Chapter 34: Picking in the Orchard
An Songyu's sigh didn't last long.
She had just returned to the small building that belonged to her, and before she had time to put down her luggage, she was seen by Yuan Qionghua who came down from upstairs.
Yuan Qionghua's eyes lit up and he hurried over in two steps.
After taking the luggage from An Songyu, he immediately said, "Ayu, it's a good thing you're here."
"The room is still on the first floor next to the stairs. I'll help you carry your luggage in."
"Hurry up and go to your orchard!"
"There are always guests in the village recently who want to help pick fruit in your orchard."
"Your father said that as long as the guests do not damage the fruits and the trees, and do not pick the fruits randomly, they can pick as much as they want."
"Besides, you don't have to take everything with you."
Speaking of this, Yuan Qionghua also felt quite impressed.
But this is not the right place to talk.
After all, there are so many guests in the village nowadays.
Especially their Jiangcun charges are very reasonable.
Many families with children even send their elderly and children here to stay for a week or two.
Now, many farmhouses in the village are no longer able to accommodate everyone.
An Songyu's family originally planned to temporarily live in only some of the houses.
Because in most rooms, no suitable furniture is purchased.
Later, these guests had no place to stay and were unwilling to leave.
We also discovered several newly built houses of An Songyu’s family.
Judging from its shape and layout, it is obviously used to entertain guests, but it has never been put into use.
I just asked the familiar owner of a farm stay in the village to come and ask for help.
The villagers had no choice but to call An Jianping.
An Jianping discussed it with his wife.
Only then were the villagers allowed to bring their guests there, and if they liked a place they could stay there, but if they really didn't like it there was nothing they could do.
After all, they tried their best to match the old furniture into sets.
But compared with the newly built house, it does seem a bit out of place.
Fortunately, Bi Lizhu is meticulous in her work.
Even the old furniture was carefully sorted before being moved upstairs.
Some of them were still in very good condition, so they were cleaned and matched before being put in the room.
Some of the ones that were not in perfect condition were simply processed.
Some of them were repaired and not put back directly after repair, while some that just needed repainting were repainted.
Not to mention, it looks even better than the original intact one.
It’s just a bit troublesome!
Fortunately, the An family is not in a hurry for the time being.
By now, the house has been decorated a little bit better.
In fact, strictly speaking, these are old furniture brought back from the city.
It might not be bad if it were placed in most families' homes in Jiangcun.
After all, things that you use at home will basically continue to be used as long as they can be used.
After all, only a very small number of families frequently change their home decorations and furniture.
It is because An Songyu's family's house is newly built that it feels a bit out of place.
Guests don’t care about new or old, as long as it’s clean and comfortable.
In this way, not long after the summer vacation, many rooms in An Songyu's house were already occupied by guests.
Normally, let alone Yuan Qionghua, some villages would arrange people to come here.
They would often come over to greet their guests.
And help clean the public areas carefully.
This also means that Ansong Yu'an is temporarily unable to spare anyone to manage the business.
Several houses are also in smooth use.
An Songyu didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he hurried to the orchard.
Sure enough, there were quite a few adults and children in the entire orchard.
Even on the edges of the banana trees that had not yet matured at this time of year, there were human figures lurking.
I don't know what they are looking at.
However, An Songyu did not go closer to observe.
Anyway, there will be reminders before entering the orchard.
If the fruit is picked normally and the tree is accidentally damaged, it can be handled appropriately.
Any damage to fruit trees caused by any other actions will require compensation at the original price.
Therefore, people who enter the orchard are relatively well-behaved.
Not long after An Songyu arrived, guests came over carrying baskets and dragging baskets.
When she saw the various fruits in the baskets, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Did they pick all the fruits in their orchard?
But there are so many, can we finish them?
An Songyu thought so and naturally asked the same question.
The family that came to pay the bill laughed when they heard the overly honest question from the boss An Songyu:
"It's alright, we're going straight back to the city today."
"Don't think too much of these fruits. If you share them casually when you get back, they will be gone."
"Dad, we can't share all of them!" The child, who had been watching the fruits being packed into bags, became unhappy when he heard this.
"Don't worry, I won't share them all. I'll keep all the ones you picked for you!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
After listening to what this family said, An Songyu didn't say anything more.
I charged a slightly higher price than the orchard’s shipping price.
The whole family left the orchard with bags full of fruits, praising the affordability and freshness of the fruits.
With the start of this family, An Songyu couldn't rest for a long time.
Until it was almost dark.
Whether they came to the orchard to experience picking fruits or wanted to pick fruits to eat by themselves, they all left eventually.
An Songyu moved his sore arms.
Looking at the row of fruits in the baskets next to me, I had no choice but to resign myself to my fate and ride my tricycle to start working.
These fruits have to be taken to her uncle's yard for processing.
While separating them all by type, you also have to check carefully whether they are damaged.
The tourists who come here to play are quite knowledgeable when picking fruits, and basically none of them are of bad quality.
The only problem is that they are not that experienced in picking fruits, and most of them bring their children with them.
The damaged fruit will be greater.
These fruits are picked out in time and will not affect their consumption.
But if you don’t pick the right one, it will easily break.
After all this was done, An Songyu followed his uncle's family and had a quick bite.
She left with her cousin who wanted to stay with her at her home.
At night in Jiangcun, apart from the street lights on the main road and in each house, the rest of the place is illuminated only by moonlight.
If you look up, you can see the sky full of stars.
An Songyu sighed as he walked forward.
An Songyue was very happy to hear this.
As a child who grew up in the countryside, although I like the starry sky, I have never found it strange.
An Songyu just smiled and said nothing.
My little cousin has never left home.
Naturally, you won’t think that such a common view is so rare outside.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but act like a bad person:
"Ayue, your college entrance examination results are out, right? Did you pass?"
An Songyue was a little speechless: "I just checked my scores and haven't filled in my application yet!"
An Songyu was slightly stunned. She had forgotten that this year it seemed that she had to check her scores first and then fill in her application form.
"Then can you get into your ideal school?" An Songyu quickly changed the subject.
An Songyue was silent now.
After a while, he sighed and said, "Sister, why is studying so difficult?"
"What? You didn't do well in the college entrance examination? Are you planning to go to university directly or repeat your studies?" An Songyu asked with some surprise.
She seemed to remember that her brothers and sisters at home had never re-read their studies before she came back!
"Of course I'll go straight to college!" An Songyue answered firmly.
She couldn't even imagine having to go through the college entrance examination again.
"Besides, if your grades aren't good enough, how can you change that by repeating a year?"
Amused by his cousin's plaintive look, An Songyu also became curious:
"Which school did you originally plan to apply to?"
Speaking of which, An Songyue lived in her house throughout high school.
An Songyu never knew about this.
It’s not that she doesn’t care about her cousin.
But An Songyu was already studying in Southern Province at that time, and the number of times he could come back throughout the year was really limited.
Often this is the time when An Songyue returns to Jiangcun to reunite with her family.
But An Songyue was still quite sad when he heard this question.
She looked at An Songyu's face, as if An Songyu had asked a question that should never be asked.
