Little Farm Among the Clouds

Ye Guosheng's first reaction was that Li Lishen had gone to the wrong gate, and before he could speak, Ye Chi had already shouted enthusiastically: "Uncle Li."

Li Lishen, who was standing outside the courtyard, responded, "Hey!"

"Uncle Li, why are you here?"

"I'm coming to see you."

"Come and see me." Ye Chi instantly felt a sense of being valued, and he said with even greater enthusiasm, "Then come in quickly, come in quickly."

Ye Chi quickly opened the courtyard door, and Ye Guosheng followed.

Li Lishen called out very politely: "Uncle Ye."

Ye Guosheng responded repeatedly, invited Li Lishen into the yard, turned around and went into the kitchen to pour water for Li Lishen, only after entering the kitchen did he realize that the house didn't have many guests, and he didn't even have any utensils for entertaining people, so he brushed the water immediately. He bought two cups, made a cup of tea now, and served it to Li Lishen.

Li Lishen quickly stood up, took both hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ye, thank you, Uncle Ye, you are too kind."

"It's not a good tea, I grow it myself." Ye Guosheng said.

Li Lishen asked in surprise, "Uncle Ye, do you still grow tea?"

Ye Guosheng smiled and said: "They are all planted blindly. If they are not planted well, they will be planted by themselves. Anyway, they will drink by themselves, and they will not be able to get on the stage. Don't be disgusted."

Li Lishen tasted it quickly, the taste was really not good, but it was better than the fragrance, it was very good, he boasted a few words truthfully, put down his cup, and looked around Ye Guosheng's small courtyard.

The small yard is not big, but it is neat and clean, and it has a sense of space. On the side of the room, there are strings of fiery red peppers, yellow jade jade, white garlic and strips of dried beans, etc., which are very simple. The taste makes people feel calm.

Li Lishen turned his head to look at Ye Guosheng and asked, "Uncle Ye, you planted these peppers and corn cobs all by yourself?"

"Yes." Ye Guosheng replied.

"so much."

"Not much. More in the first two years."

"Then you don't need to buy anything to eat and drink?"

"Well, anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm alone." Ye Guosheng said truthfully: "The mountains are also empty, and the land is also empty. I just grow food in different seasons, and I don't need to buy it at all."

"Have you finished eating?"

"I can't finish it. I give it to my son, daughter, and relatives every year. If I can't finish it, I make some pickles and dried vegetables." Every year, Ye Guosheng sends many dishes to his son and daughter, especially to his son Ye Hongwei. Zhong saved Ye Hongwei a lot of money, but he still couldn’t finish it, so he didn’t grow cheap Chinese cabbage this year, so he just bought a net bag for one or two yuan, saying: “Just take out the vegetables this year sold."

"Why did you sell it this year?"

Ye Guosheng glanced at Ye Chi beside him, smiled and said, "Because I'm going to raise a grandson this year."

"No wonder." Situations like grandparents and grandchildren living with grandchildren abound in China, so Li Lishen took it easy and didn't bother to ask, and said instead: "Then what do you mean, Uncle Ye, will continue to grow The food is sold?"

"Yes."

"Then you might as well sell it to me."

"No problem." Ye Guosheng said with a smile, anyway, he is now a vegetable seller, and he can sell anyone.

Seeing that Ye Guosheng agreed so simply, Li Lishen knew that the old man had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained to Ye Guosheng that although he worked in a municipal office, in his spare time, he and his lover opened a vegetable and fruit supermarket .

Originally it was just to earn some extra money, maybe because he and his wife managed well, the vegetable and fruit supermarket grew bigger and bigger, and had already opened a branch in the city, and he was more concerned than before, thinking about expanding his business. After asking everyone if they want to buy natural bamboo shoots, he followed him to Jingshan Town, surveyed the nearby situation, and got to know the lively Xiaoyechi. During the conversation with Xiaoyechi, he had a burst of inspiration.

Later, Xiaoyechi gave him a handful of green onions and green vegetables, which tasted really good. At that moment, he decided to buy vegetables from Ye Guosheng.

Li Lishen said: "Uncle Ye, that's what I mean, do you take it? I'll buy some of your vegetables at a price higher than the market price, and try them out. How about it?"

