After the idea of planting celery was rejected, Qi Jianguo thought about refuting himself a few more words.

But as soon as he raised his throat, before the words could be spoken, Shi Qiuzhen threw an angry look at him.

As a result, his arrogance was immediately extinguished.

Although Qi Jianguo said that he was thinner, he was also nearly one meter eight tall, but he was still suppressed by the woman next to him, who was less than one meter seven, which was really a bit of a nest!

"Heh..."

Qi Hao hummed expressionlessly, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.

"The yield of celery is much higher than that of corn, and it is also a more sought-after vegetable in the market. Don't think that because others have failed to plant before, we must not be able to plant! ”

"Our family has been growing corn for more than 20 years, and with planting experience, the annual yield can be guaranteed."

Shi Qiuzhen looked up at Qi Hao, although there was anger in her eyes, she spoke much more tactfully.

"Yes! In recent years, the price of corn has also been stable, and it is harvested once a year, and the money from selling it is enough for our family to live... Ahem! Cough! ”

The elderly Wu Guangying also echoed behind.

However, as soon as Qi Jianguo heard his old mother's cough, his spirit that had just languished became alive again.

"It's enough money to live our lives, but that's about it. If in the future, if someone gets sick or has an accident or something, they will... In life, you can't just look at the future, you have to take a long-term view! ”

Between his eyebrows, Qi Jianguo's worry could obviously be seen.

The old mother is over seventy years old, and she was tough a few years ago, but now she also has this cough.

Others think that this is not a big deal, but in Qi Jianguo's eyes, he knows that the old mother's body is getting worse.

Many times, he thought about taking Wu Guangying to the hospital to have a look, even if he was not sick, he could do maintenance.

However, once I go, it is hundreds or thousands, or even tens of thousands, and this home can't afford it at all.

Of course, his neighbors in the same township also introduced him to the work in the city, and it was better to work the construction site than to wait for one acre and three points of land at home, but Qi Jianguo refused them one by one.

It's not that he's unmoved, it's that he can't.

Once I leave, my daughter-in-law's attitude towards my old mother...

Qi Hao naturally didn't know about these private facts.

However, Qi Jianguo's words resonated with him, and he took over the conversation and said: "That's it!" Patronizing the life in front of me, but what if one day, someone gets sick and the family can't come up with money? Is it possible to sit and wait for death..."

Because he has just crossed in, Qi Hao has not fully integrated into this identity, and he has not regarded himself as the youngest generation in the family.

As soon as these unabashed words came out, they immediately attracted the black faces of several people, including the elderly Wu Guangying.

"Smack!"

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, he received a heavy blow to the top of his head.

"You bunny! Is it really not cleaned up, so cursed at home? Have you eaten yet? After eating, hurry down to the ground and ridge! ”

Shi Qiuzhen shouted with chopsticks, her red face was furious, as terrifying as the king of Hades who demanded her life.

Qi Hao was so frightened that he immediately picked up the chopsticks.

The room suddenly fell silent.

After eating, Wu Guangying returned to the room to rest, but as soon as the door was closed, the coughing sound kept coming from inside, tearing the heart and lungs, and it was very worrying to hear.

Seeing this, Qi Jianguo immediately poured a glass of water and ran in quickly.

It wasn't until his cough improved a little that he came out of the back room, stomping his heavy steps and a grumbling face.

"Your mother... How is she? ”

Outside the house, Shi Qiuzhen wiped the small dining table again and again.

Seeing Qi Jianguo come out, she asked calmly, more like coping with her role as a daughter-in-law.

"It's a lot worse than last month, and the medicine I bought from the pharmacy last time doesn't seem to have any effect after taking it recently. I thought, if it really doesn't work, I'll take my mother to the hospital! ”

"But, our family's situation... In the past few years, I haven't saved much money from farming, some time ago, I spent a lot of money to buy medicine for your mother, and now this little money at home is reserved for corn seeds, and I can't even get the extra money to go to the hospital! ”

"Look, the little income from growing corn alone is enough for anything! It's better to..."

"Although we don't make much money from growing corn, we have experience in planting, and the money we sell is enough for our family to live. But celery, we have never grown it, and it's okay to make money, but if we lose money, it will be equivalent to killing our whole family. We can't afford to make this kind of bet! ”

Shi Qiuzhen's face gradually darkened, and he didn't give Qi Jianguo a chance at all.

Then, she returned to her room, took out a stack of tickets from the drawer, and handed them to Qi Jianguo.

"Later, you can go down the mountain and buy the corn seeds, the same one we buy regularly! I asked some people who had bought it, and the price was still the same as last year, and the money here was enough to buy seeds for five acres of land. As for the rest of the money..."

Saying that, Shi Qiuzhen subconsciously glanced at Wu Guangying's room and continued: "You go to the pharmacy and give your mother some more Chinese medicine!" ”

The thick stack of banknotes looks like a lot, but in fact, they are all five or ten pieces of loose money, and the total is only about two hundred.

Qi Jianguo didn't squeak, took the money, and put it in his pocket.

Then, he rolled a cigarette from the room, and with the lit cigarette roll, Qi Jianguo sat on the threshold of the lobby, looking at the mountain in front of his house with a heavy heart.

Under the vicissitudes of life, the two eyes are very melancholy.

"Huh-"

With a long sigh, he got up and went down the hill when he had finished his smoking.

......

After Shi Qiuzhen finished his work, he pulled Qi Hao and went to the mountain to ridge the cornfield.

That is, take a hoe to dig the soil, and then pile it into a long slope of soil.

Although Qi Hao in reality has lived in Jiangdu since he was a child and grew up in the endless traffic of the city, his grandparents are authentic rural people.

When he was a child, as long as he had summer vacation, he would come to his rural hometown to experience rural life.

Therefore, he is not only no stranger to farm work, but also has a long-lost nostalgia, but that's all.

When he took the hoe and started to work, he was completely a novice...

"Why are you clinging to such a large area?"

"What are you doing with such a high ridge, you want to build a mountain!"

"You used to do a good job, why did you do so badly today?"

“.......”

Throughout the afternoon, Shi Qiuzhen's scolding voice echoed in his own field.

Under the influence of Qi Hao's "unhelpfulness", in the end, when the sun went down, the two of them hadn't even finished their way.

On the way home, the more Shi Qiuzhen thought about it, the more angry she became, walking behind Qi Hao, raising her foot from time to time, kicking his buttocks, and scolding while kicking: "I killed cattle in my last life!" How did you give birth to such a rabbit cub as you! ”

When the two arrived home, Qi Jianguo also happened to return home from the market town.

However, when Shi Qiuzhen saw the seeds he bought, she was already angry, and this time, she almost didn't carry it...
