Chapter 21 -   Chapter 21 Don’t mistake sweet potatoes as good food!

Jiayin was playing with a beautiful pheasant feather. The feather tickled her face, and she shook her head with laughter.

  Mrs. Li trembled in her heart and quickly hugged her granddaughter and kissed her hard.

  "Don't talk nonsense with outsiders. This is the good luck brought by our Fu Niuer! Go and clean up all the rabbits, stew one in the evening, smoke the rest, and save them for winter."

  She whispered to her son. , "Save the eggs for Hongying to eat. No one can touch them. Fu Niuer must not be hungry."

  Li Laosi was about to leave in response, but Mrs. Li suddenly asked.

  "Where has Wu Ergou gone? I haven't seen him in the past two days. Remember to find a reason to drive him away!"

  "Mom, didn't Second Sister-in-law tell you? Wu Er found a job as a casino clerk. This morning Let's go to the county seat." Tao Hongying said while drying the mushrooms.

  Mrs. Li frowned, the casino was not a good place, but she soon relaxed.

  "It's best to leave. He's not our family, so there's no need to worry too much."

  After saying that, she picked up Jiayin and patted her with great affection. "If you have the time, why not spend time with our little lucky girl? ."

  Jiayin giggled, wanting to take a good look at her yard, but her neck was too soft, so she could only lie on her grandma's shoulder and continue drawing the saliva map...

  The next day, when Mr. Li was about to go out, Jiayin repeated what he had done yesterday.

  As soon as Li Laosi put his daughter down, she cried, and when he picked her up, she laughed, and the crystal clear saliva on his father's face was covered with it.

  Li Laosi was helpless and happy, "Mom, look, my daughter kissed me!"

  "What a fuss, my granddaughter kisses me every day."

  Mrs. Li couldn't stand her son's arrogant look and rolled her eyes at him. , with a sour tone.

  "Mom, I'll take Fu Niu'er and Laosi up the mountain today to see if we can pick some mushrooms or something."

  Tao Hongying quickly helped Zhao Yuru clear the dining table and said.

  Tao Hongying made a new wicker basket yesterday, polished the thorny areas smooth, and spread a soft quilt inside.

  This way Jiayin can lie inside and she can have both hands free to work.

  "Mistress, I want to go too!"

  "And me, and me!"

  Jia An's family seemed to be joining in the fun, jumping up and down the mountain shouting.

  Mrs. Li looked at her two happy grandsons and agreed with a smile.

  "Okay, you can go if you want. Don't run around like crazy and take care of Fu Niuer."

  Jiayin was lying in a wicker basket with a small pergola built on top, so she didn't get any sunlight. She was swaying and being carried by Tao Hongying on her back. Mountain climb.

  She was thinking about how to get the sweet potatoes out of the space, so she went to the mountain. Tao Hongying was busy and gave the wicker basket to An Jiaxi.

  Jia'an Jiaxi was lying next to the basket teasing her sister, with her two mischievous smiling faces, which made Jiayin couldn't help but laugh too.

  Jia'an carefully picked up the wicker basket, hung the two cloth straps on his shoulders, and held it against his chest like a backpack. When he lowered his head, he could see his sister's little face.

  Jia An wanders around carrying Jiayin on his back, which creates a good opportunity for Jiayin.

  She calculated the location accurately, moved half an acre of sweet potatoes planted in the backyard of the space, and chose a bush to hide.

  Sure enough, after a while, Tao Hongying picked up the mushrooms and walked over unconsciously.

  When she dug through the grass, she was startled when she saw dense half-yellow sweet potato seedlings.

  Looking around, there were no traces of anyone else except the footprints of his family.

  This was obviously not planted secretly by someone...

  She quickly squatted down and started digging sweet potatoes.

  The soil was soft, and within a few moments I dug out two sweet potatoes that were larger than my palm!

  Tao Hongying could no longer hold back her excitement and hurriedly called Li Laosi over.

  Li Laosi was also very happy. The couple squatted on the ground and started digging.    

  After a while, the baskets they were carrying could no longer hold.

  Li Laosi wanted to go home, but was afraid that his wife and children would be unsafe in the woods, so he called Jia An Jia Xi.

  "You guys go home quickly, and don't be playful on the way. Tell your grandma to dig out all the bags at home, and then ask the family to come quietly to move the sweet potatoes. Remember not to tell anyone! When winter comes, I will bake sweet potatoes for you, and It's sweet and oily."

  Jia An and Jia were so greedy that they quickly agreed, "We won't tell you!"

  The two boys immediately ran home, and when they got home, they told Mrs. Li about the sweet potatoes. .

  Mrs. Li thought of her granddaughter who followed her up the mountain, and felt like a mirror.

  She quickly called Zhao Yuru to take out all the bags and baskets, and then called Li Lao Er and Li Lao San, Jiaren Jiayi, all of them went up the mountain together.

  She didn't forget to keep an eye on it, and asked Zhao Yuru to find a reason to send Wu Cuihua out early.

  It was time to make lunch soon. Wu Cuihua didn't want to work, but she left happily.

  The family secretly went up the mountain without being seen.

  Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the large field of sweet potato seedlings and the pile of large sweet potatoes dug out by Li Laosi and Tao Hongying.

  I am afraid that if I can dig out seven to eight hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, my family will have enough food for half the winter.

  "Mom, brother, sister-in-law, put it in the bag quickly, be careful of anyone coming in!"

  Li Laosi quickly pulled the bag and started filling it, urging everyone.

  Everyone came to their senses and had no time to express their joy. They hurriedly held up bags and picked up sweet potatoes. They were busy working in full swing.

  Finally, all the sweet potatoes were dug out and packed into more than 20 bags and baskets.

  The whole family moved back and forth twice before they all moved back home.

  Mrs. Li looked at the sweet potatoes piled up in the warehouse and grinned almost to her ears.

  With these sweet potatoes, their family is no longer afraid of going hungry in winter. Just cut two and throw them into the porridge pot. It tastes so good and makes them so hungry!

  With such good luck, there was no need for good news to please and cry, so Li Laosi and Tian Hongying took their daughters and ran to the mountains every day, going deeper and deeper.

  I found quite a few red pine trees and a walnut tree before.

  The couple both wanted to pick some and get some snacks for the children at home.

  Li Laosi climbed a tree and hit the pine cone. Tao Hongying was a little worried and stayed below.

  As a result, I saw my daughter pointing at the tree hole in front of me and screaming. She curiously tore open the thatch blocking the tree hole.

  The hole in the tree was filled with chestnuts. She tentatively took out a handful, and the chestnuts flowed down like running water endlessly.

  She filled one basket but it wasn't enough, so she ended up filling another cloth bag.

  I don't know how this small tree hole could hide so many chestnuts.

  Jiayin lay down in the wicker basket, spitting bubbles obediently, and continued to search for a suitable location, and placed two more eggs.

  There are fourteen to fifteen hens in the small space yard, and they can pick up ten eggs every day, which is enough for three to five days.

  Sure enough, Tao Hongying found the egg nest behind the tree after a while, and she was so happy that she went crazy.

  This wasn't the most surprising thing until Li Laosi shouted from a distance.

  "Daughter-in-law, come quickly and see what good things I have found!"

  Tao Hongying hurried over and saw a bunch of bright red apples and dates placed at Li Laosi's feet, as well as pineapples as big as fists.

  Even if I didn't take a bite, I could tell from the faint sweet taste that this fruit must be extremely delicious.

  "Where did you find this? They look so good!"

  Tao Hongying couldn't put it down, stroking each one.
