I like it so much

But that's how it is with crops. If you don't plant seeds in the ground, there will be no harvest. Even if you regret it, there is no regret medicine. You can only wait until next year to plant again.

But even so, it did not dampen people's enthusiasm for coming to Fang's house at all. The people who came over kept asking Fang Youshun how to grow seedlings and whether they could leave some seedlings for them next year.

For those who directly said that they wanted to exchange food for food, Fang Youshun readily agreed, but for those who asked for whatever they wanted without mentioning anything about exchange or buying, he just smiled and agreed to nothing.

There were so many people, and it was not like he had nothing to do. How could he have to work so hard to break their legs if they just opened their mouths with empty teeth? Now everyone was short of food and wanted seedlings. He understood, but that didn't mean that

He had to give away the sweet potatoes he had grown with so much hard work.

What's more, not counting the fact that he went to the Yellow River for watering for more than half a year and took care of it every day, these sweet potato seedlings were bought with money, so it was impossible to give them away for free.

Of course, it goes without saying that most people know that they can't take the sweet potatoes for free, let alone force anything. However, those who want to take advantage are very perfunctory and gradually stop coming and don't say anything.

After a few days of excitement, calm finally returned, and Fang Youshun and his wife let out a long sigh of relief.

At such an old age, he has never been seen as a rarity by so many people, and his face has been frozen with laughter in the past two days.

After the excitement, Fang Youshun thought about how to preserve the sweet potato seedlings. Finally, he decided to wait until the autumn harvest was completed and go to the place where he bought sweet potato seedlings to ask the old farmers for advice. After all, there were so many people asking for sweet potato seedlings. He only relied on his little experience in raising seedlings this year.

Afraid of not getting it right.

In addition to saving some for daily food, 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 are very watery. If they are not dried in the sun, she is afraid that they will rot easily if left for a long time.

When Zhao Hui knew that the sweet potatoes were ready to be harvested, he happily dug in the reed swamps. When he dug out the first sweet potato and ate it in his mouth, he was so excited that tears burst into his eyes.

He had something to eat and finally no longer had to be hungry.

But when he dug out all the sweet potatoes, he began to feel sad again.

Where should he store so many sweet potatoes?

Get it home? That's impossible.

He couldn't guarantee that after getting the sweet potatoes back, he would still be able to see shadows or eat as many as he wanted. But if he didn't get them back, there would be a lot of wild animals in this wilderness in winter, and he couldn't guarantee that these things wouldn't survive.

They were ruined by those wild animals, or were discovered by people who were wandering around hunting wild animals while the cats were full of winter.

But if it can’t be taken home, and it can’t be kept in the reed marsh, where should it be placed?

At this moment, Zhao Hui felt at an unprecedented loss.

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

But he just doesn't have one, no family who loves him, and no place where he can rest assured.

Zhao Hui sat next to the pile of collected sweet potatoes for a long time. Finally he gritted his teeth and went to Fang's house.

In the yard, Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang were turning over dried sweet potatoes that had been dried on the mat. When they saw Zhao Hui, who had not been seen for several days, suddenly came, they greeted him as usual.

"Come here? How are you doing with those sweet potatoes? Are they all turned out?"

"It's turned out." Zhao Hui said and quickly 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 behavior when he sees something happening, and he has long been accustomed to it.

"How's it going? You've collected a lot, right? It should be enough for you, right?" Fang Youshun was busy with his hands while chatting with him.

"Well, it's enough to eat." Zhao Hui nodded and agreed. Because of what he wanted to ask, his heart began to beat. But no matter how difficult it was to ask, he still wanted to ask, so he tried to gain courage.

, asked Fang Youshun cautiously: "Grandpa, can I bring those sweet potatoes and wild vegetables to your house first? Those things belong to your house after I bring them. I don't want more. You can just let me eat. I'm afraid."

I didn’t even have anything to stutter when I got home.”

Fang Youshun glanced at him in surprise when he heard this. He generally understood Zhao Hui's difficulty and couldn't help teasing him with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will take your things and not give you anything to eat?"

Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment by the question, and then quickly shook his head.

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

How could this old man be that kind of person? He probably had a lot of food at this house this year, so how could he be interested in something like this?

Besides, even if the old man really wants his things, he won’t lose anything. After all, the old man gave him the sweet potato seedlings and taught him how to grow them. If the old man really wants all the sweet potatoes, he won’t give them to him.

, he just thought that he had worked for this person for half a year, and it was for nothing. What else?

Seeing that he shook his head without hesitation, Fang Youshun suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of sadness in his heart. He lovingly stretched out his hand to rub his head and said, "Okay, since you trust me so much, then get it. I don't want you either."

Some of them will be dried for you to dry sweet potatoes, and some will be left for you to raise seedlings for planting next year. They will all be kept well for you. You can come and get them when you want to eat them."

"Hey, thank you, grandpa." Zhao Hui smiled in surprise and turned around and ran out of the yard. After a while, he brought in a pot of melons. He was obviously prepared.

Fang Youshun looked at the sweet potatoes in his pot and shook his head in amusement, letting him pour the pot of sweet potatoes on the ground and asked: "How many more are there? Do you want my help?"

"Yes, yes." Zhao Hui nodded happily like a rattle.

In addition to the dug sweet potatoes, there were also a lot of dried wild vegetables in the reed swamp. He wanted to put them all in the Fang family, so that he would not have to worry about those things being discovered by people or being picked up by wild animals.

It was ruined.

When Fang Youshun heard this, he immediately got on his tricycle and went to the reed swamp with him. Only then did he realize that this boy was really good at saving things. Not to mention the sweet potatoes that weighed four to five hundred kilograms, and the wild vegetables that filled a small shack.

It’s enough for this kid to eat until next year.

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

The autumn break has not yet ended, and after finishing the work in the private plot, Shen Yulin was called to the team's plot to pick grains and beans, while Shen Yuxiu was left at home to look after his younger brothers and sisters.

Shen Yujun is restless. When he sees the adults busy, he follows a few people to cause trouble. Shen Yuxiu, on the other hand, is lying boredly on the cattail mat spread in the yard. Shen Yusui, who has been there for several months, is about to climb down every time he sees it.

When the baby was covered with cattails, he reached out and grabbed her calf and pulled the baby back, preventing her from crawling to the ground and getting covered in dirt.

Zhao Hui was slicing sweet potato slices on the cutting board. Occasionally he looked up and saw Shen Yuxiu, who was leisurely over there, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows.

He likes the atmosphere of this home and also likes the carefree look of this little girl. I like it so much! I like it so much!
