"This is called watermelon, of course you can eat it." Gu Xi said, "Come, eat a slice."

Xiao Chengtu took a sip, his delicious eyes narrowed. "Dad, this is delicious, it's really delicious."

Gu Xi patted his head: "Take this half to Li Goudan's family, and this half to grandma." What he just cut was a big watermelon, and the red ones can be given away.A large watermelon weighs 8 catties, cut into four parts, give one half to Uncle Li’s family, and one quarter to Li Goudan’s family. Their chickens have always been digging earthworms by Li Goudan, and there is a corner missing A quarter of the money was given to Grandma Li.

"Hey, I'm going to deliver it now."

The watermelon that Gu Xi planted caused a great commotion at Uncle Li's and Grandma Li's.People of any age can't resist the temptation of watermelon.

However, whether Gu Xi was sending watermelons or vegetables, Second Uncle Li's family never asked where it came from or how it was grown, probably due to the simplicity of people in this era.

At noon the next day, Grandpa Li came to the door and brought ten catties of wheat coarse grains.Gu Xi was stewing the ribs, while Xiao Chengtu and the little fat man were playing.

"Still cooking?" Grandpa Li said as he entered the door with a sullen face and bright eyes.

"Grandpa." Gu Xi called out, "It'll be ready soon. I just finished eating pork ribs and potato soup. You can bring a bowl." As he spoke, he took a bowl to serve it.

Grandpa Li didn't refuse. To be honest, he didn't know where the little grandson got so much food, but he knew that the little grandson made good friends.The ones who come often are the officers of the nearby troops.As everyone has seen, Gu Xi often sends things to the officer, the officer often brings things over, and the younger brother of the officer's family often eats here.

Occasionally, the police from the county town would come, in uniform and on bicycles.

From everyone's point of view, whether it's an officer in the army or a policeman in the county, it's Gu Xi who has great skills and can make friends.So for the current Li Family Village, Gu Xi is the first person.

Grandpa Li's heart is complicated, he doesn't like this little grandson, and what he loves most in his heart is Li Aizhong, the eldest grandson.But he wouldn't say anything when Gu Xi asked Grandma Li to make underwear. After all, Zhang Ercui was dead. Apart from mother, sister, younger sister, daughter, and his own wife, the only ones who could make underwear for men were grandma and grandma, who would not be gossiped about.Even sister-in-laws, aunts, etc., making underwear for grown-up uncles and nephews is not very nice.

So in this matter, if Grandma Li made Gu Xi's underwear, he would not object.And Gu Xi is also really filial to Grandma Li, she said that she has meat for at least two meals a month, as well as brown sugar steamed buns, cabbage rolls, dumplings, stinky winter melon, and now there is such a sweet watermelon.Although his grandma ate it, he also had his share.

But he knew that their family had it, and so did Uncle Li's.

So his feelings towards Gu Xi were complicated.

Last night, Grandpa Li thought about it all night, and finally brought 10 catties of wheat coarse grains at noon.He also has no good things, only this one.

"Do you still have enough food recently?" Grandpa Li asked.

"Enough." Gu Xi also saw the bag he brought. Grandpa Li was polite, and of course he had a good temper. "My parents left some last year, and my sister and brother-in-law also brought some during the Chinese New Year, and my friend gave it to me." Some food stamps came, plus my monthly supply, enough to eat."

Even though he said so, these words poked Grandpa Li's heart again.It seems to be saying, I don't have enough to eat, but I have friends and sisters.

"It's not good to always take other people's things." Grandpa Li said, "There are ten catties of wheat and coarse grains here. If you don't have enough to eat by then, you can tell me, don't you have two days off in school? You can go to work Earn work points."

In the thinking of this generation, there is no need for rest days, and rest is uncomfortable.

"I know it in my heart, thank you grandpa." Gu Xi gave him the pork rib soup.

Grandpa Li also knew that he wouldn't listen to what he said, and the two of them were going to quarrel again after talking too much, so he left with ribs soup.After he left, they started eating. After the meal, Gu Xi cut another small watermelon, cut the watermelon meat into a bowl, and let the two little guys hold it with a spoon.

At the beginning of May, Da Zhizhi had not returned from his mission, so Gu Xi collected the second batch of watermelons, 5 of them.

In mid-May, Da Zhizhi had not returned from his mission, so Gu Xi collected the third batch of watermelons, 5 of them.

Gu Xi's family finished harvesting watermelons, but he was not very happy. It had been two and a half months, but he seemed to miss that big dog very much.Looking at the little fat man eating watermelon and playing with little Chengtu, he didn't miss his brother at all.

Gu Xi's family ran out of cabbage, so he planted cabbage in the 5 square meter vacated watermelon field.The harvest can be bumper before the People's Commune in August.When thinking of the People's Commune, Gu Xi felt that 8 square meters of cabbage was not enough, so he also harvested the 5 square meters of potatoes next to it. Anyway, the potatoes have reached maturity, that is, by the beginning of June, they may be bigger. a little.

