Chapter 3: The Special Ability of Little Fatty
The peach harvest period is still ongoing, and some people who are working in nearby cities will return to help out, conveniently bringing back some peaches to share with colleagues and superiors to foster good relationships. Currently, it is already late for peaches, and those individuals have long returned to the city.
Sister Lu's eyes widened in surprise: "Heavens, my goodness, such a large and beautiful peach? I have been growing them for over ten years, and I have never seen such good peaches. Joy, where did you get these? It's already late in the peach season, and the peaches that are harvested now are usually not tasty."
Indeed!
In just a brief moment of sleep, Lei Huanxi had a dream in which he had a very beautiful girlfriend. The two of them were lying on the lush green grass, ... his girlfriend's hand gently caressed Lei Huanxi's face ...
Lei Huanxi laughed heartily and said, "Just wait, your Uncle Huanxi will surely have a day of wealth!"
Lei Huanxi chuckled and said, "This was left to me by my grandfather; I just found it last night"
"Where is it? Take it yourself." Sister Lu handed him the key and asked, "What do you need the tricycle for?"
At this moment, Lei Huanxi has undergone a complete transformation
Hastily rushing home, I drew water from the well and poured it into a basin, then carefully placed the little fatty inside.
However, suddenly, its gaze fell upon the jade pendant hanging from Lei Huanxi's chest. Although exhausted, it still struggled to twist its body, with its eyes filled with longing
Pluck one and taste it
Xiao Pang's spirit was already quite low, and he barely nodded his head
Upon hearing the words "braised pork," the little chubby boy's two sesame-sized eyes sparkled with brilliance as he nodded repeatedly
Lei Huanxi had no idea what it wanted to do. Patiently waiting for a full seven or eight minutes, it finally saw a drop of golden-yellow liquid, the size of a grain of rice, emerge from the dragon's mouth
At this moment, seeing Sister Lu, Lei Huanshi suggested, "Sister Lu, could you lend me your little tricycle for a while"
This is when he was in Yundong City, where he once spent ten yuan to buy a fake jade at an antique market, which was purely a decorative item
"Selling peaches." Lei Huanxi said as he moved the peaches from the basket onto the tricycle.
As soon as the little chubby one came into contact with the jade, it surprisingly rolled around on the jade, seemingly overjoyed. However, its movements soon came to a halt, and it exerted all its strength to raise its head, shaking that little head repeatedly.
Peaches mature in just two to three months, and the effort required is substantial. There is the constant threat of natural disasters and pest infestations. After a year of hard work tending to them, the time and money spent on cultivating peaches could have been earned by working in the city instead.
"Boasting, boasting!" shouted Da Gang and Xiao Gang, their mouths dripping with juice from the food, "Uncle Huanxi is just boasting, two old cows are flying in the sky!"
How can so many peaches be transported out? Should they be hauled to the town with a cart?
Lei Huanxi probably does not know that while he was asleep, the spiritual energy hidden within the walnut burst forth, not only awakening Xiao Pang but also entering a significant portion into Lei Huanxi's body
Upon hearing this, the chubby boy immediately nodded excitedly.
Stepping out of the house, the village was in a state of desolation
Lei Huanxi was so dazzled by what he saw that, until now, he still could not believe that this was real
Sister Lu usually tends to half an acre of peach trees to supplement the household income. Her husband, Sun Shuigen, is a rather simple man who is willing to work, but he has a penchant for drinking. Once he starts, he tends to overindulge, and when he does, he often scolds his wife and hits the children. Therefore, every time Sun Shuigen returns home at the end of the month, the family is never at peace.
The滴 of golden liquid quickly disappeared into the peach tree
Heavenly Garden Peaches, rare and exquisite products, limited quantity, available while supplies last. Each peach is priced at 100 yuan, no bargaining accepted
The majority of the rice porridge and eggs in the pot were completely consumed by the little chubby one, yet he still appeared unsatisfied and as if he had not had enough
Took out the cart that my grandfather used to often use, returned to the peach orchard, picked 107 peaches, and transported them all back home
Upon returning home, I saw that the little chubby one had already fallen asleep in the basin, and my heart finally felt at ease. Lying on the bed, I reflected on the fact that I had such an extraordinary encounter, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what, until just before dawn when I dozed off for a short while.
Sister Lu does not wish to avoid work, but she truly has no choice. Her in-laws have been ill for many years and require constant care. Moreover, she is also responsible for two children who are about to start school
"What does eating a peach matter?" Lei Huanxi rode on the tricycle, smiling and said: "When Uncle Huanxi becomes wealthy in the future, I will invite you all to the Xihai Grand Hotel to eat, and we will have the most expensive dishes!"
Sometimes Lei Huanxi would stand up for Sister Lu, but Sister Lu would always respond with a faint smile: "Which man doesn't hit his wife"
As soon as Lei Huanxi woke up, the little chubby one jumped and bounced, climbing from Lei Huanxi's face to his belly, pausing there for a moment, and then raising his head to look at Lei Huanxi with a pitiful expression
Lei Huanxi found it strange that ever since waking up in the Peach Garden, not only had all his injuries healed completely, but his physical condition also seemed to have improved significantly. Even more astonishingly, Lei Huanxi, who had previously been somewhat nearsighted, could now see clearly objects thirty meters away even at night
As soon as he entered the water, the little chubby one indeed regained quite a bit of energy, and even swam around joyfully for a while
I said it was the Land God who helped me plant it, do you believe it
What is going on here
Jade? Does Xiao Pang need jade?
