Chapter 87
The two were still several meters away, and the lychee was still in a bag, how could it be possible to smell it so quickly.
"Of course I can smell it, such a fragrant lychee smell." Zhuo Lan was surprised, turned his head to look at Dean Zhuo and suddenly remembered: "Dad, you have rhinitis again."
Dean Lu nodded, and quickly remembered that he had to go to the hospital in the morning. The cold wind blowing in the queue seemed to be a lot of sneezes.
"Dad, are you going to sell vegetables?"
Seeing that Dean Lu's hands were full of things, Zhuo Lan struggled to get up from the sofa and walked over slowly.
On the other side of the sofa, Sun Mingfang saw her daughter-in-law trembling, and anxiously put down the wool in her hand, shouting: God, you can be careful. "
Zhuo Lan's pregnancy was particularly difficult. From the beginning of three months, she had been suffering from morning sickness until now. Except for her terribly big belly, she was skinny and skinny. The
old couple was shocked, for fear that her thin body would have a What's wrong, I can only buy nutritional supplements for her every day.
But... Director Lu glanced down at Zhuolan's slender arm, and felt it was useless.
Seeing that next month is the due date, he is really worried Zhuo Lan didn't have the strength to hold on to full term.
"Dad, this lychee is so fragrant. As he walked in, Zhuo Lan almost swallowed while talking.
"It's not yet the season of lychees, these must have been ripened with medicine and cannot be eaten." "Sun Mingfang glared at Dean Lu, then turned around and put on a smile again: "Mom will cook chicken soup for you. Zhuo Lan nodded ,
but his eyes seemed to be glued to the lychee bag.
When Dean Lu saw this, he quickly explained to his wife, "This is grown in the orchard that Wenwen talks about every day, saying that it is natural and organic. over pesticides. "
"The one that Wenwen talks about every day?" "Sun Mingfang has also heard of this name. The eldest granddaughter Wenwen shouts every day to go to that place to pick fruit, but her daughter-in-law is inconvenient, so it has been delayed until today.
"Mom! Isn't that the orchard that supplies Pagoda?"
Zhuo Lan was very happy. All the fruits she ate during her pregnancy were bought by Pagoda. Although it was a bit expensive, it tasted really good.
During the worst period of morning sickness, she could only eat some fruit to fill her stomach.
While talking, Zhuo Lan had already walked to the dining table, and immediately picked up the largest lychee and peeled it under the gaze of the two of them.
The aroma quickly spread throughout the room, and the crystal clear and full flesh made Zhuo Lan swallow hard.
As soon as I entered it, the soft, waxy and sweet taste suddenly filled my entire mouth, and after chewing a few more times, a faint floral fragrance poured into my nostrils.
"Dad, this lychee is delicious."
Zhuo Lan casually spat out a nucleus that was only the size of an amygdala, and immediately reached out and took a big handful.
At least half of the bunch was gone, and Sun Mingfang immediately started to nag again: "Zhuo Lan, you can't eat more, or you should get angry tomorrow."
"I know...I know...Mom!"
Sofa Zhuo Lan, who was on top, dealt with it casually, and kept stuffing lychees into his mouth for a moment.
Dean Lu looked at the few lychees left, and asked Sun Mingfang to put the lychees in the refrigerator: "Keep some for Wenwen, and bring them out for their mother and daughter to eat at night." The
old couple were reluctant to try it. Just thinking about leaving the good stuff for the kids.
"Why don't you buy more!" Sun Mingfang complained.
"People sell two kilograms. If you don't believe me, you can go to the window to see it yourself." Dean Lu was helpless,
Sun Mingfang heard the words and walked to the living room window to look down. Sure enough, she saw the people in line from the V, Family Courtyard. The gate has been lined up to the door of the hospital.
People's psychology is very strange. When she saw so many people lining up, Sun Mingfang subconsciously felt that it was a good thing, although she had never tasted it herself.
"No, I have to line up to buy some."
Dean Lu hurriedly grabbed Sun Mingfang, who was really about to leave, and shook his head helplessly: "Young man didn't bring much stuff today, it's not your turn at all.
" The thing on the table said: "You better come and see what to do with the rest of the things."
