Little Farm Among the Clouds

Chapter 12

The little boy's voice caught the attention of Ye Guosheng and the old lady Lu, and the old lady looked at the window and said softly: "Lu Mingfang, didn't you say you want to watch TV well, why are you yelling now? Look, you're scared With my brother."

Lu Mingfang hummed, ignored no one, turned and left the window.

"You child..." Mrs. Lu looked at Ye Guosheng apologetically and said, "Brother Ye, I made you laugh. This is my eldest grandson, Lu Mingfang, who doesn't like to see people."

Ye Guosheng lowered his voice and asked, "His aunt, is this child the one who just came from the city?"

The old lady Lu nodded, and said in the same low voice: "Actually, I'm not just here. I've been here for a while, but I don't like to go out with others, so you haven't seen her before."

"Are his parents..." Ye Guosheng didn't say what happened next.

"Yes." Grandma Lu answered, followed by a sigh, and didn't know what to say. She happened to see the little Ye Chi standing beside her. Seeing Ye Chi's handsome appearance, one of the best in a hundred, she asked in amazement: " Oh, brother Ye, this is your little grandson Ye Chi, isn't it?"

"Yes." Ye Guosheng smiled and patted Ye Chi's head and said, "Ye Chi, come here and say hello to Grandma Lu. I was too busy talking just now, so I forgot this child, her name is Grandma Lu."

Ye Chi immediately said, "Grandma Lu, good afternoon."

The old lady Lu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. How old are you?"

Ye Chi replied: "I am more than six years old, almost seven years old."

The old lady Lu gently touched Ye Chi's small head and said, "It's a little smaller than my family's Ming Fang. My family's Ming Fang just passed his seventh birthday. Son, have you gone to school yet?"

"Not yet." Ye Chi replied: "However, I will be able to enter the first grade when school starts in September."

"It just so happens that my family will go to school in September tomorrow, so we will go to school together later, okay?"

Ye Chi looked at Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu was a gentle old lady, her eyes and words were kind, her body also smelled clean, and she didn't look like she hated her. He liked such an old lady. Nodding, looking very serious.

"Oh, this child is so good-looking, so good-looking." Mrs. Lu happily said to Ye Guosheng: "Brother Ye, your little grandson is so handsome and sensible, it's really painful."

Ye Guosheng politely said: "Your grandson is also handsome."

"My eldest grandson is not good, my eldest grandson is too bad-tempered." The old lady Lu seemed to be afraid that Lu Mingfang would hear, and whispered: "It's very bad, and you know it. I've been here for a few months. The people here I don't like him, and he doesn't go out to play, I think about how to educate him every day, and I can't blame him, alas, it's all his parents..."

After that, the old lady Lu felt that her family was ugly, so she didn't go on. Ye Guosheng also guessed that it was nothing more than the irresponsibility of the parents, which made the children hurt. He sighed and changed to other topics, saying As we talked, we talked about raising children.

Mrs. Lu glanced at Ye Chi and asked, "Brother Ye, can you raise this child?"

Ye Guosheng said: "Okay, you forgot, I have always been in good health."

Although Ye Guosheng is thin, he has always been strong. Back then, he could carry two bags of grain. Although he is seventy now, his body is also very strong. The old lady Lu asked, "Then his father's money has been paid?"

Ye Guosheng said: "It's coming soon, there aren't many more."

"That's good, by the way, how are you selling bamboo shoots in the market these two days?"

When mentioning bamboo shoots, Ye Guosheng smiled a little and said, "It's pretty good."

"Continue to sell bamboo shoots in the future?"

"If you can continue to sell, continue to sell, if you can't sell, then think of another way."

"Then do you have any other income?"

"It's a little subsistence allowance, but the money is very little." Ye Guosheng said: "But it's better than nothing."

The old lady Lu nodded: "Oh, brother Ye, you're quite old, it's not easy."

"It's nothing." Ye Guosheng said so, but there was also some melancholy in his tone.

"..."

The two old people were chatting, and Ye Chi stood by and listened. The adults thought he was too young to understand what he said, so they didn't shy away from it, but he understood everything. He listened quietly, and he liked listening to adults. Yes, because an adult knows more than a child, he can learn a lot of knowledge.

After listening for a while, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the window just now, and saw that boy named Lu Mingfang sitting in the room, watching TV intently, what he gave him was a nice side face, he thought this boy named Lu Mingfang was fierce A bit fierce, but good-looking, so forgive him for being so fierce just now.

"Yechi."

Ye Chi heard the sound and turned to Ye Guosheng.

Ye Guosheng said: "Okay, let's go home."

Ye Chi said goodbye to Mrs. Lu, and let Ye Guosheng pull him outside, and walked out of Lu's yard. Ye Chi remembered the conversation between his grandfather and Grandma Lu just now, and asked, "Grandpa, our bamboo shoots are sold out." ?"

Ye Guosheng lowered his head and replied, "Not yet."

