Little Farm Among the Clouds

Lu Ming Fang Ye Chi heard the sound and turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard. The old lady Lu and the old man Lu at the gate of the courtyard looked stunned. They never dreamed that one day their autistic, hygienic and irritable grandson would eat at someone else's house, and It was very delicious, which surprised the two old people.

The two old men were speechless for a while.

Ye Chi greeted first: "Grandma Lu, Grandpa Lu, you are here."

The old lady Lu recovered before she opened her mouth, and before Ye Guosheng put down the steamed buns, she stood up and said to the old lady, "His uncle, his aunt, come in, come in and sit down, let's eat something together." ah."

Ye Chi followed suit.

Lu Mingfang didn't speak, but looked at Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu with gentler and clearer eyes. Mr. Lu was so happy that he didn't know how to speak.

Old lady Lu was still calmer, and said with a smile: "No, no, Grandpa Mingfang has already prepared lunch, we are here to ask Mingfang to go home for dinner."

In fact, when Mrs. Lu was going to buy salt in a small supermarket just now, she met Ye Guosheng. Ye Guosheng said that he would leave Lu Ming at home for dinner at noon. Thinking that Lu Mingfang was really willing.

Ye Guosheng said: "Ming Fang has eaten at my house, let him continue to eat."

The old lady Lu and the old man Lu naturally couldn't wish for it. They wished that Lu Mingfang could mingle with all the children, laughing and laughing constantly, but they still had to respect Lu Mingfang's wishes and asked, "Mingfang, do you want to eat here or go home?"

Lu Mingfang said, "Eat here."

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu laughed, and Mr. Lu said, "Okay, you can eat here, and grandma and I will bring you two more dishes when we go back."

Ye Guosheng stopped repeatedly, but Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu still went home and brought a lot of dishes. When they were about to go home to eat, they were stopped by Ye Chi Ye Guosheng again. Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu couldn't refuse, so they sat down , Prepare the two to have dinner together.

Ye Chi ran to the kitchen with special eyesight, took two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu immediately praised Ye Chi: "Oh, our little Yechi is really considerate. Grandpa and grandma took the chopsticks."

Ye Chi continued to say considerately: "Grandma Lu, Grandpa Lu, you eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu said together: "Eat everything."

The old lady Lu specially picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Ye Chi, another piece for Lu Mingfang, and finally another piece for Ye Guosheng and said, "Brother Ye, these pork ribs are really bad, you can eat them."

"Hey." Ye Guosheng was not polite, and said, "Everyone eats, everyone eats."

"Okay, eat them all."

"Eat everything."

"..."

The three old people politely gave way, chatting and eating after a while, Ye Chi next to him took a fancy to sweet and sour pork ribs, picked up a piece with chopsticks, put it in a bowl, held it with his little hands, and ate one piece over and over again One piece, the little mouth was oily, when he turned his head to look at Lu Mingfang, Lu Mingfang was eating vegetables slowly, he leaned over and whispered: "Brother Fang, why don't you eat sweet and sour pork ribs, it's delicious."

Lu Mingfang said: "I'll eat later."

"I'll eat it up in a while!"

"..."

"Hurry up and eat, it's delicious, I can't control myself."

"..."

"Hurry up and eat."

"Then you can eat." Anyway, Lu Mingfang can eat it every day.

"I can't finish it, I'll save some for you."

Ye Chi picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and ate it with relish, as if eating some unique delicacy. Lu Mingfang, who was next to him, stared at Ye Chi for a while, lifted his chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and took a bite. I don't know why, but it seems to taste better than before.

Ye Chi leaned over and said, "It's delicious."

Lu Mingfang nodded: "Yes."

"Eat more if it tastes good, look at how skinny you are!" Ye Chi didn't feel that he was thinner or shorter at all, so he just said that casually, and continued to eat ribs.

Lu Mingfang pursed the corners of his mouth, and also gnawed on the ribs.

