Little Farm Among the Clouds

Ye Guosheng has been growing vegetables year after year. Due to the influence of variety, weather, planting time, growth cycle, soil quality, etc., the order of maturity is also different. After thinking about it, he replied: "There are so many vegetables that can be picked."

Ye Chi asked again: "What's there?"

Ye Guosheng didn't bother to say: "Doujiao, you forgot, we used bamboo strips to build a shelf for Doujiao together before."

Ye Chi then said: "Oh, yes, Brother Fang also helped to set up the airs."

"Yes, those who put on airs must be removed."

"Is there any more?" Ye Chi asked again.

Ye Guosheng replied with a smile: "There are also cucumbers."

"anything else?"

"Eggplants." Ye Guosheng said: "However, these will ripen a little later, we have to pull the garlic sprouts first."

"Is it the garlic sprouts growing on the garlic seedlings?"

"Well. Garlic sprouts are very useful. Although garlic sprouts have a long growth cycle, they can be harvested every period. When planting, sprinkle a little more. When it grows seedlings, you can pull out the excess cooking vegetables and eat it. Cook garlic sprouts and eggs, garlic sprouts Bacon is fresh. When it grows up, it will grow flower stems from the core, that is, garlic sprouts, which is the garlic sprouts we want to smoke. After the garlic sprouts are pumped, it will continue to grow, and it will grow old at this time. The leaves, the stems, all wither."

Ye Chi followed up and asked, "Grandpa, is it dead?"

Ye Guosheng said: "No, it just supplies all the nutrients to the roots. The roots are garlic. Garlic can be eaten, used as medicine, or kept as seeds. At the end of the year, garlic cloves can be planted in the soil, and the next year can be harvested again."

"Wow, that garlic sprout is so good."

"Yes, it's the same with people. Every stage has its own value, and it can be passed down from generation to generation."

"Grandpa, are people like this?"

"Yes, but, some people are like garlic sprouts, they are really dead when they die, and some people are dead, but they are actually still alive." Ye Guosheng said with emotion.

Ye Chi asked puzzledly: "Then is he dead or alive?"

Ye Guosheng laughed, knowing that Ye Chi was young and didn't understand these principles, so he didn't tell Ye Chi about this, but continued to talk about the dishes, and he couldn't help but add some short stories while talking about the dishes.

Ye Chi listened with gusto, but couldn't bear the drowsiness, and fell asleep in Ye Guosheng's arms. Ye Guosheng touched Ye Chi's small head, ready to sleep.

Turning around to look for the flashlight, the flashlight was clearly on the bedside table, he confused the flashlight into a thermos cup, rubbed his eyes, laughed at himself for being presbyopic, then put the flashlight on the bedside, and lay down, subject to Yechi’s rules Affected by the sound of snorting, Ye Guosheng soon fell asleep.

Ye Guosheng got up for a run as usual, went up the mountain to dig vegetables, and sold vegetables. When Ye Chi woke up naturally, it was already daylight. He quickly put on his clothes, ran out of the room, and saw Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia sitting in the yard.

Ye Guosheng held a tool that Ye Chi didn't know about, and Ye Fengxia held a handful of green garlic sprouts in his hand. Ye Chi immediately asked, "Grandpa, have you been to the mountains?"

Ye Guosheng said, "Yes."

"Then did you go to sell vegetables?" Ye Chi asked worriedly.

"It's sold out."

"Then why don't you call me?"

"Your aunt won't let you be called." Ye Guosheng looked at Ye Fengxia, and Ye Fengxia smiled at Ye Chi and said, "You were flying a kite with Linglingming yesterday, and you were running wildly. You must be tired, just like Auntie I want to eat garlic sprouts, so I went to the mountain with your grandfather to let you sleep a little longer."

"The dishes are all sold out?"

