Chapter 2 Chapter 2

The three of them were companions, and they were similar in age. After getting along for more than half a month, they actually sighed that they hated seeing each other too late.Han Yuchao was two years older than Duan Qichen, and three years older than Yu Mengxi. He was from Huzhou, his parents had both passed away, and his family seemed to be in the silk business before, but he fell through the cracks and he was not good at business, so he wanted to try his hand at an official career.Yu Mengxi patted Han Yuchao on the shoulder, "With Yuchao's talents, he will definitely pass high school, so you can rest assured. We might as well enjoy the journey and enrich what we have seen in our life." Yu Mengxi has been loved by his family since he was a child, and he is also easy to make friends.He likes to donate money, and he has a good impression of Han Yuchao, so he pleases him in many ways.Everywhere you go, you can enjoy all kinds of local scenery, and spend a lot of money on food and accommodation. If you go to the best local inn, you should also have the best things for your personal use.Give Han Yuchao a copy of everything.At the beginning, Han Yuchao tried all kinds of excuses, but Yu Mengxi always used "Could it be that Yuchao despises me." This excuse was left to him.Duan Qichen jokingly said, "Mengxi, you and I have known each other for more than ten years, which is not as good as Brother Han's one-month acquaintance with you."

Yu Mengxi looked at his friend, "Qichen, you are so stingy. When I was young, I saw the glazed beads that Master Duan gave you and wanted to borrow them to play with. If you didn't give them to me, I secretly took them home to play, but you sued me directly. My father’s place. I was fined to kneel for two days. It’s just a glass bead, I still remember the smug expression on your face when you took back the glass bead.” Duan Qichen blushed suddenly, and replied unwillingly, “When I was young It’s just playing around, how do you remember it so clearly. You must be a narrow-minded person.” The two began to tell each other about their childhood.Completely forgetting Han Yuchao at the side, it was Duan Qichen who came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Han Yuchao, "Brother Han, Mengxi grew up with me, like my younger brother. You will laugh at the constant discord." Han Yuchao smiled in front of him. "The two of you are very affectionate, and Mengxi is childish and kind-hearted, really cute. Brother Duan, you have a brotherly demeanor, which makes Yuchao very envious." Yu Mengxi heard Han Yuchao's praise, His cheeks were blushing, and his eyes didn't know where to put them.

After seeing the mountain, we can go to the town in front of us. The sky suddenly darkened, and a few drops of rain fell intermittently. It might rain heavily.The three of them walked in a hurry and finally saw an abandoned ancestral hall. The sky was getting darker and darker. It seemed that they were going to spend the night in this ancestral hall today.

As soon as the fire was lit, there was a sound of brushing outside the eaves, and the rain was intertwined, and it was impossible to see the scenery within ten feet.The three of them ate dry food, took off their coats to dry, and only wore their inner coats.Yu Mengxi was trapped in this dilapidated ancestral hall and felt very bored. He was the one who didn't like to be quiet, so he wanted to find something to talk about, "Yuchao, what interesting things happened in your childhood? Or is there any strange news in your hometown?" Han Yuchao knew Yu Mengxi said with a chatty smile, "I didn't have any novelties in my childhood, but when I was young, I heard the old people tell about strange things that happened in the village." Yu Mengxi regained his energy and immediately moved his body to get close to Han Yuchao, and Duan Qichen also pricked up his ears with a curious expression .

Han Yuchao poked the fire, and the flames rose up immediately.He opened his mouth and said, "A countryman was selling pears in the market. The taste was very good but the price was very expensive. At this time, a Taoist priest came to ask the countryman for a pear, but the countryman refused to give it and cursed at the Taoist priest. People in the country persuaded the countryman to give up a broken pear and give it to the Taoist priest, so don't be angry. The countryman refused, saying that his car was good. A waiter in a roadside shop got impatient after being quarreled and went out. I bought one for the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest thanked me and said that monks should not be stingy, and now I have hundreds of pears here, and I would like to share them with everyone.”

Yu Mengxi interjected and asked, "Since the Taoist priest has pears, he can eat his own. Why bother to scold him here?"

Han Yuchao smiled and continued, "The Taoist said that the layman didn't know something, and the poor Taoist especially needed this pear as a seed. After eating the pear, he took off the small shovel on his shoulder, dug a small hole to bury the nucleus, and asked others They asked for hot water. Everyone laughed when they heard that, thinking that Taoist priests were crazy. Someone with good deeds went to a roadside shop to find a bowl of hot water. The Taoist priest took it, bowed and thanked him, and immediately poured it on the soil.”

Yu Mengxi said amusedly, "This Taoist priest is really interesting. Is it possible to start growing pears?" Han Yuchao nodded slightly, and continued, "The pear seller is also very curious. He wants to see what the Taoist priest wants to do. He almost forgot My own business. Suddenly, the buds burst out of the ground, and in a blink of an eye, they bloomed and bore fruit. The excellent pears hung on a tree, and the Taoist asked everyone to take them. Everyone asked the Taoist to plant again. The Taoist laughed and said that the pears would be gone after eating, saying He chopped down the tree with a small shovel, carried the branches and leaves on his shoulders, and walked away. When the crowd dispersed, the countryman turned around and saw that his cart of pears had disappeared. Rushing over to take a closer look, one of the handlebars was gone. I suddenly realized that the fairy pears that the Taoist asked everyone to pick were actually his own. Looking at the broken part of the handlebars, they were also freshly cut. The villagers were furious, and hurried to catch up , but the Taoist priest has long since disappeared, and there is no way to chase after him. When the people around saw this, they all burst into laughter and scattered away."

After hearing this, Yu Mengxi laughed and said, "This countryman deserves it, too stingy, it's nothing more than a pear. The Taoist priest can be regarded as a bad breath."

Duan Qichen interjected, "Although the countryman deserves it right, this Taoist priest is quite ruthless. He even destroyed the countryman's car." Just as he was speaking, he caught a glimpse of a stern look in Han Yuchao's eyes, and was startled. But it disappeared in an instant, and Han Yuchao's face was as usual, wondering if it was the fire that dazzled his eyes.

Wei Wei nodded towards Duan Qichen, "The countryman grows pears for his own living, and he puts all his heart and soul into it. Whether he wants to give it or not is voluntary. The Taoist priest failed to fulfill his wish, so he ruined his fortune for nearly a year, and even destroyed his car. Taoist priests have such personal grievances." Revenge, how can a countryman live without that car pear. Everyone around eats his pears, but no one helps him, and it is chilling to see him making jokes."

Yu Mengxi was a little surprised, he had never thought about this before, and only felt that every word Han Yuchao said made sense.Han Yuchao was so different from the people he met before, he could always point out his inappropriate thinking with a few words, and the admiration in his heart added a little bit. "Yuchao, it's Mengxi who made a slip of the tongue." Seeing Yu Mengxi being so obedient, Han Yuchao smiled slightly and said, "Mengxi just doesn't know too many trivial things in the world, and his mind is too simple."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, Grandpa Pu, I think it's very interesting to read your story about planting pears. O(∩_∩)O haha~
