After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

Lu Jingchuan arranged for the two children to inform everyone, and then he rode a bicycle with Shen Li on it, and Duran followed beside him. The three of them walked towards the mountain with snakeskin bags and tools such as knives.

As soon as they approached the mountain, everyone smelled an enticing fragrance.

"This smells so good!" Duran looked at the peach and apricot trees on the mountain and was a little excited. "In our scientific research base in the northwest, there is no grass at all and it is very dry everywhere. If it weren't for Xiaoli's seafood transport truck, we scientists in the northwest wouldn't be able to eat fresh fruits all year round. But here on the island, there are fruits everywhere! Coming here is simply a paradise for fruit lovers!"

"Mom, if you like it, eat more. There isn't much else here, but there are abundant fruit and seafood resources. You'll have a treat when you come here." Shen Li chuckled.

On the way, Duran supported Shen Li and walked up the mountain, protecting Shen Li's belly with her palms, fearing that the small branches on the mountain would poke her beloved daughter-in-law's belly. She nodded, "The island is still better."

After coming here, she doesn't want to go back to the mainland.

Of course she was too embarrassed to say this out loud.

Finally, the family reached the halfway point of the mountain.

The last time Shen Li came here, the peaches were ripe, but the jackfruits had not yet fully grown. At this time, there were five wild jackfruit trees unevenly distributed halfway up the mountain.

The brown trunk is very dry, and the bark on the surface has some cracks. The trunk is not thick, but rather looks like a telephone pole. There are not many branches, only two or three. But without exception, all of them have lush, emerald green and thick leaves. The sun shines on the jackfruit tree, casting fine, mottled light and shadows through the layers of leaves. Below the branches, there are long, dark green jackfruits.

"Why don't I see any jackfruit?" Duran looked around.

"Mom, it's right in front of you." Shen Li chuckled.

"Is this a jackfruit?" Duran looked at the jackfruits hanging down from the tree, which were bigger than winter melons, in surprise.

She was not afraid of being laughed at by others. Although she grew up in Beijing and had seen many good things since she was a child, this was the first time she had seen such a rare fruit as jackfruit.

"That's right, the time when it matures is from June to November every year," said Shen Li.

"A jackfruit this big is even bigger than a winter melon! This small one looks like it weighs at least 10 kilograms, and this big one must weigh at least 20 or 30 kilograms?" Duran said in surprise.

At this time, Lu Jingchuan took out a military knife from his pocket, pointed the sharp blade at the largest jackfruit, and soon the root of the jackfruit was cut off. The heavy jackfruit fell into Lu Jingchuan's arms. He hugged it tightly, "Mom, this must be more than 50 kilograms."

"How do I eat this thing?" Duran looked at the huge jackfruit in Lu Jingchuan's arms with curiosity. The jackfruit was green all over and much bigger than a watermelon. It had many round bumps on it and was uneven and felt rough to the touch.

This jackfruit doesn't look like a pineapple.

Are you sure you can eat this?

"After peeling off the thick green shell, you will see the yellow fruit. The fruit inside is edible, sweet and delicious." Shen Li smiled, "When we get home later, I will make you a sticky jackfruit rice!"

Sticky jackfruit rice?

Duran had never heard of it.

"Okay, I am ignorant." Duran smiled, "You should take care of yourself later and don't get tired."

"Mom, don't worry, it won't happen." Shen Li chuckled.

Lu Jingchuan put the big jackfruit in his arms into the snakeskin bag, then picked the ripe and larger ones and put them into the snakeskin bag.

Although the snakeskin bag is quite large, after putting three things in it, there is no room for anything else.

"Let's pick these first." Shen Li looked at the big bag of heavy jackfruits, which weighed nearly 100 kilograms.

The remaining cores of these jackfruits can be put into the space, and then a large field of jackfruits will grow in the space.

"Well, let's go back." Duran was about to help Lu Jingchuan carry the big bag of jackfruits.

"Mom, you just need to help Lili go down the mountain. I can carry it myself." As he spoke, the man's long and strong arms had already lifted up the big bag of jackfruits. The muscles on his arms bulged, and the blue veins on them throbbed. With a force on his arms, the big bag of jackfruits was already carried onto his shoulders.

"I'm fine, Jingchuan. You'll get tired if you carry it like this." Shen Li felt a little sorry for Lu Jingchuan.

"We often do weight training, and sometimes we carry more than 200 kilograms on our backs. This weight is nothing to me," Lu Jingchuan said without blushing or panting, striding down the mountain carrying the bag of jackfruits.

"Xiao Li, be careful and watch the road under your feet." Du Lan stayed beside Shen Li, put his hand lightly to support Shen Li's waist, and walked down the mountain step by step with Shen Li.

After going down the mountain, Duran helped Shen Li sit on the back of the bicycle, while Duran rode the bicycle, "Xiao Li, hold me tight and sit tight."

"I'm sitting firmly, Mom, don't worry." Shen Li smiled.

Although Lu Jingchuan was walking, his speed was not slow at all. He was able to keep pace with Duran on the bicycle. He moved forward with the heavy load without getting red in the face or out of breath, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Li couldn't help but admire her man's amazing physical strength.

And so, the family returned home.

When they came back, Duoduo and Minghui also came back.

"It smells so good!" Duoduo looked at the snakeskin bag with her big, black and clear eyes. She knew that her mother had prepared delicious food for her again!

"Mom and Dad, everyone has been notified," said Lu Minghui.

"Well, well done." Lu Jingchuan put down the big snakeskin bag and placed it in the small yard.

Duran was busy moving out several square tables for dining and placing them in the small courtyard, putting them together to form a long table, and taking out benches to place around the table.

Shen Li brought a tablecloth with pink plaid lace and spread it on the table.

At this time, the two children were helping Lu Jingchuan move the jackfruit out of the snakeskin bag.

Although they both grew up on an island, they had never eaten this.

This thing is like durian, with a thick shell on the outside, and it doesn't look very delicious. Local residents rarely eat jackfruit, so no one will pick it even when the jackfruit tree is ripe.

Many jackfruit trees have rot on the trees.