Sun Mingfang patted her thigh with a remorseful look, and reluctantly moved to the table before looking at the big one she bought. pile of things.
There were several packets of greens, tomatoes and cucumbers, and even eggs and brown sugar.
And the woven bag placed at the foot of the dining table also startled her: "What is this, it's still moving."
"It's the chicken sent by the boss, just for Zhuo Lan's body.
" Chicken, that's a good thing." Sun Mingfang squatted down and untied the rope.
Two old hens covered in khaki were exposed. Sun Mingfang grew up in the countryside, and soon saw the difference between the two chickens.
"The meat of this chicken is so firm, look at how hard the feathers are."
Dean Lu saw the bound chicken beak at a glance: "Be careful not to be pecked by the chicken, look at how sharp its beak is. "
These chicken feet are so big."
Sun Mingfang twisted the chicken wings and pulled the chicken out. Finally, he saw the chicken feet that were much larger than the average chicken feet. The chicken feet were pitch-black and the fingertips were extremely sharp.
"You can see that the chickens are pecking people when they are so tightly tied." The
two chickens not only had their feet tied up, but also had their wings and beaks tied with ropes. At first glance, they felt that their fighting power was extraordinary.
"Then I'll try stewing one after lunch. This chicken is definitely a good thing."
Sun Mingfang felt even more regret when she saw the chicken. This is a good thing that is hard to find with a lantern on. .
"Then you soak in the dried mushrooms, just take that to stew."
"Mushrooms?"
The two were still discussing the chicken soup, and neither of them noticed that Zhuo Lan on the sofa had already eaten the lychees that he had caught, and his eyes were already glued to the small part of the table.
After some ideological struggle, she finally endured it, thinking that she should leave some for her daughter.
Before dinner, the door of Lu's house was almost pushed open with force. Lu Wenwen gasped and opened her mouth to ask, "Grandpa, where is my lychee."
The voice of Dean Lu, who was resting in the bedroom, came from afar: "In the refrigerator."
Lu Wenwen threw off her schoolbag and shouted, "Long live grandpa." People were already rushing to the refrigerator.
Zhuo Lan, who was lying comfortably on the sofa, raised her hand, and finally suppressed what she wanted to say.
"Grandpa, why didn't I find the lychee?"
"I just put it in the refrigerator!" Dean Lu walked out of the room and followed him to the refrigerator.
It's not that there are no lychees in the refrigerator, but... two lychees.
There were only two red lychees lying in the plastic bag, and the bag was stuffed into the gap.
Dean Lu didn't need to ask to know that Zhuo Lan had already finished eating in the afternoon, and the two remaining lychees were the last ones she left... the love for her daughter.
"Just these two." Dean Lu replied helplessly.
"How could it be!" Lu Wenwen cried and returned to the living room holding two precious lychees. The innocent child thought that each person could only buy two, and even thought about how to divide the five members of the family.
Until...she saw the lychee shells in the trash can.
A "Mom!" resounded through the four rooms and two halls of the Lu family.
Hearing the movement, Sun Mingfang trotted out of the kitchen. Hearing the cause of the incident, he didn't know who to speak for.
After weighing it, she suddenly thought of the chicken soup stewed in the kitchen: "Wenwen, have you smelled the aroma of chicken soup?"
"Chicken soup?"
"It's the chicken from the owner of the orchard, and dried mushrooms. It smells good."
"Really, is it really from Boss Qu?" Lu Wenwen sniffed at the kitchen, and she could smell a strange fragrance wafting from the kitchen. .
"Then I want to eat more chicken at night, not for my mother." Lu Wenwen wrinkled her nose angrily.
Holding two lychees carefully, Lu Wenwen followed Sun Mingfang into the kitchen step by step.
This pot of soup made in a casserole caused quite a stir on the Lu family's dining table that night.
Lu Meng, who had just come home from get off work, walked to the stairwell on the second floor when he smelled this fragrance.
At that time, he was also discussing with the neighbors who came back from the hospital with the smell of their food wafting into the corridor. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door of his house, he found out that the source was in his house.
When the pot of soup with a layer of golden chicken oil was blown open, the freshness of the mushrooms and the fragrance of the chicken soup immediately made him exclaim, "Why is this chicken soup so fragrant.
