Alpine Orchard - Chapter 111

[Chapter 111 Going home]

millet is finished.

Xiao Mian’s parents are not working now, so they are drying millet at home.

Ye Mo’s muscles ached all over, and he recovered after two days of rest.

He recovered quickly, and by the third day, he was fully recovered.

After the high-intensity labor, Ye Mo felt reborn, and his steps became much lighter.

Ye Mo is ready to go back when the millet is in the warehouse.

“Dad, leave the car at home. You can get a driver’s license when you have time later, and drive it yourself.” Lin Xiaomian said.

Xiao Mian’s mother looked at the car and said, “How old is your dad? He still drives.”

“Uncle is still young.” Ye Mo smiled and said, “My dad just got his driver’s license this year.”

“Okay, Leave the car at home, I will drive.” The car called by Ye Mo came, and Xiaomian’s father sent them to the door: “Be careful on the road, and call us when you get home.”

“Okay.” Lin Xiaomian got into the car , waved his hand.

Ye Mo put the luggage in the trunk…

Xiao Mian’s mother gave them a bucket of lobster, which was covered with a net.   After the car set off, Lin Xiaomian leaned her head on Ye Mo’s shoulder and said, “How about raising some native chickens and goats in Gaoshanping

?”

.

She dyed her hair back, black, and permed it back to straight.

To be honest, Lin Xiaomian’s hair color before was really pretty, the pinkish-brown hair made her skin look particularly fair. The whole person looks like a ceramic doll.

But in the countryside, pink-brown hair looks nondescript, especially weird.

Ye Mo stroked Lin Xiaomian’s hair and said, “What did you think before, you dyed it a pinkish brown.”

“The barber shop said the color could be washed off, so I dyed it. I think it looks pretty, a little cute.” Lin Xiaomian shrank her neck. She permed her hair just to try it out.

Ye Mo smiled. When he was young…he also permed his head and dyed his hair.

When he was in high school, Ye Mo was handsome, with long hair, but luckily he didn’t mess it up too much.

Go back to Gaoshanping.

No one was at home, but the sound of the excavator was heard from a distance.

Ye Mo and the others took the luggage down and paid for the fare…

Xiao Mian’s family raised lobsters in a seedling field of more than three acres, and the total output was less than three hundred catties.

Back home, Ye Mo raised the lobster first.

“Uncle, they seem to have gone to open up wasteland.” Lin Xiaomian said, “Go and have a look.”

“Yes.” Ye Mo rode on the battery car, carried Lin Xiaomian, and searched for the sound.

Ye Mo’s family, the second uncle’s family, Chen Chen and Tang Xun’s family, and many people they don’t know, probably dozens of them are here. More than 20 orchard transport vehicles were parked. They are all beach four-wheel drive modified farm vehicles with tipping buckets…

the same model as Ye Mo’s.

This kind of car can drive directly into the orchard. The body of the car is 2.2 meters long and can hold fruits, fertilizers and so on. For orchards with not particularly steep slopes, it is very comfortable to use.

This off-road dump truck is now one for every family in their production team.

“So many people?” Lin Xiaomian adjusted his glasses.

They are all from the production team. They came to help cut trees…

There are many shrubs and some miscellaneous trees on the mountain. These trees are felled and taken home for firewood.

The house on the side of the production team is half built. For the remaining half, the main part is mostly completed, and the rest is decoration. Outer decoration, inner decoration, etc…

“I’m back.” Tang Xun looked at Lin Xiaomian: “Is he fierce in thresher?”

“Bad.” Lin Xiaomian said with a smile.

“I’m telling you, I’m not bragging… I’m so fierce at thrashing millet.” Ye Mo said loudly.

“You bragging is so fierce…”

Lin Xiaomian looked at the two of them speechlessly.

“Old Qing…Qinggouzi…your son and daughter-in-law are back.” Sanshu Li from the production team shouted.

Father Ye’s name, Ye Qing. Nickname… Qinggouzi.

Qinggouzi…the local dialect is ‘Qinggouziwaer’, which means being very mischievous and mischievous.

Father Ye stopped the excavator and looked over: “Why did you come back today?”

“The millet is finished, and it’s also dried,” Ye Mo said.

“Ye Mo is back.” The third aunt said with a smile, “Let’s open a big watermelon at noon.”

“It’s fake for you to come to help with the work, but it’s true to think about the big watermelon.” Father Ye said with a smile: “Okay, Open a big watermelon at noon… Let’s bet on whether the watermelon is hollow or not. I’ll be the banker, with a cap of 50 yuan.”

“Hey, I can’t stand your smugness. You can be a banker, with a cap of 100 yuan. I bet with you today… 100% hollow.” Li Sanshu said.

“Come on. Let me tell you, it’s definitely not hollow…”

“I’ll bet on hollowness.”

There are many people in front of the chainsaw, sawing shrubs and miscellaneous trees.

Everyone came over to collect some firewood, and by the way, get rid of the many weeds on the barren hill.

Three excavators are behind, clearing the site. One of them was driven by Mother Ye, who had just learned how to do it and was very unskilled.

Seeing Lin Xiaomian and Ye Mo approaching, he let the excavator out.

“Are you going to drive it or should I go?” Ye Mo asked.

“I’ll go.” Lin Xiaomian trotted over.

Ye Mo and Tang Xun helped bundle up the cleared bushes…

“Your family’s appeal is very strong. I heard that you are going to open up wasteland here, and people from the production team came here one after another,” Tang Xun said.

Ye Mo smiled and said: “As long as you are free in the countryside, just shout out, and the folks in the village will help if they can.” He

worked until after ten o’clock.

Everyone packed up…

“Go to the warehouse and eat watermelon.” Papa Ye yelled.

“Let’s go.”

Amidst laughter, everyone loaded the bundled timber into the car and started the car. There were

more than 20 cars, which was quite spectacular.

When we came to the warehouse, everyone washed their hands.

Ye Mo, his father, and Uncle Li carried the biggest watermelon to the table.

“Come on, come on, bet, 50 yuan cap, guess whether it is hollow or solid. The odds are 1 to 1.” Ye Dad yelled with a smile.

“I’m betting on nothing.” Uncle Li sent a fifty yuan red envelope to Ye Mo’s father.

“I’ll take a gamble too, hollow.” Chen Chen’s father said. I also sent a fifty yuan red envelope…

“Anyone else, send me a red envelope directly, and note whether it is hollow or solid.”

Tang Xun looked at the melon.

This big watermelon has been picked for more than half a month. It turned out to be solid, but after so long, it should be hollow.

“You want to gamble too?” Ye Mo watched as Tang Xun took out his phone and clicked on WeChat.

Tang Xun chuckled: “Entertainment, the most important thing is to participate.”

Ye Ran and Lin Xiaomian stood together.

“What do you think, hollow or solid?” Ye Ran asked.

Lin Xiaomian: “It should be solid.”

“Bet not.”

Lin Xiaomian shook his head: “I won’t bet?”

Lin Xiaomian felt that she should still be honest. The three melons I brought home before were all opened, two more than 60 kilograms, one more than 50 kilograms…all of them were solid and there was no space.

Besides, Boss Zhang bought two watermelons weighing more than 200 kilograms to go back to do activities… Lin Xiaomian found it on Douyin, and the two melons were also solid.

None of Ye Mo’s watermelons has been hollow so far.

In this case, most of the two extra-large watermelons here are also solid.
