Grandma pulled Fang Monan back home, and the aunt had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and watched Fang Monan playfully and say that our 'college students' had gone home. Come on, hard work, hurry up and eat."

Dinner is placed in the corridor, there is no fan, it is better to eat outside, Fang Mo Nan misses the air conditioner, and he is not afraid of the heat, at this time, there is no hot noon. There is no television, so I can only listen to the small radio broadcast that the county has installed for every household, and listen to the radio of the central radio station, so that I can understand some things that are happening outside, at least not in a blind eye.

The dinner was not as sumptuous as noon, and the yam eggs were boiled in the millet porridge, and the yam eggs were not big, only the size of Fang Monan's thumb. There is a white flour steamed bun and two cornmeal nests in the small frame of rattan weaving, and there is not a drop left in the noon dish, so I have to put a plate of pickled cucumbers, sprinkled with minced garlic and ginger.

The three of them sat down, and saw that the two of them picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, Fang Monan held the bowl and ate slowly, the porridge was not hot, it was just right to drink, it should have been cold for a while, there was the sweet taste of millet, and the yam eggs were very sweet and sweet, unlike the hard and crisp in later generations.

The aunt was careless when she ate, and she smiled just now, and she could even be said to be a little frustrated, muttering in her mouth, and finally complaining angrily about things at work.

From her verbal complaints, Fang Monan heard that there was a chance to turn positive. Qualifications, education, and obviously both of them are the same, but it's a pity that the backers are not as strong as others, let alone the relationship. It's a pity that the person is up, she is down, it's normal.

"What else, if your father is still alive, he might be able to help. Now, alas" Grandma sighed helplessly, sighing, the situation is stronger than people, and you can only accept reality. "Be honest and practical, we should be content with it compared to those who don't have a job." Grandma comforted that she was so pale and powerless, and there was no other way.

"By? I'm not reconciled. But it's time to do it," the aunt muttered to herself.

"It's very simple, it's better to have a degree than others, let's study hard" A sweet voice sounded, and Fang Monan put down the bowl.

"Study, how old I am and still study, little children understand," the aunt retorted.

"Yes, let's Nannan said no, the radio didn't say that the college entrance examination had been resumed two years earlier, and it wasn't like before that people were not allowed to study. Besides, now our family is not as difficult as when your father just died, I can't afford to support you to study, you are still graduating from high school, and it is always good to study more, I think I also went to a literacy class back then, if it wasn't for the fact that there were many children and no one to take care of me, I wouldn't have stopped halfway. Grandma put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, feeling a little regretful in her heart. You see, those intellectuals who were originally sent to the countryside have not all returned to the big cities now, so it can be seen that it is better to study, otherwise no matter how good the opportunity is, it will slip away. If you think about it, it's not the reason. It's rare for my little daughter to pick up a book again, grandma said harder.

Fang Monan is also very strange, the illiterate grandmother married the learned grandfather, I remember that the grandfather's ancestor was a landlord, and then the family was defeated, and no one cared about it during the exercise, but it couldn't stop the people who had a heart, and the composition of the grandmother was a poor middle peasant with a good roots, and they should have been combined because of the times.

"Auntie, aren't you afraid" Please don't as well be excited, Fang Monan pouted and looked up and down.

"Afraid, I'm afraid?" The aunt looked at her and asked incomprehensibly.

"Of course I'm afraid, I can't learn, I'm afraid I won't be able to persevere, I'm making excuses for cowardice, and of course, the most important thing is that I'm even more afraid that I can't compare to me" Fang Menan looked down on her, and puffed up his small chest and said.

"Hmph joke, how old are you, don't just learn a few words, you really become a college student, this tail is up to the sky. Your aunt and I are still graduating from junior high school, I'm afraid I can't compare to you, it's a big joke in the world. The aunt was angry, and retorted without words, not wanting to think that the other party was just a child, and she was also as knowledgeable as her.

"Yes, my Xiaoyan is not stupid, and she has done a lot of hard-working work, she has gritted her teeth, can you say that she is cowardly, as long as she persists, who said that if she can't read well, she may be able to be admitted to college" Grandma interjected at the right time, adding another fire.

"Really? My aunt can be admitted to university. When the words came here, Fang Monan also felt that it was almost over, and when he saw that his aunt was excited, he was also moved, "When the time comes, grandma must kill chickens to celebrate, okay." ”

"Ghost girl, just eat." My aunt was so amused that she stood up and walked into the house.

"Dry? I haven't finished my meal yet," Grandma shouted.

"Don't eat it, in order to eat the chicken early to celebrate, we have to work hard now, I'll go find the book in the corner first." My aunt's heart is sour, although the conditions at home are better, but if you want to eat meat, you have to wait until the New Year, and you usually can't even see the meat. She held back her tears, clenched her fists tightly, and worked hard, she must celebrate as soon as possible. She has suffered from a low education.

