The squad leader was also a nephew of the Gu family. Although he was not too satisfied with the fact that the brigade leader had assigned a seemingly delicate and weak young girl to their team, he was still very happy with the situation.

However, he still dutifully found the relatively kind Aunt Guihua and took Shen Mu Ning with him, teaching her how to do farm work.

Li Guihua and her group of older women had already seen their team leader leading a little girl over, and their eyes kept glancing in that direction.

Li Guihua's gaze was the most ardent; her family had only given birth to boys, and she longed for a daughter, but ended up having three sons in a row.

She got an IUD after her third son was born, fearing she might have another boy.

However, she always envied the well-behaved and sensible little girls from other families, and preferred the charming little girls.

What's more, she heard from her husband last night that among the educated youth who came this time, only the least attractive female comrade was not very well-behaved, while the other three children were quite obedient.

"Don't worry, Xiangyang, your aunt will definitely help her do a good job."

What a coincidence! It's a perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the young educated youth.

"Little educated youth, come here quickly, what's your name?" Li Guihua waved to Shen Mu Ning.

Shen Mu Ning carefully walked along the ditch in the sweet potato field, trying not to step on the sweet potato vines, and carefully walked to Li Guihua's side.

"Auntie, what are we going to do now?" Shen Mu Ning really didn't know much about planting sweet potatoes, and she couldn't understand why these aunties were turning over these sweet potato vines.

Shen Mu Ning only knew that sweet potatoes were propagated by cuttings, but she didn't know what else needed to be done before harvesting.

Fortunately, the crops in her space were easy to grow without her even needing to sow the seeds properly; otherwise, she might not have harvested anything.

"Little educated youth, don't rush, what's your name?" Li Guihua wanted to talk to her little girl for a while longer.

"My name is Shen Mu Ning, Auntie." Shen Mu Ning spoke weakly under Li Guihua's burning gaze, which was as bright as a light bulb.

Li Guihua realized she might have frightened her, so she called Shen Mu Ning over to look at the movements in her hands.

"Mu Ning, I'm from the family of Captain Gu Chengde. You can call me Aunt Guihua, just like they do."

Li Guihua explained to Shen Mu Ning as she turned over the vines and pinched off the tips.

"What we need to do now is to turn over the sweet potato vines and pinch off the tips. If the sweet potato vines lie on the ground for a long time, they will easily take root on the vines, which is not good for the growth of sweet potatoes."

"As for pinching the tips, it's to encourage the sweet potato vines to grow side branches, like they are now. This activity needs to be done two or three times to ensure the sweet potatoes grow well."

Li Guihua explained it very clearly, and at the same time cleared away the weeds she had encountered.

"Weeds also need to be removed to ensure that no other weeds compete with sweet potatoes for nutrients."

Shen Mu Ning nodded to indicate that she understood: "Auntie, I understand. Shall I go to the area next to you?"
