Chapter 47 Exchange
Zhao Hui spent the whole afternoon planting the sweet potato seedlings, watering them all thoroughly, and then looked at the sweet potato seedlings with burning eyes, as if he saw a large pile of food in front of him.
But looking at it, he felt that this sweet potato seedling seemed to be a little less, if he could have more varieties, would he be able to harvest more sweet potatoes in autumn, and he would no longer lack food?
Thinking like this, Zhao Hui wanted to go to the little girl's house again to ask for sweet potato seedlings, but I don't know if they are willing to give it.
But if he doesn't give it, he wants to try it, if people are willing to give him, he will naturally be grateful, and if he refuses to give, he will never force it.
Since the drought in the spring, he has been wandering around, and the situation here is almost clear, people are willing to give some food and sweet potato seedlings, that is his benefactor, he is not so shameless, he feels that people do not give, so he is resentful.
He had heard the word "Grace Tubao".
So, when Shen Yusleeve opened the courtyard door early the next morning, he was suddenly startled by Zhao Hui, who was squatting at the door of his house.
Zhao Huitian came here when he was just bright, and not long after he arrived, he saw that it was yesterday's little girl who came to open the door, he immediately bared his teeth and smiled, and handed her a handful of wild vegetables in his hand.
"Can I exchange these wild vegetables for some sweet potato seedlings?" Zhao Hui's voice was very small, and he was a little weak-hearted.
This is yesterday after he planted sweet potato seedlings in the river finally found, he was not willing to eat a single one, in the river washed clean and brought over, he thought that the wild vegetables for sweet potato seedlings, it is better than not bringing anything directly with others, right?
Shen Yusleeve looked at the few wild vegetables in his hand in surprise, blinked, and was just about to say something when he heard Fang Youshun ask her, "Who?" ”
"Huh? It's a little brother I met yesterday. Shen Yusleeve turned back to Fang Youshun, who stopped sweeping the floor in the courtyard and looked at it this way, and turned back to Zhao Hui and said, "You come with me." ”
Saying that, Shen Yusleeve turned around and walked towards the courtyard, came to Fang Youshun, who was still holding a broom, and said what happened yesterday, and then said what Zhao Hui said just now.
When Fang Youshun heard that he was here to ask for sweet potato seedlings, he suddenly became a little interested.
To be honest, when he meets someone who comes to the door, he will always pinch a handful of sweet potato seedlings, but there are not many people who are really interested in sweet potato seedlings, let alone take the initiative to ask for them again.
"You still want sweet potato seedlings? How much? Just grow it at home, or do you want it for others? Fang Youshun looked at the boy in front of him, who was obviously a few years older than Shen Yuchong, and asked with kind eyebrows.
Zhao Hui hadn't been spoken with such a good attitude for a long time, he stammered, then smiled a little stiffly, and replied to him: "I plant, I plant, there is no one else." ”
"You plant?" Fang Youshun looked him up and down in surprise: "Will you?" ”
"Yesterday this sister told me how to plant it." Zhao Hui was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he hurriedly pointed to Shen Yusleeve, who was still standing on the side, and assured him: "I have planted all the ones I brought back yesterday in the ground, if you don't believe it, I can take you to see it."
"Yes, I told him yesterday how to plant, and I remember what my grandfather said." Shen Yusleeve nodded, indicating that this person was not lying.
Sometimes she watched her grandfather plant sweet potato seedlings, and she generally remembered a lot.
"What do you remember that is enough?" Fang Youshun said with a smile, and then took Zhao Hui towards the ridge of the yard where sweet potatoes were planted, and while bending down to pinch off a section neatly from those long sweet potato vines, he told him in detail about the precautions for planting.
Fang Youshun didn't suspect that Zhao Hui was lying, after all, this kid looked eleven or twelve years old, not like an ignorant person, not to mention, he could say that he took himself to see the sweet potato seedlings he planted, presumably he was really sincere in planting, so he had nothing to teach.
And Zhao Hui didn't speak, just quietly observed how Fang Youshun pinched the sweet potato vine, and at the same time seriously wrote down these precautions in his heart.
Shen Yusleeve saw that there was nothing to do with himself here, so he turned around and walked towards the house.
Shen Yulin was washing his face in the house, and when he saw her come in and ask what was going on, Shen Yusleeve told him about what happened yesterday morning, and he said that Shen Yulin was empty.
Fortunately, grandpa didn't know that he left early yesterday, and Shen Yusleeve was the boy he met alone, if they knew, he would definitely be reprimanded again.
In the yard, Fang Youshun spoke carefully, Zhao Hui listened carefully, and when Fang Youshun pinched down all the vines that could be pinched in the yard, there was already a big bundle.
"I don't know how much land your family has for themselves, but these are enough to plant a few ridges, take care of it, and you should be able to pick up a lot of sweet potatoes in the fall." Fang Youshun took a straw rope and kept talking while tying him up.
Zhao Hui listened to his words, the corners of his lips were full of unbearable smiles, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him: "Thank you grandpa for teaching me this." ”
This knowledge of farming was never taught to him by his parents, and Fang Youshun took the trouble to tell him this, he was very grateful.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Fang Youshun pulled him up, and just saw that Grandma Fang's side had already started to set the meal, so he asked him, "Have you eaten?" ”
Of course, Zhao Hui also saw the scene of the meal over there, and subconsciously quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and whispered, "I, I'm not hungry." ”
"How can anyone not be hungry, come and wash your hands and eat together, I don't have anything to eat at home, it's just sticky porridge and wotou, you don't like it." Fang Youshun said and pulled him to wash his hands together.
He also saw that this child was a shameless person, and he was also a person who knew how to be self-reliant, and he was still very willing to help this child.
How could Zhao Hui dislike it, he hadn't eaten anything since he ate what the little girl gave him yesterday, and even the few wild vegetables that he finally found, because he didn't dare to eat them because he was worried about whether he could come and exchange some sweet potato seedlings, his stomach had already begun to throb and ache.
But even so, when he followed Fang Youshun to the table, he didn't dare to gobble it up, only guarded the porridge bowl in front of him and the nest in his hand, and ate quietly and silently, for fear of making some noise and disgusting.
Grandma Fang looked at him like this, and felt a little unbearable, so she gave him a chopstick pickle and told him: "Don't just drink porridge and eat wotou, but also eat some pickles, how can you have the strength if you don't eat pickles?" ”
Zhao Hui looked at the pickles that suddenly appeared in the bowl, his eyes couldn't help but be hot, and he hurriedly whispered thanks: "Thank you, grandma." ”
Since he can remember, his father and mother don't care much about whether he is full or not, especially in the past two years, he is often very hungry and finds food by himself, and at the dinner table their family has always eaten their own people, sometimes his younger brother will directly rob him of his share in order to eat more, and the picture of being taken care of like this is the first time he has encountered it in his life.
Zhao Hui felt as if his heart was blocked by something, and there was an indescribable feeling that he was rising, which made him want to cry very much, but he was afraid of being seen as a joke, so he could only lower his head.
When Grandma Fang saw him like this, she thought that he was embarrassed to eat because of what she said, so she didn't say anything and ate her own food.
Shen Yulin looked at Zhao Hui, whose head was about to hang under the table, and sighed speechlessly.
How do you eat like this? Don't eat it in your nose, right?
Shen Yusleeve didn't have any idea about this, and his eyes didn't even look at Zhao Hui a few times when he was eating.
In her opinion, this is a stranger, it has nothing to do with her, and there is no need to pay special attention.
However, she didn't know that this person would add a lot of color to her life in the future, and almost killed her.
