327, is to go or stay

The fuzzy aunt's voice is really not a big hit. She opens her mouth casually and looks like she is holding a large speaker. Aunt Gui has to raise her voice and talk to her. The two of them say one by one, and they are both quarrels and songs. As they talk, they are in a mood, and they are about to overturn the roof.

Aunt Mihu banged and said, "I have to pull the black bald man back and give us an explanation!"

Although Aunt Gui was also angry, she still poured a basin of cold water at the right time: "I have no hair on my head, why are you pulling him?"

Aunt Mihu was stunned for a moment. Realizing that this was a technical problem, she gritted her teeth and said, "I wish I could tear off his head!"

Several girls twitched their lips as they heard this.

"Your family has grown very few this year. I have planted sweet potatoes in all the six acres of land! They are all sweet potato seedlings bought from Hei Bazi!" Aunt Mihu almost broke the Youqing beside her with a throat blow.

After listening to it for a while, she probably understood what the two of them said: A man named Hei Bazi in the village specializes in selling crops and planting seedlings. Last year, their family grew a large number of sweet potatoes by themselves, and because they were rare and delicious, they made a lot of money. This year, the villagers asked him to buy sweet potato seedlings. After buying them, they realized that the sweet potato seedlings sold in the town were much cheaper than the ones he sold. This is not counting. After harvesting, they realized that what he sold to the villagers were all sweet potatoes, and only he grew their own sweet potatoes with a sweet taste. Because the sweet potatoes are sweet and rare, the price after harvest is two or three times higher than that of sweet potatoes.

The villagers were naturally angry, especially the Mihuo Aunt who planted all the six acres of land with sweet potatoes, was even more angry at this time.

"Have you harvested the sweet potatoes at this time? I remember it will be more than a month later?" Ruicai knew a lot about farming.

"A small batch of early-planted potatoes are now ripe. At noon, some sweet potatoes are coming to order," said the aunt Mifu's tone. "Our white-filled sweet potatoes are at most two cents per pound, but the sweet potatoes from the Black Badzi family can be given seven or eight cents! His wife kept saying that she was all for the villagers. She didn't know if the sweet potatoes could be harvested. For the sake of safety, she should plant sweet potatoes for everyone first, and then plant sweet potatoes together next year."

Aunt Gui snorted coldly: "Since they have such a good idea, why don't they discuss it with everyone? It can be seen that they are hiding traitors and want our sweet potatoes to increase the price of their sweet potatoes! When we grow sweet potatoes next year, their family may have some purple potatoes coming!"

Several girls were amused by the purple sweet potato statement, but they didn't laugh, and sighed in their hearts that Aunt Gui's foresight.

Xiaoxiao couldn't guarantee how long he could stay in Dawangzhuang. He didn't know if he could do many things himself, so he instructed his two aunts on the side: "Sweet potatoes also have the advantages of sweet potatoes. Although they are not as sweet as sweet potatoes, they have less moisture and produce more starch."

Aunt Gui sighed: "So many sweet potatoes, they naturally cannot sell them fresh. They can only be dried into dried sweet potatoes or ground into powder."

Ruicai said on the side: "I see that in our fields, except for sweet potatoes, there are corn. Potatoes are very popular in Kyoto this year..."

"What is potato?" This new term is very unfamiliar to Aunt Gui.

Dan Tai Furong smiled and said, "The potatoes are round and look like bells. They taste delicious and can cook. When we return to Kyoto, we can send people to the village to send some potato seedlings. I heard that the thing produces very high."

"Okay, okay! Don't forget!" Both women were very happy when they heard this. Although the sweet potatoes were a foregone conclusion, they did not lose money. At this moment, the female students from Kyoto pointed out, and they were naturally happy.

"Black bald man is so stupid!" Aunt Miu couldn't help but curse again, "I'm using fake cotton to lie to you this year!"

Aunt Gui's expression darkened: "It's not considered fake cotton, it's just not as warm and solid as our serious cotton."

Fake cotton? Inappropriate cotton?

Xiaoxiao's curiosity is always the most prosperous: "What fake cotton?"

"It is said that the cotton from the south is softer than the cotton here and the yield is higher. Who knows how many people from other villages pass by us this summer, saying that these are all fake cotton, which is much worse than our local cotton, and they are not even as good as grass cotton!" Aunt Gui mentioned these things and thumped her heart. "I want to pull out these other species, but I can't bear to leave it. Although the cloth weaving is not strong, it can be used at least!"

Xiaoxiao thought for a long time but didn't know what fake cotton Aunt Gui said was: "When I have time, my aunt will take me to the field to see the fake cotton!"

"You'd better lie down and rest. After a while, I'll pull one from the ground to show you. It's not worth much money anyway." Aunt Gui sighed.

