Jiang Jintang realized that he had made a mistake, and then answered cleverly: "Yes, it's bigger than candy and as sweet as candy. Mom, you can eat more later."
Qiao Xiazhi smiled with eyes curved, nodded and agreed: "Okay, then Mom will eat more and see how sweet it is."
Aunt Qiao felt distressed when she saw the fruit cores on the fruit trees that were eaten by birds.
"We have to come back often next year and take good care of the fruits when they are in season. It's a pity that so many fruits were eaten by birds. If we buy them, we won't get much money."
Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "We didn't expect them to bear fruit so soon this year."
"Earlier, I planted a pear tree in the front yard in Wuyang County. It took four or five years for it to start blooming and bearing fruit."
"The fruits are hard, bitter and astringent in the first year, but they gradually grow bigger and sweeter in the following years."
At this time, Aunt Xu came out of the house with a small bowl of cherries.
When we were talking about fruits just now, Aunt Xu went into the house to wash cherries.
After coming out, he handed the cherries to Qiao Xiazhi and said, "This is the first year that the cherry tree has produced fruit. I didn't expect them to be so big and sweet."
Qiao Xiazhi took the cherry and tasted one. It was indeed very sweet. After being chilled, it was icy and cool, and the sweetness was especially good.
"Hmm~~ It's really good. Not only is it sweet, but it's also juicy. It's even better than the cherries you buy, and most importantly, they're bigger."
Of course it is delicious and of course it is big, comparable to cherries.
After all, if the fruit trees that grew up drinking the spiritual spring water are not big and sweet, how can they be worthy of the spiritual spring water that Qiao Xiazhi worked so hard to water them with?
Of course, in order not to arouse everyone's suspicion, Qiao Xiazhi did not water it too much.
Whenever I have time, I mix the spiritual spring water with the water and use it to water them.
“It’s time for dinner.”
Jiang Yunchen, who had just finished cooking, shouted from inside the house.
Then the family walked towards the restaurant.
After returning to the house, Qiao Xiazhi fed Jiang Yunchen a big cherry.
Jiang Yunchen opened his mouth with a happy look on his face and took it.
Qiao Xiazhi asked: "Is it delicious?"
Jiang Yunchen nodded: "It's sweet and juicy. Where did you buy it? My wife, you like it. Eat more."
Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, "I didn't buy it. It grew on the cherry tree in our yard."
Jiang Yunchen was stunned. "Didn't the cherry tree just get planted two years ago? It's already bearing fruit so soon?"
Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, "I guess this house has good feng shui, which is very suitable for us. You see, the pear tree in the yard died before, but we planted grape and cherry trees instead, and they are all full of fruits this year."
Jiang Yunchen: "Then why didn't I see any fruit just now?"
Jiang Junmo said, "Because we came back late, they were eaten by the birds that visited our house. We just picked the rest."
Jiang Yunchen: "Then we have to find a way to protect them, otherwise they will have nothing to eat next year."
Qiao Xiazhi: "I've thought about it. I'll tell you how to do it when the time comes. I'll leave this job to you."
"The grapes are not ripe yet, so we still have a chance to protect them. When they are ripe in two months, we will have grapes to eat when we come back."
Jiang Yunchen agreed: "No problem, I will complete the task." Then he went to the kitchen to bring out the soup, and the family sat together to eat dinner.
After dinner, as the eldest brother Jiang Junyun had said, the family read books, chatted and ate fruit in the yard.
The picture is so heartwarming.
The next day, the family went to have a picnic by a creek in the suburbs.
Jiang Yunchen and Qiao Xiazhi took the four little ones swimming, fishing and catching crabs.
Grandma, Aunt Xu, and my aunt were preparing the things needed for the picnic on the shore.
All of this was prepared in advance by Qiao Xiazhi.
They just need to take it out and put it away.
Qiao Xiazhi prepared some barbecue ingredients in advance.
There are also fruits and soda.
What's left are the crabs and fish that will be caught soon.
There are a lot of fish in the river at this time, as well as mountain crabs.
Don't underestimate mountain crabs because they don't have much meat. However, they are very crispy after being roasted, and they are also delicious if sprinkled with chili powder, barbecue seasoning, or cumin powder.
In the original owner's memory, her favorite foods when she was a child were grilled crabs, grilled fish, and grilled grasshoppers.
Sometimes I would steal sweet potatoes and potatoes from the fields and roast them together.
Although the candies for children at this time were not as varied, and due to living conditions, they rarely had candies to eat.
But there is also fun in eating snacks at this time.
Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, roasted grasshoppers, roasted fish, roasted crabs, etc. were also their snacks when they were young.
Fruits are too expensive, so there are many wild fruits in the mountains.
Wild strawberries, March bubbles, raspberries, and so many more.
Qiao Xiazhi felt that this was the fun of childhood.
So even though they live in big cities now, they will take their children out to play when they have time.
Of course, they will also tell the children some safety precautions.
While having fun is fun, you still need to pay attention to safety.
The four little guys were afraid to catch crabs, so Jiang Yunchen was responsible for catching them, and they were responsible for looking after the buckets containing crabs and fish.
Qiao Xiazhi was responsible for protecting them and watching them.
The whole family is having a great time.
After playing for an hour or so, Qiao Xiazhi looked at the bucket that was almost full and said:
"Okay, we've caught quite a few. Let's go ashore and process them first. We'll roast them and eat them later. We'll take the rest home and fry them in a pan tonight. They'll be another dish to go with wine."
Jiang Yunchen: "Then you take it up and let grandma and the others deal with it. I will teach the four little guys how to swim."