" I saw a few red scratches on the back of her hand. As a doctor, Lu Meng subconsciously thought that Sun Mingfang
was caught by a dog, so he quickly grabbed her hand and asked seriously, "Mom, what's wrong with your hand?"
I caught it."
She had already prepared herself before handling the chicken, but she never thought that the chicken was more powerful than she thought, and her claws had scratched her several times during the struggle.
"This chicken is so fierce?" Dean Lu was also surprised.
Lu Wenwen raised her head proudly and raised her chest: "Of course it's amazing, but that's a free-range chicken from Yunshan Orchard, running all over the mountains and fields!"
After speaking, she hurriedly stopped her family who wanted to pick up vegetables and took several pictures with her mobile phone. After the photo was uploaded on Weibo, I continued to eat.
"Mom, I still want a bowl of soup."
"Grandma, I want to eat chicken blood, but I can't get it. You can help me with a piece."
"This chicken is not fishy at all, it's fragrant and crunchy, and it tastes really good."
"No, no, the rest will be saved for Zhuo Lan to eat tomorrow, you can eat other dishes."
"This spinach is not astringent at all, Spinach roots are so sweet."
A meal ended in a variety of voices, and the rice that was usually cooked for two meals was eaten that night.
Lu Meng rubbed his stomach and collapsed on the sofa: "As a doctor, my literacy tells me not to eat too much for dinner, but I'm not only full, but also tired."
Lu Wenwen laughed, sitting cross-legged on the sofa and began to post post.
The golden chicken soup is paired with green spinach, as well as hot and sour chicken offal and chicken blood with red oil, making this table look colorful and appetizing.
Recently, a special column called Yunshan Village Orchard was opened on the local forum. This was just added by the forum administrator who found that there were too many posts about this content.
Lu Wenwen clicked in, and soon found out that someone else had posted before her.
The man displayed the lychees he bought in all directions, and Lu Wenwen thought of the delicious lychees that he could only taste.
However, that person didn't buy chicken and mushrooms, which made her regain her confidence, and after quitting, she quickly uploaded her own pictures.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to reply and beg her to comment on the taste in detail.
She started replying contentedly, but Sun Mingfang urged Dean Lu to call Fu Yunliang.
"Just ask Director Fu, let's just say we want to buy some chickens and ducks."
Zhuo Lan hasn't shown any signs of vomiting until now after dinner, and she will be sitting on the sofa watching the TV series contentedly.
Dean Lu thought about it, he still felt that the health of his daughter-in-law was more important than the issue of face.
Pulling out his phone to find the unfamiliar number, Dean Lu really called Deputy Fu Yunliang.
But he regretted telling him that he didn't have a phone either, but Fu Yunliang finally asked for the number from Hou Binhong.

And when Qu Zhong returned to Yunshan Village after selling the vegetables, he found that several black cars had blocked the door of his house.
He and Xiazhou had to drive the car to the orchard, pack up the frame and tools first, and then park the car at the entrance of the orchard and walk into the house through the back door.
Several people know that the old leader that Quan Shengli has been talking about has arrived.
There was no one guarding the house. The three of them walked from the backyard to the front yard, and they heard someone talking in the living room.
That iconic loud voice is a complete victory, and it's not enough to say it, Qu Zhong can see his arms still waving in the air through the glass.
"If you didn't save me, the old head, I wouldn't even be able to go home..." On
the sofa in the living room, facing the French window, sat an old man with Zhu Yanhefa. Qu Zhong and the others had just walked to the yard. Already looked up.
Lu Jun couldn't help but take two steps back, shrinking behind Qu Zhong.
The old man just looked at them like this, and his whole body already showed a sense of oppression without anger and self-pretence.
"Qu Zhong is back, come and come quickly." Quan Shengli smiled, stretched out his hand to greet Qu Zhong and sat down.
And Lu Song, the two people in Xiazhou, who were naturally ignored by Quan Shengli, also greeted them and sat down beside them.
"This is the old leader I've been talking about, so you can call it Grandpa Wu." The
three of them called out in unison, "Okay Grandpa Wu."
"Okay, all right!" Wu Song smiled and turned to Qu Zhong: " You are the kid Qu that Victory kept talking about."
