"It's all here, hehe." Su Ying was familiar with herself, and she could feel Zhang Dazhu's kindness, so she followed confidently and boldly, "If you don't mind, I'll go to your house to sit?" ”

"Don't mind, don't mind. It's rare to have a beautiful girl who doesn't dislike my family. ”

The thatched house was ventilated everywhere, and there was no furnishings in the room, and the broken door panel that I picked up somewhere, and some half-cut bricks underneath, which no one wanted, became a simple bed for the father and son.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm a friend of Dazhu." Su Ying greeted the man who was paralyzed in bed politely, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest." ”

The middle-aged man's face was full of vicissitudes, but he couldn't hide the kindness from his heart.

"It turned out to be Dazhu's friend, the family is too shabby, I'm really sorry, girl."

"Our family isn't much better."

Su Ying comforted the man, trying to make him feel more comfortable.

Dazhu boiled hot water to entertain guests, and when he saw Su Ying drinking it proudly, he was excited, and his eyes were red.

"My sister really doesn't dislike us."

It's not that no one has visited his father from home, but those people say that they don't dislike it, but they serve a bowl of clean water with their own hands that has been cleaned more than a dozen times, but those people don't even look at it, let alone drink his water.

is as moved as his son, as well as Zhang Dazhu and his father Zhang Laosi.

"I haven't seen a girl before, so I guess it's my son's new friend, right? Are you here so that I can help you farm? ”

"Huh?" Su Ying was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Dazhu hurriedly explained to his father.

"Dad, you misunderstood, my sister and I only met for the first time today, and I didn't even know her name, and I only told her my name, and I didn't have time to say anything about our family. My sister didn't know that my father could farm. ”

"So that's the case, I'm thinking too much, I'm really sorry."

After explaining, Su Ying learned that Zhang Laosi was a good farmer, and the three brothers above and the family who cultivated a lot of land came to ask him to help his family farm.

But after those people came, they saw Zhang Laosi paralyzed in bed, and no one cared about his body, only said that they could build him a house in the field and take him in.

The condescending attitude of those people, as well as the contempt that could not be concealed, deeply stimulated the ambitious father and son, who refused to go with those people for anything.

Even if he is poor, Zhang Dazhu, who still has a sunny face, can't help but be a little angry when he talks about these things.

"My three uncles, as well as the rich people who begged my father to help them farm the land, came into our house and thought we were dirty, so they didn't even sit, they only stood, and they didn't drink the water I handed us. My dad and I are poor, but we're not stupid. For those who don't look down on us, we don't go to their homes to ask for food. ”

Zhang Laosi agreed with his son's words.

"I'm just out of my legs, the craft of farming is still there, and poverty is temporary. Dazhu just listened to me teach with his mouth, and he was already very good at farming. In two years' time, the wasteland we have cultivated will definitely become fertile land, and we will not be so poor. ”

Although I don't know why the father and son obviously have farming skills, why they are still down to the same way they are now.

But in life, who won't encounter one or two hurdles?

Be honest, especially in front of people who are at a low point, and you don't need to play any tricks.

"Uncle Zhang, Dazhu." Su Ying didn't want to deceive the father and son, "Although I didn't know that you had the craft of farming, and I didn't come here for this, but I really didn't come to make friends, I followed Dazhu here for a purpose." But don't worry, I have no ill intentions. ”

When the four of them reached middle age, they already knew that no one would be so simple as to make friends with the poor without asking for anything.

But he didn't expect Su Ying to be so honest.

In this way, he took off his guard.

Zhang Dazhu is the same. He smiled more honestly, "Sister, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Su Ying nodded.

"I heard you talk about those eggs, so I came over to take a look."

Zhang Laosi's face changed greatly.

"What do you think those things are for? That thing is poisonous, do you know how many people have been harmed? Even my family's big pillar was almost poisoned. ”

Su Ying was surprised: "I know that Dazhu was poisoned by this thing a few days ago, could it be that there are more other people who have been victimized?" ”

Few people in Da Zhou seem to know potatoes, and they haven't heard of anyone eating this poisoned one.

A few days ago, the master seemed to know about potatoes, and sent someone to carry the pillar to the Li family's restaurant to make trouble.

