Xu Fengming’s backpack contains a lot of fruits, pears and dates.

These things were all saved bit by bit while he was in the countryside.

These days, the only thing young people who go to the countryside can bring back to the city are these specialties.

Apples, red dates, pears, walnuts, peanuts, persimmons...etc.

However, because they were not cash crops at this time, the yield was not high. Of course, the main reason was that no one developed them on a large scale, so they can be seen everywhere in the countryside.

Except for peanuts, which need to be specially planted every year.

It’s just that the more than a dozen villages in the entire commune, all added together, have less than ten acres of peanut planting area.

Most villagers grow a little each, but it is only enough for the family to eat for a year.

After all, the main crops grown in the fields are grain and tobacco.

The country is still in the period of planned economy, and the problem of food and clothing is still a long-standing problem from the perspective of the national situation.

Having enough to eat is still a top priority.

Especially since there is no land to grow in the city, all food comes from the countryside. If there is no food grown in the countryside, what do the people in the city eat?

Furthermore, the commune requires different crops every year. The leaders of the production teams in each village gather together every year during the slack season, hold meetings in the commune compound, receive tasks, and then return to the village to inform the villagers and lead the whole village.

Young and old men, work hard in the fields.

As for how it will end in the coming year, it all depends on whether God will appreciate it or not.

Eating while looking at the sky is like gambling your life.

No one knows whether they will tighten their belts next year or who will be willing to spend time planting other things.

Besides, the commune won’t allow it!

After finishing lunch, the little girl couldn't wait to open the backpack of her third brother Xu Fengming. When she saw that it was filled with all kinds of food, she felt indescribable joy.

Xu Fengming had just finished his meal. He looked at the little girl grabbing the apple and couldn't put it down, and chuckled:

"I know you like to eat it the most. Third brother, I specially found Aunt Li, who cooks for our commune's big stove, and asked her to get it for you."

"Third brother, thank you." The little girl looked at the red apple, her watery eyes narrowed into a smile.

Xu Fengming shook his head, reached out and took out a cigarette rolled in newspaper, and just held it in the corner of his mouth when he suddenly remembered that his sister-in-law Jinghong was pregnant, so he quickly put the cigarette in the corner of his mouth behind his ears for fear of choking his sister-in-law.

After going to the countryside for more than a year, Xu Fengming followed the local customs and became accustomed to smoking dry tobacco.

Taking one after a meal is a must. In the countryside, he usually has to work hard under the sun right after lunch. His days are not as leisurely as in the city.

I’m so exhausted after a day that it’s hard to survive until night without smoking to relieve my fatigue.

This means that he can have a little more leisure time every winter, but there are still many things for him to do every day.

Just like now, early this morning, when Xu Fengming and Li Guihu, who lived in the same house and also went to the countryside, took a tractor back to the city to visit relatives, production captains from each village were already arriving at the entrance of the commune to prepare for a meeting.

However, Xu Fengming and Li Guihu took family leave, so they no longer need to be entangled with those troublesome things for the time being.

Xu Fengming didn't smoke, so he reached out and took out all the things in his backpack and placed them on the kang.

The little girl took five or six apples and went to the kitchen to clean them.

Xu Fengming grabbed a handful of persimmons, handed them to his sister-in-law Jinghong and said:

"Sister-in-law, I dried these persimmons myself. Try them. They are very sweet. They are from the old persimmon tree at our third aunt's house."

Ma Jinghong reached out to take the persimmon and took a bite. It was indeed very sweet, so sweet that her teeth could almost melt away.

"Big brother, second brother, you guys should try it too."

Xu Fengming was so excited today that he finally returned to his home. The things he carried back all the way were specially brought for his brother, sister-in-law and sister.

Xu Qing also took the persimmon cake given by his third brother, put it to his mouth together with his second brother Xu Aiguo, and started eating.

........

At the same time.

At this moment, in the front yard, the third uncle and the third aunt, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, as well as Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi, a family of seven, were sitting together and talking quietly.

"Boss, Xu Fengming from Xu Qing's family has returned from the countryside. You can sit in the backyard later."

Yan Jiecheng was smoking a cigarette when he heard Yan Bugui's words: "Dad, if you go, what should I do?"

"What are you doing?" Yan Bugui stretched out his hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at his eldest son, and felt speechless.

