One big and one small, one tall and one short, the two of them were happily weaving straw bags in a small space.
Zhou Yu, who was knitting a sweater in the yard, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard the cheerful voices of the brother and sister. It's so good, it's so good to be home, it feels so good to have a home to rely on!
Zhou Niao looked around like in the TV series. There were three walls on all sides, and he didn't know what he could see.
He whispered in Zhou Xiang's ear, "Sister, I want to eat watermelon."
As he spoke, he was looking at the watermelon in the straw basket, which was not much bigger than a marble.
Zhou Xiang shook his head and lowered his voice, "No, the watermelon is too big to change. How about turning it into a peach?"
"It's still the same. I wonder if we can eat the peaches from that peach tree in the east?"
"How about picking one off and trying it?"
"Okay! Okay!"
The two of them became faster, but because weaving straw bags was a delicate job, they could only weave a few.
"Okay, I'm done with it. There's no rush. Just make a few each day. I can't finish them all in one go."
"Okay! I'm done. Go back and wash your hands."
Zhou Niao put down the straw rope in his hand and went to wash his hands happily.
Zhou Yu looked at Zhou who had come out and thought, "Why is Big Brother so happy?"
"Oh! I'm planning to pick peaches!"
Zhou Yu looked at the peach tree, which was only a little over a meter tall and a dozen centimeters thick, but was bearing thirty or forty large green peaches. "Are they ready to eat? Aren't peaches supposed to be red?"
"Try it! It's big anyway, bigger than average."
I don’t know if it’s because of space breeding, but the peaches are particularly large. Each one looks like it weighs four or five taels. Peaches in this era don’t grow so well, and they are not much different from those in space.
After washing his hands, Zhou Niao walked to the peach tree, walked around the tree, found his target, reached out and picked one.
She washed it with water, cut it into several pieces with a knife, and placed them on a plate. "Sister, sister, try it. It smells very sweet."
Zhou Xiang and Zhou Yu washed their hands, picked up a petal, and Zhou Xiang took a bite. Hmm, it was not bad, almost the same as the one in the space.
Seeing that she was eating with relish, Zhou Yu and Zhou Niao quickly picked up the food and started eating.
"Well, sister, this is really sweet, almost as sweet as the one you..." made that day.
Zhou Yu looked at his elder brother suspiciously, "Go on! What's next?"
Zhou Niao hesitated and said, "I can't..."
Zhou wanted to stuff a large piece of food into his mouth, "Don't talk while you're eating."
Zhou Yu looked at his sister and asked, "Do you have a secret that you can't tell me?"
Zhou Niao nodded, and Zhou Xiang shook his head.
"Humph! Sister, you've corrupted big brother and taught him to lie."
Zhou Niao shook his head and Zhou Xiang nodded.
Zhou Yu snatched the plate from Zhou Niao's hand gloomily, "They are all mine."
Zhou Xiang pulled his eldest brother to the peach tree and said, "Pick another one."
Zhou Niao nodded and apologized softly, "Sister, I'm sorry, I spoke too quickly."
"It's okay, Second Sister will be fine in a while. The less you say, the less mistakes you will make. The more you explain, the worse it will be. Just ignore her."
Zhou Yu looked at the two people whispering to each other, thinking they must be hiding a secret from him. Humph!
Zhou Niao picked a peach and continued to wash and cut it.
"Big sister, do you still want to eat?"
"Eat, why not eat!"
The second big peach was eaten by Zhou Niao and Zhou Yu. Zhou Xiang just wanted to taste it, as there were plenty of them in the space.
After three or four days, the peaches on the peach tree began to turn faintly pink.
Zhou Niao stared at the peach tree every day. After discovering it, she asked Zhou Xiang, "Sister, the peaches are red. Can we eat them now?"
"Eat it! I thought you weren't greedy! I haven't seen you ask for more since we ate it that day."
"Don't they say peaches are ripe only when they turn red?"
"Those are other people's peaches. Our peaches are different. Okay, pick one every day and eat it. By the time the peaches are ripe, you'll have eaten them all."
"You can only pick one? Aren't you going to give one to Mom and Dad? I also want to give one to Qiangqiang!"
"When I said you pick one to eat every day, I meant you can only eat one. You can pick one after your parents eat it. As for Qiangqiang, when you go to play with him on Sunday afternoon, bring one to him."
"Okay! I'll pick it."
I still cut it into several pieces and brought it to eat with my two sisters.
At this time, Aunt Wang walked in and said, "Oh! Your peaches are ready to eat! Let me try them and see if they are sweet."
After saying that, he took a petal from the plate in Zhou Niao's hand and put it in his mouth.
"Mmm, delicious, so sweet! I've never tasted such a sweet peach before. Give me another slice."
Zhou Niao hurriedly ran into the south room with the plate.
"Zhou Niao, why are you so stingy? Your tree has so many fruits, so what if I eat one?"
"Auntie Wang, do you have the nerve to snatch food from a child?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang glanced at Zhou Xiang and said, "Your elder brother is so lucky to be born in your family and have you to protect him."
"Okay, stop praising me. This is the first time I see you coming here empty-handed. What's the matter?"
Aunt Wang immediately narrowed her eyes in a smile and clapped her hands, saying, "Oh, I have something happy to share with you. I forgot to bring the bowl. Bring your vinegar bottle back to me later. I'll pour some out and return it to you."
"You'd better go home! My vinegar bottle is empty, and I'm not interested in your so-called happy things."
"Oh! You kid, there's no vinegar at home, go get some! Second brother, go get some vinegar, I'll be waiting for you. But don't go to Yang's house, their soy sauce and vinegar jars are broken, soy sauce and vinegar are spilling everywhere, what a pity, dozens of dollars are gone, Yang Ji's mother is crying and wailing. Hahahaha!"
Zhou Xiang looked helplessly at Aunt Wang who was laughing heartily, "Don't wait any longer. My family doesn't need vinegar today. We won't make it tomorrow."
Aunt Wang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Then my family does not need vinegar today. I will come to borrow it when your family makes it tomorrow."
"Auntie Wang, I don't understand. The street isn't far away. Why do you have to come to my house to borrow it? Otherwise, give me the money and the vinegar bottle, and I'll run an errand for you."
Aunt Wang waved her hands, "No, no, no, no, I'm just waiting to borrow yours. Borrowed things smell good. Things I bought myself are kept to return to others. It makes me sad to look at them. They don't smell good.
I'm leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow."
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes helplessly. This was the first time in his life that he heard Aunt Wang's outrageous idea.
Zhou Yu found the expression on his sister's face funny and said, "You seem helpless towards Aunt Wang."
"Of course, you can't hit or scold her. If she borrows something, she has to return it within three days. And every time she returns it, she shares the news with a smile. So tell me, how should I treat her?"
Zhou Yu shook his head, "I have no idea. No matter how harshly I speak to her or how aggressively I rush her, she never gets angry. She's always smiling and slippery. I don't know where to start!"
"You know that too?"
"Don't I see that you always look confident in your dealings with people and things?"
