Lin Zhengqing

Chapter 25 Picking Persimmons

25.

Without Bai Haoyu as a stumbling block, his journey would have been much smoother.But Bai Haoyu has always been persistent, standing in front of him unswervingly, trying to interfere in everything.

He had to doubt his intentions.

"Where am I blocking you? What am I blocking you?"

Isn't this chicken eating fireflies, do you know it well?I also asked him, does he have to be told?

"You have to speak according to your conscience!" Du Wenjie said indignantly.

Bai Haoyu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, why did you come here?"

Du Wenjie has been living here for almost a week, so it's time to tell them why.

"Actually, it's okay to tell you guys," not to mention because I feel ashamed, but now that I've come to this place where birds don't lay eggs, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Du Wenjie thought for a while and said, "Didn't my dad let me manage his company after I graduated? It's been less than a year now. I'm incapable and almost made the whole company lose money. I kicked it out and went back to clean up the mess by myself, saying that I didn’t want to see me in the near future. All my friends there knew about it, so I thought of coming here.”

"What good thing have you done?" How come he didn't know anything about such a big thing.

"I believed in the wrong person, and signed a contract that will not be changed." Du Wenjie sighed and said, "You can call your brother and ask about this matter, he knows everything."

"So you're hiding?"

"Yeah." Du Wenjie was very depressed: "I planned to hide at first, but I didn't expect you to take care of the vineyard so well, which made me feel even more useless."

Bai Haoyu smiled unkindly, and said, "There is no harm without comparison."

Who is better than whom, only God knows.

"Bai Haoyu, you are becoming more and more heartless."

Bai Haoyu sighed and said, "It's not like you don't know how we live every day. After you came here, you complained of suffering and tiredness every day. We've been doing this for a whole year. Now the vineyard is still losing money. Who has no conscience? ?”

What can you say about someone who went back after graduation and took over the family business?

Du Wenjie sighed, and said: "I know, sometimes it's good to just live like this, life is fulfilling." I just don't know if his father will chase him with a stick.

"According to you, the reason why you came here was not for Zhengqing?"

"Don't you know who I am?"

"Two birds with one stone?" Bai Haoyu was suspicious.

Du Wenjie smiled, indeed.

"Then how long are you going to stay?"

"I don't know, my dad is still angry and won't consider going back for now."

"Okay." Bai Haoyu stood up and said, "I'll go in and have a look."

"Wait," Du Wenjie stood in front of him and said, "You haven't told me yet, why are you stopping me everywhere?" Changing the subject didn't work for him.

"I do not have."

Bai Haoyu left after speaking.

No?There are no ghosts.

Du Wenjie was angry.Pretend, you continue to pretend.

When going to bed at night, it was rare that Bai Haoyu suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep.Lin Zhengqing looked at him with wide eyes helplessly, and said, "Haoyu, what's wrong with you?"

"Insomnia."

Lin Zhengqing scratched his head and said, "Then you, actually, I don't know what to do." Or you should continue to suffer from insomnia...

He often suffers from insomnia, but there is nothing he can do about it. Maybe he will be able to fall back asleep when he is tired from tossing around and feels sleepy.

Bai Haoyu turned around, looked at him with open eyes in the dark and said, "Don't you ask me why I have insomnia?"

"It doesn't matter what the reason is. It's just insomnia anyway. Even if I know the reason, you still can't sleep, don't you?" Then it doesn't matter if he knows.

Makes sense.

"What if my insomnia is because of you?"

"Me?" Lin Zhengqing looked at him in surprise. "Did I do something?"

Did he really make him angry today?I originally planned to come back tonight to ask him, but I forgot about it when I came back, but Bai Haoyu has been normal since he came back.

"You and Du Wenjie are very close."

In fact, Bai Haoyu can understand why he is depressed about this matter and can't sleep. He just knows that he is unhappy and doesn't like to see them so close.In layman's terms, it is very uncomfortable.

"No," Lin Zhengqing thought about it seriously, and said, "Didn't you ask him to work with me?" Otherwise, Bai Haoyu agreed to live at home.

Isn't it normal for them to get along?How come it's so close?Bai Haoyu couldn't sleep because of this?

Bai Haoyu couldn't lie down, so he sat up, leaned cross-legged on the side of the bed, and said, "I've never seen you get so close to anyone."

The way they get along with Lin Zhicheng and Lin Zhigang is different. It is a pure brotherly friendship, but Du Wenjie doesn't want to be brothers with others.

Lin Zhengqing also sat up, and it felt strange to see him lying down, so he sat beside the wall with his legs crossed, and said, "I really don't understand what you're worrying about," Bai Haoyu used to only worry about the wine in the vineyard. troubles.

Bai Haoyu looked at Lin Zhengqing who was sitting beside him, and remained silent.

Lin Zhengqing looked at him sideways and said, "Haoyu, we are all friends, aren't we?"

Yeah?I always feel that something is wrong.

"Sleep, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow if you don't sleep."

Lin Zhengqing no longer sat with him, and lay down to sleep.

Bai Haoyu looked at the dark sky outside and lay down too.Looking at the person with his back to him, he hesitated for a moment, hugged him, and whispered in his ear: "Can I hold you?"

Lin Zhengqing turned around, raised his eyes and looked at him, without speaking.

Bai Haoyu fell asleep with his arms around him.

When Lin Zhengqing woke up in his arms the next day, he raised his eyes and looked fixedly at his face.It wasn't until he heard footsteps outside that he woke him up and said, "Haoyu, wake up, wake up."

