Dabao and his two siblings took Chen Bin and the others to the orchard. When Chen Bin and the other six saw the strange fruits laden on the trees, they were stunned and shocked.
"Chen Bin, Wanglong, Boxuan, Chen Rui, Zhijie, Jingyi, do you know what these red fruits are called?" Dabao pointed at an apple tree and asked Chen Bin and the other six.
"What is it? Dabao, tell us.
That big red fruit up there is so tempting. Is it sweet?" Chen Rui looked at the big red apple up there, almost drooling.
His family was poor and could not afford to buy fruit, so he had never seen such a big, red fruit.
I've only ever seen small, green, bitter fruits, so sour and bitter that they make my teeth soften, and so bitter that it feels like eating coptis root. Despite this, they're still hard to find.
All the children in the village were waiting for the fruits to grow quickly. As soon as the small fruits appeared, they were picked up by the children in a rush, and they had no chance to grow and mature.
"Yes! What is it called? It should be delicious and sweet!" Chen Wanglong kissed and swallowed his saliva, as if he had eaten a sweet and juicy fruit.
"Dabao, can you please tell us?" The other children pulled at Dabao's clothes, acted cute, and begged Dabao.
Eye-scorching! When Sanbao saw it, these three words popped into his mind.
"Brothers, Sanbao, do you know what it's called? The big, red fruit on the tree is called an apple, and it's very sweet." Sanbao covered her own eyes with one hand and Xiaohua's with the other. It was too horrible, too irritating to the eyes. She was afraid that she and Xiaohua would vomit yellow bile.
How can a group of older brothers act cute? This is a woman's patent.
"Apples? Are they sweet? Let's climb the tree, pick some apples and taste them." Chen Wanglong rubbed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to climb the tree.
For these rural children, climbing trees is as easy as eating a meal.
Children in rural areas often climb trees to destroy bird eggs and go to rivers to catch fish.
Children in rural areas cannot read or write. The older children help with housework, while the younger children are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins, climbing trees to steal bird eggs and going to the river to catch fish to pass the time.
The other children also rolled up their sleeves, eager to try, and prepared to follow Chen Wanglong to climb the tree and pick fruits.
They are so familiar with climbing trees, which is their strong point, that they don't worry about falling at all.
"Brother Wanglong, you can't climb trees!
My mother said that climbing trees is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall and break your hands or feet. " When Sanbao saw that Chen Wanglong was about to take Chen Bin and the others to climb trees to pick fruit, he was frightened and went to stop them.
My mother often reminded me not to climb trees or go into the river, as these were very dangerous and I could lose my life if I wasn’t careful, and regret it for the rest of my life.
"It's okay, Brother Wanglong is great at climbing trees. Have you forgotten that we climbed trees to pick fruits and ate bird eggs in Qingshan Village?" Chen Wanglong patted his chest and said to Sanbao with a smile.
"Well, we are good at climbing trees too!" The others followed Chen Wanglong, patted their chests and said to Sanbao with a smile.
It's not that they are arrogant. Among the children in the village, they are experts at climbing trees and have many little fans.
“No, you can’t climb trees, it’s dangerous.
If you don't obey, I'll tell mother!"
“No, you can’t climb trees!
If you want to eat apples, I'll ask Uncle Changjiang to pick them."
"Mom said we shouldn't do anything dangerous, and climbing a tree is a dangerous thing!
If you don't obey, tell your mother and let her punish you!"
"Brothers, climbing trees is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will break your hands and feet."
Sanbao, Dabao, Erbao and Xiaohua all opposed Chen Bin and his friends from climbing the tree. What if something unexpected happened?
Four opposing voices and four pairs of eyes glaring at them made them feel a little guilty.
Especially bringing up Li Yun made them feel even more guilty and afraid to refute.
Aunt Yun was extremely angry. Their father, mother, grandfather, and brother at home in the capital had repeatedly stressed that they must listen to Aunt Yun and study hard.
If they caused trouble up there and were sent back, they would break their hands and feet.
Seeing that they realized their mistake, Dabao and his two siblings and Xiaohua stopped talking.
Dabao said to Changjiang respectfully and politely, "Uncle Changjiang, please go up and pick some apples."
"Okay, I'll go up." Changjiang said, and with a light skill, he flew up the tree branch and picked up some big, red apples. He threw them up and An Yi picked them up below.
An Yi picked up some apples and gave one to each of them.
Chen Wanglong took the big apple, which was bright red and very tempting.
He didn't care about his image or hygiene, wiped the apple on his clothes and took a bite.
There is no sour taste, only sweet and fragrant taste.
"Well, it's delicious, fragrant, sweet, crispy and juicy. I have never eaten such delicious fruit." Chen Wanglong said intoxicatedly while eating an apple.
"Yes, it's really delicious! We have never tasted such delicious fruit before. I really want to bring it back for grandpa, parents and brothers to eat.
Even the childhood friends we grew up with have never tasted these delicious fruits.” The others said with regret.
Yes! They had never tasted such delicious fruit.
"You can wait for me to come back and pick a cart of fruits for them to eat." Dabao comforted them.
"Really? Can we pick them back?" Chen Bin and the other six asked happily and excitedly.
If I could really bring some apples back home and let my family and friends taste them, they would definitely be very happy.
"Of course it's true. It's not a big deal." Dabao assured them while eating an apple.
