The matter about the peaches is naturally not that simple.

Pick the ripe peaches from the backyard of the villa and put them in the refrigerator to store them. Stare at Pei Chuying and don’t let Yuan Xiaoyi eat them secretly.

Among everyone, the one Chen Zhengqian was most worried about was Yuan Xiaoyi. God knows when she would rush her mind and eat seven or eight peaches in one breath, so she would wait for her belly to explode.

Chen Zhengqian glared at Yuan Xiaoyi: "When I am not at home, I am not allowed to eat peaches. I am not responsible for any problems!"

God knows why he is so obsessed with peaches. Others think it’s almost done after eating one or two, and they won’t drool at the peach tree no matter how hard it is.

Only she, who carried a chair every day, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, looked at the fruits all over the trees, and her eyes shining.

Although she pestered Chen Zhengqian every day and wanted to eat peaches, Chen Zhengqian was impatient by her and asked her to eat cucumbers directly.

When Yuan Xiaoyi heard Chen Zhengqian warn him like this, he was furious: "You bastard, you don't recognize others when you lift your pants and want to be irresponsible. I misread you..."

Balabala said a lot, and Chen Zhengqian was so angry that his forehead was bulging with blue veins. He simply ignored her and let her yell alone there.

For the remaining peaches that are not yet ripe, let them stay on the tree for a while.

On the summer solstice, Chen Zhengqian went home specially.

For rural people, or people from Chen Zhengqian’s hometown, the summer solstice is a big festival, and its importance is similar to that of the winter solstice.

I have never heard of specific traditional festival activities, or have disappeared with time. The words that Lingnan people prefer "fish grows in the winter solstice, and dogs grow in the summer solstice", at least Chen Zhengqian and others have never heard of it.

On the contrary, some people like to eat dog meat on the Winter Solstice.

However, he doesn't eat dog meat either.

Another saying is to eat lychees in the summer solstice.

There are many fruits in Lingnan in summer, including lychee, longan, pineapple, mango, yellow skin, Sanhua plum, etc., and there are countless fruits.

What Chen Zhengqian likes the most is naturally lychee.

Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty had a famous line like "A concubine riding on the world of a man laughed, no one knew it was a lychee coming." Su Shi also wrote, "I ate 300 lychees a day and became a Lingnan person forever."

Lychee can be said to be one of the most representative fruits in Lingnan. However, if you eat too much lychee, you are prone to "lychee disease". Because lychee is warm and hot, eating too much will cause dry mouth and bad breath, sores in your mouth and tongue, and even nosebleeds.

This is what we often call easy to get angry.

The elderly all know that one lychee is three fires, so it is not suitable for children and the elderly to eat more.

Chen Zhengqian plans to plant some lychee seedlings in his resort. After two years, his family will be able to eat the lychees he grows.

But he did not come back this time for lychees.

In addition to going to worship God with his parents and having a reunion dinner for the family, he planned to pick peaches.

Pick all the ripe peaches on the peach tree, and then leave some of them to other people in the family, including grandparents, third uncles, third uncles, second uncles, second aunts, and cousins.

It is best to ensure that everyone has a share from the old to the young.

As for those who are not at home, Chen Zhengqian has no choice. Without a refrigerator, he probably won’t be able to stay for long.

"Mom, help me get a basket."

Chen Zhengqian brought a ladder and put it on a tree. When he climbed up, he remembered that he didn't bring a basket, so he quickly shouted to his mother.

My mother ran to the kitchen and took out a fiber basket, and asked his father to hand it to him: "Be careful."

She was watching her son climbing so high below, feeling frightened. She was a two-story peach tree, which was a little bit too careful, and if it was planted, it would be done.

"knew."

Chen Zhengqian was not worried at all. He took the basket and continued to climb up, climbing to the branch at the top of the peach tree. The branches on it could not support his weight, so he stopped.

Conservatively estimated that there are at least one hundred large peaches on this tree.

If it were exchanged for silver, it would have been more than 100 million oceans.

Unfortunately, most of them will be eaten after tonight.

However, Chen Zhengqian didn't feel much distressed. If one million can bring about the health of his relatives, he would be very happy.

What's more, this peach has the effect of prolonging life.

Start picking peaches

These peaches are all filled with small plastic bags. When Chen Zhengqian saw that they were ripe, he picked them off and put them in a basket.

The peaches on the top of the tree ripened early, probably because they were more lit, and most of them were already ripe. Chen Zhengqian picked them up, leaving two or three there.

Put down the basket with a hooked hemp rope, change it to an empty one, and continue picking it.

One morning, I picked more than 80 ripe peaches. Each one was the size of a fist, full shape and bright colors, and the whole family was happy to watch.

There was only a small half left hanging on the tree, scattered.

