After Lu Ping returned home, he told his parents that he was going to pick oranges at his classmate's house on Saturday.Lu's mother thought that she couldn't let her son go there empty-handed, what would it look like to eat and take with him?

Anyway, all kinds of rice noodles are ready-made at home, so Mother Lu decided to ask her son to bring some orange cakes as souvenirs.

Orange Cake is Lu Ping's favorite snack since childhood, and it is also known as the Three Treasures of the Chinese New Year along with oiled dates and fried rice candy.It's a pity that orange cakes are not like other snacks that can be stored for a long time, so they can only be eaten and made now.

Every time Lu's mother made orange cakes, Lu Ping would lie at the counter and watch, and he learned it by ear.

As the name suggests, orange cake must have "oranges" in it.He took out the tangerine peel dried last year from the airtight jar, chopped it into pieces, mixed it with glutinous rice flour, ordinary flour, sugar, and an appropriate amount of water, stirred it evenly, and steamed it in a steam pot on low heat for 10 minutes.

The steamed dough has strong ductility, and red yeast rice is added to make the whole dough appear orange.Lu Ping kneaded the dough into strips while it was hot, and then cut it into small pieces the size of a fingernail. Mother Lu took out the cooked glutinous rice flour, rolled the sticky little dough in a circle, and let them stick to the whole body. Glutinous rice flour - tart ~ a simple and delicious orange cake is ready!

On the plate, there were piles of rice cakes as small as jellybeans, and Lu Ping couldn't resist eating one. It was soft and glutinous, with a faint sour taste of tangerine peel spreading on the tip of the tongue. It was my favorite taste when I was a child!

In addition to the most traditional flavor, Lu Ping also made a sandwich with a slightly more complicated process. The sandwich was mixed with mint paste, which is refreshing and refreshing in the mouth, and it is also a taste that young people like.

Lu Ping packed it in a small box, and went to the stationery store at the alley to buy two pieces of gift paper. After decorating it like this, it was considered a handy little gift.

After An An learned that her brother was going to pick oranges, she was envious, and looked at her brother eagerly, wanting to be his follower.

Lu Ping comforted her: "An'an, this time my brother is going with his classmates, so it's inconvenient to take you."

"Brother, I always feel that you don't love me anymore." An An pouted, and the golden beans were about to fall off at any time, "You used to stay with me at home every weekend, but you have changed now. When it comes to Saturday and Sunday No one in sight! How long has it been since you dictated English words to me, and how long has it been since you told me a bedtime story? Every time you ask what you are doing, you always say that you are going to find brother Shen, but you are My brother, not his brother!"

Lu Ping: "..."

He was very guilty.

An An is right, since he met Shen Yuze, he has been with each other almost every weekend.In this way, he spent more time with Shen Yuze than with his own family.

Lu Ping hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "Didn't my brother go out with Shen Yuze this time! This time it was another classmate!"

An An blinked: "Is it another brother?"

Lu Ping shook his head: "It's not my brother, it's my sister—my new deskmate, named Chen Miaomiao, I have a chance to introduce you."

"!!!" An An's eyes lit up, she turned around and ran to the kitchen: "Dad, my brother is going to play with his female classmate tomorrow!!"

"Little ancestor!" Lu Ping hurried over to cover his sister's mouth, begging for mercy, "Don't talk nonsense, can you? She and I are just ordinary classmates! Besides, there are many other classmates tomorrow, not just the two of us!"

An An: "It's okay if I don't say anything, but when you come back tomorrow, you have to bring a gift for An An!"

Lu Ping laughed angrily, it turned out that this little clever ghost was waiting for him here: "What gift do you want?"

He was already ready to use his small treasury for his sister's lion. Unexpectedly, An An said, "Then...then I will touch the first orange on my brother's head."

Lu Ping: "???"

What a strange gift.

However, this request was not difficult to fulfill, and Lu Ping readily agreed.

……

Early the next morning, Lu Ping accompanied his parents to finish the market, hurriedly picked up his bag and boarded the bus to Yongquan Mountain.Yongquan Mountain is located in the suburban county on the north bank. Starting from Lu Ping's house, you can reach it in about 40 minutes along the river's bank line to the west.

Now is the season when Yongquan tangerines are on the market, and along the road there are villagers with burdens selling fresh oranges.

After four or ten minutes of staggering in the car, Lu Ping arrived at the town where Yongquan Mountain was located.

