Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Fuck a few sweet potatoes at a time...
Seeing Qin Run and Qin An arrive, the two elderly people were overjoyed. Grandma Fang walked to the gate with her cane, smiling kindly, revealing the few remaining teeth in her mouth. "Oh, Run'er and An'er are here. Come on in! It's been a while since you last saw me. How's the corn harvest going? Are you able to handle it? If not, tell me."
The old lady was inevitably a bit long-winded when she spoke. It was a rare occasion to see Qin Run coming over. Grandma Fang was very excited and did not forget to ask about the autumn harvest, fearing that Qin Run would be too busy and the crops in the fields would be delayed.
Qin Run felt the old man's warmth and concern, and smiled sincerely. "Grandma Fang, the corn in the field is almost harvested. There's still a little left. Are you and Grandpa Fang the only ones home?"
The Fang family's house is not big, with only a few thatched houses. Grandma Fang, who has worked hard for most of her life, has cultivated the yard into rows of land for growing vegetables.
The vegetables grown by the two old people are good. If they can’t finish eating them, they can take them to the town to sell, so the vegetables in their vegetable garden are well taken care of.
Seeing Qin Run coming, Grandpa Fang grabbed a handful of freshly picked vegetables and said with a smile, "They're all busy. Your Uncle Fang took Fang Yi and Fang Er to the town to find work, and your Aunt Fang took Fang San to collect firewood. We're just preparing to cook and waiting for them to come back. Run'er, come and have dinner with Grandpa later."
With that, Grandpa Fang turned back and prepared to pick some more vegetables.
"No need," Qin Run hurriedly stopped him, "We came here after dinner."
Qin An, holding the buns, nodded and agreed with his eldest brother, "Yes, Grandpa Fang, my brother and I have already eaten."
Usually at this time, people working in the fields have just returned home, and Qin Run and the others have already eaten?
Grandma Fang didn't believe it, "Did you really eat it?"
"Really, Grandma Fang, I came here to look for Uncle Fang." Qin Run quickly changed the subject and helped Grandma Fang into the house, "Yun Fan..."
Qin Run blushed, fearing that Grandma Fang wouldn't know who she was. "My husband said there's too much work to do in the fields, and we can't handle it alone, so he wants me to hire a few people to help."
As for Xu Yunfan's affairs, everyone was from the same village. Even though Grandma Fang's home was a little far away, Grandma Fang and her family still heard a few words about these lively topics that were widely discussed.
"Your husband? Oh, I remember." When Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang first heard Qin Run mention husband, they couldn't react. After all, they hadn't set up the wedding banquet yet.
When it comes to Xu Yunfan, Grandma Fang suddenly has endless questions to ask and endless worries to worry about.
Grandma Fang and the others knew exactly how Xu Yunfan came here.
I heard that the young man is very handsome and good-looking.
Look at Qin Run again...
Even if you think your own children are the best, sometimes the facts are just that.
So, Grandma Fang was worried. She grabbed Qin Run's hand and said, "Run'er, tell me the truth. How did Xu treat you? Did he bully you? Did he look down on you?"
"Is he good to you? Is he easy to talk to? If he were a big shot, we wouldn't want him!"
"Also, if you're too busy with the work in the fields, just tell your uncle Fang and the others that they're free anyway. Don't be shy about asking, okay?"
Qin Run listened to these words of concern and cherishment for him, and his heart warmed. His eyes reddened slightly, and he gently patted the back of Grandma Fang's hand, "Grandma Fang, Yunfan treats me very well. He helps me work in the fields and gives me the money he earns. He's a very good person. You don't have to worry about me not having a good life and being bullied by him."
Qin An sat aside, holding the basket tightly in his hand, "Brother is right, Brother-in-law is very good, Grandma Fang, I like Brother-in-law very much."
Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang were a little surprised to hear Qin An suddenly say so much.
In the past, when they went to Xiao Qin's house, Qin An was always very quiet. He was the kind of person who couldn't fart for a long time. He was very quiet. No matter what they asked him, this child would lower his head and respond with a soft "hmm" or "uh". When had he ever said so much in one breath?
Now that Qin An has said so much, he is actually speaking well of Xu Yunfan. He is saying all good things about Xu Yunfan. Doesn't this surprise Grandma Fang and the others?
From this we can see that Xu Yunfan is indeed a good person. Otherwise, Qin An, who is usually taciturn and is rumored to be a fool by outsiders, would not be like this.
"Grandma Fang, look, this is what my brother-in-law asked us to bring." In order to verify that my brother-in-law was really a good person and what he said was true, Qin An stood up and put the vegetable basket on the table, lifted the large plate covering it, revealing four white meat buns inside.
After seeing what was in the basket, Grandma Fang exclaimed, "You came here, but why did you bring this? Meat buns are so precious. You can take them back and eat them. It's busy farming season now, and you're tired from working. Eat more good food to replenish your body so you have the strength to work. Why are you giving this to two old men like us? It's such a waste."
In Grandma Fang's opinion, they are old and cannot do any heavy work. They rely entirely on their children and grandchildren for support. There is no need for them to eat such good food. It is a pure waste.
Besides, no matter what the situation is with Xiao Qin’s family, they cannot accept such expensive meat buns.
If Xu Yunfan knew what Grandma Fang thought, he would be speechless.
What does it mean that the elderly can’t do heavy work and eating good food is a waste?
