"Dad, what are you worried about?" Xiao Fei asked his father with a smile-

Xiao Youjin waved his hand in annoyance: "What else can you worry about?" Seeing that it's time to plant wheat, our corn hasn't grown full yet! ”

"Dad, is this worth worrying about? It's just that there is no harvest, and there is nothing to worry about our family now. Xiao Fei looked at his father's sad brows distressedly, it seemed that this incident really made him sad.

The father and his wife went home.

The Xiao family's small building is now unique in the entire Xili Village, and the family has moved into the new building.

"If there is no harvest, hunger will definitely not starve to death, but it is distressing to look at it all the time! Six acres of corn is growing so well, and there is no harvest, I can't accept it! Stinky small, didn't you say that it can be cooked in 80 days? It's almost a month now, why haven't there been any signs of ripeness? Xiao Youjin complained loudly.

The sound at the door had already alarmed the family.

Mother, brother and sister all came out of the house and greeted Xiao Fei happily.

"Dad, don't you make any noise, why don't you drop six acres of corn? Xiao Fei hasn't been home for so long, and as soon as you come back, you'll be arguing, what's the matter? "Mother blames father.

"Yes, Dad, don't make any noise about Xiao Fei, if you want to blame it, you have to blame the black-hearted seed company, when you buy seeds, you said it so well, who would have thought that there would be such a big error in the maturity period!" Xiao Yang also helped.

"Xiao Fei, you haven't eaten yet, have you? If you want to eat, my sister will make it for you. Xiao Yan was still careful and asked.

"Not yet, I want to eat the noodles made by my sister," Xiao Fei said with a smile.

"Then I'll do it for you." Xiao Yan said.

"I'm going to pick some tomatoes." Mom wiped her hands on the apron she was wearing and went to the backyard vegetable patch.

"Dad, brother, let's go to the field and have a look." Xiao Fei said to his father and brother.

"What else to see, no matter how much you look at it, it's not familiar." Xiao Youjin muttered, but still followed Xiao Fei and Xiao Yang to the ground.

to their own fields.

Xiao Fei broke an ear of corn on the cob, uncovered it, and looked at it.

The corn kernels have grown together.

I pinched it with my fingernails, a puddle of milky white slurry. Indeed, the corn is still very tender.

But. Xiao Fei felt that the taste of these corns should be quite good when boiled and eaten.

Xiao Youjin and Xiao Yang stood aside to watch Xiao Fei's movements, and Xiao Youjin couldn't help but sigh again. The autumn wind was cold, and the white hair on his head trembled. made Xiao Fei's heart tremble.

"Dad, what are you sighing for! The corn is now ready to be sold for money. Xiao Fei said.

"What?" Father's eyes widened, "How do you sell for money?" ”

"Sell corn on the cob! We grow waxy corn, which is delicious when cooked. Xiao Fei explained.

Xiao Yang, who was on the side, slapped his head and interjected: "Dad, look at my memory." Xiao Fei told me before that this year's corn is the most suitable for boiling and eating, and the tender corn cob can be picked off and pulled to the city to sell, and one ear can be sold for two cents at the wholesale price! ”

Xiao Youjin didn't believe it: "Tens of thousands of ears of corn on the cob, can they be sold?" Will so many people eat this? ”

Xiao Fei sighed, this Xili village is still a little closed, not many villagers have gone out, and even fewer have seen the world, so their thinking is a little rigid.

"Dad, we have a population of hundreds of thousands in Xiling City. Every year in autumn, the streets are full of small stalls selling boiled corn, and everyone loves to eat this, so you don't have to worry about that. Xiao Fei explained to his father.

"Dad, I think Xiao Fei is right." Xiao Yang echoed.

Xiao Youjin looked at the two of them and sighed: "Okay, then I won't care, you two can do it." ”

After Xiao Youjin finished speaking, he staggered home with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Fei and the two brothers glanced at each other.

"Brother, you can go to Qian Village to find Qian Guang later. Let him help contact a truck, and we will pick all the corn cobs today and use the truck to pull them to Xiling City. Xiao Fei said.