There are many mountains in this province, and the hills here are continuous, and the hills are the orchards, and all kinds of farmhouses are very prosperous.

Lu Ping came directly from the north bank, and arrived earlier than the others. He waited for a while, and finally the large army from the south bank arrived.

Chen Miaomiao's father specially dispatched a minibus to take the children off. The door opened, and Chen Miaomiao got out of the car with her head held high and a group of female soldiers.Today is her home stadium, she is like a star, she is dressed like a little peacock from head to toe, even the hair tie has a huge famous brand LOGO.However, everyone has long been used to her daily Versailles, so they don't think her outfit today is abrupt.

The team behind her was mostly girls, and there were five girls from Class [-] and [-] of Senior High School, all of whom had a good time with her on weekdays.In addition, there are three strangers, who should be the elementary school and junior high school classmates she mentioned yesterday.What surprised Lu Ping the most was that he actually saw Meng Xin in the crowd!

Lu Ping greeted her: "Senior Meng, are you here too?"

Meng Xin was also very happy to see him.It turned out that she and Chen Miaomiao met at the previous speech contest. After the competition that day, Chen Miaomiao had a bout of bull syndrome and ran to ask for Meng Xin's contact information. We are familiar with each other, so Chen Miaomiao also invited senior sister Meng Xin to pick them this time.

It wasn't until then that Lu Ping realized that he was the only boy in this picking activity!Chen Miaomiao called all girls. He originally thought that through Chen Miaomiao, he could meet some other boys of the same age, but he didn't expect that he fell into the country of daughters.

Zhou Yue, Chen Miaomiao's best friend, also participated in the picking activity. Zhou Yue looked at his watch and asked, "Miaomiao, it's almost two o'clock now. Are we going up the mountain? Otherwise, the sun will set and we won't Great for taking pictures."

Chen Miaomiao: "Wait a little longer, there is still one person missing. He called me just now and said that there is a traffic jam and he will be late for a few minutes."

"Anyone else? Who is it?" Zhou Yue asked curiously.

Chen Miaomiao played tricks: "Who can't tell you, this is a surprise!"

Zhou Yue: "Even if you don't say who it is, tell us whether it's a man or a woman." She glanced at Lu Ping, then quickly looked away, and whispered, "I hope there will be another boy. How much strength."

Lu Ping was helpless: "...Hey, I can hear you."

Chen Miaomiao rolled her eyes: "It's a boy."

"Is it also in our class?"

"Hey, you have too many questions, you will know when he comes!" Chen Miaomiao continued to tease, "Anyway, I will never let you down!"

Hearing Chen Miaomiao's words, Lu Ping was curious.Which boy will she ask to pick together? The boys and girls in the class have always been distinct, each with its own small team. It seems that only the monitor has a better relationship with Chen Miaomiao... So the boy Chen Miaomiao mentioned is the monitor? ?

The relationship between Lu Ping and the squad leader is not good, and there were some quarrels before.Lu Ping silently prayed in his heart: Don't be the squad leader, don't be the squad leader, Xinnan is willing to eat meat and vegetables all his life, and don't let the squad leader appear to spoil his good mood of picking tangerines!

God really heard Lu Ping's prayer - 10 minutes later, a magnificent Cayenne car appeared at the end of the road, gradually approaching their direction, and finally parked in front of them.

Lu Ping: "..."

etc!Why does that car look like Shen Yuze's car, why does the driver look like Shen Yuze's driver, why even the boy who got off the car looks like Shen Yuze Benz! ! !

Lu Ping turned his head in a daze, and asked Meng Xin beside him for help: "Sister, pinch me and let me see if I'm dreaming."

Meng Xin was baffled by his request: "Lu Ping, what's wrong with you?...Ah, did you see that Shen Yuze was also wearing a sportswear, did you feel that you were being compared and felt a sense of crisis?"

In order to facilitate the picking activities on the mountain, Lu Ping searched through boxes and cabinets today and found a set of sportswear.This set of sportswear was bought when he participated in the school sports meeting in his first year of high school. At that time, he thought he could grow taller, so he specially bought a size up. Who would have thought that since that day, his height has remained at 1.7 meters five and has not moved. up.The tracksuit was gray and he looked like a listless sparrow in it.

Today's Shen Yuze changed his previous high-cold route, and actually wore a sportswear. Not only that, he also used a little hairspray to gently pull his hair back, revealing a smooth forehead and sharp and handsome features.Today's Shen Yuze is completely different from him in school. As soon as he got out of the car, all the girls' eyes were glued to him.

