Chapter 47 Exchange
Zhao Hui spent the whole afternoon planting the sweet potato seedlings, watered them thoroughly, and then looked at the sweet potato seedlings with burning eyes, as if he saw a lot of food in front of him.

But looking at it, he felt that the sweet potato seedlings seemed a little small. If he could grow more, would he be able to harvest more sweet potatoes in autumn, so that he would not be short of food anymore?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hui wanted to go to the little girl's house again and ask for some sweet potato seedlings, but he didn't know if she would still give them.

But whether to give it or not, he wants to give it a try. If someone is willing to give it to him, he will naturally be grateful. If he refuses to give it, he will definitely not force it.

He has been wandering around since the drought in spring, and he is almost clear about the situation here. If someone is willing to give some food and sweet potato seedlings, that is his benefactor. He is not so shameless. Feeling resentful.

He has heard the word "repaying with kindness".

So, when Shen Yuxiu opened the courtyard door early the next morning, he was suddenly taken aback by Zhao Hui who was squatting in front of his house.

Zhao Huitian came here when it was just dawn, and not long after he arrived, when he saw the little girl from yesterday came to open the door, he immediately grinned and handed her a handful of wild vegetables in front of her.

"Can I use these wild vegetables to exchange some sweet potato seedlings?" Zhao Hui said in a low voice, a little guilty.

He finally found this by the river after planting sweet potato seedlings yesterday. He was not willing to eat any of them. He washed them in the river and brought them here. He thought it would be better to exchange wild vegetables for sweet potato seedlings than nothing. Wouldn't it be better to bring them directly to others?
Shen Yuxiu looked at the few wild vegetables in his hand in surprise, blinked, and was about to say something when Fang Youshun asked her: "Who is it?"

"Ah? It's a little brother I met yesterday." Shen Yuxiu turned her head to Fang Youshun who stopped in the yard and looked over here, and said to Zhao Hui, "Come with me."

After speaking, Shen Yuxiu turned back and walked towards the yard, came to Fang Youshun who was still holding a broom, and talked about what happened yesterday, and then said what Zhao Hui said just now.

When Fang Youshun heard that he was here to ask for sweet potato seedlings, he immediately became interested.

To be honest, when he met someone who came to his door, he would always pick a handful of sweet potato seedlings for them, but not many people really showed interest in sweet potato seedlings, let alone came to the door to ask for more.

"Do you still want sweet potato seedlings? How much do you want? Just yours, or do you want others?" Fang Youshun looked at the boy in front of him who was obviously a few years older than Shen Yuxiu, and asked kindly.

Zhao Hui hadn't been spoken to with such a good attitude for a long time. He stuttered for a while, then smiled a little stiffly, and replied, "I planted it, and I planted it. There is no one else."

"You?" Fang Youshun looked him up and down in surprise: "Do you know how?"

"Yesterday, this sister told me how to plant it." Zhao Huisheng was afraid that he would not believe it, so he quickly pointed to Shen Yuxiu who was still standing aside, and assured him: "I planted all the ones I brought back yesterday. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it.

"Yes, I told him how to grow it yesterday, and I remember everything my grandpa said." Shen Yuxiu nodded, indicating that this person did not lie.

Sometimes she also watched my grandfather planting sweet potato seedlings, and generally remembered a lot.

"As long as you remember that, what's the use?" Fang Youshun said with a smile, and then led Zhao Hui to the sweet potato ridge in the yard, while bending down to pick from the long sweet potato vines neatly. In the next paragraph, I told him the precautions for planting in detail.

Fang Youshun never suspected that Zhao Hui was lying. After all, this kid looked eleven or twelve years old, and he didn't look like an ignorant person. What's more, he could say that he took him to see the sweet potato seedlings he planted, so he must be sincere. If he doesn't, then he has nothing to teach him.

And Zhao Hui didn't speak, just quietly observed how Fang Youshun pinched the sweet potato vines, while earnestly writing down these precautions in his heart.

Seeing that he had nothing to do here, Shen Yuxiu turned back and walked into the house.

In the room, Shen Yulin was washing his face. Seeing her come in and ask what was going on, Shen Yuxiu told him what happened yesterday morning, which made Shen Yulin feel guilty.

Fortunately, grandma and grandpa didn't know that he left early yesterday, and Shen Yuxiu met the boy alone. If they knew about it, they would definitely be punished again.

In the yard, Fang Youshun spoke carefully, and Zhao Hui listened carefully. After Fang Youshun had pinched down all the vines that could be pinched in the yard, there was already a large bundle.

"I don't know how much your private land is, but these are enough to plant a few ridges. If you take care of it, you should be able to pick up a lot of sweet potatoes in autumn." Fang Youshun took a straw rope, and tied it up for him, non-stop talking.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Hui could not help but smile on his lips, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him: "Thank you, Grandpa, for teaching me this."

These farming knowledge were never taught to him by his parents. He was very grateful that Fang Youshun took the trouble to tell him this.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Fang Youshun pulled him up, just in time to see that Grandma Fang had started to set meals, so he asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

Of course Zhao Hui also saw the scene of the meal being served there, subconsciously looked away quickly, lowered his head and whispered, "I, I'm not hungry."

"There is no one who is not hungry. Come here and wash your hands and eat something together. There is nothing delicious at my house, just sticky porridge and steamed buns, as long as you don't mind." Fang Youshun said and dragged him to wash his hands together.

He can also see that this child has a sense of shame and is self-reliant, so he is very willing to help this child.

How could Zhao Hui dislike it? Since he ate the food given by the little girl yesterday, he hasn't eaten anything, even the few wild vegetables that he finally found, because he was thinking about whether he could exchange some sweet potatoes Yang didn't dare to eat it, his stomach had already started throbbing.

But even so, when he followed Fang Youshun to the table, he didn't dare to gobble it up. He just watched the porridge bowl in front of him and the cornbread in his hand, eating quietly, for fear of making any noise and making people disgusted.

Seeing him like this, Grandma Fang felt a little unbearable, so she took a chopstick to pickle pickles for him, and told him: "Don't just eat porridge and corn buns, but also eat some pickles, how can you have strength if you don't eat pickles?"

Zhao Hui looked at the suddenly extra pickles in the bowl, couldn't help but feel hot, and quickly thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, grandma."

As long as he can remember, his parents don't care if he is full, especially in the past two years, he often finds food for himself when he is very hungry, and his family always eats at the dinner table. Yes, sometimes his younger brother would directly rob him of his share in order to have an extra bite. This was the first time he encountered such a scene of being taken care of by others in his life.

Zhao Hui felt as if something was blocked in his heart, and there was an indescribable feeling of swelling, which made him want to cry, but he was afraid of being seen as a joke, so he could only lower his head even more. low.

Seeing him like this, Grandma Fang thought that he was embarrassed to eat by herself, so she didn't say anything, and ate her own meal.

Shen Yulin looked at Zhao Hui whose head was about to drop under the table, and clicked his tongue twice speechlessly.

How can I eat like this?Don't eat it in your nose, okay?

Shen Yuxiu didn't think much about it, and didn't even look at Zhao Hui a few times while eating.

In her opinion, this is a stranger and has nothing to do with her, so there is no need to pay special attention to it.

However, she didn't know that it was this person who would add a lot of color to her life in the future and almost cost her life.
