There's a gust of wind coming from the south

This happened many years later.

Zuo Xiaodao has become familiar with all the work, and has become a well-informed and capable successor, taking the lead.

After sending the little rabbit to college, Shen, who had unloaded his burden, took Nanfeng to buy a manor near the Changhuan Reservoir near Ancheng, and opened up wasteland for farming.Half my life has been ups and downs, and now I also want to experience the leisurely life of returning to the garden.

Changhuan Reservoir is surrounded by mountains with pleasant scenery, and there is also a large natural waterfall in the mountain stream.In the early years, there were often rumors of water ghosts here, so although it had great potential for scenic development, it still failed to develop.

Nowadays, everyone seems to be less superstitious about Fengjian, so the most famous thing here is "Water Ghost" to the most famous Changhuan specialty, seedless pomegranate.

Shen Shi planted many pomegranate trees in his garden.

In summer, the red trees are hung all over the branches, and at night, lighting mosquito coils, sitting under the tree with Nanfeng, drinking wine and chatting with Xiaotianer, it is very pleasant.

In autumn, it will be full of lantern-like fruits again, and he never thought of selling them. After harvesting, the owner will send the west family to taste, but Tu Yile is happy.

A small two-story building was built in the garden, just like Ancheng's house, surrounded by hyacinths.The two of them don't always live here for a long time, they only come back every now and then.On weekdays, the care of the garden is all handed over to an uncle surnamed Ma.

Uncle Ma is the only one at home.Originally, he had a son, but he went to Ancheng to work after graduating from technical secondary school, and Shen Shi had never seen him.

Faced with Shen Shi's monthly management fee of 800 [-] yuan, Uncle Ma smiled so hard that he couldn't see, and he called Shen Shi "Boss" one by one.Shen Shi waved his hand and asked him to call himself Xiao Shen.

This Mid-Autumn Festival is the time when pomegranate flowers fall and bear fruit.The holiday was so short that the little rabbit couldn't come back in time.Shen Shi and Nan Feng decided to go to the garden once they made up their minds.

The two ordered a box of hairy crabs, and moved a carload of mooncakes from 'Welcome to Guests', and drove straight out of the city as soon as they stepped on the gas pedal...

……

After distributing the mooncakes to the folks and returning to the garden, the moon was already in the sky.

Autumn insects hid in the grass and rustled and screamed endlessly. The cool autumn wind blew over the branches, sweeping away the sweet aroma of fruits.

Nanfeng held a cigarette, sat on the bamboo and rattan chair and looked up at the bright moon.There is also a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine on the low wooden square table beside her.

Shen Shi came out of the house carrying a plate of freshly steamed hairy crabs. Seeing that Nan Feng was smoking again, he couldn't help frowning.

"Didn't you make an appointment to quit smoking together?"

Nan Feng smiled, then turned his head to look at Shen Shi comfortably: "Just one."

"Stop smoking." Shen Shi grabbed Nan Feng and smoked half of the cigarette, "Eat crabs."

Nan Feng took the jug, filled the wine glass, and said to Shen Shiyang: "Have a drink first."

"Okay." Shen Shi took the wine handed over by Nan Feng, raised his head and drank it, showing a slightly surprised expression, "This wine is not bad, it's not that sweet."

"Kuang You gave it to someone who said it was sent from Shaoxing."

"Oh, he is quite filial."

Nan Feng was amused by Shen Shi, and said: "Brother Shi, I found out that you have spent all your life's poisonous tongue on Kuang You alone."

"Hey, what do you think he said good things about me?" Shen Shi took a hairy crab and opened the shell, "Oh, this crab is fat! Try it."

Nan Feng shook his head: "Eat it by yourself first, I'm too lazy to peel it, it makes my hands fishy."

Shen Shi understood immediately, he nodded, and pulled out the crab roe with chopsticks.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Nanfeng smiled: "Farewell, I'm really embarrassed."

"There's no one here, and it's not that they haven't been fed." Shen Shi handed the crab roe to Nan Feng, seeing that the other party didn't open his mouth for a long time, raised his eyebrows and said, "Or...do you want to eat something else first? "

Nanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, pretending to think.In the end, he nodded lightly: "That's fine."

As he spoke, he got up and walked into the house.She was pulled by Shen Shi and landed on the pomegranate tree.

"Just here, cool off."

……

The leaves rustled, and the pomegranate swayed on the branches with the trembling of the branches.

A ripe fruit fell to the ground, revealing bright red fruit grains.

In the intertwined gasps, Nanfeng took a deep breath and gasped, "Brother Shi... let's change the place, the pomegranate hit his head."

