Chapter 130 Orchard
It was the perfect season, and the wooden racks on the branches in the Shanzhuang Garden area were full of fresh fruits.
Perhaps the tourists who come to visit find the idea of picking fresh fruits new and interesting, so many people come to stroll around in the orchard, making the surrounding area feel as lively as a market.
People like Cheng Si were not the kind of people who wanted to squeeze with others to pick fruit, so most of the plump fruits in places with few people were picked and eaten by others.
There were not many ripe fruits at the back, so many people climbed up the trees to pick them. Hou Zuocheng and his friends didn't like eating fruits very much, but they thought it was interesting, so they followed others and climbed up the trees to pick fruits.
Cheng Si, who had no motivation, helped to catch the fruits with a basket from below. By the time half the basket was full, these people were still eager to try and climb higher.
"Hey, can you guys please stop going up there, or you'll break the peach tree!" Xin Yison looked up at the two people on top who were in a playful mood.
"It won't break if you don't climb too high. The trunk is very strong!" Hou Zuocheng replied excitedly.
Cheng Si didn't want to care at first, but the basket was almost full, so he looked up and shouted, "Monkey, come down quickly, the basket is full!"
"Ah? How come it's full so quickly? I want to pick more," Hou Zuocheng said with some regret but went down anyway.
Cheng Si waited for him to come down and said helplessly, "If you pick more, I won't be able to put them all in a sack."
Hou Zuo took advantage of the man's playful mood and picked all the fruits at once and threw them down in an open space, completely ignoring the hard work of Cheng Si who was frantically picking up fruits below.
Hou Zuocheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, looking at Cheng Si who was struggling to hold the basket, "I didn't expect to pick so many. I'll carry them for a while, you take a break."
Lin Zhi also came down from the tree nearby. Xin Yisong was the one who helped him catch the peaches. He felt a little lucky at this moment. Lin Zhi was very particular about picking fruits. He would usually check the peaches and only pick the ones that were particularly large before throwing them down.
Cheng Si heard Hou Zuocheng admit his mistake and waved his hands, "It's okay, you were just too fast and I was a little overwhelmed. I need to pick out some of the things in the basket later. There must be some that have been eaten by insects and need to be checked."
"Hey, have you finished picking them?!" Su Luoyin just ate an unripe peach and couldn't stand the sourness and astringency, so he went to rinse his mouth.
When I came back and saw four people cleaning up downstairs, I asked this question.
"Luo Yin, are you okay now?" Xin Yisong asked with concern.
Su Luoyin shook his head. "It's okay. I just have some concerns about Taozi."
"Hahaha, who told you to be so greedy," Hou Zuocheng laughed.
Su Luoyin was angry when he saw the person who made him eat the "unlucky fruit". He immediately slapped the person on the arm and said, "How dare you mention it? It's you who picked the rotten fruit. I feel that the peach is sour when I look at it now."
"What are you talking about, handsome boy? The fruits in our orchard are fragrant and sweet. If you don't like them, don't say these things. We..." A garden manager happened to pass by and kept talking while trying to be polite.
"No, no, the fruits here are all the best. I was just joking with my friend!" Su Luoyin was almost in tears. She stopped the forest manager from brainwashing her and forced a smile.
"Is that so? Do you have any other questions? Feel free to ask me any questions you have."
Su Luoyin shook his head frantically at the staff's attentive smiles, "No other questions!"
"Okay, then you guys continue shopping and have fun," the staff member then left feeling satisfied.
Everyone present was silent for a while.
"Just now, I had a hunch that if I said something bad, I might be kicked out directly."
“Same feeling.”
"..."
"Don't mind me, handsome guys. Most of the people managing the orchard are gardeners who plant trees. They have feelings for the orchard, so their reactions may be a little extreme. Please don't mind," a gentle man in his forties smiled politely at them.
Cheng Si and the others smiled back, "It's okay, that auntie didn't say anything excessive just now."
"As long as you don't mind, the employees here are easy to get along with and won't do anything to kick you out."
Su Luoyin, the person with the most say because of the embarrassing incident just now, smiled and said, "We believe this, uncle, you are very good." The man was also wearing orchard work clothes, so his identity was easy to confirm.
The man smiled when he heard this. "It's true what you said. You guys just got here not long ago, right? You can go to the grape trellis over there later. There's a place to rest in the shade. The grapes are sweet too."
"Thank you, uncle!" The five people said goodbye to the uncle and walked in the direction he said.
Halfway through the journey, Hou Zuocheng happened to see Jin Yue holding a lotus leaf not too far away and shouted in a loud voice, "Hey, Sister Jin Yue, look over here!"
Jin Yue heard the sound and looked over here. Seeing the five of them, he waved and called out to the back, "Brother, have you guys finished picking the melons? I saw Brother Cheng Cheng and the others!"
Hearing this, Jin Li came out with a big melon, glanced at his cousin, and looked towards Cheng Si and the others.
Cheng Si and the others took a few quick steps and met Jin Li and the others. Those who had been looking at Cheng Si just now immediately shifted their gaze.
He walked straight into the melon rack and shouted to the two people who were still picking melons, "Why are you two picking melons like you're picking wives? Can you be quicker?" His tone was so casual that he sounded like he deserved a beating.
"Hey, what you said is wrong. Choosing a wife is much more difficult than this. It's only been a short while. Why are you so impatient?" Xie Yao said jokingly.
As for Qian Yu, he just glanced at Jin Li and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Cheng Si noticed that Jin Li avoided him and felt helpless. After eating barbecue yesterday, the two returned to the room. Jin Li drank with his childhood friend and got a little drunk. After they took a shower, he smelled even drunker.
She insisted on squeezing into his bed and wanted to sleep with him, and Cheng Si agreed. But he got drunk and started to touch her, which made Cheng Si unable to sleep well.
Later, Cheng Si was annoyed by him and asked the front desk to send some hangover medicine up, ordering the drunk man to take the medicine quickly.
Although Jin Li was a little dissatisfied because of his drunkenness, he still took the medicine. Cheng Si thought he could sleep well, but he didn't expect that this man would have to squeeze in to sleep with him.
Cheng Si was reluctant. It was hot in the summer and Jin Li was hot. Cheng Si felt uncomfortable sleeping with him. She coaxed him patiently, "Sleep by yourself. It's too hot for us to sleep together."
A drunk person is unreasonable, and the logical one shook his head, "Just turn the air conditioner down a bit."
Cheng Si couldn't make sense of him, and felt that he was pretending to be drunk, so he said something very tough, "You smell like alcohol, and it makes me uncomfortable."
After hearing this, Jin Li finally went back to his bed obediently, but he was a little unhappy the next day and just turned a cold face and ignored Cheng Si.
Cheng Si was not afraid of offending others and negotiated with him, "You can go play with your sister in the morning. She doesn't have any acquaintances here. I will go with Lin Zhi and the others today."
Jin Li just sneered at the clear itinerary arranged by Cheng Si and replied with a "OK". From that moment on, he ignored him from breakfast to the meeting.
