The night was silent.

Li Zheng's wife looked tired and didn't want to reveal too much about Li Zheng.

"Then I'll see Uncle Li Zheng again tomorrow morning."

Ye Zhizhi didn't say anything more about sweet potatoes, turned around and left.

At dawn the next day, the gong sounded in the village.

Li Zheng asked his eldest son to make money, beat gongs and drums, call out all the people in the village from house to house, and gather at the foot of the mountain behind the village with farm tools.

There are those who complain about not letting people sleep so early in the morning, and there are those who got wind of it last night and said:

"Stop complaining here! Haven't you heard? Our back mountain has more than six acres of food grown!"

"What? Food from six acres of land? Rice or potatoes?"

"No, I heard it's called... sweet potato? It was found by Dajiang's wife. It has the same yield as potatoes, but it tastes sweet in your mouth. It's more delicious than potatoes and can fill your stomach!"

"It's fake. We go up the mountain every day and never find these sweet potatoes. Once Dajiang's wife found it, she had six acres of land?!"

Ye Zhizhi, who was walking down the mountain with a few kids, said, "???"

Good guy, Xu Lanlan found the sweet potato field?

Why is she so unbelievable!

It’s not that Ye Zhizhi is arrogant, it’s mainly that people in this era don’t seem to know sweet potatoes.

Moreover, she just found sweet potatoes with her front legs yesterday. When she dug them, there was no sign that anyone else had dug them. Today, it was reported that Xu Lanlan went to Li Zheng to talk about the sweet potatoes...

No matter how she looked at it, Ye Zhizhi felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

At this moment, Li Zheng stood on the stone and knocked the gong twice to signal everyone to quiet down. Food is the most important thing for the people, and anything related to food is a big deal.

"Yongzhou has been experiencing drought for three months. The crops in the fields cannot grow, and every household is worried about not having enough to eat. Fortunately, Dajiang's wife found sweet potatoes. I called everyone here this morning, just to take everyone to dig together!"

Li Zheng said loudly, "This is a major matter for you to feed yourself, so except for the old, weak, women and children, all the strong men in the family must go and try to dig it all in one day!"

Some people frowned and said, "There is a severe drought. How much food can we get from just six acres of land? If the whole family is sent out, will the battle be too big?"

"Brother Li," Xu Lanlan stepped forward and said before Li was about to start, "I estimated that there are at least more than 1 kilograms of sweet potatoes in the six acres of land. If divided, each family can have about a hundred kilograms. It's just that This sweet potato grows in the ground and is not easy to dig. If you want to dig it all in one day, the whole family must go out!"

"What? Ten thousand pounds?! So much?"

When everyone heard this, they said, "Boom--" and they licked their fingers and said,

"Which family will be divided into... one hundred or two hundred catties?! That's enough for a month."

"What are you talking about? Dajiang's wife is really a living Bodhisattva who saves people in need!"

"Before, I didn't want to see her because she snatched the pig legs. Now think about it, she and Ye Zhizhi have such a good relationship. As the former daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, Ye Zhizhi gave her a pig leg and went back to be filial to the old man. ? You’re so picky, you really embarrass us, the people of Tianshui Village!"

"Auntie, stop saying that!"

When Xu Lanlan heard someone speaking for her, she felt extremely happy, but she said,

"Actually, it's just a pig leg. If she doesn't give it to the elderly at home, I won't argue with her.

It's just that she pushed me into the toilet because San Niu accidentally dyed her rice black. Doesn't this mean she doesn't treat me as a human being?I really can't repay kindness with kindness, so today, anyone in the village can go up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes, but Ye Zhizhi's family can't! "

Li Zheng's face darkened, "Ojiang family member, you didn't tell me about this in advance!"

"Do you still need to talk about this kind of thing?" Widow Wang was the first to stand up and support Xu Lanlan,

"Is Sanniu still Ye Zhizhi's niece? What child is not playful? Just because Sanniu accidentally blackened her rice, she bullied Lanlan like this. I wouldn't be able to give her some sweet potatoes!"

"Widow Wang is right!"

Mrs. Xiao, who was standing at the bottom, smiled with a knife hidden in her face, "Li Zheng, this is what I think. The land has been dry for three months. Doesn't every household want to get more food?"

"That's right!"

"I have worked hard for a year to cultivate the land, and in exchange for this result, I will dig more sweet potatoes when I go up the mountain. You are not allowed to compete with me!"

“Who doesn’t want to get more food?”

The villagers' hearts became warm.

Li Zheng frowned and said, "What do you think these old people are doing?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "Ye Zhizhi has a conflict with our Xiao family. The food that our Xiao family found will never be shared with her. However, other people have no conflicts with our Xiao family. One hundred dollars that originally belonged to Ye Zhizhi's family The catties of sweet potatoes can be shared with other people in our village, and one family can get an extra ten catties!"

"...Aren't you inciting everyone to isolate their orphans and their mothers?" Li Zheng frowned. Just a moment ago, he thought Xu Lanlan's family was generous and dedicated, but now something is wrong!

Ye Zhizhi sneered.

To be honest, she didn't care about the hundred pounds of sweet potatoes. She had already dug everything she needed to dig and took home.

But she doesn’t want it, and it’s two different things than someone targeting her, refusing to give, and riding on her neck to pee!

Facing Xu Lanlan's triumphant eyes, Ye Zhizhi suddenly felt annoyed at being stepped on to climb up.

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to tear them apart when he saw Si Zhu rushing forward like a firecracker, pushing Xu Lanlan and screaming:

"You black-hearted toad, don't even think about bullying the old, weak, sick and disabled in our family. This sweet potato was clearly seen by my stepmother first. An old woman who seizes other people's sweet potatoes deserves to eat shit!"

After Si Zhu cursed, Er Zhu's voice also started to sound loud. He sat down on the ground, slapped his legs and howled, "Oh my God, let's not let people live anymore. My dear grandma is going to starve to death." Ah, I can’t survive this day. Dad, please take us away! Let’s reunite as a family underground!”

"Yeah!" Wuya clenched her little fists and followed suit, "Take me away! Take me away!"

Sanzhu was an honest man with dog eyes, wiping his tears with his little hands, "Li Zheng, I'm hungry."

Ye Zhizhi: "..."

Although Ye Zhizhi was angry, he had to say that Oscar owed their family a statuette.

Especially Erzhu, this is a [-]% imitation of the original owner's behavior in the past!

Ye Zhizhi's temples hurt from looking at it.

But even if the child is acting recklessly, the tears will be wiped away, and the adults will not be able to bear it!

At this moment, many villagers said:

"Okay, this mountain of sweet potatoes is not grown by your family. Why don't you give some to the orphans and widowed mothers? After all, these children's surname is Xiao and not Ye!"

"No matter how poor we are, how can we still starve to death with just ten pounds of sweet potatoes?"