With an area of ​​10 square meters, Gu Xi only harvested 45 catties.In addition to the original 5 square meters of watermelon field, Gu Xi dug 30 pits to grow cabbage.

Life seems to be getting tighter and tighter, food and vegetables are not as rich as Gu Xi thought.

Recently, Gu Xi took his two children to pick wild vegetables at noon.On weekends, he took Xiao Chengtu to pick wild vegetables.

Until one day at the end of May, Gu Xi, who had saved 15 catties of wild vegetables, took the little fat man aside: "Your brother hasn't come back from his mission yet."

"No...no." The little fat man shook his head, but his face was pale.

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes: "To be honest, I don't like children who don't tell the truth."

"I...I..." I have never seen such a serious Gu Xi, the little fat man's eyes turned red from fright, "My brother was injured and went to the hospital."

"County hospital?" Gu Xi's heart tightened.

The little fat man shook his head: "Capital Hospital."

Why is the injury so serious that it will be transferred to the Capital Hospital?

"How did your brother get hurt? Where did he get hurt?"

The little fat man shook his head: "I don't know, I really don't know." He is a carefree child, only seven years old, very innocent.

"Little 4, according to the original plot, what is Fan Xuezhi like?"

444 said: "Host, although the plot is viewed through God's vision, according to the original plot, Fan Xuezhi is not in the world of the original host and Li Aizhong, so he was not mentioned in the plot."

So, Gu Xi went to the county seat and asked about Zhang Jianjun's situation.

Zhang Jianjun said: "His mission this time is to replace someone else. Didn't he catch a spy's party camp a year ago? There were other teams to follow up, but that team was exposed after the year, and the problem was very serious. So they The team withdrew back, and the captain took a new team to deal with the aftermath. But the alertness of the secret agents was already there, and it was really difficult to follow up. So it took a long time for them to make progress until the end of April, but because a team member He was hit by the enemy's explosive package, and the captain had an accident to save him."

"How can such an important task be assigned impulsive team members? Isn't this harmful to others? As the captain, he should understand the character of the team members." Gu Xi frowned.

Zhang Jianjun was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Gu Xi knew a lot about this kind of thing. "That's not the captain's team member, but the team member from the previous team. After the captain and the others took over, they still need to know the situation, so the team member followed and reported the situation."

"Where did he get hurt? What's the problem?" Gu Xi stopped talking about this player.

"I injured my leg and had an operation. It was performed by a foreigner. Our domestic technology is not enough. But the operation was successful. I just need to recuperate for a year or two until the leg injury is completely healed, otherwise it will recur." Zhang Jianjun said, "However, the captain is going to the military academy in September, so it's time for him to recuperate."

"Well, is he still in the hospital?"

"It will take two months to leave the hospital." Zhang Jianjun said.

"Give me the hospital address."

"Are you going to see the captain? You've never been to the capital, okay?" It wasn't that he doubted it. After all, a countryman would always be a little afraid to go to the capital.

"No." Gu Xi said,

"Then why do you need an address?"

"Leave me alone."

"All right, all right, I'll give you the address, if you want to go, call me, I can ask for a leave of absence."

"Okay." Gu Xi left after taking the address, but knowing that Da Zhizhi was fine, he was also relieved.As for seeing him?talk later.

At the end of June, the students were on vacation. Because there was a two-month vacation, the little fat man was going to accompany his brother as a babysitter. Before leaving, the little fat man came to talk to his teacher Li.

Gu Xi couldn't leave. There were still 6 hens at home, and he was worried about entrusting others to take care of the eggs.And there is Xiaochengtu at home, but it is not convenient to take Xiaochengtu to the capital, the child is too young, and it will take two days on the train.On such a hot day, it is not convenient to take a bath.

That's why Gu Xi didn't go.

However, Gu Xi asked the fat man to bring the letter.

Moreover, his eggplant harvest was bumper. 5 square meters, a total of 112 pounds of eggplants.

Da Zhizhi, who was far away in the capital, received the letter from the little fat man. In fact, the little fat man had already opened the letter and read it, but because the little fat man knew only a few words, he couldn't understand it.So when he saw his brother's stiff expression after reading the letter, the fat man asked curiously, "Brother, what did Teacher Li write?"

Fan Xuezhi stared at him with a sullen face: "How did Mr. Li know about my injury? Didn't I tell you not to tell him?" He didn't want him to worry.

"But I'm a child, and Teacher Li attacked me. I'm afraid." The little fat man said, "Mr. Li said, if I don't tell him, he won't like me. Brother, you haven't gone for so long, and Teacher Li also Miss you."

The last sentence saved the little fat man. "He misses me?"

"Of course, I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss you a little bit, so Teacher Li also misses you." The little fat man really missed his brother.