"It's sold out." Ye Fengxia looked at Ye Chi's worried look, and said with a smile: "Auntie went to the market and saw your cotton hat uncle and Aunt Wang, and they asked you, saying that they will miss you if they don't see you for a day Aunt Wang was the middle-aged woman who bought the bamboo shoots at first, she bought vegetables as soon as she saw Ye Chi, and Ye Chi started calling her Aunt Wang later.

When Ye Chi heard that Uncle and Aunt Wang in the cotton hat all missed him, it was "all", he was a little happy and a little embarrassed, and moved to Ye Guosheng's side, leaning on Ye Guosheng, relieved his shyness, and looked at Ye Guosheng. The tool in Guosheng's hand, asked: "Grandpa, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Garlic pumpkin."

"What are garlic pumps for?"

"A garlic sprout."

Ye Chi turned his head to look at the garlic sprouts in Ye Fengxia's hands and in the basket at his feet, and said, "These are extracted from garlic pumps?"

"Yes."

"Why do you smoke so much, why don't you sell it?"

"These are not for sale, I keep them for your aunt to take away."

"Where do you take it?"

"Take it back to your aunt's house."

Ye Chi's face froze, and he asked, "Auntie is going home?"

Ye Guosheng said: "Yes, the annual vacation is over, it's time to go back to work."

"Can't you not go up?"

"I can't."

Ye Chi was reluctant, but he knew that his aunt was going to leave, all he could do was follow behind her, watch her clean things up, and then began to see her and Lingling off.

At this time, Ye Guosheng also packed up half a bag of vegetables and brought them over, looking at Lingling, because Lingling had given Lingling psychological training in advance, so this time, Lingling didn't cry, but just held Ye Chi's hand, and Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia Walk towards the bus stop.

Ye Fengxia and Ye Guosheng talked non-stop along the way, saying, "Dad, you have to take care of your health."

Ye Guosheng said, "I know."

"When going up the mountain, take a walking stick in your hand so as not to fall."

"it is good."

"Also, don't think too much about the second brother. Since the state disciplines him, let the state discipline him. You live your own life."

"Good good."

"Also, don't work so hard to make money. Now that the national policy is good, you don't need to spend so much money to go to school. Don't have so much pressure."

"I know."

"and also--"

"Don't have any more, the car is here, get in the car quickly."

Ye Fengxia looked to the right, and the car really came, she called out: "Lingling, let's go." She stretched out her hand to Lingling.

Lingling held Ye Chi's hand reluctantly and said, "Brother, I'll come again on Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ye Chi said, "Okay."

"You and Brother Lu will take me to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Well, we'll wait for you."

"Ah."

Lingling put her little hand into Ye Fengxia's and followed Ye Fengxia on the bus. Ye Guosheng handed over the suitcase and vegetables, and watched the bus wobble away. Ye Guosheng sighed and looked down at Ye Chi .

Ye Chi looked up at Ye Guosheng and said, "Grandpa, I can't bear to part with Auntie and Lingling."

"Grandpa is also reluctant."

But life is one gathering after another and parting one after another. Ye Guosheng stretched out his palm and said, "Let's go, go home."

Ye Chi held Ye Guosheng's two fingers, and walked home together, met a few acquaintances on the way, Ye Guosheng stopped to greet them, and the man said, "I heard that Hongtao Sentenced?"

Ye Guosheng's face was not very good-looking, and he asked, "How do you know?"

"Then so-and-so's mother-in-law's daughter's nephew works in the Municipal Public Security Bureau. She said that Hongtao will be there for five and a half years. Is it true?"

"——It's true." Ye Guosheng looked a little embarrassed.

"Oh, how did this happen?"

"It's your own fault."

"Ugh."

"Well, you are busy, we will go home first."

"Okay, okay, don't think too much, nothing is a big deal now."

"Eh!"

Ye Guosheng knew that the acquaintance might be just out of curiosity, not malicious, but asking about this kind of thing made him really uncomfortable, and he was afraid that Ye Chi would feel bad, but it happened so coincidentally, the more he didn't want to hear these things, The more I was on the road, I heard someone discussing it.

