Little Farm Among the Clouds

Ye Chi Xiaohaozi sat up and looked down the mountain following the sound. At this time, Lu Mingfang had already stood up and stared blankly at the bottom of the mountain. Besides Grandma Lu, there was a woman at the bottom of the mountain.

The woman was wearing a light blue dress with a ponytail and slightly curled tail, looking beautiful and energetic.

Xiao Haozi couldn't help saying: "Wow, so beautiful."

Ye Chi asked: "Who is it?"

Xiao Haozi said, "I don't know either."

Ye Chi asked again: "Brother Fang, who is she?"

Lu Mingfang was a little dazed.

The woman shouted again: "Mingfang!"

Ye Chi pushed Lu Mingfang: "Brother Fang, she is calling you, why don't you answer?"

Lu Mingfang still didn't move.

The woman was not angry either, and she brought Grandma Lu closer to the foot of the mountain. Grandma Lu said, "Mingfang, your mother is here, why don't you come over?"

Mother? !

Ye Chi's little Haozi was stunned. In their hearts, Lu Mingfang was a serious and occasionally irritable existence, so his mother should, should... Like a steamed bun seller in the market, she yelled and her voice became louder. Fang's mother would be so young, so good-looking and so slender, they had been with Lu Mingfang for a long time, and they had already ignored Lu Mingfang's handsome, gentle and knowledgeable side.

At this moment, she looked at Gu Yaqing, the mother who was staring at Lu Mingfang in amazement, and actually saw the similarities with Lu Mingfang, Xiao Haozi leaned into Ye Chi's ear and said, "Ming Fang looks like her mother."

Ye Chi nodded.

The three of them didn't even go up the mountainside, so Gu Yaqing and Mrs. Lu walked up to them after a while. Ye Chi's little Haozi greeted Mrs. Lu and Gu Yaqing very politely. The two talked for a few words, then looked at Lu Mingfang.

Lu Mingfang turned his face to the side and looked down at the branches on the ground.

Gu Yaqing walked over with a smile, took Lu Mingfang's hand and said, "Don't you know your mother?"

When she pulled Lu Ming to let go, Gu Yaqing was a little apprehensive, afraid that her son would lose his temper and get sick, but she didn't expect him to let her pull him obediently. Lu Mingfang's hair.

It took a while to let go, and asked: "Baby, do you still know your mother?"

Lu Mingfang nodded.

Gu Yaqing smiled happily, touched Lu Mingfang's face and said, "Let's go down the mountain with mom, okay?"

Lu Mingfang nodded.

Gu Yaqing held Lu Mingfang's little hand tightly, pulled Lu Mingfang down the mountain, and reminded Lu Mingfang to pay attention to his feet from time to time. When he got down the mountain, Gu Yaqing relaxed his vigilance, turned to look at Ye Chi, and asked: "Ye Chi, I heard, Are you seven years old too?"

Ye Chi nodded and said, "Well, I'm seven years and ten days old."

"That's a few months younger than Ming Fang."

"Well, I call Brother Ming Fang Fang."

Gu Yaqing smiled. She knew about Ye Chi from the old lady Lu, and also knew that Lu Mingfang's recovery was all thanks to Ye Chi. She was grateful to Ye Chi at first, but now she likes Ye Chi even more. After returning to Old Madam Lu's house, she brought the bicycle specially bought for Ye Chi to Ye Guosheng.

Ye Guosheng was taken aback and said, "This is?"

The old lady Lu said: "A gift for Ye Chi."

Although Ye Guosheng doesn't know what brand is not, but looking at the texture of the bicycle in front of him, he also knows that it is very expensive, and he is unwilling to accept it, but the old lady Lu Gu Yaqing insists on giving it to Ye Chi as a birthday present. It was thanks to Ye Chi Ye Guosheng.

Originally, Gu Yaqing wanted to give money, but she learned from Mrs. Lu that Ye Guosheng would definitely not want it. She racked her brains to think of gifts for children, some robot model airplanes, etc. Later, she learned from Mrs. Lu that Ye Chi wanted Her birthday present was a tricycle, so she thought that Yechi liked cars, so she bought a children's bicycle, which can be ridden until she is fifteen or sixteen years old.

But Ye Guosheng thought it was too expensive, so he couldn't refuse it anyway, so he accepted it very gratefully, but he didn't want any supplements and the like, so Mrs. Lu had no choice but to ask Gu Yaqing to take it back and bid farewell to Ye Guosheng. .

Ye Guosheng and Ye Chi sent the three of them to the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Gu Yaqing holding Lu Mingfang's hand towards Mrs. Lu's house, Ye Chi was very envious. He couldn't help but miss his mother, and also wanted her to hold her hand like this. walk.

After a while, he raised his face and said, "Grandpa, my mother is also very young and good-looking."