"That's not right." Ye Guosheng said, "Nowadays in the rural vegetable base, plastic greenhouses have whatever vegetables you want. Why do you insist on buying mine?"

"You're so natural!"

"Pure natural?" Ye Guosheng didn't understand for a while.

Li Lishen explained: "You don't use fertilizers or pesticides, do you?"

"That's right, it's not good to apply fertilizer. The crops on Jingshan don't need to be fertilized, but how did you know?"

"Your little grandson told me, it just so happens that this is the selling point I've been looking for." Li Lishen didn't hide his thoughts from Ye Guosheng: "I'm going to open a pure natural and pollution-free vegetable store in the main store." Fruit column, monopoly on your vegetables and fruits, see the effect, if the effect is good, we will continue to cooperate, what do you think?"

Ye Guosheng was stunned for a moment, and only then did he understand why Li Lishen came here.Before he could answer, Ye Chi suddenly said, "Okay!"

Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen looked at Ye Chi at the same time.

Ye Chi whispered, "Okay."

Ye Guosheng asked, "Did you understand what your uncle said?"

In fact, Ye Chi couldn't understand a lot of Li Lishen's words, what he understood was: "Uncle Li wants to buy our food, our food is good."

"That's right." Li Lishen said: "Nowadays the word 'pure natural' is very valuable, but if these three words are used, the price will be very high, but in fact many of them are not pure natural, just a gimmick, and you The ones are all natural and seasonal, such fruits and vegetables are safe for pregnant women to eat, what do you think, Uncle Ye?"

"But now there are no crops in the field?"

"It doesn't matter, give me what you have. If there is no column, it will be empty. Anyway, what we sell is pure natural and seasonal."

Ye Guosheng thought for a while, and then asked: "Then I can go to the market and sell it to others?"

"Of course." Li Lishen said, "I'm just one of your many customers, but—"

"But what?"

"However, if the vegetable and fruit column is effective, you can't go to the market to sell it. That's why I came here to tell you, because there may not be enough vegetables for a family to sell."

"How is it possible? It's not a good thing." Ye Guosheng said with a smile. He really thinks that some vegetables grown in the field are worthless things. If it wasn't for raising Yechi, he probably gave them away People are done.

Li Lishen understood Ye Guosheng's thoughts all his life, and he didn't forcibly change his mind. He smiled and said about his own affairs: "Then Uncle Ye, we'll just make a deal like this."

"Okay, anyway, whoever sells sells."

"Well, then I will give a deposit of 1000 yuan now."

Speaking of Li Lishen was about to take money out of his pocket, Ye Guosheng immediately stopped and said: "No, no, no, no deposit, whatever food you want, as long as I have it, just come and buy it."

"All right, I'll get some food from you now."

"There are no more vegetables now, only some spinach, garlic sprouts and coriander in the field."

"Okay, then give me some spinach, garlic sprouts and coriander." Li Lishen pointed to the corn cobs, dried peppers, garlic and dried beans on the wall, and said, "Sell me some of these too."

"You also want these?"

"Yes!" Li Lishen said firmly.

"Alright then, I'll give you all of these."

"No, no, I'll buy it."

Ye Guosheng said: "It's not a valuable thing, but I couldn't finish it last year, so I made it dry."

"Who said that it will be worth money in my supermarket."

Li Lishen insisted on giving money to Ye Guosheng, Ye Guosheng didn't say any more, took some corn cobs, dried peppers, garlic and dried beans from the wall, picked up a hoe and brought Li Lishen to Jingshan with Ye Chi Feet, in a green field, pull garlic sprouts, coriander and spinach.

During this period, Ye Guosheng introduced to Li Lishen Jingshan and the several acres of land at the foot of Jingshan. Regions are never used.

Even so, he can't finish the vegetables he grows every year, especially the crops in Jingshan. I don't know if it's because of the different soil quality, or what's going on. The crops on the mountain grow very fast and strong, and the growth cycle is shorter than that at the bottom of the mountain.

When Ye Guosheng introduced to Li Lishen, he and Ye Chi had pulled out a basket of spinach, garlic sprouts and coriander, and then looked at Li Lishen and asked, "Is there too much?"

"Not much, not much, all right, I'll take them all away."

"Ok."

