Yang Xiaotao welcomed the two into the house, and then introduced them and got to know each other.

"It's a good time."

Yang Shishi has been here a few times, knowing that Yang Xiaotao has good things here, and he immediately smiled when he looked at the big watermelon.

"It's better to call it sooner rather than to be lucky!"

Uncle Chen said on the side, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly cut the watermelon, and several people ate it.

In the hot summer, eating a piece of cold watermelon, especially when Yang Dazhuang and the two walked all the way, they felt even cooler when they ate.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao and a few people sat at the table, and except for a large watermelon left for Aunt Chen, the rest were wiped out by several people.

Uncle Chen took the watermelon back to the house and left the space for the three of them.

Yang Shishi took the leftover watermelon skin, carried a bucket of water from the water tank, and went to the front yard to feed the donkey.

"Xiao Tao, go ...... this time"

Yang Dazhuang said it, Yang Xiaotao listened and nodded from time to time.

In the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai stood under the eaves, hiding from the sun, and saw Yang Shi coming out with a watermelon peel, his face shaking.

"I still have money to buy watermelons, it's really not a long time."

An aunt on the side also saw it, "Don't you see, those two noodle bags cost at least 100 catties." ”

"Hmm."

Yi Zhonghai replied in a deep voice, his eyes looked at where the Yang family was, and he was in a dull mood.

Originally, there was no way to take Yang Xiaotao, but now what Yang Jiazhuang shows is a bright calf protector.

In this regard, he, a big man, can't do anything.

A sense of powerlessness swept through the body, and then regret from the bottom of my heart.

I regret that I made Yang Xiaotao so stiff, if I wasn't so partial at the beginning, I would be in the same situation as the Chen family at worst.

Alas~~~

Yi Zhonghai sighed, and Yan Fugui in the front yard also shook his head and said nothing.

Looking at the man in front of the gate, although the watermelon skin in his hand was blue from gnawing, he could still eat the rest after peeling off the skin.

That's a lot, that's enough for one meal.

But this man actually used it to feed the donkey?

"Hey, boy, stop, stop!"

Yan Fugui's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly ran to Yang Shishi and stopped the watermelon skin that stretched out to the donkey's mouth.

"Uncle, what are you going to do?"

As he spoke, he pinched Yan Fugui's wrist.

Yang Shishi has a lot of strength, although he also knows this person, but the last time he came to Xiaotao, he said that there are a few people who don't need to be bothered.

is like the woman married in Qinjia Village next door, he doesn't even look at it.

"Young man, you can't feed donkeys."

Yan Fugui said eagerly, the pain in his wrist made him dare not move.

"Why can't you feed it? What a man eats, a donkey can eat! ”

"Oh, this baby really doesn't listen to the old man, this donkey must have diarrhea if he eats it!"

Yan Fugui said seriously, and Yang Shishi was startled when he heard it.

As soon as the donkey was loose, his legs became weak.

They're still counting on pulling the cart home.

Yang Shishi hurriedly let go, and even took back the watermelon skin.

"Really?"

"Of course, I'm a school teacher."

"You're a teacher?"

"That's, you ask this piece, who doesn't know me?"

"The teacher of Red Star Elementary School."

Yang Shishi was in awe.

In the face of readers, he was born in the countryside with a kind of yearning, especially with people like Yang Xiaotao who read and write, and what he did was a big deal.

Readers, know a lot, what you say must be right.

Yang Shishi thought so, and hurriedly took the watermelon peel over, looked left and right, and prepared to dispose of it.

"Boy, you're coming out there."

"Well, I'm from Yangjiazhuang, and I'm in the same place as Xiaotao."

"That's it, we are in a compound, we don't see you when you look up, we can be regarded as our own people."

Yan Fugui hit the snake and followed the roller, and hurriedly put it on, "That's it, you don't know where the garbage is, I'll throw it away for you." ”

"Ah, that's not good."

"You're welcome? The gentlemen of our four nine cities are not welcome, give it to me. ”

As he spoke, he took a bunch of watermelon rinds from Yang Shishi's arms, with a kind smile on his face, but his arms were tight, for fear of being snatched away by others.

