Chapter 1015
I smiled lightly and looked up at him, my feet were a little numb from squatting for so long, my shoulders were a little sore, and I laughed, “This is my job, isn’t that what they say? In the workplace there is no distinction between men and women.”
The two of them were laughing, and Fu Shen Yan was taking Ouyang Zhang to see the base construction in the afternoon, and from the sounds of it, he was planning to let the Ouyang family have a piece of the project.
The two of them looked at each other like this, but they did look quite good together!
I saw a few people coming in my direction, I looked down and concentrated on my own business.
I thought a few people would leave after watching, but I didn’t expect Zhou Ranxi to suddenly speak up, “Grandpa Ouyang, you should be tired after such a long walk, there are resting places over here, let’s go and rest first, and you can just try the pears over here later!”
The old man seemed to have a particular fondness for fruit, especially the kind that had just been plucked from the tree.
As soon as Zhou Ranxi said this, the old man was naturally happy to stay.
So Zhou Ranxi helped Ouyang Zhang to the lounge, and Fu Shen Yan turned his gaze to me.
I originally thought he was simply looking at me, but I didn’t expect him to suddenly speak, “Secretary Shen, I’ll have to trouble you to help us pick some fruit behind the base.”
I froze and instinctively said, “I’m not very familiar with this side of the road!”
He raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, “Mr Mu seems to have said that he needs you to cooperate with us as much as possible.”
The words sounded irrelevant, but the implication was that if I didn’t go, then I wasn’t cooperating with him.
Seeing this, I nodded, put down what I was doing and spoke, “Okay, you guys wait a minute then!”
After finding a few plastic bags at the base, I went out of the base. Most of the land in Lanxi Village was an orchard, so it wasn’t difficult to pick fruit.
It was only because it was all muddy and because it had rained heavily last night, it was a bit muddy. The orchards were fenced off outside, partly for fear of domestic animals coming in and partly to make it easier for the farmers on this side to sort out each family’s land.
The fences are made of tH**ny canes, so if you can’t find the entrance, you can easily get pricked.
I turned around in the orchard and when I saw Liu Heng following me, he smiled and said, “The entrance is on the other side, you have to turn around to get there, but it rained last night and this side is all construction sites, so the road is probably not very good, you have to be careful!”
I nodded and followed the direction he pointed and did find my way into the orchard.
In August, most of the pears in the yard were ready to eat, but some of them were a bit slow to ripen and had not yet ripened.
They are a bit sour and astringent to eat, so it is natural to look for riper and sweeter ones for the elderly.
Luckily, it was noon and there were no more water droplets among the fruit, so when I heard someone talking, I stopped to listen carefully.
It seemed to be Fu Shenyan and Zhou Ranxi.
The first time I heard this, I heard someone talking.
Fu Shen Yan’s voice was shallow as he said, “It’s fine, the road is slippery, it’s not very safe for you to come alone!”
Probably because his words were somewhat warm, Zhou Ranxi smiled lightly, her eyes overflowing with light.
Chapter 1016
I was going to leave, after all, staying like this, there are a few light bulbs.
But then Fu Shen Yan suddenly called out, “Secretary Shen, have you picked the fruit?”
I froze, looked at the empty bag and laughed, “Not yet, aren’t you and Miss Zhou picking? Old Mr. Ouyang shouldn’t want many either, so I’ll leave first!”
“Since we’re all here and it’s so hot, pick a few more and take them back, we’ll all eat them together, Secretary Shen, won’t we?” Zhou Ranxi spoke, deliberately moving closer to Fu Shen Yan as she spoke, afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see how close the two of them were.
I nodded my head and said blandly, “Okay, pick them then!”
I looked around the orchard and found a pear tree that looked like it was growing well and was just right for me to pick.
Zhou Ranxi followed me like a ghost, saw me pick a few and put them in the bag, she also picked them, then took them in her hand and rubbed them for half a day, took a bite and looked at me with a screwed up face and said, “So sour, Miss Shen, who’s going to eat this, it’s a waste of fruit!”
I looked at her and said, “If you don’t eat it, someone else will. If you don’t like it, find your own fruit and eat it!”
Ignoring her, I started looking for a tree to pick, unlike her, and spoke out loud, “This fruit must be good, Secretary Shen, why don’t you climb up and pick it!”
Raising my eyes to look at the fruit tree she pointed to, I pursed my lips, somewhat speechless, a few meters high tree, naturally the fruit has more sunlight, but a tree that high, where is it that easy to say pick it.
“I don’t know how to climb a tree!” I spoke, not intending to say much to her either.
“No way!” She looked at me with a surprised face, “Mr. Fu said you grew up in the countryside after childhood, you can’t be unable to climb such a small tree, can you?”
Fu Shenyin seemed to have gone somewhere, I frowned and looked at her, “Fu Shenyin said that to you?”
She nodded, with a matter-of-fact look on her face, “Yes, he told me a lot about what used to happen!”
I nodded, oh, and had no intention of answering.
Seeing me about to leave, she stepped in front of me and said, “The fruit from this tree must be especially sweet, what would you do if you climbed up and picked a few, why are you so selfish, picking so many sour fruits back, who would eat them?”
I exhaled, a little annoyed, and looked at her, “So you don’t have any hands or feet? You can’t go up and pick them yourself? If you think it’s so easy to climb a tree, climb it yourself, I’m not stopping you!”
Nuts!
“Shen Shu, you …… are really selfish!” She was so angry that she couldn’t find anything else to dislike me, so she just cursed in anger.
I wasn’t interested in chattering with her and was ready to pick some fruit to go back.
When I saw Fu Shen Yan carrying a bag of fruit, he looked at us and said indifferently, “What’s up?”
“You’re back, Mr. Fu!” Zhou Ranxi opened her mouth, like a flower peaC*ck, walked up to Fu Shen Yan and spoke, “Look at the fruit on this pear tree, from afar it looks big and tender, it looks especially delicious.”
Fu Shen Yan nodded and said indifferently, “The tree is a bit high, it’s not easy to climb up.”
Zhou Ranxi nodded and said with some pity, “I heard earlier that Miss Shen seemed to like climbing trees, so I wanted to let her try.”
I was speechless, I always felt that these two people were a bit crazy.
I didn’t intend to pay any attention to them and was just about to leave when Fu Shen Yan looked at me, his handsome beauty slightly raised, and said, “The pear tree in Huai’an’s courtyard is taller than this one, and the four seasons say that you climb it every year to pick it, try it!”
