The two took the vegetable basket and a small shovel in the kitchen, and Shi Yuan took Chu Jiu and walked to the front yard.

While walking, he introduced: "This is shallots, let's cut some mixed tofu and eat, this is green vegetables, fry two mushrooms later, pull some potatoes, and beans." ”

Chu Jiu saw everything fresh, she grew up in the city since she was a child, she had never seen these things, and she felt fun everywhere she looked.

I looked here and there, and finally I simply squatted down to study, not knowing whether I was looking at the vegetables or the insects on the ground.

Shi Yuan saw that she didn't have the heart to pick vegetables at all, so he simply ignored her and let her play by herself.

When Shi Yuan finished picking the dishes and asked her to go back, she was still a little reluctant.

"Such a big field belongs to your family?"

"Can Grandma do it alone?"

"Will this be a different species? Tired of planting this year, planting that next year? ”

"Grandma doesn't have to go to the street to buy groceries, these are enough to eat."

...

Shi Yuan listened to her chattering and asking non-stop, and waited until she finished asking before speaking: "You ask so much, which one shall I answer?" ”

"What's in the backyard? I'd like to check it out too. Chu Jiu's eyes were full of stars, and he looked at Shi Yuan pitifully.

"Okay, let's send the food to grandma and take you to see it, otherwise you won't be able to eat at noon." Shi Yuan rubbed her little head.

Chu Jiu was stunned: "Yes, should we help grandma, let her be scared alone, okay?" ”

Shi Yuan sneered: "What will you do?" ”

Chu Jiu's face flushed, Shi Yuan seemed to know that he was not good at cooking, and pouted unconvinced: "I can also help wash the vegetables." ”

"It's okay, just go to the backyard and take a look, grandma's cooking is delicious, and grandma's hands and feet are fast, if you're embarrassed, let's take a look and go back to help wash the vegetables, okay?" Shi Yuan told her a compromise method.

Chu Jiu nodded, this is fine.

Passing through the hall and going out through the back door, it is the backyard where the animals are raised, not big, but the taste is a little heavy, after all, there are animals.

Chu Jiu first leaned over from the shed in front of him to see, and it was the chicken mentioned by Shi Yuan: "This is the chicken shed?" What about the other one? ”

Chu Jiu looked at the shed behind him and asked curiously.

"It's also chickens, and chickens are easier to feed." Shi Yuan pulled her away, afraid that the dirt on the shed would rub against him.

A sheep's cry attracted Chu Jiu's attention, Chu Jiu saw that there was an unsealed shed in the far corner, and when he got closer, it was indeed a few sheep.

"Grandma still raises sheep? My favorite thing to eat is mutton. I don't know if it's Chu Jiu's illusion, after she said this, she felt that the sheep in the shed looked up and glared at her.

"The sheep are taken out and sold, and usually grandma can eat some chickens." Shi Yuan paused: "But she is reluctant to eat chickens at home alone, and only when we come back, she is willing to kill one or two." ”

"Grandma is so powerful, she manages such a big yard so well, and she also raises these animals." Chu Jiuyi turned his head and found that there was another room next to him.

Looking through the window, there were several pigs: "This is also raised to sell?" ”

Shi Yuan nodded.

"Grandma works so hard for a year, how much can she sell?" Chu Jiu looked at these pigs, chickens, and sheep, and always felt that the workload was really large, and grandma was really hardworking, unlike herself, she couldn't even fry a dish.

"Grandma raised these not all for money, earlier for money, but then the family had money, and they didn't expect her to sell this, after grandpa died, her parents wanted to take her to the city, let her stop raising these, but she didn't agree. Now that I think about it, my grandmother raised these, probably to relieve loneliness. Shi Yuan looked at these animals in the backyard and was also a little touched.

"Yes, some things are always good to do, grandma looks very strong, presumably it is a relationship between daily work." Chu Jiu truly admired people who could do these things well.

"Okay, let's go back and help grandma cook." After reading the backyard, Shi Yuan pulled Chu Jiu back to the house.

Chu Jiu looked at the flowers and trees on both sides of the yard as he walked: "Are these also planted by grandma?" ”

Shi Yuan followed her gaze and said with a smile: "Some are and some are not, such as this osmanthus tree, I heard that grandpa and grandma planted it together when they got married, and this flower bed was built by grandpa himself." Shi Yuan remembered his grandfather's appearance again, he could play chess so well, and his grandfather taught him by hand.

"I see that you do things very decently, when did you learn?" Chu Jiu remembered that when he was playing before, Shi Yuan was so skilled at picking vegetables.

"I have been raised by my grandparents since I was a child, so I am naturally very proficient in these things, and when my grandparents are busy in the farmland, I have to help the family cook and send it to the ridges." Shi Yuan recalled the time when he was a child, and he only felt bitter at the time, but now he feels simple happiness when he thinks about it.

Before Chu Jiu walked into the kitchen, he glanced at the flower beds in the yard again, the trees were lush and the flowers were bright, presumably grandma must have missed grandpa very much, and she had made these flowers and plants so good by herself.

Chu Jiu smiled, and then entered the kitchen.

When grandma saw it, she hurriedly asked the two of them to go out: "You go play, I'll call you when the meal is ready." ”

"Grandma, just let her help, otherwise she won't be able to play in peace." Shi Yuan knew that Chu Jiu must not be at ease to play by himself, leaving his grandmother busy alone.

Grandma's eyes when she looked at Chu Jiu were even more loving: "Silly girl, grandma is used to doing this, it's rare for you to come here, and you can still ask you to work?" Go and go, the kitchen is dirty, it's not as good as any range hood or anything like that in the city, the smoke here is big, and it will choke you for a while. ”

"That's... Let's go out? Shi Yuan looked at Chu Jiu.

Chu Jiu had no choice but to nod, but the help was not successful, and Shi Yuan took her around the house again.

Grandma's house looks like an old style, although it is also made of cement, but the roof is still covered with tiles.

In the middle is the hall that runs through the front and back, and on the east side is the master bedroom, where the grandmother lives, a carved old bed, and a table of eight immortals, the TV is relatively new, and there is also air conditioning in the house.

The west side was originally a large room, but now it is divided into two bedrooms by a cabinet, and the front and back rooms have doors.

"We'll sleep here today, do you want to sleep in the front or in the back?" Shi Yuan looked at Chu Jiu with a grin.

Chu Jiu was a little embarrassed, he only cared about coming out to play, but he forgot about this stubble, although it was said that there were two rooms now, but there was a cabinet in the middle, and he was still shy in his heart.
