Little Farm Among the Clouds

Lu Mingfang raised his eyes to look at Ye Chi, and nodded in agreement.

Ye Chi was overjoyed, quickly took a soup dumpling, took a bite and said, "It's delicious if you eat it this way."

Lu Mingfang: "..."

Ye Chi finished chewing the bun in his mouth.

Lu Mingfang asked again: "Are you still eating?"

Ye Chi nodded hurriedly: "En."

"Keep eating."

Ye Chi immediately extended his chopsticks to the plate, and then saw that there were only two soup dumplings in the plate, he put down his chopsticks again and said, "Oh, I'm so full, I don't want to eat."

Lu Mingfang said, "You really don't want to eat?"

Ye Chi said firmly: "I won't eat."

Lu Mingfang still picked up a soup dumpling for Ye Chi to eat, and he lowered his head to eat another one. Ye Chi looked at the soup dumpling in the small bowl, and then at Lu Mingfang, feeling very happy. Brother Fang was good to him. After eating the soup dumplings, he and Lu Ming played glass bead puzzles in the yard.

He was sweating profusely from playing, and was so hot that he wanted to go home and change clothes. As soon as he got home, he saw Ye Guosheng cooking. Ye Chi immediately ran forward and said, "Grandpa, I'll light the fire!"

Ye Guosheng turned his head and asked, "Have you finished playing?"

"Ah."

"Ming Fang finished eating the soup dumpling?"

"Well, I also helped to eat, and I ate three."

"Then can you have lunch?"

"Yes, I'm hungry now." Ye Chi reached out to touch his stomach to prove that he was really hungry.

"...Do you want to eat noodles?"

"eat."

Ye Guosheng ordered two bowls of noodles with green vegetables and eggs, without any special seasonings or decorations, but Ye Chi ate them all, like a little pink pig. Ye Guosheng smiled and washed the dishes, so he had time to stroke them. Take a look at the food money in the morning.

"Grandpa, I made a mistake." Ye Chi pointed out.

"What's wrong?" Ye Guosheng asked.

"You take twenty dollars as ten dollars."

"Where?" Ye Guosheng rubbed his eyes, laughed when he saw it, and said, "I didn't pay attention, I didn't pay attention, it's less, we earned ten yuan more."

Ye Chi continued with a smile: "Yes, I made an extra ten dollars."

Ye Guosheng laughed.

Ye Chi said: "Tomorrow I will have a tricycle, and I will make a lot of money."

Ye Guosheng nodded: "Yes."

"In the future, we can still buy tricycles ourselves."

"No money."

"awesome!"

Ye Guosheng smiled and put the whole money away, put the change in his wallet, and saved it to change at the market, then took a nap, went for a walk on the mountain in the afternoon, the day passed, and the next morning, Shunzi really rode a tricycle coming.

"Wow, this can hold a lot of dishes!" Ye Chi sighed.

Shunzi said, "It must be much more than what can be contained in four baskets."

"More than eight baskets."

"That's right." Shunzi echoed Ye Chi's words, then turned to look at Ye Guosheng and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

"It's okay, I'm afraid that there will be too many vegetables to sell." Ye Guosheng sells vegetables to sell them fresh, and if they are not fresh, they will not be easy to sell.

"Let's pretend less."

Ye Guosheng thought for a while and said, "That's fine, let's pretend less first."

Shunzi rode his tricycle to the foot of the mountain, and together with Ye Chi, Ye Guosheng and Lu Mingfang, picked and dug vegetables on the mountain. The child carried the vegetables to the tricycle down the mountain in an orderly manner.

When Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang had almost filled the tricycle body, Ye Guosheng Shunzi went down the mountain with a bundle of vegetables and put them on the tricycle body. Ye Guosheng said, "Okay, I'll pack that much for today."

Ye Chi said: "It's not full yet."

"Let's see if we can sell it out today. If it's sold out, we'll fill it up tomorrow."

"Well."

Ye Guosheng turned to Shunzi.

Shunzi said, "Brother, let's go."

"Walk."

