Chapter 38: Oranges of Yellow Oranges and Oranges

It was an overcast day, and the sky was dark and heavy.

To the west of Yushu Village, in a field, Zhao Xueer was busy weeding the weeds.

This sweet potato field needs to be weeded once after more than a month, so that the sweet potatoes can grow better.

She had just finished digging up the last weed, and when she raised her head, she saw a large dark cloud in the sky blown over by the wind, and the sky became increasingly gloomy in an instant.

"It's going to rain." She murmured, staring at the dark clouds on the horizon.

He lowered his head and quickly used a hoe to pull the weeds out of the field.

Otherwise, if it is left in the ground like this, with the super reproductive ability of weeds, it may not take long for it to grow back again.

With a "pop" sound, something hit her head and hands, and raindrops rolled down the back of her hands.

The rustling rain fell from the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier, as if it was trying to make up for most of the rainfall in the past half year.

Zhao Xueer raised her head and let the rain wash her face. Her eyelashes like ink feathers were wet by the rain, but she was obviously smiling.

It's raining, it's finally raining!

The lean years are about to pass!

She finally got through it.

At this time, in Yushu Village, bursts of exclamations accompanied by the sound of rain shocked the whole village.

"God is finally merciful, it's raining~ it's raining - hahahaha..."

Some members were shouting and laughing heartily in the rain.

Some people even stretched out their hands to receive a handful of rainwater and drank it directly.

Those who were hiding in the house from the rain poured a cup of hot water, held an enamel cup, and sat happily in the main room, looking at the rain curtain with mist under the eaves.

"Okay, it's raining well."

The joy of rain after a long drought permeated the whole village.

Yun Xiaotang was playing in the yard when the sky suddenly became extremely gloomy with dark clouds and a storm was coming.

The "tick" raindrops fell, and the ground in the yard was densely covered with traces of raindrops.

"Yeah, my sister is still in the field, I'm going to give her an umbrella."

Reaching out to wipe the raindrops from her forehead, Yun Xiaotang quickly got up and ran back to the main room, picked up her umbrella and was about to go out.

"Chun'er, just let me go and see you off at home."

Dou Hongxia grabbed her and was about to take the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and go out.

"Auntie, I'd better go, it's not far away, you'll be at home."

After saying that, Yun Xiaotang opened her umbrella and rushed into the rain.

Dou Hongxia couldn't stop her. She looked at her lively figure and smiled, "This child."

Yun Xiaotang was walking on the dirt road in the village holding an umbrella. The umbrella handle was too long for her current height.

So she put the umbrella handle diagonally on her shoulder, and the big umbrella almost covered her entire little body.

Carrying a hoe, Zhao Xueer was walking home in the rain when she bumped into a moving oil-paper umbrella in front of her.

The little guy under the umbrella held the umbrella handle with both hands, raised the umbrella slightly, and smiled when he saw her.

"elder sister!"

Yun Xiaotang hurriedly stepped forward and tried her best to raise the umbrella high, just enough to cover Zhao Xueer's head.

Zhao Xueer smiled softly, wiped the rain off her face with her hand, and took the umbrella from her sister.

"Let me hold the umbrella." After saying that, he held his sister with his other hand and tilted the umbrella towards her.

The two held hands and walked on the way home.

The mist that gradually rose from the downpour engulfed their figures.

One autumn rain and one cold, it is already late autumn in a blink of an eye, and winter will really begin in a few days.

There is a big temperature difference between morning, mid-day and night, and when you get up early, you can even see frost on the vegetables in the vegetable garden.

When the sun came out at noon, it was a sunny day again. The warm sun shone on me, making me feel warm.

The green grassland by the river has stopped growing. While there is still some grass to eat, the grazing team is grazing the cattle.

In a few days, they would no longer need to herd cattle when winter came.

Yun Xiaotang found a sunny place and sat down to bask in the sun.

The sun shone on her back like a furnace in winter, making her squint in comfort.

He turned around and lay down directly on the grass, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

"Chun'er, what are you doing?" Wang Dongmei walked over and asked.

"I'm basking on my back. It's very comfortable. You can try it too."

Yun Xiaotang didn't even open her eyes, she narrowed her eyes and replied.

Wang Dongmei followed Yun Xiaotang's example and lay down on the grass.

She also took out a cloth bag, which contained popcorn that Chun'er's sister taught her grandma to make.

"Chun'er, try the popcorn made by my grandma. When I eat it, it doesn't taste the same as the one made by your sister, but it tastes good."

Wang Dongmei punched Yun Xiaotang on the shoulder, and after she opened her eyes, she grabbed a handful of popcorn for her, and then grabbed a handful for Zhao Tianer who was standing aside.

The three of them were lying on the grass together, eating popcorn sideways. Under the warm sun, the scene was peaceful and beautiful.

At this time, in the field of the production team, Dou Hongxia placed the bamboo basket containing Xiaoping in the sun, letting her bask in the sun and really bask in the child.

Xiao Ping'an stayed in the bamboo basket obediently, holding the edge of the bamboo basket with both hands, and looking at his mother who was working in the fields.

Zhao Xueer looked at the fine weather in autumn, and she could go to the mountains to find food.

There must be a lot of harvest in the mountains and forests in autumn.

What's more, it rained before, so there might be some wild fruits and vegetables ripe.

Under the warm sunshine of late autumn, she couldn't help but smile.

At noon on the second day, Zhao Xueer picked up the bamboo basket and went into the mountain.

In the autumn, the mountain forest is full of gold and red. The golden ones are withered leaves, and the red ones are maple trees that have turned red.

There are dark green pine forests in the distance.

Walking on a mountain path covered with fallen leaves, there will be a crisp sound when your feet step on the dead leaves.

When she came to the bamboo forest, she picked up a sickle and chopped down a bamboo tree, picked off the large bamboo leaves on it, and cut the bamboo into several pieces, leaving them to strengthen the vegetable garden.

This time, she went straight to the west, a place she had never been before.

After brushing away the dead branches of the shrubs, the road under my feet became increasingly difficult to walk. After climbing one hillside after another, it suddenly became clear.

Panting, when I climbed up a hillside again, I saw a dazzling golden color.

Orange tree!

It’s an orange tree full of citrus!

Zhao Xueer rushed over happily, not paying attention to her steps, and stepped on a dead tree, almost slipping.

She stabilized her body and continued running towards the citrus tree.

It was not one orange tree, but several. The lush leaves set off the golden oranges, a scene full of fruits.

The orange tree is not very tall, its branches are low and bent under the weight of the heavy oranges.

Zhao Xueer first picked a yellow-orange orange, peeled it open and tasted the taste. She gently bit open the orange segment, and the sweet and sour orange juice filled her mouth. It was ice cold and very delicious.

After quickly finishing the oranges in her hand, Zhao Xueer began to pick oranges harder.

The oranges are large and heavy, and look particularly good when placed in bamboo baskets.

After a while, the bamboo basket was full, and Zhao Xueer lifted it with her hand.

Oops, quite heavy.

Covering the bamboo basket with the bamboo leaves she picked earlier, she squatted down, took a deep breath and carried the bamboo basket on her back.

The moment I just stood up, my lower body was unstable and I staggered.

She was so shocked that she was afraid of falling. The orange rolled out and smashed, and she really wanted to cry.

After taking a step forward and getting used to the weight on her back, Zhao Xueer embarked on her way home carrying the heavy oranges on her back.