"If there is no kid with the surname Qu here, I'm afraid it is me." Qu Zhong smiled lightly, showing no fear or hesitation at all.
"I want to thank you on behalf of victory!" Wu Song retracted his scrutiny eyes and leaned back on the sofa behind him with a look of relief: "It's fortunate that you keep the things that the little bastards are fighting over so they haven't been taken away.
" Zhong couldn't answer, whether Wu Song was joking or really couldn't even tell him.
But Qu Zhong's own feeling should be the former. Wu Song was afraid that he was worried that he would get rich, and he took in the two for this considerable wealth.
"Old Captain, this kid has no other advantages, just a good temper."
Quan Shengli didn't feel anything wrong, and was still excitedly pushing Qu Zhong forward.
However, Lu Song immediately saw the clue. He smiled and patted Qu Zhong's shoulder: "This kid is really good-natured. I heard that his aunt's dowry was given by him."
Wu Song raised his eyebrows with a light look in his eyes. Softly: "Oh?"
The voice was very soft, but it clearly implied disbelief. Qu Zhong smiled shyly and rubbed his nose: "grandmother ordered me."
Speaking of Zhang Chaohong, Qu Zhong found that there were no sisters Zhang Chaohong and Duan Weiguo in the living room. exist.
He glanced around the yard and saw no one, so he quickly asked, "Auntie, where are my grandparents and the others."
"They said they wanted to catch chickens, and it seems like they've been there for a while."
Quan Shengli looked up. Looking at the clock on the wall, there is also some doubts.
Catch chickens...
Qu Zhongsu stood up and said to Quan Shengli, "They can't catch those chickens." After speaking, he turned around and ran to the backyard.
When he came back, he clearly didn't see the three in the backyard. He must have chased the chicken up the mountain.
Xia Lima understood what Qu Zhong meant, and after he left, he quickly explained to the rest of the group: "The chickens in the bamboo forest are flying too fast, and they even peck people. Qu Zhong is afraid that some elders will be injured.
" Oops, why did I forget about this, I'll take a look too."
In addition to the dogs that can chase the chickens at home, only Qu Zhong can barely catch them. Others who approach rashly might be pecked by the roosters.
Thinking of Zhang Chaoyang's bad legs, Quan Shengli was also a little anxious, stood up and walked outside.
Unexpectedly, Wu Song also stood up and patted him cheerfully: "I'm going to see why the chicken is so good."
He even offered to see it, so the other people definitely couldn't continue to sit here, and a group of people followed Qu. Zhong went out the door behind him.
Qu Zhong ran to the bamboo forest and saw no one, so he immediately called out Hanako and went into the mountain to find them.
Just as Wu Song and the others walked to the back door, several figures passed by them at such a fast speed that they could only see that the colors of the figures were black and white.
"What is that?" Wu Song asked.
"It's a dog raised by Qu Zhong." Quan Shengli replied, and couldn't help but feel worried, but considering the presence of the guests, he didn't have to step up and catch up.
Lu Juncai didn't care about the number of them, he shook Xiazhou's arm loudly: "There must be an accident, Hanako and the others only run so fast when there is an accident in the mountains."
Xiazhou also felt that something was wrong, and rushed forward with big strides. go.
Seeing this, Lu Jun was busy and anxious to keep up. The rest of the people began to feel a little worried, and could not help but speed up their pace.
Qu Zhong went to the warehouse to ride a motorcycle, and soon went to the No. 3 hill. After a circle, he found that there was no one, so he hurriedly turned to the No. 4 hill.
Hanako finally sent a message to Qu Zhong, and they found the three people at the junction of No. 4 and No. 5 hills.
When Qu Zhong arrived, the three were sitting on the ground, with the Hanako family sitting beside him, watching Qu Zhong hurriedly raising his head and calling out "woohoo".
The three of them were covered in mud, and they were all embarrassed.
"Are you injured?" The
three of them were all sitting, the back of Duan Weiguo's hand was still bruised, and Zhang Chaoyang's face had a thin cut.
"Your grandfather's foot was stabbed, my waist was twisted, and your aunt fell." Zhang Chaohong stomped her waist and gave Qu Zhong a general description of their situation.
