Little Farm Among the Clouds

Chapter 29

In fact, Ye Guosheng and Ye Chi said that wherever grandpa is, that is his home, and what anyone says doesn’t count, but along the way, there are all different voices, and suddenly there is one more person who agrees with his existence, It seemed that an invisible force helped him and gave him more confidence.

After staring blankly at Ye Fengxia, he looked at Ye Guosheng again. Ye Guosheng knew that his daughter had been bewitched by his elder son, and he was determined to fight his daughter to the end, but he didn't expect her daughter to let him raise Ye Chi. He didn't dare Ask confidently: "Fengxia, what did you say?"

Ye Fengxia said: "Dad, I support you in raising Ye Chi."

Ye Guosheng calmed down, and spoke again: "Didn't your elder brother tell you——"

"Dad, big brother is big brother, I am me, you are you, we all have our own ideas, and you also have your own ideas, we all have to respect each other, don't we? You taught me this before."

"Did I teach you?" Ye Guosheng said with a smile, "I'm not so educated."

"You taught it by behavior."

"Then why didn't your elder brother and second brother learn?"

When Ye Hongwei and Ye Hongtao were mentioned, Ye Guosheng was bound to be depressed for a while. In order to prevent the old man from changing his mood, Ye Fengxia immediately replied: "Because I am smarter, the smartest, Dad, don't you think so?"

No matter how old a child is, they will always be children in the eyes of their parents. Hearing Ye Fengxia's playful question, Ye Guosheng smiled and said, "Yes, you are the smartest."

Ye Fengxia laughed happily.

When the adults laughed, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and the children also relaxed. They didn't know what to laugh, so they just laughed along with the adults.

At this time, Ye Chi also dared to speak, holding the clothes, shoes and snacks in his arms, and said to Ye Guosheng: "Grandpa, look, look, these are bought for me by my aunt, two sets of clothes, two pairs Shoes, as well as candied haws, marshmallows, and chicken fillets. Grandpa, look at them. Candied haws, marshmallows, and chicken fillets are for you to eat. Chicken fillets are especially easy to bite. Grandpa, you can eat them. Grandpa, help me, I I can't hold it anymore."

Ye Guosheng quickly reached out to take it, feeling heavy, looked at Ye Fengxia, and said warmly, "Why did you buy so many things for Ye Chi?"

"Isn't it just two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes?"

"How much?" Ye Guosheng stretched out his hand and began to take out his pocket. He knew that Ye Fengxia had two children and the burden was heavy, and he couldn't let Ye Fengxia spend more money, so he took out a roll of money from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Fengxia before he could count it. , Ye Fengxia didn't want to say anything, turned around and went into the kitchen to start cooking.

Ye Guosheng had no choice but to put away the money, and went into the kitchen to sit in front of the stove and light a fire. Ye Chi Lingling sat on a stool in the courtyard and ate candied haws. eat."

Ye Chi gave Lingling his candied haws.

Lingling pointed to the cottage: "Brother, there is another one in the room."

"That one can't be eaten, that one is for Brother Fang."

"For Brother Fang."

"Lingling, you can't be called Brother Fang, you are called Brother Lu." Ye Chi corrected Lingling.

Lingling changed her words obediently: "Brother Lu."

"Yes, after we finish our lunch, we'll go find him with candied haws, okay?"

"Okay." Lingling obediently agreed.

"Then Lingling, don't eat that string of candied haws. Let's have dinner later, okay?"

"it is good."

"It's so cute!"

"Ah."

Ye Chi gave half of his candied haws to Lingling. The two children sat in front of Dahei, basking in the sun, looking at the little yellow chicken. Behind them was Ye Fengxia, who was busy talking about life with Ye Guosheng. Things, talking about Ye Chi.