Ye Guosheng went home with a basket on his shoulders, added corn cobs, dried peppers, garlic and dried beans, and weighed them one by one. Ye Guosheng didn't know the market price, but Li Lishen knew, so he immediately gave Ye 210 yuan. Guosheng.

Ye Guosheng quickly declined and said, "This is too much!"

"Not much at all." Li Lishen pointed to the two pockets of vegetables on the ground and said, "We all came here according to the market purchase price, Uncle Ye, from now on we will follow the market price, it is clear and easy to do business, what do you think?" Sample?"

"You also sent so many gifts over here."

"I gave the gift to Xiaoyechi. This kid is so annoying. If he hadn't chatted with me, I wouldn't have thought of this column. Give it to the kid, Uncle Ye, don't be polite to me."

Seeing what Li Lishen said, Ye Guosheng also accepted 210 yuan and sent Li Lishen to the gate of the courtyard with Ye Chi. Li Lishen put his things in the trunk, started the car and said goodbye to Ye Guosheng.

Especially say something to Yechi: "Goodbye, Xiaoyechi."

Ye Chi waved his little hand and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Li."

Li Lishen rolled up the window with a smile and started the car.

Watching Li Lishen's car leave, Ye Chi raised his face and asked, "Grandpa, will Uncle Li come to our place to buy vegetables from now on?"

Ye Guosheng said: "If the sales are good, I will come to buy vegetables."

"If it sells well, will you come to buy vegetables every day?"

"Yeah." Ye Guosheng didn't know if he could sell well, and he always felt that his things were ordinary and couldn't be put on the table, but Ye Chi asked, and he answered along Ye Chi's line.

"Then we can make money at home every day?"

"Ah."

"Great!"

Ye Guosheng also thought it was great, Ye Chi was simply a little lucky star, if it wasn't for the kid who loves to talk and laugh, he probably wouldn't have met Li Lishen as a good guest.No matter how Li Lishen's fruit and vegetable supermarket sales are now, at least he earned 210 yuan today, and it's all thanks to Ye Chi.

210 yuan may not be a big deal to others, but it is Ye Guosheng's source of income. He was so happy that he couldn't describe it. At this moment, a few acquaintances came along the road.

The acquaintances greeted Ye Guosheng, and Ye Guosheng also smiled and asked Ye Chi to call uncles, aunts, grandparents, and Ye Chi immediately called out politely.

The acquaintances originally had some prejudice against Ye Chi as Ye Hongtao's son, but when they heard Ye Chi's shout, they all replied politely, and asked Ye Guosheng who was driving just now.

Ye Guosheng said: "Come here to buy vegetables."

"Why did you come here to buy vegetables? I brought you milk and apples."

"I came here to buy bamboo shoots before, and then I chatted with our Yechi. I like my Yechi very much. When I came here, I brought something to Yechi."

When Ye Guosheng said this, his face showed pride, but the acquaintances felt that Ye Guosheng was putting gold on Ye Chi's face. What can a six or seven-year-old child know? They still don't like Ye Chi, and they think they don't like Ye Chi The a la carte money on the mountain, but Ye Guosheng is a nice person, and everyone is much gentler, but they don't praise Yechi like they praise other people's children.

Ye Chi didn't speak.

Ye Guosheng knew that these people didn't like Ye Chi, so his smile gradually froze. He touched Ye Chi's head and said goodbye to his acquaintances. He felt really uncomfortable. When he looked down at Ye Chi, Ye Chi said, "Grandpa, they don't like me."

Ye Guosheng was taken aback, the child still felt it, and then heard Ye Chi say: "But, grandpa likes me, grandpa Lu likes me, grandma Lu also likes me, Brother Fang likes me even more."

Ye Guosheng was taken aback when he heard this, and looked straight at Ye Chi. Living alone in this world, he lives for himself and for those he cares about. There is no need to care too much about other people's opinions. It's as simple as that Many adults don't understand the truth, but it is Ye Chi's simple idea. Ye Guosheng smiled and said, "Yes!"

Ye Chi also laughed, and then said: "Brother Fang likes me very much, and even gave me a piggy bank."

"Ah."

"Grandpa, I'll give brother Fang a Wahaha drink later, okay?"

"it is good."

