My whole family is fleeing

Chapter 37 Want to grow vegetables

Ning Ning doesn't know why grandpa is so excited, but as long as grandpa is happy, that's fine.After Old Man You calmed down, everyone walked around the field several times, trying to see what the land was like.However, the final inspection results were not satisfactory.After all, this morning is still the time when wild boars and other wild animals are running rampant!

In the end, Old Man You had to admit that this land was really not very fertile.In fact, he already knew it before, but he just didn't want to admit it.Now that I saw it clearly, I didn’t have to think about it anymore.

But when he was about to leave, Old Man You was still worried.

"If I had come a few days earlier, I could have planted some cabbage or something like that. It's really cold now. Even if I plant it, it may not come out. It's a waste of seeds."

"cold?"

Ning Ning was being led by Old Man You and was walking away. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes.She is at the age where she is curious about everything, but she matures earlier than her peers.But perhaps because of this, my thoughts are different from those of adults.

Old Man You just complained that the weather was too cold to grow vegetables, but Ning Ning subconsciously thought that since it was too cold outside, why not find a warmer place to grow vegetables?When she thought about it, she naturally thought of the fire bed at home.Although it was very cold last night, and the cold wind blew in as soon as I opened the door, but lying on the earthen kang, I just felt warm all over my body.And I heard from grandma that not much firewood was spent last night.Qingshui Village is backed by mountains, and the most indispensable thing is firewood.In addition, the strong men of the Youjia family are most in need of manpower when chopping firewood.

So Ning Ning asked naturally.

"Then grandpa, why don't you plant those cabbages in a warm house?"

Old Man You laughed when he heard this.

"You are a child and don't know that this house is where people live. Since these vegetables have been grown in the ground for generations, there is a reason for it. What does the book say?"

The ancestors of the You family were also rich, and Old You barely knew a few words, so now he could speak a few words he heard from his elders or from books.

"People say that these vegetables and fruits, especially the expensive vegetables and fruits eaten by the nobles, must absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon from heaven and earth to grow. We are just poor people. There are not enough people in the house. Where can we live? Green vegetables? Besides, it’s not worth it. We don’t have any green vegetables to eat. Some dried vegetables are enough. We are not that picky. We must eat fresh vegetables in the winter. When we go back later, we can go to the village and ask if there are any. There are no extra dry vegetables. This is what Ning Ning reminded grandpa, Ning Ning is really capable..."

Although Old Man You spoke calmly, Ning Ning easily extracted the key points from it.That means grandpa actually doesn't believe what he said.In other words, they are unable to bear failure.

But Ning Ning bit her lip. Children always become stubborn at some point for some reason.She didn't believe what grandpa said about the food that noble people eat growing on different land. She just wanted to tell grandpa, why can't vegetables live where people live?
So Ning Ning grabbed Old Man You's hand and refused to let go, using all kinds of coquettish tricks. Old Man You didn't want to agree at first, but the fact is that the whole family is preparing for the winter and there is no time to care about the children's little delusions. .

But Ning Ning was so good at acting coquettishly. She raised her little face and looked at Old Man You aggrievedly. Old Man You didn't even react before he already agreed.When I came back to my senses, I felt a little regretful, but at this time, Dabao and the others had quickly picked up their sleeves to dig the soil. The second treasure, Xiaobei, had quick legs and feet and had already gone back to find the basket of soil.Unexpectedly, even You Laoliu came with him when he arrived. He simply heard that Ning Ning wanted to dig soil, so he came to join in the fun.

When they arrived, from a long way away, You Laoliu ran over happily carrying a basket. "Ning Ning! How much soil do you want? Brother Six will dig it for you until you are satisfied!"

Old Man You: "..."

I always felt like I was seeing a puppy that was too happy and wanted to join in the fun.Although it was not a good thing to use it to describe his sixth grandson, Old Man You still quietly disliked it for a moment, and then smiled like a loving grandfather.

You Laoliu ran forward and happened to see his grandfather's smile. He always felt a little strange, but without thinking much, he took the basket and hoe and started digging. After a while, he dug a full basket.

In the countryside, baskets are not very valuable. Wushan usually digs herbs, so there are a few idle ones at home, so I decided to give them to Ningning.

"Come on, Ning Ning, don't you want to plant vegetables? My grandma just borrowed some cabbage seeds this morning. Let's plant them when we get back!"

As soon as You Lao Liu greeted him, the children immediately cheered up. Ning Ning let go of her grandfather's hand and happily went back with You Lao Liu and the others.Old Man You's hands were empty, and his heart couldn't help but feel empty.But his face remained calm, but when the cold wind blew by in the fields, he felt cool and a little empty in his empty palms.

However, Old Man You still smiled and invited Wu Shan to go with him. Wu Shan was embarrassed to point out his disappointed mood.But seeing that my in-laws are kind-hearted people, I reluctantly agreed to go together!
Here, Old Man You was purchasing dry vegetables and other winter supplies from the village. Ning Ning and the other children had already returned home. They looked around in the room with a fire pit and finally placed their target on a dilapidated old table.There is a dustpan on the table, with some needles, thread, and other things in it. They were all cleaned up by Grandma You and other female relatives this morning. After getting permission from Grandma You, Ning Ning and others tidied up the table. You Laoliu Just get ready to put the basket up.

Ning Ning immediately stopped with a serious expression.

"No, Sixth Brother! We have to clean it before carrying it into the house, otherwise it will make the house dirty. Grandma and the others must have been cleaning it for a long time today. It was very hard."

"Listen to Ning Ning, hehe. Let's hurry up together, don't waste time."

You Laoliu rubbed the back of his head and humbly accepted his sister's 'reprimand', earning a look from Grandma You who came over after hearing the news.What's the use of dealing with so many boys!She doesn't know how to care for people at all, but her family Ning Ning already knows how to care for people at such an old age.

Feeling soft, I simply put down my work to teach them how to sift the soil and pull out weed roots. At the same time, I put the sifted soil in the sun, which was no longer strong. It is said that this can kill some hidden in the soil. of insect eggs.

The sun was not very hot at this time, and the insecticide effect was not very good. Ning Ning finally decided to accept her grandma's suggestion and prepare to plant rapeseed until tomorrow afternoon.

When everyone got together for dinner in the evening, they all heard about this incident, and everyone's chatterbox opened up immediately.
