The persimmon tree species are not very high. On a small piece of extra soil slope, two of them planted at random. It doesn’t look very big, and the years to plant should not be long.

But there are quite a few persimmons on it, all of which are big fists and are covered with branches. Some are already a little red. It seems that they are fertilized a lot and are well managed.

Ye Yaodong looked up, "So many, how can this small sack be enough!"

"Enough, you can hang these on the tree for a few more days. If you pick too much at once, it will be ripe and it will be broken if you can't finish it. The fruits here are not valuable, and persimmons are easily crushed when they are ripe, and they are not easy to sell."

"In previous years, I picked it and used it to dry persimmon cakes. This one can be sold for some money, or pickled it to make crisp persimmons. Adults and children at home also like to eat pickled persimmons."

"A lot of typhoons were knocked out the previous two days, otherwise more. Today I will pick some of them and pick them back. When you leave the day after tomorrow, I will take them back. Then I will get up again and pick some raw ones for you to bring them back. Whether it is soft persimmons or persimmon cakes."

My father-in-law was so thoughtful!

Persimmon cakes are good and can be used as snacks for sea. Ye Yaodong also likes pickled persimmons. No one in their village knows how to make them, so they pick them and cook them into soft persimmons. Only someone at his father-in-law's house pickles them, and they often give them to them in previous years.

"We don't need too much, just bring a few pounds."

"It's okay to pick more things. Our family's food is not enough, so we can't finish it. There are not many people who want it. They grow it in the whole village."

"Haha, pick first, a few bastards can't wait to jump up and down and climb the tree." Ye Yaodong hurried over and hugged his eldest son who was climbing on the tree, "It will fall, you will wait under the tree, and I'll throw it down for you to pick it up later."

As he said that, he climbed up the tree with his hands and feet. He hadn't climbed a tree for decades and had not yet become unfamiliar with his skills.

He stood firmly on the trunk, broke down a branch, then picked the persimmon, and carefully threw it at his son's feet.

"Ah? Dad, I'm broken!"

"Cracked?"

He was very careful and even broke.

"Then I'll put it down a little later and throw it into the grass."

He picked three more and put them in his palms, then squatted down to lower the center of gravity, and threw them gently into the grass.

"Not broken now!"

"Okay."

Lin's father stood under the tree to pick it. After picking it, he handed it to a few children and asked them to put it in a sack, while the two brothers ran to another tree to pick it.

The three little kids were like hardworking little bees, running around in front of porters, having fun, and their faces were flushed.

But at some point, the ground was full of persimmons, but no one picked them up, and Lin’s father picked them up and threw them on the ground for a while.

Ye Yaodong stood on the tree and looked around, and then found that Ye Chenghu had run to the pomelo tree next to him at some point, pulling a branch with pomelo and swaying there.

This bastard!

"Ye Chenghu, get back to work quickly. Why are you going there?"

….

"Oh, here we come."

He jogged over again, and accidentally slipped while stepping on the slope. He lay on the slope and ate the dirt.

"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Hahaha~ my cousin is a fool~"

"You are fools, I just accidentally, oh, oh, oh!"

"You're a fool!"

The three children were slandering and slandering there, Ye Yaodong was too lazy to care about it, just not running around.

He bent down the branches and picked up the other high places that he could reach. He could only count on the long hooks on his brother-in-law's side.

Jump down and picked up the persimmons on the ground first into the sack. After picking up, I looked at half a bag.

It's right.

"How many have you picked there? There are half a bag here, so don't pick too many and not enough to fill it."

The two brothers stopped hearing this. After putting all the persimmons they picked in, they were almost seven or eight minutes full, so everyone stopped.

To avoid too much picking and the rope is not easy to tie.

The children felt quite unsatisfied. Seeing that they were about to go back, Ye Chenghu said reluctantly: "Are we going back just after we came out? Don't we play for a while? When can we pick it again? Can we pick the grapefruit over there? I want to eat grapefruit!"

"As long as you get up the morning after tomorrow, I will take you to pick it again. The grapefruit is not ripe yet, and it will be next month."

"Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah ~ I'll definitely get up! Then we'll come back the day after tomorrow."

Ye Chenghu happily jumped down the soil slope, not afraid of falling!

The other two boys also followed suit, jumping down one after another, and it was too late to stop them.

"Grandpa, dad, we will come here to pick it the day after tomorrow."

"Let's talk about it when you can get up."

