The first phone call with the owner was very harmonious and friendly, and the chat lasted for 20 minutes before it ended.
During this period, Su Xingchen's favorability towards the house owner increased a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course, Su Xingchen knew very well about finding a job, and it was impossible to really rely on the owner of the house to arrange a job for him.
The young man, who was already sleepy, thought about his future life arrangements, so he pulled himself together and read the book for half an hour before going down to rest.
Like every night, the dogs nestled at the stairs and waited for their masters.
Seeing the door opened, he stood up wagging his tail, yawned and stretched, then leaned close to Su Xingchen's feet and rubbed him affectionately: "Aww..."
Su Xingchen liked them so much, he immediately put down the book, bent down and stroked a dog's head with one hand, and stroked it vigorously twice, and went downstairs when he was happy.
First go to the chick room to take a look at the chicks. The chicks are all nestled together and fell asleep.
"Hush..." Su Xingchen glanced at the dogs beside him, telling them not to mutter, "Go, go back to sleep."
One master and two pets walked through the moonlit yard, returned to the bedroom, smelled the smell of mosquito coils all over the bedroom, and went to bed quietly.
At night in the countryside, it is very quiet and very 'noisy'.
It is quiet because there are no human voices for several miles around; and it is noisy because the sounds of snakes, insects, birds and animals are heard from time to time in the nearby forest.
Thinking of them as a noise is bound to lead to poor sleep.
And think of them as memorials of nature, and you will sleep well.
Early the next morning, Su Xingchen, who was in high spirits, brought two buckets of well water to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables.
Finding that the early mustard greens were as high as his palm, he was surprised and happy to bring a vegetable basket, and picked some from the dense early mustard greens.
So this morning, on President Yu's dining table, there was a dish of boiled mustard greens.
Soy sauce and shredded ginger are the few condiments, pick up the overripe mustard greens and bite down, looking for sweetness in the bitterness, the taste is refreshing and unique, and it is authentic.
After Yu Fengxing took a bite, he glanced at his friend's message: Mr. Yu, this is the mustard greens I planted myself.
This is more desirable than Yu Fengxing receiving a gift worth XXX.
Just imagine that besides your own mother, who else can grow vegetables for you these days
Yu Fengxing didn't even think about it, just because of his admirable title of president of a certain company, there are many people who are willing to grow vegetables for him!
It's just that Mr. Yu is blinded by lard, and when he likes new friends, he thinks that his new friends are good everywhere.
There is no doubt.
And his new friend Su Xingchen, whom he was thinking of, took a bunch of mustard greens from his own vegetable garden, and rode a tricycle to the village.
As if offering a treasure, Su Xingchen brought the vegetables he had grown to Uncle Niu, and smiled happily: "Uncle Niu, this is the mustard greens I planted! I'll eat it for you!"
Uncle Niu was taken aback, and then smiled: "That's kind." He looked at the dish in Su Xingchen's hand with rare eyes, and carefully took it over, "Is your chicken cub okay?"
This cautious tone is afraid that someone will accidentally poke the child's heart.
"Yeah! It's okay." Su Xingchen replied: "I'm still alive and kicking, but I'm so annoying. Every day I come out to let the wind go, I know I'm shitting."
"Hahaha." Uncle Niu imagined the scene of Su Xingchen chasing chickens and dogs in the yard, and Lao Huai smiled comfortingly.
I thought to myself, how good this child is, why is he not his own cub.
Uncle Niu looked at the sun: "Are you still going to town today?"
Su Xingchen also looked at the sun: "Go." But don't worry, he looked at Uncle Niu: "What have you been doing recently?"
Uncle Niu took a puff of his cigarette and pointed to the semi-finished bamboo products at the door: "In the morning we weave baskets, in the afternoon we make coir raincoats, and at night we can't do it, and our eyes can't see."
"Hmm..." Su Xingchen nodded.
Uncle Niu is over 70 this year, and the rural people look older than their actual age.
At this age, it is rare to be able to maintain a healthy body.
