But planting crops is like this, there will be no harvest without seeds in the ground, and even if you regret it, you will not have a regret medicine to eat, so you can only wait for the next year to plant again.

But even so, it didn't hinder people's enthusiasm for coming to Fang's house at all, and the people who came over kept asking Fang Youshun how to raise seedlings for this thing, and if they could leave some seedlings for them next year.

Those who directly said that they wanted to exchange food for food, Fang Youshun happily agreed, and those who opened their mouths to let them do what they wanted, but did not mention or exchange or buy them at all, he just smiled and did not accept anything.

There are so many people, and he doesn't have nothing to do, how can they have a mouth with empty white teeth, he has to work hard to break his legs. Now that everyone is short of food, they all want seedlings, but this does not mean that he has to give away the sweet potatoes that he has worked so hard to grow.

What's more, not counting the fact that he has been going to the Yellow River to pull water for irrigation for most of the past six months, and he has worked hard to take care of them every day, just because these sweet potato seedlings were bought with money at that time, it is impossible to give them away for free.

Of course, most people don't need to say that they know that they can't take this sweet potato for nothing, let alone ask for anything, and those who want to take advantage of it are very perfunctory, so they gradually don't come, and they don't say anything.

After a few days of excitement, it was finally calm to return, and the old couple of Fang Youshun breathed a long sigh of relief.

How old is he alive, he hasn't been seen as a rare thing by so many people, and his face has stiffened with laughter in the past two days.

After the excitement, Fang Youshun pondered how to preserve the seedlings of this sweet potato, and finally decided to wait for the autumn harvest to be completed, and go to the place where the sweet potato seedlings were bought to consult those old farmers, after all, so many people want sweet potato seedlings, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do it well with only a little seedling experience this year.

In addition to setting aside a little bit of what she usually eats, Grandma Fang has cut all the other sweet potatoes that are not suitable for planting into slices and dried them on the mat in the yard.

Sweet potatoes have a lot of moisture, and if they are not dried into dried sweet potatoes, she is afraid that they will rot after staying for a long time.

And when Zhao Hui knew that the sweet potato was ready to be harvested, he also happily went to the reeds to dig, and when he dug out the first sweet potato and ate it in his mouth, tears welled up in his excited eyes.

He had something to eat, and he finally didn't have to go hungry.

But when he dug up all the sweet potatoes, he began to worry again.

With so many sweet potatoes, where should he keep them?

Get home? That's impossible.

He didn't dare to guarantee that he would still see a shadow or eat much after he got the sweet potato back. But if he doesn't get home, there will be a lot of wild things in this wild grass and wilderness in winter, and he can't guarantee that these things will not be spoiled by those wild things, or found by those who take advantage of the cats to wander around in the wild fields to hunt wild things.

But if you can't get it home, and you can't continue to put it in this reed, where should you put it?

At this moment, Zhao Hui was at a loss like never before.

For the first time, I realized how important it is to have a home or house that people can feel at ease.

But he just didn't, he didn't have a family that loved him, and he didn't have a place where he could rest assured.

Zhao Hui sat next to the pile of sweet potatoes for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and came to Fang's house with a hard head.

In the courtyard, Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang were turning over the dried sweet potatoes drying on the mat, and when they saw Zhao Hui, who had not seen a shadow for several days, suddenly came, they greeted him as usual.

"Coming? How's that go? Have they all been turned out? ”

"It's turned out." Zhao Hui said and hurriedly stepped forward to help Fang Youshun turn over the dried sweet potatoes.

In the past six months, Fang Youshun has become accustomed to this kid's move to get started when he sees it, and he has long been surprised.

"How? Collected a lot, right? It should be enough for you, right? Fang Youshun was busy with the movements in his hands while chatting with him.

"Well, enough to eat." Zhao Hui nodded and agreed, because of what he wanted to ask, his heart began to beat a drum, but no matter how difficult it was to say this, he still wanted to ask, so he raised his courage and asked Fang Youshun carefully: "Grandpa, can I get those sweet potatoes and wild vegetables to your house first?" Those things are yours when you get them, I don't want more, you can just take care of my mouth, I'm afraid that I won't even have anything to stutter when I get home. ”

Fang Youshun looked at him very unexpectedly when he heard this, and generally understood Zhao Hui's difficulties, so he couldn't help but laugh and tease him: "Aren't you afraid that I will accept your things and not give you food?" ”

Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment when asked, and then quickly shook his head.

"Don't be afraid, you're not that kind of person."

How could this old man be that kind of person? Just this year, he has eaten a lot of food here, I'm afraid there are a lot, how can he take a fancy to him?

Besides, even if the old man really wanted his things, he would not lose anything. After all, his sweet potato seedlings were given by this old man, and how to plant them was also taught by this old man.

Fang Youshun saw that he shook his head without hesitation, and suddenly there was an indescribable heartwarming in his heart, and he reached out lovingly to rub his head, and said: "Okay, since you trust me so much, then get it, I don't want yours, part of it will be dried for you, and some of it will be kept for you to raise seedlings and plant it next year, all of which will be well preserved for you, when you will eat and when you will take it." ”

"Hey, thank you, grandpa." Zhao Hui smiled in surprise and turned his head and ran out of the yard, and after a while, he brought in a pot of sweet potatoes, obviously prepared.

Fang Youshun looked at the sweet potatoes in his basin, couldn't help but shake his head funny, let him pour a pot of sweet potatoes on the ground, and asked, "How many more?" Do you want me to help? ”

"yes, yes." Zhao Hui happily nodded his head like a rattle.

In addition to the dug sweet potatoes in that reed, there were also a lot of dried wild vegetables, and he wanted to put them all in the Fang family, so that he wouldn't have to worry about those things being discovered or ruined by wild things all the time in the future.

When Fang Youshun heard this, he immediately rode a tricycle and went to the reeds with him, only to find that this kid can really store things, not to mention the sweet potatoes that are four or five hundred catties, and the wild vegetables full of a small shack are estimated to be enough for this kid to eat until next year.

In this way, Fang Youshun pulled all Zhao Hui's things back to Fang's house, and then helped pick out the sweet potatoes that were left behind, and instructed Zhao Hui to cut all the rest into sweet potato slices so that they could be dried into sweet potatoes.

Now that the autumn vacation is not over, and the work in the field is over, Shen Yulin was called to the team's field to pick up ears of grain and beans, while Shen Yusleeve was left at home to watch his younger brothers and sisters.

Shen Yujun was idle, and when he saw that the adults were busy, he followed a few people to make trouble. And Shen Yusleeve was bored lying on the grass mat spread in the yard, and every time she saw Shen Yusui, who was a few months old, was about to climb off the grass mat, she reached out and grabbed her calf and dragged the doll back, saving her from crawling to the ground and getting covered with dirt.

Zhao Hui was slicing sweet potatoes on the cutting board, and occasionally raised his eyes to see Shen Yu's sleeves leisurely over there, with a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

He likes the atmosphere of this home, and he also likes the leisurely appearance of this little girl, I like it, I like it so much!