Ye Guosheng said: "Life is much better now than before, and the state takes care of it a lot. I heard that we don't need tuition fees for elementary school here, just pay some miscellaneous fees. In a few days, we will sell the little yellow chickens and lettuce, and we can make up 1000 yuan." Once the debts are paid off, I will save money for Ye Chi to go to school. Although I can’t make much from selling vegetables, I can earn a little every day, and if I add up, I don’t need much money for primary school, and I can save enough for middle school, high school and college tuition.”

Ye Fengxia said: "He can go to university and apply for bursaries from the state and the school by himself, and he can just go back to school after five years of work."

"Can I still apply for a bursary?" Ye Guosheng didn't quite understand this.

"Yes, as smart as Ye Chi, you must study well, and you will definitely be able to apply. Maybe you can even get a scholarship."

Ye Guosheng was overjoyed, and said sincerely: "The country is really good. There were no grants and scholarships before. It's no wonder that the country was poor at that time. Now that the country is rich, remember us poor people who gave me a bag of rice last time."

Ye Guosheng has a patriotic heart, and Ye Fengxia knew it since she was a child, and she was deeply affected. When she heard Ye Guosheng say this, she laughed, and talked to Ye Guosheng about farming, and the meal was ready in a short time , calling Ye Chi Lingling to wash his hands and eat. The meal was extremely rich, including chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and vegetables, all in color and taste. When two adults and two children were sitting around the small dining table and were about to eat, Ye Hongwei came, but there was no Entering the courtyard gate, she directly called Ye Fengxia to go out.

Ye Fengxia glanced at Ye Guosheng, stood up, Ye Chi and Lingling looked at Ye Fengxia at the same time, Lingling shouted: "Mom, where are you going?"

Ye Fengxia said: "Mom, go out for a while, you can have a good meal here with your brother."

"it is good."

Ye Fengxia walked out of the yard, and Ye Fengxia came back in about 10 minutes.

Ye Guosheng asked, "What did he call you for?"

Ye Fengxia reached out and pinched off the rice grains from Lingling's mouth, and Ye Chi's mouth by the way, and replied, "Call me to have lunch."

"What lunch? I'm afraid I'm uneasy and kind."

"It's almost the same as what I said before, I rejected him." Ye Fengxia finished speaking with a smile, took a piece of cooked braised pork for Ye Guosheng, and said: "Dad, don't worry, I respect and support you. "

Ye Guosheng snorted, but felt a little relieved in his heart because of his daughter's support, and immersed himself in eating the braised pork. Ye Fengxia raised her hand and held the two chicken legs to Ye Chi and Lingling respectively.

Lingling picked it up and ate it, while Ye Chi was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Ye Fengxia.

Ye Fengxia smiled and said: "Eat, it's okay, eat more."

Ye Chi nodded, took a bite of the chicken leg, thinking that just now his aunt not only squeezed the rice grains off his mouth, but also gave him a big chicken leg to eat, which was as good as his grandfather, so little flowers bloomed in his heart, and he was very happy.

Beautiful!

After eating, Ye Chi was still very happy, and wanted to help Ye Fengxia wash the dishes. He said that when he was with his mother before, she would not come back at noon, so he always ate hot instant noodles, and he would wash the dishes by himself. Listen. Ye Fengxia's eyes were red, not only didn't let him wash the dishes, but instead pulled him and Lingling to wash his and Lingling's little hands with soap, which made Ye Chi very happy.

The happy Ye Chi danced in the yard, saw a bunch of candied haws on the haystack in the thatched cottage, suddenly thought of Lu Mingfang, and pulled Lingling to find Lu Mingfang, Ye Guosheng said, "Shall we go now?"

Ye Chi nodded.

"Okay, you go now, and take your sister to the mountain to find grandpa in a while."

"Is grandpa going to the mountains? Is aunt going too?"

"Well, Qingming is coming soon, grandpa and aunt want to burn some paper money for your grandma, and after washing the dishes, I will go to the foot of the mountain. Do you know where your grandma is?"

"Yes, that little house is grandma's home."

