After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Jiang Xiaohua burst into laughter.

She looked at Li Yuanzhi with gloating, "Look, the child's eyes are sharp."

Li Yuanzhi's shoulders slumped and he said with a sad face, "Miaomiao, do you have to help me remember it so clearly?"

Xiao Miaomiao was already concerned about other issues:

"Mother, let's secretly leave Oolong outside the village. It won't get lost."

Jiang Xiaohua said, "No, it has been following us."

Xiao Miaomiao asked again, "Then will it go to the villagers' houses to steal chickens?"

Jiang Xiaohua said with full confidence, "No."

In addition to the fields around Zhaojiacun, there are also undulating woods on the edges.

Before entering the village, Jiang Xiaohua frightened passers-by and let her go to the woods to hunt freely.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiaohua told Oolong, "Don't let humans see you."

"I know you have a lot of ideas."

"Also, you can catch rabbits, voles, etc., but you are not allowed to go to the villagers' houses and eat other people's chickens!"

When Jiang Xiaohua was chattering to Oolong, Xiao Miaomiao was following behind and heard her.

She has cared about it till now.

After getting Jiang Xiaohua's affirmative reply, Xiao Miaomiao felt relieved.

She held Jiang Xiaohua's hand with her little hand and said, "Then when are we going to pick up Oolong?"

Jiang Xiaohua promised, "I'll go as soon as I finish digging the sweet potatoes."

The land where the sweet potatoes are planted is, as Huaihua said, under a soil slope.

The narrow strip of sand should be less than an acre in total.

The sweet potato vines in the field have dried up and turned black.

Aunt Liu Er said distressedly, "We really need to dig it up quickly, otherwise the buds will rot in the ground!"

Everyone started digging from the sand.

Because Uncle Liu was old and weak, Jiang Xiaohua originally arranged for him to sit on the ground and rest.

But the old man refused to watch and had to do some work within his ability.

When others were digging sweet potatoes, he would pick them from the vines and gather them together to make room under the workers' feet.

Four little beans ran to Uncle Liu Er.

"Second Grandpa! Let's do it with you!"

Uncle Liu Er looked at the four little children with loving eyes and said, "No, the sweet potato vines are very hard. Don't scratch your little hands."

"Go over there and play!"

But the four little ones refused to leave. Liu Yong said, "What you can do, we can do too."

"Yes!" Liu Guang had already picked up a handful of sweet potato vines, "Second Grandpa, don't underestimate us, we don't eat for free!"

Jiang Xiaohua turned back and said with a smile, "Second uncle, just let them do it."

Uncle Liu Er didn't stop them anymore, but he was still worried and kept a close eye on the four little ones.

"Hey, watch your step!"

"Be careful when you pull it out!"

Li Yuanzhi followed everyone to dig sweet potatoes.

After a few digs, he was rejected.

Aunt Zhou glanced at the messy sand at Li Yuanzhi's feet and said as tactfully as possible:

"I see there's still a shortage of manpower to pull sweet potatoes over there, why don't you go over there and help?"

Li Yuanzhi was silent for a moment, "You mean, let me go with the children?"

Aunt Zhou nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

Jiang Xiaohua had a hard time holding back her laughter.

She didn't dare to look at Li Yuanzhi's expression at this moment, for fear that she would burst into laughter.

At this time, the second aunt took her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law to dig here.

Among them, Xiao Zou, the third daughter-in-law, is the most outspoken.

"Mr. Li, please give in. There are sweet potato vines under your feet and we can't dig them."

Li Yuanzhi blushed and moved his feet away hastily.

But as soon as he moved his position, he found Aunt Zhou looking at him helplessly.

This time, Li Yuanzhi had experience and quickly moved to another place, "Am I stepping on sweet potatoes again?"

Jiang Xiaohua controlled her expression and patted Li Yuanzhi on the shoulder.

"Brother, I think you should stop struggling."

"It's better for you to join the children's camp as early as possible."

Li Yuanzhi said with a grimace, "Jiang Xiaohua, you can laugh if you want to. You don't have to hold it in."

Jiang Xiaohua finally couldn't hold herself any longer and supported Li Yuanzhi and laughed loudly.

Aunt Zhou watched the interaction between the two, nodded secretly, and showed a happy and meaningful smile...

Faced with Li Yuanzhi joining in midway.

The four little Doudings and Uncle Liu Er expressed their welcome.

The second uncle even comforted Li Yuanzhi, "Mr. Li is a scholar."

“There’s nothing to feel bad about not being able to do farm work.”

"Unlike people like us, we have been dependent on these lands since we were born, and we have long been used to it."

Li Yuanzhi accepted Uncle Liu's thoughtfulness and picked up a bunch of sweet potatoes with a smile.

"Is it like this, just take them off one by one?"

"Not bad." Uncle Liu Er praised, "Put the picked sweet potatoes here."

"Put the sweet potato vines over there and divide them into two piles so they can be easily disposed of in the end."

Li Yuanzhi nodded and started picking sweet potatoes.

Picking and picking, he sat on the sand, with piles of sweet potatoes at his feet and endless farmland in the distance.

This is a life that Li Yuanzhi has never experienced or even thought about in the past twenty years.

He had the feeling that "the past was like a lifetime ago", and he couldn't help but slow down the movements of his hands, and looked up at the sky, showing a melancholy and emotional expression.

Liu Guang noticed it first, poked everyone, and whispered, "Look, Mr. Li is lazy again."

The other three little ones followed the instructions and also snickered.

Xiao Miaomiao covered her mouth and whispered, "Mr. Li is so stupid!"

Liu Ming admired Li Yuanzhi the most. After he laughed, he immediately defended seriously:

"Mr. Li is not lazy, he is just meditating!"

Liu Yong wondered, "What's the difference between meditation... and being in a daze?"

Liu Ming couldn't answer for a while.

It was Uncle Liu Er who said, "Let's not disturb Mr. Li."

"Adults have so many things on their minds, how can they be like you little kids?"

The four little ones continued to work obediently and no longer looked at Li Yuanzhi.

Li Yuanzhi himself woke up quickly and returned his attention to the sweet potato in his hand.

The three families worked together to finish digging the entire yarn field at sunset.

Sophora japonica came over with a hoe, followed by her four children, all of whom looked dusty.

They have also been busy in their wheat fields in the afternoon.

But it was finally over, which put a relaxed smile on Huaihua's face.

"Did you finish digging so quickly? It's really hard on you."

Jiang Xiaohua knocked off the loose soil on the little hoe and said with a smile, "I promise you the job, of course I will do it."

"But your potato fields are so well planted, this year's harvest is excellent."

Sophora japonica pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't expect to be able to dig so much. Just as I said before, half for you and half for me."

When she came, she brought a few empty sacks.

There are too many sweet potatoes to move at once.

Everyone first packed a few bags of sweet potatoes and worked together to move them back to Huaihua's house.

Uncle Liu Er took Sophora japonica and Jiang Xiaohua's children to stay in the field to guard the sweet potatoes.

Li Yuanzhi vowed to prove himself in this physical activity and took the initiative to carry a whole bag of sweet potatoes.
