Chapter 54

The sun was rising high, Bai Mumu's face was flushed with tan, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. The chestnut seedlings had finished growing, and the driver not far away threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth and drove away.

The young man was also covered in sweat. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, smiling innocently: "Thank you just now, my name is Zhu Dongwen, and I was just distributing chestnut branches to the villagers for grafting, from Jiangshui Township Local chestnuts are delicious but small, and there is no harvest, so..."

Zhu Dongwen looked at Bai Mumu's face while talking, and he didn't think much of what he said.

Bai Mumu chuckled, her eyes crooked.

Zhu Dongwen quickly stopped talking, realizing how stupid he was just now, scratched his hair, and asked embarrassingly: "What about you? What's your name, are you here for tourism?"

He didn't wait for Bai Mumu to answer, and continued: "It's more suitable to travel to Jiangshui Township in summer. There are wild flowers and fruits all over the mountains and plains, and the weather is also comfortable. Some people even plant lotus in the paddy fields..."

Bai Mumu didn't interrupt, she found that the other party didn't seem to dare to look at her, keeping her eyes down.

Until an apology suddenly sounded in my ear.

From the corner of his eyes, Zhu Dongwen saw Bai Mumu's tanned face and the sweat on his forehead, coughed lightly, and put his hands on the brim of the straw hat hesitantly: "I... I'll get you two bottles of water, you are here Stand still."

Just as Bai Mumu was about to refuse, he ran away without a trace.

After waiting for a few minutes, Zhu Dongwen came back with water and a brand new hat in his hand.

"I have a hat, but I didn't wear it today." Bai Mumu didn't take the hat, but only took the water.

The packaging of the mineral water bottle was quite simple, she had never seen it before, so she took a second look curiously.

This scene fell in Zhu Dongwen's eyes. He thought it was Bai Mumu's disgust, and quickly explained: "It's our local brand, and the water is also spring water from the mountain. There is a test report, so you can drink it with confidence."

"Thank you." Bai Mumu smiled, unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips: "Water, it's delicious, I'll go first."

Bai Mumu didn't take a few steps forward, Zhu Dongwen chased after him on his scooter: "Sorry, I... I haven't asked your name yet, if it's convenient, where are you going? I'll take you by scooter."

Bai Mumu looked at the bright sun above his head, and there was no shelter around him. Zhu Dongwen's water was also taken from the nearby cooperative.
After thinking about it, he said to Zhu Dongwen, "Thank you, I'm going to Jiangshui School."

"Okay, hold on steady." Zhu Dongwen turned his head, and he saw Bai Mumu's fine white fingers tightly grasping the stainless steel frame at the back of the electric car.

A two-wheeled electric car is much faster than two legs. Bai Mumu is sitting in the back seat, already thinking about whether he should learn it, or he will feel tired and panic even if he wants to go shopping on the street.

When he arrived at the place, Bai Mumu got out of the car and nodded to Zhu Dongwen: "Thank you."

Before she stepped into the school gate, Zhu Dongwen behind her called her: "Well...you haven't told me your name yet?"

Bai Mumu turned her head and waved at him: "Bai Mumu."

Bai Mumu...

Zhu Dongwen read it in his heart, looked back at the familiar school gate, and rode away

Jiangshui High School, the place most familiar to the locals.

If it's here, there's no rush.

When Bai Mumu returned to the dormitory, Zhu Li was squatting at the door of her dormitory, her two cheeks puffed up, half coquettish and half complaining: "Why did you come back!"

"Sorry, sorry." Bai Mumu opened the door and quickly let the other person in: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Ms. Bai, you just came to Jiangshui Township. You haven't been to many places. Some of our teachers plan to go to the mountains to pick wild persimmons in the afternoon. Come with us in the afternoon." Zhu Li went straight to the point.

When Bai Mumu learned that she was going to climb mountains and drill forests, she shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but that she was a little tired.

The amount of activities in S city in one day is not as much as this morning.

Although she was only helping with the registration, she would occasionally help carry chestnut branches. Don't look at the small ones, but the number of them is heavy, causing her arms to be sore now.

Bai Mumu explained the reason clearly, and Zhu Li stared at her weak limbs: "Mr. Bai, you are really weak! I think you can't beat the big goose in summer."

"There are big geese in summer?!" Bai Mumu became nervous and spoke quickly.

Zhu Li nodded and gritted her teeth: "That's right, there are big geese on the riverside in summer, it's so fierce! If you catch someone, you will yell."

Obviously, Zhu Li has been nagged by big goose many times.

"Ms. Bai, you need to exercise, and you need to be fast, so that the big goose can't catch up with you." She left after finishing speaking.

Bai Mumu sat on the stool by herself, with a wry smile on her face. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was afraid of geese!
When I was young, there was someone selling chickens at the gate of the school, but Bai Mumu went there too late and couldn’t buy them. She cried and made noises, so Bai Song had to take her to the vegetable market to buy a little goose. It made her dare not raise these things from then on.

She is a good-for-nothing, faster than a big goose, it seems that she must learn this battery car!
Lunch was settled in the cafeteria, and Bai Mumu didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, so she lay down in the dormitory to sleep.

When it was almost night, Zhu Li knocked on the door: "Mr. Bai, are you in?"

Bai Mumu responded and opened the door. Zhu Li was holding a basket of big red persimmons, the size of two fists.

Bai Mumu was puzzled: This doesn't look like a wild persimmon, does it?
"How big are wild persimmons?!" Bai Mumu asked.

After being frightened in the morning, she really recovered.

Zhu Li pursed her lips and snickered. She liked to see Bai Mumu's face that had never seen the world, and pushed the bamboo basket in her hand away.

The persimmon on the top pile was not placed properly, and it fell down, but Bai Mumu caught it.

"Wild persimmons are not that big. My family picked them and I'll show them to you to taste."

"Thank you." Bai Mumu thanked.

Zhu Li gave the persimmon and went back. There is her dormitory in the school, but most of them she will go home.

Bai Mumu took a persimmon to the sink to wash, it was hard, she took a bite, it was astringent and bitter, not at all like the persimmons she usually ate.

Is it not ripe?Bai Mumu thought: Or is it the same as kiwi, which can only be eaten when it is softened?

She couldn't make up her mind, so she sent a message to Zhu Li: "Mr. Zhu, this persimmon is so astringent, how do I eat it? Should I keep it for a while?"

Zhu Li, who hadn't arrived home yet, stood on the side of the road with her mobile phone in her hands and smiled silly. She seemed to be able to imagine Bai Mumu taking a bite.

"Uncooked ones." Zhu Li replied: "Wash the persimmons and put them in an airtight jar. Fill the jar with cold salt water and marinate it like a pickle. You can eat it in a week. It's crispy and crispy. sweet!"

Because of Zhu Li's words, Bai Mumu went to the school gate to buy pots and boil water. After working for more than an hour, she finally finished it.