Its daybreak.

When Lin Zhengqing pushed open the door, Du Wenjie was about to push the door in. Seeing him coming out, he grinned and said, "Morning, Bai Haoyu hasn't woken up yet?"

You see me getting up so early and praise me all over your face.

Lin Zhengqing smiled and said: "Get up, I guess it will come out in a while."

The morning sun is so beautiful!

A day of labor is always similar, the difference is that this evening, Uncle Kong in their garden asked several young people to help them pick a fruit.

Uncle Kong lives with his wife, and his children are gone, and they will come back to visit during the Chinese New Year.Those few old persimmon trees were planted very early, and they were reluctant to cut them down. Whenever the harvest season came, they asked the villagers to help pick them, and then distributed the fruits to the villagers.

Du Wenjie happily dragged Lin Zhengqing over, he liked these the most.

Bai Haoyu raised his foot and followed.Lin Zhicheng grabbed him and said, "Haoyu, where are you going?"

"Picking fruit?"

"What kind of fruit do you pick, and you can't climb trees?"

Bai Haoyu didn't speak, and pointed to Du Wenjie who was following Lin Zhengqing.Means he's gone, what are you still talking to me about?

Lin Zhigang also followed, every time he picked persimmons, he went there.

The fourth uncle smiled beside him and said, "Go, it's good to go and have a look."

Bai Haoyu smiled at him and said, "Yes, fourth uncle."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Lin Zhicheng to leave, saying: "What are you talking about, Lin Zhengqing and the others have already disappeared."

"What are you afraid of? I can walk the road to Uncle Kong's house with my eyes closed." Lin Zhicheng said, "I'm afraid you two will fall off. Climbing trees is no joke."

If you fall down and break an arm or leg, that's commonplace.If it is really injured, it will be in big trouble.

The persimmon trees Uncle Kong asked them to pick were the ones planted behind his yard.Red persimmons are hung all over the branches, which look very beautiful under the blue sky.

Because this is not a tree in the orchard, Uncle Kong didn't control its height very much, and it will be four or five meters high when it grows.It is said that at a higher point, it can grow to more than ten meters.

Lin Zhengqing carried a pannier on his back, and held a simple version of the pump in his hand.This is a tool for fruit picking.There is a circle around one end of the long stick with wire, and there is a net bag underneath, which is small.The wire is very hard and is used to hook persimmons.

Another tool is to tie a hook to one end of a long stick to hook off the persimmons directly, but this kind of tool requires someone to follow it, and two people need to cooperate.

This kind of tree has been around for several years, the trunk is very long and thick, but there are no side branches below, and laymen like them cannot climb up without relying on ladders.

Lin Zhigang moved a ladder from Uncle Kong's house and set it up beside a tree.

Now that there is a ladder, Lin Zhengqing did not climb up along the tree trunk, but chose to climb up with a ladder.Looking back at them, he said, "Be careful yourself, don't fall."

Bai Haoyu looked up at the tall persimmon tree, it was really tall.

In fact, it is okay for them to hook the persimmons under the trees, and there are many persimmons hanging on the low branches.It's just that it will be very tiring to keep your neck up, and you are afraid that some bugs or other things will fall into your eyes.

Du Wenjie followed Lin Zhengqing and climbed up.Bai Haoyu also wanted to climb, Lin Zhicheng grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?"

"Go up." Bai Haoyu said as a matter of course.

"No, you follow me to another tree."

"Why?" Bai Haoyu refused, and said, "Don't tell me such a big persimmon tree can't carry three people."

"It's hard to say. After all, you can take care of me if you follow me. Come on, Zhengqing can't take the two of you."

"Who asked him to take it."

"Come on." Lin Zhicheng dragged the person over.How to be like a child, this person is really hard to serve.

"You pulled me over without a ladder," Bai Haoyu didn't want to follow him.

Lin Zhicheng pointed to another ladder that Lin Zhigang moved out, and said, "Who said there isn't one?"

The two were chattering underneath, but Bai Haoyu was still pulled over.Lin Zhigang climbed another tree with another child from the village.

Du Wenjie climbed up after him, got off the ladder and stood on the branch, clumsily taking out his cigarette.

Lin Zhengqing reminded from above: "Be careful."

"Okay." Du Wenjie stretched out his hand and said, "Zhengqing, give me a hand."

Lin Zhengqing stretched out his hand to pull him, and said, "Are you going to climb up?"

"No, I'll stand still first."

Lin Zhicheng saw that Bai Haoyu had been looking there, stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, I'll pull you."

Bai Haoyu rolled his eyes at him, slapped his hands away, and said, "Who wants you to pull me?"

Lin Zhicheng didn't argue with him, and said, "Come on, I'll teach you how to use that pole."

"I know how to use it." Bai Haoyu said.

Isn't it just hooking fruit? What's the problem?

Bai Haoyu straightened his neck several times, tried several times, and finally understood the mystery.

Lin Zhicheng nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." Ruzi can be taught.

Over there, Du Wenjie said he didn't understand and asked Lin Zhengqing to teach him.Lin Zhengqing crawled to his side, found a branch to stand on, and taught him how to use it.

Bai Haoyu turned to the other side to pick persimmons, not seeing anything.

Lin Zhengqing and Lin Zhigang are obviously familiar hands, and their baskets will be full after a few clicks.

Bai Haoyu and Du Wenjie were slowly touching and filling up the basket. It was very heavy and it was easy to be dragged back.

Lin Zhicheng said: "Haoyu, give me the basket on your back, I'll go down."
