89. Chapter 89
There was a lot of people, and it was impossible to imagine whether they were lively or not. When it became lively, time seemed to pass very quickly.
When the donkey cart approached the orchard, Lu Cheng looked at the sun in the east and turned around and said, "It was agreed that Chen Chu would gather in the orchard to start working. We came early. I guess we have to wait a while, why don't we go around first?"
Amu came to the orchard for the first time. Looking at the red fruits in the garden, he responded excitedly.
Li is a diligent man. He looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Let them have a few of them take a walk. Let's start now. The first time I pick it, I'll practice it first." They are odd jobs invited by Lu Cheng. If they are not good at doing it well, they are seen by the master of the Wu family or the people above Lu Cheng, it would be bad for them to blame them for being scolded.
Xu Shouliang nodded and said, "Let's pick it first. If you have anything to pay attention to, tell us."
Lu Cheng nodded.
The donkey cart slowly went down the slope and soon stopped outside the orchard gate.
The fruit was ripe and was afraid of being stolen. Uncle Li led a few guys Wu to live here these days. Although the orchard was big and there were few things to do, he and Lu Cheng were guarding him. Only when picking fruits would he call a few people from the Wu family courtyard to help prevent the thief. Therefore, although Lu Cheng is the second manager of the orchard, no one can take care of it, even though the wages are not low.
However, Lu Cheng only wanted to manage the orchard, but he didn't want to care for anyone. Otherwise, when Mr. Wu intended to ask him to go to the Wu family to do a real management business the year before yesterday, Lu Cheng would not refuse. In his opinion, when he manages the orchard, he served the fruit trees, and he didn't have to bow to others if he was tired. When he entered the Wu family courtyard, he might be able to climb up, and he might make a lot of money from the people below, but the masters, young and grandparents of all sizes on it had to bow his head when they met.
Lu Cheng is willing to serve fruit trees but not people.
Uncle Li heard the movement in the garden and walked out while coughing. Seeing Lu Cheng bringing people, he nodded to everyone.
"Master caught a cold?" Lu Cheng asked with concern.
Uncle Li waved his hand unconsciously, "I have to cough twice every year. It's okay. Then you can take them inside and teach them first, and I'll go there to take a look." The baskets were pulled over early, and they were almost finished. They put a pile of baskets in one piece, so that they could fill up a basket and get empty nearby, so that they don't have to run out again.
Lu Cheng knew what was going on, so he looked at Ningxiang, led everyone to a fruit tree, pointed to the row in front and said, "We two families will pick this job first." After that, he asked the family members who had picked fruits for two years to teach Ningxiang's family, and he ran to help Li Bo divide the basket.
The people who stayed were divided into two groups. Lu Zhongan led the men to occupy the first fruit tree in this voyage, and the women went to pick one.
Pan's mother and others first taught Li and others how to pick fruits.
It really requires skills.
When picking fruits, you cannot grab the fruit and pull it down hard. It must be like holding an egg. Hold the fruit with your hands, hold the nest next to the fruit shank with your index finger, and then lift it up hard to let the other end of the fruit shank off the branch instead of pulling it down. If you don’t work at a time, try a few more times. In short, you cannot pull it hard, otherwise it will easily cause the fruit shank to continue to be connected to the fruit tree and then pull off the sand and peel, so that the fruit will easily rot.
Sand fruits are small, and many of them grow together. You must be more careful when picking one fruit and breaking the other fruits, which will cause injuries on the ground. In addition, fruits are important, and leaves must be kept. Be careful when picking fruits and avoid falling leaves. In addition, the branches of the fruit tree will be popped around, so people must be careful not to thorn their eyes.
Ningxiang understood and turned around to teach her brother. Anan obediently held the hem of her mother's clothes and looked at it carefully with her head tilted.
Amu picked one, looked at the fruit in his hand, and smiled happily at his sister.
Ningxiang touched his brother's head rewardly.
When Anan sees him, he also wants to pick it.
