Pei Yu put down his hoe in surprise and came out. When he walked to the border, he walked around the fog wall built high by the fog from the beginning to the end. The small farm was square and square, with a full eighty square meters. It showed a damp and cold stone wall.

After being overjoyed, Pei Yu couldn't help thinking that there would be more land for him to cultivate.The small farm has a warm climate and abundant rainfall. The four seasons here are like spring, and the sunlight is bright enough, making it suitable for growing all kinds of fruits and vegetables.Pei Yu plans to grow some fruits that are not commonly eaten: dragon fruit, strawberries, and some watermelons.

His plan to buy fruit trees was on the agenda, and Pei Yu went to the market the next day, just in time to go to the market, and the market was crowded early in the morning, with all kinds of chickens, ducks and geese screaming one after another, people buying and selling and chatting Sounds, cries of all kinds are mixed together.Pei Yu looked around, and when he saw a stall with green saplings, he walked over.The farmers who sold crops of vegetable seedlings, flowers, and fruit tree seedlings in the market were all in one place. Pei Yu looked at seven or eight houses from the beginning to the end, and finally saw some selling dragon fruit seedlings.

Dragon fruit is generally propagated by cuttings, and direct cuttings with a small branch is the fastest way to reproduce, because the survival rate of cuttings is quite high, as long as they fall to the ground, they can take root.Pei Yu spent more than 70 yuan to buy a bunch of arms-thin branches. When the dragon fruit tree grows up, it looks like a fusion of crab claw orchid and cactus. Its flowers are very similar to the fleeting epiphyllum, and the petals are white and tender. Huge, with a golden core, very beautiful, with a subtle fragrance, and the fruit afterward is also delicious.

The vendor put the dragon fruit branch in a sack and handed it to him, and Pei Yu spent another red note.He continued walking to look for strawberry seedlings. Strawberries are not suitable for planting in summer, because the harsh sunlight and high temperature can easily wilt them.But on a small farm, there's no such worry, Pei Yu thought. He could grow strawberries in the shade near the creek.

Fortunately, this is also the largest market in the town. There will always be people selling strawberry seedlings. Pei Yu picked more than 30 strong seedlings with green leaves and tall stems and leaves. .After buying the watermelon seeds and the black gauze for paving the floor, Pei Yu only had 50 three yuan left in his hand.

Pei Yu returned home with big and small bags. Before Song Yingli and Pei Kun found out, he hurriedly put all the things in the farm space.He squeezed the money in his pocket, ran out of the house again, bought two ice cream cones at a cold drink shop in a nearby street, and then walked home quickly.

Pei Kun just came down from upstairs.

"Xiao Kun, I'll give you ice cream." Pei Yu earned a little money himself, and he wanted to buy some delicious food for his younger brother. The weather is so hot now that eating ice cream, sweet and soft is enough.

When Pei Kun heard this, his eyes popped out: "Ice cream?" Pei Kun knew that the family had no spare money, so he never asked Song Yingli for ice cream on weekdays.

"Come on, eat quickly, it will melt later." Pei Yu handed it to him, his palms were wet.

"Thank you, brother!" The child held it carefully on tiptoe.

He went up to the second floor and gave another ice cream in his hand to Song Yingli. Song Yingli was sitting by the window wearing pearls, her complexion much better.

"Mom, I bought ice cream for you."

Song Yingli smiled and waved her hands: "Ayu eats, mom doesn't eat cold food." She said so, Pei Yu had to eat by herself, and Pei Kun also ran upstairs, eating until her cheeks bulged, and he sat down. Beside his mother, he ate slowly and obediently. If he didn't eat it soon and it would melt, he could still eat it for a long time.

When it was close to noon, the postman delivered a letter to their home. Pei Yu saw that the envelope was specially made by Liangying Middle School, and immediately knew that it was his final grade and the class teacher's comment report.

He opened the envelope in front of Ms. Song and Pei Kun, and took out the report card inside—it was printed out on a whole sheet of A4 paper. 112 in Chinese, 109 in English, 139 in mathematics, 263 in comprehensive science, and 241 in comprehensive literature. This time, his total score in all subjects ranked fifth in the whole level, and eighth in science, which is quite a good result.

The following is a detailed list of his last semester's end-of-term and this semester's monthly exam results. For the sake of fairness, the school ranked all students after weighting the exam scores multiple times to obtain the final ranking.

