Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

You must know that the output of grain is very low these days, and you must cultivate intensively to get a good harvest when God provides food for you.

If it really takes a lot of effort to grow food in this place, but the harvested food is not enough for the family to survive, then it is really not worth it.

Looking at the village chief's eyes full of disgust and confusion, Yao Shu had to remind him patiently.

"Do you still remember potatoes? Potatoes can be planted in sandy land, and you know that their yield is not low. Let's take advantage of this period to open up a few acres of wasteland and plant potatoes, so you don't have to worry about food for the coming year. .”

She had previously ordered everyone to keep potato seeds even if they were hungry, just for today.

As long as you grow these potatoes, you don't have to worry about anyone starving to death.

If Yao Shu hadn't reminded him, the village chief would have completely forgotten about the potatoes.

Sure enough, she still has the foresight!

"Can you really grow potatoes in this sandy land?"

"How can I lie to you? My family is already busy."

Yao Shu said to the village chief helplessly.

The village chief never doubted what she said. He had previously thought it was too incredible, so he asked her a question. After receiving a positive answer, he went home happily.

He always did what Yao Shu said. Even though he was about to faint from hunger several times, he never touched the potato seeds. Now he has no shortage of grain seeds and just has to work.

After the village chief left, the Shen family began to work hard again.

Yao Shu did not forget to tell the village chief how to grow potato seedlings, and the village chief then told the villagers the news.

Dahe Village soon became lively, and everyone started working hummingly.

As long as there is hope in life, everyone is not afraid of hard work. Even if they are exhausted every day, their faces are stained with smiles.

But there are a few people who are not happy.

At the beginning of the escape, not everyone took Yao Shu's words seriously. When their chests were pressed against their backs from hunger, many people couldn't help but eat the potato seeds left behind.

Now they are worried about grain.

There weren't many potatoes for everyone. Due to the food shortage at that time, everyone gritted their teeth and kept the grain seeds, which was not a surplus at all.

Therefore, people who do not have grain seeds can only watch others clearing up wasteland to grow potatoes, but they do not know what to do.

Such a result was unacceptable to them, and they were thinking of ways to get some potato seedlings.

Potatoes are a rare item. It is estimated that only Dahezhuang has potatoes in the entire Zhangzhou City, so they have only one way, and that is to borrow them from fellow villagers. As for who else can help, they can only think of one person. .

Shortly after dawn that day, the Shen family began to work in the fields. Although they got up early, everyone was still in a good mood.

Yao Shu was also among the crowd. She was walking forward with everyone in a daze. She had just woken up and her mind had not yet fully awakened.

"Mom! Look, are there any thieves in our land?"

Shen He said in shock.

He pointed to the west and could see the shadows of several people in their field in the distance. If these people ran into their field without incident, could anything good happen?

The melon fields don't accept shoes, and the plums don't dress up. It's no wonder that Shen He feels that his family is being robbed.

Suddenly hearing Chen He's Yao Hao's voice, Yao Shu almost missed her footing and fell down. Fortunately, she steadied herself. She didn't care about talking about Shen He and hurriedly looked at her home.

Because of her preconceived notions, she also thought that a thief was stealing something, and she felt a surge of anger.

"Go and catch those little thieves. They stole things from me."

In Yao Shu's opinion, the potato seedlings in her own field are a good thing. They can not only solve the food problem, but can also be used in exchange for credit as long as they are handled properly, so it is not surprising that someone steals them.

When she spoke, the Shen family immediately picked up the guy and ran forward to catch the thief. However, when they ran in front of these "little thieves", they didn't know where to change the hand they were holding.

Shen Qiu and the other boys were running fast, but Yao Shu was lagging behind. Seeing that Shen Qiu and others stopped and no one dared to make a move, she urged.

"What are you doing standing here stupidly? There are so many of you brothers and you can't even catch a little thief?"

"Mom, it's not..."

Shen Qiu responded hesitantly, but no one took action.

"It's not what? You guys are just as adventurous as you are. You've grown so tall in vain, and you don't have any courage at all."

"Not a thief."

Shen Nanshan hurriedly tugged on Yao Shu's sleeve. He just squeezed over and took a look. The person "busy" in their field was not a thief, but a person from the village.

At this time, Shen Qiu and others finally moved aside, and Yao Shu also saw the face of the "little thief".

"Why are you there? Are you here so early in the morning?"

She had always ignored what her fellow villagers did, but this had caused trouble in her family's field. She was worried that her precious potato seedlings would be trampled, so she needed to ask a few more questions.

"Auntie, we don't have anything to do, so we just wanted to help."

Wu Laosan stated his intention in a nonchalant manner, but he did not dare to look at Yao Shu's face. When Yao Shu accused him of being short-sighted and refusing to save grain, he took it seriously, but now he asked to come.

Anyone who wants to save face will be embarrassed when encountering such a thing.

Not only did he still remember what happened in the past, but what happened less than a year ago now, Yao Shu's memory was also very clear.

She glanced at the people in front of her and could almost guess their intentions. She was not going to help, and her reply was very cold.

"We don't need your help. We have a lot of family members and we can still finish our work."

The scene became very quiet instantly, but she didn't care about it and said to herself.

"Don't come here anymore, so as not to be misunderstood. We have to work, so don't stand in the field anymore, so as not to get in the way."

Yao Shu was never one to repay kindness with kindness, and what she said was very rude. The faces of Wu Laosan and others turned red, and they looked like they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

But even so, they still didn't move. If they could get potato seedlings, their face wouldn't be so important.

"Auntie, can you please lend us some potato seedlings? We are desperate now. If we don't plant some food, we will starve to death this winter. Just be kind and help us."

Wu Laosan begged.

The way they begged and begged was very pitiful, and it was easy to make people feel soft-hearted, especially when they said it as if not helping would endanger someone's life.
