Little Farm Among the Clouds

Uncle Li is none other than Li Lishen, the fat uncle who bought vegetables last time. Li Lishen didn't show up for several days. He thought Xiao Yechi had forgotten him, but Ye Chi recognized him at a glance. He laughed happily: "Xiaoyechi, do you still remember Uncle Li?"

Ye Chi said seriously: "Ah, I remember Uncle Li every day."

"Do you remember every day?"

"En." Ye Chi nodded heavily.

Li Lishen was even happier, and reached out to touch Ye Chi's little head: "What a cute little guy, Uncle Li asked you, is your grandpa at home?"

"Yes, basking in the sun."

"Then take me to your grandfather, will you?"

"Okay, you come in."

Ye Chi stretched out his small hand, pulled Li Lishen's sleeve, and shouted loudly while pulling Li Lishen towards the yard: "Grandpa, grandpa, Uncle Li is here!"

Ye Guosheng, who was smoking tobacco in the courtyard, heard the shout and looked towards the gate of the courtyard. He saw Li Lishen at a glance, and immediately knocked the tobacco pipe against the stone to knock off the tobacco residue, took the pipe in his hand, and came up to him. Opening his mouth, Li Lishen shouted enthusiastically first: "Hello, Uncle Ye."

"Okay, okay." Ye Guosheng pinned the pipe on his waist and asked, "Comrade Li, have you had lunch yet?"

Li Lishen smiled and said, "It's still early for lunch."

"Let's eat here later."

"Let's talk about it, I have something else to talk to Uncle Ye about." Li Lishen put a box of pure milk in his hand on the ground.

Ye Guosheng asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Lishen stood up and said, "It's just about grocery shopping."

About grocery shopping?

Ye Guosheng's face was serious.

Ye Chi also raised his small face to look at Li Lishen. He knew that Uncle Li bought vegetables from his grandfather and sold them in supermarkets. Grandpa said that if people who go to the supermarket like grandpa’s dishes, they can make more money in the future. He thinks that grandpa The dishes are the best, and he said confidently: "Uncle Li, do you still want to buy grandpa's dishes?"

Before Ye Guosheng could speak, Li Lishen answered Ye Chi first: "Yes."

Ye Guosheng was slightly taken aback.

Ye Chi continued to ask: "How much do you want to buy?"

Li Lishen said: "The more the better!"

Ye Chi was instantly happy.

However, Ye Guosheng looked at Li Lishen in disbelief. Li Lishen understood what Ye Guosheng meant, and explained to Ye Guosheng that that day he went back to the vegetable and fruit supermarket with vegetables, dried peppers, and corn on the cob, and specially set up a pure natural In the column, Ye Guosheng's fresh vegetables, dried peppers, garlic, corn, etc. are placed in the column. Because the appearance is not good enough and the price is set high, no one pays attention to it at first.

Li Lishen also wondered if he miscalculated the thoughts of the people in the city. As a result, the next morning, two old people found this column, recognized this kind of pure nature, and immediately bought a lot. , Many people wanted to buy it immediately, and half of it was sold that day.

Another day later, as soon as the two old people entered the vegetable and fruit supermarket, they went straight to the pure natural column to buy Ye Guosheng's vegetables. They also said that the pure natural taste is different from the pseudo-natural ones. The ingredients were all delicious, so I immediately bought more than half of the remaining vegetables. At night, the natural column was empty, and many regular customers came to inquire and order.

Li Lishen said happily.

Ye Chi listened with a half understanding.

Ye Guosheng asked in disbelief, "It's really sold out?"

"Not only that, but also reservations."

"There are still reservations..." Ye Guosheng repeated in a murmur. In fact, he has always felt that the things grown in the ground are worthless. He used to give them to relatives and friends. When I sell it, I still feel that my vegetables are not as big and tall as others, but I didn’t expect people in the city to like them, especially the word “reservation”, which he thinks is a high-end and arrogant word. Son, when it was applied to him, he was always shy and didn't know how to answer Li Lishen's words for a while.

Li Lishen guessed the simple psychology of an honest man like Ye Guosheng, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ye, do you really not know how good your vegetables are?"

Ye Guosheng said, "It's not much."

"You are really too modest. Just your bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse, and spinach. I burned and ate them the same day I brought them home. My family ate one more steamed bun than usual!"

"Is it so delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious!" Li Lishen also really felt that the pure natural vegetables taste better. He himself ate two more steamed buns than usual. This time he came here not only to buy vegetables, but also to buy vegetables. After eating, I couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Ye, do you have any more food?"

"Yes, I have."

"Sell it to me." Li Lishen said hastily.

"It's all on the mountain, and there aren't many left."

"As much as you want, I'll help you dig." Li Lishen was very active.