Pei Yu's comprehensive ranking is 19th in the liberal arts and 12th in the sciences—this means that he can be in the same class as Cheng Zexian!The specific classification situation will be announced a week before the start of the school year, but everyone knows that there will always be a science experiment class.

"Brother is so amazing!" Pei Kun's eyes widened excitedly, looking at the numbers in the report, his admiration for his elder brother rose again.

"Ayu is awesome." Song Yingli was also happy. No matter how hard the family is, her two children will go to a good university.Pei Yu is in the second year of high school when school starts, and part-time jobs are far less important than studying.She is in much better health now, and she can go out to find a job. From now on, she has to start preparing for Pei Yu and Pei Kun's education savings for college.

In the afternoon, Pei Yu quietly entered the small farm again, planning to plant all the fruit seedlings he bought this morning.

Dragon fruit trees are bulky and have thorns when they grow up. Generally, they are cultivated in pillars, that is, concrete pillars are poured or thick wooden pillars are used to support the dragon fruit tree.

Pei Yu squatted down and planted the dragon fruit branches that had healed from the creases and wounds in the ground. Each plant was separated by a large distance, and the pillars were given to them when they grew a little longer.

Strawberry seedlings were planted along the stream. Pei Yu removed the yellow leaves, dug a hole and planted it with the original soil.He only planted three watermelon seeds because once they sprouted, the watermelon vines would cover the entire small farm.

It was dark in the small farm, and Pei Yu vaguely saw that the buds on the branches of the peach trees were getting bigger.

After dinner, Pei Yu took a shower, packed up his pajamas, paper and pens, said goodbye to Song Yingli, and went to Cheng Zexian's house three streets away.This week he went to Cheng Zi's house to study, and the lights on the street had not been repaired. Pei Yu and Ms. Song agreed to sleep there overnight, and he would go home when Cheng Zexian went to work the next day.

When the two of them were young, they often stayed overnight at each other's homes. Often during the New Year's Eve, when they played together late, they simply slept in each other's homes.But since high school, they seem to have not slept together for a long time.

"Grandma, I'm here." Pei Yu knocked on the door, and grandma opened the door for him, and when she saw him, she wrinkled her face with a smile.

"Ayu is here, come in quickly, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat it, grandma."

"Hey, the oranges are upstairs, you go up first, grandma will make mung bean soup for you two."

"Thank you grandma, don't be tired." Pei Yu closed the door, walked with grandma to the kitchen, and then turned back to the stairs and went upstairs.

When he went upstairs, he didn't see Cheng Zi. Just as he put down his schoolbag, he heard the sound of the bathroom door being pushed open. Cheng Zexian, who had just taken a cold shower, was only wearing thin school uniform shorts and a white T. Wipe your head with a towel.

Seeing Pei Yu, he was stunned for a moment, and walked over: "Sit down first, I'll do the laundry."

"Okay." Pei Yu had already sat down, he looked up at the oranges, Cheng Zexian's clothes were soaked, "Wipe the water on your body, you should pay more attention to cold water." Cheng Zexian nodded to him, Turning around and going back to the bathroom, Pei Yu heard the sound of the faucet "crashing" coming from inside, and the sound of water pouring out of the basin after a while, the fan above his head was not turned on, and a gust of warm wind blew in from the open wooden window, There is also the smell of food from the neighbor's house next door.

After Cheng Zexian finished washing and drying his clothes, he came over with two glasses of water in his hand and sat beside Pei Yu: "Have you received your grade report?"

"Thank you, Orange." Pei Yu had his own water blue porcelain cup at their house, he nodded, took out his envelope and handed it over, "Well, I'll show you."

Cheng Zexian also took out his grade report to Pei Yu. Pei Yu unfolded the paper, lowered his head to read it seriously, and then couldn't help but whispered "Wow" briskly: "Oranges are so good!"

Orange ranked first in science at the end of the period, and ranked first in the final comprehensive ranking!

Pei Yu couldn't help turning his head to look at Cheng Zexian, even more excited than him.Cheng Zexian saw that his gaze was hot and his eyes were glowing, and he had nothing to do with him, so he held back his smile and stretched out his hand to lightly press the top of his hair, then blocked his sight with his palm.

"Don't look at it like that, I'll be proud." Having said that, Pei Yu could hear a trace of shyness from his words.