Su Xingchen felt that this topic was a bit sad, so he didn't say anything more.
"What good thing happened to you today? Smiling so happily?" Uncle Niu asked suddenly.
When Uncle Niu saw Su Xingchen for the first time, he always felt that the child was young, with a heavy smile and a look of sadness that didn't match his age.
The feeling of the whole person, although gentle, is not as good as the current sunshine.
"Ah?" Su Xingchen touched his face in embarrassment, showing off all over his body: "I made a new friend recently."
After speaking, he showed a mouthful of small white teeth.
A very standard eight.
"Ahem, have you made a girlfriend?"
That's no wonder, Uncle Niu thought happily.
"No, no." Su Xingchen waved his hands with a blushing face, and quickly explained clearly: "It's a boyfriend." After he finished speaking, he froze for a moment, as if something was wrong
Su Xingchen thought for a while, and then re-emphasized: "Male, sex, friend, friend."
It should be said so.
"Oh." Uncle Niu said.
After chatting with Uncle Niu for a while, Su Xingchen, who still had plans today, wore a straw hat and waved goodbye to Uncle Niu, then sang and raced all the way to the largest town within a 30-mile radius.
At this moment, Su Xingchen drives the best tricycle, lives in the most spacious compound, raises the wildest dog, makes the most intimate friends, everything is so beautiful.
I went to town today and bought this and that and spent a small sum of money.
Su Xingchen couldn't help but feel anxious. In the past few days, to take care of chicken cubs and repair the kitchen, his income has been zero.
So after going back in the afternoon, between the two choices of making money and reading, Su Xingchen felt that the knowledge gained from reading could not be converted into RMB in a short period of time, so it was more practical to dig mountains for goods.
The dogs didn't go out for several days, so they are very good at watching words and expressions.
When they saw Su Xingchen carrying a hoe on his shoulder, they knew that the master was going out.
"Wow!" Xiao Huang took the lead, and Xiao Bai followed. The two chubby dogs, like two meat bombs, rushed out of the house in an instant and jumped straight up the mountain.
Now they look so happy, Su Xingchen can't help but worry, if he goes back to Beijing to study, what will happen to these two dogs
It is impossible to bring them back to Beijing, the environment there is not suitable for raising dogs.
"Hey, wait for me!" Su Xingchen shook his head, locked the courtyard door, and chased after him.
The fierce afternoon sun shone hotly on his body, making Su Xingchen sweat all over soon.
"It's so hot." Su Xingchen still didn't give up, looking for wild yam.
So he didn't immediately rush to the hillside where he dug kudzu root last time, but looked around for any trace of yam.
Wild yam is a rattan plant with triangular leaves, somewhat similar to the shape of a heart; it likes to grow on hillsides, under bushes, and beside ditches.
Su Xingchen searched for several places along this geographic location, and finally saw a suspiciously shaped leaf.
But he wasn't sure if it was yam or not.
I had no choice but to put down the things on my body, carefully waved the hoe, and turned over the soil under the vines to see if there were any yams.
As a result, when the hoe went down, Su Xingchen felt that he had hoeed something incredible!
Su, who had a strong premonition in his heart, turned up the soil with a solemn expression, and saw a white incision with mucus in his heart.
"Ah..." Student Su, who obviously has no obsessive-compulsive disorder or perfectionism, feels his chest hurts, it hurts so much!
The fans saw that the farming brother unexpectedly started the live broadcast, and hurriedly came in excitedly, wanting to say hello to the anchor brother.
"..."
As a result, the viewers who came in, without exception, saw the anchor brother sitting on the ground sullenly, holding two broken yams in his hands, and muttering: "It's like this when you go down with a hoe, and it's like this when you go down with a hoe." It's such a pity!"
Audience: Holy shit, what a pity!
Su Xingchen saw the message and broke down: "Ahhh..."
Only then did the audience realize that they shouldn't have said that, otherwise the anchor brother would feel even more uncomfortable.
