Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 452 Chocolate

The people in the courtyard would go to the small courtyard to have a look at it every now and then, and pull out the weeds growing in the small courtyard along the way.

It can be said that the reason why the corn in the small courtyard grows so well is not only the excellent seeds, but also the hard work of those insiders in the courtyard.

Many of them are veterans of work. Even if they have been away from the land for many years, they are much more skilled in taking care of these corns than Zhang Yu.

Watering, fertilizing, and weeding are all things they can do at their fingertips, making Zhang Yu useless at all.

So after checking it again, Zhang Yu just pretended to stay in the small courtyard for a while, and then prepared to leave.

When he was leaving, he happened to meet Uncle Zhao walking towards the small courtyard with his hands behind his back, and was surprised to see Zhang Yu who was about to lock the door at the door.

"Xiaoyu, when did you come back?"

"Uncle Zhao, I just came back today." Zhang Yu stopped locking the door and turned around to respond.

"Then how long can you stay at home this time?" Uncle Zhao asked this because he learned about Zhang Yu's recent scramble from Director Wang and the others.

"Just one day, I have to leave tomorrow." Zhang Yu said, looking at Xiaoyuaner again, just about to thank Uncle Zhao and the others for taking care of Xiaoyuaner, but he was misunderstood by Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao thought that Zhang Yu was worried about the corn in the small courtyard, so he patted his chest and promised, "Just put your heart in your stomach, we are here, we promise to show you well, and wait for you to come back When you get home, make sure there isn't even a blade of grass in the cornfield."

As soon as Uncle Zhao opened his mouth, Zhang Yu knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, but he had already said so much, what else could Zhang Yu say, he could only make mistakes, and said, "Look, what happened to this matter?" , It was supposed to be my work, but it was all spread to you, Mr. Zhao, and I added a lot of work to you..."

Before Zhang Yu finished speaking, Uncle Zhao raised his hand and interrupted him, "Hey, what's the matter? It's just a matter of reaching out. Besides, you didn't get these things for yourself, but for the country. Contribution.

It’s just about weeding, it’s worth saying thank you. "

Uncle Zhao said, and made a joke: "Xiaoyu, you don't know that all the grass in your yard has to be robbed. If it weren't for your quick hands, Uncle Zhao, I wouldn't be able to pull it out. As soon as the tooth came out, someone pulled it out."

After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, he went into the small courtyard to have a look, and when he came out, he said with some embarrassment: "You don't know, everyone only comes to see it every day, so I don't feel at ease. I have seen the corn in the courtyard. After that, I feel that the whole person is full of energy.”

For his words, Zhang Yu pursed his lips, but didn't know how to answer.

He has seen the prosperity of the later generations, and the life of the people after seeing it, and he has advanced knowledge about many things. When he sees the lives of people in this era, he always feels that he has not done enough.

Uncle Zhao simply didn't want him to answer anything, but just patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Xiaoyu, you have done well enough, those corns are proof, when these batches of corn are cultivated, they can feed more people. Many people, this is all your credit."

"Uncle Zhao, I..."

"Okay, okay, go back and rest, it's a rare day when you come back, you really have to frown with me, an old man! You are still young, you shouldn't be like an old man like me, carrying everything on your body, these things With old men like us, it’s not your turn to carry it.”

I don't know if he saw Zhang Yu's entanglement. Although Uncle Zhao didn't open his mouth to break his mind, he still gave Zhang Yu some pointers.

"Okay, go get busy with your business, your aunt is waiting for me to eat now."

After listening to Uncle Zhao's words, Zhang Yu didn't know whether he was relieved or he figured it out, Zhang Yu felt relaxed.

Although the future is not so clear, but there is already a direction, and he is walking towards home, where his family is waiting for him.

After Zhang Yu came back, the food standard at home has increased a lot.

That night, Zhang Yu ate noodles with vegetables and eggs, which he had brought back with an excuse some time ago. Zhang Guifang and the others had never been willing to eat them. Zhang Guifang was so happy when Zhang Yu came back today that he ordered all of them for the first time.

There are also a few green vegetables in the noodles, which Zhang Guifang picked from the yard.

Because she was really happy, Zhang Guifang made a big deal, and extravagantly put an egg fried in lard in the noodles.

Looking at today's dinner, Zhao Feng and the others were extremely envious, and wished that Zhang Yu would be at home every day.

In addition to the noodles, there is also a small plate of pickled vegetables pickled by Zhang Yu on the table. Yes, the pickles eaten at home are all pickled by Zhang Yu. up.

The whole family just ate the little pickles, soup and noodles in a daze.

After dinner, it was getting late. Seeing that Zhao Wenzhuo could not come back tonight, Zhang Yu went back to rest.

After washing up, Zhang Yu climbed onto the big bed that he was thinking about, rolled around, threw away all his thoughts, and fell asleep.

It's a rare rest, and the feeling of waking up naturally after a sleep is really great.

The next morning, Zhang Yu got up and stretched, got up and opened the curtains, instantly every corner of the room was filled with the smell of sunshine.

Opening the window, Zhang Yu was refreshed by the fresh and pleasant air, and completely drove away the residual drowsiness after getting up; the cool morning breeze rushed to his face, which immediately refreshed him, and his whole body seemed to have experienced a Like baptism.

At this moment, Zhang Yu just raised his eyes to look at his watch. It was seven o'clock sharp, and there were still seven hours before Director Wang and the others came to pick him up.

There are a lot of things I can do during this time, like going to the scrap yard yesterday to see if I can find any clues or something.

Of course, the more important thing is to look at the traces they dug yesterday, and then tell Zhao Wenzhuo after confirming it.

Just do what you say, Zhang Yu made preparations before going out.

When he walked through the yard, his eyes accidentally glanced at a five or six-year-old child, who looked a little strange, not like a child in their yard.

The child was wearing a small green military uniform, and was holding a black, round thing in his hand to show off to his friends.

When he walked over, he heard the child say proudly: "Chocolate, this is chocolate in my hand, have you ever seen it, chocolate, delicious chocolate."

As he spoke, he took a small sip of the chocolate in his hand, resisting the urge to eat it in one bite, and smiled triumphantly as he looked at the coveted eyes of a group of children.
