Too much water will also kill the seedlings.
"Got it!" Zhuangzhuang nodded, and couldn't wait to scoop water to water the vegetables. He carried a small bucket and walked around, very busy.
Xiaoguo had already washed her hands and was ready to go back home, but unexpectedly Zhuangzhuang was still working hard.
"Come into the house after you finish watering." Xiaoguo invited him in. Although the temperature was not too high now, the sun should not be underestimated. If you stay outside for a while, the exposed skin will feel a burning sensation. Zhuangzhuang's little face was already red at this moment, and sweat was faintly coming out from the tip of his nose.
"Right now!"
Zhuangzhuang threw down a sentence and continued to work.
Xiaoguo didn't say anything when she saw this. She turned around and went back into the house. She was so hot that she would catch fire if she stayed outside for any longer.
Xiaoguo was not idle when she returned to the house. She took off all the winter clothes at home and changed into cool and thin clothes.
The same is true every year. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter can basically be planned into two seasons: summer and winter. Spring and autumn seem to have come, but also seem to be just passing by.
Put them all aside where they won’t get in the way. It’s too late to wash them today, so you can only wash them tomorrow.
Not long after, Zhuangzhuang finally came into the house. His little face was red from the sun. Xiaoguo was shocked when he saw him. He looked like a little Guan Gong.
But the boy didn't care at all. He gulped down a gulp of water and then collapsed on the bed.
Xiaoguo looked at it strangely. It was just some water. Why did he look so tired?
Driven by curiosity, she went outside and looked at the vegetable garden. It seemed nothing serious, but she was almost scared to death.
I saw that in the green vegetable field, it was as if there was a flood, and the water in the entire vegetable field was level with the water in the seedling pit.
Xiaoguo came to the water bucket again, looked inside, and found that only the bottom of the two buckets of water he had prepared for him was left. That meant that originally only half a bucket of water was needed, but Zhuangzhuang ended up getting four times as much.
Her seedlings were almost drowned. If she had come half a day later, the seedlings would have definitely been killed.
Xiaoguo went back to the house and took a look at Zhuangzhuang. He wanted to ask him to save the little boy, but he didn't expect that the little boy had already fallen asleep and was snoring. There was no way but to support his old waist and struggle back and forth by himself.
The next day.
Xiaoguo had just finished washing clothes when Mrs. Yang asked her to go out for a walk. She called it exercise, but in fact, she was just helping her pick sour apricots.
"Sister-in-law, where can we find apricots at this time?"
The month is wrong too. Even if it is here, it should not be ripe yet.
"Yes, yes, yes." Sister Yang nodded and said mysteriously, "I heard from Old Yang that there is a wild apricot tree in the back mountain. It is now in a state of being half ripe but not yet ripe, and it is the sourest time."
Mrs. Yang was drooling as she spoke, she was really horny just thinking about it.
Xiao Guo followed her speechlessly, "Why didn't Brother Yang come to pick them for you?"
Brother Yang dotes on her so much, if she wanted to eat it, wouldn't she have come and picked it long ago?
"You're not letting me eat." Sister Yang said, covering her mouth as soon as she finished speaking. "No, no, I just want to take a walk. I've been too lazy lately and my legs are loose."
How could Xiaoguo believe her? He immediately said he would not go.
"Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo, don't go, we're almost there."
Mrs. Yang anxiously grabbed Xiaoguo, who was about to leave, and shook her arm coquettishly.
"Sister-in-law, my brother told you not to eat, so just don't eat. Eating too much is not good for you."
Xiao Guo stopped walking helplessly, turned around and said.
Sour apricots are sour in nature, and eating too many of them is bad for the appetite. It makes sense that Brother Yang doesn't let her eat them. Sister-in-law Yang eats them terribly. She can eat a basket of them a day, and it's still not enough for her to be satisfied.
"I will eat less from today on, seriously!"
Mrs. Yang was afraid that she would not believe it, so she swore an oath in a hurry.
Although Xiaoguo didn't believe it, she was a pregnant woman after all, and he was afraid of getting hurt from pulling and tugging on the hillside, so he nodded reluctantly and agreed to go with her to pick apricots.