Only Lu Ping was so distraught that he wished he could find a place to hide.When he saw Shen Yuze now, he couldn't help but think of all the things that happened in the warehouse... His heart that had finally calmed down became chaotic again.

He complained in a low voice: "Why didn't Chen Miaomiao say anything, she called Shen Yuze!"

If he had known earlier, he would never have come here to make any "new friends".

His words were overheard by Meng Xin beside him, and Meng Xin said hesitantly, "That...it wasn't Chen Miaomiao who called him, but I called him."

"Eh???"

"Shen Yuze called me last night to ask me about something. He couldn't explain clearly in a few words on the phone. He asked me if I was free today and wanted to invite me to the library to talk slowly. I told him that I would come to Chung today. Spring picking oranges." Meng Xin recounted what happened yesterday, "I said: 'If you are in a hurry, you can come to Yongquan together, let's talk while picking'." At first he refused, but then I said you Yes, he changed his mind."

Lu Ping: "……………Sister, thank you so much."

Meng Xin: "Because of me, the four seasons are slightly warmer?"

Lu Ping was about to cry.

This is more than just warming the four seasons, it's like putting Lu Ping on the fire!

……

The orchard of Chen Miaomiao's family is on a small hill next to Yongquan Mountain. Orange trees are planted all over the mountain. From a distance, the trees are full of orange-red fruits, like small lanterns hanging on the branches.Father Chen loved his daughter very much, and named the orchard "Miaomiaowu Orchard". Chen Miaomiao said that every time she came to the orchard, she could announce loudly: "Miaomiao is home!"

Lu Ping: What kind of rotten meme is this?.jpg

The person in charge of receiving them is the forester of Miaomiaowu Orchard. The mountain road is so steep that cars cannot drive up it, so they have to stop at the bottom of the mountain and walk up with two feet.A group of ten girls and two boys walked up the mountain along the path. Lu Ping and Chen Miaomiao walked together, deliberately keeping a distance from Shen Yuze. Unexpectedly, Shen Yuze did not catch up, but went with Meng Xin. Let's go, the two of them are exchanging something in a low voice.

While climbing the mountain, Chen Miaomiao winked at Lu Ping and said in a low voice, "Lu Ping, look, Shen Yuze is talking to Senior Sister Meng. They've been talking all the way, what's worth talking about for so long?"

In fact, Lu Ping was almost overflowing with curiosity, but he pretended not to care, and said, "Maybe it's about the speech contest..."

"The speech contest is over, what else can I do?" Chen Miaomiao asked gossipingly, worthy of her "good name" for her trumpet, "Besides, they have a third year in high school and a sophomore in high school, and they are in different grades. Lu Ping, what do you think?" Will Shen Yuze treat Sister Meng—"

"—Impossible!" Lu Ping gave the answer immediately before listening to her question.

Chen Miaomiao: "I haven't finished my question yet!"

Lu Ping said righteously: "No matter what questions you want to ask, I can tell you that Shen Yuze is not the person you imagined."

"Oh?" Chen Miaomiao rolled her eyes and asked, "Then what kind of person is he?"

"..." Lu Ping's mouth was glued again.

Chen Miaomiao thought this was too boring, there must be some big secret hidden between Lu Ping and Shen Yuze!She has always been impatient. She has to watch the finale first when watching dramas, know who the murderer is in advance when reading mystery novels, and even look up the answers to the questions... So where are the answers of Lu Ping and Shen Yuze? She can't wait to find out. Turn to the last page of this book!

After more than ten minutes of climbing and stopping, they finally came to the gate of the orchard. Miaomiaowu Orchard is a small orchard with only about ten acres of land surrounded by barbed wire. Seventy to eighty fruit trees can be planted per mu. , On each branch, exquisite and lovely oranges are crowded together, and they are full of festive colors as far as the eye can see.

The sweetness of Yongquan tangerine is extremely high, reaching over 14 degrees, and unlike other oranges that have a bitter white meridian, the juice overflows after one bite, and there is no "scum" feeling at all.After eating Yongquan tangerines and eating oranges from other places, you will always feel that the taste is not good.

When seeing those familiar orange fruits, the students were very excited and couldn't wait to rush to the fruit trees to pick them.

Chen Miaomiao stopped everyone: "Wait, let's take a photo together first! The light will be bad for a while, and the photos taken will not look good!"

