"Girl Jinfeng, these..." Grandma Zhang's voice was a little choked.
"Grandma Zhang, I won't hide it from you. These grains were exchanged with people at the night market. It's not something that can be made public. I just want you to keep it a secret and not tell anyone. It's best not to tell even Xiaobao." Li Jinfeng said.
"I know, I know..." Grandma Zhang kept saying it desperately, and before she knew it, she was already in tears.
These days, it's not easy for anyone. Even getting a bite to eat is hard. The fact that Jin Feng gave her so much was like saving her life and that of her grandson, Xiao Bao, once again.
She would never spread rumors about Jin Feng giving her food and harm her.
"Grandma, are you going to put these things in the rice jar, or..."
"No, not the rice jar." As she said that, she quickly walked to the earthen kang where she slept, pulled out the firewood in the kang, and then dug out a few earthen bricks from it. The inside was empty, with a medium-sized hole.
She took out a few cloth bags from the house, put a little bit of food in each bag, and stuffed the food in little by little.
Li Jinfeng was bewildered, and she also had a taste of Grandma Zhang's ability to hide things.
She even wondered if there were other treasures hidden under the ground she was stepping on, to prevent those people from searching.
Speaking of treasures, Li Jinfeng thought of the old objects and antiques that were destroyed due to improper human disposal and management.
Even many years later, she heard that many people regretted the objects that were smashed.
Li Jinfeng also felt sorry. She was even thinking about whether she should use those old items in exchange when doing business with others in the future. Every piece she saved would count.
"Grandma Zhang, it's getting late. I'm going back first!" Li Jinfeng said goodbye to Grandma Zhang.
Grandma Zhang looked disappointed. She hadn't expected that Li Jinfeng would leave soon. Usually, she was alone at home and had no one to talk to.
"Girl Jinfeng, wait for me for a moment. I'll pick some vegetables for you." Grandma Zhang said as she walked outside.
"No, no need, I have vegetables at home." Li Jinfeng quickly stopped him.
She has no shortage of vegetables and other things in her space.
But so far, she hasn't used it.
"What you have at home is not as good as what an old woman like me grows. Even the team leader said that I, an old woman, grow the best vegetables in the whole team. If I wasn't afraid that my vegetable garden would be stolen, I would have listened to the team leader and helped the production team grow vegetables!"
The little old lady said this with a smug smile on her face.
Seeing that she couldn't stop the old lady, Li Jinfeng let her go.
In a short while, the old lady picked a basket of cucumbers, eggplants and cabbages.
Afraid that Li Jinfeng might not have enough and wanted to pick more, Li Jinfeng quickly stopped her, "Grandma Zhang, don't pick any more. We can save these vegetables to exchange for food!"
"It's okay. In the past, selling a basket of vegetables like this wouldn't even be enough to feed Xiaobao and me for a few days. Rather than letting outsiders take advantage, I'd rather give it to you, Jinfeng. This old woman would be very happy."
Grandma Zhang said this with a happy look on her face.
From her words, she even treated Li Jinfeng as her own family.
"That's not necessary. It would be a waste if you picked so many and couldn't eat them all. It would be better to let them grow well in the vegetable garden, don't you think?" Li Jinfeng coaxed gently.
The old lady gave up and said, "Okay, okay, then when you finish eating, come back to me, an old lady, to pick some."
