Chapter 186 Jiang Fubao was slandered
The peaches here are small and sour. An old lady in the village once stuffed some into her hands, but she couldn't tell if they were unripe or just that unpalatable.
Take a bite.
Jiang Fubao felt like his soul was about to leave the body.
It's sour, astringent, and mouth-numbing.
The peaches are so unpalatable. I don’t understand why Mrs. Wan is staring at the peach tree in her shop, fearing that someone else will snatch them away.
To put it bluntly.
This damn peach.
Even dogs won’t eat it.
Jiang Fubao sat under the persimmon tree holding the peaches that her second aunt had peeled for her.
Eat in small bites.
The peaches are soft and the flesh is light yellow.
One bite and the juice explodes in your mouth.
Very sweet.
It is sweet but not greasy, and tastes very fresh.
A peach is bigger than her two fists combined.
Fortunately, I didn’t eat too much at night.
However, after eating the whole peach, Jiang Fubao still burped.
She was forcibly pulled up by her mother and walked in circles in the yard.
The sunset overhead ended.
The moon is high in the sky.
The clouds still float in the sky, sometimes blocking the moon.
The yard was bright at one moment and dim at another, as if an old lamp that had been used for many years was about to stop working.
The green fruits on the persimmon tree are getting bigger day by day.
After waiting for two months, you can pick the fruits.
Jiang Fubao particularly likes to eat persimmon cakes. As far as I can remember, his grandmother also knew how to make them.
And the persimmon cakes dried every year are especially sweet.
Eat a piece of it by the fire in winter, and even the hardest days will no longer seem bitter.
When I came here, the New Year had already passed, and last year's poor thieves of the Jiang family didn't want to set foot in.
The persimmons were carried to the town by my eldest and second uncles and sold.
This year, the family made a lot of money and they definitely wouldn't sell them. Before going to bed, Jiang Fubao glanced at the persimmon tree.
She must eat the persimmon cakes made by grandma in autumn!
Haven't turned on the shield for a long time.
Jiang Fubao wanted to listen to the sound of the persimmon tree.
Next second.
A noisy sound reached her ears.
Jiang Fubao found the persimmon tree among them.
"I'm so thirsty, so thirsty. I can't get any water. The tree is dying of thirst. I can't find any water at all. If I can't get any water, the tree will die."
Several years of drought.
The persimmon trees growing at home are unable to absorb water.
Because of the shade provided by the foundation, the roots and stems will certainly not develop as well as those of persimmon trees grown outside.
Jiang Fubao took advantage of the night when everyone in the house was asleep.
Sneak out of the room.
I watered the persimmon tree a lot.
Jiang Fubao stopped only after he heard the cat say it was full.
After returning to the room, she was not in a hurry to sleep.
The only river in the village is used by a lot of people, and the water level is still dropping.
So I only take a bath at home once every three or four days. The rest of the time, I basically just wipe it with a cloth and call it a day, very perfunctorily.
Nowadays, no matter it is hot summer or severe winter, she has to take a bath every day, otherwise she always feels uncomfortable.
Flashing into the space, Jiang Fubao took a shower in the bathroom for a full half hour until her cheeks were red and her body smelled of perfume, then she put on her clothes.
After taking a shower, she felt very thirsty, so she took out a Coke from the refrigerator and drank one-fifth of it.
After learning from the last lesson, Jiang Fubao no longer dared to gulp down a whole bottle of Coke.
Only after she felt cool and dry did she fall asleep.
When she got up at dawn, she put on the luxurious clothes that Auntie Yun had given her.
Don't underestimate these old clothes.
I have never worn it once.
Jiang Fubao guessed that it was probably because his sister had too many clothes to wear, and by the time she remembered, she was already too old to wear them.
It would be a pity to leave it to gather ashes, so Auntie Yun simply gave it to them.
Jiang Fubao is not like those people who are too concerned about their reputation and think that this is charity.
Such good clothes would be worth a lot of money even if they were sold outside.
She was especially grateful to Aunt Yun.
Jiang Fubao was very happy to have new clothes to wear.
After breakfast, she would hum a tune while waiting in the yard for her family to clean up.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
The leaves on the persimmon tree seem to be much stronger, as they were always wilted before.
"Grandma, can I take a peach to town to eat?"
Jiang Fubao took out a peach from the kitchen, held it in his hand, tilted his head and asked grandma.
"My dear, peaches are covered with hairs. Be careful when you touch them. Your hands will itch. Wash your hands quickly. Grandma will wash the peaches for you and put them on the oxcart. Eat them if you are thirsty on the way."
With so many peaches, everyone in the family can get at least two.
While washing peaches, Zhang Jinlan took one more.
She just needs to eat one to taste it.
My granddaughter likes to eat it.
Just give her your share.
"Sister Ruyi, Sister Huanyu, you guys stay home and look after the house. Don't run around. Brothers, you guys need to take good care of your sister-in-law. If your eldest brother goes to work in the fields, you guys should bring water to your sister-in-law. Don't let her get thirsty~"
Before leaving.
Jiang Fubao looks like a little old lady.
Give tasks to the family members.
Her nagging was so annoying that her two brothers' ears hurt, so they turned around and ran to the backyard.
"Who did you learn this from? You act like a little adult. Alright, stop talking nonsense. Dad, let's go."
Zhu Yingqiu pinched her niece's cheek.
I laughed so hard that I couldn't straighten my back.
She patted Jiang Yamato's back.
Jiang's driver is leaving~
Another busy day.
noon.
The hottest time of the year.
Jiang Fubao held the second peach and sat in the shade to eat it.
The first peach was destroyed by her when she was riding on the ox cart.
"Why does Fubao like to eat peaches so much? There are still a lot left at home. Give her mine too."
Zhu Yingqiu said to Zhang Yanzi.
"No, Siyin and I haven't eaten the two yet. We'll cut them into a plate and share them among the three children."
Zhang Yanzi waved her hands and refused.
Just when the sisters-in-law were chatting.
The door to the backyard was banged on.
If you didn't know, you would think that bandits had come down the mountain to raid the village.
"Who is it——" Zhang Jinlan shouted and winked at her younger son, asking him to open the door.
Jiang Siyin put down the skewers in his hand.
Open the door.
It was the shop owner Wan.
Everyone was a little bored.
Whoever rents a shop, the owner comes here from time to time.
If you don’t know, you might think this shop was opened for her.
Sun Pingmei's eyes were rolling up to the sky.
She slammed the dough in her hand heavily onto the table.
There was a 'bang' sound.
Wanzhen was so scared that he almost bit his tongue when he was about to speak.
"I'll count the peaches, and you guys do your work." With so many people in the backyard, Wan Zhen didn't dare to make trouble.
If a fight breaks out, she will have no chance of winning.
She walked slowly to the peach tree and counted the peaches one by one.
After she finished counting, her face darkened.
"There are five missing peaches. Tell me, did you steal them? You must have stolen them! Look, I caught you red-handed. This little thief stole my peaches. Do you care? You must pay me at least five taels for each peach. This is my family's ancestral peach tree. It's hundreds of years old."
Wan Zhen pointed at the half-eaten peach in Jiang Fubao's hand and cursed.
