Li Honghua held a bag of cornflowers, walked to Fang Yuan, and held it with both hands: "Fang Zhiqing, pop corn, it's for you!"

Later, an old man who popped corn flowers came over, put the small coal stove at the door of Liu Erqin's house, pulled the bellows, and on it was a round sealed iron pot, which could be slowly shaken with a handle, so that the corn kernels inside were heated evenly, and there was a simple meter on the stove. The smell of popcorn attracted a group of children in the village, and several women lined up with corn in a dustpan.

The black pig at home was cured, Liu Erqin was happy, heard a bang outside, came out and saw that it was popcorn, took out most of the dustpan corn, and gave the old man two dimes to burst a pot of corn.

As soon as the corn flowers came out of the pot, Li Honghua came back from school, she secretly wrapped a bag of corn flowers with a handkerchief, and slipped out while Liu Erqin was not paying attention. In this era, there was a shortage of products, and popcorn could not be eaten often, which was also good in the eyes of people at that time.

Fang Yuan glanced at the handkerchief bag handed to him, and shook his head at Li Honghua with a smile: "You can eat it, I don't like to eat this." ”

Honghua took out a few grains from the handkerchief and stuffed them into his hand: "You taste it, it's fragrant!"

Fang Yuan took two grains and nodded: "Thank you, I have something to go back to the house." ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly went back to the house to write a reply letter to his parents, he rushed to reunite with them during the Chinese New Year, and his parents must be happy to know about it. The money sent by his mother should be for his travel expenses.

Li Honghua took out a page of paper from her pocket and wrapped it around Fang Yuan: "Fang Zhiqing, I don't know how to solve two math problems, I want you to tell me about it." ”

Fang Yuan: "Junior high school mathematics, I almost forgot it, I may not be able to help you, why don't you ask your teacher?"

"Fang Zhiqing is not allowed to be so partial, Liu Mingli, Liu Mingfang doesn't often come to you for advice!" Li Honghua pursed her mouth.

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Then you enter the house, I'll take a look." ”

Li Honghua jumped high with joy in her heart, and hurriedly followed Fang Yuan into the house.

Li Honghua is good at studying, where is it really asking for any math problems, she went into the house and looked around, and saw two clothes on the stool, she copied them and put them in the basin, and she had to help Fang Yuan wash his clothes. Fang Yuan exclaimed, "This is what I washed and just put in!"

Li Honghua's face turned red: "I'm sorry, I just want to help you wash your clothes." ”

Fang Yuan understood the purpose of Li Honghua's visit, he returned the page to Li Honghua: "Li Honghua, these two questions are really difficult, and I won't either." You are still young, you should focus on studying. I say that, you know?"

Fang Yuan wanted to persuade her to retract her thoughts about herself.

Li Honghua nodded: "I understand, Fang Zhiqing, I understand everything you say, I am, I just like to come to Zhiqingdian, I like ...... I ask you for advice. ”

"I appreciate your kindness, but after all, you're a girl, so it's not convenient for you to come to me often, right?"

"Aren't the young intellectuals who have gone to the countryside to mingle with the poor and middle peasants and learn from the poor and middle peasants?

"Not bad. But you're still a student. After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he sat down, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and buried himself in writing a letter. This is actually an eviction order.

Li Honghua said Then I'm leaving, go out, just out of the door, I saw Liu Mingfang coming this way, her body was crooked, and she fell to the ground.

"Ouch!

Fang Yuan heard the sound and hurriedly ran out to help Li Honghua, Li Honghua took advantage of the situation to hug Fang Yuan's arm, fell into Fang Yuan's arms, threw herself into her arms, and hugged Fang Yuan's chest, looking shy.

When the two were hugging each other, Liu Mingfang came in with a bamboo basket containing vegetable cakes and rabbit offal soup.

Li Honghua faced the door, raised her eyes to see Liu Mingfang, and hugged Fang Yuan tightly, her face against the other party's chest, looking like a little bird.

Mingfang was also surprised to see this scene, but she was not too embarrassed, after all, in the 21st century, when the previous life was open, young people could be seen hugging and hugging everywhere in public places such as parks. She coughed deliberately, Fang Yuan turned around when she heard the sound, and when she saw Ming Fang, she subconsciously quickly let go of Li Honghua with an embarrassed expression.

"Well, Fang Zhiqing, that ...... My mother asked me to bring you something to eat. Ming Fang said, handing the thing to Fang Yuan's hand.

Fang Yuan took it and thanked him, and asked Ming Fang to enter the house, Ming Fang shook his head and said no, wait for me to eat at home, and the girl left.

Li Honghua looked at Fang Yuan carrying the bamboo basket of Ming Fang's house, looking at the warm gaze of Ming Fang's back, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

......