"That's not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Li Lishen said with a smile: "In the future, we will always cooperate. If you can't dig it out, I will help you dig it out."

"That's a waste of your precious time."

Li Lishen laughed and explained to Ye Guosheng that although he works in a government unit and has opened two or three vegetable and fruit supermarkets, he is actually very idle. He is not a mainstay in the government unit, and the vegetable and fruit supermarket is his wife. As the head of the house, his only function is probably to be able to eat. He became fat after eating, and his wife urged him to lose weight every day, so he could just dig vegetables to lose weight.

After hearing this, Ye Guosheng said, "You're not fat."

Ye Chi then said: "Uncle Li is not fat, Uncle Li is super pretty!"

Li Lishen asked Ye Chi: "Xiao Yechi, is Uncle Li really super pretty?"

Ye Chi nodded, and said very seriously and solemnly: "It's really beautiful!"

"Won't Uncle Li look better if he's a little thinner?"

Ye Chi tilted his head to think carefully, and then replied, "I don't know either."

Li Lishen laughed and said, "Then Uncle Li will lose weight and show you how good he looks, okay?"

Ye Chi nodded.

"Okay, then let's dig vegetables and lose weight."

"No!" Ye Chi said.

"Why?" Li Li asked in amazement.

"I have to find Brother Fang first."

"Who is Brother Fang?"

"My brother Fang is my best friend."

Li Lishen actually didn't like children very much, but he was not normal to Xiaoyechi, from the first time he talked to Yechi, to Yechi's warm greetings every time, he liked this Xiaoyechi more and more, knowing that Conversing with children will be full of naive and messy things, but he just likes to talk to Ye Chi a few more times, and now he asks: "Little Ye Chi, do you still have a best friend?"

Ye Chi nodded heavily.

"Then call your best friend over, and let's dig vegetables together."

"Brother Fang doesn't know how to dig vegetables."

"You teach him."

Ye Chi thought about it, what Uncle Li said made sense, nodded immediately, and after talking to Ye Guosheng, he ran to Mrs. Lu's house, saw Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu, and greeted him very politely. Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu The old man was happy when he saw Ye Chi, not only because Lu Mingfang's condition was getting better and better, but also because Ye Chi was really like a little sun, warm wherever he went, it was difficult for people to like it or not.

Hearing that Ye Chi came to find Lu Mingfang to dig vegetables in Jingshan, they specially found a small shovel for the two children, and let the two children go. After Ye Chi got the small shovel, he was very happy, and talked with Lu Mingfang all the way. .

"Brother Fang! This little shovel is great!"

"En." Lu Mingfang knew that these two small shovels were specially ordered by his grandfather for him and Ye Chi to use.

Ye Chi stared intently at the small shovel and said, "I can dig a lot of vegetables with it!"

"Ah."

"Dig a lot of vegetables and sell them for a lot of money!"

"Ah."

"If you sell a lot of money, you can spend it for grandpa, mom, and aunt." Ye Chi paused for a moment, and then said, "You can also buy things for Brother Fang!"

Shopping for Brother Fang——Lu Mingfang glanced at Ye Chi when he heard the words, and after pursing his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, watching Ye Chi's bouncing walk, and said: "Don't jump, be careful of falling down."

"Okay, then I'll go well, brother Fang and I will go well together."

"Ah."

Ye Chi and Lu Ming let go for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Fang, do you know how to dig vegetables?"

"Yes." Lu Mingfang replied.

"Okay, let's dig together."

The two children came to Ye Guosheng's house together, and then followed Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen to the foot of Jingshan Mountain. Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen dug vegetables together, and Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang also started digging together.

Ever since Lu Mingfang became good friends with Ye Chi, he played with Ye Chi every day, at the foot of the mountain, and at the top of the mountain together. He also watched Ye Guosheng and Ye Chi dig vegetables. He wanted to dig for a long time, but he kept holding back. Didn't say anything, at this time he was holding a small shovel in his hand, and he was finally ready to dig.

Although Lu Mingfang's face was still as serious as usual, he was very happy in his heart. He took a small shovel and shoveled off a coriander, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. When he was about to shovel the second coriander, Ye Chi suddenly said : "Brother Fang, no!"

Lu Mingfang looked at Ye Chi.

Ye Chi said: "Coriander is to uproot the roots."

Lu Mingfang took a shovel and slashed at the soil.

Ye Chi said again: "Brother Fang, no, you will hurt the garlic sprouts next to you."

Lu Mingfang gently shoveled the soil.

Ye Chi said again: "Brother Fang, that one is not coriander."

Lu Ming changed it and shoveled another one.

