Little Farm Among the Clouds

After Gu Yaqing finished speaking, Lu Zhicheng also came over, and called Lu Mingfang a few times, but Lu Mingfang in the East Wing did not respond at all, Lu Zhicheng sighed and said, "I told him everything I needed to say, give him some time, let him think about it." Let's go."

Gu Yaqing frowned upon hearing this, not wanting to talk to Lu Zhicheng, and looked at the door worriedly.

Ye Guosheng nodded.

Ye Chi wanted to knock on the door, but at this time Shunzi came over to find Xiao Haozi for dinner, Ye Guosheng happened to have something to discuss with Shunzi, so he asked Ye Chi: "Ye Chi, are you going home with Grandpa?"

Ye Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I want to take Ming Fang home with me."

"If he doesn't come out, how can you bring him?"

"I called him and he came out."

Ye Guosheng looked at Lu Zhicheng and Gu Yaqing.

Gu Yaqing spoke first and said, "Let Xiaoyechi try it out, Ming Fang loves to listen to Xiaoyechi's words the most."

Lu Zhicheng said: "If he can shout out, let him play first."

Ye Guosheng nodded at Ye Chi.

Ye Chi took a step forward, leaned on the crack of the door and shouted, "Brother Fang, Brother Fang, Brother Fang, did you hear me? I'm Ye Chi."

After calling a few people to listen carefully, they heard some movement in the room, and encouraged Ye Chi to continue, Ye Chi lay on the door and said: "Brother Fang, open the door, open the door and go to my house for dinner, go to my house to play, we In the afternoon, go to the mountains to pull weeds, go to the mountains to play, bring big black and big flowers together, now Dahei is not afraid of big flowers, let brother, let go—"

The door opened with a "hula", and Lu Ming stared at Ye Chi with clear eyes, with undiminished anger and a little scary. As for scaring Ye Chi, Ye Chi stabilized, and whispered: "Brother Fang."

"Let's go." Lu Mingfang lifted his steps and walked out.

"..."

Lu Zhicheng shouted: "Mingfang, where are you going? Are you going to your Grandpa Ye's house? Mingfang."

"What are you calling him for? Tell him to play, doesn't he even have this little freedom?" Gu Yaqing said in a cold tone.

Lu Zhicheng was blocked at once, and shut up embarrassingly.

Ye Guosheng took a look at the two of them, and knew that Lu Zhicheng and Gu Yaqing had divorced. Gu Yaqing didn't want to see Lu Zhicheng, and Lu Zhicheng had no confidence in front of Gu Yaqing because of his cheating. This mess is someone else's business. , Ye Guosheng didn't ask too much, and turned to be a peacemaker, saying: "Ming Fang often comes to my place to play, it's okay."

Lu Zhicheng didn't speak.

Since Lu Mingfang's mental state improved and he was willing to answer Gu Yaqing's phone calls, Gu Yaqing often called Lu Mingfang, apologized to Lu Mingfang as a mother, and reconciled with Lu Mingfang as a friend.

Then he began to make up for his neglect of Lu Mingfang. At the same time, he understood Lu Mingfang's life, and knew that Lu Mingfang especially liked Ye Guosheng's family, especially Ye Chi.

Therefore, every time she buys something for Lu Mingfang, she will also buy one for Ye Chi. She is very willing to let Lu Mingfang get along with the simple and warm Ye Chi.

Just like she and her former friends had been separated for 30 years, maybe even longer, she politely said to Ye Guosheng: "Then Uncle Ye, I will disturb you tomorrow."

Ye Guosheng said with a smile, "What are you bothering me about? This kid Mingfang is very good. He usually helps me a lot."

Any child is happy to be praised, Gu Yaqing smiled.

Ye Guosheng waved his hands and said, "You guys are busy, go ahead, let's go."

"Uncle Ye, go slowly." Gu Yaqing and Lu Zhicheng sent Ye Guosheng off together.

"Hey." Ye Guosheng responded, wanting to reach out his hand to Yechi, looked down, but Yechi's little Haozi was gone, walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw that the two children had chased Lu Ming and let him go, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to Gu Yaqing and Lu Zhicheng, Follow the three kids with Sunja.

