Raising Babies in the 70s

Qin Rou really planted bitter gourd at home, but not in the yard, but on the second floor. For the sake of safety, it is best to keep crops like bitter gourd away from other plants, lest Transfer bitterness to other fruits and vegetables.

Although many people say that bitter gourd affects other plants is pseudoscience, but... cucumbers and loofahs grown with bitter gourd may often become bitter. Qin Rou once bought them in the vegetable market Luffa that is as bitter as bitter gourd.

"I hope these two thriving bitter gourd seedlings will bear fruit successfully." Qin Rou left the two most robust bitter gourd seedlings, waiting for them to grow up and bear fruit.

"Little aunt, do you really want to grow bitter gourd?" Xia Mingxi looked at Qin Rou with a bitter face, and did not understand Qin Rou's behavior of planting bitter gourd.

Xixi is very afraid of hardship, and he doesn't like to eat radishes very much. Last time he had a bitter gourd feast, he went to Chen Jingyi's house to avoid disaster.

After Chen's house built a new house, Xia Mingxi often went to Chen's house to live. He mainly wanted to play with Chen Jingyi of the same age. In addition, there were many children in the village. The second is to escape from two annoying little cousins.

"Well, take the boat and dumplings to plant bitter gourd." Qin Rou nodded. The bitter gourd seedlings at home were raised by her with two cubs and transplanted into the pot. Yes, probably because they were still tiny and fragile young plants, the Zhouzhou Dumpling brothers did not feel that the young plants were any threat.

My mother said that the melons are grown at home, so I don't have to exchange radishes with Uncle Zhang next door.

In fact, the stuffed meat with bitter gourd is quite delicious. The cubs can only eat the stuffed meat in the bitter gourd, and the bitter gourd skin is given to the elder brother and father to eat.

Little Dumpling said, "Brother Xixi, are you afraid of eating bitter gourd?"

Brother Zhouzhou cooperated: "Mom said that when you grow up, you won't be afraid to eat bitter gourd and radish."

Dumpling said: "Brother Xixi should eat more bitter gourd."

Zhou Zhou said: "I give my brother the bitter gourd to eat, and my mother said that Kong Rong should give the pear."

Dumpling nodded, Zhouzhou hugged his younger brother, and said: "Brother eats bitter gourd, younger brother eats meat..."

Dumpling held her face happily and said, "It's great to have a brother."

Qin Rou choked on the side, thinking that only at this time, their little dumplings will happily be the younger brother.

Little silly white sweet brother.

"The teacher said, this is a good brother, you want to love your brother, brother Xixi, are you right?" Brother Zhouzhou couldn't make the innocent gesture of holding his face, although he was as short as his younger brother Dumpling But he would raise his hand to touch his head, looking like a good brother who loves his younger brother.

It's really a brother and sister.

However, the little abacus in Zhouzhou’s heart also cracked, the little dumpling has a brother, he also has a big cousin, what’s more, the little dumpling still wants to be a brother, when necessary, Zhouzhou He can also become a younger brother, has two older brothers, and can bend and stretch.

"Brother Zhouzhou is so good, brother Xixi, are you also a good brother?"

At a young age, these two children have learned moral kidnapping.

Like their father, under the threat of bitter gourd, they can burst into a different kind of wisdom and eloquence.

Xia Mingxi: "…"

His face wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

"Your brother Jingyi is also a good brother, let him come over and eat the bitter gourd you planted." A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, and the more you go into the water, the happier you will be.

Zhouzhou and Dumpling nodded.

They began to look forward to the growth of the bitter gourd seedlings at home.

As the bitter gourd seedlings grew up, their small lawn also began to grow a lot of grass, Qin Rou asked the soldier's brother in the family's courtyard to help cut the grass. , For Brother Bing, it was easy to catch. After mowing, the two little cubs were playing on the lawn again.

"Mom, Ball."

There is a basketball court and a ping pong table in the family home. Zhouzhou and Jiaozi are very jealous when they see older children playing ball. Lu Yan bought them footballs and basketballs. They don't like football. , but likes basketball.

So at home, Qin Rou saw these two little kids playing basketball on the lawn.

Qin Rou: "...be careful in the yard, don't smash the flowers and plants planted by mother."