Lin's father tied up the sack with a rope. He was about to carry it himself, but Ye Yaodong stopped him. He picked up the bag and tried the weight. He originally wanted to help carry it.

As a result, he was taken over by his brother-in-law and carried it on his shoulder without saying a word. "This one is a bit heavy, I'll just come."

Ye Yaodong had to follow behind and look at Ye Chenghu by the way, so that he would lose sight of him as he walked.

But he didn't watch it, but he ran to a vegetable field with several ridges of ear beans at the foot of the mountain and grabbed a handful of ear beans.

Children are just shy!

If this was his own village, Ye Yaodong might be able to cover his son, but this is his father-in-law's family, so it is hard to be embarrassed to throw it here.

He stopped with a headache, "Don't owe other people's beans, you should not be owed to others. If you are caught, you will be beaten!"

"Isn't it from my grandfather's house?"

"It's planted by my grandfather. You can pick it casually. After picking it, cook taro rice at night. Plant some taro at the back door of the house and hoe it when you go back." Lin's father said with a smile. It's rare for a son-in-law to come to the door, so he must be treated well.

"Aoaoao~ I want to eat taro rice, my favorite is taro rice."

Taro rice is also called salty rice locally!

On September 9th and Double Ninth Festival, their custom here is to cook taro rice on a high place. Now it is not far away. When you go back, you can cut a little pork belly and cook taro rice.

In the past, sweet potato porridge was always porridge, so we could only eat it once on September 9th and Double Ninth Festival. Now we should eat it in advance.

….

When the other two children heard that they could pick taro rice, they rushed up in a hurry, fearing that they would fall behind.

"Pick less from my house, I want to pick more."

"It was planted by my grandfather, not by you. So many, you pick yours, I pick mine..."

"That's our family too!"

"It's my grandfather's!"

"You are not from our family..."

"Yes... you can only pick a little bit. The beans are planted by my grandfather, my father and second uncle, and it has nothing to do with you..."

The three boys had uneven division of labor when picking beans, and they even started to quarrel. Although they were young, they were all well organized.

Ye Chenghu was so angry that he stopped picking it when he was squeezed by his two cousins. Seeing the cabbage planted in the vegetable field next to him, he simply put his ear beans on the ground and ran to pull the cabbage.

But the cabbage is not that easy to pull. Everyone always cuts the roots with a knife. He was holding a cabbage with a small force and used his breasts to pull it out. It looked a bit funny, but it wasn't just pulling radish.

The other two boys followed suit after seeing it, but the three of them tried hard and fell to the ground.

Several adults quickly stepped forward to pick them up and patted the soil on their bodies. Seeing that they hadn't played enough, they hurriedly stopped them. Playing was OK, but it couldn't be wasted. It's enough to eat them for two days, and they couldn't serve cabbage every meal.

Then they pouted and turned around in one step with the cabbage in their arms.

"Grandpa, what else has your family planted? Do you need to pick it?" After saying that, before Lin's father replied, "Dad, grandpa's fruit mountain is so fun. Let's pick it again tomorrow?"

Ye Yaodong patted the back of his head and took the cabbage in his hand, "I have nothing to pick for you. I will pick some persimmons the day after tomorrow and go back."

Lin's father smiled and his wrinkles at the ends of his eyes narrowed into a line, "Have you picked enough yet? Then you might as well stay for a few months. I will take you up the mountain every day. If you want to pick tomorrow, I will take you to pick pumpkins, artemisia, and pick some more sweet potato leaves to feed the pigs."

"Okay, okay~ Yeah, yeah, there will be something to play tomorrow~" Ye Chenghu jumped three feet high in excitement.

"I'm back, I'm playing all over the place. I'm going to scold your mother when I go back."

"I can say that my father took me to play! Just let my mother scold you. What do I know, a child?"

The father-in-law and brother-in-law both laughed, "I'm pretty smart."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. He didn't know. It turned out that his eldest son seemed quite smart. He also knew that he would take the blame and speak one by one.

"Believe it or not, your mother didn't beat you, I'll beat you first? Go home honestly, and then get flirted with the bride. When you go back, take off your pants and beat me first."

"A brief ~"

Ye Chenghu was not afraid at all, and even made a face and ran forward.

Lin's father hurriedly chased after him, for fear that the child would run away and fall, and the elderly would be married to each other.

There were many people and great power, so it didn't take long to stay in the mountain, but they were already very late when they went there. When they returned to Lin's father's house, it was already past four o'clock, and Lin's mother started to work on supper.