Yang Shi was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything, there are many people who have done good deeds and are helpful these years.

Think of it as a well-wisher.

Reaching out and touching the donkey's head, "Black skin, don't worry, I'll bring you beans to eat." ”

The donkey tilted his neck, and then saw Yang Shi untie a cloth bag from the ground row car, reach out and take out a handful of fried soybeans, and let it be handed to the donkey's mouth.

Yan Fugui looked at it on the side, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

In these days, animals eat better than men.

While Yang Shi was not paying attention, he turned around and returned home.

The three mothers watched their old man run back, still holding a bunch of watermelon rinds in her arms.

"Old man, what are you doing with other people's leftovers?"

The three mothers are a little disgusted.

"Women's people, I don't understand."

Yan Fugui began to show off his knowledge.

"This watermelon rind is not useless."

"You see, cut off the hard outer layer, and the remaining inner skin can not only be stir-fried, but also pickled."

"And the book says that this thing has a slight smell and a light taste, and it is a good thing to clear heat, quench heat, quench thirst, and facilitate urination."

"Do you think it's useful?"

The three mothers immediately glared when they heard this, "Old man, you are still amazing, you are really good." ”

"Don't say it, hurry up and pack up. This guy gnawed so cleanly, it's just such a layer, and I don't know how much to keep! ”

"One layer is enough."

The two of them were pounding for a while, and Yan Jiedi's eyes widened in the room, looking at the green watermelon rind and drooling.

In Yang's house, after Yang Dazhuang finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao also said about the paper handing in, and the two of them also understood that they couldn't talk about this matter alone.

So just go with the flow, as long as you plant the land.

Yang Dazhuang said that there should be a variety of autumns, and Yang Xiaotao also knew it and said that there was no problem.

But what Mrs. Yang said about supporting other villages, it was a little too much.

With such a large yard, Yang Dazhuang is also a person who understands the market, so he naturally knows that there are not many seeds planted in this land.

In his mind, Yang Xiaotao's grain should have been retained the year before last.

Even thought that Yang Xiaotao didn't have much inventory in his hands.

So, when it comes to this, he doesn't force it.

First of all, make sure that you have something to eat in your village.

The two talked again, and soon it was time for lunch.

Yang Dazhuang was about to get up and leave, he had thought about it before he came, hurry back and don't make trouble here.

But how could Yang Xiaotao let him go like this?

To put it mildly, let the two stay and finish eating before leaving.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao simply made a few dishes.

Three salted duck eggs and two goose eggs, both cut into four pieces and placed on a plate.

A plate of braised carp, a roast duck that Wang Xiaohu bought (two cents for running errands), and the pig's intestine brought by Wang Dashan's family, fried a pot of cabbage.

Four dishes, Yang Dazhuang was restless.

Such a way to eat, that's how thick the family is.

But Yang Shishi came and sat there and let it go.

During the meal, Uncle Chen came over with a bottle of Fenjiu, and the four of them drank it on the table.

Finally, the staple food is rice with oil residue.

This meal, I also ate up the rice bags at home.

Of course, in Yang Xiaotao's space, there are more than a dozen bags of vacuum-packed long-grain rice.

A few people didn't move their chopsticks much, and after eating, most of the roast duck didn't move.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao put the prepared things in the car.

A few bottles of chili sauce, some pickled vegetables, a few canned peaches, duck eggs, goose eggs, and leftover roast duck were put on the car.

The two refused, so they could only walk back with a red face. I don't know if it's shyness or drinking.

got on the donkey cart, waved at Yang Xiaotao and left against the sun.

It wasn't until the car disappeared at the mouth of the alley that Yang Xiaotao turned around and walked home.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he was stopped by Yan Fugui.

"Third master, what are you doing here?"

Yang Xiaotao took a sip of wine, and Yan Fugui leaned over with a face and did not dislike it.

"Xiao Tao, something, let's talk about it in the house."

As he spoke, he pointed to his house.

