"Everyone has seen how the sweet potatoes are doing. Although they haven't been harvested yet, I believe it won't be long before we have a bumper harvest, right?"
Han Qiang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the sweet potatoes have grown quite a bit. Once they're bigger, the yield will be quite high."
"This plant can't reproduce on its own, and cutting the seedlings and transplanting them won't work either. Grandpa Village Head, do you think we should increase the planting area first?"
"I'm going to the capital in a few days and may not be back for a while. You can discuss it with them. I'm going up the mountain now, and you can give me a definite answer when I get back this afternoon."
Increase planting? Han Qiang's eyes lit up:
"Little Xue, do you have sweet potato seedlings again?"
"Yes, there are some. Grandpa Village Head, actually, even after our sweet potatoes are harvested, other places still won't have enough to eat. If we can't eat them all, we can take them outside to sell. That way, everyone can earn a little more money, don't you think?"
To sell it outside? To make more money?
Han Qiang had never imagined that things could be done this way. But Xue Yatou was right; anything edible was valuable these days, and sweet potatoes were a good source of food.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with them right away."
Han Luoxue and the others went into the mountains, while Han Qiang couldn't wait to gather everyone in the village.
This time it was the entire village, not just a few team leaders.
He repeated Han Luoxue's words, adding at the end:
"Everyone has planted some sweet potato vines with Xueya. As you can see, sweet potatoes don't need much water. Even if they do, we can carry water over to irrigate them. Now that everyone is putting in a little more effort, what will happen later? As Xueya said, if we can't eat them all, we can sell them and earn some money. That would be great."
The principle is that simple, and everyone who has planted it knows it well, so they all agree.
"What's a little bit of underwater work? Even if I don't go out to sell myself, I'd be happy as long as I don't starve."
"Xue is such a good girl. She's the only one who always thinks of us when she has something good."
“My land can be planted with all of it, but I don’t know how many seedlings Xueya has.”
...
Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, but the Han family, who had secretly followed along, could only pretend to be mute and dared not say a word.
Han Qiang also saw the Han family members. He wasn't blind, but he pretended not to see them.
He knew that the Mingyuan family disliked the Han family, but they were family after all, blood was thicker than water. As an outsider, he couldn't do too much.
He now only hopes that the Han family will behave themselves and stop causing trouble.
Seeing everyone discussing animatedly, Han Qiang coughed loudly and shouted:
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and let me finish. Xue'er has gone into the mountains and will be back later. This matter needs to be settled now. I see that most people have no objections, so let's first calculate how much we need."
"Let me clarify first, I don't know how many seedlings Xueyatou has, but no matter how many there are, I will distribute them reasonably according to the number everyone has mentioned."
"By the way, there aren't many sweet potato vines left, so we can only grow them ourselves and can't give them away."
This is a treasure that Xueya gave to their village; it can't be given to other villages.
"I definitely won't give it away."
"Xue is a good girl, how could we be so ungrateful as to give away her feelings?"
"Yes, I plan to plant all the land in my house."
"Me too……"
...
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Han Qiang's face lit up with a big smile.
"Uncle Qiang, I wanted to ask, can Xue Yatou still exchange for grain?"
Although information flow is somewhat blocked at this point, someone still needs to get out.
The villagers also knew about what was happening outside, and they never expected that Han Luoxue had so much grain.
They didn't know where the food came from; they only knew they had enough to eat. They even wanted to exchange it for a little more.
"I didn't ask her that. Is your family running out of food again?"
The person asking the question nodded quickly, and some others nodded frantically as well.
"We'll ask her when she gets back later."
Han Qiang didn't refuse. How could he not take good care of such a capable person who had emerged in the village?
What moved him even more was that Xue was not only capable, but also had a conscience. She had never forgotten them.
"Han Qiang".
Han Datou was also envious as he watched everyone sign up. He carefully stayed close to Han Qiang and pleaded:
"Could you add my home address?"
"You should ask Xueya about that."
Anyone in the village could take it, but Han Qiang dared not make the decision for the Han family on his own.
"I dare not."
That brat is too strange now. When she looked at him, Han Datou felt his legs trembling.
"Hey, actually, no matter what, you're still family. Talk to her nicely and tell her not to cause trouble in front of her anymore. Xue is soft-hearted and will definitely forgive you."
Han Qiang offered a word of advice, saying that every family has its own troubles, and that was all he could do.
I wonder if Han Datou will listen to me.
...
Han Ruoxue went directly to Aunt Hu's place, where they had met last time, and released the little tiger cub from her spatial storage.
Suddenly, a small tiger appeared before him. Han Yuchen's pupils contracted sharply, but his expression remained calm as he asked indifferently:
"You stole someone else's child?"
There's only one tigress around here, and last time he hit a cub to save Han Luoxue. This must be one of them.
The tiger cub, just released, looked rather dazed. Suddenly realizing it was in a different place, it let out an innocent meow.
Han Yuchen...
Han Luoxue has corrupted the little tiger; despite being the king of the mountains, he's learned to meow like a cat.
Go find your parents.
Han Luoxue patted the little tiger's head; this guy was quite clever.
It wagged its tail happily, looked up at Han Luoxue, and then refused to leave.
"Um, don't you miss your mother?"
roar……
With a tiger's roar, Han Yuchen's body involuntarily tensed up.
Han Luoxue remained calm; Aunt Hu should know they were coming.
Sure enough, four figures came running over like the wind from not far away.
Han Luoxue looked at Han Yuchen's calm demeanor and secretly admired him.
This guy is much braver than me. Last time, she was so scared that she climbed a tree!
“These are his relatives.”
Han Yuchen nodded in understanding.
When Aunt Hu and the others came over and saw that there were strangers, they even yelled at Han Yuchen.
Han Yuchen remained calm, while the two large tigers circled around the tiger cub.
Han Luoxue didn't waste any words and took out a wooden basin to give them water first.
Sure enough, as soon as the water came out, Aunt Hu and the others forgot about catching up and immediately drank the water from the basin.
Watching them happily drink water, Han Luoxue smiled and said:
"Aunt Tiger, I might have to leave for a while and won't be able to come see you, so I'm bringing the child back to you. But he's growing up quite well, look how strong he is now!"