"Okay, no problem." Xiao Yang agreed.

Xiao flew home for dinner. Xiao Yang rode a bicycle to Qian Village.

Not long after Xiao Fei finished eating, he heard the sound of a truck stopping outside.

But it was Qian Guang and Xiao Yang who came with a big truck.

This afternoon, the family went into battle, Xiao Yang called a few more helpers, and it took two hours to pick all the corn cobs on six acres of land.

These corn cobs are piled up on the ground. The flutes were piled up into a hill.

Many people in the village were watching the excitement and talking.

"Haha! I said a long time ago, the corn of the old Xiao family can't grow ripe, and they still haven't listened, what about now? It's still ruined in order to rush to plant wheat, and their family is still busy this season. ”

"Looking at whether it is ripe or not, it should have been ruined a long time ago, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you!"

"Well deserved! It makes people angry to see how their family has been so alive recently! ”

Someone gloated.

"I've heard that they're going to pull these corn cobs out of the city and sell them."

"There are so many corn on the cob, you can't sell them anywhere! It's okay for people in the city to eat fresh, but you can't eat corn on the cob as a meal, right? The idea is ridiculous! ”

"Wait, it is estimated that it will not be sold in the city, and you will have to waste the money for hiring a car!"

Some insiders whispered.

Under the watchful eyes of the villagers, all the corn cobs were loaded onto the big truck, and the five-ton truck was loaded with a sharp load, barely finished.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Xiao Yang and Qian Guang went to the city with the car.

After breakfast, Xiao Youjin drove Xiao Fei back to school.

Xiao Fei didn't listen to his father's words, he came out of the house and went to Lin Chunli's house first.

Lin Chunli is at school and not at home.

Liu Xianmin sat alone on a chair in the courtyard and basked in the sun. Seeing Xiao Fei, Liu Xianmin tried to get up from the chair, but he stumbled under his feet.

Xiao Fei hurriedly supported him.

"Uncle Xianmin, how are you doing lately?" Xiao Fei put Liu Xianmin back on the chair and exchanged a word of nonsense.

After saying that, he regretted it.

Looking at Liu Xianmin's current appearance, thin and skinny, with a bleak face, Xiao Fei knew that his condition was much worse than before.

It's no wonder that the body can be good.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my heart hurts, but it's also an old problem, so it's not too tight." Liu Xianmin said weakly,

Xiao Fei observed Liu Xianmin for a while and frowned, it seems that Liu Xianmin is striding along the Avenue of Death, and in the past few days, he may not be able to fall one day.

He hesitated for a moment, but still said to him: "Uncle Xianmin, I think you should go to the hospital to see a doctor quickly, this can't be delayed." ”

"Xiao Fei, it's not that my uncle doesn't want to be treated, it's that he really doesn't have any money, sometimes I think, if I can die, that's a good thing, right? You don't have to drag down this family anymore. Liu Xianmin said decadently.

His eyes were all ashes.

"Uncle Xianmin, how can you think so, if you are short of money, I can help you take out the money for medical treatment first." Xiao Fei said.

"Thank you, Xiao Fei, but I don't think I need it." Liu Xianmin said with a miserable smile, "I have already seen through death, and death may be a relief for me." ”

In poor rural families, if the family members have a serious illness, they basically will not go to treatment, so they can only wait for death at home, and for no other reason, they cannot afford the huge medical expenses.

Xiao Fei is willing to lend money to Liu Xianmin, Liu Xianmin will not borrow, he will repay the loan, with his current condition, death is imminent, and people will die if the money is spent, and the debt borrowed for treatment will become a heavy burden on the family members who are still alive.

Xiao Fei frowned, it seemed that he still had to discuss it with Lin Chunli.

He said goodbye to Liu Xianmin.

Coming out of his house, he planned to go to the village elementary.

But as soon as he walked out into the street, someone came running over and told him that a cadre had just driven to their house to look for him.

Xiao Fei frowned slightly, who could it be that someone came to look for him? (To be continued.) )
