Everyone likes to take advantage of small things.
This is especially true for the old women in the village.
Don't say that Sanmao said these sweet potatoes were delicious, just like eating fruit.
Even if they didn't say it, they would still grab a couple more sweet potatoes to eat if given the chance.
This is grain.
If you eat out, you'll eat less when you get home.
This is a way of saving food for the family.
So, in a flurry of activity, they were quickly captured and taken away with a pile of sweet potatoes.
The old woman wasn't afraid of getting dirty; she wiped the sweet potato on her clothes and started eating.
Upon tasting it, the old woman's eyes lit up: "Delicious, so delicious!"
"Is this still a sweet potato? If all sweet potatoes taste like this, crisp and sweet, what are we complaining about?"
Of course, that's one way of saying it.
But eating this every day can get boring.
This was simply the first time they had tasted such delicious sweet potatoes, so they subconsciously thought so.
Everything in moderation; once you overdo it, even the most delicious food will become unpalatable.
After finishing a sweet potato, the aunties' eyes lit up as they looked at the load of sweet potatoes that Sanmao was carrying.
Sanmao seemed to feel that these aunties all had eyes like the eyes of the wolves he had seen by chance when he was a child.
Green and serene.
"Don't come any closer! This is a new variety that the brigade leader and Secretary Gu developed; it's meant to be used as seed."
Sanmao's words had no effect.
The aunties all rushed over to grab the sweet potatoes.
Such delicious food, of course they had to take it back to their families.
However, their actions were destined to fail.
What are you doing?
Gu Hanping's gloomy voice came through.
He and Gu Yunyang tried every possible way to get more grain for the brigade.
They are all extremely anxious because they have to pay an extra 50 jin of grain per mu this year.
They finally came up with a solution, and with Gu Yunyang using his connections, they managed to get the new variety of sweet potato seeds.
They were thinking of ways to save some grain for the brigade and store more grain.
These old women don't listen to any instructions at all.
This is going to disrupt all their plans.
Sanmao's words were useless; the aunties weren't afraid.
They even dared to lay hands on Sanmao.
But they wouldn't dare to do that to Gu Hanping.
"Captain."
"Captain, we..."
Gu Hanping glanced around, snorted coldly, and said, "Why don't you all put them down? Look at the evidence still stuck in your mouths. Honestly, our brigade cadres are all anxious and worried about having to pay an extra fifty catties of grain per mu this year."
It wasn't easy for Secretary Gu to get these sweet potato seeds. They're delicious, crisp, and sweet, and can supplement our food supply.
What are you doing?
Are they going to eat all the seeds?
The sweet potatoes have all been dug up, and they all need to be handed over to the brigade headquarters.
Should we weigh the seedlings first, and then find a plot of land to start seedling cultivation?
As it turns out, the weighing wasn't even over yet.
Are these aunties going to take them all home?
"What are you doing? Are you trying to steal the brigade's grain?"
No, no.
A group of aunties awkwardly put down the sweet potato seeds, their eyes still showing some reluctance.
Gu Yunyang followed the uncle next to him down the road; the uncle was also carrying a load of sweet potatoes.
This plot of land yielded only three loads of sweet potatoes.
