The group of people kept discussing Lin Yuxi's bride price.

As for Lin Yuxi, she was moving the electric fan that Gu Chen had sent into the room.

The fan we brought earlier was already used by Mr. Lin and Grandpa Lin, as the two men are sensitive to heat. Now that we have an extra fan, it's just right for the two rooms.

"Mom, I'll put this fan in the middle, with a curtain in between, so it can blow air from both sides." Lin Yuxi plugged it in and pressed a button, and a cool breeze filled the originally stuffy room.

Lin's mother was steaming sweet potatoes when she responded from the kitchen, "Remember to bring your bicycle in and lock it tonight. Now that you're engaged, you'll be a grown woman."

"Getting engaged doesn't mean moving out. I'm not going to be separated from you all yet." Lin Yuxi smiled and squinted her eyes, then hugged her mother's arm affectionately.

"Naughty." Lin's mother reached out and tapped her forehead. The sweet potatoes and cornbread in the pot were almost cooked. She picked up a piece of sweet potato with her chopsticks and put it in the bowl.

"Have something to eat first. The sweet potatoes Caixia grew are really delicious. Lunch won't be ready for a while. If you have nothing to do, go and clear the table."

When Gu Chen arrived in the morning, in addition to the three watches and one radio, he also brought a lot of fruit and melon seeds, which were placed on the table.

Lin Yuxi brought the sweet potatoes to the table. She noticed how fragrant the sweet potatoes were while steaming the rice, but when eaten alone, they seemed a little lacking. Although the flesh was plump, the color was not good enough. They were sweet but a bit cloying, and the texture was dense without any fibers. If the color were golden and the texture were improved, these would be the perfect product for roasting.

"We can try to graft it into a sweet potato..." Lin Yuxi cut the sweet potato open. Each sweet potato was very large, weighing at least three pounds, so she had to cut it into sections to steam.

If you graft sweet potatoes, you need to select a few smaller ones to cultivate better genes. After a few years, you can establish the first "individual business" and sell them exclusively.

"Mom, are there any sweet potatoes left at home?"

Sweet potatoes reproduce relatively slowly and require repeated experiments to finalize their propagation; therefore, it's definitely better to start as early as possible.

"We're out of sweet potatoes at home. This is the last pot for today. If you want some, you can go to Aunt Caixia's house this afternoon to borrow some," Lin's mother replied while chopping vegetables.

In the afternoon, after a quick meal, Lin Yuxi put on a straw hat and flew towards Gu Zhixiang's house like a light butterfly, with a small, exquisite basket hanging from her wrist.

There happened to be someone at home, so Lin Yuxi gently knocked on the door and stepped inside.

"Aunt Gu, do you have any extra sweet potatoes at home? I'd like four or five of those small ones to plant."

Wang Caixia was tidying up the house. The two children were getting engaged, so the house naturally needed some tidying up. Hearing the noise, she quickly put down the brush and said with a smile, "Yes, there's plenty. Take more, I have plenty."

"I only need four or five, I want the small ones." Lin Yuxi said, gesturing with her hand, the size of which was about ten centimeters.

Wang Caixia skillfully lifted the wooden planks of the cellar and walked down the ladder as if it were flat ground. "How can you plant such small ones? The sweet potatoes we grow are all plump and big. I'll look carefully for you later."

She entered the cellar with the lightness of a swallow, picked and chose, and put a dozen or so that looked relatively small into her basket.

"Xixi, do you think this is enough? If not, Auntie will pack you some more."

Lin Yuxi was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "That's enough, Auntie, that's plenty."

She left after a short while, carrying a basket filled with more than ten sweet potatoes. She planned to put the extra sweet potatoes into her spatial storage when she got back, and then take out two sweet potatoes to conduct an experiment.