However, under the temptation of a large bowl of braised pork, I was still reluctantly placed by Lei Huanxi on a peach tree that had long since withered.
Lei Huanxi's gaze fell upon the 107 peaches, each the size of two fists. Their appearance was enticingly glossy, and as one approached, there was a rich and fragrant aroma.
After some thought, I knocked on the door next door: "Sister Lu, Sister Lu!"
At that moment, Sister Lu's two sons rushed out, saw such large peaches, cheered, and immediately stuffed them into their mouths, saying: "Thank you, Uncle Huanxi"
At this moment, the dragon seemed to have exhausted all its strength and suddenly became listless
Lei Huanxi has heard people say that jade possesses spiritual energy. Does Xiao Pang need the spiritual energy of jade to restore his spirit
"How did your belly get so big? Can you really eat that much?" Lei Huanxi mumbled as he got up, turned the leftover rice from yesterday into congee, and fried an egg
What is that? Is it ambergris? It must be, only ambergris has such miraculous effects
I counted and, excluding the one I just ate, there are actually exactly 107 peaches on the tree.
Ultimately, the peach grew to the size of two fists before it ceased to grow
What the dragon truly needs is the spiritual energy of jade, but unfortunately, this piece of jade is fake
Tingling and itchy... However, it became increasingly itchy, continuing to itch until Lei Huanxi reluctantly left the dream and opened his eyes
Therefore, at the county meeting, the leaders often say: "Zhu Nan Town, Xiantao Village, is renowned nationwide for its peaches, yet there are almost no young people willing to stay in their hometown to cultivate peaches. Why not think of a way? How can we attract talent and retain young people?"
The several peach trees that originally appeared listless have also begun to radiate vibrant vitality
Find a piece of cardboard and write a few lines of text on it in a crooked manner
Sun Shuigen and Sister Lu are the recent neighbors of the Lei family, having watched Lei Huanshu grow up, and the two families have a fairly good relationship. Yesterday, when Lei Huanshu's grandfather was buried, Sister Lu specifically attended and offered 201 yuan as a condolence gift
This is one of the few women of this age who still remain at home in Xiantao Village. Her husband, Sun Shuigen, works at a cement factory on the outskirts of Yundong City, returning home to reunite with his family once a month at the end of each month
The journey back and forth is considerable, yet Lei Huanshi feels no sense of fatigue; on the contrary, he is full of energy, and running a few more rounds poses no problem at all
Only then did Lei Huanxi's heart finally settle down
Bringing Little Fatty to the peach orchard, I noticed that Little Fatty still had a displeased expression on his face
Delicious, delicious! I have never eaten such delicious peaches in my entire life.
The wilted and yellowing leaves of the peach tree have turned green again, and small peaches have miraculously appeared on the branches. Even more astonishing is that the peaches are growing at an incredible speed.
It is certainly the work of that drop of golden liquid
There is no way out, dragons need water, don't they
"Braised pork, braised pork, I remember, I remember." Lei Huanxi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "I will go to the town now to sell the peaches, and then buy some meat. You stay here and wait for me, do not go out, do you understand?"
However, at this moment, a miracle occurred with the book...
Little Fat seems to be working very hard at something over there, to the extent that his originally almost transparent body has turned somewhat red.
"Who are you trying to fool? Which family has peaches that can last that long?" Sister Lu did not believe a word: "Moreover, your grandfather never grew peaches that big when he was alive!"
Sweet, juicy, and delightful, yet absolutely not the cloying kind of sweetness. The peach juice enters the mouth, and a wave of sweetness flows from the mouth straight to the heart
At a glance, the little chubby one appears to be in a terrible state, almost unable to hold onto the trunk and on the verge of falling down.
With a mindset of trying it out, I took this piece of jade and placed the little chubby one on top of it
"These were left to me by my grandfather; he had a secret recipe." Lei Huanxi took three peaches and unceremoniously stuffed them into Sister Lu's hands, saying, "These are for you and your two sons, Da Gang and Xiao Gang, as payment for borrowing your car."
There is no girlfriend, no gentle caress, and he has no idea when the little fat one jumped out of the basin, crawling back and forth on his face
In this world, there is no other branch that can produce such peaches.
Lei Huanxi quickly picked it up gently and placed it in the palm of his hand: "Little Fatty, you have worked hard. Tomorrow, I will definitely make you a big bowl of braised pork as a reward."
Most rural areas are like this, with strong laborers having gone out to work, leaving behind some elderly individuals and peach farmers who rely on peaches for their livelihood
What a big peach! Lei Huanxi grew up in Xiantao Village and has seen all kinds of peaches, but he has never seen one this large before
But that is a matter for the leadership
A moment later, Sister Lu, in her early thirties, came out and said, "What a delight! Is there something you need?"
Aren't you hungry again