"Yes. Take good care of my sister."

"I see. I'll take my sister to the mountain to find you later."

"Ah."

Ye Chi took cotton candy, chicken tenders and candied haws, and took Lingling's little hand towards Lu Mingfang's house. When passing by a small convenience store, through the glass, Lingling saw a lot of delicious food inside, and said, "Brother, I I want spicy noodles."

"We have a lot to eat, so we won't eat spicy strips."

"Um no, I want to eat spicy strips."

"Is it okay not to eat?"

"I want to eat." Lingling looked at the convenience store eagerly.

Ye Chi drooled a little when he mentioned the spicy strips. He wanted to eat it too. He touched the one yuan in his hand, thinking that he would only spend today’s one yuan, and not spend it in the future. He would save all the future ones, so he said: " Well then, brother, buy it."

Ye Chi's one dollar today was not spent on the walk, but now he will spend it at the convenience store. He took Lingling's little hand and bought two bags of spicy sticks at the convenience store to prevent Lingling from being distracted and making trouble on the way. Angry, he hung Lingling to Lu Mingfang's house like a carrot hanging from a donkey, and then hung Lingling to Jingshan with Lu Mingfang.

Lingling said softly: "Brother, I want to eat spicy strips."

Ye Chi coaxed: "I'll eat it when I go to the mountain."

Lingling swallowed her saliva and said, "Brother, I want to eat spicy strips right now."

Ye Chi continued to coax: "Don't eat now, it's easy to fall when you walk while eating, it hurts when you fall, and you will cry in pain, let's not eat now, walk well, let's eat together when we get to the mountain, eat super delicious food together, okay?" Okay? Look, Dahei is running ahead, let's run fast and chase after it, okay?"

"Okay." Lingling responded softly.

Lingling agreed well, and said after a while: "Brother, I want to eat spicy strips."

Ye Chi continued to coax.

Lu Ming put it aside and watched and listened.

Just like this, when Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang coaxed Lingling to the foot of Jingshan Mountain, they saw Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia kneeling in front of Mrs. Ye's grave, and when the three children ran to her, Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia hurriedly wiped away their tears, Ling didn't see it, and threw herself into Ye Fengxia's arms, but Ye Chi and Lu Mingfang saw it.

Lu Mingfang turned his head to look at the tombstone, but didn't make a sound.

Ye Chi slowly approached Ye Guosheng. He still doesn't understand the representative meaning of the tomb, and he doesn't know what "memory" is, but he vaguely feels a long-lasting emotion that connects people inside and outside the tomb. He called softly, "Grandpa."

Ye Guosheng said, "Come here and kowtow to your grandma."

Ye Fengxia also said: "Lingling, go kowtow to grandma with my brother."

Lingling obediently walked to Ye Chi, Lu Mingfang also came to Ye Chi with great discernment, the three children solemnly kowtowed to the grave, when Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia got up, there was no sad expression on their faces , Carrying a hoe to plant and dig vegetables next to it.

Ye Chi knew where to plant and dig vegetables, and ran forward ahead of time as usual.

Ye Fengxia called Ye Chi to stop.

Ye Chi looked back at Ye Fengxia: "Auntie."

Ye Fengxia asked: "What are you doing?"

Ye Chi replied: "I'm going to plant and dig vegetables."

Ye Fengxia smiled: "My aunt is here today, so you won't be allowed to plant and dig vegetables. You can go and play with your younger sister Mingfang."

Ye Chi looked at Ye Guosheng hesitantly, Ye Guosheng said with a smile: "You go."

"If I go, grandpa will be very tired."

Ye Guosheng laughed: "No, there are few dishes now, so I won't be tired."

Ye Fengxia followed up and said: "Go, we will grow vegetables in a while, I will go find you."

Only then did Ye Chi agree, and then climbed up the mountain together with Lu Mingfang and Lingling. Lingling was young and a little girl, and couldn't climb to the top of the mountain. Yechi and Lu Mingfang took Lingling to sit on the crooked tree halfway up the mountain. body.