Sunja was riding a tricycle in front.

Ye Chi, Ye Guosheng, and Lu Mingfang followed behind. When they reached the fork in the road, Lu Mingfang did not go to the market with Ye Chi and the others as usual, but walked home. Shunzi asked curiously: "Brother, why doesn't this kid love you?" join in the fun?"

Before Ye Guosheng opened his mouth, Ye Chi went home first: "My Brother Fang is like this, he is afraid of strangers, and when he gets to know him better, he will like to join in the fun."

Shunzi asked, "It's you Fang Ge?"

"Well, Brother Fang is very good."

Shunzi laughed.

Ye Guosheng also laughed, knowing that the little grandson protects his shortcomings, as long as the little grandson cares about people and things, even if he knows that there are many shortcomings, he will not allow others to say it openly, Ye Guosheng smiled and touched Ye Chi's little head, let Ye Chi and Shunzi's tricycle arrived at the market in a short time.

Ye Guosheng was still worried that the vegetables might not be sold out, but the facts surprised him. Now that it is summer, it is time to eat fruits and vegetables, and with the improvement of everyone's living standards, while accepting off-seasons, more I like seasonal vegetables, and I know that Yechi's vegetables are all natural, so I don't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

In less than three hours, all the vegetables on the tricycle were sold out. Yechi, Ye Guosheng and Shunzi had varying degrees of happiness on their faces. The happy Ye Guosheng wanted to invite Shunzi to the breakfast stand for a meal, but Shunzi didn’t want to take advantage of it. Ye Guosheng was cheap, so Ye Guosheng gave up.

The two elders and one child walked out of the market, and Shunzi said to Yechi, "Little Yechi, come, take a ride in the back of the car, the third grandfather will carry you."

Ye Chi wanted to sit, but he subconsciously looked at Ye Guosheng. Ye Guosheng nodded at him, and he climbed onto the cart neatly. He was just sitting on a tricycle, and he was very happy.

Sunja rode slowly.

Ye Guosheng was talking with Shunzi about the salary at the side, saying that he had already inquired about the salary around him, and told Shunzi the number. Shunzi thought it was too high, much higher than when he was doing odd jobs. Ye Guosheng said: " You are not a part-time job here, but a long-term job, and there will be many places that need you here in the future, maybe someone from the supermarket in the city will come in two days, and you will have to help pick vegetables in the afternoon."

Shunzi agreed.

Here Ye Guosheng Shunzi was talking, while Ye Chi was sitting in the bucket of a tricycle, looking at the trees on both sides of the road. He vaguely remembered that when he first came to Jingshan Town, the trees were all withered. The leaves were removed, and each leaf became green.

When the breeze blows gently, the green leaves are all waving to him. They are all so enthusiastic. Ye Chi is so happy. He looks at the leaves, the blue sky and the white clouds, and he can't help but want to hum a song. Son, just humming out, saw a familiar car coming in front of him, he immediately shouted: "Grandpa, Uncle Li is here to buy vegetables again!"

Ye Guosheng looked back, and it was really Li Lishen's car.

Shunzi asked, "Who?"

Ye Guosheng said: "Just now I said that I will ask you to help pick vegetables in the afternoon, but I have to ask you to help pick vegetables at noon today. Are you busy now?"

"Not busy, not busy."

Shunzi is very happy to work. Since he retired, he has been looking for work everywhere. He has no education, no skills, and can't talk sweetly, so without a stable job, he seems to be unable to find his own value. , Working with Ye Guosheng this time, it was considered stable, and he also gained energy. As soon as he turned the tricycle around, he followed Ye Guosheng Yechi to the foot of Jingshan Mountain, and packed a trunk of vegetables for Li Lishen.

As soon as Li Lishen left, Shunzi was going to leave, Ye Guosheng wanted to give Shunzi fresh vegetables, Shunzi didn't want any, so he rode a tricycle and went home, Ye Guosheng and Yechi followed, and when they got home, the grandpa and grandson Just squatting on the ground and counting the money, I earned more in one day today than in a week normally.

