In the big set, among the dazzling goods, Li Chun easily found what he wanted to buy.

All kinds of vegetable seeds wrapped in old newspapers, and the names of varieties written with a brush on the outside are also mysterious, such as creamy cabbage, fruit cucumber, chaise tomato, purple jade eggplant......

It's very easy to bluff, but Li Chun is not satisfied, and after pulling with the store, he got a few sprouted potatoes.

Artichoke is potato, also called potato, ground bean, yam egg...... It is the main food crop in Northwest China.

The more food is called food, the wider the spread, and the stronger the adaptability.

Sprouted potatoes are not edible, but they can be cut into pieces as seeds, and a bunch of potatoes can be harvested after two or three months.

It can be used as a staple food or as a vegetable, and it is a very convenient source of starch intake compared to rice and wheat.

After buying vegetable seeds, Li Chun stared at the eggs on the stall next to him.

The eggs are not very big, but the grandmother who sells them is very particular about cleaning every egg.

What Li Chun was most disgusted by was that the egg shell was stained with chicken manure or chicken feathers, and he seemed to want to advertise freshness, but he felt that it was particularly dirty.

After all, it's something to be entered.

"Grandma, how did you sell this egg?"

"Five cents."

Seeing that the grandmother in front of her stretched out her hand and compared the numbers tremblingly, Li Chun knew it in her heart.

Without scales, eggs cost five cents, regardless of size.

Frankly speaking, a native egg costs 5 cents, which is not expensive even in the countryside, and the basket of native eggs in front of him is only more than 30.

Eggs are very nutritious food, which is very good for Guangzhi, who is growing his body, and Li Chun originally wanted to buy some milk, but unfortunately there was no one in the market.

However, there is goat's milk, but the ewes that have been milked must be bought back together......

On the way back to the temple, I was carrying a large bag of things in my hand, but I could no longer rely on my legs.

It's really not that Li Chun is weak, he thinks about Guangzhi, spends 10 yuan to hire a motorcycle, sandwiches Guangzhi between him and the driver, and drives in the direction of [Space Temple].

"Senior brother, open your mouth." Hiroshi turned around and stuffed the candy that the nurse had given him into Li Chun's mouth.

"Ah~" Li Chun, who was fed, habitually opened his mouth wide, and then was filled with a strong wind.

The wind is strong, and the candy is sweet.

The speed of the motorcycle was very fast, and he didn't wear a helmet, Li Chun only felt the wind chasing his hair, and forgot his love......

It's a pity that he is now bald and has no hair, so naturally he can't experience the feeling of light hair fluttering.

After a little melancholy, Li Chun readjusted his mentality and began to think about it again.

Extrapolating from the prices in the bazaar, although the family of the [Space Temple] is not wealthy, at least it will not starve to death.

As a registered monk, the state will give him a monthly subsidy of 1,500 yuan, while Guangzhi is only a small novice, so he only has 300 yuan a month.

The two of them add up to 1,800 yuan, and in terms of purchasing power, they can only barely make ends meet in this remote northwest region.

To put it bluntly, this money is poverty alleviation, and the subsidies of the general temple are self-sponsored, and the state will issue subsidies only if there is no source of income for the [Space Temple].

Moreover, Li Chun's master, that is, the previous host, also left an inheritance of tens of thousands of yuan, which can last for some time if he saves a little money.

However, I looked at the dilapidated temple gate and the unreadable plaque hanging in the center that was about to be eroded by the wind and sand.

Li Chun was irritable for no reason, and it was not so easy to support the burden of this temple.

"Luckily, there's Goldfinger." Stroking the bracelet made of 4 bodhi seeds on his wrist, Li Chun's eyes became firm.

Pushing open the gate, Li Chun and Guangzhi entered the front yard one after the other, and suddenly he frowned.

In the center of the courtyard, there is an old 28 bar, which has a natural sense of age and matches the temple.

"It's the mayor's grandfather here."

Just when Li Chun felt that this bicycle was very familiar, Guangzhi behind him showed his little head, let out a cheerful cry, and then ran into the house.

"Mayor Mare?" Li Chun didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly followed.

"Senior brother, there's no one in the house."

Before Li Chun could enter the house, Guangzhi, who ran into the house first, walked out with a puzzled look on his face.

"Huh?" Li Chun blinked, and suddenly looked at the location of the backyard with some feeling.

A moment later, Li Chun appeared in the backyard with Guangzhi in tow, looking at an old man with white hair on his face, holding a wooden bucket of water to drink.

"Grandpa Mayor?" Hiroshi asked uncertainly.

"Hahaha, it's Xiao Hiroshi~Hiccup~" The old man put down the barrel in his hand with some embarrassment and stretched out his arms towards Hiroshi.

Looking at Guangzhi, who skillfully threw himself into the other party's arms, the corners of Li Chun's mouth showed a smile.