A plate of pork ribs and a plate of pickled meat with pickled vegetables were eaten cleanly. Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang's stomach was full. They put down their chopsticks together. Ye Chi said, "Grandpa, I'm full. I'm so full."

Ye Guosheng said: "Then take Brother Fang for a walk around, Grandpa and Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu continue to eat."

Ye Chi nodded and said, "I'll feed the big black, the little yellow chicken, and then the big yellow ox."

"Don't feed the big ox, be careful that it loses its temper and kicks you."

"I yelled at it to scare it, and it stopped kicking me."

"What if it kicks? Grandpa will feed the big ox later."

"OK then."

Ye Chi took Lu Mingfang to feed the big black chicken and the little yellow chicken, and Ye Guosheng continued to eat and chat with Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu.

Grandpa Lu saw that his eldest grandson was getting better and better, and his mental illness was about to be cured. He was so happy, and his appetite was also very good. He insisted on eating the rest of the meal with Mrs. Lu and Ye Guosheng. Grandpa Lu and Mrs. Lu wanted to wash the dishes for Ye Guosheng, but Ye Guosheng insisted on not agreeing.

In the end, Mr. Lu took back his own bowls and dishes, and firmly refused to let Ye Guosheng wash them. He must take them home and wash them himself.

The old lady Lu called Lu Mingfang: "Mingfang, let's go home."

Lu Mingfang was feeding the little yellow chicken with Ye Chi, grabbed a handful of cooked rice with wheat bran in his hand, and sprinkled it into the chicken coop. unwilling to go home.

The old lady Lu said: "Ye Chi and your Grandpa Ye are going to bed at noon, we can't disturb them, don't you think?"

Lu Mingfang nodded, scattered all the cooked rice grains in his hand to the chicken coop, then clapped his hands and walked towards Old Madam Lu, Ye Chi immediately called to Lu Mingfang and said, "Brother Fang, are you home?"

Lu Mingfang nodded.

"Then I'm free, I'll play with you."

Lu Mingfang nodded again.

"Fang brother goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Lu Mingfang followed Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu away, Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng sent them to the door, then Ye Chi suddenly ran to the yard, Ye Guosheng asked: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ye Chi said: "I haven't fed the little yellow chickens well. If I don't feed them well, they will be hungry."

"Okay, grandpa is going to wash the dishes. When we are done with our work, we will pay off the debt."

"it is good."

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Guosheng came out of the kitchen, went to the hut to get some hay for the big ox, then went into the room, found a rolled up handkerchief from under the mat, unfolded the handkerchief, and inside were some red RMB. After counting, he took out 540 and five yuan from his pocket, made up 1000 yuan, stuffed it into the inner pocket of his clothes, and said to Ye Chi beside him, "Ye Chi, let's go."

Ye Chi raised his face and said, "Grandpa, put the money away and don't lose it."

Ye Guosheng smiled and said, "No, let's go."

Ye Chi nodded, stretched out his small hand, took Ye Guosheng's hand, walked out of the yard together, and walked west along the flat road of Jingshan Town. Ye Guosheng was really afraid of losing the 1000 yuan, so he kept reaching out to touch it along the way. He was relieved when he felt the edges and corners of the money through the clothes.

During the 15-minute journey, Ye Guosheng touched him fifty times, and finally arrived at the creditor's house. He counted 1000 yuan to the creditor. Ye Guosheng let out a long and heavy breath.

Hearing the voice, Ye Chi raised his face and asked, "Grandpa, why are you sighing?"

Ye Guosheng said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Grandpa didn't sigh."

"What is grandpa doing?"

"Grandpa is exhaling."

"Why are you breathing out?"

"Because grandpa's debts are paid off." Ye Guosheng hasn't felt so relaxed for many years. This is probably the so-called "debt free". He finally stopped thinking about the debts on his shoulders all the time. He was finally in the mood to look around, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that spring had already arrived.

At this time, the road is full of greenery, white pollen flowers are dotted with greenery on the narrow green belt beside the road, when the breeze blows, the small flowers seem to be waving to Ye Guosheng in the same Yechi pool, they are extremely cute, Ye Guosheng bowed his head to Ye Chi laughed.