Isn't this nonsense?
In Xu Yunfan's opinion, elderly people should eat more good and nutritious food. There is no such thing as waste.
Qin Run didn't like what Grandma Fang said, and frowned slightly, "Grandma Fang, how can you say that if you eat it, it's a waste, but if we eat it, it's not a waste?"
"How can it be the same? You young people have to work, and we are old and can't work anymore. It would be a waste to eat it."
"That's not the case," Qin Run retorted, "If Grandma Fang said that only those who work can eat so well, then those children don't need to eat so well. But they eat the best. So it's not like what you said, Grandma Fang. You worked hard all your life to raise Uncle Fang and the others, and worked hard for this family all your life. Now that you are old and can no longer work, it is time to enjoy your retirement and the blessings of your children and grandchildren. How can it be a waste to eat something good?"
Grandpa Fang agreed with Qin Run's statement, "You old woman just can't speak. Look at what nonsense you are talking about. You are still the governor of Run."
Noticing that Qin Run seemed a little sad, Grandma Fang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it was Grandma who said the wrong thing."
Qin Run took the opportunity to say, "So, please accept these buns. Although they are not many, please don't despise them."
"This..." Grandpa Fang was embarrassed. "This is too expensive. Run'er, we are already very happy that you came to visit grandpa and grandma. Bringing these here would be too awkward."
Qin Run spoke frankly, "I'm not being polite at all. This is what we bought when we went to town today. Yunfan bought a lot, and I haven't come to see you for a long time, so Yunfan asked me to bring it over for you to try."
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang had no choice but to accept it.
When they learned that Qin Run came to ask for work, they wanted to ask Fang the Hunter to help for two days and there was no need to charge him any wages.
Finally, Qin Runxian said, "Yunfan said that brothers should settle accounts clearly. If Uncle Fang didn't charge for his work, he would be embarrassed to ask Uncle Fang for help, so he had to go to town to ask other people, Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang. Uncle Fang works in town and helps my family, so why not let Uncle Fang earn the money?"
As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family.
There was no way out. Qin Run had already said so, and his reasoning was so convincing that the two old men could only agree. As for the wages, they asked Fang the Hunter to talk to Qin Run after he came back.
They finally realized that Qin Run was a man who knew how to talk.
The Fang family hadn't even eaten yet. After Qin Run explained his purpose, he didn't disturb the two old people while they were cooking and took Qin An back first.
After a round trip, even though they were from the same village, Xu Yunfan had already steamed the bread when he got home.
Qin Run ate half of it, but still felt it was not enough. He was embarrassed to take more, fearing that he had eaten too much and Xu Yunfan would dislike him, after all, he had just finished lunch.
Xu Yunfan doesn't think that a boy or a girl should eat less than a boy. No one has stipulated that a boy should eat less than a man.
Besides, aren't teenagers the age to eat? Xu Yunfan just doesn't like to eat much. If he does, he can finish five or six. I've never seen him eat five or six roasted sweet potatoes at a time.
This is just a small matter.
This year, Qin Run estimated that he would have to plant a few more acres of sweet potatoes to make enough for his production.
Xu Yunfan didn't say anything. He just took a piece of bread and stuffed it into Qin Run's hand, saying, "Eat."
Looking at the few pieces of bread in the pot, Qin Run was reluctant to finish them and wanted to save some. "Can I save some for tonight and tomorrow?"
There are only two left in the pot.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come with you and Ang'er. I can bring bread and three eggs to Ang'er and the others, so I won't let you have enough to eat. There's still a second pot."
Xu Yunfan pointed at the remaining small pieces of rolled dough and said, "I'll steam them now. Judging from the weather, they can only be kept until tomorrow at most. If you keep them any longer, they'll become sour. There's so much, you two brothers can eat it to your heart's content. Even if you finish them, we can just make more whenever you want. Why are you so reluctant to eat them?"
Qin Run was reluctant to finish all the delicious food at once, fearing that there would be nothing left to eat. It was really sad to see him.
Hearing this, Qin Run was extremely happy. After taking a bite of the bread, he seemed to have thought of something. He put down the bread in his mouth and ran to the woodshed to get out three sweet potatoes.
He and Qin An had delicious bread to eat, but Xu Yunfan didn't like it and he didn't know how to make anything else, so he could only roast sweet potatoes for Xu Yunfan.
It doesn't make sense that he and Qin An have candy and bread to eat, but Xu Yunfan has nothing.
Seeing the sweet potato in Qin Run's hand, Xu Yunfan didn't say anything. Anyway, he liked to eat it very much. Qin Run roasted it for him, so he ate it.
After he finished steaming the second pot of bread, Qin Run took out the remaining firewood and waited until the sparks were not so strong before throwing the sweet potatoes into the stove.
If the fire is too strong, the sweet potatoes will easily burn. Xu Yunfan has tried to bake them twice himself, but he lacks experience. Some parts of the sweet potatoes he baked were always burnt black by the scorching sparks and were completely inedible.
Needless to say, Qin Run's experience in roasting sweet potatoes is completely unmatched by Xu Yunfan.
He likes the sweet potatoes roasted by Qin Run, which are just perfect, with a slightly charred outer layer. When you take a bite, wow, they are so fragrant.
Xu Yunfan took the bread out of the disaster one by one, "Qin Run, where should we put the remaining bread?"