Ningxiang was afraid that he would not pick it well, so it would be useless to hurt his fruit. She smiled and carried the little guy to a vine basket that was about the height of Amu. A circle of burlap was laid in the vine basket. Ningxiang put a fruit in it, then squatted down, looked at Anan seriously and said, "Anan, this is our basket. Let's pick the fruit and put it in. Anan helps us watch. Don't let others steal it, can you?"
It just so happened that a few more helpers came outside the orchard. When they saw Xu and Lu's family, they looked here curiously.
Anan looked at the big basket next to him, sat on the ground, looked at his mother and said, "Don't rob!"
Ningxiang kissed him in a rare way, "Then Anan looked at it carefully, my aunt went to pick the fruits, and I would also give Anan the money to earn."
Anan nodded with a grin.
The two families started to work hard. A Tao and Amu only picked the bottom one, Ningxiang and others picked the high ones, only the red ones, and the green ones had to grow for a few more days. Xu Qiuer was naughty and was the first to climb up to pick them on the thick branches. When Ningxiang saw it, she told her to be careful not to fall down.
"It's okay, I'm not a child." Xu Qiuer said indifferently. He picked a 10-year-old Lu Rong, "Second sister, let's do it together. I'll pick it, please help me and put it in the basket and leave."
Following the name Lu Cheng’s three brothers called the Lu sisters.
Lu Rong smiled and helped, and Amu also helped pick up the fruit.
Guan Ping looked around for a while before sighing secretly, turned to the side of the fruit tree with its back facing the man, climbed up neatly, and then shouted Ningxiang, "You can help me pick it up." He didn't want Ningxiang to climb the tree.
Ningxiang had to listen to her at this time and walked over obediently.
The main trunk under the fruit tree was thick and she couldn't climb up. Xu Qiuer and Lu Fu gave up early, Guan was as light as a swallow. The place they both dared not step on was as if she was walking on flat ground.
Li couldn't help but persuade, "Let's get off after picking this, let's take a step on the ladder and pick it up later. Let's go forward."
Guan Ping nodded, but had no intention of going down. He reached out to reach a fruit at a height.
On the tree next door, Lu Yan tilted his head and glanced at it, whispering: "It's worthy of being the one who escaped from the famine, and he's brave enough."
Xu Huai picked fruit next to him. He frowned when he heard this, and reminded him while picking the fruit: "The past is over. Don't mention the famine. She may think too much when she hears it."
Lu Yan glanced at him more and immediately apologized: "Brother Xu said, I'll pay attention in the future."
Xu Huai was a little guilty and jumped down the tree to put fruits.
"aunt!"
Anan sat on the ground and saw his mother coming over with several fruits in her arms, grinning and smiling.
The little guy was very obedient. Ningxiang was about to praise Anan when he suddenly saw Lu Cheng strode over behind the fruit tree in front of him, and he could feel his fiery gaze from afar. Ningxiang was panicked and took a few steps to put the fruit in his arms into the basket, and then quickly walked back to the tree while Lu Cheng approached.
The little girl ran away quickly, and Lu Cheng smiled helplessly.
"Dad!" Anan turned his head and saw him, happily patted the big basket next to him, "Our!"
"Who told you that it belongs to your family?"
A clear and wise man's voice suddenly came from the orchard door. Anan turned his head and looked at the tall man walking through the orchard door, feeling that he seemed familiar.
The fragrance looked through the gaps in the branches, but didn't recognize it.
Diagonally opposite Pan smiled and explained to Li, "The Wu family also has a Lizi Garden. This is the manager of Lizi Garden. He is named Yan Jing and has a very good relationship with Anan's father."
Ningxiang heard this and looked at Lu Cheng quietly, but saw Lu Cheng blinking at her.
Ningxiang was puzzled, and then he saw the man named Yan Jing standing next to Lu Cheng and looked at her directly. His eyes were clearly about confirming something. Ningxiang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she was both ashamed and annoyed. She immediately turned her head and turned her back to them.
"You'll miss me, will they like you?"
Yan Jing stared at Ningxiang's back blankly, and the little girl's face was still in her mind. After being stabbed by Lu Cheng, he withdrew his gaze in time and whispered to Lu Cheng, and wanted to look at Ningxiang again.