Ye Chi asked: "Is it all paid off?"

Ye Guosheng said, "It's all paid off."

Ye Chi asked happily: "Will we not owe any debts in the future?"

Ye Guosheng happily replied: "No more."

"Then do we still have money?"

"..." Ye Guosheng's smile froze.

Ye Chi was embarrassed for a moment, and asked with a raised face, "No more?"

Seeing the embarrassing expression on Ye Chi's tender little face, Ye Guosheng always wanted to laugh for some reason. After this kid came to him, he really looked better and better. He said, "There is one more thing."

"One more thing." Ye Chi repeated, tilting his head and wondering what he was thinking about. After a while, he cheered up again and said, "Grandpa, it's okay. We don't have any more money. Let's earn more! The money we earn again is mine!"

"That's right!"

"Go back and dig vegetables and make money tomorrow."

"Make money tomorrow!" Ye Guosheng continued.

Ye Chi happily took Ye Guosheng's hand, and jumped up and down. Ye Guosheng didn't ask Ye Chi to walk properly, but just watched him jump and dance and sing Huangmei opera, but the white-haired old lady passing by saw Ye Chi After that, he smiled and said to Ye Guosheng: "Brother Ye, your little grandson is really lively."

Ye Guosheng laughed and said, "That's right."

"It's good to be lively, lively and healthy, and lively to make people hurt."

"What are you hurting? Don't be annoying." Ye Guosheng said the truth, he doesn't need others to hurt Ye Chi, as long as he doesn't hurt Ye Chi because of Ye Hongtao.

"No matter what, I like Xiaoyechi." The white-haired old lady said directly.

Regardless of whether the white-haired old lady's words were true or not, Ye Guosheng was happy when he heard it, and couldn't help but also humbly said: "Sometimes I'm also very naughty."

"It's inevitable for children."

Ye Guosheng smiled, and exchanged greetings with the white-haired old lady, then took Ye Chi home, and when he got home, Ye Chi stretched out nine little fingers for Ye Guosheng to see.

Ye Guosheng asked, "What are you doing?"

Ye Chi said seriously: "Grandpa, now nine people like me!"

"Really?" Ye Guosheng sat on the stone pier and stroked the scattered dried beans: "Tell grandpa, who are the nine people?"

Ye Chi walked towards Ye Guosheng and said, "Grandpa, look at my hand, look at my hand, and I'll show you the number."

Ye Guosheng looked at Ye Chi's hand with a smile.

Ye Chi began to shake his little finger, counting Ye Guosheng to look at it: "Grandpa, look, the thumb of this hand is mother, the second thumb is grandpa, the third thumb is brother Fang, the fourth thumb is aunt, and the little finger is grandma Lu. The thumb of this hand here is Grandpa Lu, the second thumb is Uncle Cotton Hat, the third thumb is Uncle Li, the fourth thumb is Grandma Bai, five plus four equals nine, is it nine people?"

Ye Guosheng looked at Ye Chi's little finger, pointed to the middle finger and asked, "What finger is this?"

Ye Chi replied quickly: "Three thumbs."

Ye Guosheng pointed to his ring finger and asked again: "What about this one?"

"Four thumbs." Ye Chi replied without doubt.

"Who told you that?"

"I took it myself."

"What basis do you have?"

"I have no basis, I make my own decisions with my own hands."

Ye Guosheng actually felt that what Ye Chi said was very reasonable, but he still squeezed Ye Chi's little hand and said: "Your own hand is your own decision, but we also need to know that it has a unified name."

"What's your name?"

"The thumb is the thumb, because it is the largest of the five fingers." Ye Guosheng touched Ye Chi's tender little hand again, and said, "This can be called the second thumb, but the common name is the index finger."

"Index finger, why is it called index finger?"

"Because in ancient times, when there were no chopsticks, people used to use the second thumb to try soup, dishes, and pinch food, so they took the index finger for it, which is the food."