Lingling never forgot: "Brother, I eat spicy strips."

Sitting in Yechi in the middle, he took out the spicy strips, marshmallows, chicken tenders and yogurt from the box, divided them into three equal portions, and distributed them to three of them. The last bunch of candied haws was given to Lu Mingfang and said: "Brother Fang! This For you!"

Lu Mingfang looked at the candied haws.

Ye Chi said: "You eat."

Lu Mingfang asked: "Have you eaten?"

Ye Chi stretched out his hand and said, "I ate two." Lingling ate the rest.

Lu Mingfang immediately handed the candied haws to Ye Chi: "Eat another one."

Ye Chi also wanted to eat, so he immediately bit off one, pinching and licking it with his little hands.

Lingling said softly after seeing it: "Brother, I also eat candied haws."

Ye Chi looked at Lu Mingfang.

Lu Mingfang didn't say to give it to Lingling, nor did he say no to it.

Ye Chi hesitated for a moment, and said in a deliberative tone, "Brother Fang, can you give my sister one too? My sister is young." If she is young, we, as brothers, should love her a little bit.

Lu Mingfang nodded, and took another one off the candied haws and handed it to Lingling.

Lingling licked the candied haws and called again: "Brother."

Ye Chi immediately turned to look at Lingling.

"Brother, I can't tear the spicy strips."

"I'll tear it up for you."

"Brother, I still eat cotton candy."

"it is good."

"Brother, I also have a chicken fillet."

"Ah."

Lu Mingfang next to him looked straight at Ye Chi, and when Ye Chi was upright, he forcibly sat between Ye Chi and Lingling. When Lingling looked up, he saw Lu Mingfang, blinking his round eyes, and then tilted his head , looking past Lu Mingfang, shouted: "Brother."

Ye Chi said: "It's okay, you can sit there and eat."

Lingling nodded and said, "Okay."

Lingling saw Lu Mingfang sitting next to her, she fell silent, and slowly ate what was in her hand, Lu Mingfang sat in the middle very reassuringly, turned to look at Ye Chi, Ye Chi concentrated on eating snacks, so he also lowered his head to eat, After the three children finished eating candied haws, marshmallows, and chicken tenders, they began to eat spicy strips. Their mouths were red from the spicy food, and they couldn't stop sucking.

Ye Chi and Lingling said together: "It's so spicy."

Lu Mingfang handed the yogurt to Yechi.

Seeing this, Lingling said, "Brother Lu, I also drink milk."

Lu Mingfang just took the straw, inserted it into the yogurt hole, and handed it to Lingling. Lingling hugged the yogurt and stopped talking. Lu Mingfang and Ye Chi drank the yogurt together, looking at the distance, the green spring in the distance, Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, I heard the big yellow cow mooing down the mountain.

Ye Chi pulled the straw out of his mouth, followed: "Moo~~"

Lingling sees the same and learns the same: "Moo~~"

Ye Chi: "Moo~~~~"

Lingling: "Moo~~~~"

Lu Mingfang: "..."

Ye Chi turned his head and said to Lu Mingfang: "Brother Fang, you can also meow like a cow."

Lu Mingfang said, "I won't learn."

"you will not."

"I can."

"You will call you, and we are all bulls."

"not called."

"Call out."

Lu Mingfang is only a child of seven or eight years old. Like all children, he likes nature and animals. Seeing the big yellow cow lowing and seeing Ye Chi Lingling follow suit, he really couldn't suppress something in his heart, and his little mouth opened Zhang, the anxious Ye Chi opened his mouth and let out a moo.

Lu Mingfang tried it again, and made a moo sound. Although it was not standard, it was already very rare. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once it starts, many things will gradually become natural.