Fang Monan and Grandma looked at each other and smiled, and their tacit understanding was born.

"By the way, Mom, I forgot to tell you, the tenant of the North House is not renewing the lease, and the rent has been settled. It is estimated that we will move in two or three days. Auntie just crossed the threshold and remembered to turn around.

"Oh, then we'll have to find someone to rent again." Grandma saw that they had finished eating, so she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

At that time, the South House, the North House, and the West House all lived in Grandpa's own family, and later they got ahead, either Gao Sheng moved away, or they followed their children into the big city to enjoy happiness. The house was empty, and because the family would not have it anymore, they decided to sell the house to their grandfather at a discount. It just so happened that my grandfather was still alive at that time, and there were people in the court who were easy to do, so I tightened my belts and bought the whole family of Nanya, Beiya, and Westinghouse, and now I have an income.

After eating, grandma and aunt had something to do, Fang Monan slipped to the garden behind the east house with nothing to do, and she visually saw that there was about a point of land, more than 300 square meters. It is very flat, the soil is loose, there are some weeds on it, it has just emerged, it is estimated that grandma often comes to pull weeds, and it is this period of new emergence to go to the countryside.

There are still five or six pumpkin seedlings planted at the root of the north wall, and the seedlings have climbed along the wall and have already bloomed, not far from fruit. There are also some wood stacked on the south wall, like beams, and red bricks are neatly stacked next to the wood, which is not large.

Fang Monan remembered that two houses were built later, it turned out that it hadn't been built yet, it was not okay, she had to dispel this idea with her grandmother, she also wanted to use this land to plant some vegetables in the space, so that not only could she harvest a lot, but also under the guise of covering, she could eat vegetables in a bright and bright manner, now go to find grandma, Fang Monan returned to the front yard.

"Grandma, are you going to build a house in the back?" Fang Menan ran to the kitchen and asked with her legs in her arms.

"Huh." Grandma said as she didn't forget to add cold water to the pot on the fire.

"Oh, I saw the wood and red bricks on the wall in the backyard, very similar to the wood on the beams of the house, guess." Fang Monan replied wittily, young age is trouble.

"We Nannan are so smart," grandma praised perfunctorily.

"Grandma, it's okay if we don't build a house, and we also grow vegetables like my aunt's backyard." Fang Menan was unimpressed by his grandmother's praise and was in a hurry to say his thoughts.

"It's not good, it's almost ready. Besides, I built a house, rented it out, and collected rent. Grandma put on the lid of the pot, wiped her hands with a towel, and walked into the house.

"Grow vegetables, grow vegetables, so that we can save money on groceries, and if my aunt is admitted to university, she will have living expenses." At this time, Fang Monan only thought about planting the land, and said without any scruples. "The house is very cheap now, isn't it cost-effective" She was blocked by the high threshold, and could only shout at the grandmother in the house.

"Well, that's okay, but learning isn't something that happens for a while." Grandma turned around and stood on the threshold, thinking seriously, it would be a good thing if the youngest daughter could really be angry. But then he said that the place is not big, and how much money can be saved on food. ”

"Grandma asked me to plant, let me try, now that the weather is good, I will definitely have a good harvest. Besides, the rest is a little. Fang Monan stood outside the threshold, patted his chest and said harder.

Grandma shook her head, "Xiao Nannan, do you want to grow vegetables again" looked at her suspiciously.

"I will, I will hoe, sow seeds, water them, fertilize them, and catch insects." Fang Monan folded his hands and said.

Grandma listened to what she said really like a thing, I guess I followed the field to see people order corn seedlings, and told her about it, but I didn't expect to remember it so clearly.

Grandma thinks about it anyway, the house is not ready to be built now, so let her try, seeing that she is so interested, it is estimated that she has been affected after staying in the countryside for a long time. Maybe it was just a whim, not to discourage her enthusiasm, so she nodded and agreed.

Fang Monan happily jumped and ran to the backyard, thinking about planting some.

Grandma saw her rising, it was still early, and she also followed to the back to help. Take the hoe found from home and start hoeing, these little people can't do it, just help her, it's strange to say, after hoeing, the sky is getting darker, she doesn't feel backache, she doesn't feel tired, and her body is obviously much better than before returning to the countryside. Of course she didn't eat space vegetables, but she felt very capable and much stronger than before.

"Okay, buy some vegetable seeds, and you're ready to plant." Grandma still dropped her hoe and patted the dirt on her hands.

"I don't need to buy vegetable seeds, when we came, the stone gave me some vegetable seedlings and seeds." Fang Monan heard her words and hurriedly said, and ran to the corridor under the paper bag to take it out, of course, it was just a pretext, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was getting dark, and took out these common vegetables from the space in a place where no one could see them.

