Chapter 745 Persimmon March (34)

*Chapter 4 is later.

"Little Huzi brother, little lion brother, and baby sister."

Angel took out three purse-like things and put them on for her younger siblings.

The "pouches" are in the shape of a tiger, a lion and a bunny, corresponding to the three little guys.

The cartoon image is very cute, making the three little guys lying on the sofa spitting bubbles clumsily fiddle with them. The three pairs of big eyes are full of curiosity.

"Well, the brothers and sisters all have small flower baskets!" Angel clapped her little hands happily, then turned and ran to the kitchen.

Oh, it turns out that this purse-like thing is a small flower basket!

Qin Yi and the others looked at each other, and they were all amused. Is this the gift that the eldest sister, Angel, bought for her younger brothers and sisters?
Take a closer look, the three small flower baskets are all woven with deerskin. There is a cowhide rope at the mouth, like an ancient money bag, which can tighten and open the mouth. The stomach is hollow, and some small flowers can be placed inside. stuff.

It's just that I'm going to pick persimmons in the woods today. How many persimmons can such a flower basket hold? One?
Up to two!

Everyone pursed their lips and laughed lightly, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Could it be that the little guys were still expected to help pick the persimmons?
It's enough to make the little ones happy. From this point of view, the three little flower baskets that Angel bought on the way home from school are pretty good.

Qin Yi and the others chatted with the little ones in the living room, and Angel ran out of the kitchen again, holding a large rattan fruit basket, which was filled with ice cream, snacks, fruits, juices, etc.

Everything she likes to eat!

"Wow, Angel is going on a field vacation? I brought so many things! But if we pick the persimmons, where will we put them?"

Susa covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed, pretending to be surprised and asked, which was a bit exaggerated, but she was just teasing the little girl.

Angel was about to go back, but was preempted by Ke Luo: "I guess Angel must not like to eat persimmons! Well, we don't have to share the persimmons with Angel, it seems that we have to bring another bamboo basket for comparison." good!"

"I like it, people also like persimmons!"

Angel rushed over, stuffed the fruit basket full of things into Qin Yi's arms, and then rushed over again, lying on Ke Luo's lap, shaking her little buttocks, tilting her head up, and pouted in dissatisfaction .

"Ke Luo's mother likes to tease people. The delicious food they bring can be eaten up, so it will be empty, and you can bring back a lot of persimmons!"

Speaking of this, the little girl thought of something else again, she turned her head and looked at Qin Yi without caring about getting angry.

"Dad, are the persimmon cakes really delicious? Grandma said it was delicious! There are also fried persimmons. If I dry it, I can save it for winter!"

When it comes to delicious food, the little girl is always in good spirits!

At this moment, she was asking expectantly, while counting with her little fingers, all she could think about was the little red lanterns, which were beautiful and delicious!

The greedy appearance made Qin Yi and the others laugh.

Rachel also deliberately teased her: "But Angel, how much do you plan to share with us after drying the persimmon cakes? We have already picked persimmons for you, and we are adults, so we must share a lot to be full!"

Originally, the little girl was willing to give some to her parents, but when Rachel said that she would share a lot, she suddenly became undecided.

This is a lot, how much is it?

The little girl blinked her big eyes and pretended to be innocent: "But... she has grown up, and she has to eat a lot!"

While talking, she also tried her best to straighten her little belly, as if to prove that her little belly needs a lot of food to feed it!
The girls waited for someone to cover their mouths and laugh, the snack food in the family is so smart, no one should try to grab food from her!

Qin Yi also laughed, casually picked up a black-skinned grape from the fruit basket in his arms, threw it high like a bean, and then caught it with his mouth, chewing it very happily.

Angel hurried over, took the fruit basket back and held it in her arms, as if she was afraid that Qin Yi would finish eating secretly, she mumbled, "Dad, Dad! They didn't prepare much for eating in the woods!"

Qin Yi rubbed her little head, and laughed: "Okay, let's pick all the persimmons in the woods and spread them all over the lawn. After they are dried, Angel will share half among herself, and parents and grandparents will share the rest. The next half! Okay?"

The little girl's eyes were full of little stars, and her little mind imagined that the whole lawn was covered with red persimmons. What is it like?

Wow, it sure looks pretty, and, more than enough to eat all winter long!
maybe we can ask sister becky to eat with me
The little girl turned her head, and mentioned Sister Betsy, and she looked at the sofa again. The younger brothers and sisters were playing with toys, babbling, remembering that they couldn't eat yet, so she felt so pitiful for them!
"Okay! Maybe I can't eat half of it, but I can keep it. If you want to eat more, you can find me, and I will leave some for my younger brothers and sisters. They can eat it next year." Eat it with me!"

Qin Yi pointed at her fleshy little face with his fingers, laughed, and led everyone out, and took a helicopter to fly to the grove at the foot of the Rocky Mountain.

Today is Friday, and Angel leaves school early, but after a while at home, the time is almost four o'clock in the afternoon, so it is necessary to hurry up.

It got dark earlier in the mountains, and the time left for them to pick persimmons was less than two hours.

After the helicopter flew for half an hour, everyone came to the ground.

This is a wild persimmon forest with dozens of persimmon trees.

Late October is also the season for a large number of persimmons to ripen. Small orange-red persimmons are hung among the treetops and branches with half-bare leaves, like red lanterns, exuding a festive atmosphere!
And to be honest, seeing these countless persimmons is indeed full of harvest joy!
There is a faint sweet smell of persimmons in the forest. This is because there are many fallen persimmons on the ground. Some are intact, but most of them are rotten, with signs of pecking and gnawing.

It seems that before the family arrived, there were already many visitors here.

Those who jumped off the helicopter with Qin Yi's family were Black Rice and Wheat.

The other animals were not allowed to follow. After all, the space and load of the helicopter were limited, so it was natural to choose these two animals that would help the most in the wild.

Black rice and wheat strolled around, sniffing around, urinating and marking their territory from time to time, but they didn't pay much attention to the sweet persimmons on the ground.

Qin Yi didn't care about them either. There were two slings on his chest and one on his back. The three little guys sat in them, and he took care of them all. As for Susa and the others, they had already taken Angel to pick persimmons!
Hey, the big and small family members have all become lunatics!
Qin Yi walked back and forth slowly, and the little ones in his arms were only looking at the scenery curiously, not crying or making trouble, which made him feel more relaxed.

And the girls didn't care about everything, they jumped over from time to time, made funny faces, twisted their bodies and danced strange dances, making the little ones giggle.

Ke Luo and Amanda are the best movers. The job of picking persimmons is theirs. Each of the two women has a pair of long-handled garden scissors, which are cut one at a time. The persimmons fall directly into the small cloth bag on the handle, which is very convenient.

From time to time, I also cut off a small branch, with a bunch of more than a dozen ripe persimmons on it, which were caught by Susa and the others, and cut off one by one with scissors.
Busy, eating a persimmon from time to time, the corners of the mouth are red, all of them have become little cats!
After more than half an hour, a small vegetable basket was full. I didn't dare to use a big basket, otherwise the persimmons would be easily crushed if they were stacked together.

During the period, it may be that the little squirrel ran out to make trouble because Qin Yi's family had robbed them of their food.

A dozen or so little squirrels stood in a row on the branch, gnawed on a persimmon for a while, then bit off the fruit stem with their big teeth, and then threw them at Qin Yi and the others with a chirp!
Angel was very dissatisfied, she picked up the persimmons on the ground and threw them at the squirrels, it was like a persimmon fight!