"Wow!" Ye Chi opened his eyes wide in amazement and said, "Grandpa, we are going to get rich!"

Ye Guosheng laughed: "This amount of money can't make you rich."

"But there are so many!"

"It's more than usual, far away from getting rich."

"Then let's save it."

"OK, save it!"

The grandpa and grandson decided to save as much as they wanted, and immediately went to the bank in the town to deposit the money. When they came back, Ye Guosheng specially cut two catties of pork and brought it back to Yechi for extra meals. Only those who can eat well and sleep well can do it better.

In the next few days, Ye Guosheng Yechi's daily income was gratifying.The grandpa and grandson are not too troublesome, they have three to five hundred in their hand, and they have to deposit it in the bank, saying that it is handed over to the state for preservation, so the grandpa and grandson go to the bank every now and then, and the money in the passbook can be seen with the naked eye. Visible speed increase.

At this time, the temperature was gradually rising, and Ye Chi no longer wore his red sweater. Ye Guosheng bought him a thin T-shirt, overalls, sneakers, and he looked so handsome when he put it on. , deliberately ran to Mrs. Lu's house, and asked Lu Mingfang if he was handsome.

While Ye Guosheng was buying a set of clothes for Ye Chi, Ye Fengxia also sent Ye Chi Ye Guosheng two pairs of shoes from the Internet. As soon as she received it, Ye Fengxia called. I chatted with Ye Fengxia on the phone, and said, "Auntie, I am making a lot of money with Grandpa now."

"is it?"

"Yes." Ye Chi said very familiarly: "We sell as much vegetables as a tricycle bucket every day, and we earn a lot more than before."

"Then are you busy?"

"We invited Yang Shunzi, Third Master Yang, and grandpa paid him his salary. When he got the salary, Grandpa Third was very happy, and even bought me yogurt to drink."

"Have you hired someone?" Ye Fengxia has been very busy with work and her children recently. She occasionally called Ye Guosheng to ask about Ye Guosheng's health. She never talked to Ye Guosheng in detail. Hearing what Ye Chi said, She was pleasantly surprised.

Just at this time, Ye Guosheng came, and Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia talked about the sale situation, because vegetables were planted up and down the mountain year after year, especially after the year, Ye Guosheng wanted to raise Yechi, so he brought Yechi with him every afternoon When I went to Jingshan, I hoeed a field to scatter some seeds. I don’t know if it’s because Yechi is blessed, and the vegetables I scatter casually grow well.

Such as leeks, pumpkins, beans and cucumbers, which can be harvested once or more times, also grow better than in previous years, resulting in a particularly high vegetable production this year and an increase in income.

Ye Fengxia said happily: "Father, I let you succeed."

Ye Guosheng said: "Isn't that right, the income is no worse than your working income now."

"It's much better than us going to work." Ye Fengxia was very happy.

"It's okay, so you're short of money—"

"No shortage." Ye Fengxia immediately interrupted Ye Guosheng and said, "Dad, don't let people know that you are rich, especially elder brother, we are not children anymore, why are you still using your money?"

"Aren't I just asking you alone? You are different from them." Ye Guosheng knew what his daughter was like, and would rather be poor than drag him down. He would deduct money from his fingers from time to time to buy milk for him. clothes or something.

Ye Fengxia said: "I don't need it, you can save the money you earn, and don't be cheated by the elder brother and the second brother."

"Got it, got it." Ye Guosheng asked with a smile, "How are you doing recently? How are the two children? Where's Feng Song?"

"It's all good. Recently, the anniversary of the unit has given some benefits to every employee. I have been given two full tickets to the children's playground. It happened that a colleague's child was sick and couldn't go, so the tickets were given to me. , It’s a big and fun playground, it’s free anyway, Dad, look, how about I ask Feng Song to pick up Yechi in the afternoon, let Yechi come to the city to play for a day, and I will go back with him the next day , how about spending two more days with you?"

"Let Yechi go to the playground to play?"

"Well, no money, can Ye Chi go away?"

