Chapter 83 Hot Spring Bath (4) [5th Update]

Although Maoyang Village is just a small fishing village, with only about one hundred to two hundred households, the area of ​​the village is quite large.

The greening in the village is also very good. Arrow bamboo and hibiscus are planted on both sides of the cement road, and there is a bougainvillea every five meters.

There are also plants that can be seen everywhere in the village, namely coconut trees and betel nut trees, and then rosewood trees and agarwood trees.

Rosewood trees and agarwood trees are small trees that have been planted for several years or more, but the crowns are quite lush and have the effect of shading.

Then there are various fruit trees, such as lychee trees, longan trees, mango trees and jackfruit trees, which can be seen everywhere in the village.

There are several jackfruit trees in the village that are about several decades old. They were broken during typhoons before, but they are still growing well now and bear fruit every year, but the villagers don’t like to eat jackfruit very much.

There is also a litchi tree that is several decades old, nearly a hundred years old, right next to the village. The trunk is very large and the crown is very lush. When she was a child, Chen Wenjiu was particularly greedy for the litchi on this tree.

It's just a pity that this litchi tree has an owner, and the litchis it produces were picked and sold by the owner before, so she couldn't eat them at all.

Chen Wenjiu still likes these older trees in the village. She likes this kind of very thick and big trees. She has dreamed of living in a tree house in the shape of a tree hole since she was a child.

Maybe she watched too many cartoons when she was a child, so she fantasized that one day she could live in such a house, which must be very cool.

But unfortunately, the older she gets, the more she finds that there are very few trees that are so thick that people can live in. Even if there are such big trees, they are hundreds of years old. It is impossible to hollow out the trunk to make a small house.

Even so, Chen Wenjiu still likes this kind of old trees. They are also very beautiful and likable-she likes trees that don't require her to sweep leaves.

"Jiujiu, come out and play?" Chen Wenjiu was walking and looking at some flowers on the roadside. When she passed a house, an old lady greeted her.

"Grandma." Chen Wenjiu heard someone calling her and greeted her politely.

This old lady was not the one who gave Chen Wenjiu a coconut before. Anyway, the locals called the elders of the grandparents generation as grandpa and grandma, so Chen Wenjiu directly called the other party "Grandma".

"Jiujiu, come in and eat bananas." The old lady greeted with a smile.

"No, no." Chen Wenjiu waved her hand. She didn't crave bananas at all now, and didn't want to eat bananas and plantains.

"The pomegranates in our house are ripe. Do you want to eat one?" The old lady pointed to a guava tree in her yard and said to Chen Wenjiu.

This old lady's home didn't have any fruit trees like lychees and longans, but she did have a guava tree. Chen Wenjiu thought the tree was probably 20 to 30 years old. Anyway, she saw the tree in her home when she was a child.

"Grandma, is your pomegranate tree still there?" Chen Wenjiu asked curiously.

You know, there were many guava trees in the village before. After all, guava seeds germinate easily, and their saplings grow very fast and well. If humans don't pull them out, they will grow up easily.

Later, more and more people built houses in the village, and as people's living standards improved, they could eat more and more fruits, so they didn't care much about guava trees. When they saw saplings growing somewhere, they would pull them out or cut them down.

After all, sometimes those guava saplings grow in the wrong place, and people are afraid that they will get in the way when they grow up, so they simply don't let them grow.

The guava tree in grandma's house has red flesh. When Chen Wenjiu was a child, she was tired of eating red flesh guavas, followed by yellow flesh, and finally white flesh.

Chen Wenjiu still buys white flesh guavas from the fruit stalls outside, and she will never spend money to buy red and yellow flesh guavas.

When she was a child, she didn't eat them if she wanted to, and she would feed them to pigs or throw them away. It was already very good for her to spend money to buy white flesh guavas.

"This pomegranate tree is growing so well, it's good to keep it." Grandma said with a smile.

This guava tree has been a favorite of the children in this area since childhood. Now that the children have grown up, they don't like to eat guavas very much, but grandma still wants to keep it as a memory.

Chen Wenjiu raised his head and looked at the guava tree. The tree was full of fruits, some of which had just grown, and a few might be ripe, and there were white flowers on the branches.

Guava is a plant that blooms all year round, and the fruit can be eaten all year round. This guava tree is growing well. Chen Wenjiu stretched out his hand to pull down the branch under the gaze of the old lady, and picked a guava that had just ripened.

This kind of guava that has just ripened, with a little red inside but not completely red and not soft, tastes very good. Even Chen Wenjiu, who is tired of eating red guava, thinks it is delicious.

Guava, it is still delicious to eat this kind of guava with red flesh inside but green skin outside. She doesn't like the kind with yellow skin outside.

"Delicious?" The old lady looked at Chen Wenjiu taking a bite of guava and said happily.

"Yeah, delicious." Chen Wenjiu nodded, took out a handful of milk candy from his pocket and handed it to the old lady, saying, "Grandma, you have some candy too."

"Grandma, I'm leaving." Chen Wenjiu said goodbye after giving the milk candy to the old lady. She planned to continue walking and treat it as exercise.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Chen Wenjiu chewed on a guava while recalling the time when she went back to her grandmother's house with her mother when she was a child. Then she and her brother went up the mountain with her mother and picked guavas from her cousin's house next door.

In Chen Wenjiu's memory, the guava was particularly large. She and her brother each picked one, which was about the size of a duck pear and a half. She and her brother each picked one, but the brother and sister only ate half of it and couldn't eat it anymore.

The remaining half of the guava was thrown to the pig by her mother. After that, Chen Wenjiu felt very sorry. It was a pity that she didn't finish eating such a big guava after so much effort.

She finished the guava that was almost as big as her fist in a few bites. After Chen Wenjiu strolled for a while, she went to the hotel. It's better not to hang around outside in the middle of the day.

"Chef He, what are we having today?" Chen Wenjiu had just returned to the store. After wiping the sweat off her forehead, she ran to the restaurant to ask about the menu.

"What do you want to eat?" Chef He asked calmly.

"What do I want to eat?" Chen Wenjiu thought for a while and said, "Something sweet and sour to whet your appetite? How about sweet and sour pork with pineapple?"

He Zui said, "Do you want another lotus shrimp?"

"I want shrimp with tomato sauce." Chen Wenjiu said.

"Okay." Chen Wenjiu thought for a while and said, "Another serving of pineapple fried rice."

He Zui nodded to show that he understood and asked her to wait. He would prepare these dishes for her to have a good meal in a while.
