Chapter 256

Lifting the green net that covered it, the bright light of the flashlight hit the branches, and the half-ripe cherries that were red and yellow among the green were densely packed, which was particularly pleasing.

And the person in charge had a good memory; after turning two or three times to find the angle, he soon let the light capture a cherry that was red and translucent.

In the dead of night, it was clearly just a cherry, but at this moment, he found the feeling of being a thief.

He looked left and right, reached out, and plucked the cherry.

And after he drilled out of the net, holding the flashlight to look at the cherry left and right, he really loved this red color!

The sweet scent of the cherry seemed to linger, and he put it into his mouth without hesitation.

The next moment—

!!!

The person in charge didn't sleep all night.

He tossed and turned; the workers in the shed turned over, snored, talked in their sleep, picked their feet, scratched their itches, all kinds of things, but he was the only one who wasn't sleeping.

The taste of that cherry seemed to still be in his mouth; he tossed and turned until midnight, and then he carefully spat out the cherry pit with the tip of his tongue.

How should I put it?

Even this action revealed a reluctance to part with it.

How could there be such delicious things in the world?

How did he know that this was a cherry that had been moistened by the spiritual energy at the door day and night? That taste was more than 10 times better than the vegetables sold before!

Capturing his heart was just easy.

And early in the morning, when he turned around after walking around the construction site with a haggard expression, he found Song Sancheng standing under the cherry tree, carefully observing something?

His heart was shocked!

He thought, could it be that my stealing a cherry last night was discovered?

But then he thought again, it was just a cherry; when he worked for others before, he had picked pears at their door, and it was nothing.

But the more he thought about it, the more his heart felt like it was beating a drum.

But at this moment, he just stiffly squeezed out a smile and walked up: "Brother, what are you looking at here?"

Song Sancheng happily took the cigarette in his hand and smiled at this moment: "I'm wondering why the cherries should be ripe this year, but they aren't... And why is this net a bit messy, and the leaves seem to have been pulled by someone..."

The more he looked, the more puzzled he was, but the cherries on top were yellow and red, clearly not ripe. Everyone who has eaten unripe cherries knows what they taste like.

It shouldn't be!

The person in charge felt guilty.

After he ate that cherry last night, he turned around and drilled into the net at the bottom, pulling it left and right with a flashlight in the middle of the night.

However, after tossing for a long time, he didn't get a single ripe one; those half-ripe ones were still hard when touched, so he really couldn't pick them.

At this moment, being noticed by Song Sancheng, he could only say casually: "Maybe squirrels pulled them at night... There are many squirrels in our family's area!"

That's true.

It was just cherries; Song Sancheng didn't take it to heart and was soon diverted: "Are the squirrels growing well? Their fur is fat and bright! I tell you, in early spring, each one is like a gray mouse, pulling the wall to bask in the sun every morning; look at how healthy they are!"

"They just raised themselves to be chubby and fluffy; if they didn't always want to steal things, they would be quite likable."

Looking at the net on the side again: "It's hard to say if it's really them... But do squirrels eat cherries?"

The topic returned to cherries again, and the person in charge hurriedly interrupted: "Steal things? What things do they steal?"

"A lot, they don't pick anything. Vegetable leaves... You say it's strange, don't squirrels eat nuts? Even if they steal a handful of chestnuts, I don't think it's anything."

"But what are they taking every day? If I hadn't looked carefully, I would really think they were mice."

However, precisely because these things were harmless, the family didn't care at all, and this recipe was outrageous enough.

The person in charge listened absent-mindedly, and at this moment, looking at the cherry tree on the side again, he suddenly asked: "Brother, I think the fruit on your cherry tree should be quite good; will you sell it when it's ripe?"

Song Sancheng waved his hand: "You don't look at how many people are in my family; this cherry tree isn't enough for them to eat—why, do you want to eat?"

The person in charge blushed and hurriedly said: "It's not that I haven't been home for a long time, my wife, my children..."

Song Sancheng thought it was something!

"If you want to eat, come and pick when it's ripe! But these cherries can't be stored; wait until the day you are ready to go home to pick them."

Since he was so straightforward, it made the person in charge look too dishonest in the middle of the night last night.

His ears were burning, and he stammered at this moment: "I came out for a walk last night and saw a red one on the tree, so I couldn't help but taste it; it's really delicious."

Since he said so, Song Sancheng also pondered: the taste of things at home this year is unusual; it must be that Tantan used some good materials.

But this child hides it tightly...

Logically, these cherries must be really good, and shouldn't be given away so casually.

But he is in charge of his house!

This person in charge is smiling and polite every day, and any request is fine.

But, the matter of building a house must be done with care.

So he still smiled: "What's that? Just come and pick when it's ripe."

While looking at a few on the side, and looking at the chirping birds on the side, he couldn't help but worry—

This is too attractive to birds; fortunately, a net was covered, otherwise, there would definitely be nothing left this year.

It's no wonder that the appetite of the few treasures is getting bigger and bigger; they are busy chasing birds and rabbits in the field every day!

Things are good, but there are many "little thieves" attracted; I'll add a few big bones to the few treasures later!

Song Sancheng kept this in mind, and just as he was walking back to have breakfast, he heard a crazy dog barking in the distance!

"Woof!"

"Woof woof!"

The sound got louder and louder, and the whole family was stunned—

"Is this... catching a thief?"

Song Youde was even more startled: "In the vegetable garden!" He touched the hoe and ran to the garden.

Song Tan watched and couldn't help but be shocked—her grandpa is at this age, and he's still holding a hoe? Whether he gets hurt or hurts someone, this matter is not easy to handle!

She hurriedly followed.

However, when they crossed the road and came to the field on the lower edge, they saw Sanbao jumping around in the vegetable field quickly, its agile posture not hurting a single leaf, and it had a colorful wild pheasant with long tail feathers in its mouth.

Good heavens!

Song Tan called out good heavens!

This pheasant wasn't dead; if it was dead, it was caught by her dog, so she shouldn't have to take responsibility, right?

The two dogs were even more excited.

Sibao had the chicken in its mouth, and Sanbao was barking, walking to everyone with its head held high.

Seeing Sibao spit out the chicken in its mouth, it raised a claw and pressed the beautiful colorful feathers of the other party firmly under its feet!

Goodnight.

Late at night, I'm hungry.

The long-tailed pheasant is really beautiful! Last winter, someone here caught one and posted it on TikTok, and then... everyone knows, it was a crime.

I'll take the time to see if the picture is still there...