"Is there any danger?" Ye Guosheng has never been to an amusement park in his life, and he has no idea about the amusement park, but he cares about Ye Chi instinctively.

"No."

"If Yechi goes, will it cause you trouble?"

"It's not a bother, I've already got the tickets anyway, it's a waste if I don't play." Ye Fengxia said: "Just let Ye Chi see the world, so be happy."

Ye Guosheng didn't want to hold Ye Chi all the time, so he said, "That's fine."

"Then I'll ask Feng Song to pick it up in the afternoon?"

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Guosheng told Ye Chi about it. When Ye Chi heard that it was a playground, his eyes lit up immediately, and he packed his luggage immediately. In the afternoon, Zhao Fengsong came over and took Ye Chi away. .

Seeing Ye Chi get into the car happily, Ye Guosheng waved his hands with a smile. When he got home, there was a cow, a dog and several chickens in the house. There was obviously one more dog than before. He suddenly felt that the yard was too quiet, quiet He was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help worrying about Ye Chi.

Thinking that he would only go for two days, he would come back in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and Ye Guosheng started to feed the chickens, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, he turned his head and saw that it was Lu Mingfang.

"Grandpa Ye, where's Ye Chi?" Lu Mingfang asked.

"Ye Chi, he went to his aunt's."

"When did you go?"

"Just went."

"When does he come back?"

"The day after tomorrow afternoon."

Lu Mingfang stopped talking, turned his head and left in disappointment.

Seeing this, Ye Guosheng said, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Lu Mingfang didn't speak, and went home dejectedly. He was unhappy when he got home, and he was depressed all day long. He stood on the second floor and stared at the sky in a daze. It wasn't until night fell that he followed Mrs. Lu's advice and went downstairs to have dinner.

At the same time, because Ye Chi was not at home, Ye Guosheng casually warmed up steamed buns, ate dinner with pickles, fed the dog, the cow, and the chicken. Ye Chi is not at home.

Habits are really scary. Ye Chi left, and everything felt wrong. Ye Guosheng didn't even sleep well. The next day, when it was dawn, he saw Lu Mingfang and Shunzi again. The three of them went to the mountain to pick vegetables. After leaving Yechi, Lu Mingfang didn't even say a word, and the whole world was extremely quiet.

Lu Mingfang helped pick the vegetables and went home. Ye Guosheng followed Shunzi to sell vegetables. Li Lishen came again in the afternoon, and Shunzi had already returned home. It happened that Mrs. Lu was fine, so he brought Lu Ming Let him go to help Ye Guosheng with work until sunset.

Li Lishen left.

The elders of the Lu family helped Ye Guosheng pack his tools, and the old lady Lu asked, "I heard that Ye Chi went to his aunt's place?"

Ye Guosheng said: "Yes, his aunt said that she took him to the playground to play. He was so happy that he packed his things that day."

After Lu Ming listened to it, his face tightened even more.

The old lady Lu asked: "Then when will he come back?"

"tomorrow."

"Aren't you used to him leaving?"

"Yeah." Ye Guosheng said with a smile: "You also know that his little mouth keeps chattering all day long, like a little magpie. After leaving, the house is so quiet that it's unbelievable. .”

"Yeah, I feel quiet, I miss him."

"Yes."

Ye Guosheng really missed his little grandson, and he didn't feel any special when he was around him. Now that he was leaving, he was worried about it, as if he was always afraid that Ye Chi would be bullied outside. He thought about it tightly, and he sighed.

Lu Ming lowered his head and remained silent.

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu helped pack the tools.

Suddenly I heard Dahei yelling twice in the distance, and then suddenly ran to the distance. Ye Guosheng and Lu Mingfang looked at the distance curiously. At this time, the sun had already set, and the night gradually opened. It was gray, but a small black figure was clearly seen, and the small figure was running towards this side.

"Ye Chi!" Lu Mingfang regained his energy, and for the first time expressed his excitement and said to Mrs. Lu: "Grandma, Ye Chi is back!"

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu looked at Lu Mingfang in surprise.