Fortunately, basketball is not suitable for playing, and two cubs playing basketball in the yard is a mild scene.

.

The three father and son always have to play a sweat and come back.

"Don't walk behind people when you are playing table tennis and badminton, remember to walk around a bit, and be careful not to be hit by others..." When they went to the court to play, Qin Rou always told a two sentences.

Generally, it is most dangerous to meet people playing table tennis and badminton. I am afraid that people will back up in order to catch the ball. If they hit a passing child, it is easy to cause an accident.

Some time ago, a five-year-old child in the family home was hit by a table tennis player, knocking his chin on the ground, causing a mouthful of blood, which terrified the people around him.

"Lu Yan, take good care of the child."

"Relax."

As a child of his age, he prefers games of hide-and-seek and pretending to catch people.

Recently he was playing a game of throwing sandbags with some children. The rules of the sandbag throwing game are that two people stand face to face, throwing sandbags at each other, and the other group of children is standing beside them. Hide the sandbag in the middle. If anyone gets hit, he will be out of the game. If he catches the sandbag, he will have one more chance to save his life.

Nowadays, the game of throwing sandbags is very popular in schools and family homes. You can often see sandbags flying in the sky, and there are also some seven or eight-year-old children, whose parents do not help I made sandbags myself, tried to get rags, and sewed sandbags with needles and threads.

Some people who do not have the conditions to make sandbags can get waste paper, knead it into a big paper ball, and then stick it around with tape, which can also be regarded as a simple "sandbag".

Children's games are like fashion trends, they are reincarnated again and again. When they get tired of playing hide and seek, they play throwing sandbags. When they get tired of throwing sandbags, they play pebbles, especially the game of pebbles. When it became popular, all kinds of children in the corner "played with stones."

Qin Rou also played pebbles with people when she was a child. When she saw other children playing, she secretly got a set of "pebbles", a set of five pebbles, with a variety of ways to play, only But it's not interesting to play at home by yourself.

When Huahua mother came to her house to pick onions, she said to Qin Rou, "Our family Liu Yue has been practicing hard at home recently, and I will practice with him."

The head next door Zhang heard the two of them talking and was very curious. He came over and asked, "What skills does your Liu Yue practice?"

"The technique of throwing stones, Zhang Tuan, have you never played it when you were a child?"

Zhang Chengbei: “…”

Can this also be called practice?

He boasted: "When I was in elementary school, no one in my class could compare to me in terms of slinging skills."

"You see how big I am? I have a lot of advantages, and our family is also very good."

"Really? Let's see?"

Qin Rou contributed a set of stones she had saved, Li Qinghua, Qin Rou and Zhang Chengbei squatted in the corner of the wall and played with stones together.

Maybe Head Zhang was really a master at slingering stones when he was a child, but this would have been rusty.

Li Qinghua: "...you are better than me!"

Mother Huahua is very proud. She has practiced a lot of time playing pebbles with her son recently.

Show it to Zhang Chengbei on the spot.

"Look, I can toss five, with the back of my hand, and then toss, with the palm of my hand—"

Li Qinghua showed Zhang Chengbei her little chubby hands, her hands were short and fat, very cute, but very flexible.

Zhang Chengbei: “…”

Captain Zhang is competitive and strong, but he refuses to admit defeat, "I haven't played for a long time, I'm good at it, wait for me to practice for a while, I'm sure I'm much better than you."

Qin Rou was very interesting watching the two of them compete for strength, so she simply made a pony, and the three of them played with stones at the door.

When Mr. Huang went home, he saw the three of them playing with stones together, and almost vomited out blood. At school, it was okay to see the students playing with stones on the table after class. When I got home, I saw three big children playing with stones, one of them was my own old man?

Old Lu from the house next door brought his two children to play on the basketball court, and this one in their house just played with stones?

When I saw the three useless firewood, I remembered that I was also a master at throwing stones when I was in elementary school, so I just leaned over and wanted to show it.

Qin Rou: “…”

At first she thought she wanted to play with stones for a while, but she didn't expect that the couple next door would be better.

When Lu Yan returned from the basketball court with his two children, he saw the four of them throwing stones together.