"What about this?" Ye Chi asked the middle finger again.

Relying on his 70 years of life experience, Ye Guosheng told Ye Chi that he couldn't help stretching as he talked, and couldn't stop when he stretched. When he was lying on the bed and preparing to take a nap, Ye Chi still opened his bright eyes, Asking Ye Guosheng to tell fairy tales, Ye Guosheng had no choice but to tell Ye Chi to sleep before he fell asleep.

After waking up, Yechi and Ye Guosheng led the big yellow ox and Dahei to the foot of Jingshan Mountain. This time, they did not dig vegetables, but pulled up the weeds in the fields up and down the mountain. Can it be sold?"

"No, but you can feed the cows."

"Ok."

The grandpa and grandson plucked the grass and put it in the basket, and kept it for the big yellow cattle to eat at night. After plucking for a while, the grandpa and grandson rested for a while, drank some water and ate an apple, sat on the rock and looked at the sky, blowing the spring wind, One afternoon passed, and the grandpa and grandson led the big ox again, and took Dahei home in the sunset.

The next day, I went to the market to sell vegetables. After four or five days of selling, all the seasonal vegetables up and down the mountain were sold out. Then I sold 75 of the 600 little yellow chickens that hatched, earning nearly [-] yuan.

Ye Chi didn't know where he heard that he could deposit Alipay in the bank to increase the interest rate, but because Ye Guosheng's elderly phone that had not been used for a long time could not install the Alipay software, he deposited 500 yuan of it in the bank.

On the way back from the bank with a passbook, Ye Guosheng felt warm in his heart. He couldn’t remember how long he hadn’t made a deposit. He used to have a little money either to supplement his family or to spend for his children, except for the 1 yuan borrowed by Ye Hongwei. Yuan Qian, this is the first time he has his own savings. He looked down at Ye Chi and said, "This is the tuition fee for your future schooling. Grandpa will save it for you until you graduate from university."

Ye Chi said: "Grandpa doesn't want you to save, I will make money myself."

Ye Guosheng laughed.

Ye Chi said: "Grandpa, aren't we going to the market tomorrow?"

"I'm not going, there's no food."

"Then when will there be food?"

"Next month, bamboo leaves, amaranth and garlic will be available for sale again."

"It's great!" Ye Chi was happy, and asked again: "Then what do we do every day?"

Ye Guosheng thought for a while and said, "Grandpa went to the field to catch insects, pinch flowers, and water. You can read and write at home, okay?"

"I'm going to catch bugs too."

"There are not many insects."

"Then I'll go too."

"Okay, when you come back from catching bugs, you have to read and write, otherwise you'll be in the first grade and you won't know anything, that would be terrible."

"Well, I called Brother Fang to read and write together."

"it is good."

After returning home, Ye Guosheng put the passbook under the pillow. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not safe. Feeling relieved, he walked out of the room and was busy in the yard as usual.

In the afternoon, the grandpa and grandson sat in the yard and idled. They usually dig vegetables in the afternoon and sell them the next morning. They have formed a good biological clock. When they are suddenly idle, the grandpa and grandson are not used to it. Ye Chi asked : "Grandpa, don't you want to go to the mountain to catch bugs?"

Ye Guosheng said, "No hurry, I'll be free for two days."

"Ok."

"How about, grandpa will teach you how to write."

"Grandpa also teach Brother Fang."

"it is good."

"Then I'll go find Brother Fang."

"Go."

After a while, Ye Chi called Lu Mingfang, and sat at the small dining table with Ye Guosheng. Ye Guosheng taught Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang to write about China, and Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang wrote on the grid with a pencil.

"Grandpa, I can write, you teach us to write two more." Ye Chi said.

"Okay, what else can I teach you to write?" Ye Guosheng thought for a while, and felt that it is extremely important to cultivate patriotism from a young age, so he said immediately: "I will teach you to write 'The Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation' again, okay. Bar?"