Yang Xiaotao frowned, not wanting to deal with him.

"If there's something you can say here, just say it."

"This, this."

Yan Fugui was a little unspeakable, looked left and right, but still didn't say it.

Yang Xiaotao waited for a while, and when he saw that he still didn't speak, he was ready to leave.

At this time, the three mothers came out with Yan Jiedi in their arms, and the little girl had a pair of big eyes purring, holding a green strip in her hand, crunching and gnawing.

Yang Xiaotao recognized it, it was watermelon rind.

My heart was inexplicably touched.

"Xiao Tao, there are indeed some things to discuss with you."

The three mothers spoke.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Yan Fugui again, and then at the three mothers, "Okay!" ”

Yan Fugui hurriedly welcomed Yang Xiaotao into the room.

The three masters' houses are neatly placed, except for Yan Jiekuang who is doing his homework, Yan Jiecheng's brothers are not at home.

came in and sat down, and the three mothers hurriedly poured tea.

"Don't bother, I'll just stand."

He didn't dare to drink Gao Cui of the three masters, and if he drank it, he was calculating.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't come and don't have it, I'm troublesome."

Yan Fugui and the three mothers glanced at each other, and then Yan Fugui began to speak.

Now that the supply of grain has been reduced, their families have more or less food to eat, but there are too many people to eat, and there is no enough to chew.

And they are not like the Jia family, there is also Yi Zhonghai to help them, sometimes the stupid pillar will also stretch out his hand, in addition to relying on Yan Fugui's salary, Yan Jieping has no salary, only calculating something.

But in these years, everyone is a hairless rooster, and if you calculate and calculate, you can get a little bit of money by fishing.

In the past few months, Yin has eaten grain, and some of them can't stand it.

So, today, when they saw Yang Dazhuang and they sent food to Yang Xiaotao, and then remembered the corn planted in the yard, the couple came up with a way to sum it up.

That is, to exchange the fine grain in their hands with Yang Xiaotao for coarse grain.

In this way, the quantity increases, and you can eat it.

Immediately, Yan Fugui said what he thought in his heart, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

After Yang Xiaotao heard it, he thought secretly in his heart.

Now Yan Fugui has not gone to the countryside to exchange food, it should be that time is not to deal with it.

At this time, the countryside is eating a big pot of rice, how can anyone have surplus food?

It is estimated that no action will be taken until the end of the big pot of rice.

It's just that he didn't expect that now this Yan Laoxi will hit him with the abacus.

Looking at the longing on the faces of Yan Fugui and his wife, Yang Xiaotao turned his gaze to Yan Jiedi, and finally thought about it and nodded in response.

Yan Fugui and the others had been looking at Yang Xiaotao's expression, and when they saw him nodding, Yan Fugui immediately laughed.

"Three masters, you can tell me, how to change the law."

There are some things that have to be made clear, but he knows in his heart who this Yan Fugui is.

Don't look at the well-behaved appearance now, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely be calculated.

"Xiao Tao, I inquired."

Yan Fugui has already had a draft, and he has studied this kind of thing for a long time, but he has never found the object of implementation.

"The price given by the grain store is. A pound of fine grain is two cents and five, and coarse grains are one cent. ”

"Calculated in this way, one pound of fine grain can be exchanged for two catties and two halves!"

"The third master suffers a loss, you just give me two catties and two taels."

Yan Fugui had shrewdness in his eyes and a smile on his face.

Yang Xiaotao replied with a sneer, then got up and left.

This was completely unexpected by him, and he hurriedly grabbed Yang Xiaotao.

"Xiao Tao, if you have something to say, say it well."

"Say it well? Say what? You are calculating me like this? ”

Yan Fugui immediately shook his head when he heard this, "How dare I, Xiao Tao!" ”

"You still don't dare? Okay, you go to the grain station and tell them, don't be fine, see how they give it to you! ”

"Yan Laoxi, do you think the grain ration is set arbitrarily?"

"Do you think everything written in the food book was changed casually?"

After speaking, Yang Xiaotao tore off his sleeves and went out to the middle courtyard.