Ye Guosheng looked happily into the distance.

"Grandpa!" Ye Chi's voice finally came, and his excitement and joy could be heard from the voice.

"Hey!" Ye Guosheng responded energetically.

"Grandpa! I'm back!"

"it is good."

"Wow!" Dahei had already run to Ye Chi's side at this time, jumped on Ye Chi, knocked Ye Chi down, and excitedly circled around Ye Chi, licking Ye Chi with his tongue, Ye Chi giggled With Dahei in his arms, when he looked up and saw Lu Mingfang who was out of breath, he shouted happily: "Brother Fang!"

Lu Mingfang hummed and pulled Ye Chi up.

Ye Guosheng and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu also came over.

Ye Chi shouted: "Grandpa, Grandma Lu, Grandpa Lu."

Ye Guosheng asked: "Didn't you say you'll be back tomorrow? Why are you back today?"

"Because he wants you to cry." Ye Fengxia pulled Lingling over, and after saying hello to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu, she told everyone about Ye Chi's going to the city. Ye Chi was originally interested Went there in a hurry, slept with Kunkun at night, took Yechi to the playground today, had a good time, and played until the afternoon.

He also happily said that he wanted to bring his grandfather and Brother Fang to play, but after returning home, when he was sitting on the balcony watching the sun go down, he silently wiped away his tears, and it took a long time before Ye Fengxia found out.

Ye Fengxia asked the reason, and he said that the big yellow ox was full at this time, grandpa was going to lead the big yellow ox and take Dahei home, and Brother Fang was going to have dinner too... He didn't say that he would come back, even Ye Fengxia wanted Jingshan Town , so I came back with my things and two children.

Ye Guosheng felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and this feeling of being missed and missed made him feel that everything was worth it.

Lu Mingfang was no longer inexplicably angry.

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu smiled kindly.

Ye Chi leaned on Ye Guosheng's body in embarrassment, and buried his face so that no one could see him. Ye Guosheng laughed, and took Ye Chi's little hand to walk home. Ming Fang said with his hand, "Brother Fang, let's go, I brought you a lot of toys."

Lu Ming let Ye Chi drag him to Ye Guosheng's house.

After arriving home, Ye Chi dumped the gifts in the small schoolbag on the bed, and said to Lu Mingfang very boldly: "Brother Fang, you can choose these things as you like!"

Lu Mingfang looked at the pile of small robots, bouncy balls, cars, etc. on the bed, and asked, "Where did you buy it?"

Lingling replied softly: "I didn't buy it, I don't need money."

Lu Mingfang asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Go to the playground to play games, it was given as a gift."

"..."

"My brother doesn't want money." Lingling pointed out the truth again, Ye Chi will save money.

"..."

Lu Mingfang looked at Ye Chi, Ye Chi was still looking proud, lying on the bed purposely, introducing low-quality small gifts to Lu Mingfang, he was a little disgusted, but seeing Ye Chi's pretty face and bright eyes, he felt that these little gifts The gift was very cute, Ye Chi gave him one, and he took one, and finally Ye Chi gave half of the gift to Lu Mingfang.

Lu Ming felt sweet in his heart.

Ye Chi lay on the bed and talked about the amusement park with Lu Mingfang, talking about the hype, Lu Mingfang pursed his lips, Lingling felt that he and his brother went to different playgrounds, until it came to eating.

Ye Chi Lingling strongly asked Lu Mingfang to eat, and Lu Mingfang also wanted to continue playing with Ye Chi, so he ate at Ye Chi. After eating, Ye Chi deliberately chose an amiable Santa Claus from the small gifts to Ye Guosheng, and said: "Grandpa, this is for you."

"what?"

"Santa Claus."

"Santa Claus?" Ye Guosheng rubbed his eyes, looked closer, smiled, and said, "Hey, he really is an old man with a white beard."

Ye Chi took out another small gift: "Well, there is this robot."

Ye Guosheng continued to rub his eyes and looked closer.

Ye Fengxia on the side asked, "Dad, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do you keep rubbing your eyes?"
