Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

This place is close to the mountain and not far from my own paddy field. There are a lot of weeds and shady trees, so it's quite cool. But there's nothing fun here except grass. Why would three kids come here to play? Are they going to play in the mud?

Xuyuan was very confused.

"Big sister, this is it."

I made a wish and looked at the large field of wild sweet potatoes in front of me, and I felt so happy.

"Start digging. Try to fill this basket. The sun isn't that hot right now and there's some shade here."

The four siblings started working together. Fortunately, the whole area was under the shade of trees and the soil was very moist. They pulled out a few small sweet potatoes with a gentle pull.

He used his little hands to dig out many fruits and soon dug out several sweet potatoes.

"Dig carefully. There may be some left in the ground that haven't been dug out." Xu Yuan now felt that using a hoe was a bit troublesome, and he accidentally cut the sweet potato in half, which was a waste.

It seems I need to buy an iron rake.

Xu Zhi was also digging happily, constantly throwing sweet potatoes into the backpack. "One here, and another here." There were so many on one vine. Sister said that these were not fertilized yet. If fertilizer was applied, they would grow more and bigger.

"It's full, let's go back first." Looking at the horrible sight of the land, as if it had been paddled by a dog, the small backpack would be just enough to be filled with fruits after all the land was dug up.

Some of them have rotted in the ground, which seems a waste. I really don't know what treasures there are in this mountain that no one cares about, and can only rot in the ground or be eaten by animals.

Xu Yuan felt it necessary to use the treasure sniffing function, even though it would use up 500 points each time and only one kind of treasure could be sniffed at a time, and there was also a function for manual input, but Xu Yuan wanted to try to see if he could find any wild eggs.

Let’s do it tomorrow, and go up the mountain to pick up some firewood.

"Let's go back and cook."

······

"Brother, do you think these pepper seeds will sprout? They are smaller than the tip of my finger."

Behind Pan Dahai's house.

Pan Xiaojiang looked at the tiny pepper seeds in his hand with curiosity, "Such tiny pepper seeds can really produce so many peppers, is that amazing?"

Two or three vacant plots of land were reclaimed, but now they are still empty.

Grandma Pan followed Grandpa Pan and spread wood ash. Grandpa Pan had taken medicine in the past few days and his body had almost recovered. He was now holding a hoe and helping to turn the soil.

"Xiao Jiang, don't underestimate these seeds. Plant them well and take good care of them. The land will never lie to you."

"no pain no gain."

Grandma Pan said to Pan Xiaojiang earnestly.

"I understand, grandma. This is the source of our family's future income. I will definitely take good care of it."

Pan Dahai also nodded.

"Okay, we've almost finished turning the soil. Let's start planting the pepper seeds. After watering, cover them with some hay. When the seeds sprout, we'll transplant them into the ground."

Everyone was busy with their own work. Pan Dahai looked at the pepper seeds covered by hay and was already looking forward to what the grown pepper seedlings would look like.

Grandma Pan and Grandpa Pan were very pleased to see their two grandchildren working hard, and they were also very grateful to Yazi who made the wish.

After all, as people get older, they are less and less capable of doing physical work, and the whole family is living less and less.

Seeing how thin her two grandchildren are, Grandma Pan feels very distressed. Her husband is sick, but she can only endure it. Thinking about it, Grandma Pan couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

Grandpa Pan patted Grandma Pan on the shoulder and said, "Ah Pan, Dahai and Xiaojiang are both very sensible. Don't worry about them. Go back and rest if you are tired."

"Grandpa and grandma, we are almost done. Let's go back to the house first. It's a bit sunny here."

"Is anyone home, Dahai?"

The sound of making a wish was heard outside the house, and Grandpa Pan hurriedly called Pan Dahai over, fearing that he would neglect the wish.

"Sister Xuyuan, why did you come here suddenly? Where have you been? Why are you covered in mud?"

Pan Dahai opened the gate and looked at the two men and two women outside. Everyone's clothes were covered with mud and they were all covered in dust. He opened the gate and led the Xu Yuan siblings into the yard.

"Hey, is it time to make a wish?" A kindly white-haired old woman came out from behind the house carrying a hoe, followed by a white-haired old man and a young boy who looked similar to Pan Dahai.

"Hello, Grandpa Pan, and the little brothers behind you." Xu Yuan greeted the people who came.

He also introduced his younger sister and brother to everyone.

When the young boy saw the Xuyuan siblings coming to his house, he was very enthusiastic and greeted them with a smile: "Xuyuan sister, Xuzhi sister, Guozi brother, Xiaoduo brother, hello, my name is Pan Xiaojiang, I am ten years old this year."

Pan Xiaojiang learned from his brother who the Xuyuan family was, so he didn't know their names in case he saw them.

"Brother Dahai, Brother Xiaojiang, hello, hello." The two young men in front of Guozi and Xuanyu were very restrained.

"Come, come, sit inside. Xiaojiang, move some chairs out, and Dahai, go pour some water out." Grandma Pan invited Xuyuan and his sister to come in.

"Don't be so polite. I came to you to discuss something."

"Girl Make a Wish, our family is very grateful to you for teaching us how to sprout seeds, which has given us some source of income. Now, thanks to you, we are able to grow peppers. We are so lucky to have met such a noble person like you. So, girl, if you need anything, just ask. We will never refuse to help you if we can."

After Grandpa Pan recovered from his illness, he wanted to visit the person who made the wish. It happened that he came today, which is really a good thing.

"Yes, girl, if you need any help from us, feel free to ask."

Grandma Pan echoed, stood up, took out some dried fruits from the house and put them on the table.

This is what Dahai brought back from the county town last time. He said it was for his grandfather to drink when he was taking medicine because Chinese medicine was too bitter.

But Grandpa Pan couldn't bear to eat it and wanted to save it for his two grandsons.

This will come in handy now. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have guests at home and have nothing.

"Here are some dried fruits, you can take some and eat them." He took a few and put them directly into Guozi and Xiuxian's hands. The two little kids looked pitiful.

"Thank you, grandma." The two kids replied sweetly.

"Yuan girl, Zhi girl, you can also take some to eat, you are welcome."

Xuyuan and Xuzhi nodded.

Pan Dahai was rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the kitchen, feeling very embarrassed.

Alas, there is not even any tea to entertain guests at home.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Pan Xiaojiang was puzzled when he saw his elder brother sighing and rummaging around.

"We don't have any tea at home. It's rare for Sister Xuyuan to come to our house, and we can't even afford to offer her some tea. Sigh."

"It's okay, big brother, hurry up and pour the water out. I think Sister Xuyuan is just passing by, so she won't stay for too long."

"Okay." Pan Dahai was afraid that they would leave after making a wish, so he quickly brought the water out.