Ye Chi continued: "Brother Fang, you are holding the shovel wrongly, you have to—"

Before Ye Chi could speak, Lu Mingfang threw the shovel far away with a "snap", turned his face to the right, and ignored Ye Chi, Ye Chi was stunned for a moment, blinked his bright eyes twice, got up and ran to the distance .

Squat down to pick up the shovel, then squat down in front of Lu Mingfang, lowered his head to demonstrate, dug out a coriander, and said: "This is coriander, which is different from other vegetables. It has a fragrance. If you don't recognize it, Come out, you can smell it, and you will know if it is coriander."

Lu Mingfang made a sullen face and remained silent.

Ye Chi blinked his eyes twice again, and said, "Brother Fang, you ignore me, you are angry, and I am also angry, I will go dig vegetables by myself."

Lu Mingfang: "..."

After Yechi finished speaking, he turned around, turned his back to Lu Mingfang, and began to dig coriander, shepherd's purse and other vegetables he could recognize, and ignored Lu Mingfang. Lu Mingfang looked at Yechi's back, then at the small shovel on the ground, and then Looking at Ye Chi's small back, he looked at it for a while, but Ye Chi didn't look back.

He picked up the shovel and followed Yechi's example to pinch the coriander leaves first. He smelled a distinct smell, and it was indeed coriander. He followed Yechi's example again and dug twice to find a whole coriander. He happily patted Ye Chi.

Ye Chi turned around.

Lu Mingfang handed Ye Chi a piece of coriander.

Ye Chi immediately opened his eyes wide and said, "Brother Fang, you dug right!"

Lu Mingfang pursed his lips.

Ye Chi said happily: "Yes, this is coriander."

Lu Mingfang asked: "Are you not angry anymore?"

Ye Chi said: "I'm not angry."

Lu Mingfang slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

Ye Chi took the coriander that Lu Mingfang handed over, and asked: "Brother Fang, don't be angry, don't lose your temper."

Lu Mingfang nodded.

"Then we're still good friends."

"Ah."

"Let's dig vegetables together."

"Ah."

"Then let's begin."

"start."

After less than a minute of awkwardness, the two children reconciled, squatting together, digging all kinds of vegetables with their heads down, Ye Chi taught Lu Mingfang while chatting with Lu Mingfang, to be correct, it was Ye Chi who spoke, Lu Ming listened and dug for a while, Ye Guosheng not far away shouted: "Ye Chi."

Ye Chi turned his head and replied: "Grandpa."

"You've been digging for a long time, come and drink some water." Although Ye Chi always worked with Ye Guosheng, Ye Guosheng didn't ask him to do a lot of work, for fear that Ye Chi would be exhausted. For example, now, he brought Water, snacks and yogurt replenish Ye Chi.

Ye Chi quickly said, "Okay."

Ye Chi dropped the shovel and ran to Ye Guosheng. When he came back, he was holding a children's thermos in his arms. He sat with Lu Mingfang on the stone pier next to him, handed the thermos to Lu Mingfang and said, "Brother Fang, you drink water."

Lu Mingfang said: "You drink first."

"You drink first."

"You drink first."

Ye Chi was no longer polite, and took a sip of the thermos cup first, and then passed the thermos cup to Lu Mingfang. Lu Mingfang, who was always called a clean freak by Mrs. Lu, took the thermos cup, drank a couple of sips, and then Sitting on the rocks with Ye Chi to bask in the sun leisurely, while watching Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen who are also sitting and resting.

Although Lu Mingfang met Li Lishen, Ye Chi still wanted to introduce him to Lu Mingfang, saying, "Uncle Li is here to buy our food!"

Lu Mingfang said, "I know."

"But you don't know that he wants to buy us a lot of food!"

"Do you want to buy a lot?"

"Yeah! I want to buy all the vegetables for my grandpa and me, but my grandpa and I don't have many vegetables, so he can only buy a little. When the vegetables that my grandpa and I planted at the foot of the mountain grow , you can sell them all, and then my grandpa and I will have money.”

"Ah."

"However, my grandpa and I have no money now."

"..."

"In a few days, my grandfather and I will sell little yellow chickens, and we will have money again."

"You want to sell the little yellow chicken?" Lu Mingfang asked.

"Well, there are a lot of little yellow chickens in my family now."

"How much is a lot?" Lu Mingfang asked curiously for the second time.

Ye Chi thought for a while and replied, "There are a hundred of them! Brother Fang, do you want little yellow chickens?"

"Yes." Lu Mingfang nodded: "I want to raise a little yellow chicken."

Ye Chi said bluntly: "Yes, but you have to pay. Now the little yellow chicken is still young, and it costs five yuan a piece. After a few days, it will cost ten yuan a piece. Brother Fang, you have money." ?"

Lu Mingfang: "..."