Lu Yan: "…"

Zhouzhou and Dumplings, like two little squirrels, popped out their little heads from their father's legs: "Mom, what are you playing?"

Qin Rou coughed, which seemed to be a little disrespectful, "Nothing to play, look at yourself, the three of them are all sweaty, take the child to take a bath and change clothes. "

Qin Rou removed her pony and dragged her husband and children home, leaving Head Zhang and his wife to play with stones with Li Qinghua.

Zhang Chengbei: "..." Afterwards, I remembered what I was doing.

Huang Xinying: “…”

Li Qinghua: "...I went to the cafeteria to have lunch."

Mr. Huang said: "I'll go with you."

Zhang Chengbei sighed, "I'll go home and take the child."

The days of the family home are so plain and with some twists and turns.

In mid-June 1975, the lychee tree transplanted to the yard in the year Zhouzhou and Jiaozi were born bore fruit. Last year, the tree did not bear fruit, but this year it unexpectedly grew fruit .

Since the small fruit appeared on the fruit tree, Qin Rou often took the two cubs in the family to count the fruit on the tree, "One, two, three, four..."

Zhou Zhou and Dumpling brothers counted together, waiting for the red lychees on the lychee tree to mature.

"Mom, eat fruit!"

"When they grow up a little more, let's pick them and eat them."

The two children cheered.

When Lu Yan came back, they rushed into Dad's arms, "Dad, the fruit we planted."

"Mom said it was our fruit."

"Big and red for mom and dad to eat!"

…

The two children spoke in a milky voice, and Lu Yan was very relieved to hear them, holding them to count the fruits together.

"This is the fruit tree that your mother planted after you were born."

"It is the fruit of Zhouzhou and dumplings."

The family is looking forward to the ripening of the fruit. The Zhang family next door sees the Lu family walking around the fruit tree every day. They don't have any, so it's too late to plant trees.

So Zhang Chengbei went to buy a sack of lychees and came back, "Isn't it a lychee, a cheap thing, such a bag is only a dime? Why plant it yourself."

"Just the lychee trees by the roadside, no one can finish it."

"The lychees on this tree are only 40 to 50 cents. It takes so much effort to grow lychees."

Huang Xinying peeled off a lychee and couldn't help sighing: "When a concubine of Hongchen laughs, no one knows it's a lychee."

"Look at how expensive the ancients ate this lychee, it's not worth a few cents."

"Enjoyed the emperor's treatment."

"The fruit is so sweet."

In addition to Zhang Dundun, the three members of the Zhang family who enjoyed the emperor's treatment all had nosebleeds, especially Zhang Yichao's child, who ate too many lychees and kept nosebleeds.

The nose is so hot that I can't stop it.

Mr. Huang blamed Zhang Chengbei: "Who told you to buy so many lychees?"

"I just bought it for a dime, who knew how much a dime would be."

"Can't you try it for a few cents?"

"I can't get it out, I think I'll buy more if I want to."

"Who told you to pretend."

…

The tragic situation of the Zhang family's nosebleed in advance was seen by several members of the Lu family.

Lu Yan and Qin Rou: "…"

The lychees in their family are not yet ripe, and they have already eaten lychees and have nosebleeds.

Qin Rou sighs, the expensive lychee mango coconut will not be worth a few dollars on the island in the future, or in other words, it will not be worth much at all.

Of course, because it is not valuable, and few people cultivate good varieties, they are all planted at will, but on this island, because of the climate, even if you plant them casually, the fruits that grow are very sweet.

Not so many fancy names.

The most important and economically valuable plants on the island are not these fruit trees, but rubber trees. Today, few people care about these fruit trees.

"Cubs, let's pick lychees!" Qin Rou prepared the scissors and asked the three children to come out and pick lychees together.

The lychee tree is planted next to the coconut tree, in the outermost corner, because it hasn’t been planted for a few years, and the tree hasn’t grown much. In fact, it doesn’t bear much fruit.

But the first time the fruit tree at home bears fruit, the sense of ceremony should be full!

After the family got together, they all put on straw hats and prepared scissors. Qin Rou and Lu Yan each held a child. The two cubs held the scissors and tried to rub the lychees. .

