Chapter 57 The sweet potato field of the old Hu family

The girl of the Hu family looked at the dust on his body, moved her lips and wanted to say something, but finally shook her head, and then looked at the few sweet potatoes that were thrown over in her arms, and smiled shyly. Xi Yunjing is not a fool, he can naturally guess what people want to say. But since they didn't say it, then he didn't understand it, so he occupied that piece of land with peace of mind.

Anyway, this girl's father, Lao Hu, was lazy and didn't plow the ground, or because the land was in the deep mountains and old forests, Lao Hu probably forgot about it a long time ago. If they hadn't found out, the sweet potatoes would have rotted in the ground.

Thinking about it like this, Xi Yunjing felt even more at ease.

Coming back from Lao Hu's house, the Liu family had already called someone to take the guy and prepare to go up the mountain. Xi Yunjing looked back, and hurriedly urged the Yuan family to hurry up the mountain. Liu laughed at him: "Are you afraid that those sweet potatoes will grow legs and feet and run away, or are you afraid that something will happen to Yuanqing?" ”

It's a joke, but someone always takes it seriously.

Xi Yunjing ignored Yuan Chengwen's eyes that wanted to kill, and just urged the Liu family, "Hurry up, that piece of land belongs to the old Hu family in front, let's move faster, don't let Lao Hu know." ”

"What!"

The Yuan family exclaimed in surprise. Xi Yunjing snatched two baskets from the Yuan family and ran forward, urging and said, "Lao Hu forgot about it, but the other girl's daughter carried it for us." After a while, Lao Hu should remember our posture when he sees us. ”

Liu hesitated in place, wanting to persuade, but he was really hungry. Yuan Chengwen lowered his face coldly, "Since it is someone else's thing, then our family can't want it." Whether people forget it or not, if we take something from someone's field, that is, steal! ”

Stealing, but you have to go to the government!

Xi Yunjing looked back, and the Yuan family was really afraid to move by Yuan Chengwen's words.

"Well, then you're all hungry."

He turned around and left, not even bothering to lift his eyelids at the Yuan family. Seeing that he had already turned the trail and was about to enter the mountain, the youngest Yuan Wenyi swallowed, "The roasted sweet potato is really fragrant, mother, will you bake one for me in a while?" ”

Without waiting for Liu to speak, Yuan Wenyi took a cloth bag sewn from old clothes and ran forward. Yuan Hui didn't know if he was worried about his son or if he already had an idea in his heart, so he walked forward without saying a word. The husband and son were gone, and the Liu family naturally didn't hesitate anymore, so they hurried up. Yuan Wei coughed lightly and shouted to Yuan Chengwen in a low voice, "Let's hurry into the mountain while it is dawn, take the things down in a while, you send a bag to Lao Hu's family, and then we will pay back the silver money we owe slowly." ”

When a few people arrived at that place, Song Yuanqing had already picked the sweet potato vines, and put them aside smoothly, which was more neat than the yards of vegetables sold on the street. It's just that the sun is a little sunny, and the sweet potato vines are a little wilted.

But it doesn't matter, this thing can still be dried, just soak it in water when you eat it.

But...... That's all there is in front of you, there are so many people in the family, it's not enough to make two plates......

"And so much more!"

Yuan Wenyi was probably really hungry and scared, and when he saw the large pile of sweet potatoes on the ground after being hungry for so many days, his eyes were about to glow green. The Yuan family then came, although they were not as happy as Wenyi, but they were all happy to close their mouths.

At this moment, who would have thought that this land belonged to Lao Hu's family?

There are only two words in the eyes of the Yuan family, food!

Before he finished going down the mountain, Xi Yunjing pulled Yuan Wenyi and said something, and when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Yuan Wenyi threw the heavy cloth bag in his hand into Xi Yunjing's arms, and ran forward by himself. Liu hurriedly called him, but was stopped by Xi Yunjing.

"Second sister-in-law, don't panic, I'll let him open the door."

The Yuan family seemed to have a tacit understanding, and after going down the mountain, they hurried home with fast steps, and Yuan Chengwen, who was the last to enter the door, locked the door directly. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, his face was a little funny, "That, Dad, didn't you say that you wanted to give a bag of sweet potatoes to the old Hu family in front?" Divide it quickly, and I'll send it to their house now. ”

"Big brother, are you crazy, there are so many people in our family, even if everyone saves some food, how can there be more than a dozen of them for a meal, and then give a bag to Lao Hu's family, how many days can our family eat?"

Liu Shi came out of the house when he heard the movement, and when he saw something on the ground, he leaned over to take a look, and stood with Yuan Wenyi in a rare way.

"The meaning of the text is that this alone is enough for our family to eat. This is our family's thing, people are not related to us, what do you care about so much? ”

Yuan Chengwen's face turned pale, "Mother, you don't know!" That piece of land originally belonged to the old Hu family in front of him. ”

Liu was stunned, "Old Hu's family? ”

Seeing Yuan Chengwen nodding, Liu asked her husband in disbelief. Seeing that Yuan Wei also nodded, and the second family nodded, Liu believed it. It is believed that it is believed, but the Liu family is still the Liu family.