Aunt Mihu said, "Some people say that I saw the black bald man going to the market today. Let's go to his house to catch him!"

"Let's go, pull him to death!" The two of them hit it off, rolled up their sleeves and went out to Nijie to raise their eyebrows, and didn't know what kind of martial arts they used to pull a bald man to death.

Soon there were students outside the door who came to be a game, and a few people from the group went out to greet him.

There were only two left in the house, Xiaoxiao and Xizi, who were about to put away the dishes and chopsticks that had finished eating the noodles.

The room was quiet for a moment, and after two or three days, it was rare to find a moment of peace and quiet. Although I was busy every day, I felt that life was very slow. At that time, I was like a ripple band, pulling it very long and tightly.

"As of the afternoon tomorrow, the group that saved the most money will be selected. In my opinion, we will win this time." Xizi analyzed while cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks on the kang table.

Xiaoxiao looked at Xizi's clothes, although she was not very clumsy, but she was not clumsy. She felt that the past few days of training in the countryside has made everyone in the group improve a lot, especially Dan Tai Furong and Xizi.

"Our most powerful competitor should be the group of seniors who opened the clinic. It is said that many patients who have been treated have sent silver and gifts to thank them." Xiaoxiao said that in the short term, the income of the school is far worse than that of the clinic. Especially when the villagers heard that the goddess doctor had only stayed here for three days, they flocked to it. Some people came here for dozens of miles just to find a prescription for the miracle doctor.

When Xizi heard this, he burst into laughter: "Today, a senior sister from Xieying Hospital has come to us as a person."

"Oh? What can they be?" They are not short of money.

"So many sweet potatoes on a hill."

“Yo…”

"It is said that acupuncture relieved a patient's head-on wind. The patient's house brought several sacks of sweet potatoes!" Xizi said and laughed again.

"Sweet potato or sweet potato?" Xiaoxiao asked seriously.

"Of course it's sweet potatoes!" Xizi said with a smile, "That senior sister asked her to bid, and she didn't ask for much money to make. She just didn't want these sweet potatoes to be ruined in vain. At least we can find ways to cook some dishes."

"It seems like I have to think of some solutions." A few ideas flashed through Xiaoxiao's mind, but he couldn't determine the feasibility. "We will steam some sweet potatoes tonight and try them first."

Xizi nodded, looked at the watery eyes and smiled: "I remember you said that the mountain leader cannot let us stay here for only three days."

Seeing Xizi's words appearing, Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "It seems that you miss home."

Xizi did not answer positively: "Since the mountain master has said that it is impossible to force everyone to stay. In my opinion, it should be voluntarily coming and going in three days."

Xizi's analysis was very reasonable. It seemed that she had carefully pondered this issue.

Xiaoxiao understood that Xizi was testing his attitude, so she stopped asking her, but instead said her thoughts directly: "I want to stay."

Since Xizi asked this, he had not made up his mind yet.

Xiaoxiao admitted: "This village is attractive to me, and I can't explain the reason. It is because I can't figure it out that I want to stay and find out."

Xizi looked at the simple house and sighed, "I still feel that life is a bit hard, and I can still endure it in three days. If I have another twenty-day period for another month and twenty days, I am afraid I can't hold on."

"That's fine. I'd like to stay." Xiaoxiao changed his position and sat there warmly, feeling like he was sitting here with a quilt, drinking brown sugar water and eating eggs, just like a confinement period...

"I mainly don't want to leave you and Ruicai. I guess Ruicai must stay. What's the fun of returning to Kyoto alone?" Nishiko thought of this and sat down listlessly by the kang.

Xiaoxiao patted her hand: "I can't bear to leave anyone. Our group is so united that it is beyond my expectations. It would be great if everyone could persevere together." Including the classmate Youqing who has a low presence like an invisible person.

Xizi looked at Xiaoxiao's slightly pale face: "You should go home and raise it for a few days when you come to Guishui. These things are unscathing."

Hearing this tone, Xiaoxiao felt like he was in confinement: "We eat well here, we wear warm clothes, and the living conditions have improved a lot. I am not so cute."

Xizi didn't say anything anymore, just left a sentence: "If you leave, I will leave, and if you stay, I will stay." As he said that, he packed up the dishes and left the house.

Only Xiaoxiao sat alone on the kang: Among the three friends, Xizi is relatively soft-hearted and lacks decisiveness in certain things, so he made such a statement.

Especially after experiencing the rose feast, Xiaoxiao could feel some dependence on Xizi.

But just now, Xiaoxiao felt strongly that Nishiko wanted to leave here and return to Kyoto.

Are you homesick? Not exactly.