Xia Mingxi cut a few lychees with scissors, and then ate bananas alone. Yes, he didn't even bother to eat lychees.

Xixi looked disgusted.

Because I often go to Chen's house to play, there are more lychee trees on the roadside of the village, and the few lychee trees planted by various friends can't be eaten. Xia Mingxi is popular wherever he goes, the village The uncles and aunts in the house and other children gave him lychees, and he was afraid of eating them.

No sweetness!

I have had several nosebleeds.

Xia Mingxi touched his nose and was afraid, thinking that the fruit on this island is the best banana!

The only problem is to be careful when eating bananas on the mountain, because there will be monkeys coming to grab bananas.

The monkeys on the mountain are cheap, they don't eat bananas themselves, they like to grab bananas from other people's hands, and taunt people.

Lu Yan and his wife picked lychees with their cubs.

"Hurry up the dumplings, my mother's hands are tired."

"Let's eat lychees, Mom and Dad come to pick lychees."

…

Before picking lychees, Qin Rou prepared a big basket, and lychees had to be cut together with the branches and leaves, so it was very fast to cut them seriously. There are seven or eight lychees on a branch, and all you need is a pair of scissors. Cut it out and throw it in the basket.

Qin Rou tasted one, the lychee grown at home, although not very big, but still sweet and delicious.

Mom and dad picked lychees earnestly, the older cousin ate bananas, and the two cubs Zhouzhou and Dumpling squatted beside the basket to eat lychees, the family was in a particularly harmonious state.

After plucking all the red lychees from the tree, Qin Rou looked at the lychees in the basket. She made a guess, and guessed that... lychees of about two cents were found.

—Not worth the money.

"There are so many lychees, we can't finish them all at home, I'll go to the next door to deliver some."

Qin Rou went to several houses in the family home to knock on the door to deliver lychees, saying that they were lychees from their own fruit trees, but no one received the lychees she sent.

"Xiao Qin, don't eat it, don't eat it, this lychee gets angry."

"Don't eat, don't eat."

"Xiao Qin, we have another jackfruit in our family, you can take it back."

…

In this way, Qin Rou only forcibly left the lychees at Huahua's mother's house, and brought back a jackfruit from her family, which was considered a reluctance to send out a little.

"No one wants such a beautiful lychee."

In the 1970s and 1980s when traffic was underdeveloped and cold chain preservation technology was incomplete, not to mention lychees were worthless, even abalone and sea cucumbers were not worth a few dollars.

Qin Rou washed her hands, took out her enamel jar, peeled off the lychee shell, and squeezed the clean lychee flesh into the enamel jar without touching the lychee flesh with her fingers.

She first filled half a cup of lychee flesh and froze them in the freezer. She found that the frozen lychees that had been frozen for two hours were just right, and they were not completely frozen at this time, and had fresh flesh. Silky soft, with a bit of smoothie taste, very delicious.

Sweet, like eating a lychee smoothie, it's cold and very refreshing.

"Come and eat some frozen lychees."

This ice cream smoothie-like frozen lychee has the most natural temptation for children, even Xia Mingxi, who was tired of eating lychees, ate seven or eight.

"Auntie, it's delicious!"

"Second ice and ice ice!" Zhouzhou and Dumpling scooped the moist and milky ice lychees with spoons. The scent of lychees was filled with icy vapors, and Zhouzhou opened his eyes wide. I took a bite on the ice lychee, it was cold at first, the sweetness of the lychee melted in my mouth, it was a little bit frozen, but it was very delicious! !

"Boom!"

Because these two brothers are still young, Qin Rou doesn't give them more food, two frozen lychees per person, no more.

"Zhouzhou and Dumplings eat two frozen lychees."

"Why can brother Xixi and father eat so much?"

"Because Zhouzhou and Dumplings have not developed their stomachs well, they can't eat too much ice, and they will get sick if they eat too much."

"Okay, let's eat two today, and let you eat two tomorrow."

"Mom, eat another one."

"No, only two!"

Zhou Zhou and Dumpling Brothers stomped their feet like a pig to express their dissatisfaction.

Thinking that my sister-in-law doesn't have a freezer at home, so I can't eat frozen lychees, so Qin Rou freezes a lot of lychees. Just when Lu Yan came back from a business trip for a day off, Lu Yan said to bring frozen lychees. Drive her and the cubs to Bighorn Village.