Sister Yang was very happy and was afraid that she would change her mind again, so she took the lead and led her towards the apricot tree.
Xiaoguo looked at the silly and happy figure in front of her and still felt a little hesitant. No, she had to watch her for a while and let her pick less.
When we arrived at the place that Mrs. Yang had described, we found an apricot tree there. There were other trees all around it, except for this one fruit tree.
There are piles of green apricots hanging on the table. They still have more than a month to mature. At this time, the apricots are half-ripe and mostly sour. Normal people will definitely not be able to eat them. Only people with a sensitive taste or those who love sourness will like to eat them.
When Mrs. Yang saw Suan Xing, her eyes lit up green. She let go of Xiao Guo, held her belly and trotted over there. She was fine, but Xiao Guo was scared and it was scary just to look at her.
"Sister-in-law, slow down~"
“×&%¥#**”
"...Huh?" Xiao Guo stopped and was confused. Was there something wrong with her ears, or was there something wrong with Mrs. Yang's mouth?
Sister Yang swallowed the sour apricot meat in her mouth, spit out the pit, and said with her mouth free, "It's okay, come pick the small fruits, they are especially delicious~"
Xiaoguo walked over with a basket and said worriedly, "Don't eat anything you want. I don't know if it's clean or not."
"If it's not clean, you won't get sick if you eat it."
Mrs. Yang said this nonchalantly, but did not forget to urge Xiaoguo to pick it quickly.
Xiaoguo wanted to say something but swallowed it back. Forget it. Everything here is natural and pollution-free. No one uses pesticides. There is nothing on the fruits except soil.
Thinking of this, he put down the basket, rolled up his sleeves, and started picking the fruits one by one.
"It's not sour this time." Sister Yang threw away the apricot kernel and said regretfully, "It's a little sweet."
After hearing this, Xiaoguo was delighted. He rubbed the apricot on his body and then took a bite.
“…”
"What's the matter with you?"
Mrs. Yang picked another apricot and was about to take a bite when she saw that Xiaoguo had rolled his eyes. She was so scared that she almost dropped the apricot in her hand.
Xiao Guo took a long time to come back, waved his hands gently, and whispered, "It's okay."
Mrs. Yang patted her back worriedly, soothed her, and continued picking apricots after making sure she was okay.
Seeing that her attention was all on the apricots, Xiaoguo secretly threw away half of the apricot in her hand. It was not that she wanted to waste it on purpose, but she really couldn't eat it.
At this point, she had every reason to suspect that Mrs. Yang's sense of taste had gone bad. She actually said such sour apricots were not sour but a little sweet. She should also blame herself for spitting out quickly, otherwise her teeth would have been sour.
Xiaoguo now doesn't even have the courage to look at apricots. They are so sour that even dipping them in sugar can't neutralize their sourness.
The two of them picked fruits while talking. They didn't pick many, just a little bit at a time. After picking half a basket, Mrs. Yang stopped and also picked a few small fruits.
"Why is it just this little?" Mrs. Yang looked in her basket and saw very little.
Xiao Guo swallowed a mouthful of sour water and said, "It's a lot. I'll give it all to you."
As he spoke, he poured as many apricots as he could count into her basket.
"That's great, hehe." Mrs. Yang's saliva was almost flowing just by looking at it.
The two of them walked all the way home. When they were almost at the door, Yang's sharp-eyed wife saw Yang Feng guarding the door at a glance.
Without saying a word, he immediately pulled Xiaoguo aside and hid him.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaoguo didn't understand what was going on. He was so scared when she pulled him that he almost threw the basket away.
"Hush!" Sister Yang put her hand to her mouth, signaling her not to speak, and then she stuck her head out to look outside. After confirming that Yang Feng hadn't noticed anything happening here, she said, "Your brother Yang is waiting at the door. This is for you. I'll come to your house when I finish eating."
Xiaoguo's basket was inexplicably replaced. She carried a basket of sour apricots while Mrs. Yang walked with an empty basket.
