Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Before Xu Ansheng finished speaking, he saw the light in Huo Yunchao's eyes extinguished faster than he used to blow out candles.

"Yun, Yun Chao, what, what happened? Did I say something wrong?"

Huo Yunchao shook his head: "No, Brother An Sheng, you are right, so right! That's where the sweet potato you are holding was dug from."

He sighed: "Hey, I thought there could be more sweet potato seeds."

Xu Lizheng quietly ate up the remaining sweet potatoes and said with a swipe of his lips: "Second girl was beaten by me. She refused to change after repeated admonitions. She went to another place to dig up sweet potatoes and came back."

There was light in Huo Yunchao's eyes again, and he held Xu Lizheng's hand tightly: "Li Zheng, my Uncle Li Zheng, please tell me how many sweet potato fields Er Niu discovered!"

Xu Lizheng pointed his three fingers: "Three pieces in total. My second girl is stubborn. She kept telling me that sweet potatoes are edible, but I didn't believe it, so she ate them outside secretly before coming back. I was afraid that she would get sick from eating them, so I came back. Beat her up cruelly."

"Oh my God! That's great!"

Huo Yunchao exuded an aura of joy and said enthusiastically: "Uncle Lizheng, tell me quickly where the remaining two sweet potato fields are! I plan to ask the county magistrate to personally preside over the sweet potato digging ceremony tomorrow morning. The county magistrate will Be a witness and mobilize more people to open up wasteland and grow sweet potatoes together!”

Open up wasteland?

Xu Lizheng's head buzzed, "Chao'er, how many acres of wasteland do you plan to open?"

Every year he spends his words persuading the villagers to open up wasteland, but with little success.

In Pingle Village, if one year counts as ten years, the land reclamation area in ten years is less than 30 acres.

Xu Lizheng's political achievements in land reclamation have always been difficult to show, and he was often ridiculed by his peers.

Laughing and sarcastic, you show how capable you are by pulling and stepping on him.

Huo Yunchao told the truth: "I originally wanted to open fifty acres of wasteland, but my father Xu was afraid that fifty acres of wasteland would be too much to take care of, so he said he would only open twenty acres. Uncle Li Zheng, please tell me quickly. Where’s the sweet potato patch?”

"Chao'er, I really didn't mean to show off. I really don't know where he is. I have to rely on your brother An Sheng to find out."

Xu Lizheng really didn't deliberately tease Qiao, and told Huo Yunchao the truth. He turned to his eldest son and said, "An Sheng, go home and ask Er Niu. Er Niu is scared of me, and she doesn't dare to tell me the truth."

Xu Ansheng responded: "Dad, I'll go back and ask Erniu right now."

After two steps out, Xu Ansheng pointed to the roasted sweet potatoes in the basket and said to Huo Yunchao: "Yunchao, you bake the sweet potatoes for us, and I'll take them back to Erniu. Erniu doesn't show off her hawks when she sees rabbits, and doesn't give her any benefits. What can she do?" Take the secret with you in the coffin.”

His second girl had a stubborn temper, and was often secretly digging sweet potatoes behind the family's back. He had to get some benefits to pry her mouth open, and at the same time make her feel at ease.

Huo Yunchao said as he stuffed the bamboo basket: "Okay. Now, Brother Ansheng, take this sweet potato vine back with you, and I will give Erniu a few more sweet potatoes that can be eaten raw. Brother Ansheng, you have to buy it from my house." When you go out to the backyard, be careful not to be discovered."

Xu Ansheng slandered and sneaked out of the backyard of Xu's house. Like a thief, he avoided people's eyes and went around here and there. It took him twice as long as usual to get home. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Second girl!"

Erniu heard the sound and moved her nose, thinking to herself: Huh? Such a familiar smell.

"Dad, did you call me?"

Xu Ansheng pulled Erniu into the house: "

Erniu, look, daddy has brought you something good. "

Erniu's pupils widened to their maximum size, and she grabbed the hem of her clothes with all her strength, crying and accusing her: "Dad, you, how could you steal my things?"

"what?"

Xu Ansheng was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He picked up the sweet potato vine and showed it to Erniu: "Dad didn't steal anything from you. This is what your uncle Yunchao asked me to bring back to ask you. Except for the piece by the creek at the foot of the mountain, Where can sweet potatoes grow in sweet potato fields? These sweet potatoes are good things and can yield as much as ten dan per mu."

Erniu's tears were still in her eyes and she looked at her father blankly: "Dad, you said it's called sweet potato? Can it be planted in our land like rice, wheat and soybeans? I don't have to dig it secretly in the future. ?”

Xu Ansheng nodded heavily. Seeing his daughter crying so hard, he felt uncomfortable in his heart: "Yes! Erniu, your father is afraid that you will get sick from eating bad things. He didn't mean to treat you harshly. Your father loves you."

Erniu nodded with tears in her eyes.

She knew that her grandfather loved her, so whenever she found something delicious and fun, she would bring it to her grandfather. Who knows... It's not that she can't understand her father's concerns, but she really thinks it's a good thing.

She had eaten so many times behind her back and had nothing wrong with her. She was sure she wouldn't get sick from eating it before sending it to her father, but...

Whenever she ate alone, Erniu always wanted her father to try it too, but as soon as she recalled her father's expression of fear that something might happen to her, she became afraid.

Erniu followed Xu Ansheng to Xu's house and stood timidly in the living room of Xu's house. Her black and shiny hair blocked her eyes, but it could not stop her curiosity.

Huo Yunchao couldn't wait to know how to grow sweet potatoes.

He fell down and squatted in front of Erniu: "Erniu, besides the sweet potato field at the foot of the mountain, where else can I find it?"

Encouraged by Xu Ansheng, Erniu reported two other locations. She asked uncertainly: "Uncle Yunchao, can sweet potatoes really be planted in the ground like rice and wheat?"

Huo Yunchao guessed Erniu's thoughts from the conversation between Xu Lizheng and his son, and answered her with a smile: "Yes! Erniu, when uncle finds those sweet potatoes, he will plant them in the ground, and they can promote their planting next year so that more people can eat them." People can eat delicious sweet potatoes! There is a new staple food in our granary! Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, or they can be eaten after being boiled, steamed, fried, and stir-fried. I read that they can also be made into sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli. Woolen cloth."

Erniu's eyes grew bigger and brighter. She turned around and shouted at Xu Lizheng: "Master, you can't hit me again in the future!"

Xu Lizheng was startled at first and then embarrassed. In front of everyone, he stood up and said, "Er Niu, I don't regret beating you."

Erniu pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes again. She cried and said, "Master, I just ate something delicious, and I want you to try it..."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was no sound in the entire living room.

Xu Ansheng felt extremely distressed, "Er Niu, don't cry, don't cry."

Huo Yunchao gave Xu Lizheng a look: Come on, coax your little good granddaughter.

Xu Lizheng cleared his throat in embarrassment and said: "Er Niu, I don't regret beating you because I'm afraid that you will eat food from outside, I'm afraid that you'll have a bad stomach, and I'm even more afraid that something will happen to you. You've been very courageous since you were a child, wandering around like a wild boy. I'm afraid that if I don't take a good look at you, you will die before you grow up. You are the first girl in our family.

God is looking forward to raising you into a big girl and then personally sending you off to get married. "

Erniu threw herself into Xu Lizheng's arms and cried loudly, her cries shaking the sky.

When the villagers gathered outside Xu's house heard Erniu's cry, they all pricked up their ears to listen, and at the same time came up with a bunch of nonsense speculations.