Zhao Jianghong heard about this, tried to ask for a day off, and also drove to Dajiao Village to meet his partner.

Ye Mingxiu is an educated youth here, and his family situation needs to be reviewed. In addition, when he met Qiongzhou Island, there was an enemy special incident. Recently, the review has been extremely strict. It took a month to approve it, and Zhao Jianghong couldn't wait to meet people.

A borrowed jeep, Lu Yan sat in the driver's seat, Zhao Jianghong sat in the passenger seat, seeing Lu Yan driving, Zhao Jianghong was both startled and suspicious: "Old Lu, you can drive ?"

"Simple skills."

"Can't officers drive?" Military vehicles are generally only driven by dedicated soldiers and soldiers after training. When driving a military vehicle, an officer must follow the car, one officer per vehicle, and many technical officers , is a dedicated car follower.

"Don't drive doesn't mean you won't, why do you talk so much? You brother Lu and I are very talented. I have given driving training to people before."

Zhao Jianghong: “…”

Lu Yan drove the car steadily forward, Zhao Jianghong was very envious when he saw him, no man wanted to control the steering wheel, Zhao Jianghong watched him drive carefully.

"It looks pretty simple to me, why don't you let me open it when you come back?"

Lu Yan: "No."

"I am responsible for my wife and children."

Zhao Jianghong: “…”

Qin Rou: “…”

"Why don't you teach me to practice the car in the car? Stay away from your wife and children?"

Lu Yan smiled contemptuously: "Brother Lu, my vacation is very precious. I'll use it to accompany you to practice your car? What a sweet dream."

Zhao Jianghong: "Forget it, I'll find my partner too."

Qin Rou looked left and right at the side of the road, driving in this era is very safe, because there are basically no other vehicles on the road, and there is no need to worry about collision between two vehicles, but many roads are bumpy, not very good open.

Tractor cars can be proud and indulge in these places. Tractors can be changed into tanks.

This road is too safe. Qin Rou, who has never dared to drive with a driver's license, dares to drive on such a small road. After all, there is no danger to her life. It is not easy to drive fast. .

When they arrived at Dajiao Village, as soon as their car appeared, it attracted a lot of onlookers. Lu Yan moved a large box of ice lychees into Chen's house. The people in the village were extraordinarily hospitable and hospitable. Knowing Qin Rou, he happily came over to chat.

Qin Rou took out some frozen lychees for the villagers to taste. Some of these frozen lychees were shelled and some were not. Qin Rou gave the unshelled ones to the villagers.

"Oh, lychees, we have a lot of them. If you want to eat them, I will go to the mountain to pick some and give them to you..."

"Try it, frozen lychee."

"Frozen lychees? Yeah, it's so cold."

"Take one or two for the kids at home? It's too cold, try it early, don't eat too much."

When Qin Rou and the others arrived at Chen's house, several educated youths came to visit Chen's house and read books in Chen's house. Among them was one of them, Wang Zhiqing, who was sitting on the long bench, flipping the pages carefully. A "One Hundred Thousand Whys".

Zhou Yuanfang, another male educated youth next to him, held a little book in his hand, and smiled while looking at him: "What's the point of reading these books, is it still a math problem? What's the use of learning it now, We can't go to college anymore."

Wang Zhiqing said: "The content in the book is very interesting, I want to see it."

"You're a nerd!"

"It's okay to read it. In the future, you Wang Zhiqing will stay in the village and become a primary school teacher, just like Teacher Chen."

Qin Mian greeted her sister and brother-in-law into the house, and brought a box of frozen lychees in. Qin Rou saw the two male educated youths sitting in the room, and said unexpectedly, "Are there any guests?"

Qin Rou noticed a male educated youth with glasses holding a copy of "One Hundred Thousand Whys".

Two male educated youth stood up to greet them.

"We're here to borrow books, sorry to bother you." Wang Zhiqing said.

"The book in your hand is exactly what I gave to my two nephews. It contains a lot of content. If you like it, read more."