Xu Qing had previously changed the workshop for Yu Li. Although Yan Bugui was the one who came forward, upon closer inspection, it was his daughter-in-law Yu Li and his son Yan Jiecheng who benefited.

It's snowing today, and Yu Li is pregnant, so she can't go.

Then Yan Jiecheng must go.

Is it possible to let him pass as an old man?

However, Yan Jiecheng felt that when his wife Yu Li changed workshops, he gave Xu Qing an economical cigarette, and his parents gave him two fish.

The favor has been repaid, and he doesn't owe Xu Qing's family anything, so why should Xu Qing's brother come there specially when he comes back?

When Yan Bugui saw his eldest son, he didn't understand the meaning of his words at all. He could only think of the things in front of him, and felt unspeakably helpless.

Yu Li rolled her eyes and immediately rolled her eyes at Yan Jiecheng.

"If our father asks you to go, you will go. When brother Xu Qing comes back, go over and take a look. Can you reduce the meat?"

Yan Jiecheng took two puffs of cigarette, and after hearing his wife's words, he reluctantly stood up, opened the door curtain, glanced at the snowflakes still flying in the courtyard outside the house, shrunk down, and braved the snow, heading towards the backyard alone.<

/p>

At this time, in the middle courtyard, Shazhu and He Yuyu had already entered the backyard.

Everyone in the compound knew about Xu Fengming's return.

There is no way, Xu Qing's house is in the backyard, and Xu Fengming has to pass through the front yard and middle yard when he goes home.

In addition, as soon as Xu Fengming entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly with joy, and everyone in the courtyard had a hard time not knowing.

However, just as Si Zhu and He Yuyu entered the backyard, the elder Yi Zhonghai also stepped out of his house, followed closely behind Si Zhu and headed towards Xu Qing's house.

In Jia's house, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were having lunch and whispered:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Huairu, Feng Ming from Xu Qing's family who went to the countryside is back. You can go over and take a look later to see if you can find anything good."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu frowned and sighed:

"Mom, what Feng Ming brought when he went home to visit relatives has nothing to do with our family. I have to go. Don't always think about worrying about other people's things. It's a sign of affection for others. It's not normal if you don't give them to me.

”

When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard that her daughter-in-law had not spoken kindly to her, her face instantly sank, but she did not dare to get angry.

Even though her son is gone, she still has to rely on her daughter-in-law to support the family.

You can't mess with Qin Huairu casually. If you get anxious, Qin Huairu will slap her butt and walk away. She is finished.

In fact, Mrs. Jia Zhang is now very scared to death. She is worried that Qin Huairu will remarry and her grandchildren will be taken away.

Although since Jia Dongxu's death, Jia Zhang has become more and more sarcastic.

Everyone in the courtyard, regardless of gender, disliked everyone, and looked at everyone as if they wanted to eat her house.

But towards Qin Huairu, not only was Jia Zhang no longer as harsh as before, but she also couldn't even say a mean word.

Jia and Zhang had no choice. With their son gone, Lao Jia left earlier.

If Qin Huairu gets angry, she will have to drink the northwest wind from now on.

Mrs. Jia Zhang is not a fool. Although she is not as smart as the third uncle in the front yard, she can still calculate such a simple account.

Sometimes I saw Qin Huairu and Shazhu walking a little too close to each other in the courtyard, which made Jia Zhang complain at most.

Of course, the premise is that Qin Huairu did not do anything outrageous with Shazhu.

But what if something happens.

According to the character of Jia and Zhang, it would be strange not to scold the stupid ancestors for eight generations.

As for Qin Huairu, Jia and Zhang will not be lenient!

Although Shazhu has been helping her family overtly and covertly during this period.

But in Jia Zhang's opinion, Silly Zhu had an agenda.

However, Mrs. Jia Zhang is thinking now that since Silly Zhu is willing to provide relief, why should she not accept the gift?

But if Shazhu wants to take advantage of his daughter-in-law, that is absolutely impossible!

After Qin Huairu finished her lunch, she packed up the dishes on the dining table and went into the kitchen. After cleaning them, she went to Xu Qing's house in the backyard.

At this moment, Xu Qing’s room was full of people.

Silly Zhu and He Yuyu are there, Yan Jiecheng is there, Xu Damao is there, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong are also there.

Among the six or seven neighbors who came over, Shazhu didn't like Xu Damao, and Liu Haizhong also didn't like Xu Damao.