"Hey, have you heard? Ye Hongtao seems to have been in prison for five and a half years."

"Who said that?"

"The whole town knows about it."

"seriously."

"Really, don't you remember that Mr. Ye went out for several days and didn't come back a few days ago, it seems that it was because of this."

"Sigh, Ye Hongtao never did a good thing."

"..."

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.The whole town knew about Ye Hongtao. These people were discussing, but they never thought that Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng were behind him. Ye Chi squeezed Ye Guosheng's hand with his small hand, which attracted Ye Guosheng's attention. Xiaolian said: "Grandpa, if others say something about others, we just ignore them, we are good people."

Looking at Ye Chi's clear eyes, Ye Guosheng really felt that his heart was much purer. Just as these people had left, he pulled Ye Chi and continued towards the house. Ye Hongwei came over after a while, saying that he had heard about the town About Ye Hongtao's rumors, ask if it is true, fearing that the people Ye Hongtao provoked will involve him, he told Ye Guosheng clearly that he will not take the blame for Ye Hongtao outside the prison.

Ye Guo angrily scolded Ye Hongwei a few words, Ye Hongwei knew that Ye Hongtao's matter could not implicate him, so he left with peace of mind, not mentioning the 1 yuan he owed Ye Guosheng at all.

Ye Guosheng didn't mention it either. He knew his eldest son Ye Hongwei, and Ye Hongwei must always remember the 1 yuan. , He gave Ye Hongwei one year, and if he didn't pay back the money for one year, he would really sue him.

So watching Ye Hongwei walk away, Ye Guosheng didn't stop him. After a while, Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu brought Lu Ming over. The two elders also heard about it, but they didn't ask the reason, nor were they looking at a joke. Instead, he sincerely considers Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng.

It is said that Mr. Lu called some authoritative friends and said that the times are different now, there is no part or no part, and there is no implicated problem. As long as Ye Chi has the ability in the future, he can still be reused by the state, so Ye Guosheng doesn't need it. Worried, at the same time the three old people talked about their son and daughter together. Every family has hard-to-recite scriptures.

The three old people chatted heartily. When they got to the bottom of the story, the three old people were tearful. Although they didn't cry, their hearts were wide open. When they wanted to continue chatting, Ye Chi ran over and said, "Grandpa, The weather forecast says it will snow this afternoon!"

Ye Guosheng asked, "When did the weather forecast say that?"

"Now, Brother Fang and I are watching TV, we have to collect our clothes."

"it is good."

Ye Chi ran out of the room and started collecting clothes.

The old lady Lu thought that Ye Guosheng needed to be busy, so he didn't delay him. When he called Lu Ming to let him go, Lu Mingfang expressed his unwillingness to go back, so the two elders asked Lu Mingfang to help Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng pack his things here.

Lu Mingfang nodded.

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu also left.

When Lu Mingfang turned his head to look at Ye Chi, Ye Chi kept running around in the yard, holding his clothes and running towards the west wing, carrying a stool towards the kitchen, and carrying a bag into the thatched cottage... Lu Mingfang watched After waiting for a while, I finally understood it, and followed Ye Chi to take, hold, and move the things in the yard to the room.

Ye Guosheng, on the other hand, drove the chickens to the chicken coop, swept the yard, put away the vegetables, and pulled the big yellow cattle into the cowshed. After all this was done, Ye Guosheng hurried to the bedside table and called Ye Fengxia. He made sure that Ye Fengxia and Lingling had arrived home, and he was relieved.

When he came out of the room, the rain had not yet come down, and the weather was a bit stuffy. Ye Guosheng looked at Ye Chi, who was sweating on his tired forehead, smiled, stepped forward to wipe Ye Chi's sweat, and asked, "When listening to the weather forecast, did you hear How long has it been raining?"

Ye Chi groaned and said, "I forgot."