Qu Zhong's guess was right, the chickens had been chased for too long, and they all fled into the valley after being frightened.
The Hanako family has all been hiding in the house since the park closed, and Zhang Chaohong's follower happened to follow the Lingmo dog up the mountain today.
For a time, the three of them couldn't even find a helper.
Just running and stopping like this, they unknowingly chased the chicken into the No. 4 hill.
Originally, the three of them planned to give up, but suddenly they saw someone running in the distance.
They were worried that a thief had entered the orchard, so they picked up the branches and ran after the figure.
But where did the three old people run fast, the three of them chased and chased and soon lost, and they stopped and walked to this place unknowingly.
After waiting for a long time, no one came out. Duan Weiguo wanted sister Zhang Chaohong to go back and find someone to stay here and wait.
But a few screams suddenly came from the top of the No. 5 hill, which startled Duan Weiguo.
Because he didn't pay attention when he stepped back, he stepped directly into a pit dug by someone who didn't know who dug his foot and twisted his foot. He couldn't climb up from the pit at all. Zhang Chaohong, who was pulling him because he was worried, not only didn't pull him up, but he also flashed away. The waist fell into the pit.
Zhang Chaoyang was going to help Zhang Chaohong again, and he was going to pull Duan Weiguo, and the three of them tossed in the pit for a while.
Speaking of the pit, Zhang Chaoyang rubbed his arm and asked Qu Zhong: "What are you doing digging a pit there?"
Not far from the few people, he saw a deep pit as high as Qu Zhong's waist, and the bottom of the pit was still there. Some turf and dirt for camouflage.
Qu Zhong retracted his gaze, squatted down and checked the injuries of the next few people.
Duan Weiguo's right foot was sprained, and there were no major problems with the bones and ligaments, while Zhang Chaohong's waist was twisted, and Qu Zhong was able to walk after a few massages.
The wound on Zhang Chaoyang's face was scratched by a branch at the bottom of the pit. Except for some loss of strength, there was no injury elsewhere.
The reason why the three of them have been sitting on the ground is also because they have been running after seeing the figure just now.
Fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured, which made Qu Zhong's frown slightly loosen.
He turned around and walked towards the pit again, the coldness in his eyes gradually spreading.
"Hanako, let the non-mainstream find out the people who broke in."
Hanako was already blaming herself. These are the only two relatives of the master in the world. It is a fault for them not to protect them. Qu Zhong's order, A few rushed into the woods almost in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, due to the nourishment of Yaoquan and his occasional medicinal pills, Duan Weiguo and the others have achieved many times better physical fitness than ordinary elderly people.
If it was someone else, falling into this pit would definitely break a bone.
Judging by the color of the hay covered in this hole, it is estimated that it has been dug for a long time. It should have been dug when they went to the Tutu Village.
It's also his fault that he didn't turn around when he came back.
Fortunately, there were no sharp weapons like animal traps in the pit, otherwise he wouldn't use the word "pull" now.
"Grandpa, I'll carry you to the car to rest first."
Qu Zhong helped the three of them into the car, and was about to call Xia Zhou and ask him to come pick him up when the roar of motorcycles on the road was already coming in this direction. .
"Qu Zhong!"
As soon as the car stopped, Xia Zhou and Lu Jun jumped out of the car, and before Quan Shengli, who was sitting in the car, asked anxiously, "What's wrong, I'm really injured. Is it?"
"Grandpa and the others fell into the pit."
Qu Zhong pointed to the deep pit that reached his waist, his face gloomy as if water was about to drip.
This was the first time everyone saw Qu Zhong's expression like this. The coldness overflowed from the corner of his eyes, as if the surrounding trees would freeze in the next second.
Wu Song, who had been silent for a long time, only now began to face the young man squarely.
He has a calmness that other young people don't have, and has been hiding his true temperament, only showing kindness and kindness.
Just as Qu Zhong's eyes brushed past, even Wu Song, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, could not help but take a deep breath.
... This young man is by no means a thing in the pool.
As soon as Lu Jun approached the deep pit, he immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Who dug the pit here?"
"I guess we will know soon." deep forest.
News from Hanako, people have been caught!
