Chapter 48 tacit understanding
After eating, Shen Yuxiu and Shen Yulin went to school with their schoolbags on their backs. Grandma Fang also went to her daughter's house to pick up the baby as usual. Only Fang Youshun fell last because of Zhao Hui today.

Fang Youshun tied the chopped sweet potato vines with straw ropes for Zhao Hui to carry on his back. He led him out and asked where Zhao Hui's village was. After locking the door and waving to Zhao Hui, he pedaled the tricycle and continued to carry water by the Yellow River.

They didn't realize at all that Zhao Hui didn't actually go back to the village, but followed his tricycle to the Yellow River.

An hour later, Zhao Hui arrived at yesterday's place with the small bundle of sweet potato seedlings on his back, and immediately began to get busy. This time, he followed what Fang Youshun said, and he planted more carefully and attentively than yesterday. It was too much, but he still planted it for nearly half a day in a daze, until it was dark when all the plants were planted and watered, and he was too tired to lie on the ground and couldn't move.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the moon is bright and the stars are few, there are crickets chirping not far away, and mosquitoes humming incessantly in my ears.

Zhao Hui lay on his back next to the sweet potato seedlings he planted, looking at the clear night sky, his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful, and he couldn't think of going home at all.

That home is not as important to him now as the sweet potato seedlings around him at the moment.

At least as long as he can take good care of these sweet potato seedlings, the sweet potato seedlings can produce sweet potatoes for him to eat.

As for the few people in the family, no matter how good he was to them, no matter how much he brought back to them, they should watch him starve, and still watch him starve to death without giving them a bite.

When it was just dawn, Zhao Hui opened his eyes and felt the itching on his face and body. He knew it was a mosquito bite, but he didn't care at all. He looked at the sweet potato seedlings around him and picked up the broken pot I got up and went down to the river to continue watering.

He kept in mind what Fang Youshun said, that the seedlings that had just been planted for the first three days must not be short of water, otherwise it would not be easy to survive.

In this way, as if he was tireless, he went back and forth between the river and the wasteland again and again. When the sun first rose, he had already watered his little sweet potato seedlings, and when he was sitting on the river bank While resting while wiping the sweat from his forehead, he saw a man from a distance in the east pedaling a three-wheeled rickety to fetch water from the river.

In his limited life, he had only seen Fang Youshun riding that kind of car yesterday, and he squinted his eyes to look carefully. Zhao Hui felt that he must have recognized the right person, so he strode over immediately, and when he got there, he saw that Fang Youshun was really Fang Youshun. , directly picked up the water tool on the car without saying a word, and started to help him fetch water.

Fang Youshun didn't know where he came from, he was taken aback for a moment, and let him go.

After the water was finished, Fang Youshun turned around and asked him, "Have you eaten this morning?"

Zhao Hui was a little embarrassed by his question, but he shook his head honestly.

"Then you just wait here today to fetch water for me, fetch water for me for a day, and I'll take care of your meals for a day, okay?" Fang Youshun asked him with a smile while standing beside the tricycle.

"Okay, I'll definitely wait here." Almost immediately, Zhao Hui agreed, blurting out the words so quickly that Fang Youshun might regret it.

"Okay, then find a cool place to wait, I have to run several times in the morning." After finishing speaking, Fang Youshun got on the tricycle and walked forward. The path in the field, the tricycle walked crookedly. Not fast, but it will go away in a while.

Zhao Hui just waited quietly by the river. Instead of finding a cool place as Fang Youshun said, he just waited honestly at the place where Fang Youshun left. After a long time, he finally got his wish and waited until he came back with the corn bread Fang Youshun.

Zhao Hui accepted the cornbread he handed over with some embarrassment, and started to fetch water again. At the end of the day, he felt more satisfied than ever before.

Zhao Hui likes this method of exchanging physical strength for food, but in fact he also knows that people don't really need his help, they just pity him and find excuses for him to stutter.

However, the field is really dry now, even on the banks of the Yellow River, it is not easy to find wild vegetables, and he can't find a few wild vegetables in a day, and he can only be cheeky and use this method in exchange for some food of.

Since that day, the old and the young seemed to have a tacit understanding. When Fang Youshun came to the Yellow River to bring water early in the morning, he always brought wotou directly, and sometimes some pickles. Zhao Hui would do it early every morning. Waiting quietly by the Yellow River, waiting to fetch water for Fang Youshun from the river, and earn some food along the way.

In this way, these two people who obviously didn't match each other gradually became acquainted with each other.

Gradually, Fang Youshun knew why he was by the Yellow River early in the morning, and followed him to see the sweet potato seedlings he planted. He also knew that he had a pair of unreliable parents, and he felt sorry for this child who was not treated well by his parents , a little more sympathy.

And Zhao Hui also knew that the little girl who pulled him back from his death that day was called Shen Yuxiu, and that Shen Yulin was brother and sister, both children of Fang Youshun's son-in-law's family. He also knew that this was a very harmonious family. .

However, it may be that the little girl gave him the food he needed most when he needed it most. Even though the little girl hadn't said a few words to him since that day, every time he went to Fang's house, his His eyes unconsciously wanted to look for that little girl. Even if he had been with Fang Youshun for a long time, he couldn't surpass it, and wanted to get close.

As summer enters, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but there is no sign of rain in the sky, which scares people into fear.

Fortunately, God did not cut off their way of life. From the beginning of July, this piece of land will occasionally welcome a sporadic light rain. Although these light rains are at best wet the ground, it can be regarded as giving the crops a chance to grow. Opportunity.

As the weeds and wild vegetables in the field began to emerge, people finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt more hopeful.

And with the sporadic light rains, the fields were no longer so dry, Fang Youshun no longer came to the Yellow River to bring water every day, and Zhao Hui got up early every morning to pick the freshest wild vegetables, After washing in the river, send it to Fang's house early.

Although he knew that this little thing was definitely not as good as the cornbread they gave him, but doing so made him feel more at ease.

Zhao Hui has been delivering wild vegetables for a long time, and the number of times he meets Shen Yuxiu has increased, and Shen Yuxiu has gradually become accustomed to this person who often appears at the door of the house, just like today, she opened the door to see Zhao Hui He came over with a pot of wild vegetables and immediately smiled.

"You are here, come in quickly, we will have dinner soon." Shen Yuxiu let him in as usual, after all, this man sometimes delivered wild vegetables just in time for breakfast, and grandpa would always leave him at home for dinner.

Zhao Hui looked at her bright smiling face, scratched his head in embarrassment, and followed her in with a vegetable bowl.

The longer he gets along, the more he likes this family, and the less he wants to go back to his own home.
