Chapter 53 The Poor Little One Killed by His Uncle 9
"When you cook corn, throw two potatoes in it. Mashed potatoes are also delicious with sorghum rice. I have ready-made sorghum rice at home. Ask your aunt to bring you a bowl at noon."

Yuanchun smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Madam."

The sound is crisp and very pleasant.

The second grandmother looked at it curiously and said, "Do you have any potatoes at home? Go to my house and get some."

In recent years, there has been good rainfall and a good harvest. Every household in the village has enough food, and some families can even sell the food they can't finish.

"Yes, I have potatoes planted in my yard. I'll go home and dig some and cook them."

Little Yuanchun walked home happily.

From a distance, she saw Cheng Fang standing at the gate of her house. She smiled and said, "Brother Cheng Fang, you are here. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not long." Cheng Fang looked at her small basket in surprise, "I went to the field to look for you, why didn't I see you?"

"Oh, I went around to the river to play for a while."

Xiao Yuanchun lied without changing his expression, then opened the door and the two of them entered the yard.

Cheng Fang was worried. "Yuanchun, the river is not safe. Don't go there alone. If you want to go to the river, call me and I will take you there. I can swim."

"Brother Cheng Fang, I can swim too."

The original owner could indeed swim, and she loved playing by the river. Her grandfather was worried that she would fall into the river, so last summer, her grandfather stopped working in the fields for a month and taught her how to swim.

"Then you can't go play alone. It's dangerous."

"Got it, Brother Cheng Fang."

The little brat is quite talkative.

Yuanchun threw a hoe to him and said, "Brother Cheng Fang, dig out some potatoes first. I will cook them later."

"Okay." Cheng Fang grinned, revealing a row of white teeth as white as corn kernels.

Before noon, the second cousin brought a big bowl of sorghum rice and told Xiao Yuanchun, "My mother went to your second uncle's house. Several police officers came, and my parents went to help."

So much money was stolen from Liu Tiezhu's family. Yesterday, the couple was so sad that they didn't think of reporting the case. It was the second grandfather who went to remind them this morning.

Little Yuanchun showed curiosity, "Second cousin, now that the police are here, can we get my second uncle's money back?"

"I don't know about that." The second cousin scratched his hair and walked out anxiously, "I'll go take a look. This is the first time that the police have come to our village. I'll go and see what's going on."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Yuanchun closed the gate, carried the sorghum rice into the kitchen, and then went to the backyard and called out, "Brother Cheng Fang, stop pulling, and come eat first."

At noon, in addition to a plate of mashed potatoes and a bowl of scallion and egg sauce, Yuanchun took out two fist-sized steamed buns and two salted duck eggs from the space.

Sorghum rice and salted duck eggs are the perfect match.

The two children shared a bowl of sorghum rice, and little Yuanchun ate half a steamed bun. The remaining one and a half steamed buns went into Cheng Fang's stomach.

After dinner, Xiao Yuanchun washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Cheng Fang took a hoe and went to the backyard to dig a hole. He buried half of the radishes in the hole.

Of the remaining half, part was washed and cut by Xiao Yuanchun and dried into radish, and the other part was pickled by her to make sour radish.

Seeing that she could pickle sour radishes, Cheng Fang said, "Yuanchun, I also planted half an acre of radishes. Can you pickle some for me?"

"Okay, then I'll go to your house tomorrow and help you wash the radishes." Little Yuanchun's smile was sweet, beautiful and cute. "You come to help me with the work, and I will also help you with the work. This is called helping each other."

Cheng Fang really likes this mutual help.

He smiled brightly, "Okay, we'll help each other."