"Three days." Lu Mingfang said suddenly.

Ye Chi turned his head and asked, "Do you want to stay for three days?"

Lu Mingfang nodded, fearing that Ye Guosheng would not believe it, he took out his small mobile phone from his pocket and searched for the weather forecast, it did show three days of rain, Ye Guosheng deliberately let Ye Chi into the room, took reading glasses, and looked at it again. Look, after taking off his presbyopic glasses, Ye Guosheng said, "Three days, that cow doesn't have enough grass."

Ye Chi asked: "Then what should we do?"

"Go cut it, save some for the cows."

"Grandpa, I'm going too."

"it is good."

"Grandpa, do you want to save food for Dahei?" Putting the chicken, cow and Dahei together, Dahei is the number one in Ye Chi's heart. As long as Ye Guosheng considers the chicken and the cow, Ye Chi will do it for him. Dahei thinks about it.

Dahei was named, and he let out a "woof", wagging his tail and wandering around Ye Chi, Ye Chi ignored Dahei, and looked straight at Ye Guosheng.

Ye Guosheng went to get the sickle and the basket and said, "No, if Dahei doesn't have enough dog food, we can eat our leftovers."

Only then did Ye Chi feel relieved, walked towards Ye Guosheng, and at the same time looked at Lu Mingfang who was beside him, Lu Mingfang said, "I'll go too."

Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng agreed together, one old, two young, one dog, one pole, two baskets, two small shovels, and a sickle, and walked towards Jingshan. At the foot of Jingshan, there were many weeds. Grass, Yechi Lu Mingfang took a small shovel to shovel small grass, and bent over to hug long grass and short grass, and carried all the grass that big yellow cattle loved to eat into the baskets. When the two baskets were full, the sky became darker.

Ye Guosheng carried a shoulder pole and walked quickly towards home, while Ye Chi and Lu Ming trotted after him. When they got home, crackling raindrops fell, behind Ye Chi where Lu Ming had released Ye Guosheng, stood in the hallway, wiped his forehead, and said: "Oh, three raindrops kissed my forehead."

Ye Guosheng laughed out loud after hearing this.

Lu Mingfang also bent the corners of his mouth.

Ye Chi squatted down, held Dahei's swarthy head in his small hands and said, "Dahei, let me see if Yudianzi kissed you!"

Dahei shook his head thumpingly and did not cooperate with Yechi.

Ye Chi looked at Dahei's black face.

Dahei couldn't get rid of Ye Chi's little hand, so he stuck out his tongue and licked Ye Chi's nose, Ye Chi quickly let go of Dahei, wiped his nose, stomped his feet to scare Dahei, and said, "You little villain!"

Dahei was not afraid of Ye Chi's move at all, and he just threw the water off his body. When Ye Chi turned his head and looked outside again, raindrops fell down.

Ye Guosheng said happily, "It's finally raining."

Ye Chi asked: "Grandpa, is it raining?"

"It's good to rain now, the dealer needs rain just now."

"Then put more down."

"That can't be done. Three days of heavy rain is just fine." Ye Guosheng said: "After these three days, the sky will definitely heat up."

"Why must it be hot?"

"It's like this every year, and grandpa doesn't know the reason." Ye Guosheng said.

"This is the weather characteristic of a warm front passing through." Lu Mingfang said suddenly.

Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng looked at Lu Mingfang at the same time and asked, "What is a warm front passing through?"

Lu Mingfang thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I just saw it on TV."

Ye Guosheng said with a smile: "Ming Fang is smart, you can remember it by watching TV, and you will definitely be a cultural person in the future, and a talent of the country."

Ye Chi then said: "Yes, Brother Fang is the smartest, even if Brother Fang 'doesn't know', he is super powerful."

Ye Guosheng: "..." Really good at blowing.

Lu Mingfang glanced at Ye Chi, then slightly lowered his head and pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, feeling very happy in his heart.