Zhang Laosi's face was a little painful, and he didn't want to say more, he said that the eggs were not a good thing, and asked Su Ying not to touch them.

Zhang Dazhu also said with regret: "My father's leg ...... My father and I have fallen to this point, and we have also been troubled by this egg. Originally, we didn't believe that this thing was poisonous, and we specially cultivated this as food to eat. Who knew that this thing was willing to grow, but it was also really poisonous. Not every one of them is poisonous, but we don't dare to eat it anymore unless we have to. Take your life at risk, I'm afraid! ”

Zhang Laosi sighed and said: "Two acres of barren land have been opened, and all of them have been planted as rations." Now that we know that this thing can't be eaten, Dazhu and I don't know what to eat tonight. In the next few months, I don't know how to make ends meet. It's so hard to live! ”

Seeing that the light of hope in the eyes of the father and son was becoming more and more devoid, Su Ying, an outsider, also felt sorry for them.

She didn't hide it anymore.

"Uncle Zhang, Dazhu, if you believe me, you can continue to eat potatoes, oh, that's what you call eggs."

The father and son were shocked, "What did you say?" ”

There were two baskets of potatoes in the room.

Su Ying picked a few from it and explained it to the father and son.

"Normal potatoes are not toxic, but after the sprouts have a slight toxicity, if you accidentally eat the sprouted potatoes, mild diarrhea and abdominal pain, severe death. Therefore, when eating, it is important to carefully choose the ones that are intact and do not sprout. ”

Hearing Su Ying say this, Zhang Dazhu suddenly realized.

slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "No wonder we have been fine after eating potatoes for a year, just a few days ago there were two long sprouts, and I fried them as bean sprouts and ate them." In this way, I am fortunate to have a great life. ”

Zhang Laosi muttered: "If this is true, wouldn't many people have died in vain?" We really didn't mean to hurt anyone. ”

"What do you mean by Uncle Zhang?"

"Oh no, nothing."

Zhang Laosi refused to say it, but Dazhu didn't want to hide it from his friends.

"Sister, my father used to be a vegetable farmer in Shanglin Yuan, and he grew vegetables in the palace, and it was because the emperor vomited and diarrhea after eating potatoes that his father's leg was broken.

My father is quite light, the many officials of the Ministry of Rites who accepted the potatoes of the foreign people, the imperial kitchen and miscellaneous servants who were responsible for the day's meals, the more than ten Shangshi eunuchs who were responsible for drug testing, and the few imperial doctors who could not cure the emperor's illness were all beheaded by the emperor in a fit of anger.

If it weren't for the envoy of the Tai Hospital at that time to enter the palace in time to cure the emperor, I don't know how many people would have been beheaded. ”

"That's what happened!" Su Ying was furious.

No wonder my father didn't dare to scold openly, but he dreamed of scolding the rebellious ministers and thieves.

Cutting off the heads of so many people indiscriminately is simply a faint king and a tyrant.

Zhang Laosi saw that his son confided thoroughly, and there was nothing else to hide.

"Potatoes have only entered the Great Zhou Dynasty for a few years, and they were originally only planted in the palace, but after this happened, the palace will definitely not be allowed to plant, and they will all be destroyed.

I had eaten a lot of food myself at that time, and I didn't think that the emperor's illness was related to this, and I didn't give up, so when I left the capital, I secretly brought some back.

You see, after two years of hard work, two acres of potatoes were planted. ”

Because potatoes have caused a lot of lives, Su Ying can only curse a few words in his heart.

After scolding, you have to do what you have to do.

Thinking of Zhang Laosi's identity, Su Ying knew that he had picked up a treasure.

"Uncle Zhang, to be honest, I've always wanted to find an expert who knows how to grow potatoes, but I don't know where to find it. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and I inadvertently let me find Uncle Zhang. I don't know if you and Dazhu are willing to help me? ”

Zhang Laosi and Zhang Dazhu looked at each other, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

After searching for a long time, he finally found someone, but he didn't expect that Su Ying would take the initiative to ask someone to help farm the land.

Do you still take him, the future head of the family, into account?

When he entered the door, he grimaced at Su Ying.

Then he squatted on the side of the bed, his face was full of sincerity, and pleaded: "Uncle Zhang, you agreed to her!" ”
