"Who is it? Come in, the door is open!" A friendly voice came from inside the door.

At the same time, there was a sound similar to gravel hitting wood.

Su Ruobai carried her cross-body bag and walked into the Xiao family's gate.

The Xiao family's house is very large, a typical northern residential courtyard.

There are three rooms in the main house and three rooms in the east and west wings.

The Xiao family's yard is also very large. Except for the stone-paved ground in front of the house, the rest of the area has been cleared and various vegetables are planted there.

On the iron wire between the east and west wings, there are red peppers and unknown mushrooms drying.

There are a lot of dried vegetables being dried in the bamboo sieve on the millstone next to it.

……

The whole house was tidy and prosperous.

……

It's afternoon work time and there are not many people at home.

There was only a woman in her early fifties sitting on a wooden block picking beans.

She was wearing a blue coarse cloth top with a slanting collar, pants of the same color, and a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles that she had made herself.

……

Aunt Xiao was very happy.

Because her old son is coming back.

My favorite thing to eat is the tofu she makes.

Now, she was holding a winnowing basket and picking beans there in the afternoon sunshine.

She had to quickly pick out some good ones to make, just in time for her son to come back tomorrow and eat freshly brewed ones.

This brat hasn’t been back for almost two years.

If I hadn't scared him this time and threatened to kick him out of the house if he didn't come back, he wouldn't have come back.

This brat is so cruel.

I was picking beans when I heard a crisp sound.

She didn't get up either.

He responded casually.

So he asked someone to come in.

She was still wondering because there were no such polite people in their village.

It was that group of educated youth who had entered the courtyard and were calling for help.

The person who came in was a pretty young lady.

She is really beautiful.

"Auntie, is the old captain at home?" Su Ruobai asked again while looking at the woman in front of him who was in a daze.

"No, he's at work at this time. If you want to see him, you have to come at noon or in the evening." The old lady looked at the girl and thought she was pretty.

He didn't argue with her as usual.

It's time to go to work now, so her old man must be in the fields.

Isn’t this asking knowingly?

"What do you want from him? I'm your aunt. Just call me Aunt Xiao." Aunt Xiao's eyes never left the girl while she was talking.

He is good-looking and a little thin, but there is no need to worry about him, he is easy to take care of.

His eyes are clear and his attitude is generous.

Oh, the more I watch it, the more I like it.

"Whose family are you from? Why have I never seen you before?" Aunt Xiao stopped picking beans now.

Put down the dustpan in your hand.

Wipe your hands on your apron.

He brought two stools, gave one to the little girl, and sat on the other himself.

"My name is Su Ruobai, and I'm a new educated youth!" Su Ruobai took it, spread it out and sat down.

This kind of stool is also common in later generations.

The key is that it is easy to clean, takes up little space, and is convenient for travel.

……

"An educated youth!" Aunt Xiao was delighted at first, then she looked at Su Ruobai carefully.

Seeing that her clothes had several patches, his brows relaxed even more.

"They just arrived today, right? My old man said that several educated youth came today, and they are all good kids.

What do you want from my old man? Tell me, maybe I can help you! "

Aunt Xiao looked at the child and became more and more satisfied.

It looks good. It looks so good.

Su Ruobai felt uncomfortable when Aunt Xiao looked at her.

I had no choice but to take things out of my bag and put them in small bags wrapped in brown paper.

Take them out one by one and put them in the winnowing basket next to them.

"It's like this, Aunt Xiao, I'm from Hai City. I thought I'd grow my own vegetables here, so I bought a lot of seeds at the agricultural machinery station and wanted to give them to our team. I wonder if that's okay?"

"I didn't know what seeds were suitable for our area, so I bought a little bit of everything.

I asked the technicians and they said that we can basically grow anything here, except vegetables, which can only be grown in the summer when the temperature is suitable.

Take a look..."

Before Su Ruobai could finish her words, Aunt Xiao grabbed her hand.

Su Ruobai endured it again and again.

I didn't throw him out!

Everything about this era is good, except that she doesn't like others touching her.

"You mean seeds? Seeds from Hai City?" Aunt Xiao looked surprised?

Su Ruobai nodded.

She understood the joy.

A tiny seed grows into edible grains, vegetables, and fruits...

That is the hope of life...

"Yes, they are all seeds. I bought a lot of seeds, but not much of each. I don't know how to grow them!

I was thinking, I'll give some to our team, and if anyone grows one, please bring me along."

"My girl, please wait a moment, wait a moment..." Aunt Xiao looked at the little girl in front of her with bright eyes.

How come it looks even more beautiful!

Looking at Su Ruobai was like looking at a big baby.

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the door.

"Tiedan, Tiedan..." He started shouting at the top of his lungs towards the door!

A drop of sweat appeared on Su Ruobai's forehead. Aunt Xiao has a really good lung capacity.

"Grandma, what are you doing?" After a while, a naked little boy of five or six years old came out from nowhere.

"Go find your grandfather and tell him I have something important to ask him!"

"hurry up!"

"I know..." The child didn't even enter the house and ran away.

……

"Su Zhiqing, are you used to living here?" Aunt Xiao saw the little girl just sitting there bored.

Just take the initiative to find topics to talk about.

"Habit." Su Ruobai nodded.

Two words solve the problem.

It's pretty good. I beat someone up, took the money, and no one said anything.

"Oh, okay, then how old are you?" Aunt Xiao continued to ask. How can we chat like this?

"eighteen."

"Eighteen is good, eighteen is good. Do you have a partner?"

"No." Su Ruobai frowned.

Why is Aunt Xiao asking these questions!

Aunt Xiao looked at the little girl with her brows furrowed so much that wrinkles appeared on her face, but she was not angry.

This little girl must be anxious. It's true that she hasn't found a husband at the age of 18.

……

"Your home..." Aunt Xiao, who was taking a roundabout approach, was about to ask when the old captain came back.

Before he even entered the door, he started yelling: "What's going on? Why did you have to call me back? Can't we talk about it tonight? Calling me back now will have a huge impact..."

"Su Zhiqing is here too. You old woman, why don't you explain it to me clearly?" After seeing Su Ruobai, the originally loud voice lowered a little.

Aunt Xiao didn't tolerate him either: "If I call you back, it must be something big. I wouldn't call you if it wasn't something big!" She rolled her eyes after saying that.

He's just an old man, not even a high-ranking official, but he already has an influence.

"What's going on? I'm still busy in the fields." The old captain took out an enamel basin and scooped water to wash his face.

The sun is shining brightly now and it is too hot.

I sweat even when I'm not moving.

Not to mention he had just come back from the fields.

"Su Zhiqing said she bought a batch of seeds from the Hai City Agricultural Machinery Station. Do you think this is a big deal?"
