After putting the corn in the pot, he sat at the entrance of the stove and added firewood. Looking at the fresh corn kernels, he knew that he must not plant them directly. He had to wait for the corn to sprout, and he couldn't! He gritted his teeth and planted 20 corn kernels directly in the ground. After all, it was definitely not that simple in the black soil in space.
While he was lighting the fire and looking into the pot, he naturally prepared to take out a cigarette. He felt lonely and didn't even have a pocket in his pants.
He was a heavy smoker in his last life, so he still had to make money quickly!
When the corn is ripe, the smell of corn comes out of the pot. Pick out the corn and quickly break it in half.
He gnawed away the traces of picking the corn, then walked outside with half of the corn on his head, "Grandpa, I'll just eat half of it, and I'll give you this half."
"Grandson, you eat yours, grandpa won't."
He put it directly into Old Man Li's hand and said, "Grandpa, if you don't want to eat? I won't eat either."
Old Man Li knew that his eldest grandson was filial, so he picked out five or six corn kernels with his hands and said, "I will eat these, and the rest will be given to your grandma, your second uncle, your second aunt, and Xiaolong and Xiaohu to have a taste too."
Li Laifu gnawed the corn, while Old Man Li put it into his mouth one by one and chewed it slowly.
He was lying on the recliner, eating corn in his mouth, but his mind entered the space. He looked at the corn he had just planted, but there was no reaction? Putting the finished corn cobs aside, he frowned and extended his thoughts into the soil, wanting to see what was going on?
As soon as his thoughts came close to the soil, he suddenly felt as if the soil was absorbing his thoughts. The corns also grew rapidly with the loss of his thoughts, the first, the second, the third...
As the tenth corn matured, Lin Laifu felt a sharp pain in his head and lay down! It was worth it to see gold stars in front of me on the recliner. There were at least three ears of corn growing on each corn cob. This big black soil was really awesome.
After resting for half an hour, I resisted my sleepiness and took out ten corn plants, 35 corn cobs, and corn kernels, weighing at least five kilograms, and planted them directly in the land again. This time, I planted half an acre of land.
I couldn't open my eyes, and shouted: "Grandpa, I'm sleepy, please take a nap."
"Grandson, go to sleep if you feel sleepy!"
…
He didn't know how long he slept for. When he opened his eyes, an old lady was holding a fan in her hand and fanning him with a smile on her face. "Grandma, when did you come back?"
She touched Li Laifu's head and said, "Grandma has been back for a long time."
"Grandma, are you awake? Can my brother and I come in?" Bruce Lee shouted.
"Your eldest brother is awake, you should go away too!" The old lady still wanted to talk to her eldest grandson, but who knew that this little bastard was making a lot of noise.
Li Laifu stood up and saw that his grandfather and his second uncle and second aunt were sitting at the door. The three of them sat side by side on small stools, blocking the door tightly, obviously afraid that the two boys would come in and cause trouble.
"Second uncle, second aunt, you are back too."
Second uncle Li Chongwu said: "I haven't seen you for two years, and you are almost as tall as me."
"Second uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be taller than you next year."
Li Laifu looked at his second uncle and compared himself. He was now about 1.68 meters tall, but he was too thin.
"Brother, where is the corn? Grandpa just said you can eat corn when you wake up?" Li Xiaohu came over and asked.
"I know how to eat in one day, come here! I can save you," the old lady came out of the house, holding a white porcelain bowl filled with corn kernels.
"Grandson, grab some food first and then share it with them," the biased old lady said directly to Li Laifu without caring about her daughter-in-law's attitude.
Li Laifu secretly glanced at his second uncle and his aunt. The couple didn't look unhappy at all, as if they thought this was the right thing to do.
"Grandma, I ate half of my lunch. I'm not hungry yet. You go ahead and eat!"
Old man Li heard that his eldest grandson had already eaten half of his meal, and he was afraid that if the old lady continued to give in, what would his second son and daughter-in-law think? He said: "My eldest grandson and I have already eaten, so you can share the food."
At this time, the old lady took ten pills each from the bowl. She didn't even leave behind her son and daughter-in-law. She only ate a few pills by herself and stuffed the rest into Li Laifu's hand.
The two brats were just like Zhu Bajie swallowing the ginseng fruit. They had already finished eating it. They kept looking around with their eyes. Finally, half of the corn kernels were mixed in the hands of his parents. Li Laifu also divided the corn kernels in his hands. Two pills for each person.
It was getting dark in the evening. Old Man Li banged the pot on his pipe and said, "Second brother, don't go back to eat as a family. Just eat here! Your eldest brother brought three kilograms of sorghum noodles and cooked a pot in a while. Wild vegetables, grab a few more sorghum noodles.”
The second aunt quietly glanced at the old lady. These days, a daughter-in-law treats her mother-in-law like a mouse sees a cat. It is natural for the mother-in-law to scold her daughter-in-law. How dare the daughter-in-law abuse her mother-in-law? The people in the village can drown you with their saliva, and if you fail, they will send you back to your parents' home.
"Xiao Cui, you and I are picking wild vegetables," the old lady said to her second aunt without raising her head.
"Okay, mother," the second aunt agreed, rolling up her sleeves.
Li Laifu looked at his grandfather. His second uncle was holding a cigarette pot in his mouth, and he was greedy at the smell of smoke.
He looked away and heard Li Chongwu say: "You two should quickly eat the corn kernels in your hands. If you dare to say that you have eaten corn kernels when you go out, I will skin you when you get home."
Li Laifu looked at the two Bruce Lee brothers, each holding a corn kernel in his hand and still smelling it.
Suddenly remembering something, he asked: "Have you two boys washed your hands?"
Xiaohu blinked and replied: "Brother, why are you washing your hands?"
Li Laifu said to Li Chongwu: "Second uncle, please give them a quick beating. They peed in the mud in the afternoon and ate without even washing their hands after playing."
Li Chongwu smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay! The boy pissed himself into the fire."
Li Laifu sighed secretly, the children these days are all supported by God.
Li Laifu looked at a few people. His second uncle's eldest daughter was not there. He asked, "Second uncle, why didn't Xiaoli come over?"
"I thought you had forgotten your sister. Fortunately, she often says she misses you. She also went to the city to learn tailoring with her cousin."
It's really amazing to have a place to learn a craft these days.
At this time, the second aunt was picking vegetables and said with a smile: "Laifu, my little Li Ke said that after learning tailoring, I will make clothes for you."
Li Laifu's face turned red when he said this, and he had completely forgotten about this sister.
"Grandpa," Li Tiezhu's voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Second master, are the second wives here too?" Li Tiezhu walked into the courtyard and said.
"Tie Zhu, what's the matter with you?" Old Man Li asked.
Li Tiezhu took out an egg from his pocket and said, "My father heard that my uncle was back and asked me to bring him an egg."
"Tie Zhu, take it back! I won't eat it," Li Laifu thought for a moment and said. These days, people are replacing eggs with some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