Lu Cheng turned around and faced him across the basket, warning him with his eyes, "Are you here to help with the work?"
Yan Jing replied that the donkey's lips were not right and stared at Lu Cheng with dissatisfaction, "Why are you so lucky? Every fairy-like girl likes you? Don't you have more pairs of eyes that can attract people than me? You are not as good as me in terms of wages."
His ability to manage fruit trees was inherited from the family. Seeing that his son had learned all his abilities, his father gave his son the position of the Liziyuan manager and opened a small shop. The father and the two of them made money together, so they lived a very good life.
Lu Cheng disdained to argue with him, but he smiled without saying a word.
Yan Jing originally wanted to defame Lu Cheng a few more words, but when he saw a beautiful girl jumping from the tree, walking towards her with fruit in her arms. Her white and pure face and watery almond eyes were a little similar to Lu Cheng's wife. He was inexplicably surprised and asked Lu Cheng secretly, "Who is this? Is there a master?"
Lu Cheng looked back.
"Brother Lu, why don't you work?" Xu Qiuer smiled and joked, "Do you want to grab an errand with Anan?"
"It's time to do it." Lu Cheng said with a smile, and after saying that, he winked at Yan Jing and asked him to follow him.
Yan Jing pretended not to see it, stared at Xu Qiuer and smiled, "Which sister are you Lu Cheng? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Xu Qiuer knew who he was, but she didn't know him. Seeing that the man was obviously teasing her, Xu Qiuer glared at him, squatted down to tease Anan, and took out the fruit she had been hiding behind her, "Look, Aunt Qiu picked the redest fruit, Anan kissed me and I'll give it to you."
He pinched the fruit shank and deliberately shook in front of Anan's eyes.
The fruit is round and red, and it looks really good.
Anan stared at him, obviously moved.
Xu Qiuer smiled and turned her face over. Anan immediately hid back, looked at her mother under the fruit tree, pointed at her mother and said, "Auntie!"
Xu Qiuer held back her anger and continued to smile and coax him, "Aunt Xiang is not as red as mine!"
Anan had hesitated. At this moment, she felt annoying and stood up on the ground and hid behind her father.
Xu Qiuer was so angry that she went to chase the bad guy, and didn't understand why the little guy just refused to hug her.
Yan Jing glanced at the elders who were busy picking fruits in front of the fruit tree. He did not treat Lu Cheng as a human being, and lowered his head. He smiled at the young girl who was not old, "Anan doesn't care about your fruits, and he has never seen someone so shameless and insisted on someone kissing him."
"You have to care!" Xu Qiuer raised her head suddenly and stared at him. She was having fun with Anan, why did he mess around?
The little girl's eyes were round and her face looked better than fruit. Yan Jing liked it more and more, and said softly: "I'm thirsty, Anan doesn't want it. Give me the fruit, as for kissing you..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Cheng took the basket to cover up and kicked him hard.
Yan Jing took an exaggerated breath, but when he met Xu Qiuer's little face, which was shocked and then angry, he laughed and ran into the fruit quickly, "You guys are busy, I'll go inside and take a look!"
"Qiu'er, don't listen to his nonsense. He's teasing you, he's not bad." Lu Cheng picked up his son and whispered to comfort the girl with a blushing face.
"Isn't this a bad guy?" The culprit ran away. Xu Qiuer exclaimed his anger on Lu Cheng and stared at him hatefully, "If you think he is not bad, it means you two are all the guys. Humph, I will tell my sister to go and ask her to wake up and not be deceived by you!"
After scolding, he turned around and left, and really went to Ningxiang.
Lu Cheng was anxious to chase after him, and opened his mouth and started talking lies, "Anan quickly apologizes to Aunt Qiu, I dare to sting Aunt Qiu next time..."
Xu Qiuer turned around in disbelief, and Lu Cheng quickly admitted his mistake in a low voice, afraid that the little girl would really go to her lover to talk nonsense.
The two of them muttered, Ningxiang couldn't help but tilted her head to look.
When Anan saw this, she was afraid that her mother would be angry, so she loudly defended herself, "I didn't sting!"