Ye Guosheng nodded and said, "Well, I've seen it."

Ye Chi stopped talking, and stared straight at Gu Yaqing and Lu Mingfang. He saw the child's envy for others, touched Ye Chi's head and said, "Come on, let's go make dumplings and eat meat stuffing." .”

Ye Chi's attention was drawn to him at once. He looked at Ye Guosheng and nodded his head heavily. He turned around and went to the kitchen with Ye Guosheng to cook. When it was dark, the dumplings were wrapped. Watching TV for more than half an hour in the room, sitting on the bed and reading storybooks as usual.

Ye Chi was a little absent-minded.

Ye Guosheng asked: "What's wrong?"

Ye Chi said honestly: "Next time my mother calls, I'll ask her why. I'll prepare watermelon for her and put it in the refrigerator to freeze."

Ye Guosheng smiled and said, "Okay."

This was the reason why Ye Chi was absent-minded. After getting Ye Guosheng's approval, Ye Chi's mind also settled down, and he started reading books with Ye Guosheng again.

Early the next morning, Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng thought that Lu Mingfang would not come to pick vegetables, but he still saw Lu Mingfang.

Ye Chi asked: "Brother Fang, won't you accompany mom?"

Lu Mingfang said: "Mom is still sleeping."

"Then your mother wakes up and will look for you."

"I'll go back after picking the vegetables." Lu Mingfang said, "My grandparents asked me to pick the vegetables."

"Okay then, let's pick it quickly."

"Ah."

The two old people and three children went to Jingshan Mountain again. When they came down the mountain, Ye Guosheng gave Lu Mingfang a watermelon and asked Lu Mingfang to carry it back to eat. In the next two or three days, Lu Mingfang would pick vegetables, but he didn't talk to Yechi as often as before. Xiao Haozi was stuck together, spending most of the time with her mother.

Ye Chi was playing with Ye Guosheng in the past few days, and two days later, Gu Yaqing was about to leave, so he came to see Ye Chi and Ye Guosheng. The grandpa and grandson followed the Lu family and sent Gu Yaqing to the road.

Gu Yaqing stood in front of the car and said to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu, "Dad, Mom, thank you for your hard work. You should pay more attention to your health."

Even though they are divorced, Gu Yaqing still calls her son's grandparents parents. It is a habit, a kind of intimacy, and a kind of respect. Regardless of Ming Fang's father's cheating or whatever, the two old people have nothing to say to her. She is willing to call her parents and treat them well.

The old lady Lu said: "You too, drive slowly, you can rest assured tomorrow."

Gu Yaqing looked at Lu Mingfang again.

Lu Ming lowered his head and did not speak.

Gu Yaqing walked up to Lu Mingfang, held Lu Mingfang's face and said, "Son, Mom will come to see you again in a while."

Lu Mingfang said "OK".

"Son, you are now growing up healthily, which really makes mother happy." She kissed Lu Mingfang's forehead and said, "Mom loves you."

After being kissed, Lu Mingfang turned his face away in embarrassment.

Gu Yaqing actually smiled, patted Lu Mingfang on the shoulder and said, "Then mom is gone."

Lu Mingfang nodded.

"Let's contact the phone for information."

"Ah."

Gu Yaqing just got into the car, rolled down the window, waved goodbye to everyone, and then started the car to leave.

Seeing the car going farther and farther, turning a corner and disappearing, Mrs. Lu first let out a long sigh, and then asked Lu Mingfang to play with Ye Chi. She and Mr. Lu accompanied Ye Guosheng to say a few words, and then went home .

Ye Chi pulled Lu Ming and let Ye Guosheng into the room. Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, many people have already turned on the air conditioner to escape the heat, but Ye Guosheng doesn't need it. His house is next to Jingshan, surrounded by dense trees. The room feels extra cool.

Ye Guosheng was afraid that Lu Ming would feel sad, so he cut a watermelon, and the three of them sat under the big tree in the yard to eat, Ye Chi gnawed, Ye Guosheng turned his head to look at Lu Mingfang, Lu Mingfang stared at the watermelon petals in a daze.

Ye Guosheng called: "Ming Fang."

Lu Mingfang looked up at Ye Guosheng.

Ye Guosheng asked: "Are you reluctant to part with your mother?"

Lu Mingfang nodded.

"It's okay, your mother will come to see you in a while. Eat watermelon, eat healthy, and your mother will be happy when she sees it later."

Lu Mingfang nodded and buried himself in eating watermelon.

Ye Chi's small mouth was smooth and slippery. After licking it with his tongue, he said, "Grandpa, I eat healthy, and my mother will be happy to see me."

"Correct."

Ye Chi smiled.

