Chapter 231: A Little Thing (Fifteen)
Seeing this dish of sweet potato stalk vegetables, Feng Zhe's face turned white, and he had a gagging reaction when he landed, but he forcibly suppressed and sat down, because of the heavy wind and rain, the hair of the two of them was blown messy just now, and this will not be straightened out much, Qiu Zhangqing had something on his mind, and he didn't notice Feng Zhe's abnormality at this time, and there was not much left of eating a small dish, only to see that Feng Zhe didn't move his chopsticks at all, so he asked: "Why don't you eat?" β
At this time, several lightning and thunder thunders in succession shook people's eardrums, and the shouts of drinking and punching came from the left and right without being affected by the weather factors at all, and the shouts came one after another, Qiu Zhangqing looked around for a while, nodded and said: "This is life."

Qiu Zhangqing is qualified to say this kind of thing, if this sentence comes out of someone else's mouth, it will attract criticism and make people feel hypocritical. Feng Zhe was speechless, so he kept silent, and listened to Qiu Zhangqing say: "When I was a child, the elders of the family planted this in the vegetable furrow in the yard, and when it came to this season, it also made people try it, and I didn't know it for so many years, but I ate it today, it doesn't seem to be the taste of the past, and I can't find the feeling of the past, have you eaten this?" β
This is the second time Qiu Zhangqing has asked Feng Zhe a question, and before the grilled fish came, Feng Zhe replied: "Yes, I have eaten it." β
Qiu Zhangqing saw that Feng Zhe had been staring at the remaining two or three vegetable stalks in the small plate, and said, "Yo, I almost swept it up without paying attention, and I will give you another plate?" β
Qiu Zhangqing said with a smile on his face, his expression was like that of every woman of school age eating in this food stall, Feng Zhe did not fight psychologically and overcome the stubborn feeling that had been with him for more than ten years, so he replied: "No, I can't eat." β
Qiu Zhangqing noticed Feng Zhe's stunned eyes and asked, "Xiao Feng, what's the problem?" β
Qiu Zhangqing's tone was a bit of a secretary, and Feng Zhe finally shifted his gaze from the dish to Qiu Zhangqing's face, and said, "Sister Qiu, I can't eat this thing...... I used to eat the leaves, stems, stems, and fruits of sweet potatoes as the main food in every way you can imagine for four years and two months, three to four meals a day, and I was almost inseparable from it...... At that time, when my adoptive parents had their own biological daughter, I was admitted to the junior high school in our county, and every Sunday afternoon, I carried a week's worth of dry food, that is, all kinds of sweet potato food, from my home to the county school by climbing more than 20 miles of mountain roads, and then returning home on Saturday afternoon, and the cycle repeated. β
"I don't know if Sister Qiu has seen the dry food on the back, the cloth is sewn, it is rectangular, and it is placed on the shoulder, so that a section is formed in front of the body and a section in the back, which is sewn with cloth pockets of different sizes before and after, basically symmetrical, gravity balance, you can put a lot of things, at the beginning, I still have wheat flour steamed buns or other food in my blanket, we were short of food there, and then my sister grew up, these items were completely out of my relationship, Sweet potato noodles sweet potato steamed buns sweet potatoes dried sweet potato stalks sweet potato leaves steamed sweet potatoes roasted sweet potatoes filled my blanket, summer is fine, because there are other fruits to fill hunger, winter months are the most difficult, and if you want to preserve these sweet potato stalks you need to use salt, the salt at that time was the kind of coarse salt, not iodized salt, the particles are a little large, the salt will be broken if the salt is less, the salt is too much, my adoptive parents will scold me for being wasteful and not knowing frugality, and the sweet potato itself is sweet, Therefore, in winter, I often eat sweet dried sweet potatoes with salty sweet potato stalks, which are sweet and salty. β
"At the beginning, the sweet potato stalk was a small pot of ceramics, because of the mountain road, this small can would be broken if it was collided, and after it was broken, the sweet potato stalk and salt water inside would flow out, so in the winter of the first year of junior high school, I often went to school before my classmates saw my people and smelled the sweet potato stalk smell on my body, everyone called me sweet potato can, and then there were plastic beverage bottles, and the beverage bottles replaced the ceramic crockpots would not break, and I was very experienced in transporting these sweet potato products. The only thing that can't be solved is that sweet potatoes are easy to bloate when they eat too much, and if they are bloated, they will fart, I was very thin at that time, my body may be like a telephone pole, and I have anemia, but my classmates like to call me sweet potato pole, so I have two nicknames, and because of a lot of farts, everyone calls me fart essence, and they also like to connect my surname and nickname together, so, I am also called Feng Fart Essence, so I have three nicknames, this Feng Fart title has been with me for the longest time, I deserve it, and I don't want to fart, But eating less makes you hungry, this is the law of nature. β
Feng Zhe once told Qiu Zhangqing that his adoptive parents didn't want to see him, but Qiu Zhangqing didn't expect Feng Zhe to suffer so much: "How can your adoptive parents be like this? How can there always be a reason for people to eat sweet potatoes? And you're still growing! β