When he got home, Ye Chi dismantled Wahaha and gave Ye Chi two bottles. Ye Chi turned his head to look at the apples and buns, hesitated and said, "Grandpa, there are so many apples and buns."

Ye Guosheng smiled and said, "Yes."

"Then, that, and give Brother Fang apples and buns too, okay?"

"You want to give it to Brother Fang?"

"Yeah." Ye Chi nodded and said, "Brother Fang is my friend."

"it is good."

Ye Guosheng gave Ye Chi apples and buns, and Ye Chi walked towards Lu Mingfang's house with apples, buns and Wahaha in his arms. Before he arrived at Lu Mingfang's house, he saw Lu Mingfang standing in front of the second floor window facing Look at the big flower dog.

"Brother Fang!" Ye Chi shouted happily, wanting to wave to Lu Mingfang, because he was holding something in his hand and couldn't wave it, so he could only stamp his little feet excitedly and shout: "Brother Fang!"

Lu Mingfang followed the sound and looked over, his eyes brightened slightly.

Ye Chi continued to shout crisply: "Brother Fang, I'm here to find you."

"Yeah." Lu Mingfang pursed his lips, and was about to walk towards the stairs.

Ye Chi was afraid that he would go downstairs and said, "Brother Fang, don't come down, I'll go find you!"

Lu Mingfang stopped immediately.

Ye Chi carried apples, buns and Wahaha into the courtyard of Lu's house, walked into the living room, then climbed up to the second floor, walked over panting, and stuffed everything in his arms into Lu Mingfang's.

Lu Mingfang looked at Ye Chi suspiciously.

Ye Chi smiled and said, "Brother Fang, I'll give you something to eat!"

Lu Mingfang pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."

Ye Chi said: "I haven't eaten yet, let's eat together, okay?"

Lu Mingfang nodded.

Ye Chi and Lu Ming put the two bottles of Wahaha, two apples and two small breads in his arms on the window sill, reached out to pick up a piece of bread, wrapped the gear along the dough, opened the packaging bag, and took out a fragrant and soft Bread, took a bite hard, and said with a happy face: "Wow, it's delicious!"

Seeing this, Lu Mingfang did as well, and took a bite. In fact, he had eaten bread that was much softer, sweeter, and more fragrant than this bread, but there was no bread that was as delicious as this bread, so Ye Chi asked him if it was delicious. When it was delicious, he nodded heavily.

Ye Chi smiled happily.

Lu Mingfang also pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Ye Chi lay on the window sill and Lu Mingfang happily said, a few days ago that chubby Uncle Li came to buy his food, and his grandpa made 210 yuan, so happy, Ye Chi said: "So happy, I want more in the future." Work and make money!"

Ye Chi smiled, his smiling eyes were crooked, healed and beautiful, Lu Mingfang followed suit, and at this moment some children's voices sounded from downstairs.

"Hey, isn't that Liar Jing's son, Little Liar Jing Ye Chi?" A child pointed to Ye Chi on the second floor and shouted, "Look, Ye Chi is over there."

"That's right, you're a liar!"

"Little liar's father is a liar, and he hasn't paid back the money he owes to my family!"

"His father is a big villain, and he is a little villain!"

"Little villain, little villain, Ye Chi is a little villain. He is a liar, he is a liar, Ye Chi's father is a liar, he is a liar, father, mother, but no one wants Ye Chi! No one! No one! I don't know who is malicious. My child, I tricked Ye Chi into a song and sang it.

"..."

These words and this song came to the ears of Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang without any accident. The two children looked down at the same time and saw four or five children aged seven or eight, one of them was Ye Yanbo.

Ye Chi, who was still laughing just now, stopped laughing all of a sudden, and shouted downstairs, "No one wants you, you scoundrels." After scolding, he received a wave of malicious slander from four or five children. Ye Chi was a little bit Unable to hold back, he looked at Lu Mingfang, afraid that Lu Mingfang would dislike him as a little bastard, but he couldn't refute those children's words, so he lowered his head silently.

At this time, Lu Mingfang, who was holding Wahaha, gave Wahaha a meal on the window sill, turned around and walked downstairs.

Ye Chi turned his head and asked, "Brother Fang, where are you going?"

It was rare for Lu Mingfang to speak: "I'll beat them!"