The three children were already walking side by side at this time, seeing Lu Mingfang's face tense, Xiao Haozi didn't dare to speak, Ye Chi shouted: "Brother Fang."

Lu Mingfang didn't respond.

Ye Chi said again: "Brother Fang, have you eaten breakfast?"

Lu Mingfang finally said, "Eat."

"Did you eat soup dumplings?"

"No."

"Did you eat tofu brain?"

"No."

"Then what do you eat?"

"Sandwiches and milk."

"I like sandwiches and milk too."

Lu Mingfang looked at Ye Chi upon hearing this.

Ye Chi immediately smiled sweetly at Lu Mingfang and said: "Then are you hungry now? You will have lunch at my house soon, okay? My grandpa said that we have cold noodles at noon. It is delicious, and we just use boiled water After the noodles are cooked, put them in warm water to cool down, then take them out, mix them with beans, shredded potatoes, eggplants, bean sprouts, a lot of vegetables, delicious, will you eat at my house too?"

Lu Mingfang nodded and said, "Okay."

After a few words, the three children arrived at Ye Guosheng's house, and Ye Guosheng Shunzi came after him. Shunzi called Xiao Haozi to go home for dinner. Xiao Haozi was drooling after listening to Ye Chi's dictation of cold noodles, and wanted to eat with Ye Chi at noon .

Shunzi has benefited too much from Ye Guosheng, he was really embarrassed to bother Ye Guosheng, and pulled Xiao Haozi away, but Ye Guosheng didn't stop him, shook his head and laughed, turned to look at Ye Chi, and said: " Cold noodles for lunch?"

Ye Chi's attitude is firm: "Yes."

"Okay, let's make cold noodles together, and come tomorrow."

Lu Mingfang nodded.

One old and two young moved three small stools and sat at the door of the kitchen to pick vegetables. They broke off the beans and put them into the plate; With a paring knife, peel off the skin of the potatoes one by one.

Ye Chi helps Ye Guosheng cook every day, and he is very skillful.Although Lu Mingfang was unfamiliar, he looked decent. The two children were immersed in their work. The noon sun stretched the shadow of the eaves and shrouded the two children, covering the two children from the sun. Coolness, refreshing.

Ye Guosheng was also in a good mood because of the comfortable weather, picked up the plate on the table and said, "Okay, let's start cooking."

Ye Chi said, "I'll light the fire."

"Row."

"Go, Brother Fang, let's go together."

Ye Chi pulled Lu Mingfang to sit in front of the stove, and the flames in the stove became even and stable, as if Lu Mingfang had also stabilized, Ye Chi then asked, "Brother Fang, are you leaving? You have to go to school in the city Yet?"

Lu Mingfang remained silent.

Ye Chi said: "Can't you not go?"

Ye Guosheng answered: "If you don't go, who will take care of him?"

"I take care of him."

Ye Guosheng: "..."

Lu Mingfang looked at Ye Chi.

Ye Chi said: "Brother Fang, I will take care of you, don't go to the city."

Lu Mingfang nodded.

"Ye Chi, don't talk nonsense." Ye Guosheng added another sentence.

Ye Chi retorted: "I'm not talking nonsense."

"Can you take care of Ming Fang?"

"can."

"How do you take care of it?"

"I can go to and leave school with Brother Fang, play together, do homework together, and sleep together."

"What about Ming Fang eating? What about washing clothes? What about parent-teacher meetings? What about sickness? What about problems at school?"

Ye Guosheng threw out one question after another, Ye Chi was speechless when he hit him, and looked at Lu Mingfang blankly, Lu Mingfang said stubbornly: "I won't go to the city!"

Ye Chi looked at Lu Mingfang, then at Ye Guosheng.

Just at this time the noodles were cooked, Ye Guosheng scooped the noodles into warm water, poured out the warm water, mixed vegetables, put a big bowl for Ye Chi and Lu Ming, Ye Chi took the chopsticks and was about to eat, but Lu Mingfang didn't move.

"Brother Fang." Ye Chi shouted.

Lu Ming couldn't let go.

"Brother Fang, you eat."

Lu Mingfang shook his head.

