Chapter 53 I like it

But this is the case with crops. If there are no seeds in the ground, there will be no harvest. Even if you regret it, there is no medicine for regret. You can only wait for the next year to plant again.

But even so, it didn't hinder people's enthusiasm for coming to Fang's house in the slightest. The people pouring over kept asking Fang Youshun how to raise seedlings for this thing, and whether they could leave some seedlings for them next year.

Fang Youshun readily agreed to those who directly said they wanted to exchange grain, but to those who just opened their mouths to ask for something, but didn't mention or exchange or buy at all, he just smiled and didn't agree to anything.

There are so many people, and it's not like he has nothing to do, how could it be possible that if they opened their mouths with empty teeth, he would have to work hard and break his legs.Now that every family is short of food, he understands that everyone wants seedlings, but this does not mean that he has to give away the sweet potatoes that he has worked so hard to grow.

What's more, even if he went to the Yellow River to irrigate and take care of it every day for more than half a year, these sweet potato seedlings were bought with money at that time, and it is impossible to give them away for free.

Of course, most people know that they can't take this sweet potato for nothing without saying anything, and they don't force anything, and those who want to take advantage of it are very perfunctory, so they gradually stop coming and don't talk about it.

After a few days of excitement, finally regaining calm, Fang Youshun and his wife heaved a long sigh of relief.

At such a young age, he has not been seen by so many people as a rarity, and his face has been frozen with laughter for the past two days.

After the excitement, Fang Youshun thought about how to preserve and grow the sweet potatoes. Finally, he decided to wait for the autumn harvest to go to the place where he bought sweet potato seedlings to ask those old farmers. I'm afraid it won't work.

In addition to saving a little for her usual food, Grandma Fang has already cut into slices all other sweet potatoes that are not suitable for planting, and dried them on the mat in the yard.

Sweet potatoes have a lot of water, if they are not dried in the sun, she is afraid that they will rot easily if they are left for a long time.

When Zhao Hui knew that the sweet potatoes were ready to be harvested, he happily dug in the reeds. When he dug out the first sweet potato and ate it, tears welled up in his excited eyes.

He has something to eat, and finally he doesn't have to be hungry.

But when he dug out all the sweet potatoes, he started to worry again.

Where should he store so many sweet potatoes?
Get it home?That is impossible.

He couldn't guarantee that after getting the sweet potato back, he would still see the shadow or how much he could eat.But if he didn't bring it home, there would be a lot of wild things in winter in this barren grassland, and he couldn't guarantee that these things wouldn't be ruined by those wild things, or would be beaten by cats wandering around in the wilderness in winter. The wild people found.

But if you can't get it home, and you can't continue to put it in this reed marsh, where should you put it?

At this moment, Zhao Hui was at a loss like never before.

For the first time, I clearly realized how important it is to have a home or house that can make people feel at ease.

But he just doesn't have any, no family who loves him, and no place where he can rest assured.

Zhao Hui sat next to the collected sweet potatoes for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and came to Fang's house.

In the yard, Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang were turning over the dried sweet potatoes drying on the mat, when they saw Zhao Hui, who had not been seen for several days, come suddenly, and greeted him as usual.

"Come on? How are your sweet potatoes doing? Are they all turned out?"

"It's found." Zhao Hui said and hurried forward to help Fang Youshun dig through the dried sweet potatoes.

In the past six months, Fang Youshun has gotten used to this kid's behavior of doing work as soon as he sees it, and he has long been no stranger to it.

"How is it? Did you collect a lot? It should be enough for you to eat, right?" Fang Youshun was busy with the movements of his hands while chatting with him.

"Well, enough to eat." Zhao nodded back and agreed, because of the thing he wanted to ask, his heart began to beat, but no matter how difficult it was to ask, he still wanted to ask, so he raised his courage , carefully asked Fang Youshun: "Grandpa, can I get those sweet potatoes and wild vegetables from your house first? Those things are yours when they are brought to your house. I didn’t even stutter when I got home.”

Fang Youshun glanced at him in surprise when he heard the words, and generally understood Zhao Hui's difficulties, so he couldn't help teasing him with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I'll take your things and not give you anything to eat?"

Zhao Hui was taken aback by the question, then quickly shook his head.

"Don't be afraid, you are not that kind of person."

How could this old man be that kind of person?As far as he ate at this house this year, I'm afraid there are quite a few, so how could he fall in love with something like this?

Besides, even if the old man really asked for his things, he would not lose money.After all, the old man gave me those sweet potato seedlings, and the old man taught me how to plant them. If the old man really wants all those sweet potatoes and refuses to give them back, he will treat it as working for this person for half a year, and it will be fine if he eats half a year for nothing. , what is there?

Seeing that he shook his head without hesitation, Fang Youshun suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of tenderness in his heart. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his head lovingly, and said, "Okay, since you trust me so much, then get it, I don't want you either." Yes, some of them will be sun-dried for you to make dried sweet potatoes, and some will be reserved for you to raise seedlings for planting next year, and they will be kept for you, so you can get them when you want to eat them.”

"Hey, thank you, grandpa." Zhao Hui smiled in surprise and turned around and ran out of the yard. After a while, he brought in a pot of sweet potatoes, obviously coming prepared.

Fang Youshun looked at the sweet potatoes in his pot, shook his head amusedly, let him pour the pot of sweet potatoes on the ground, and asked, "How much more? Do you want me to help?"

"Yes, yes." Zhao Hui happily nodded his head like a rattle.

In that patch of reeds, besides the dug sweet potatoes, there were also a lot of dried wild vegetables. He wanted to put all of them in Fang's house, so that he would not have to worry about those things being discovered by people or wild animals all the time. spoiled.

Hearing this, Fang Youshun immediately got on a tricycle and went to the reed marsh with him, only then did he realize that this kid can really store things, not to mention the sweet potatoes that weigh four to five hundred catties, and the wild vegetables that are full of a small shack, probably Enough for this kid to eat until next year.

In this way, Fang Youshun took all of Zhao Hui's belongings back to Fang's house, and then helped pick out the sweet potatoes that had been left for planting, and instructed Zhao Hui to cut all the remaining sweet potatoes into slices, so that they could be dried into dried sweet potatoes.

Now that the autumn vacation is not over yet, Shen Yulin is called to the team's field to pick up ears of grain and beans, while Shen Yuxiu is left at home to watch over his younger siblings.

Shen Yujun was a restless person, seeing that the adults were busy, he followed behind a few people to make trouble.Shen Yuxiu, on the other hand, lay bored on the rush mat in the yard. Every time she saw Shen Yusui, who had been a few months old, was about to climb off the rush mat, she would reach out and grab her calf, and drag the doll back, saving her from crawling. Get covered in dirt on the ground.

Zhao Hui was slicing sweet potato slices on the cutting board, and occasionally looked up to see Shen Yuxiu who was at ease over there, with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.

He likes the atmosphere of this home, and also likes the carefree appearance of this little girl, he likes it, likes it so much!
