Someone is coming

When Fang Youshun saw Shen Yuxiu, who was running around outside every day, come back, he immediately greeted her with a smile, pointed at the two people opposite and said, "Do you still remember your third grandpa and uncle? Call me grandpa and uncle."

After hearing this, Shen Yuxiu walked up to Fang Youshun obediently, called them "Grandpa" and "Uncle" respectively, and quietly observed the two of them.

In her memory, the only thing that allowed her to call her third grandpa and uncle was the family she met when she and her grandma and grandpa went to their hometown to beg for food. However, the family in her memory were all skinny and lifeless, and although the two people in front of her were

Still very thin, but still energetic, she didn't dare to admit it.

When Fang Youcheng heard about her third grandpa, his face was filled with smiles. He looked at her up and down and kept sighing: "This child is growing up so fast. He is taller and more plump."

"It's true that I've grown taller, but it's far from being watery. At most, I can barely see." Fang Youshun laughed, but his eyes were full of pride.

Shen Yuxiu frowned when she heard this.

No matter in the school or in the village, whoever sees her doesn't say something about how good she looks. Why can't her grandpa just barely tell her what she looks like?

Fang Youcheng looked at her pouty little mouth, but he laughed, and said to Fang Youshun with a disapproving look on his face: "You know how to talk nonsense. If this child doesn't grow up, then how about other people's little girls?"

How to live?"

The two brothers just started chatting with Shen Yuxiu, but Shen Yuxiu nodded repeatedly while listening.

Yes, she is indeed good-looking. Not only is she good-looking, she is also a very obedient child.

Therefore, Shen Yuxiu, who was good-looking and obedient, did not talk back, and snuggled softly against Fang Youshun's legs, listening to the two chatting.

It turns out that the reason why this third grandpa came suddenly at this time is because the drought in my hometown is worse this year than last year. The crops in the fields have failed to harvest, and more and more people have come out to beg for food.

It is also because of this, and with the increase in the number of people, it is getting harder and harder to get food. Fang Youcheng thought of what Fang Youshun said last year, and left all the food to his family, and brought his young son here to find it.

Fang Youshun wanted to see how it was going this year. If it didn't work, they would go somewhere else.

Shen Yuxiu listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and the scenes she saw last year suddenly appeared in her mind, and a small pimple immediately wrinkled between her little eyebrows.

Doesn’t that mean that the people in my hometown are not doing as well as last year this year?

Similarly, Fang Youshun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows while listening to Fang Youcheng's narration, but he didn't have any good solution to deal with natural and man-made disasters. All he could do was to leave the two of them here to celebrate the New Year first, and then wait for them to leave.

Give some dried sweet potatoes and grain when eating.

He actually proposed that Fang Youcheng just move his family here, but the weather here this year is not very good, and there is no guarantee that there will still be some harvest here next year. After all, growing crops depends on the sky, and God can't do it.

Whether it will rain or not, whether it will be dry or not, is not something he can decide.

What he can guarantee is that if his hometown is still the same next year and there is still some food produced here, he will let them come back to get more food to ensure that the adults and children in his hometown will not starve out.

Relatives came from his hometown, so Fang Youshun asked Shen Yuxiu to call someone from Shen Jinggui's place and ask them to come here for dinner tonight and also meet their relatives from his hometown.

You know, now that transportation is inconvenient and we are thousands of miles apart, it is really not easy for people to come from my hometown. I don’t know when we will be able to see each other again this year. Of course, we have to let the adults and children at home come and get to know each other.

As soon as Shen Yulin heard that someone was coming from his hometown, he threw down his brush and ran to Fang's house without waiting for his parents' permission.

He had a reason to take a break. After the whole day, he kept folding red paper, cutting red paper, and writing calligraphy. He was almost exhausted even if he was bored.

So, when Shen Yuxiu came back and saw Shen Yulin serving tea and water like a bastard next to her grandfather, she almost didn't recognize him.

What kind of style does this second brother have? When did he become so diligent?

But no matter what, Shen Yulin left a deep impression on Fang Youcheng because of this operation. Even many years later, he still remembered the man who affectionately called him "Grandpa" and kept pouring him water.

child.

About to leave, 369.

In this way, Fang Youcheng spent a good year here and was leaving on the third day of the new year.

Before leaving, Fang Youshun loaded their cart with two sacks of dried sweet potatoes and a sack of grains mixed with various coarse grains.

It’s not that Fang Youshun is stingy and refuses to give more, but a cart can only carry these. If there is more, the tires will be crushed. Moreover, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the roads are not easy to walk. Even if the two of them switch carts on the way,

, it is not easy to push these grains back.

In addition to the food, Fang Youshun also gave Fang Youcheng ten yuan so that he could send a telegram if there was an emergency at home, or keep it for emergency use.

Fang Youcheng clutched the money that Fang Youshun had forced into his hands, not knowing how to express his gratitude. Finally, with tears in his eyes, he waved to Fang Youshun's family who were sent to him at the entrance of his village, and turned back to his hometown.

For Shen Yuxiu, this third grandfather who suddenly arrived and stayed for a few days and then suddenly left suddenly only added a little memory to her and let her know some external things, but nothing else.

She was still playing and running around carelessly in the streets with her friends in the village, enjoying herself every day without any trace of sadness.

The same cannot be said for Shen Yuling. Not only did she not feel the joy of the New Year, she was also worried about how to avoid being hungry every day.

Because she drank a lot of white flour and oil, Fourth Aunt Shen had a dark face all day this year. Except for a meal of cabbage dumplings with no oil and water on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fourth Aunt Shen took her and her sisters with her on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

After returning to my parents' house and eating a full steamed bun at my grandma's house, my family continued to live a life of eating soup every day.

Now she no longer expects to eat well, she just wants to be full.

But because of the separation of the family, the adults and children of her uncles' families didn't have a good look when they saw her. Her other sisters could shamelessly go around and stutter, but she was the only one, and no one paid any attention to her.

However, now she has learned to be smart. When she is full, she will lie down on the kang without going anywhere or moving, so that she can get hungry a little slower.

And God seemed to know that if things continued like this, people might not be able to survive. As soon as spring started, it rained to the ground, causing people to cry with joy.

After nearly three years of counting the days to eat every day, people have now settled down. As long as they can cultivate the land, as long as God is willing to give crops a chance to grow, they seem to be tireless and work almost desperately.

Of course, for some lazy people like Zhao Hui's parents, even if they starve to death, they still won't be able to change their dislike of work.

Zhao Hui knew that every family had to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, so he wisely brought a few handfuls of dried wild vegetables home during the New Year period, and stayed at home peacefully until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before returning again.

Stepping into the Fang family's door once.

As time passed, and when the spring blossomed and the flowers bloomed, he took the sweet potato seedlings he had raised by his own hands and planted them in the reed marsh again.

At the same time, he also went to some wastelands to find some cotton locust strips suitable for making baskets, and began to try to make things for sale.

He thought, even if the baskets he made were not as straight as Fang Youshun's, as long as they were strong and sold cheaper, someone would buy them, right?

And the reality was as he expected. Although the baskets he made didn't look very good-looking, some people who were greedy for cheap were still willing to buy them when he went to sell them because they were strong and durable.

In this way, Zhao Hui gradually saved a little money. When the new semester started in the fall, he happily went to his father, Zhao Laowu, to ask for the household registration book to register for school. But as a result, the household registration book was not received yet.

Zhao Hui was first faced with a double-sided attack from his parents.
