Chapter 143: The Autumn Scenery of Xanadu
On National Day, Xiaoyuan got a rare three-day holiday. Zhong Yuan brought her, Leyiwai, Tian Panpan and Zhao Jianling back to the countryside to beat chestnuts.
Zhong Yuan's home is backed by the mountains, and the orchards on the mountain are planted with walnuts, chestnuts, apricots, peaches and other fruit trees. A small river winds through the entrance of her village, wrapping the small village in it, making it a pastoral view.
The open fields around are full of corn, and a crisp cracking sound sounds sounded under the breeze. This season is the best time for Beijing. The sky is high and cloudless. The deep blue sky and the thriving gold of the fields are intertwined.
This is the first time Zhao Jianling has been here, and he can't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful! This is the paradise in Tao Yuanming's writings, right!"
Zhong Yuan was very proud: "That's right, so everyone is welcome to come often! This time I will help me beat chestnuts and sell some strength, because the chestnut stewed chicken tube is enough to eat!"
Everyone cheered and rushed down the hillside and rushed towards Zhongyuan's house.
Zhong Yuan's mother was waiting at the door very early, and when she saw them laughing from ear to ear.
"Yeah, you're all here, are you hungry?" Zhong's mother said as she welcomed them into the yard.
Zhong’s mother looks much younger than she is. When she was young, she was also a famous beauty. Zhong Yuan’s eyebrows look like her mother, but she is less gentle and more heroic.
The small yard is clean and neatly packed. There are several rows of vegetables planted in the middle of the yard, and the gourd racks in one corner are full of fruits.
A huge rose grows next to the gourd rack. Its branches are as thick as wrists. The branches and vines are all the way to the roof. The orange-yellow flowers are as big as bowls, blooming layer by layer, and the fragrance of the yard is heart-wrenching.
Zhao Jianling was stunned. This was the first time he saw such a domineering flower blooming, as beautiful as a dream.
Xiang Xiaoyuan has been thinking about the rose tree in Zhong Yuan’s family for a long time. She has been cutting branches several times, but she can’t survive no matter how hard she planted it, so she had to give up.
Zhong Yuan turned around and saw the four people's flashing eyes and knew that something was going to be bad, so he had to speak first: "One person will only give one!"
After saying that, he took a pair of scissors.
"Don't...don't...don't..." Panpan grabbed her: "Don't cut it, it's a pity to cut it."
Everyone nodded one after another, Zhong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these girls would pull out all the flowers.
"Wash your hands and have a meal!" Mother Zhong held a soup basin and greeted everyone for dinner.
Leyi is the most common one. He is so familiar with Zhong’s mother. He spoke directly and called Godmother: “Godmother, do you have any cakes?”
Mother Zhong smiled and said, "How can you not be there? You know that you are here, and you all make new stick noodles and vegetable dumplings!"
I happily hugged Zhong’s mother: “Godmother is so nice!”
Everyone smiled and shyned her, and ignored her happiness, and looked around and looked around: "Where is the godfather?"
Mother Zhong smiled and said, "I went to the mountain to condom a rabbit in the morning, waiting for you greedy cats!"
Everyone laughed again.
It was the first time Zhao Jianling came and was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to speak. Seeing that she was a little restrained, Zhong's mother pulled her to her side: "Is this Lingling?"
The sword spirit nodded.
Mother Zhong touched her face lovingly: "I look so beautiful, I will come often in the future. You children are so far away from home and can't go home in normal times. You guys are just like home here. What's the shame of being home? How happy I'm to come!" After saying that, hello everyone: "Eat first, eat first, and there's still fish stewed! Yan'er (Zhong Yuan's nickname) quickly let everyone eat, don't wait!" After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen.
Jian Ling's face turned red, and after a long time, he said, "Zuanyuan... your mother is so nice!"
Zhong Yuan was very proud: "That's right, my mother wishes you all are my children!"
Panpan sighed: "It would be great if my mother was as good as your mother... My mother cares about me in everything and doesn't like others coming to my house..."
