Chapter 68 The Poor Little One Killed by Uncle 24
Cheng Fang followed Yuan Chun and first went to the Third Taiye’s house to pay New Year’s greetings. Each of them got the Third Taiye’s milk and two fruit candies.
I went to the fifth master’s house again and got a cake from the fifth master.
Go to the second grandpa’s house again.
The second mistress secretly stuffed three pieces of White Rabbit toffee into each of them, which she was reluctant to take out. Yuanchun was so happy that her eyes widened with a smile.
"Yuan Chun, I'll give it all to you."
As soon as he left the second grandmother's house, Cheng Fang stuffed the toffee into her cotton-padded jacket pocket. Yuanchun happily accepted it, but he peeled off a toffee in his hand. After removing the outer paper, quickly stuff it into Cheng Fang’s mouth.
Cheng Fang subconsciously wanted to spit it out for her to eat.
He was reluctant to eat such expensive candy.
Yuan Chun glared at him, "Brother Cheng Fang, you are not allowed to spit it out."
Then he said, "I still have some here, and I'll eat them too."
As he said that, he peeled off another one and stuffed it into his mouth. His little cheeks were bulging and cute.
This scene happened to be seen by Liu Yuzhu who came to pay New Year's greetings.
Liu Yuzhu stared at Yuanchun jealously, and said in a strange way, "Yuanchun, you even gave me a toffee even if you had one. You actually gave it to an outsider. You turned your elbow outward. I'm going to tell you." Second Grandma.”
“Then you go.”
Yuanchun didn't say that the toffee was given by the second mistress.
The second grandma was kind to her. This candy was specially given to her by the second grandma. The other children did not have it. If she wanted to tell it, she would be causing trouble for the second grandma.
Liu Yuzhu stomped her feet angrily, "Yuanchun, just wait...you idiot who doesn't know your inner and outer neighbors, let's see if the second mistress scolds you."
Liu Yuzhu ran into the second house. Grandma's home.
Yuan Chun and Cheng Fang didn't take it seriously and continued to the next house to pay New Year's greetings.
After walking all morning, the two big pockets of Yuanchun's cotton-padded jacket were full of various snacks.
The two returned to Yuanchun's house, took out all the food in their pockets, and filled a small basin. Yuanchun said with a smile, "Enough for us to eat until the Lantern Festival." "I won't eat it, you Keep it and eat it slowly until February 2nd.”
The little girl loves to eat snacks. When she goes to the mountains to hunt pigweed, she will carry a handful of melon seeds in her pocket and eat them non-stop. For this reason, he planted a lot of sunflower seeds in the yard last year, and they all Yuanchun brought it, which was enough for her to eat for a long time.
At the beginning of spring after the new year, the brigade headquarters issued an order to the villagers, asking each household to plant three-thirds of sweet potato seeds in their own private land.
After receiving the task, the villagers went to the brigade headquarters to find the old village chief and brigade captain.
“Village Chief, we can’t finish all the sweet potatoes we grow.”
“Yes, I will burn my heart if I eat too many sweet potatoes.”
“Village Chief, What do we need to plant so many sweet potatoes for?”
“Village chief, won’t the village grow corn this year?”
...
The villagers asked questions one after another and discussed privately. The entire brigade headquarters square was very lively.
The old village chief sighed and raised his voice and said, "I heard that this year will be a drought year with little rain. Planting corn will affect the harvest. Let's plant more sweet potatoes to ensure the harvest despite drought and floods, and we can really save money. A drought is coming and everyone is hungry.”
The villagers are furious.
"Village Chief, where did you get the news? Is it true?"
"Village chief, we can't all plant sweet potatoes. I don't know whether this news is true or not. Otherwise, we can plant 30% of the sweet potatoes, and the rest of the corn, millet, and sorghum."
"Plant some sorghum. Drought resistance."
"Grow some soybeans, yellow. The maturity period of beans is short, and soybeans can be eaten as food or made into tofu. ”
“Grow potatoes, which are more delicious than sweet potatoes and don’t cause heartburn. .”