Zhou Yuanfang smiled and said: "He, he likes reading this book very much, he is obviously doing farm work every day, and he is still thinking about math problems, and the students in other schools don't do the problems now. , a lot of other things."

"If you want to be recommended by the commune to go to university, you might as well do a good job in the farm work and make a good relationship, maybe the place to go to university will fall on you, oh, I forgot, Your ingredients don't seem to be good..."

"You see your eyes like this, but be careful that the monkeys take away the glasses again."

…

After listening to his words, Wang Zhiqing just smiled, obviously not taking his words seriously. After many people went to the countryside to become educated youth, they began to degenerate, and they didn’t want to study every day. Just thinking about how to escape from labor and how to return to the city as soon as possible.

Wang Zhiqing looked at Qin Rou and said seriously: "Books are good books, let children read more."

Qin Rou nodded, she paid attention to Wang Zhiqing, and felt that an educated youth like him who went to the countryside must be the first batch of college students who can enter the university after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

"Other educated youths who want to see it can also invite them to come and see it."

Can be useful.

Qin Rou asked them to borrow books from her sister's husband's house, which is also considered to help create a good relationship. If she can seize the opportunity and take the college entrance examination in the future, it will change her destiny.

Zhao Jianghong went to the educated youth station to find Ye Mingxiu. After Lu Yan and Qin Rou put down the frozen lychees, they took their two cubs up the mountain to play.

Qin Rou took his arm and looked at the natural scenery on the mountain, thinking that this was a rare opportunity for a family outing.

"The children said they were going to see the monkeys and brought bananas..."

The old father Lu Yan brought the bananas that the two children insisted to bring, and the family walked into the mountains, Qin Rou brought the camera, the four of them walked and stopped on the mountain, and took a lot of photos .

They also met several macaque monkeys.

Qin Rou: “…”

The monkeys of this era are too flat? ! !

Seeing the little macaque, the two cubs, Zhouzhou and Dumpling, were scared and pulled on their father Lu Yan's lap, popping out to look at the monkey.

This little macaque with salted fish turned over on the stone, revealing a large snow-white belly to them.

Monkey belly also looks fluffy.

Qin Rou: "???!!!"

She actually wanted to reach out and play with the monkey.

"Lu Yan, you said if I go up and rub the fur on his belly, will he grab me?"

Lu Yan was speechless, "Can you, a mother, set an example for your children and take the lead?"

You are teasing monkeys on the mountain, and your sons don’t follow suit?

"This monkey is really cute, cubs, don't you think?" The point is that it still looks like a salted fish and has a good temper. It is the kind of monkey that lies flat.

Zhouzhou and Dumpling nodded.

Qin Rou gave them popular science: "The aunt in the village said that these individual actions are usually male monkeys. If the election for the monkey king fails, the male monkeys will be driven out to wander..."

If the male monkey does not work hard, the little macaque lying flat with salted fish like the one in front of him is the male monkey who was driven out of the group.

The election for the monkey king failed, the male monkeys of the group were driven away, and all the female monkeys stayed as the monkey king's companions.

Does it sound cool? Not really, because the mother monkey will give and receive privately with the stray monkeys outside, and cuckold the monkey king.

"Wandering monkeys?"

"Mom, it's so pitiful, they don't have a home."

"Give it a banana."

Qin Rou brought her two children and asked Lu Yan to take the banana to feed the monkey, "Brother Lu, you are more clever, would you like to take the opportunity to touch its belly?"

She wanted to know how it felt.

Lu Yan: "…"

Lu Yan handed the banana to the little macaque, the little macaque lazily took the banana offered by the human, peeled the banana and gnawed it, Lu Yan took the opportunity to scratch its belly scratched.

Qin Rou clicked to take pictures, snapped—

I got a monkey! !

Lu Yan: "…"

What's so good about this?

The little macaque said "hahahah", motioning Lu Yan to scratch his chin for Uncle Monkey, Lu Yan said, "…"

He stretched out his hand and scratched the monkey's chin, and the little macaque was very comfortable and scratched his belly with his legs, which seemed to be very enjoyable.

Qin Rou did not dare to speak loudly, but only dared to speak softly: "Lu Yan, you have an affinity for animals just like your brother."

"Mom, I want to touch the monkey too."