Ye Chi said: "Brother Fang, that's how it's called, moo~~"

Lingling: "Moo~~"

Lu Mingfang: "Moo~~"

The big yellow ox at the foot of the mountain mooed again.

Ye Chi, Lu Ming, Fang Lingling and the three mooed in unison.

The big ox mooed again as if competing with them.

Ye Chi mooed together.

After repeating this several times, the big yellow ox stopped mooing!

The three of Ye Chi felt that they had won, and laughed, and Ye Chi even said to the mountain: "You rhubarb, you can't beat the three of us, just a little bit."

Lingling likes to imitate Ye Chi, and then rushed down the mountain: "Slightly slightly."

Ye Chi: "Slightly slightly."

Lu Mingfang on the side looked at Ye Chi and made grimaces, and looked at the big yellow ox at home slightly. It looked lively and cute, and it was very good-looking. His closed heart gradually felt relieved, and he just watched Ye Chi play around.

Until the call came from the bottom of the mountain, he followed Ye Chi Lingling and ran down the mountain in a good mood. When they ran down the mountain, Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia both had vegetables in their hands, and then led the big yellow cattle towards the house.

After arriving home, Ye Chi and Lu Ming let Lingling squat in front of the chicken coop to watch the eggs break their shells.Ye Fengxia wanted to start washing clothes for Ye Guosheng and Ye Chi, but Ye Guosheng refused to give up, Ye Fengxia had no choice but to give up and call Lingling.

Yechi Luming let Lingling out together, Lingling asked: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Ye Fengxia said, "Let's go, we're going home."

"Where do you go home?" Lingling asked.

"Go back to our own home."

Lingling was stunned for a moment.

Ye Chi was also stunned, and came up and asked, "Auntie, are you leaving?"

Ye Fengxia said, "Yes."

Ye Chi is reluctant, he likes his aunt, he doesn't like to be separated, he likes all people together, mother, grandpa, brother Fang, aunt, Lingling, grandpa Lu and grandma Lu all live together, all their lives together, Having lived happily together all his life, he asked blankly, "Auntie, can you not leave?"

Ye Fengxia smiled and said, "I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because my aunt's home is not here."

"Auntie, can't you move your family here? We are all together."

Ye Fengxia laughed again, her heart warmed, she walked over and touched Ye Chi's little head and said, "I can't move here now, because my aunt has to go to work and make money, so that I can live a good life, aunt first go to the hospital. Go to work, after the holiday, aunt will come to see you and grandpa, okay?"

Ye Chi knew that it was useless for him to say no, he looked at his aunt, in fact, he understood why adults are so complicated, why adults have to go to other places as soon as they make money, why adults always like to do things he doesn't want to do, he thought He doesn't understand, he feels that adults always have a lot of "because", these "because" can't answer "so", but he can't find a more accurate "because", so he can only nod reluctantly.

"What a good boy, Yechi is growing up well, healthy and happy." Ye Fengxia said softly, "When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, aunt will come over to make zongzi for you. Then aunt will stay here for a few more days."

Ye Chi nodded.

After Ye Fengxia comforted her, she took Lingling's little hand to leave, but Lingling shook off Ye Fengxia's hand and threw herself into Ye Chi's arms.

Ye Chi was taken aback.

Lu Mingfang was also stunned.

Ye Fengxia asked: "Lingling, what are you doing? Let's go home."

Lingling cried loudly: "I'm not going home, I want to play with my brother, I'm not going home, Dad, I'm not going home, Dad, I want to be with my brother."

Hugging Ye Chi, crying and shouting "Dad, I'm not going home", it was a very sad thing, but Ye Guosheng and Ye Fengxia were made to laugh and cry by Lingling. After a while, Ye Fengxia stretched out her hand to pull Lingling, Lingling wiped a lot of tears and snot on Ye Chi's body, and hugged Ye Chi without letting go.

Ye Fengxia: "..."

Ye Guosheng: "..."

Lu Mingfang: "..."

Ye Chi: "..."