"At least I'm alive, if they hadn't adopted me, my biological parents might have abandoned me in the wilderness, and I might have been taken by wild wolves as a wolf childβliving is more important than anything else, they at least raised me, much better than my biological parents, and later, if my adoptive parents hadn't been concerned about fame, I would have been homeless a long time ago, and if I hadn't studied well enough to earn them the so-called honor and face, the chances of me dropping out of school and going home to herd sheep and pigs are 1,000 percent...... I have several adoptive parents and brothers, and there are more than 20 sons and daughters of those uncles and uncles, and my adoptive parents scolded me when they were angry with me and told me to go back to my biological parents, and these cousins of mine remembered that they made fun of me if they had nothing to do, and it spread that the children in the village scolded me for being picked up, superfluous, and laipi, and I was angry at that time and made a big fuss with them, but there was no good end, and I was defeated by four hands, and I later inquired about the address of my biological parents, and ran there with joy for a day and a nightThe enthusiasm turned into coldness, the family ignored me coldly, they didn't know me as a stranger, the brothers hated me, as if I went back to grab food with them, I was discouraged like a street child, no, I was a street child, I returned to my adoptive parents without skin and face, they thought I would never return to this home, but I went back again, they didn't talk to me for a month and a half, and since then others have scolded me again, insulted me again, and I don't refute it. β
"Since it's useless to say it, just don't say it, and leave some energy to do something else. When you are not strong enough, words and justifications are pale and weak, because no one will listen at all, it will only bring more embarrassment to yourself, silence is my forte, too much will be lost, I am used to being submissive, the night gives me dark eyes to find the light, silence gives me more time to observe the world. Because I really have nowhere to go, I can only accept my fate. β
"This situation didn't end until the second half of my freshman year of high school, and the reason why it ended was that my sister was lost, and my adoptive parents went to look for it, and they both had car accidents, and since then I have been the head of the family, no one cares, so my life can get better," Feng Zhe's tone was a little low when he said this: "But I'd rather my life didn't get better......"
Because of the good business, the grilled fish that Qiu Zhangqing called finally came up after so long, but because of Feng Zhe's words, Qiu Zhangqing had no appetite, and then there was another thunderclap, Qiu Zhangqing seemed to see some kind of crystal water stains in Feng Zhe's eyes, she picked up a tissue and handed it to Feng Zhe, frowned and looked at Feng Zhe and asked, "What about later?" β
Feng Zhe took the tissue, lowered his head and said: "The car that caused the accident was not found, my adoptive parents were buried by my uncle, there will be one tractor at home, I don't know how many tractors it is, the tractor was sold to cover the funeral expenses, it is okay to help, but the brothers must also settle the accounts, the money can not be ambiguous, about the money, I know that some people in the village owe money to my family, and I later found the account book of the debt recorded by my father at home, but people said that the money had been repaid a long time ago but my parents forgot to write off the account, and no one made the decision for me." Later, we opened the road, fortunately my house was on the side of the road, and someone wanted to do business, so I rented out the house, which is the source of my living expenses, but later, even the house was a little precarious. β
"There are other things to eat, but only sweet potatoes are the least valuable, so I have no choice but to choose them to satisfy my hunger. In the past, I helped harvest the sweet potato stalks and leaves of many people in our village, and not all of the harvested ones could be used, and there were wilted and shriveled ones, but I couldn't pull the sweet potato seedlings before the sweet potatoes were ripe, which would affect the growth of sweet potatoes, because there were too many sweet potato stalks, and they couldn't use so much to eat and feed pigs and poultry by themselves, because I collected for them and helped them, they gave me the excess, and I used them as winter rations, but since my adoptive parents had an accident, I didn't go, and I didn't have to go. People fed those things to pigs and poultry, but the poultry ate too much and it was not delicious, and they threw it everywhere, and then everyone remembered me, saying that the sweet potato stalk and the old lady died, and the sweet potato stalk and sweet potato leaves were bad. β
This sentence seems to be a little funny, but how awkward it sounds, Qiu Zhangqing has a chill in her heart, she never thought that Feng Zhe's life would be so difficult, she was surprised that Feng Zhe still had such an experience, there are still people in this world who have been eating sweet potato stalks and sweet potato products for several years, which is simply unimaginable for herself and some people!
After being silent for a while, Qiu Zhangqing said a reassuring word: "If you suffer hard, you will become a master, and you will be admitted to university in the end, which can be regarded as fighting for your adoptive parents." β
Because there are a lot of people around him, Feng Zhe didn't call Secretary Qiu Zhangqing but called her Sister Qiu at this time, Feng Zhe listened to Qiu Zhangqing's words and shook his head and said: "Sister Qiu, in fact, there must be in our situation like me, the life in the village where my biological parents are located is not as good as the place where my adoptive parents are, and the reason why I studied hard at first was that I could stay in school and not go home after studying, so as not to let my family scold me for being redundant, so I could be lazy and do less farm work, Because since my sister was born, I did feel like a long-term worker in the old society at home, and the reason why I studied hard after my adoptive parents' accident was because I wanted to leave that place in my hometown, away from that environment, it was as simple as that, and it wasn't out of any great ideal. As for college life, I don't want to talk about it, and later, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know what it would have been like. β
Qiu Zhangqing looked at Feng Zhe seriously, she saw the honesty and gratitude to herself from the eyes of the young man in front of her, and she thought in her heart that his consistent character was forbearance and generosity, if it weren't for today's sweet potato stalk, he probably wouldn't have confided so much about the past to himself, so how many things did he hide in his body that he didn't know? That year he was in Meishannan (to be continued. )