"Did he say it himself? Is it also the place where he personally went up and pointed out? ”

Yuan Chengwen shook his head, and when he was about to speak, he heard Liu say: "Since it's not, then this land is not his family." If he has the ability, he will take out the title deed, and if he can get it, I will believe him, and I will return all the sweet potatoes to him, since he can't take it out, then this is our family. ”

Song Yuanqing: ......

Xi Yunjing: ......

Yuan Family: ......

Most of the things like the title deed are houses, and the fields only need to be prepared in the houses of the government and paid taxes every year. If you want to say who digs a piece of land in the mountains, as long as the place is not big, the government will not care. Although the yield of this sweet potato is very good, it is only such a small area, and it is in the deep mountains and old forests, who will pay taxes every year for such a small piece? The government will not be idle to care who owns this land.

When Liu said this, he was sure that the old Hu family did not have this land deed.

This kind of person, I really don't know if she is like this in essence, or if she was really forced to be like this by life. Or should it be said that this is the style that Liu learned from the Yuan family's business.

Song Yuanqing was too lazy to take care of her, and shouted that Xi Yunjing and Yuan Wenyi would move the sweet potatoes in. Originally, it was the time to finish cooking, and the Liu family never counted on it, and the Liu family had never eaten sweet potato vines, so today was Song Yuanqing's cooking.

Sweet potato porridge, roasted sweet potatoes, and two plates of fresh and tender vegetarian fried sweet potato vines.

When the meal was served, everyone was skeptical about the two plates of vegetarian fried leaves, and only Xi Yunjing tasted the first chopsticks as a guinea pig. After swallowing into his throat, Xi Yunjing's expression suddenly changed, and then he put down his chopsticks and grabbed his collar, as if he was out of breath.

The faces of the other people at the table changed dramatically: this thing is really inedible!

At this moment, Song Yuanqing had already kicked Xi Yunjing and directly kicked a shoe print on his already unclean clothes. Xi Yun straightened his color, picked up the chopsticks again, and ate in a proper manner. But it's still the sweet potato vine.

Knowing that he was joking, the Yuan family breathed a sigh of relief again. Seeing that Xi Yunjing had eaten nearly half of the plate of sweet potato vines in front of him, Yuan Wenyi finally couldn't help but hold a pair of chopsticks......

"Mother! This is delicious! Yuan Wenyi happily gave Liu a chopstick, and after Liu tasted it, he gave her husband a chopstick.

Liu saw that there was not much left, so he also put a large number of chopsticks for his husband and son.

After this meal, the most disdainful sweet potato vine has become a fragrant glutton, a etiquette cultivated by a large family, and at this time, there is no rule of eating and not saying anything in front of the sweet potato vine. Having tasted the sweetness, where can these people still sit still.

"Tomorrow we'll go up the hill to have a look, and if there's anything else, we'll all pull it back."

"I see if you picked too much when you picked Yuanqing, and the old vines that you threw away were also slightly more tender, so you can fry a plate, right? Oops, alas! ”

"Can we eat other rattans, or shall we find other rattans?"

……

Listening to the words of the Yuan family, even Yuan Chengwen, who was a serious young man, also participated in the discussion, and Song Yuanqing didn't know what to say.

She coughed lightly, "That...... Haven't you ever thought about digging your own land and growing your own vegetables? ”

The discussion of the Yuan family came to an abrupt end.

They really haven't thought about it.

Farming? The Yuan family is in business, where will they farm! It was only after they came here that they wielded axes, sickles, and hoes...... They won't!

Song Yuanqing couldn't manage so much, she said to herself: "I have seen the vacant land behind our house, that place is good, you will all bring the guys with you in a while, and follow me to farm!" ”

Seeing the Yuan family looking at each other, Song Yuanqing said again: "Can we have a little bit of interest?" I said I wanted to get a chicken to raise chickens in captivity or something, did you get a pen? This is what I've been saying all my life? Do you have to eat up this mountain with your posture? What about after you eat it all? Are you so hungry? Would you rather be hungry than do your own farming? ”

"It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and we don't expect these two children to do anything, but as elders, we always have to take our children to appreciate the joy of life." The more Song Yuanqing talked, the more he talked, and finally brought the topic back again. "We have to plan for the long term, don't we?"

That's the same thing......

After eating, the Liu family wanted to brush the dishes, but Song Yuanqing directly called her away, saying that there were not enough people, and called the two sons and two grandsons of the Yuan family in a row, so today this bowl is only the Liu family to brush.

Song Yuanqing took this group of people to the back of the house, drew out the approximate area, waved the only hoe in the family, and taught these ancients with an unfamiliar posture.

Before the people were taught, the Liu family came over, "The daughter of the old Hu family came to the door." ”