Grandma looked at the vegetable seedlings, there was a long bunch, and it was straight and straight, and it was very well preserved, and there was no wilting. "It was premeditated, let's plant it now"

Fang Monan and her held a small shovel, bean seedlings, cucumber seedlings, and tomato seedlings, which needed to be dug and buried. It is the best kind of spinach, and the seeds and soil are sprinkled on the ground, and it is good to lightly sprinkle a layer of soil. The two of them had to be fast, and the planting was done quickly.

"I can sprinkle it again." Grandma patted the soil on her hands and saw that her granddaughter was also helping, although the speed was slow, she was very serious, so it could be seen that she really wanted to grow vegetables. She saw that it was already completely dark, "Let's go, Nannan, let's do it again"

"Oh, I'll look at it for a while" After Grandma left, Fang Monan saw that there was no one, and sprinkled the ground a little with the spring water of the space before leaving.

After taking a bath, I went to bed, and before going to bed, I still thought that although the land could not be like a space, it would take two or three days from seed to maturity, but planting the ground should be faster than the outside

As usual, I stayed in the space for two days, meditated and practiced, studied medical skills, and got up on time at five o'clock the next morning, of course, grandma got up because of her, and followed suit, and hugged Fang Monan over the threshold, and saw her running to the backyard.

Fang Monan saw that the seedlings were straight and straight, the color was tender green, and they were waving in the wind. She looked around to see if there was anyone, not only sprinkled it with the spring water of the space, but also sprinkled the soil in the space one by one next to the young seedlings. Of course, she also took advantage of the time when no one was around, watering the space and sprinkling some soil in the space, so that their growth would be better.

After Fang Monan finished his work, he saw his grandmother leaving, carrying a bucket, and hurriedly stepped forward, unloaded the bucket and said Grandma, Okay, I planted vegetables, you have already helped me hoe and plant, and the rest of the watering, fertilization, and insect catching should be done by me personally, and I don't need to work hard to help. ”

"Oh yes," Grandma said, "you have to persevere, don't give up halfway." He carefully admonished.

Fang Monan took the bucket left by his grandmother and poured it out while no one was there, and after a while, he was almost on the top before turning back to the front yard. He said to his grandmother, Grandma, I have watered the vegetable seedlings. Then he ran back to the backyard and started running around the vegetable patch, it was impossible to go to the street for morning exercises, not to mention that grandma would not agree, and she didn't want to be seen as a diorama.

Grandma heard Fang Monan's voice in the courtyard, and after she turned around and came out, she disappeared. She ran to the backyard to take a look at the wet land, the green vegetable seedlings were still dripping with water droplets, no, she watched Fang Monan obediently wandering around the vegetable field, and then made breakfast.

After breakfast, my aunt went, and Fang Monan grinded that my grandmother had to go around the county seat and recognize the way, so as not to lose it and find the way home.

Grandma said and said You still want to know the way, I don't dare to let you go on the street, you are too young. She thought about it, after so many days in the countryside, there were no vegetables at home. It's just right to go to the market to buy groceries. At this time, the weather is not hot, and the food is still fresh.

"Okay, go out on the streets now, and use your words to recognize the way." Grandma said with a smile. Lock the door, take the money, and go out into the street.

Grandma pulled Fang Monan and walked south for a few minutes to the crossroads, and walked towards the two sides of the road spontaneously filled with green leafy vegetables that had just been harvested from the ground every morning, selling meat and eggs, but there were not many, only three or two kittens. The price is obviously cheaper than that in the county grocery store, because these are all home-grown and raised, and they are sold for a price to supplement the family.

It is said that the market is spontaneous by the people, and slowly the stalls are formed, and the farmers earn a little bit. The stalls are all clean in front of them, but no one needs to clean them up, because the rotten vegetable farmers have gone home, chop and chop and feed the chickens.

Grandma walked to the meat stall, stepped forward and asked the price, carefully calculated the price, still felt expensive, smiled and shook her head and left.

In the end, I bought a handful of spinach and shallots, "Eat noodle pumpkin flower soup at noon, just to scrape the stomach." ”

The food has no oil and water, and there is no meat, and it is easy to be constipated, while the pumpkin has many flowers, and the most tender ones are picked and the flowers are fluffy. And the most tender part is pinched off and eaten, cleanses the stomach and intestines, and treats constipation. These are all summed up in my grandmother's life, and when Fang Monam was a child, she suffered a lot when she was a child.

Then grandma took Fang Monan to look at the commercial street of the county, the public Hongqi cinema, department stores, large canteens, private four-wheeled carts pushing and welding, and those repairing watches, repairing locks, and selling popsicles were all placed at the door of the cinema. There is also a seller of baked cakes, Fang Monan has stood here for a long time and has not seen a few customers patronizing, and a baked cake is only five cents.

Fang Monan seems to be cheap, but it's expensive here. In the future, there will be no pennies, and it is estimated that no one will pick up a dime on the road.

Fang Monan took his grandmother's hand and looked at it with interest, entered the store to see the price of the goods, and the restaurant looked at the menu price written on the blackboard, which could be regarded as understanding the market situation in advance.