Guangzhi is only six years old this year, it can be said that the circle is very small, and the old man in front of him is the old mayor of [Huahai Town], and he is also the person close to Guangzhi.

The other party would often come to the [Space Temple] to visit Hiroshi, and would also bring him some food and clothing.

"Mayor Mare, you're here." Li Chun stepped forward silently, clasped his hands and asked.

"I went to the city today and bought a few books for Hiroshi by the way." The mayor stroked Hiroshi's bald head and explained with a smile.

"Books?" Hearing this, Hiroshi cheered, broke free from the mayor's clutches, and ran towards the room again.

And the old mayor smiled and said to Li Chun: "Seeing that your door is unlocked, I will come in and go to the market?" ”

The door of the [Space Temple] really doesn't need to be locked, after all, most of the walls have collapsed, and locking the door is really covering your ears and stealing the bell.

"Well, I bought some seeds and wanted to try to grow some vegetables, which I could eat myself and subsidize the temple." Li Chun didn't hide it either, and said what he thought.

"Guangkun, you've finally grown up." The old mayor patted Li Chun's shoulder with relief.

A black line flashed on Li Chun's bald head again, and this was the first time that someone had called his Dharma name since he crossed over.

This feels pretty good...... It's as if Liu Neng said to Xie Guangkun: "Guangkun, you... You're finally out of the devil! ”

"Mayor Mare, what were you doing?" Li Chun decided to change the subject.

"Oh, I just drank this well water, it's so sweet!" Speaking of this, the old mayor came to his senses and gave a thumbs up to the well.

"The dry well is a good omen~ I want to ...... back then" The old mayor took Li Chun's hand and began to chatter.

Li Chun can understand that as soon as people get older, they become more talkative.

2 hours later.........

Just when Li Chunsheng had nothing to love, the old mayor finally ended his tirade, and it was also a shame that he was able to talk about the oil battle from the draught and the well digger.

If it weren't for noon, the old mayor would rush home for dinner, and he would still be able to talk to Li Chun for a few hours.

Li Chun politely wanted the other party to stay for dinner, but the old mayor adhered to the principle of resolutely not eating a single rice and a millet from the masses, and politely rejected Li Chun's kindness.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." The old mayor, who had already driven his bicycle to the door, suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter?"

"Wait, wait, suddenly I can't remember." The old mayor closed his eyes and thought carefully, this matter was on his lips, but he couldn't say it for a while.

"The woods! Yes, that's him! Just as Li Chun felt that he was about to fall into the next two hours of torment, the old mayor suddenly shouted with joy.

"The woods will come back in a few days and bring back the new daughter-in-law."

"........." Li Chun was stunned for a moment when he heard this word, and he reacted: "You mean eating a banquet?" ”

"That's right, it's a feast!"

Most of the things that can be booked in advance are red things, and the last time Li Chun had a wedding banquet in Huahai Town, he was a widower and a widow......

"I'll be there on time." If it is said to be a white matter, Li Chun is still a little timid, but when it comes to eating a wedding banquet, isn't it enough to have a mouth?

After sending off the old mayor, Li Chun began to sort out the harvest at the market, first cleaning the eggs again and then sending them to the refrigerator.

The biggest problem with the eggs laid by this kind of home-raised chickens is that the "production date" is not clear, and if you want to harvest more than 30 eggs a day, it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 20 chickens.

Although most hens can only lay one egg a day, they are not guaranteed to have two and a half years of experience.

However, the basket of eggs in front of him is most likely because Grandma has saved up for a lot of time, so Li Chun has to clean it up and send it to the refrigerator.

There are not many electrical appliances in the "Space Temple", but they all work, such as a refrigerator, washing machine, radio, and a TV to watch the snow.

What a romantic thing it is to be able to see the snow in the desert Gobi~

The only thing is that there is no phone or mobile phone, originally there was one when the old host was alive, but later it was burned into relics with the old host and enshrined in the tomb tower in the backyard.

Although I don't have a mobile phone and can only watch snowflakes on TV, I can pass some boring time by reading books and listening to the radio on weekdays.

The most important thing is that no one has contacted him, Li Chun's circle is very clean, like yellow sand in the sea of bitterness.

"Senior brother, when are we going to plant vegetables?" When Li Chun was packing up the eggs, Guangzhi came out and asked excitedly.

"Well, wait for the evening." Li Chun looked up at the time and said with a smile: "Noon is not suitable for growing vegetables. ”

"Uh, why?" Hiroshi incarnates a curious baby.

"Because the sun is too strong at noon......" Li Chun's words were interrupted by Guangzhi before he could finish his words.

"I see, the seeds are delicate and can't stand the strong sun!" After he finished speaking, he had a look on his face that was about to praise me for being smart.

Seeing this scene, Li Chun smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Guangzhi's bald head: "No, it's because the bald head absorbs heat and is more sunny." ”
