Chapter 260
The next morning, the two returned to Wumeng together, and then went to find Lin's father and mother to explain. The two were easy to talk to, and once the explanation was clear, there was nothing wrong, but Lin Nanye and Lin Nanxun were harder to talk to.
That means Lin Nanxun is studying in Kyoto, otherwise he would have to have a good exchange with his future brother-in-law.
It was Lin Nanye, who knew that Wen Jiunian couldn't drink, but still deliberately asked him to have dinner, ordered some wine and made Wen Jiunian drink several glasses of it. In the end, he didn't let Lin Nanzhi take him back, but threw him into a room in the inn.
The excuse was that it was not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to live together as two people who were not married, so from today on, when Wen Jiunian came here, he would either have to live with him in the city or stay in the inn.
Lin Nan felt that there was no problem, and turned around and went back to his home without any psychological burden.
Wen Jiunian felt dizzy when he woke up. He rubbed his head and got up, only to find that he was staying in an inn.
Don't ask him why he knew it was an inn. Of course it was because he had worked here for half a month and he knew the layout of the room very well.
After washing up and preparing to go downstairs, Lin's mother brought him some sobering soup. He thanked her and drank it all in one gulp. Then he asked Lin's mother where Lin Nanzhi was.
Mother Lin took the bowl with a smile and said, "At home.
The walnuts are ripe. She has two walnut trees in her yard. They have produced a lot of walnuts. If they are not picked, they will go bad. She and her friends are picking walnuts right now."
"Then I'll go help too."
"Okay, go ahead."
Wen Jiunian said goodbye to Lin's mother with a smile, put on a mask, went downstairs and went straight to Lin Nanzhi's courtyard.
The door had a fingerprint unlock, and he naturally had his fingerprint, so he entered effortlessly, and then heard a bang bang bang sound. Following the sound, he soon saw the branches of a tree shaking. When he got closer, he saw Lin Nanzhi standing on the wall, holding a long bamboo pole in his hand, hitting the walnut tree with a crackling sound.
"Be careful, don't fall." Wen Jiunian looked at Lin Nanzhi, feeling a little worried.
Is the wall standing firm?
Lin Nanzhi stopped and turned around, only to find Wen Jiunian coming over. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's very peaceful here."
She had thought about it when she planted the walnut trees. Not counting the walnut trees in the wasteland, there were four or five trees in front of her house. They were very big. It was very annoying to pick the walnuts every time they were ripe. But she wanted to eat walnuts, so she planted them like fruit trees, using stones to bend the branches when they were small, and basically trimmed them in the middle.
Now the two walnut trees are like a mushroom. She built a platform about 50 to 60 centimeters wide at about the same position on the wall. It is easy to crack walnuts by standing on it, much easier than before.
"Come down, I'll go fight you."
"There are too many walnuts. Go get another one. The bamboo poles are freshly cut. Go find a suitable one."
Wen Jiunian: “…”
There was no choice but to do it.
He took the sickle and went to the bamboo forest to cut a bamboo of similar size. After trimming all the excess bamboo, he came to the walnut tree. He took a look and felt that he was not like Lin Nanzhi who knew martial arts and could climb up without the help of a ladder.
He resigned himself to his fate and fetched a folding ladder, put it on the wall and climbed up. Standing on the platform, he also started to beat the walnuts under the tree.
The weather was still a little hot today, so Wanbao went back to wear a hat to avoid getting tanned. She stood under the walnut tree to cool off, thinking that she would change her position when Lin Nanzhi hit her. Unexpectedly, there was a crackling sound above her head, and she was so scared that she quickly dodged but was still hit on the head by a walnut.
“I’ll go!”
Hearing the noise, both of them stopped what they were doing and looked down. They saw Wan Baobao rubbing her head and running to another shady tree. She also saw Wen Jiunian and immediately rolled her eyes: "Wen Jiunian, can't you just watch out?"
Wen Jiunian: “…”
I admit defeat!
"Okay, sorry."
The little incident passed quickly and the two continued to fight.
The walnut tree was a little distance away from the wall, and we could get past it by bending over, so we hit it on one side and then on the other.
It just so happened that Lin Nanzhi also liked to eat chestnuts, so he planted one in the yard, right behind the walnut tree. The two of them ran over and started hitting them. After they finished, Wen Jiunian felt his arms were a little sore.
Wanbaobao was already picking the fruits from below with a basket. When it was full, he picked them up and poured them all into the black fruit basket.
After the two men picked up the things on the wall and threw them down, they went down to help.
Lin Nanzhi did not pick walnuts, but chestnuts.
Some have been husked, some have not. For those that have not been husked, I just give them a kick and then press them hard and the chestnuts will come out. Some have not cracked yet, so I pick them up and put them aside.
"It was the first time I knew that walnuts had a green layer. I thought it was some kind of fruit. Fortunately, I didn't pick it to eat because I didn't know the variety." Wanbaobao complained.
Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian both laughed, but they didn't mean to laugh at him. They just thought the words were funny.
Not to mention Wanbao, even many people in Huajia don’t know about it. Walnuts are not grown in abundance in their area, so they don’t know what walnuts really look like. Especially for people in big cities, even if they eat walnuts, they only eat the kind that has the green skin removed and then dried.
To be honest, Lin Nanzhi doesn't like eating this kind of walnuts, because the sun-dried walnut skin has a bitter taste when it dries. The fresh ones are still delicious, not tender and not bitter at all, and have a unique fragrance.
"It's the same with chestnuts. I just found out that chestnuts have a layer of thorny shell."
"It's normal. After all, not everyone knows everything. For example, I used to think that pineapples grew on tall trees like apples. Later I found out that there is only one pineapple growing on such a tall tree."
Wanbaobao burst into laughter immediately, and Lin Nanzhi also laughed along. Wen Jiunian just looked at Lin Nanzhi and picked walnuts silently.
After finishing the ones in the yard, there were still some outside, which were fortunately also enclosed in the small yard.
The courtyard now has three walls, the outermost of which is an iron fence with an electric grid. The courtyard is very large and has many trees and flowers planted in it. Now, vegetables and fruits are also grown there.
The second wall is the one they are standing at now. It is a bit higher. There are many flowers and trees planted along the wall. There is a parking lot underneath. The warehouse and chess room are also next to this wall.
The third is the wall of the courtyard. The height of the wall is not very high, because it is mainly used for decoration to make the courtyard more elegant. The wavy shape is like the corridor wall in ancient times.
The walnut tree was just a little inside the wall, with most of its branches outside. When it was hit, most of the walnuts naturally fell outside.
