Super Farmer

Chapter 16 The Old Village Chief's Expectations
"Why are you bringing the ox cart back?" Feng Yuling came out of the kitchen with a vegetable basket, and was about to go to the vegetable field, when she saw Su Xu leading an ox cart into the yard, she couldn't help being stunned.

"My cousin's shop received the order for the wedding banquet. I want to buy our family's food. I'll send it to her now. You don't have to wait for me for lunch. You can eat first."

Su Xu said calmly, said the matter lightly, but reversed the order, it is not a lie.

Sure enough, Feng Yuling didn't hear anything unusual.

She also urged: "Your cousin must have taken a big order temporarily, and you can't buy fresh vegetables, so you have to send them over quickly. If you don't have money, don't mention it. Go, I'll help you pack the vegetables."

"No need, I've already made it, Mom, go and cut the shredded eel, I don't have time to cut it for you, wait a minute, you fry sour radish shredded eel, don't put pepper, my dad and brother Zhou have both You can’t eat spicy food. Use cucumber to burn a piece of eel, and don’t put spicy food in it.”

Su Xu changed the subject and unconsciously distracted Feng Yuling's attention.

"Mom wants you to teach me!"

Feng Yuling said something with a smile on her face, then hurriedly turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Su Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the backyard to pick out all the sacks and baskets containing vegetables, put them on the bullock cart, and then stuffed a few big pumpkins between the sacks, tied them with ropes, and hurriedly He drove the ox cart away.

Standing under the eaves of the West Wing, Xu Yuan looked at Su Xu's back with a suspicious expression.

I don't know if he is overthinking, this Su Xu doesn't look normal, he looks like a guilty conscience, and he also looks like he is rushing to get rid of dirty things as a gift?
Not to mention, Su Xu himself felt a guilty conscience. The ox cart drove fast, like a horse-drawn cart, and he breathed a sigh of relief after galloping out of the village.

At noon, there were no people on the road from Yanshan Village to the town, and even less people were there when the sun was scorching.

Su Xu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he felt hungry and thirsty, and his throat seemed to be smoking.

He conveniently took a fist-sized tomato out of the tomato basket, took a bite, the pulp burst out, and his eyes widened.

"What kind of fairy tomato is this? It's so delicious, can it be sold?"

After being shocked, Su Xu was a little worried again, fearing that this batch of dishes tasted too good, and after sending them to his cousin's restaurant, the abnormality of his vegetable field would be exposed.

He took two more cucumbers out of the sack, and before he could eat them, the cow pulling the cart seemed to smell the scent of cucumbers, turned his head suddenly, let out a "moo", and the bull's eyes were straight. Staring at the cucumber in his hand.

"You want to eat too?"

Su Xu tentatively handed the cucumber to the ox's head, and seeing its tongue curled up, he rolled two cucumbers into his mouth and ate them, and let out a cry of excitement.

The old cow that ate two cucumbers seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. On the next road, without Su Xu waving his whip, it pulled the ox cart and ran out of the speed of the carriage.

When she arrived at the small restaurant opened by her cousin Xu Mei in the town, she was a little surprised when she saw Su Xu: "You came so soon? I just received a call from your brother!"

"I have to work in the fields in the afternoon, so I can only spare the time at noon to deliver the dishes." Su Xu wiped the sweat off his face, and carried a sack in one hand to the kitchen of the restaurant with ease.

After moving the vegetables, Xu Mei looked at the piles of vegetables in the kitchen, and asked in amazement, "How big is your vegetable field, why do you grow so many vegetables?"

"My mother cooks well. I can't finish eating at home, and I don't have time to make dried vegetables, so I want to send them over. Sister-in-law, you can use these vegetables if you can. If you have more, just make dried vegetables."

Su Xu turned on the water pipe, washed his face, and said, "My mother said, if you don't have money, you don't have to mention it."

Xu Mei's smile was somewhat sincere, but she said: "This is not good, my sister-in-law runs a restaurant, and she buys it wherever she goes, and she has to spend money. How can she ask for your food for nothing?"

"Sister-in-law, this is what my mother told me. I dare not take your money. That's it. I'm going back."

After Su Xu finished speaking, he drove away in the bullock cart.

Xu Mei caught up again, stuffed him with a bag of mung bean cakes, and asked him to take them back for his parents to taste.

Back in the village, when Su Xu went to the third uncle's house to return the ox cart, he gave the bag of mung bean cakes to the third aunt who came out to welcome her.

After arriving at his small courtyard, Su Xu slapped his forehead fiercely, and said angrily, "It's broken, I forgot to bring back the sack and basket."

Feng Yuling said angrily: "Look at you, you are so boring, how can you do heavy work in the countryside? When you get both, you should hurry back to the city to find a job."

Su Xu was really convinced: "Mom, my dear mother, you are really talented, no matter what you say, you can get involved in the matter of asking me to go to the city to find a job!"

"I don't want your mother to be mad at me, so I'll go to the city early."

Feng Yuling's voice suddenly rose an octave, making Su Xu a little confused, not understanding why she was suddenly excited.

The next moment, he understood that what his mother said was actually for the old village head.

"Cough cough cough...Su Xu, you're back."

The old village chief came out of the main room wearing a washed-white blue undershirt and holding an old pipe.

I haven't seen him for two days, and the old village chief looks even more haggard, with wrinkles all over his face, like dry old tree bark, and his hair has become more gray.

"Uncle Village, your bones are not good. It's noon and the sun is poisonous. It's better not to go out to bask in the sun. Let's go, I'll take you back to rest."

Seeing the old village chief with a sick face, Su Xu worried that he would collapse in the next moment.

"Brother Huazi will pick me up later and take me to the hospital in the county. I still have something to tell you, cough cough cough..."

Halfway through the conversation, the old village head coughed violently again.

Feng Yuling's face became even more gloomy, but seeing the old village chief's appearance, she couldn't say anything, she just gave Su Xu a murderous look.

Su Xu knew what the hell he meant, and wanted him to reject the old village chief.

However, seeing that the old village chief was so sick, still worrying about the affairs of the village, and looking at the old village chief's expectant eyes, he really couldn't say no.

What's more, it is impossible to go back to work in the city. With the sign-in system, he only has room to flex his muscles in the small mountain village under Yanshan Mountain.

Then, it is not impossible to be an acting village chief.

"Let's go, uncle, I'll take you home first."

As Su Xu said, he carried the old village chief on his back, and quickly walked out of his small courtyard, lest his mother say anything hurtful and increase the psychological burden on the old village chief.

When he walked out of the yard, he could hear his mother scolding: "Oh, I am a fool, knowing that someone else dug a hole, he just jumped into it!"

"Uncle, don't take offense, my mother talks..."

Before Su Xu finished speaking, the old village chief smiled and said, "Hehe, I don't know what kind of personality your mother has! I can understand her and your father's feelings, if it weren't for my old bones I can't hold on any longer, and I don't want to drag you down, the most promising kid in the village."