This proposal was approved by all the girls with both hands.

Zhou Yue said: "The tall ones stand in the middle, and the short ones stand on the sides, so that the team is neat and the photos look good."

The tall one standing in the middle?

When Lu Ping heard this, he thought absolutely impossible: He and Shen Yuze are the tallest people, let them stand in the middle?Lu Ping felt that if he really stood beside Shen Yuze, he might not be able to laugh...

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "How about a dozen of us, how can we stand in one row? Let's stand in two rows. And don't let tall people stand in the middle. Today we came to Miaomiao's house, of course Miaomiao has to stand in the middle!" "

Under his advice, in the end, twelve people lined up in two rows, Chen Miaomiao was pushed to position C, and Lu Ping and Shen Yuze stood on both sides of the second row, one on the left and one on the right, with several people in between.

Shen Yuze looked at the distance between himself and Lu Ping, did not speak, but raised his eyebrows at him to express doubts.

Lu Ping began to pretend to be "little deaf and blind" again, and turned to ask the forest guard grandpa to take pictures for them.

The forest guard shouted slogans: "I'm going to line up! Three, two—wait, can the two boys have a smile? Don't be so serious!"

Lu Ping: "...OK."

Shen Yuze: "Yes."

The forest guard: "Smile more sincerely, it's too forced now!"

Lu Ping bared out his eight teeth, and Shen Yuze raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

What the forest guard wanted to say, Lu Ping couldn't take it anymore, and while maintaining a smile with eight teeth, he urged: "Grandpa, take a snapshot, if you don't take a picture of my face, you will die from laughing!"

So the forest guard could only temporarily extinguish the heart of a photographer, and regarded himself as a ruthless shutter-pressing machine, clicking the shutter several times in succession.

The photo was taken with Chen Miaomiao's mobile phone. After the photo was taken, Chen Miaomiao had the priority to post pictures. After she finished posting, she passed the mobile phone to the next girl.

Lu Ping watched the girls use the photoshoot software one after another as if they were beating drums and passing flowers. He didn't even see how they operated it clearly. It seemed that they just poked with their fingers, and then combined with the movements of zooming in and out with two fingers, a photo was finished. !

Closed eyes can be opened, crooked smiles can be straightened, pimples on the face can be smoothed... Even the garbage at the feet and the leftover milk tea cup in the hand disappear!

Lu Ping: "Is this magic?!"

The girl in the last P picture is Meng Xin. Her face and figure are perfect. Lu Ping thought she didn't need to make any changes, but he didn't expect that she would call out the brush tool and fill in the hairy hairline for herself with bare hands. !

Noticing Lu Ping's gaze, Meng Xin replied calmly: "Recently, the schoolwork is too heavy, and my hair has fallen out a lot, so I can only prom in the later stage." She handed the phone to Lu Ping, "I'm done prodding, it's up to you."

Lu Ping: "Me?" He hurriedly waved his hand, "Boys don't need P, you can use P."

Meng Xin hesitated to speak: "...Are you sure? In this photo, you and Shen Yuze look thoughtless and unhappy."

Lu Ping: "???"

He looked down, and sure enough, in this group photo of 12 people, Lu Ping smiled awkwardly, with eight teeth shining brightly, as silly as he could be; while Shen Yuze's face was unhappy, and the corners of his mouth had almost no curvature. .

Their atmosphere in the whole photo is so out of tune with the others, it's immediately obvious that something is wrong.

Lu Ping thought, how about taking another group photo?But when he thought about how hard the girls had taken turns to post pictures just now, he was embarrassed to bother them to post pictures again on the new photos.

Lu Ping: "Uh, otherwise, P out of the photo of me and Shen Yuze."

"The computer can do it, but the mobile phone software can't." Meng Xin shook his head.

Just when Lu Ping was thinking about the solution, Shen Yuze, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Should it be possible to cover it with stickers? Just cover my face and his face."

"That's right!" Meng Xin said, "This is indeed a solution, as long as you cover your face, you don't need to use P, once and for all! - What stickers do you want to use? Let me see, there are cartoon villains, football stars, and There are comic characters…”

Shen Yuze: "Are there any small animals?"

"What animal do you want?"

Shen Yuze's eyes lightly flicked across Lu Ping's body: "Cat and mouse."

Lu Ping: "..."

He felt that the cat and mouse Shen Yuze was talking about must not be Jerry the smart mouse and Tom the stupid cat!
