Looking at the pears in the basket, Bai Yunxi peeled two with a sickle, handed one to Li, and ate the other herself. It was sweet, crispy, and juicy in one bite.
Sure enough, she was right. Fruits with sufficient sunlight have high sugar content.
"How is it? Is it more delicious than the pears below?"
After eating a pear, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up.
"Mom, it's true. Pears grown on the same tree have different flavors. It's really strange."
In the past, they only picked the bottom pears. After tasting them, they didn't like them, so they thought all pears were the same.
I didn't expect that the ones above and below taste different. It's really weird.
"There is nothing surprising about this. The fruits above can get enough light. The more sunshine, the higher the sweetness. The fruits below are blocked by the shade of trees and cannot see the light. Over time, the size and taste will be much different."
Li nodded in an educated manner,
"I see, I'll pick another basket and let's take it home to eat."
After saying that, he put the basket on his back and climbed up the tree again. His movements were as quick and flexible as a monkey. Baiyun Xi was amazed by the sight.
The children who grew up in the mountains are indeed extraordinary, they are very athletic, but she is not good at it anyway, not to mention climbing trees, even climbing stairs, she is out of breath.
After a while, two baskets full of pears were placed in front of Baiyunxi, and Mrs. Li smiled honestly and cutely.
Bai Yunxi took out the handkerchief and handed it to her,
"Wipe your sweat, rest for a while, and then we'll go home. Tomorrow, we'll ask the second ones to come together and pick all the pears from these two trees. If we can't finish them, we'll make autumn pear paste and take it to the town to exchange for money.
, buy rations.”
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Ms. Li immediately became energetic.
"Is it like making sugar from beets?"
"almost,"
Bai Yunxi looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but laugh. This Li family is honest and cute. The original owner chose this daughter-in-law for his second son. It's really great.
A basket of pears weighed about forty or fifty kilograms. The two of them carried the basket down the mountain. Li's steps were brisk, but Baiyun Xi was in a very difficult situation.
After a while, I was out of breath, and couldn't move for a while without stopping to rest.
"Mom, let me carry it." Mrs. Li was worried as she saw her mother-in-law gasping for air.
"It's okay, I just need to take a rest."
Mrs. Li was tired enough from climbing trees and picking fruits. She couldn't give up her picks, but she could still do it if she persisted.
Unfortunately, the idea was good, but her physical strength was limited. After resting for a while, she just supported her and walked a short distance, but she couldn't do it anymore.
Also, I feel a little bit hypoxic.
"Mom, I'll do it."
Seeing her mother-in-law's expression look bad, Mrs. Li directly picked up her basket and hung it on her chest, saying she wouldn't let Bai Yunxi carry it.
'My mother-in-law's face is pale. What if she gets sick from exhaustion?'
This time Baiyunxi didn't show off, she really couldn't carry it anymore.
Following Li on foot, Baiyunxi felt that she couldn't keep up.
"Mom, how are you?" Mrs. Li walked a few steps and looked back at Baiyun Xi, for fear that she would collapse from exhaustion.
"I'm fine, I just can't walk fast. Just go ahead and don't worry about me. I'll have no problem walking back slowly."
Bai Yunxi waved her hand, her family really found a treasure, Li's strength is beyond the reach of ordinary men.
Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, looked at the basket on her body, and couldn't help, so she could only nod,
"Mom, please walk slowly. I will take the pears home and come to pick you up."
