Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

However, the growth cycle of potatoes is short, so you can give it a try.

Although it is a bit late to plant now, if managed properly, some harvest can be achieved, and the villagers can survive for a little longer.

Zeng Zhengen was thinking about something in his mind, but Wang Lianxiang, who was not far away, was waiting anxiously.

Originally, she came to stop her benefactor from going up the mountain. After all, the mountain was too dangerous. But who would have thought that when she arrived, her benefactor had disappeared.

She didn't dare to go to the mountain to look for him, so she could only wait here. If the benefactor didn't come down, she would ask Village Chief Chen to arrange for the villagers to come and look for him.

But she waited here for a long time but her benefactor did not come down. Just as she was about to go back to ask the village chief to help find someone, she suddenly saw a figure not far away walking down the mountain.

Wang Lianxiang was overjoyed and ran forward quickly. When she got closer, she found that the person coming down was her benefactor.

"My benefactor, you finally came down, that's great."

Suddenly a voice came into Zeng Zhengen's ears. Zeng Zhengen hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin woman looking at her with surprise.

Looking at the woman again, she seems to be Maodan's mother!

"Are you waiting for me here?" Zeng Zhengen asked uncertainly.

"Well, benefactor, I saw you going up the mountain alone before, and I... I was worried about you. After all, the mountain is too dangerous. It's also my fault that I didn't tell you about the dangers of the mountain earlier. Fortunately, you came back safely." Wang Lianxiang said nervously.

Zeng Zhengen didn't expect that Wang Lianxiang would be so worried about her safety.

You have to know that they were not very familiar with each other. At most, she helped Maodan treat his wound that day.

"It's okay. We often took mountain roads when we fled famine before. I can deal with any emergencies we encounter in the mountains." Zeng Zhengen said in a light tone.

Although Wang Lianxiang was worried about her, Zeng Zhengen didn't want to get too close to her. After all, Wang Lianxiang's family situation was obviously a big problem.

What Zeng Zhengen hates most is trouble, so in order to avoid trouble, Zeng Zhengen does not intend to get too close to Wang Lianxiang and the indigenous villagers of Fulai Village.

Wang Lianxiang seemed to have not expected Zeng Zhengen's attitude to be so cold, but she soon let it go.

Although the other party is the benefactor of their family, they have only met each other a few times, so it is normal for him to have a cold attitude.

"Even so, I feel relieved. I will go back now, and my benefactor should go back quickly too!" Wang Lianxiang said and was about to turn around and leave.

After Wang Lianxiang left, Zeng Zhengen continued to walk down the mountain carrying a sack of fruit and a small bag of potatoes.

After Zeng Zhengen put the things back home, he locked the door again and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

The three little guys were working hard. Even Zeng Sicheng and Zeng Sirui, a brother and sister, were waving hoes with the Zeng family.

Zeng Zhengen walked forward and called the three kids over, then opened the water bag and handed it to them.

After Zhang Jiahu took a big gulp of water, he immediately felt refreshed and all the fatigue in his body was swept away.

"Mom, this water is so delicious."

Although I often drink this water, he still can't help but exclaim that it tastes so good every time after drinking it.

Zhang Jiajun rolled his eyes at him. This younger brother is really a foodie.

Zeng Zhengen rubbed his head, then said with a smile: "When we get back later, Mom will make you something delicious!"

When Zhang Jiahu heard that there was something delicious to eat, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Mom is the best. I love her the most."

As soon as Zhang Jiahu said this, he was once again met with disdain from his two brothers.

Zeng Zhengen teased the three kids for a while, and then went to the Zeng family who were reclaiming land nearby.

The Zeng family has two strong laborers, Zengfu and Zeng Siyuan, and has reclaimed a lot of wasteland.

"Zeng'er, did you encounter any danger when you went to the mountain?" Zeng's mother asked with concern.

"Mom, don't worry, there's no danger. But I have found a lot of good things this time. I will bring them to you when I go back later." Zeng Zhengen said with a smile.

Wang Huan, who was listening with his ears perked up, almost smiled to the point of wrinkles on his face when he heard that there was something good.

"Zeng'er, how can I trouble you to bring it over? Si Rui and I will go to your place to get it later. How can I ask you to bring it over in person?"

As soon as Wang Huan said this, Zeng's mother's face immediately turned ugly.

"You are so short-sighted, are you itching again? Is it easy for Zeng to take care of three children by herself? I finally managed to get some things back, and you're thinking about it?"

After hearing Zeng's mother's scolding, Wang Huan immediately shrank his neck in fear and dared not say anything else.

When Zeng's mother saw her like this, she became furious again.

Wang Huan also knew that he had made his mother-in-law unhappy, so he immediately used the hoe to plow the soil.

After Wang Huan left, Zeng's mother pulled Zeng Zhengen aside and spoke.

"Zeng'er, you have to be careful with your money as you are raising three children. Don't always think of sending us good things when you get them. We have everything here, so you don't need to send anything here. Just keep the things you get for the children!"

Zeng's mother really felt sorry for her daughter. She had to take care of three children by herself, and she had to take care of everything at home by herself.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't mistreat the children. Besides, I brought back a lot of food, and these children definitely can't finish it all."

She picked a whole big sack of fruit, and the space was filled to the brim.

In the end, Zeng's mother couldn't convince her and had to let her go.

When he went back home for lunch at noon, Zeng Zhengen packed half a sack of fruit and took it to Zeng's house next door.

Zeng's mother was surprised when she saw the fruits Zeng Zhengen brought.

"Zeng'er, where did you get these? How come there are so many?"

When they were in Dapo Village before, they had seen wild fruit trees on the mountain, but they had never seen fruit trees that could bear so many wild fruits.

Zeng Zhengen did not hide it and told him directly about her encounter with a monkey in the mountains and how the monkey took her to pick fruit on the cliff.

Everyone in the Zeng family was amazed when they heard about this, especially Yang Feng, whose eyes lit up when he heard that there were monkeys on the mountain.

"Aunt, are there really monkeys on the mountain? If we go up the mountain in the future, will we be able to see the monkeys?"

After Zeng Sicheng finished speaking, he couldn't wait to go to the back mountain to see what the monkey looked like.