Ning Xin: What, brother anchor, a yam is fine, there are still a lot in the field.
The mood of French fries: Hey, do you have yam today
Follow your heart: take it home and eat it at night!
This honest comment immediately comforted Su Xingchen's heart.
This netizen was right. He took it home at night and stewed it with red dates and ribs, and ate it happily with the owner of the house.
"Well, I found the yam today. Look at it. It's not small. It tastes very powdery and soft. It's an authentic wild yam. It can relax muscles and activate blood circulation, relieve cough and phlegm, dispel wind and relieve pain, and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Strengthening the kidney and nourishing the essence, in short, it is a very beneficial and delicious delicacy." Su Xingchen spared no effort to introduce, with an attitude of sharing good things, he sold wild yam to everyone: "I don't know how much I can dig in a while. If it is enough to sell, it will be sold at 20 yuan a catty, and if you buy more, it will be free shipping."
Things worth ten or twenty yuan are very well accepted by the audience.
Besides, everyone knows that yam is indeed a good thing, and eating it often is good for the body.
Buy the wild yam of the anchor brother, twenty yuan a catty, you can't buy it at a loss, and you can't be fooled.
When Su Xingchen buried himself in digging yams, the message area in the live broadcast room was full of people buying, buying, and ordering, ranging from five catties.
There are also people discussing the kudzu root that they bought last time, and it is really delicious in soup.
The buyer shared: The taste is powdery and sweet, do you know the soup that comes out? There is a thick feeling! Anyway, the kudzu root I bought in the supermarket can't cook this effect.
A bunch of people listened to the devilish Amway, and frantically left a message to ask the anchor brother: When will you dig kudzu root again? Is there any kudzu root that I want to buy from you
Su Xingchen was busy and didn't have time to reply to the audience's messages.
At this moment, his bangs were soaked and his back was sweating profusely. He raised his hoe and smashed into the soil, digging out the yams buried deep in the soil one by one.
After about forty minutes, Su Xingchen panted heavily and began to count the results of the battle just now.
He carried it in a sack, and estimated that it weighed about twenty catties less.
Considering the time cost, Su Xingchen picked up the yam, wiped the sweat off his face as he walked, and said, "Let's go dig the kudzu root, dig some kudzu root and go back."
Otherwise, it would be too uneconomical to dig up only 20 catties of yams this trip.
Viewers who want to buy kudzu root in the live broadcast room: Happiness comes too suddenly!
But they forgot, and they will snap up more in a while.
Because how should I put it, Su Xingchen's mountain products are very popular, and it's basically a situation of quick hands and slow hands.
But he said that Su Xingchen reckoned that it would be dark after he dug the kudzu root, even if he rushed back, he would not be able to catch up with the meal time for the city people.
So he took advantage of the break to send a text message to the owner of the house, explaining the specific situation: Mr. Yu, I haven't finished my work yet, and I may be able to go back later. Well, I probably won't be able to catch up with your dinner order. No you eat out
After sitting for a while, the owner of the house replied to him: work? What are you doing again
Before Su Xingchen had time to type, he immediately asked: What time is the delay
Su Xingchen replied happily: I went up the mountain to dig kudzu root, and there are yams, forget it, I'd better go back early, and stew yams for you to eat [haha/]
He was still thinking about the unlucky yam and wanted to eat it quickly.
In City S, Mr. Yu, who was sitting on the boss's chair with the air conditioner blowing on his face, was slightly taken aback.
Go up the mountain to dig yams
These words made the boss frown.
In other words, the family situation of the mysterious friend has reached the point where he can only live by digging yams up the mountain
When he suddenly learned of this situation, Yu Fengxing was very astonished, and then he felt a little distressed.
It has to be said that the way Yu Fengxing treats his friends has always believed that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
He will never be a good person in front of his friends, let alone love others like a mother-in-law.
He would simply and rudely help his friends when they were in trouble.
As for the new friend's situation, Yu Fengxing felt that his heart was really distressed.
