"Okay, but you have to work hard, and don't let people say that I put my own people in there to be lazy," the captain said
"Dad, don't worry, I won't embarrass you when the time comes," Wang Junyu said
After the family had breakfast, the captain took his young son to work, while Aunt Dahua tidied up the house and did some housework.
Fang Nuo, on his side, ran a few steps quickly and slowed down after getting farther away from the captain's house.
And Yaya in her arms thought her mother was teasing her by running, and she laughed in her arms.
After she stopped, he tugged at her little face and said with a smile: "Ya Ya, our house is going to be covered with tiles, and we won't have to worry about rain leaks in the future. Aren't you very happy?"
Little Yaya just smiled at her, and Fang Nuo didn't care whether she understood it or not. Anyway, she was very happy, and her steps home became much more brisk.
When she got home, she looked around the room and prepared to put some things that were difficult to put on the outside into large wooden boxes and lock them.
Then she had to prepare a relatively large plastic sheet to cover everything in the house, so that it would be cleaner.
So she closed the door, took Yaya into the space, found a piece of plastic that had a more contemporary feel, cut out a piece, folded it, and took out the space to put it in the corner of the kitchen where tools are stored.
After finishing this, she put Yaya on her back and went out to cut the grass for the day. She went home for lunch at noon. She had just put Yaya to sleep and was about to go to the backyard to weed the vegetable field when Aunt Dahua came over.
"Xiao Nuo, your uncle Cheng Jian has already found someone for you this morning. The three of them are all from the village," Aunt Dahua said as she entered the yard and saw her.
"Auntie, you're here, let's go into the house and talk." Fang Nuo put down the things in his hands and turned around and said
"No, I just came here to tell you about this. Three of them are from our village, and one is my youngest son. The wages they charge are not high, only 20 cents a day for each person, and a meal is included. Yes, do you think it’s okay? If possible, I’ll go back and tell your uncle to ask them to start working tomorrow, otherwise the weather will change at some point,” said Aunt Dahua.
"It's okay, but I haven't bought the tiles yet. Have my aunt and uncle told you?" Fang Nuo asked.
"Tile tiles, your uncle said, our brigade still bought a lot of them years ago. It's enough to build your two houses, not too much. Just give me five yuan, and he will write a note then." Here it is, just take it and pay it," said Aunt Dahua.
"Well, as long as there are tiles, we will start work tomorrow. Auntie, don't leave in a hurry. The vegetables in my backyard are good. I will pick some for you and take them back to eat." Fang Nuo said, and pulled Auntie Dahua, I carried a basket under the eaves and headed to the backyard.
"Oh, I have this vegetable at home, so you can keep what you grow and eat it yourself," said Aunt Dahua.
"I can't eat much by myself, and it won't taste good even if it's left in the ground. Auntie, please help me. Let's go." Fang Nuo said, pulling him to the backyard.
After hearing what she said, Aunt Dahua stopped saying anything and followed her to the backyard. She saw a piece of vegetables she planted, and every one of them grew very well.
She really didn't expect that Fang Nuo, a girl from the city, was actually a good vegetable grower.
"Yeah, Xiao Nuo, you've grown these vegetables very well. It's so pleasing to see each one," said Aunt Dahua.
"I'm just planting here. Auntie, see what you like, and we'll pick more." Fang Nuo said, walking into the field, first picking some peppers and eggplants and putting them in the basket, and then picking all kinds of tomatoes. The harvest of these things has begun to be abundant recently, and she really can't eat them by herself.
She picked a lot of them and put them into the space. When she was making pickles later, she took out a piece to pickle them.
"That's enough, that's enough. You pick less. This thing is rare here. It can be eaten as fruit." Aunt Dahua saw that she had picked a lot of tomatoes and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"I have many of these. Auntie, if you like to eat, pick more. When you're done eating, pick more," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"I see you have planted many kinds, hey... these are still green, why did you pick them all?" Auntie Dahua said and saw that she had picked all the ones that were still green, so she hurriedly said.
"Auntie, that's what this variety is like. Even though it's still green, it's already mature inside. This variety is called a thief but not a steal. Just because it's mature and still green, I think it's not ripe," Fang Nuo explained with a smile.
"There is such a variety, then you can leave some seeds for me this year, and I will plant some next year." When Aunt Dahua heard this, she thought this thing was really strange, so she asked her to leave some seeds, and she will plant some next year too. .
"Sure, then I'll save the seeds and send them to you." Fang Nuo doesn't know whether artificial seed saving will be successful next year, but for now he can only agree and wait until next year to raise more seedlings. If it didn't come out, she would give it to the seedlings.
Later, I got some vegetables and some baby pumpkins for Aunt Dahua, and told her how to eat them.
Aunt Dahua saw that the basket was already full, and when she saw Fang Nuo's child looking for melons and vines in the corner, she hurriedly said: "Xiao Nuo, these are enough. If you pick any more, I will be embarrassed to take them back." "
"Auntie, I just want to see if the melons here have been picked. You can take this thing back and eat it as fruit to quench your thirst. If you don't want to eat it," Fang Nuo said, having already picked several melons in his arms.
After picking six or seven melons, she picked a large watermelon, then carried it back to the front yard, took another basket, filled it with fruits, and handed it to Aunt Dahua.
"Auntie, I have a lot of these growing on the wall of my house. If you don't eat them when they are ripe, they will go bad in a few days. I don't have much good stuff here. You and your uncle have helped me so much, so I only give you some. It’s vegetables and fruits, I’m afraid you might think it’s worthless,” Fang Nuo said.
"You kid, I've told you that, my aunt also thinks you are a good person, so she treats you as a junior in the family, and she should help you a little. You keep saying thank you every day, and you always say I'm sorry. Besides, these things of yours are worthless and you can't do business privately now. Otherwise, if you take them to the city, you will have to pay more than ten yuan to buy them," said Aunt Dahua.
Fang Nuo actually doesn't want to say thank you every day, but she can't help it. This family has helped her a lot, and she can't come up with anything good as a thank you gift at the moment. She always feels that she owes others. .
"Okay, I'll just accept the things. I'll come over to help them when they come to work tomorrow. Seeing that you have a lot of vegetables here, I won't worry about it," said Aunt Dahua.
"Then I'll send my sister-in-law back. These things are not light," Fang Nuo said.
"No, you don't feel at ease when Yaya is alone at home. I can just take the things back by myself." Aunt Dahua refused.
