The two ate and shopped in the county town, walked around, and returned to the village after six o'clock in the evening.

They packed their lunch and came back, so they didn't have to cook at night, they just fried a vegetable to eat.

The old man touched and touched the leather shoes in his arms, and said all the way: "It's really too expensive. How can I spend so much money to buy a pair of shoes? I bought a pair of big cotton shoes, and they don't even cost eighty."

Zhao Danshi smiled and said nothing, leaving him to chatter.

The old man kept talking, but he couldn't help the joy in the corners of his brows and eyes. When he came back all the way, many people noticed the shoe box in his arms and asked him what it was. He raised his voice and answered loudly. , Said it was the shoes that the grandson bought for himself.

Zhao Shanshi was afraid that he would not be willing to wear them, so he specially cut off the trademark when he came back, and told the old man that the shoes would get wet easily if he didn't wear them, and they would break faster.

There are no recreational activities in the village, everyone goes to bed early, and there are no lights in the whole village after eight o'clock. Similarly, everyone wakes up early, and many people are already working outside after six o'clock in the morning.

After Zhao Shanshi came back, he went to the field to help the old man finish all the recent work, such as watering, fertilizing, and weeding. He was not skilled in these tasks, but he was very patient and completed them well.

One day, while he was picking peppers, the voice of Watchman sounded in his mind again, "These peppers contain a lot of biological energy."

Zhao Danshi glanced at the chili bucket under his feet, and asked casually, "How many are there?"

"There is about [-] bioenergy in one kilogram. Don't look at the small number, but compared with the peppers in other places, the quality of the peppers here is already superior. The peppers you buy on the market are only about one kilogram. [-] bioenergy."

Zhao Danshi has the habit of cooking, and usually buys a la carte and stores it in the refrigerator. It is estimated that Watchman took the opportunity to scan the vegetables he bought.

Zhao Danshi's heart skipped a beat, "How much energy do you need to repair it?"

"Well, a conservative estimate, [-] bioenergy should be able to fix most of the problems."

Zhao Shanshi: "...Your needs are not low at all."

"Actually, it just looks tall." Overwatch encouraged him, "According to the feedback from my colleagues, some plane hosts don't even have enough to eat at the beginning, and it won't be a problem to earn tens of millions of biological energy after a few years. "

Zhao Danshi said: "The host is different from the host. I guess I don't have the ability to earn tens of millions of bio-energy every year. Or you can change the host? See if there is anyone who can quickly earn you [-] bio-energy for you. Repair the body."

Watchman immediately answered: "It's okay, I'm optimistic about you. By the way, can you give me a bucket of these peppers? Although the energy is a bit low, it will be used."

Zhao Danshi refused decisively, "Sorry, I can't."

The only cash crops that the old man grows are these peppers. Every market day, he picks peppers and sells them. A catty of peppers costs about two to three yuan. The price of peppers varies on each market day.

The old man planted more than two acres of peppers, and now every market can sell 3000 to [-] catties, and he can earn about [-] yuan a month.

The old man has been farming all his life, has no pension, and refuses to accept his son's money. The only source of income is the vegetables in the field and his life savings.

Zhao Danshi knew that the old man would not mind using these peppers for something else, but he didn't want to just give it to the Watchman.

The Overwatch didn't expect him to refuse so quickly, and said suspiciously: "Why? This chili is not a big deal to you."

"But it's a big deal for my grandfather. It's his property. I don't have the right to decide on his behalf whether to give you the chili pepper. Since all living things have energy, or I can cut it for you after I finish this work." Some weed?"

"No, it can't. The bioenergy of one kilogram of weeds is less than [-]. This bioenergy is too little for me, and it's not enough to cover the energy wasted by scanning."

Zhao Shanshi, "Then let me think of a way for you."

Watchman said: "Don't you still trust me?"

Zhao Danshi said seriously: "As an adult, trust is a very serious matter. Could it be that the hosts you met before would trust you once they met each other?"

Watchman was silent, as if the hosts his colleagues encountered were easy to deal with, not to mention that they believed it as soon as they met each other, at least there would be no major problems after the conversation.

Zhao Shanshi said: "Maybe in the future we will become partners, close friends, and life-and-death acquaintances, but I'm sorry, we can't do it now. You have too many secrets. I need time to get to know you and trust you."

Watchman thought for a while and said, "You're right."

Zhao Danshi smiled and continued picking peppers.

These small peppers are dotted, so be careful when picking the peppers, don't break the branches, and don't pick green peppers and leaves into them. If there are too many sundries, no dealer will accept them when they are transported to the market.

Picking peppers is a hard job. Some people sit on a chair and pick them. Many times, after picking peppers on an acre of land, their hands are about to cramp.

Picking peppers is a rush. If he went to the market the next morning, he would have to pick a batch this afternoon, and then get up at dawn tomorrow morning to pick another batch.

