Chapter 84 Careful young man
He Laosi put away his cigarette pole and came over to pour some water. Hearing that Fu Jingyou was going to play jujube, he thought to himself and said:
"How about making dates at this hour? You can't see anything in the dark. Xiao Liu, you mean well, but don't waste things. If you can't, wait until dawn tomorrow."

Fu Jingyou opened her thin lips, thinking about what to say. The two aunts beside the bamboo bed put down their bowls and said:

"What are you afraid of? Just carry a lantern and go there."

After saying that, one of them had walked to the edge of the threshing floor with ease and took off the lantern from the temporary nailed rack.

It can be seen that the two aunts are very enthusiastic about playing jujube, which saves the time of making excuses. This result is in line with Fu Jingyou's wishes.

Lu Miao had been looking forward to this for a long time, but she kept it in her heart and couldn't say it openly. Fu Jingyou went to find the bamboo pole. The two aunts held lanterns and chatted and walked first to the door of Fu's house. She curled her lips, walked happily and snickered softly. Follow him.

Gu Ying and the others joined in the fun and walked slowly behind.

There was only He Laosi, and the bamboo bed was empty. He sat on the bamboo bed with his back crossed and his legs crossed, and began to smoke his favorite dry cigarette again.

In the darkness, the sparks on one end of his cigarette rod were clearly extinguished. On the other side, at the door of Fu's house, Fu Jingyou raised his head and laid down a bamboo rod against the jujube tree. Suddenly, there was a "whooshing" sound around him, and dense numbers of jujubes could be heard. The sound of landing.

Lu Miao was unprepared and was hit on the head by several dates.

She said "Ouch" and touched her head. When she realized what she wanted to do and wanted to pick up the dates, the two aunts moved quickly, so fast that they were not expected to be at their age. They stood up and squatted down, and the clothes on their chests were quickly emptied. There was a small pocket, and Lu Miao was stunned that she couldn't grab any of it.

"Humph."

She hummed quietly, pouting in annoyance.

Fu Jingyou noticed the movement on her side and slowed down his swing by half a beat.

Over at the threshing floor, He Laosi took a few cracks and said in a hoarse voice:

"Why are you two old women acting like children and fighting for food with a few dolls? You are not afraid of embarrassing yourself if you tell the truth."

One of the aunts laughed: "How can I enjoy this? Aren't you just thinking about picking up some to take back to your grandson?"

He Laosi took a sip twice more, but before he could speak, another aunt also said with a smile:
"Fourth Master, you don't need to mention my name. Although I don't have grandchildren in the house, I still have a daughter-in-law! These dates are good, not only big, I just ate one and it was very sweet. I'll take it." Order it back and feed it to my daughter-in-law."

He Laosi breathed out, smiled and joked: "Yes, you love your daughter-in-law the most in the entire production team."

"Ha ha--"

A simple voice sounded under the night sky.

After picking up the dates on the ground quickly, the two aunts raised their heads and saw that Fu Jingyou had stopped swinging, so they urged:

"Xiao Liu, don't be reluctant. We came here to work during the day and saw that the branches of the jujube trees in front of your house are all bent. Please hurry up and knock a few more poles."

indeed.

The several jujube trees in front of Fu's house were full of fruit this year, and a single jujube was worth nothing. Fu Jingyou regained his concentration, bulging his arm muscles, and knocked a few hard, and the sound of jujubes falling to the ground was heard all around again.

Lu Miao was unwilling to grab the dates. When everyone was looking for the dates, Fu Jingyou approached her with a bamboo pole and said, "Wait, I'll beat you again after they leave."

Lu Miao's clear eyes twinkled slightly, her pursed lips trembled, and finally she couldn't restrain herself from curved sweetly, "Yeah!"

The two aunts each quickly picked up a large bag of dates and left with satisfaction.

Ren Bingxin and the others also filled their pockets, thinking that this was the end. They all touched the dates in their pockets, preparing to ask Lu Miao to go back and share them.

Before they could say anything, the sound of jujubes falling to the ground was heard again. Everyone was caught off guard, and everyone was hit by jujubes more or less.The "rain" of dates continued for a while, and by the time Fu Jingyou stopped swinging, a large and dense layer had already accumulated on the ground.

"Wow! Pick it up quickly!"

Ren Bing screamed with her heart beating, even more excited than Lu Miao.

This time, Fu Jingyou harvested the jujube trees in the area with the most sunlight, so the sweetness of the jujubes would be higher.

Lu Miao and the others were busy picking dates. He put down the bamboo pole and stood aside to look. When he thought of something, he suddenly turned around and went to the backyard in the dark. When he came out again, he gently placed a bucket of water under the eaves at the door.

"Ah, Fu Jingyou, you are so considerate!"

Lu Miao noticed it with sharp eyes and ran over with a smile.

Carefully loosening the hand holding the hem of her clothes, she poured all the dates in her pocket into the bucket, shouting happily, "There is water here. After you finish picking it up, come here and wash it!"

Ren Bingxin responded: "Hey!"

Geng Xiaoyun and Gu Ying followed closely behind, "Oh, this is really complete."

Geng Xiaoyun took Gu Ying's place. Among the group, she became the loyal and responsible eldest sister among the female educated youths. When Lu Miao was having fun, she expressed her gratitude to Fu Jingyou, "Thank you, Comrade Fu."

Under the dim light of the lantern, half of Fu Jingyou's face was sunk into the shadows. His eyes fell on Lu Miao, who was squatting to stir the water, and never left.

The squeamish girl didn't even drink raw water, and Zamian Wowo found it difficult to get off her stomach. How could she wipe the dates and put them in her mouth hastily like other people, exposed to the wind and sun, and rolled countless times on the ground? ?
she...

He loves to be clean.

Fu Jingyou raised his thin lips slightly, shook his head and signaled Geng Xiaoyun that you're welcome.

Although she was worried about Lu Miao, it was hard to act too familiar in front of others. Fu Jingyou was silent, her eyebrows raised, and she suddenly turned her head and called out to Geng Xiaoyun:
"Wait a minute Geng Zhiqing."

"Ok?"

"I have something for you."

Geng Xiaoyun was puzzled and confused, "What is it?"

Fu Jingyou didn't say anything clearly, but turned around and went into the house. When he came out of the house again, he had a small jar in his hand.

Without any explanation, he directly handed the small jar to Geng Xiaoyun. Geng Xiaoyun understood instantly when he saw it, and immediately thanked him several times.

Lu Miao looked up when he heard the noise, "You guys are thanking me, what are you doing?"

Geng Xiaoyun waved his hands and smiled: "Nothing, have you washed it? I'll go back after washing it."

The dates have been washed, but there are too many, and the pockets can't hold them at all. We sleep at the threshing floor at night, so carrying them with clothes is not a problem.

Ren Bingxin was confused and didn't know what to do. She even thought about going back to get something to install. How could Lu Miao let her go to such trouble?I directly borrowed a gourd and scoop suit from Fu Jingyou.

After washing the dates in front of Fu's house, Gu Ying and Geng Xiaoyun washed their arms and legs with the water used to wash the dates, and then the group returned to the threshing floor.

In the simple "straw house", Geng Xiaoyun spread the sheets and couldn't help but glance at the small jar in the corner. "This has to be a young man from the south. Let alone a young man in our place, even a big girl and a young wife." You may not be able to be so careful.”