"Okay." Ye Chi said.

Ye Guosheng was holding a pencil to write "Chinese people", and he got stuck when he reached the word "clan". He looked at Ye Chi and asked, "How did you write the clan?"

Ye Chi opened his mouth and said, "If you can't write, use pinyin."

"I teach you how to write Chinese characters, how can you use pinyin?"

"But grandpa, you don't even know how to write Chinese characters."

"Grandpa, think about it, think about it."

Ye Guosheng thought about it seriously, and tried to write it several times, but he couldn't write it right. At this moment, a small hand holding a pencil stretched out and smoothly wrote the word "family" on the paper. Ye Guosheng looked at the word. , and turned to look at the person, the person who wrote the words was not Ye Chi, but Lu Mingfang.

After Lu Ming let go and took it back, he lowered his head.

Ye Chi leaned on Ye Guosheng's arm, looked at the characters he didn't know, and asked, "Grandpa, did Brother Fang write it right?"

Ye Guosheng said, "That's right."

Ye Chi immediately looked at Lu Mingfang and said, "Wow! Brother Fang, you are so amazing, you can write such thick characters, that's great!"

Ye Guosheng continued: "Yes, Mingfang is great, grandpa can't do it, Mingfang can."

Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng praised Lu Mingfang in turn.

Lu Mingfang looked expressionless, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Next, Ye Guosheng couldn't write. Look at Lu Mingfang. Lu Mingfang has written it all. There is no trouble for Lu Mingfang to let it go.

Ye Chi said with admiration: "Brother Fang, you are too powerful!"

Lu Mingfang pursed his lips and said, "If you study, you can also write."

"Have you studied?"

"My dad taught me many words before."

"I don't have a father." Ye Chi said along the way.

Ye Guosheng felt sore when he heard this, and when he looked at Ye Chi, he didn't see sadness on Ye Chi's face. He reached out and touched Ye Chi's head, and continued to study with Ye Chi. In order to make Ye Chi interested in learning, Ye Guosheng went to the market to find some cheap children's books, and read them with Lu Mingfang. They were all some weird little stories, and it was rare that Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang were interested in them.

It just happened to be free time recently, so Ye Guosheng also read to Yechi Luming every day, reading in the yard, reading on the mountain, reading at the foot of the mountain, reading while sitting, reading while squatting, when encountering unfamiliar words, one old and two Xiaoke guessed vigorously, and even guessed and read the story blindly.

In the end, Lu Mingfang took out his smartphone. When he came across a word he didn’t know, he tapped it, and the pronunciation and explanation immediately came out on the phone, but another problem arose. He knew the pronunciation, and there were four or five more sentences in the explanation. The new words made one old and two young ones confused, so they continued to read the story with guessing and confusion. The reading was very exciting, and the time was so fast that it was evening again.

Ye Chi, Ye Guosheng, and Lu Mingfang came down from the mountain, followed by Dahei, who had grown up a lot but was still cowardly. Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang said, "Brother Fang, next time, can you bring your big flower dog out to play too?"

Lu Mingfang said: "Isn't Dahei afraid of Dahua?"

Ye Chi said: "Don't be afraid if you see it every day, otherwise my big black is always afraid of your big flower, and it will be afraid when it grows up, so it won't be handsome! Brother Fang, can you bring it next time?"

Lu Mingfang thought about it and nodded.

Ye Chi smiled happily.

Lu Mingfang also pursed his lips.

Ye Chi looked at Ye Guosheng in front of him and said, "Grandpa is in front of us, Brother Fang, let's compete to see who can get to Grandpa first."

"it is good."

"Get ready." Ye Chi ordered: "One, two, three, start, run!"

The two children rushed forward together. After all, it was Lu Ming who was taller and had longer legs. He ran to Ye Guosheng first, and Ye Chi gave up breathlessly and stood in front of Ye Guosheng.

So one old, two young, and a little black dog moved forward, and when they were about to walk onto the avenue, a brand new black car slowly stopped in front of them.