Ye Guosheng glanced at Lu Mingfang, sighed, and thought in his heart, this kid is really stubborn, but what's the use of being stubborn, children have their preferences, adults also have their helplessness, he opened his mouth to persuade Lu Mingfang to eat first and go to school Let's talk about it later.

The grandpa and grandson persuaded Lu Mingfang together. Lu Mingfang only had dinner now. After eating, he took a stroll and took a nap together. Maybe Lu Mingfang had been fighting against the Lu family for the past two days, so he didn't eat well or sleep well, so he came to Ye Guosheng. , ate a lot, fell asleep on Ye Chi's bed at noon, when Ye Chi woke up, Lu Mingfang was still sleeping, but Ye Guosheng was gone.

Ye Chi climbed out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked to the yard, where Ye Guosheng was flipping through his tobacco leaves.

Ye Guosheng likes to smoke dry tobacco. Because of Ye Chi, he does not smoke as often as before, but he still smokes. He has enclosed a small piece of land by himself and planted some tobacco leaves. After harvesting, I handle it by myself, washing, roasting, drying, and binding. Sometimes Yechi also helps.

At this time, the tobacco leaves had turned yellow, and Ye Guosheng was looking back and forth with a pipe in his mouth. Ye Chi came over and asked, "Grandpa, are the tobacco leaves ready to dry?"

"It's almost there, just put it away in the evening."

"Then I'll collect it when I come back from the mountain."

"Well, isn't Ming Fang awake?"

"No." Ye Chi said: "He hasn't slept well these two days."

"why?"

"He doesn't like his dad now."

"Then does he like his mother?" Ye Guosheng asked.

"I like it. His mother loves him too."

"It must hurt him." Ye Guosheng went to sit on the stone pier under the tree and said, "Generally, parents love their children."

"Then Brother Fang has to go with mother?" Ye Chi came to Ye Guosheng's body and asked, "Can't I not go?"

"Can not be done."

"why?"

Ye Guosheng was silent for a while, knocked the tobacco pot on the stone pier twice, knocked out the tobacco slag, put the pipe aside, and said, "Yechi, even if Mingfang doesn't leave this year, he will leave next year. If you don’t leave, you will leave next year.”

"why?"

"Because Ming Fang is different from the children here. Ming Fang's family is good, and he will be better in the future. His parents and relatives are highly educated, and he is smart. His parents will definitely give him the best education, first of all, the school.

"Jingshan Primary School is also good, but it's not as good as Shangli, or God's. In the future, Mingfang will definitely go to the best school, receive the best education, and maybe go abroad. This is the route his parents set for him. , He is so smart, and when he grows up a bit, he will choose this route, because this route is the best."

Ye Chi listened carefully, looking at his grandfather, he half understood these words, and he also half understood the meaning behind these words, but he seemed to understand some things.

Ye Guosheng held Ye Chi's little hand and said: "In the future, Ye Chi can also have the best life."

"How to go?"

"Study hard, knowledge can change destiny."

"Then can I be as good as Brother Fang?"

"Yes. Now the world is much fairer than before, and the country is better. However, you have to work harder than him." Ye Guosheng rubbed Ye Chi's little hand and said, "Ye Chi, what grandpa told you Grandpa doesn't know if you can understand these words, but Grandpa still wants to tell you, maybe you don't understand now, but you will definitely understand when you think about it later."

Ye Chi nodded.

Ye Guosheng said softly: "Recognize the difference between yourself and others, and do your best to be yourself. A few days ago, when you and grandpa were watching the lecture, didn't you see a sentence? Grandpa asked you to write it down, you remember down yet?"

"Write it down."

"Recite it to grandpa."

"'The tragedies of life often start from the imbalance of the self. The haze of fate, it starts from the dark clouds in the heart.' The professor said that many misfortunes in life start from the 'self'."

"Yes." Ye Guosheng nodded: "Grandpa doesn't know if it's right to tell you these things at this time. I want you to understand earlier, but I'm afraid you understand too soon. But now that Mingfang's matter is here, grandpa has another I have to tell you that people are different, grandpa believes you can understand. You are you, he is him, this will never change, he has his excellence, you also have your excellence, don't be sad, don't be unbalanced, Don't be discouraged, you can be yourself, do yourself well, and you can also go to the position you want. Do you understand?"

"I want to be myself."