Chen Zhengqian couldn't help counting and found that in addition to the eighty-two peaches he picked, there were twenty-six on the tree, totaling one hundred and eight. I don't know if it was a coincidence, which surprised Chen Zhengqian.

After a few days, let my dad pick it up and get it done.

Chen Zhengqian already had a simple idea about how to divide these peaches.

The elderly and grandparents in the family, including the third uncle and the third uncle, are sixteen; the third generation of children, including the third uncle's two grandsons, are two, and the total number is sixteen.

In addition, there are two in the mother's family, including uncles, aunts, aunts and uncles, and two in each person, so they will also have to go to twenty-four, let alone those children.

Chen Zhengqian has a lot of cousins, and this is not the case with those who have been married and the fourth generation who have been born.

A little further away, those aunts and cousins, like cousins ​​Wu Yi and their family, would probably have to give them seven or eight.

In short, these more than 80 peaches are definitely not enough for the time being.

In addition, some people are not at home and go out to work, so Chen Zhengqian is powerless.

In the end, I had a headache, so I first divided my own side and reserved a part of it. Then, my parents were responsible for sending it to my mother's house.

Besides, there are more than twenty still on the tree.

Many relatives' families, the second generation is working outside, so they should be able to get it together. By next year, the peach trees will continue to bear fruit, so there is no need to worry about who will not be able to get a share.

These peaches have a great relationship, so Chen Zhengqian cannot help but worry.

Of course, Chen Zhengqian will definitely keep more of his own family. He is not a saint, and he will also have selfish intentions. He will leave the biggest and best ones to his parents.

If the part here is gone, he will bring it back from Yuezhou to his parents.

"Everyone is here to eat peaches!"

Chen Zhengqian was wearing flip flops, rolled half of his trousers onto his calves, carried the washed peaches, and walked to his grandmother's house and distributed the huge peaches to everyone.

One person, everyone has a share.

"Grandpa and grandma, eat peaches." Chen Zhengqian said with a smile.

"I'm old, my teeth are almost gone, so I can't eat them." Grandpa waved his hand and refused. Although this peach looks like something, it's always crisp and can't bite when he's old.

Chen Zhengqian did not allow him to refuse. He could only get better after eating peaches. He decisively stuffed his hands: "This is a variety I brought back, not ordinary peaches. Eating them is good for the body. Just eat one, and use a knife to cut it."

After much persuasion, he persuaded him to eat one.

The children were very happy. They took one of them and ate it with them. They had no snacks to eat on weekdays, but they rarely had fruits. You should know that the yellow fruit trees planted at home were all picked up by them with bamboo poles.

Chen Zhengqian did not explain the function of the peach, but everyone got one. At least after eating it, some minor physical problems will disappear, and there is no need to worry about colds and fevers.

Chen Yanqing was the first to experience the magic of the peach, but she was very smart and didn't say anything. She fell in love with this magical fruit.

If you bite it, it will be full of happiness.

It was the third uncle who wanted to share her peach with her two young grandsons, but fortunately she was stopped by Chen Zhengqian.

"Uncle San, children cannot eat too much. Eat one is enough, just eat it yourself."

Chen Zhengqian was helpless. This is the case with the older generation. He always wanted to leave it to his grandchildren. In fact, it was enough for children to eat one. Chen Zhengqian was afraid that their bodies would not be able to withstand it, and was worried that the Peach Banquet would be too good to promote their physical growth and would have any adverse effects on the future.

However, the third uncle herself is not very healthy, so it is better to keep it for herself to eat.

"This peach is good." Second uncle Chen Guoliang bit the peach and nodded in praise.

Delicious fruits give people a different taste.

Chen Zhengqian smiled and said nothing. How about the peaches? How can they not be delicious?

My parents also ate one, and Chen Zhengqian told them to eat at most one a day, just two or three, and eating too much at one time would probably not have any effect.

Then the remaining peaches were left to parents to deal with. Every household was divided and then taken to their uncles and aunts.

Especially my aunt and uncle, who is my cousin Jiang Hongyi's family.

They are old and have many physical problems due to work all year round. They usually seem to be fine, but if they don’t take care of it in time, problems will arise sooner or later.

Chen Zhengqian specifically told his mother to give his aunt and the others two more.

In short, it took a lot of effort to divide the peaches that every household should give away.

As for the reason, Chen Zhengqian's idea to his parents was that these were the special varieties he brought back from abroad and were specially distributed to his relatives to try.

The older generation of rural people have no education and no idea about foreign things, or they simply think that many things abroad are better than domestic ones. This way they can eat the peaches carefully prepared by Chen Zhengqian, so that they will not turn around and give them to others.

Alas, it’s so troublesome to do good deeds.

Who made Chen Zhengqian have no other good solution?