If you pick it off too early, the chili will easily rot at home under the action of respiration, and the price-cut sellers will not accept this kind of chili that is not of good quality.

Picking too late doesn’t work, and it’s easy to miss the market. When it’s time to disperse, the pepper sellers are all scattered. At this time, the only remaining pepper sellers will find excuses to lower the price.

Zhao Danshi picked peppers with the old man. After two days of picking, his hands were almost cramping. He couldn't imagine how hard it would be for the old man to work in the field all day long when he didn't come back.

It is not easy for farmers to earn money, but his grandfather has to work so hard day after day to earn this little living expenses.

Five days passed in a flash, and Zhao Dan knew he could go back to work.

The old man was very reluctant, and he couldn't delay his grandson's business. Before leaving, the old man stuffed things into his suitcase, including honey, dried bamboo shoots, dried vegetables, and dried peppers.

Zhao Danshi didn't bring a suitcase back with him. The old man was afraid that he would not be able to carry his things, and he was afraid that he would feel ashamed to carry a woven bag, so he went to the county town to buy a suitcase for him and came back.

Such a suitcase sells for more than 300 yuan, which is more expensive than the contents of the suitcase.

The old man asked Zhao Danshi to let him go back to work and take care of himself.

It was Zhao Liwei who was driving the tricycle. When Zhao Liwei saw Zhao Shanshi, he comforted the old man and said, "It's okay. The Chinese New Year will be in a few months. Come back and have a look during the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Danshi waved at his grandfather, "I'm going back to work first, after a while, I'll come back and pick you up to play with me when I'm free."

The old man's eyes were red, "It's okay to call grandpa a few more times if you don't have time."

Sitting in the back of the tricycle, Zhao Danshi looked back at his grandfather for a long time.

It wasn't until the tricycle walked away that Zhao Danshi realized that the old man's movements of raising his hands to touch the corners of his eyes from time to time should be wiping away his tears.

Zhao Danshi was hit in the heart, and his eyes were red.

The old man is already so old, and he rarely sees each other. He doesn't know when the next meeting will be, or if there will be any accidents before the next meeting.

When he was waiting for the bus in the county town, he felt very uncomfortable.

There were very few buses in the county, and they came very slowly. Zhao Shanshi sat for almost an hour, watching the people coming and going in the town, and found that most of them were old people, and his heart became more and more sour.

The fate between people is so shallow, even if they are relatives, they have only been together for more than ten years, and after that, they can only see each other at New Year's festivals.

Zhao Shanshi rested his elbows on his knees, staring at the passers-by with red eyes, struggling violently in his heart.

He thought of Watchman, and asked: "Watchman, you said that we can benefit each other, and I can provide you with energy. What can you do for me?"

"What do you want to do? Tell me first, and I'll see if I can help you."

"If I want to stay here and farm, how can you help me?"

"I can provide you with fertilizers and spiritual spring water to ensure that the quality of your vegetables is better than other vegetables, and I can also provide you with information so that you can sell your vegetables at a higher price." Watchman said: "As long as you If you can provide me with the corresponding biological energy, I can get you a lot of good things. If you give enough biological energy, I can also open my mall for you, allowing you to buy boutiques from various planes."

Zhao Shanshi stood up abruptly, pulled the suitcase and went back to the intersection.

Zhao Liwei's car was not full, and he was still waiting for passengers. When he saw Zhao Shanshi, he was very surprised, "What? Did you leave something?"

Zhao Shanshi stuffed the salute into the back of the tricycle, "No, the plan has changed, I have to stay for a few more days."

"Hey," the tricycle uncle nodded with a smile, "It's good to stay for a few more days, just to accompany your grandpa. Hurry up and get in the car, we're going back."

When Zhao Danshi came back to the yard, he saw his grandfather sitting in the yard without doing anything, just sitting there in a daze.The wolf dog Dahei lay beside him, turning his ears from time to time.

Seeing the old man's lonely appearance, Zhao Danshi was troubled for a moment, he stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door lightly, "Grandpa, I'm back again."

Dahei jumped up happily and circled around Zhao Danshi.

The old man stood up anxiously and came over to pull his suitcase, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Zhao Danshi took a deep breath, "No, I'm still on vacation and plan to stay for a few more days."

He didn't dare to directly say that he wanted to stay, for fear that the old man would be anxious.

Only then did the old man feel relieved, patted his arm, helped him pull the suitcase back into the house, and kept saying: "It's good to stay for a few more days, you go to the house to rest, and I'll go buy a chicken."

"Grandpa, don't buy it, isn't there a lot of food left at home?"

"Then how can the order be enough for the two of us? Besides, there is Dahei!" The old man entered the house to get the money, with a smile on his face, and his footsteps were much lighter than before. Raise, I asked her to leave one for me."

Seeing the old man taking the big wolf dog out, Zhao Danshi heaved a sigh of relief, went back to the room to check the time, and planned to call the boss again at noon and tell him that he was going to stay in the country for a while.
