Little Farm Among the Clouds

Seeing that Lu Mingfang was silent, Ye Chi said again: "Brother Fang, if you don't have any money, you can owe it first, and then pay it back to us when you have money, okay?"

Lu Mingfang: "..."

"Is this not good?" Ye Chi asked again.

"..."

"Then, what should I do?" Ye Chi looked distressed, scratching his head with his little hands, he wanted to raise brother Fang's little yellow chicken, and also wanted to make money for grandpa, what should he do?His worried little brows knit together.

At this time, Lu Ming let go: "I have money."

Ye Chi immediately looked at Lu Mingfang and asked, "Then do you want to buy my little yellow chicken?"

Lu Mingfang nodded.

"Do you want to buy one for ten yuan?"

"Ah."

Ye Chi's distress was swept away immediately, and he happily discussed with Lu Mingfang to show that he actually cared about his friend: "Brother Fang, then I'll catch you the biggest little yellow chicken and raise it! I'll give you rice back!"

Lu Mingfang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Ye Chi was so happy that he couldn't help but say "Then I'll go talk to grandpa", then turned around and ran to Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen, and said to Ye Guosheng, "Grandpa, brother Fang wants to buy our little yellow Chickens, we choose the big ones for Brother Fang!"

Ye Guosheng asked in surprise: "Want to buy little yellow chickens tomorrow?"

Ye Chi nodded.

"You don't give it to him?"

"No."

"Aren't you good friends?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you give him two little yellow chickens to raise?"

"Because the little yellow chicken belongs to grandpa, not mine. Grandpa wants to make money!"

"You think so?"

"Yeah." After Ye Chi nodded, he asked again: "Is Grandpa wrong?"

"Yes." Ye Guosheng said with a smile: "This batch of little yellow chickens were hatched by grandpa alone, and they belong to grandpa. When the eggs are hatched again next time, they will belong to grandpa and Ye Chi."

"Well, grandpa, can you let me release brother's biggest little yellow chicken?"

"Yes!" Ye Guosheng said firmly.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Ye Chi was very happy, and said, "Grandpa, then I'll go dig vegetables."

"Go."

Ye Chi ran away happily, and Li Lishen asked, "Uncle Ye, do you still have a little yellow chicken? Is it the kind of little yellow chicken that just broke its shell?"

"Yes."

"Which chicken farm did you buy it from?"

"I didn't buy it from a chicken farm, it was hatched by my three hens."

Li Lishen was greatly surprised: "Uncle Ye, you know this."

"It's not a big skill." Ye Guosheng said with a smile: "In the past, there were no chicken farms with heated kang houses. Didn't they hatch their own chickens? As long as the conditions are created, the hens will nest themselves. I didn't want to hatched, but I can’t finish the eggs at home, so I want to hatch chicks and raise them.”

Li Lishen grasped the key words and asked, "You can't finish your eggs?"

Ye Guosheng said, "Yes."

"Is there any more now?"

"Yes, I have."

"Sell them to me."

"But the eggs at home can't hatch eggs anymore."

At the beginning of hatching the little yellow chickens, Ye Guosheng had eliminated a batch of unfertilized eggs by observing the eggs with light.During the hatching process, according to the same method of "canning eggs", he eliminated the eggs that could not be hatched. He let the three hens hold the eggs that could hatch, and put the eggs that couldn't hatch at home for food.

Li Lishen also understands this, but he doesn't care about it, he said: "I just buy eggs that can't hatch."

"What do you buy eggs that can't hatch?"

"Eat."

"..." Ye Guosheng found out, but Li Lishen wanted to buy everything to eat, and it happened that he and Ye Chi couldn't finish it, so he nodded after thinking about it and said, "Okay, I'll sell you some, and the rest Leave it for my grandson to eat."

Li Lishen immediately agreed.

Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen dug for vegetables for a while, filling up the three baskets, Ye Guosheng suggested to stop for a while, Li Lishen then stopped, and called Ye Chi home with Ye Guosheng.

Ye Chi turned around and said, "Brother Fang, let's go home, okay?"

Lu Mingfang said, "Okay."

Ye Chi immediately got up, pulled Lu Mingfang up, took Lu Mingfang's arm, followed Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen towards the house, and when they got home, Ye Guosheng and Li Lishen began to sort the vegetables, weigh them, and put the stored fresh eggs, All the pickled salted eggs, dried vegetables, etc. were given to Li Lishen.

Li Lishen looked at the two full linen pockets, feeling extremely happy, and immediately took out six brand new red RMB from his pockets, Ye Guosheng said: "Is there no change? I can't break it."

"Then it won't break, you take all the money."

"How can I do that? I'll get you some change at the small supermarket." Ye Guosheng took the money and was about to walk towards the small supermarket in the town. Li Lishen hurriedly grabbed Ye Guosheng and said, "Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye , next time, I will definitely come to buy your food next time."