"It's okay, I'll block it..."

Shen Shi didn't stop moving, and with a hoarse voice, he covered Nan Feng's head with one hand.

As the night deepened and the moon became brighter, everything in the garden was shrouded in hazy light.

Not far away, there were a few scattered farmhouses with their lights on. Even though the noise of crickets provided a cover for what was happening in the garden at this time, Nanfeng still gritted his teeth as hard as he could to keep himself from making a sound.

Another autumn wind blows, and the dew on the hyacinth petals returns to the dust.

……

In the morning, the mist has not dissipated.In a daze, Shen Shi heard out-of-key singing coming from his own garden.

"Drink our wine/Dare to walk through the Qingshakou alone/Drink our wine/Don't kowtow when meeting the emperor..."

Nan Feng turned over, frowned and murmured: "It's really ugly."

Shen Shi pulled the clothes on the side and put them on his body, got up and opened the door: "You continue to sleep, I'll go and have a look."

The moment the door was opened, the fresh morning air entered the nose, which made people feel refreshed.

Shen Shi stretched his waist, and followed the singing to the depths of the pomegranate forest.

"One four seven/three six nine/nine nine return to one and follow me..."

The sun rises from the eastern mountain, and the rays of the sun shine on the pomegranate tree and the smug smiling faces of the people under the tree.The man was holding a bamboo pole and hitting the tree, then happily bent down to pick up the fallen pomegranate, broke it with his hand, buried his face and gnawed a bite.

"I'll go, it's so sweet!" The man chewed on the pomegranate, sat on the ground, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

He looked about ten years old, wearing a small vest and ripped jeans.When shaking his head and singing, his little yellow hair is very eye-catching.

"Hey, little yellow hair, stealing my pomegranate, you really don't need to pay for it?"

Shen Shiyuan wanted to scare the other party, making a joke.Unexpectedly, when he said this sentence, he was stunned.

Little yellow hair.

The boy didn't expect the owner of the house to come back, so he stood up in fright.Subconsciously hid the half-eaten pomegranate behind him.

"Brother! No, boss! My dad asked me to weed the garden!"

The young man's words interrupted Shen Shi's thoughts, and when he looked at him again, Shen Shi's eyes already had some inexplicable emotions.

"Are you the son of the old horse?" Shen Shi asked.

The boy nodded again and again: "Yes, I just came back yesterday! My father said that you are my family's great benefactor!"

"what's your name?"

"Ah, Ma Tao! Just call me Taozi!"

"Taozi..." Shen Shi called out in a low voice, and smiled to himself.

"Would you like more?" Shen Shi took the bamboo pole from the young man, hit a few more pomegranates, and threw them to the young man, "Eat it, there are still plenty."

"Don't dare!" The boy scratched his head embarrassingly, "Brother, can you not tell my father about stealing pomegranates?"

Shen Shi stared at the young man and nodded slightly.A bright smile appeared on the boy's face immediately.

"Brother Shi?" Nanfeng's voice came from behind.

Shen Shi turned his head and found that Nan Feng was also looking at the young man with a little surprise on his face.

"This is the son of Uncle Ma's family, named... Taozi."

"Taozi." Nanfeng paused, his eyes softened, "Hello, Taozi."

"Ah, hello, hello!" The young man was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two of them, and smiled and waved to Nanfeng, "You guys have fun, I, I will weed first!"

After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Shen Shi called out.

"What's the matter, master?"

Shen Shi took a deep breath, and walked slowly towards the boy.

"What do you do in Ancheng?"

The boy shook his head helplessly: "Hey, I was running in a restaurant before. Then that restaurant collapsed, so I'm coming back now."

"My restaurant can invite you over."

The boy's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?!"

Shen Shi nodded: "Yes, but there is a trial period."

"No problem boss!"

The young man couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, and grabbed Shen Shi's hand.Then he immediately realized that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly smiled and let go.

"Boss, when shall we leave?!"

"I'll explain to the hotel first, you can go directly to Mr. Wu at 'Welcome' in Ancheng."

"Okay boss!" The young man bowed fiercely to Shen Shi, and said loudly, "Don't worry, I will never embarrass you!"

"and also……"

"Say it, boss."

"You don't need to call me boss from now on." Shen Shi looked at the young man and said softly, "Just call me Brother Shi."

The bright sun illuminated the entire pomegranate grove, and the boy's smile gradually enlarged under the golden sunlight.

"Brother Shi!"

Those who are deeply missed will eventually meet you again one day.