"Then why did you return the tricycle?"

"Because it's someone else's tricycle, and others have to use it, so I can't delay other people's business."

Ye Chi nodded in agreement, and asked after a while, "Then what shall we use to pack bamboo shoots in the future?"

Ye Guosheng said: "Use baskets and carry them on poles."

Ye Chi thought and thought, searched the equivalent of "carrying pole" from his small head, and knew that the carrying pole is a long strip of bamboo and wood utensils, tied at both ends, and many things can be tied under the rope, and then picked up on the shoulders, he After understanding, he said, "Grandpa, let me help you choose."

Ye Guosheng said cheerfully, "Okay, you can choose if you can."

"Well, I will help grandpa pick corn, peanuts, and sweet potatoes in the future!" Ye Chi followed with a long list of crops, which are commonly used by Ye Guosheng's family.

Ye Guosheng turned his head and asked, "Do you still want to sell corn, peanuts and sweet potatoes?"

Ye Chi asked back: "Grandpa, don't you want to sell?"

Ye Guosheng thought that since the bamboo shoots are all sold, then corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, peppers, etc. can all be sold. Plant jade flowers, peanuts, sweet potatoes, bamboo and peppers, one for five yuan, one hundred for 500 yuan, one thousand for 5000 yuan, two thousand, two thousand... I won’t forget .”

"Would that be tiring?"

"Then, then, why don't you get tired?" Ye Chi didn't know how philosophical this sentence was, so he just asked casually.

To be honest, Ye Guosheng has had this idea in the past two days, but he has been hesitating, whether it is appropriate to grow vegetables and sell them, etc. Hearing Ye Chi's words, it seems that he has a boost.

Since he put his face down and sold bamboo shoots, he didn't care about selling sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn.

Yes, selling sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn. What he knows best in his life is farming, so he can plant it and harvest a little every month. There is no need to pay rent, public grain, or mortgage to support him and his children. More than enough grandchildren.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Guosheng suddenly became enlightened, and felt that there was a rush ahead, he looked at Ye Chi and said, "Little grandson, you are right! We planted things all over the mountain."

"Grow candied haws too!"

Ye Guosheng laughed out loud.

Seeing Ye Guosheng smile, Ye Chi also smiled, he likes to see his grandpa smile the most now, every wrinkle of his grandpa smile is like the light from a star, it is very warm, he bounces up and down warmly.

Ye Guosheng smiled and said, "Slow down, don't fall."

Ye Chi said: "I won't fall."

Then he fell to the ground with a "crack", and Ye Chi groaned when he fell. Ye Guosheng hurried to pull it. When Ye Chi got up, he heard a "puchi" laugh from behind him. He looked in response and saw There was a little boy standing on the second floor of Grandma Lu's house, it was Lu Mingfang just now.

Lu Mingfang was white, with dark eyes, and he looked very good-looking. He was the best boy Ye Chi had ever seen. He thought to himself: "For the sake of your good looks, I will forgive you and not be with you." care about."

Ye Chi dragged Ye Guosheng away.

Lu Mingfang went downstairs with a "hum".

When Ye Chi looked back, he couldn't see Lu Mingfang, so he said: "Grandpa, Lu Mingfang was peeping at us just now."

Ye Guosheng looked back and saw nothing. Thinking of everyone's evaluation of Lu Mingfang, Lu Mingfang was a very weird kid, hundreds of times more tricky than Ye Yanbo, so he couldn't help but say: "When I see Lu Mingfang in the future, leave him alone." Do you know far away?"

"why?"

"He has a bad temper."

"Should I stay away if I have a bad temper?"

"Well, I'm afraid that if he beats you, you won't be able to beat him." Ye Guosheng has no prejudice against Lu Mingfang, he is just afraid that Ye Chi will suffer.

Ye Chi fell silent, thinking that Lu Mingfang's aggressive appearance was really difficult to get along with, so it's better to stay away.

Ye Guosheng patted Ye Chi's head and said, "But don't worry, he won't go out."

Ye Chi nodded with a smile, Lu Mingfang put it to the back of his mind, and then he went home with Ye Guosheng full of energy, and the two of them discussed planting crops on the way.

Ye Chi asked: "Grandpa, can I grow apples?"

Ye Guosheng said, "Yes."

"Plant on Jingshan."

"No problem, the things grown on Jingshan are more delicious than other places." Another point is that the crop cycle in Jingshan is short.

"I'll grow it, I like to eat apples."

"Well, starting tomorrow, we will start buying seeds."

"You can plant the seeds after you buy them." Ye Chi held Ye Guosheng's hand, walked and danced, and said, "After you plant them, you can grow apples. Apples are very delicious."

The grandfather and grandson were talking, when they looked up, they saw Ye Yanbo lying on the gate of the yard, looking furtively at something in the yard.

Ye Chi was puzzled, why did Ye Yanbo come again?

Ye Guosheng shouted loudly: "Yanbo, what are you doing?"