"Well, then do you understand why Ming Fang won't stay here for a long time?"

Ye Chi nodded.

"Tell grandpa why."

"Because there is no one to take care of him, because he wants to go to a better school." Ye Chi said with his lips curled up: "But Brother Fang is gone, so I don't have Brother Fang anymore."

"How could it be? You have become very powerful in the future, and he is still your Brother Fang."

"really?"

"real."

"Then I will work hard."

"Yes, don't cry." Ye Guosheng touched Ye Chi's face with mixed emotions in his heart. In fact, he had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to say to Ye Chi.

I want to say that there are many helplessness in this world, which cannot be changed by manpower. I want to say that many children’s friendships are forgotten in the eyes of adults. I want to say that children should listen to adults. I want to say My lord can't help it... Ye Guosheng sighed, put his arms around Ye Chi and said, "Wash your hands, let's go to the mountain to pull weeds."

"Brother Fang hasn't woken up yet."

"He'll wake up when you're ready."

"it is good."

After Ye Chi washed his face, he saw that Lu Mingfang woke up, and he shouted happily, "Brother Fang!"

Lu Mingfang responded.

"Brother Fang, come here and wash your face. After washing your face, let's go up the mountain. It's cool on the mountain now!"

"it is good."

After washing his face, Ye Guosheng carried a hoe and walked in front with Dahei, Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang walked behind, walking, the mobile phone hanging around Lu Mingfang's neck rang, it was Gu Yaqing calling, asking Should he take all the books away? He hung up the phone directly.

Came to Jingshan, when weeding among the vegetables, the phone rang again, this time it was Lu Mingfang who didn't hang up the phone, but sat on the hillside to listen, Ye Chi dropped the small shovel in his hand, and followed, quietly Sit next to Lu Mingfang.

Lu Mingfang quietly listened to the gentle voice of grandma on the phone.

Ye Chi sat beside him quietly, looking up at the sky, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, very beautiful, better than winter, spring and summer, he watched without saying a word, until Lu Mingfang hung up the phone .

He asked, "Brother Fang, are you leaving?"

Lu Mingfang remained silent.

"Brother Fang, let's go."

Lu Mingfang looked at Ye Chi.

"If you don't leave, no one will take care of you here. And grandpa said, the school you go to is very good, and you can learn very good things in a very good school." Ye Chi thought while saying: "And Also, didn't you always want to be with your mother? This time you go with your mother, so you can be with your mother in the future. "

Although Lu Zhicheng and Gu Yaqing were mentally ill due to the divorce, Lu Mingfang still cared about them. He only told Ye Chi that he missed his mother and that he wanted to live with his mother. This was Lu Ming's worry. It hasn't changed, Ye Chi is also very important in his heart now, he looked at Ye Chi and said: "But we won't be able to meet each other."

"Yes, when I grow up, I will go to you. I told my grandfather that I want to study hard. When I grow up, I will be a pillar of the country. I will be so good at that time, I can go to I'm looking for you."

Lu Mingfang pursed his lips.

"Brother Fang, if you go to school here, no one will know if you are sick. As children, we have to listen to adults, and adults work very hard."

Lu Ming lowered his head and remained silent.

"Brother Fang."

Lu Mingfang looked up at Ye Chi and asked, "Will you forget me?"

Ye Chi said firmly: "No!"

"Then who is important, me or Xiao Haozi?"

"Brother Fang is important!"

"Will I be important in the future?" Lu Mingfang asked again.

Ye Chi nodded heavily: "Well, Brother Fang is the most important friend in my heart! No one can compare! Brother Fang and I are the best, best, best, best best friends in the world! Come on, We pull the hook."

Ye Chi stretched out his little finger, Lu Mingfang hooked it with his little finger, and said together: "Hang yourself on the hook, don't change it for 100 years, don't change it!"

"Okay." Ye Chi let go and said, "That's what we've agreed on."

Lu Mingfang also withdrew his hand and nodded.

Ye Chi felt a little sad, just like his mother was leaving that day, his sad mood was like the mountain spring flowing behind Jingshan Mountain, wave after wave, he blinked his bright eyes, and when he looked into the distance, he saw Xiang Gu Yaqing and Lu Zhicheng came here.
