain, your arrangement is unreasonable. None of us can climb a tree. How are we going to pick this fruit?" Kang Yiye stood under the tree with his arms folded and said with a half-smile.
Kang Yiye has been back for some time, but since her return, Zhiqingdian has refused to have her.
The educated youths also have good reasons. They say that if such a person with a bad reputation lives in an educated youth spot, it will affect the reputation of all educated youths.
As the captain of the brigade, Su Jiujiu had no choice. After Kang Yiye's quilt was thrown out from the educated youth point several times, he could only find someone to repair the dilapidated house in the village where a poor family had lived and give it to Kang Yiye.
Live temporarily.
It would be fine if Kang Yiye was a self-respecting person, but she is not.
It was more convenient to live alone in the village, so she consciously or unconsciously started to hook up with the men in the village.
Although the atmosphere of the Red Heart Brigade is pretty good, there are still a few men who do not control their lower bodies and become Kang Yiye's guests for having such a proactive woman who does not require men to pay any price.
After the news spread, the educated youth were even more ashamed. Not only did they not talk to her, but even if they saw her, they would stay away from her.
But when we were picking fruits today, the team leader asked the educated youth to take charge of a tree. At first, the educated youth planned to endure it, but Kang Yiye not only refused to work, but also spoke sarcastically, and the conflict arose.
Several educated youths were trying hard to pick fruits, but because of Kang Yiye, they left their baskets under the tree and stopped moving.
Kang Yiye had just finished speaking. Before Su Jiujiu could speak, he heard a male educated youth say: "Captain, let's work together with the members of the brigade. We are really not good at climbing trees."
How could Su Jiujiu not know that the problem was not that they were not good at climbing trees, but that they were unwilling to pick fruits with Kang Yiye?
Male educated youths are afraid of being entangled with Kang Yiye, while female educated youths are afraid of getting close to Kang Yiye and ruining their reputation.
In fact, few people in the team were willing to pick fruits with Kang Yiye.
He also took this into consideration before putting the educated youth together.
Su Jiujiu glanced around everyone's faces and said, "You all think so?"
Several educated youths immediately nodded to express that they all thought so.
"Since you all want to pick fruits with the members, then you can find the members who are willing to form a team with you. I am not responsible for the distribution."
The captain really didn't want to pay attention to it, but he had to pay attention to it.
These educated youth kids are not good at anything and are the first to find trouble.
But the captain couldn't say this, lest others say he was discriminating.
The captain just expressed his stance here, and several educated youths were already heading towards the families they liked, their steps were as fast as if they were oiled.
The two teachers in the school looked at each other and went straight to Old Su's house.
One is that they feel that the old Su family is more powerful and will complete the task quickly; the other is that they are familiar with the people of the old Su family.
After all, in the entire Red Hearts brigade, there are very few people who can send their children to school.
After sharing their ideas, Grandpa Su and Grandma Su expressed that they were welcome to join.
He also made it clear that when he finished picking the fruits from this pear tree, he would just pick all the fruits from the tree where they were educated youths.
The other educated youths also had families they had chosen for a long time, and all of them defected to them, and they were all successfully taken in.
Finally, under the original pear tree, only Kangyi leaves were left.
Kang Yiye's expression was not very good. How could these people think that she couldn't tell that they disliked her?
We are all educated youths, who is more noble than the other?
After sweeping around the garden, Kang Yiye walked in the direction of Accountant Li's house with a soft and frail look.
Accountant Li and Su Taohua, with their children, were busy picking fruits.
Su Taohua is a very efficient and capable person, and she works enthusiastically with her children, but Accountant Li pretends to be a cultured person, and plays the easy job and shirks the hard job.
At this moment, Kang Yi Ye's soft and weak voice sounded.
"Brother Li, sister-in-law, can I join you in picking fruits?"
Kang Yiye's voice was a little delicate and soft, even a little bit coquettish.
It's hard for a man to resist such a voice.
As expected, Accountant Li immediately felt that half of his body was numb.
In the Red Heart Brigade, he is the door-to-door son-in-law. People here either call him Accountant Li, or brother-in-law, uncle, etc. From Accountant Li's point of view, these are all subordinate positions.
Kang Yiye calls her "Brother Li" and calls her "Sister-in-law", which greatly satisfies Accountant Li's self-esteem as a man.
He didn't even ask Su Taohua if she agreed, but said directly: "Yes, of course!"
Su Taohua looked down on women like Kang Yiye and snorted coldly.
Accountant Li finally reacted, but looking at Su Taohua's cold face, and then looking at Kang Yiye's smiling face, he instantly felt that a woman should be like Kang Yiye.
Accountant Li, who was obsessed with sex, no longer cared about the thoughts of his family's yellow-faced woman, and said directly: "I am the accountant of the brigade, and it is appropriate for Kang Zhiqing to come to my house! As a cadre, I have the obligation to help the educated youth comrades!"