"How long will it take?" Li Lishen bought most of the vegetables that Ye Guosheng planted before selling, and the stored eggs, salted eggs, dried beans, garlic, and dried peppers, etc. When the vegetables were on the market, he had nothing to sell to Li Lishen. Ye Guosheng said truthfully, "I don't know when the next time will be?"

Li Lishen said firmly: "I'll be over in half a month."

Ye Guosheng said: "After half a month, no vegetables will be ripe."

"You have bamboo leaves and zongzi. Maybe the supply will exceed the demand."

"..."

"After the bamboo leaves are sold out, the amaranth and garlic on your mountain will mature. I must come here every now and then to buy vegetables. Uncle Ye, don't you think so? I think I can lose my weight."

"Yes." Ye Guosheng said with a smile, "You are right."

"Then take the 600 yuan and don't give change."

"That won't work." Ye Guosheng was still unwilling, so he went to the supermarket, bought a pack of cigarettes, gave the change to Li Lishen, and returned the pure milk that Li Lishen brought to Li Lishen.

Li Lishen said: "The milk is for you and Xiaoyechi."

Ye Guosheng said: "I delivered it last time."

"Last time was last time, this time is this time, Uncle Ye, just take it, isn't it just a box of milk?" Li Lishen mainly liked Ye Chi too much, and always wanted to give Ye Chi something , I originally wanted to buy toys, but today I was in a hurry, and I didn’t see any toys in the supermarket, so I brought a box of pure milk over here.

But Ye Guosheng didn't accept it: "I accepted all the presents you came to pick up for the first time, how can I accept them again and again, what are you talking about, hurry up and take them back."

In the end, Li Lishen did not pass over Ye Guosheng, not only took back the pure milk, but also took a pack of cigarettes from Ye Guosheng. Looking at the simple look on the old man's face, he suddenly felt that it was a blessing to be able to work with such a person. a comfortable thing.

When he looked down at Ye Chi again, Ye Chi stretched out his small hand to say goodbye to him, Li Lishen smiled immediately, with an indescribable tranquility and clarity in his heart, he also said goodbye to Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng, and then put the things in the In the trunk of the car, when sitting in the driver's seat, he waved to Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng before starting the car.

Watching Li Lishen's car go away, Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang turned to look at Ye Guosheng. Ye Guosheng took out two lychee-flavored lollipops from his pocket and handed them to Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang. He was the one who went to buy cigarettes just now. At that time, by the way, buy food for the two children.

Ye Chi reached out to take it.

Lu Mingfang didn't move, he looked up at Ye Guosheng.

Ye Guosheng said: "Ming Fang, take it."

Ye Chi had already torn off the lollipop wrapper, put the candy in his mouth and began to sip it. Seeing that Lu Ming could not take the lollipop, Ye Chi leaned over and said, "Brother Fang, take it, it's delicious."

Ye Guosheng then said, "Yes, take it, it's delicious."

Lu Ming looked at Ye Chi, looked at Ye Guosheng, hesitated for a while, and finally reached out to take it. This was the first time he took food from someone other than Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu and Ye Chi. It felt very different. , couldn't help but look at Ye Guosheng.

Ye Guosheng smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, take it and eat it. I helped grandpa dig vegetables for so long. What's the point of eating a lollipop? Go, go into the yard to bask in the sun, and Grandpa Ye will make you lunch."

"Go." Ye Chi stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Mingfang into the yard.

After entering the courtyard, Ye Guosheng went into the kitchen and started cooking. Ye Chi pulled Lu Mingfang to the stove and sat in front of the stove. Ye Chi turned his head and said, "Brother Fang, you sit here and I'll light the fire." , The rice I cook over a fire is super delicious."

Lu Mingfang pursed his lips and looked at Ye Chi sitting in front of the stove, adding firewood and wiping matches. After a while, a raging flame ignited in the stove. This was something Lu Mingfang had never seen before. The entire Jingshan Town except Ye Guosheng probably used induction cooker, gas or gas, so Lu Mingfang was very surprised.

Ye Chi explained the ground pot and stove hole to Lu Mingfang, halfway through the explanation, he didn't know how to explain it, so he said, "Grandpa, tell me, tell me."

Ye Guosheng laughed, and then introduced to Lu Mingfang the floor pots, stove holes, chopping boards, kitchen cabinets, etc. in the kitchen. In order to make Lu Mingfang feel a little bit more involved, Ye Guosheng went to the cellar and picked out the sweet potatoes stored years ago. One, throw it into the stove and burn it. When the meal is ready, the sweet potato will be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Lu Mingfang frowned at first, and when he smelled the sweet scent of sweet potatoes, his small brows stretched unconsciously. When Ye Guosheng broke open the sweet potatoes, revealing the glutinous red flesh inside, his eyes were straightened.

Ye Chi quickly brought over two small spoons, handed one to Lu Mingfang, and said, "Brother Fang, try it, it's very sweet."

