Not long after, an auntie came out of the main room. She looked to be in her 40s or 50s. Lu Wensheng was not shy and was the first to greet her: "Hello, Auntie Li. I am Lu Wensheng, a new educated youth. I am sorry to bother you."

Aunt Li was cooking with her daughter-in-law in the house when she was called out by her grandson. When she saw that it was a pretty little girl, she knew that it must be the new educated youth who had arrived today.

Before she could ask any questions, the little girl greeted them first. She didn't look down on them as country folk at all, so she smiled and said:

"It's Xiaolu Zhiqing. I heard our Erzhuzi mention you. So, have you eaten yet? Come in quickly. Your sister-in-law is cooking. Xiaolu Zhiqing, please stay and have some."

Lu Wensheng knew that the other party was being polite, so he said a few polite words: "Aunt, you are so polite. I have already had dinner, so I won't come in to disturb you.

It's like this, I see your vegetable garden is well maintained, I came here today to discuss with you whether I can buy vegetables from you. Of course, if you are worried, I can exchange them with food."

At this time, private transactions were prohibited. It was good that no one reported it, and everyone turned a blind eye. If someone reported it, it would be considered speculation and profiteering, and they would be paraded through the streets and criticized. That was why Lu Wensheng made the following suggestion.

Although Aunt Li's family is small, they grow a lot of vegetables. A few days ago, she was still worried about how to eat them. Today, this young educated youth Xiaolu came to her house, which solved a big problem.

In her opinion, it was not a waste if it was eaten or drunk, but she would be really sad if it rotted in the field, so she quickly said:

"Xiaolu, the educated youth, you can eat as much of the vegetables that Auntie grows as you want. Why mention money? Isn't that being polite?"

OK, I heard that Aunt Li wants to buy it with money.

But it was not appropriate to talk about this outside, so Lu Wensheng stepped forward, took Aunt Li's arm, and walked towards the vegetable garden while launching her sugar-coated bullet:

"Auntie, that won't do. You worked so hard to grow these vegetables, so I can't eat them for free. Besides, I don't just eat them once or twice a day.

Auntie, to be honest, I am cooking alone now. The vegetables they ordered are not enough for themselves, and I can't be so shameless as to pick them, right? I don't know how to grow them.

Besides, the vegetables in your house are so good because you took great pains to take care of them. How about this, if you really care about me, you can give me a slightly lower price, okay?"

Lu Wensheng really tried to persuade the man with both emotion and courtesy, the last thing he did was to throw a tantrum and act like a good child.

Although Aunt Li looked embarrassed, she felt relieved in her heart. She nodded secretly. This Lu Zhiqing looked good and spoke well. He made her confused.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Aunt Li thought for a moment and continued, "It's not a valuable thing. Just give me fifty cents a month. When you want to eat vegetables in the future, come to me to pick them. If you don't have time, I'll ask your brother Erzhu to bring them to you.

I dare not say anything else, but my aunt’s vegetable-growing skills are top-notch in the whole village. Every spring when it’s time to grow vegetable seedlings, the whole village comes to me to exchange them.”

"That aunt is so awesome!" Lu Wensheng's flattery always keeps up.

It turns out that when Aunt Li was still a girl, her father was a famous farmer in the village. Every year, the father and daughter would grow seedlings and go to the town to exchange for money to supplement the family income. However, in recent years, policies have not allowed this, so Aunt Li can only grow vegetables at home. As a result, the area in front of and behind the house has become a vegetable garden.

Lu Wensheng was shocked by the price. Is it so cheap? Thinking of the two thin shallots and a bunch of green vegetables she bought today for 10 cents...! He immediately took out 60 cents and gave it to Aunt Li, saying, "Aunt, five doesn't sound good, six sounds good, six is ​​auspicious, six cents is fine!"

Before Aunt Li could refuse, the little grandson of the Li family ran out and called his grandmother to eat.

"Come here, Gouwa."

Aunt Li waved her grandson forward and introduced him, "This is my oldest grandson, Gou Wa. If I pick some vegetables in the future, I'll ask him to bring them to you. He's close anyway."

Lu Wensheng touched Gou Wa's head and praised:

"So nice"

He took out a few candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the puppy's pocket, then nodded at Aunt Li:

"Okay, thank you, auntie. Please go home and have dinner. I won't bother you anymore."

She had to take this opportunity to go to the mountain to collect some firewood for cooking tomorrow.

Aunt Li didn't bother to be polite with her and happily took the child back.

"This young educated youth is a man who knows how to get things done."

After hearing the voice, Lu said goodbye to Aunt Li, found a deserted place, took out a backpack from the space, and went up the mountain. It was almost dark, so she had to go and come back quickly.

She was not familiar with the village, so she picked up some dead branches and leaves at the foot of the mountain, put them in a backpack and carried them back to the educated youth point, just enough for tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning she planned to go deep into the mountains to have a look. It is said that the mountains in the northeast are full of treasures, not to mention the precious ginseng and deer antlers, she said she was very greedy for mushrooms and wild game.

As soon as she arrived at the educated youth point, she heard Lu Hao calling her happily:

"Sister Lu, I bought you the melon."

"Huh? What melon?" Lu Wensheng was puzzled.

"Watermelon, didn't you ask me to pack your watermelon?" Lu Hao scratched his head.

Lu Wensheng: Sweat! Gods and Buddhas everywhere, who can take this fool away!

"This melon is not that melon."

Seeing his puzzled look, I had to patiently explain:

"Eating melons" is used to express a state of not caring about something, not expressing opinions, and just watching. Ordinary onlookers often jokingly call themselves "melon-eating masses." And "melon" refers to a hot gossip event.

Do you understand?"

Lu Hao seemed to understand...

But this did not affect his desire to treat his sister Lu to watermelon: "Well, it's almost time. So go eat the watermelon first, I'll wait for you."

Lu Wensheng: ...

When she went into the small kitchen, put down the firewood, washed her face and went into the west wing. When she came in, the remaining four people were already sitting and waiting for her. Suddenly, a sentence popped into her mind: Sit in a row and eat fruit...

Emma, ​​can't think about it, can't think about it.

Lu Wensheng came into the room, wiped his hands, and sat down at the table. When Lu Hao saw that everyone was present, he began to cut the watermelon. The moment the tip of the knife touched the watermelon, there was a "bang" sound, and the whole room was filled with the sweet fragrance of watermelon. Everyone got a piece and started eating.

Ma Yingjie: "Wow! It's still sandy!"

Shen Lingling: "Mmm, this watermelon is really sweet."

Han Muchen: "It's really good."

Bai Qian: "Tsk, it's just a piece of melon, don't you think anyone has eaten it before? A bunch of country bumpkins."

Lu Wensheng looked at Lu Hao with a half-smile, and his meaning was very clear: Can't you pay it back?

Lu Hao has a hot temper. He has been hanging out with Lu Wensheng a lot these days and has learned all of Lu Wensheng's fierceness. It's time to test the results!