Mingfang brought Mrs. Zhang over, Zhang Meiyu and her brother Mingli were very happy, Mingli came back from outside, and was very happy to see grandma coming, sensibly poured hot water for grandma, and took a small spoon to feed grandma a little bit.

Zhang Meiyu was busy cooking, Ming Fang gave her a hand, grandma came, Ming Fang proposed a vegetable cake mixed with half of the white flour and a two-in-one vegetable cake mixed with white flour, and Zhang Meiyu agreed. She took the shepherd's cabbage and a bowl of rabbit offal from the matching room, and the rabbit offal was frozen in the matching room, which was not easy to break, and it was not troublesome to cut with a knife.

Mingfang blanched the shepherd's cabbage, put minced garlic, soy sauce vinegar, pepper oil cold dressing, and after the rabbit offal soup was boiled, he sprinkled a handful of shepherd's cabbage leaves, which looked good in color and flavor.

It was Mingli who brought food to Fang Yuan, he studied with Fang Yuan every day in the past few days, and his feelings came, Mingfang volunteered to send it, she originally hoped to meet Li Honghua, making Li Honghua jealous and uncomfortable, but she didn't want to see the scene of the two hugging.

Vegetable cakes, shepherd's cabbage, small pickles, and rabbit offal soup were served on the table, Zhang Meiyu added a pillow to the back of the old lady's waist, telling her to sit up as straight as possible, Mingli cut the rabbit offal into minced pieces little by little, Zhang Meiyu fed her with a spoonful, Mrs. Zhang's mouth was crooked, and half a mouthful of feed flowed out. Zhang Meiyu looked at it and sighed distressedly from time to time.

Mingfang hurriedly put down the rice bowl when she was full, took the bowl in her mother's hand and fed it to her grandmother, and replaced Zhang Meiyu to eat.

Mrs. Zhang took a few more bites, raised her left hand and swayed, meaning that she didn't want to eat.

Mingfang didn't force it, put down the bowl, and took a towel to wipe Mrs. Zhang's mouth clean.

Everything was cleaned up, and Mingfang had to go to Daling's house to give Spring Breeze a needle. She took out a handful of tickets from her pocket and handed them to Zhang Meiyu.

Zhang Meiyu was stunned when she saw so much money: "Fang, you ...... Where do you have so much money?"

Mingli and Mrs. Zhang stared at Mingfang with straight eyes.

Mingfang smiled: "Mother, I met the director of the grain station in the town, and I earned some wheat, and this time I earned more than 400 yuan, and 30 yuan was taken from home in the morning, and it should be more than 470 yuan in total." I gave my uncle ten yuan, and I bought two catties of pork, and I bought cabbage and spinach seeds, and I still have about 465 yuan left. You can keep 400 yuan, and I will take the change to buy medicine for my grandmother, which is not enough to care about my mother. ”

Zhang Meiyu's hand trembled with four hundred yuan, she never dreamed that her family would have so much money at once.

"Fang, make so much money at once, let people know that you can pay it back?"

Zhang Meiyu said and hurriedly took out the key and ran to the wooden box on the kang. Seeing her cautious and scared look, Ming Fang hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, didn't you listen to the loudspeaker broadcast of the brigade, now that the national policy has changed, the development of the private economy is allowed." It's just that people haven't paid attention to it. ”

"But why does the director of the grain station take care of you and give you affordable grain?" Zhang Meiyu was also worried that her daughter would suffer a loss outside.

Mingfang told the matter of rescuing the principal at the school gate that day, so that Mingli's participation in the final exam of high school was also solved, and Zhang Meiyu's mother and son also understood in their hearts.

Zhang Meiyuxin said that since her daughter fell into the river and was flooded, her temperament has really changed greatly, she has become creative and bold, and she is small in the family, but now she has become the support of the family.

"Mother, I have to give my grandmother a needle at night, these days, you and my brother sleep in the same room, and I sleep in the same room with my grandmother. ”

Zhang Meiyu didn't understand: "We can sleep on this big kang, and I can still take care of your grandmother when she gets up at night." ”

Mingfang shook her head coquettishly: "With me at night, there are many people on the kang, I can't sleep, mother, you will be in the same room with my brother?"

Zhang Meiyu glanced at her daughter with disgust and nodded: "Okay, my family Fang'er is happy." ”

Mrs. Zhang took a small cart and brought a quilt, Zhang Meiyu was worried that only one quilt would not be enough, so she took out a man's old cotton jacket from the cabinet and sealed it for her mother at night.

Zhang Meiyu accompanied Mrs. Zhang, and Mingfang told Mingli not to forget to burn firewood in her greenhouse to keep warm, and then she hurriedly went to Daling's house.