Kang Yiye smiled softly and thanked Accountant Li. Her look was truly charming.
Accountant Li listened to Kang Yiye's voice and then thought about his tigress, feeling that his life was really at risk.
Then I thought about a woman like Kang Zhiqing who came from the city, was so beautiful, and could talk to me like that. If I could marry such a woman, I would really live a good life.
Su Taohua cared about Accountant Li's face and didn't want to touch him in front of so many people, so she ignored Kang Yiye and was busy working.
Little did he know that the heart of the man so close to him had already drifted to another woman.
Kang Yiye took the initiative to communicate with Accountant Li, and Accountant Li was constantly attentive.
Su Taohua was so angry that she almost hit the two people on the head with the basket in her hand, but she finally held back.
But the people around him were always pointing and looking at him.
Someone even shouted at Accountant Li: "Accountant Li, what are you doing?"
"Help the educated youth comrades from the city, Su Xiaohua, you can't look at the problem in such a narrow-minded way." Accountant Li said righteously: "Kang educated youth is a weak lesbian, how can I, a big man, help her?
?”
Su Taohua was so angry at these words that she glared at her man and called to the children: "Let's go, let's change a tree, and leave this tree to your father!"
Su Taohua's children looked at Kang Yiye with angry expressions. The youngest son even grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it on Kang Yiye, with very angry eyes.
"Oh, what are you doing? Accountant Li, your family doesn't seem to welcome me. Oh, it's my fault. I'll go over there and pick it alone!" Kang Yiye pretended to leave.
"Kang Zhiqing, don't worry about them. This kid has been spoiled by his mother. Let's see if I don't skin him when I get back!" Accountant Li glared at his youngest son fiercely and comforted Kang Yiye.
Fortunately, Su Taohua had already gone far at this time, otherwise, she would probably be pissed to death by Accountant Li's words.
Everyone is working, take some time to watch the farce here.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of a car.
This voice has appeared in the Hearts Brigade several times, and everyone in the Hearts Brigade is used to hearing it.
"The big leader of the county is here again." I don't know who spoke first.
"That is, the big leader in the county,"
Someone else said: "I don't know if Manxiu is back together."
"Does she still have the nerve to come back?" Liu Xiuying snorted and said, "A woman who doesn't even care about her own man!"
"Liu Xiuying, this is your fault!" someone said with disdain.
"What's wrong with me? Men are women's gods. Is it reasonable for Su Manxiu to bring his gods to the mines?" Liu Xiuying curled her lips and said.
Fortunately, everyone in the brigade knew what kind of character Liu Xiuying was, so they didn't care about her.
Under everyone's gaze, Su Manxiu and Chen Zian got out of the car one after another.
The people in the brigade looked at Su Manxiu and all said, "This baby Manxiu looks even younger than before."
I have to say that Su Manxiu's energy and spirit are much better now than before.
During this time in the city, I have gained a little bit of meat. It is not as thin as before, and my complexion is naturally much better.
Her skin also looked much smoother and shiny, with a little blush on her shy look, which made her even more beautiful.
In addition, she was rarely wearing a new set of clothes and new shoes given to her by Qi Liangying, making her look several years younger.
"Xiu'er, are you back?" Seeing that her eldest daughter was doing well, Grandma Su's depression these days was finally relieved.
In fact, she has always been worried about what to do if her eldest daughter does not have a good life in the city? But she dare not say it out for fear of worrying other people in the family.
Now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she can finally feel at ease.
"Mom, I'm on vacation, so I'll go home and take a look." Su Manxiu smiled and took Grandma Su's hand.
"Auntie, are you picking fruits today?" Chen Zian looked at the busy scene and asked with a smile.
Grandma Su felt that Chen Zian seemed a little different this time from before, but she couldn't figure out what the difference was.
Of course, the main reason is that now she is so focused on her daughter that she has no time to think about Chen Zian's problems.
"Yes, the fruits of this old pear tree in our brigade are very sweet. You came at the right time today. We distributed the fruits in the afternoon, and Minister Chen also brought some back to have a taste."
Chen Zian didn't say he wanted it, nor did he say he didn't want it. He looked at the people on the tree and said cheerfully: "Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, you two come down, and I will go up and pick it faster than you."
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are still a little younger after all. Although they are very lively, their picking speed is not a little slower than others.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu looked at each other and got off the tree obediently. Chen Zian climbed up the tree three times, and went to the highest place on the tree.
This position is too high, and most people would not dare to go up, but Chen Zian went up very easily.
Moreover, Chen Zian's hands and feet were flexible and he picked fruits very quickly, and he quickly picked a basket full of fruits.
He said that the basket was tied to the straw rope and then placed all the way under the tree.
The five and six children immediately stepped forward and poured the fruits in the basket on the ground with admiration.
"Uncle Chen is indeed much better than us."
"Uncle Chen is the most powerful, and I will be as powerful as Uncle Chen in the future.
