On the hillside a few steps away from my grandma’s house, there is a century-old ginkgo tree. Every summer, this place becomes my paradise.

Just after lunch, my mother forced me to take a lunch break again. There are so many friends waiting for me to play, where can I sleep? I waited for my family to fall asleep, so I picked up my shoes and crept out. As soon as I walked out of the room, I suddenly felt happy, ha! Finally escaped, liberated!

I invited my friends to join me, and soon five friends gathered under the ginkgo tree. Suddenly, a ginkgo fruit fell down, and it hit Yang Yulei on the head. . "Smart guy" Zhang Jiachang rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a plan: "I heard from adults that ginkgo fruits are delicious. How about we beat some fruits and roast them before eating them?" "Okay!" Everyone cheered unanimously. "But the tree is too tall, how can we get the fruit?" Zhang Jiachang asked. "My grandma has a long bamboo pole at home. You wait, I will go back and get it." I said excitedly.

I rushed back to my grandma's house, opened the door gently, and heard a "squeak" sound. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak loudly. My palms were sweating, and I thought: Amitabha Bless me, don't let my parents hear it! After waiting for a while, I felt relieved when there was no movement. I carefully picked up the bamboo pole and ran to the ginkgo tree.

"I'll do it." Li Tie volunteered, picked up the bamboo pole and swung it, a large number of leaves fell down, but not a single ginkgo fruit was hit. "Idiot, look at me." Liu Yu grabbed the bamboo pole and swung it violently. "Gudong, gudong" fell four ginkgo fruits. "Okay, well done!" The partners praised in unison. We fought harder and harder, six, nine, twelve...

"Stop! What are you doing? Who asked you to fight?" An old man with a mustache appeared out of nowhere. , yelling at us and rushing towards us with a cane. "No, run!" It was too late to say, but then, everyone was like mice meeting a cat, running as fast as they could. As we ran, we shouted: "Help! We're beating someone!" The old man saw us acting rogue, so he had to leave. However, we detoured back to the ginkgo tree, picked up the scattered ginkgo fruits, and happily went to Zhang Jiachang's house. .

Zhang Jiachang’s parents opened a plastics wholesale department. They were busy in front of the store and had no time to pay attention to us, so we slipped in through the back door. Zhang Jiachang took out a basin, poured some water, and ordered: "We must first peel off the pulp of the ginkgo fruit and wash the core before burning it and eating it." We immersed ourselves in the work, and the ginkgo pulp was really delicious. It was difficult to peel off, and my hands hurt when I peeled it off, but no one complained.

It took a while before we finished peeling the pulp. I carefully took off the kettle from the stove and placed the ginkgo core on the charcoal hole. "Bang", "pop" and "crack", the ginkgo fruit exploded due to heat. "What's going on? What's the sound?" Auntie heard the sound and came over. We were just about to run away, but unexpectedly, "Smart Ghost" Zhang Jiachang came up with a quick idea: "It's okay, it's okay, we are clapping our hands." "Oh, I thought something happened." She muttered and walked away, leaving us hanging. I felt relieved.

Along with the wisps of white smoke, we smelled a fragrance. The ginkgo fruit is finally ripe. Peel off the milky white shell and you will find tender green flesh inside. Take a bite and it will be smooth and so soft! It smells so good!

"Jiang Yifei! Jiang Yifei!" I was eating with gusto when I suddenly heard my mother calling me, Oh my God! In the blink of an eye, it was already six o'clock. I ran out and saw my mother looking around. Damn it, there will be some good "fruit" to eat tonight!

When I ran to my mother, I didn’t expect my mother to burst into laughter. What’s going on? "Look at your face!" I looked at the car's rearview mirror and felt dizzy! After an afternoon of madness, the sweat was mixed with different colors, black, gray, green... I turned into a "tabby cat".

The fragrant ginkgo is so evocative! When can I go have fun under the ginkgo tree again?