Ye Guosheng couldn't help touching Ye Chi's head, and then looked at Lu Mingfang. The two children's experiences are really similar. They both have unreliable fathers, and they both live at the grandfather's house. What's wrong is that Ye Chi is actively letting go. , Lu Mingfang is calm and introverted, so Ye Chi is cheerful, and Lu Mingfang suppresses himself to get sick.

Fortunately, everything is in the past, now Lu Mingfang is no doubt like ordinary children, no, to be precise, he is smarter than ordinary children, Ye Chi is also, Ye Guosheng felt very relieved, and also touched Lu Mingfang's head.

Lu Mingfang pursed his lips and did not speak.

But Ye Chi knew that Lu Mingfang had laughed. The dignified atmosphere of mother and child parting just now made him very discerning and silent. Now that the atmosphere has loosened, he began to chatter again.

"Ye Chi, don't talk while eating, be careful of choking." Ye Guosheng reminded.

Ye Chi stopped talking now, after eating the watermelon, he cleaned up the skin of the watermelon, and took Lu Ming to watch the birds in the mountains. Summer is the season when the birds are flying wildly. As soon as the two of them went to Jingshan, Xiao Haozi ran over. He took three popsicles in his hand, gave each of Ye Chi Lu Ming one, and sat on the open space at the foot of the mountain to eat the popsicles.

Xiao Haozi asked: "Ming Fang, your mother is gone?"

Ye Chi replied: "Let's go."

"I asked Ming Fang's mother, but I didn't ask your mother."

"Brother Fang's mother is my mother. Brother Fang and I are brothers, right, Brother Fang?"

Lu Mingfang nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Haozi: "..." I don't want to talk to Ye Chi anymore, Ye Chi is really shameless sometimes.

Ye Chi wiped his forehead, looked at the venomous sun in front of him, and said, "Oh, the sun is so bright and hot."

Xiao Haozi said, "It's summer."

"Well, grandpa said, we have a long summer here."

"No matter how long the summer is, it will pass."

Ye Chi took a bite of the popsicle: "Summer is autumn, autumn is winter, winter is spring, and then I grow up."

Xiao Haozi said: "You won't grow up so fast, you have to grow up for ten or eight years before you can grow up."

"It won't take that long!"

"It's useful, you have to trust me, I am the most educated of the three of us, and I am the most educated."

"You just graduated from the top class in kindergarten."

"Yeah, but you and Ming Fang haven't graduated yet, and you haven't even been to a kindergarten class." Xiao Haozi looked down upon Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang with a sense of excellence from a kindergarten graduate.

Ye Chi: "..."

Lu Mingfang: "..."

Xiao Haozi said: "Growing up is so slow."

Ye Chi insisted: "Grow up so fast."

"slow."

"quick."

"Slowly slowly."

"Quick, quick, quick."

Ye Chi and Xiao Haozi's little faces flushed as they competed for "speed and slow", and their voices were extremely loud, which broke Lu Ming's sadness of parting at ease. He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, thinking of his mother's gentle company these days, maternal love turned into A warm current washed away the sadness that shattered his heart into dregs, leaving only warm love. Being loved and valued are things worth remembering. Slowly he became happy because his mother loved him so much. his.

"Brother Fang." Ye Chi suddenly pulled Lu Mingfang: "Do you think growing up is fast or slow?"

Lu Mingfang was startled.

"Brother Fang, do you think growing up is fast or slow?"

Lu Mingfang asked back: "Do you say fast or slow?"

"I said fast."

"That's fast." Lu Mingfang replied without hesitation.

Ye Chi immediately turned his head and said to Xiao Haozi: "Look, my elder brother can speak quickly."

Xiao Haozi, who was red in Zheng's black face, stood up and said, "You two breathe out through one nostril!"

"Why are you standing up?" Ye Chi asked.

"I'm going home!" Xiao Haozi said unhappily.

"You're angry?"

"Ah."

"Then I'm angry too."

"...If you get angry, get angry, I'm going home!"

Xiao Haozi left angrily, just because of such a trivial matter, Ye Chi seemed to be really angry, turned his face to the side, Lu Mingfang looked at Xiao Haozi who had already left, then at Ye Chi, and said : "Ye Chi, shall we go home?"

"it is good."

As soon as I got home, I saw Xiao Haozi again. Xiao Haozi was helping Ye Guosheng jump out of the crucian carp from the water basin. When he saw Ye Chi came back, the two of them didn't apologize or get angry. They played together again, and Xiao Haozi didn't mention going home. until Shunzi called and told Xiao Haozi to go home for dinner.

Xiao Haozi just went home for dinner, after dinner, he continued to look for Yechi Lu Mingfang, and got together every day, the natural fun in summer is always endless, such as birds, such as cicadas, such as mountains and fish, such as mats, such as sudden The torrential rain and so on are full of mystery and interest everywhere.

Apart from helping Ye Guosheng grow and pick vegetables and sell them, the three of Ye Chi deal with these things every day. They are laughing and laughing every day. The happy days pass day by day, and finally it is the hottest time of summer.