Lu Mingfang took the spoon and watched Ye Chi scoop up a spoonful of sweet potato flesh, but he didn't move.

"Brother Fang, why don't you scoop it up?" Ye Chi brought a spoonful of sweet potato pulp to Lu Mingfang's mouth and said, "Brother Fang, eat this, eat and see."

Ye Guosheng said beside him: "Mingfang, eat and see."

Lu Mingfang finally couldn't hold back anymore, opened his mouth, and took a bite, instantly the sweet, glutinous and soft fragrance pervaded his mouth, his brows and eyes were unknowingly gentle, Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng asked at the same time: "Is it delicious?"

Lu Mingfang nodded without hesitation.

Ye Guosheng said: "Then continue to eat."

Lu Mingfang replied: "Okay." Then he scooped up the flesh of the sweet potato with a spoon. He intended to give Ye Chi to eat after scooping it up. He replaced the spoon Ye Chi used, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Ye Chi would just eat it. He ate it into his mouth, he froze for a moment, then frowned and smiled.

"It's delicious." Ye Chi sighed deeply after taking a bite of the flesh of the sweet potato, and then took another spoonful to Ye Guosheng and said, "Grandpa, you can eat it too, and you can eat it too."

"Okay, grandpa." Ye Guosheng took a bite and said, "Ye Chi and Ming Fang, let's eat. After eating, let's start lunch. Ming Fang will have lunch with us."

Before Lu Mingfang could answer, Ye Chi said first: "Okay!"

Ye Guosheng said: "Did I ask you? You are welcome."

Ye Chi held the spoon, covered his mouth with his small hand and giggled shyly.

Ye Guosheng asked Lu Mingfang again: "Mingfang, eat at Grandpa Ye's at noon, ah."

Lu Mingfang nodded.

"Okay, Ye Chi hasten to finish eating, and go to clear the table after eating, let's eat."

"Have a meal."

Ye Chi quickly ate half of the sweet potatoes, then ran to the yard, skillfully placed the stools in front of the dining table, then took three pairs of chopsticks, pulled Lu Mingfang to sit at the dining table, he ran back to serve the steamed buns, and finally Sit obediently at the dinner table.

After a while, Ye Guosheng came up with two dishes and one soup, and together with Ye Chi entertained Lu Mingfang, just as Lu Mingfang picked up the chopsticks, Ye Chi looked at the sliced ​​meat on the table and exclaimed: "Wow, grandpa has meat to eat."

"Yes." Ye Guosheng replied, "Eat quickly."

"Grandpa, there are two portions of meat." Usually there is only one portion of meat or none, even if there is meat at home, grandpa will store it and eat it slowly.

"Yes." Ye Guosheng replied with a smile.

"How come there are two servings of meat?"

"Grandpa cooked all the fresh meat at home."

"I've done it all, so we won't have anything to eat from now on?"

"In the future, you can eat every day, eat quickly, and go to pay off the debt with grandpa after eating."

Ye Chi asked in surprise, "Grandpa, have you saved enough 1000 yuan?"

Ye Guosheng nodded.

Ye Chi opened his eyes wide and asked, "Then we won't owe any debts in the future?"

"Well, I don't owe any more." It was not too bad at first, but today Li Lishen came to buy some vegetables, and it was not too bad, and he finally owed 1000 yuan, so he felt more at ease.

"Grandpa, will we earn more in the future?"

"Yes."

"Uncle Li will come to us to buy vegetables next month, so we can earn more."

"It depends on whether he comes or not."

"He will definitely come!" Ye Chi said with certainty: "Grandpa, we will have more and more money in the future, which can be given to aunt and Linglinghua."

Ye Guosheng laughed, put a piece of meat for Yechi Luming, and said: "Okay, then I will definitely come. Come on, eat more meat. After eating, we will pay back the money."

"Okay." Ye Chi took a piece and put it in, then chewed, then turned to Lu Mingfang and said, "Brother Fang, the meat made by my grandpa is super delicious."

Lu Ming took a sip of the snack.

Ye Chi said: "You are eating too much."

Lu Mingfang put a whole piece of meat into his mouth.

Ye Chi still wanted to talk, but Ye Guosheng spoke first: "Ye Chi, don't talk about eating, eat well."

Ye Chi stopped talking immediately, but he couldn't be idle, he still turned his head to look at Lu Mingfang, he ate meat and vegetables and looked at Lu Mingfang, as if he was provoking Lu Mingfang, Lu Mingfang looked at Ye Chi with a greasy mouth and bulging cheeks It looks like a fat fish boy, very cute, he wanted to laugh, but he held back, and still ate slowly, sandwiching sliced ​​meat with green vegetables and tofu, it looks very good, when Ye Guosheng served him vegetables, he was very excited. Say thank you politely, but still frighten old lady Lu and old man Lu who came to look for Lu Mingfang.

"Mingfang." Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu shouted together.