"Your father has been in close contact with Mr. Monkey as a family representative. We are still young, so we won't play with monkeys yet."

Qin Rou is afraid that these surnamed Lu really have animal affinity. What if the little macaques are comfortable with their fur, and they forcefully follow them home like the little squirrel? ? ? !

She doesn't want to keep macaques in the family yard.

Are two real and fake Monkey Kings not enough? ! !

"Chirp..."

Fortunately, the little macaque had had enough, dropped the banana peel and walked away with a flick of its tail.

"Or let's get out of here too, in case the monkey runs back to rescue soldiers."

Lu Yan smiled: "You should watch Journey to the West less."

"Okay, Zhouzhou and dumplings, we've seen enough monkeys today, let's go back."

Zhouzhou and Dumpling nodded reluctantly. At this moment, Qin Rou suddenly found that where the monkey was lying, there was a tree not far from the side, and a vine was wrapped around the tree. , and it bore fruit.

Take a closer look, how can these little fruits look like... passion fruit?

Qin Rou went to pick a fruit, tried to hammer it open, and found that it was really passion fruit.

The pulp inside is light yellow with black seeds. When you open it, you smell the strange sour aroma. Don't think about it, it must be passion fruit.

"Mom, it smells so good."

"It's sour."

This fruit basically does not need to be tasted, just smelling the smell can feel the strong sour taste.

Passion fruit is very sour, but the passion fruit juice made with water and rock sugar is very delicious, not to mention passion fruit jam.

—this is wild passion fruit!

Go up the mountain to find the treasure.

Qin Rou immediately decided to dig this passion fruit seedling home and plant it. She found several next to it, and some small passion fruit seedlings, she dug them all out.

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to bring it back to plant? This wild fruit?"

"Don't you think the aroma smells good?"

Lu Yan: "You can plant as much as you want. Don't eat anything on the mountain. Be careful of poisoning. Ask the people in the village after you go down the mountain."

Qin Rou and Lu Yan took the two children down the mountain. By the time they went down the mountain, the two children, Zhouzhou and Jiaozi, were already sleepy. Lu Yan held one in each hand and let them sleep in his arms.

Qin Rou carried her passion fruit vine seedlings and asked him, "Are you tired, do you want me to hold one for you?"

"Don't be tired, you, take your wild fruit."

When she returned to Dajiao Village, Qin Rou looked for the enthusiastic aunt Fu Yulan and asked her, "Aunt Fu, do you recognize this fruit?"

When Aunt Fu saw the passion fruit she was holding, she immediately replied, "I see, why did you pick so many? This stuff is sour and not tasty."

Qin Rou smiled: "I smell the fruit very fragrant, I want to plant it at home, the fruit looks pretty good."

"It should be sweet and sour when it's cooked? Have you ever eaten it, auntie?"

"You young girls, you really look good. I was like you when I was young. I dug a few plants up the mountain and came back, and now they are planted in front of my pigsty... big girl , Seriously, don't eat it, this fruit is so sour, no matter how you grow it, pigs don't like it."

"My pigsty has grown a lot next to it, how about I send you a few seedlings too?"

Qin Rou: "...Okay, okay...but I still want to taste it, auntie, what's the result of your family?"

"What about fruit? But Auntie, I advise you not to eat it, pigs don't like it." Aunt Fu looked at Qin Rou with a strange look, thinking how could this girl So stubborn, do you still want to try the fruit that pigs don't like to eat?

Qin Rou: “…”

It turned out that the passion fruit she thought was a treasure had long been planted next to the pigsty. The fruit was fed to the pigs, and the pigs disliked it.

—too sour.

Don't say pigs, children who go up the mountain do not pick such wild fruits, children only like to pick sweet wild fruits, these sour fruits are on the blacklist of wild fruits.

"My house grows a lot of fruit. If you like it, I will pick it up and give it to you..."

Qin Rou was given a lot of passion fruit by the enthusiastic Aunt Fu. She has to admit that the passion fruit growing by the pigsty is bigger and more nutritious than the wild passion fruit on the mountain.

She's going to take it back to make passion fruit juice!

The way of eating passion fruit juice and passion jam has not been developed in this era.

On this island, when the economy opens up, it is better to sell fruit tea.
