The next morning, everyone got up early. Today was the day to start planting sweet potatoes, and everyone was busy from early morning.

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest first went to the wasteland outside and dug out holes for planting sweet potatoes.

Grandpa Zhao was responsible for cleaning the yard and feeding the livestock.

Xu Han wasn't idle either. After making breakfast, she went to the sweet potato seedling area in the backyard to cut the sweet potato vines.

Put all the cut sweet potato vines into a winnowing basket, and you can take them out and plant them directly in a little while.

This year, the sweet potato vines were planted earlier than usual, resulting in exceptionally healthy seedlings with thick, mature roots. Such seedlings have a higher survival rate.

If the sweet potato seedlings are too tender, they will be easily sunburned and will take a long time to establish themselves.

Xu Han kept cutting until she heard Grandpa Zhao calling for breakfast from the front yard. Only then did she stand up, pick up the basket, and walk to the front yard.

First, put the winnowing basket under the eaves so it won't wilt in the sun.

Then he washed his hands and went to the room to wake Mu'er up.

When Xu Han entered the room, Mu'er was already awake and was playing with her younger brother next to Ze'er.

"Oh! You two are awake? That's wonderful! Did you know your mother was busy and didn't cry today?" Xu Han kissed Mu'er and said.

"Mu'er woke up and is helping to look after her younger brother."

"Mu'er is so great, I'll give you a little cookie as a reward later." Xu Han praised Mu'er while changing Ze'er's diaper.

"Okay, I want to eat two," Mu'er said in her childish voice, holding up two fingers.

"Okay. Have two." Xu Han said indulgently.

Xu Han was in a particularly good mood because both children were so well-behaved.

After tidying up the two children, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan also came in.

Then everyone sat down together and started eating breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Chuan took the sweet potato seedlings that Xu Han had just cut outside.

The whole family went to the wasteland outside.

Xu Han put Ze'er on a small cart and gave him a toy to play with, while she and Mu'er planted sweet potatoes together.

"Mu'er, Mother has a small task for you. Let's see if you can complete it?"

"Okay, I can definitely do it," Mu'er said confidently.

“Then listen carefully, do you see the pit that Grandpa Taoist and Dad dug in front of you?” Xu Han said, pointing to the sweet potato pit next to her.

Upon hearing this, Mu'er nodded, "I saw it."

“These are sweet potato seedlings. Now you and your mother need to put the sweet potato seedlings into the pit together. Only one seedling can be put into each pit, understand?” Xu Han said while demonstrating.

Mu'er listened attentively, took her own little basket from Xu Han's hand, and imitated her in a very serious manner.

"Haha, you're teaching children to farm from a young age! Only you could come up with something like this, having such young kids help you farm," the Taoist priest said with a chuckle.

“I’m teaching him, letting him participate in the farming process, so he knows that every grain of rice is hard-earned and we can’t waste food. We need to cultivate good habits from a young age,” Xu Han argued, sticking out her neck.

“Xiao Han is right. Don’t underestimate him just because he’s little; children can understand everything. Look how enthusiastically Mu’er is working,” Grandpa Zhao explained to Xu Han.

“Boys should get more exercise; they shouldn’t be spoiled,” Lu Chuan chimed in.

"Alright, alright, you're all right, we'll listen to you." Seeing that everyone had the same idea, the Taoist priest quickly changed his tune to avoid being attacked by the group.

So today, we have another helper in planting sweet potatoes.

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest were in charge of digging the holes, Mu'er threw in the sweet potato seedlings, and Xu Han threw in the seedlings while burying them. Grandpa Zhao was solely responsible for burying the sweet potato seedlings.

Ultimately, with Xu Han's sweet talk and praise, Mu'er became extremely satisfied with her work and surprisingly persisted for a long time.

Of course, she also received encouragement from others. And so, amidst this encouragement, Mu'er slowly lost herself. She stubbornly worked on the farm for a very long time.

Xu Han waited until the sun grew higher before taking Mu'er and Ze'er home.

They continued planting sweet potatoes outside, while Xu Han took the children home first, letting them play inside to avoid the sun being too strong outside.

Xu Han took advantage of this time to quickly cut some more sweet potato seedlings. The ones she cut in the morning were all used up, and she would need to cut new ones in the afternoon.

After cutting the sweet potato seedlings, she immediately went back inside to check on the children.

I won't make lunch today; I don't have time. I'll just eat the food from the space.

Anyway, there are many kinds of food in the space, and you can find almost anything you want to eat.

Around 11:30, the three of them returned from outside.

After lunch, the sun was still blazing. Working outside at this time was tiring, but since there wasn't a rush, everyone decided to take a nap before continuing to work.

Humans aren't made of iron, and you can't just work all the time. You need to rest, otherwise even the best body will break down quickly.

Moreover, the entire spring plowing season lasts for about half a month, not just a day or two. Over such a long period, the physical depletion will definitely be severe.

Although Xu Han wanted to grow more grain, she also had to consider everyone's health and ability to cope...

Xu Han was half asleep when she heard Lu Chuan say, "Wife, we're going outside to plant sweet potatoes first. You stay home with the kids and come out after they wake up."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Han said and slowly sat up, taking a while to fully wake up.

Once she was fully awake, Xu Han didn't stay in bed anymore. She got up and tidied up the things in the room.

Then I went to the backyard to wash the clothes that Ze'er had wet that morning, otherwise they would start to smell after a while.

After Xu Han finished washing the clothes, Mu'er had already woken up, but Ze'er hadn't. Xu Han simply put Ze'er in the stroller and pushed him back towards the sweet potato field.

"You guys are pretty fast! You've planted so many in just half a day," Xu Han said with a smile.

“Girl, didn’t you say that these sweet potatoes can be used to make wine? Should we plant more?” As soon as the Taoist priest said this, everyone else looked at Xu Han with expectant expressions.

"There are about five acres of sweet potatoes here, which should be enough for us to eat, but definitely not enough if we want to make more wine."

But I'll make a little so you can try it. For everyday drinking, you can still spare some sweet potatoes for making wine.