Families in Jingshan Town put their winter clothes and quilts in the sun to dry. The children are not too hot at all. They shuttled among the hanging clothes and quilts, which attracted the shouts of adults, including Ye Guosheng.

Ye Chi stopped getting under the quilt, so he pouted his little buttocks, and lay on the ground with Xiao Haozi in the yard, watching Lu Mingfang hold a magnifying glass in his hand, and shine it on a piece of paper through the sun, motionless.

Xiao Haozi asked, "Can this paper catch fire?"

Ye Chi said firmly: "Brother Fang says he can."

The three children were scorched by the sun, their faces were flushed, and their foreheads were sweating, but they didn't realize it. They stared intently at the bright spots on the paper, and even Dahei went up to look at them.

Ye Guosheng couldn't stand it anymore, and called: "Ye Chi."

Ye Chi replied absently: "En."

"Is it hot?"

"not hot."

"You're sweating if it's not hot."

"It's not hot even if you sweat."

"..." Ye Guosheng came over and asked, "Are you caught?"

"not yet."

"Then don't do it, go into the room and blow on the fan, be careful of heatstroke."

"For a while, ah! It's on fire!" Ye Chi suddenly pointed at the paper on the ground and screamed, "Grandpa, look, look!"

Ye Guosheng leaned over, and the bright spots on the paper just now had flames. Although he didn't know that a magnifying glass is a convex lens, and a convex lens has the function of concentrating light and heat, he knew this phenomenon, but it was the first time for the three children of Yechi Knowing that and the experiment was successful, I was so happy that my eyes almost went blind.

After entering the room, he kept closing his eyes and rubbing his eyes. After a while, Ye Guosheng explained the danger of fire to the three children. The three children stopped experimenting with the magnifying glass to focus light, and turned to other things.

Playing other things is also very fun, and it is not affected by the summer at all. Half a month before the start of school, the three children did not continue to expose themselves to the sun, but paid attention to school matters.

The adults are starting to buy study stationery for the children. Ye Chi received a schoolbag from Lu Ming on his birthday, so he doesn’t need to buy a schoolbag. He needs to buy pencils, stationery boxes, erasers, pencil sharpeners, etc. It’s been a long time since he went to school. All three children were a little excited.

When he was excited, Ye Chi began to miss his mother, because his mother said that he would be back before school started, so when his mother called back, Ye Chi asked when his mother would come back, and his mother gave Ye Chi the answer, but it was a vague answer— — In the last few days, my mother went back.

In the past few days, which day is it?Ye Chi didn't know, but he was very happy. Every day when he opened his eyes and thought that his mother would come back, he was full of strength. After helping his grandfather sell the vegetables, he went to the bus stop to play, waiting for his mother while playing. Every time Lu Ming put Xiao Haozi to the bus stop.

Xiao Haozi said: "Why come here again, there is no fun here."

Ye Chi thought for a while and said, "We can sit on a rock."

"There are rocks everywhere, why do you have to sit here?"

"The rocks here are slippery."

"The mountains are more slippery."

"But...but...but I have to wait for my mother. My mother hasn't come here for a long time. What if I don't remember where my grandfather's house is and can't find me?"

Xiao Haozi was speechless.

Lu Mingfang said: "Ye Chi, I'll wait here with you."

Xiao Haozi glanced at Ye Chi's appearance, and felt that what he said just now was a bit too much, he slowed down a bit, and then said loudly: "Ye Chi, I will wait here with you, the rocks here are really slippery, we just play here .”

Ye Chi looked at Lu Mingfang, looked at Xiao Haozi, and then smiled, showing his white teeth, cured and beautiful, he and Lu Mingfang Xiao Haozi sat side by side on a stone, watching the passing buses, discussing endlessly On the bus, discuss from the carriage to the car tires, from the car tires to the screws, from the morning to the afternoon, and from the afternoon to the evening.

When the sun fell into the horizon, Ye Guosheng's Shi shout sounded behind him: "Ye Chi, go home."

"it is good."

Ye Chi took one last look into the distance, and then got up with his little son Lu Ming. Wanxia covered the three children with a soft light coat, and their normally supple faces were even more childish and cute at this time.

Xiao Haozi said, "Mom didn't come back today."

Lu Mingfang said: "Come and wait tomorrow."

Ye Chi said, "Brother Fang, thank you."

Xiao Haozi continued: "There is still me and me."

Ye Chi smiled and said, "Xiao Haozi also thank you."

"Admit it." Xiao Haozi imitated the heroes of martial arts movies and cupped his fists at Ye Chi.

Ye Chi clasped his fists and replied, "Where is that."

Lu Mingfang: "..."

At this moment, another bus behind him made a "chuck" brake sound, and the three children stopped at the same time and looked back.
