Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Chapter 28 The whole family takes action

Zheng Xiaoman had no idea what her grandfather was thinking at the moment. She ate the sweet potato in her hand, thinking that there must be more than just the area she had discovered on the mountain.

After going up the mountain tomorrow, she will look for it in other places.

Originally, Old Man Zheng was going to go up the mountain in the afternoon, but was stopped by Zheng Xiaoman.

"Master, it gets dark early this afternoon. We will have to come down again soon after we go up the mountain. It is better for us to get up early tomorrow, bring some food to eat at noon, and then carry the sweet potatoes back home in the evening."

Old man Zheng thought it was not suitable to go up the mountain this afternoon.

"Okay, your aunt and I will come early tomorrow morning, and we will go to the mountain together."

When Old Man Zheng left, he took some sweet potatoes with him, and Zhou Chunfeng gave him a basket of mushrooms. In the afternoon, several of them picked all the mushrooms at home.

Leave a little for dinner, and dry the rest and store them.

For dinner, we made mushroom stewed with cabbage, and Zheng Xiaoman also made a bowl of mushroom sauce.

She also had some sweet potato leaves picked from the mountains, which she blanched and used to make a cold dish.

During the meal, her mushroom sauce received rave reviews.

The mushroom sauce she made was fresh and fragrant, and could be spread on dry food without having to eat any vegetables.

"Sister, I will go to the mountain to pick more mushrooms tomorrow. Can you make me some mushroom sauce?"

Lixia took a big bite of the multi-grain pancake dipped in sauce, and while eating she was thinking about the future.

Zheng Xiaoman also discovered that her younger brother is a foodie.

"Okay, there are plenty of mushrooms on the mountain. After the rain, we can pick more. They won't go bad if they are dried."

Lixia smiled happily when she heard her sister's words, "Well, next year we have to make more sauce, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."

Zhou Chunfeng also knew that her youngest son was greedy, so she tapped his forehead with her finger in a joking manner.

"All you think about is food, you little glutton."

"Mom, I'm not greedy, I just like delicious food. When I grow up, I'm going to open a restaurant and let my sister be the chef, specializing in making all kinds of delicious food."

Zheng Xiaoman......

Please let me go. I’ve been a chef enough in my previous life. I don’t want to be a chef again in this life.

She looked at Lixia and said, "I support you in opening a restaurant. I can also teach you how to cook. You can just cook whatever you want in the future. Right, Boss Xiaoxia?"

Lixia wrinkled her nose, "But I only like to eat, not cook."

Zheng Xiaoman patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. You'll like it as you cook. I'll ask you to cook next time. You can start by cooking the food at home."

Haha, once he learns how to cook, I can be free from the kitchen.

Zheng Lixia said "oh" and raised his hand to scratch his head. Why did he always feel something was wrong?

Zheng Qingming couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a silly brother he was! He was fooled by his sister.

The next day, just after dawn, Old Man Zheng and Zheng Chunhua came over together.

Yesterday, when Old Man Zheng returned home, he brought back some sweet potatoes. After Zheng Chunhua ate them, she was so excited.

Zheng Xiaoman was awakened by the sound of talking outside. Oh my god, it doesn’t even look like five o’clock yet. It’s too early to get up.

She pulled the quilt over her head, curled herself up on the kang and slumped for a few seconds before she crawled up with a head full of chicken feathers.

Coming out of the warm bed, she shivered from the cold.

Before long, the kang in the house will also be heated up.

Seeing her daughter coming out of the house, Zhou Chunfeng asked her to wash her face and eat.

Old Man Zheng and his friend had already eaten at home, so they sat aside waiting for them to eat.

Zhou Chunfeng carried Lixia and Chunya, who were still asleep, to her room and asked her father to look after them.

He carried a backpack, a hoe and a bag, and walked up the mountain with several people.

Today, several of us walked faster and arrived at the place where we found sweet potatoes yesterday in less than an hour.

Old Man Zheng looked at the large field of sweet potatoes and smiled, "With such a large field, we can dig out a lot of sweet potatoes."

Zhou Chunfeng also had a smile on her face. "Dad, the leaves of sweet potatoes can also be eaten. Xiaoman made some yesterday. They were quite delicious."

Old Man Zheng was even more surprised. "Then let's not waste these leaves. Let's take them all home."

"Well, that's what I thought. Even if we can't eat these leaves, we still have three pigs at home. We can just keep some to feed them."

After making their plans, several people started digging sweet potatoes.

Now that we have the tools, the speed of digging sweet potatoes has increased.

However, I didn't control the strength well at the beginning, and all the sweet potatoes I dug out were chopped into pieces.

Zheng Xiaoman put the spoiled ones aside. They could not be kept for a few days, so he had to eat them quickly.

They dug up all the sweet potato leaves in the field in the morning, even removing them and putting them into bags.

While the others were resting, Zheng Xiaoman got up and took a walk around.

Just a few hundred meters away from the previous piece of land, she indeed found another sweet potato field.

It’s just that this piece is smaller than the previous one, but it’s enough to make people happy.

When it comes to food, the more the better. No one will complain about having too much food.

Zhou Chunfeng took out the cakes she brought from home and said, "Dad, eat something first before you work."

Old Man Zheng took the pancake and said, "Well, everyone, have some. Let's try to dig out all the sweet potatoes in the afternoon."

After lunch, without even having time to rest, several people started working again.

Zheng Xiaoman was responsible for putting the dug sweet potatoes into bags, and when the bag was full, he would tie the mouth of the bag with a hemp rope.

She repeated this action all day and felt exhausted.

She looked up at her grandfather and others who were still working, and sighed again how difficult it was to work on this kind of land.

It was not until the sun was about to set that we finally dug out all the sweet potatoes from the two fields.

Zheng Xiaoman estimated that they had dug out more than a thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes have been dug out, but the problem is how to transport them back.

They had not expected to find another piece of land, so they did not push the cart up.

Old Man Zheng sat on the ground and pounded his waist, "We will carry the food down the mountain in batches, Qingming and Xiaoman you stay here to look after the food.

After we get down the mountain, I’ll go home and push the cart over here.”

No one objected, so this is the only way now.

The sweet potatoes have already been dug out, so they definitely can’t be left on the mountain again.

There are wild boars and other animals in the mountains, and they might kill everyone in one night.

After resting for a while, Old Man Zheng stood up and walked downstairs carrying a bag of sweet potatoes.

Zhou Chunfeng and Zheng Chunhua also carried a bag each and followed him down the mountain.

Zheng Xiaoman stood on the mountain and watched the figure getting farther and farther away, feeling unhappy.

This bag of sweet potatoes weighs about sixty or seventy kilograms. The way down the mountain is so difficult to walk on, and she is always worried.

As the sky was getting darker, Zheng Xiaoman looked at the dark woods and fearfully moved closer to her brother.

Zheng Qingming patted his sister's back and said, "Don't be afraid, your brother is here."
