Han Datou's heart skipped a beat. He found it strange that everyone said sweet potatoes were good, so why didn't they grow more of them?
So that's how it is... Damn it, we're from the same village, how could they be so mean, not even telling me?
"You can plant sweet potatoes if you want, as long as you can guarantee that you and your family will not disturb my parents, I will agree to give you sweet potato seedlings."
"Don't even think about agreeing to my demands now and continuing to harass my parents. You know what I'm capable of; I don't even need to lift a finger. My horses alone can beat you all up."
Han Datou suddenly remembered the fierceness of Zhui Feng that day; that horse was wild and untamed, and its kicks were incredibly painful. And now, Han Lao's wife and Juhua still can't walk.
"I...I understand."
Han Datou said awkwardly, "It's fine if we don't bother Han Mingyuan and the others. Isn't there still Han Lenghua?"
If he's in trouble, he can go to his daughter.
"You shouldn't go to my aunt's place too often either."
As if she had seen through Han Datou's thoughts, Han Luoxue added a sentence.
"Actually, I would like to take my parents to the capital, but they don't want to leave here. Do you understand what I mean?"
Han Datou nodded hurriedly. If Han Mingyuan's family really went to the capital, where would he find someone?
“Snowy girl, what about your grandma…”
Although Grandma Han is now at home, she lives in seclusion. She has to avoid people even when she goes out to use the toilet, which is very inconvenient.
"random!"
It wasn't that she was soft-hearted, she just couldn't be bothered with it.
Han Datou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Han Datou had agreed.
It would be great if they could grow sweet potatoes.
"Little Xue, we're out of food at home. Could you give Grandpa some?"
Thinking back to the porridge I ate that day, it really was delicious!
"No!"
This person is really taking advantage of us. Letting him grow sweet potatoes is already a huge favor, and he still wants grain.
"I...can I trade with you for some?"
He had heard that these sweet potatoes take almost two months to mature. And their family's food supply definitely wouldn't last two months.
"Can!"
Han Luoxue had already traded with strangers in other towns, so she wouldn't miss out on Han Datou. However, she still kept an eye on things.
Han Datou was prepared. He pulled out a dirty little cloth bag from his pocket. He carefully opened it, revealing layers of tattered cloth, finally revealing a milky white jade pendant.
“This belongs to your mother. When your father brought her back, your grandmother helped her put it away.”
They said they put it away, but actually they hacked it.
Han Luoxue understood, but she didn't say anything. The Han family really were capable of such a thing.
When his father brought his mother back, he, a grown man, couldn't very well help her change her clothes.
He trusted Grandma Han, that's why he asked her for help, but...
Han Luoxue carefully took the jade pendant. It was a Buddha statue. The jade was of good quality and felt warm to the touch.
Could it be a piece of warm jade? If so, Mother's background is not simple either.
How much grain do you want to exchange?
The jade pendant originally belonged to my mother, so it was only right that she give it to me, but they obviously didn't think that way.
They wouldn't have taken the jade pendant back if they hadn't wanted to exchange it for food.
"Two hundred catties."
Hearing this number, Han Luoxue almost laughed.
The Han family doesn't know their stuff. This jade pendant is obviously not an ordinary item; it won't be cheap.
"For my father's sake, I'll give you the grain."
"Go get it from the village head later."
Han Luoxue hadn't expected to gain this much; when she asked her mother before, she was told there was no token.
In the blink of an eye, the token was delivered to their door.
"Xue'er, let me take a look at the jade pendant."
Han Yuchen accompanied her just now, but he didn't say a word.
"Um."
Han Luoxue handed it to him as she spoke. Han Yuchen took it, looked at it carefully, but couldn't figure out what it was about.
"It's a piece of warm jade, and this kind of jade is rare. It's expensive, and ordinary families really can't afford it."
Han Luoxue had also thought of this; she could only wait until she went to the capital to inquire about it.
The two returned to the courtyard, as they had to wait for the bamboo and would have to stay there for the night.
Everything was fine at home. Her parents knew she had returned to the village, so they were at ease letting her stay one more night.
After running around all day, Han Luoxue was a little tired.
The bedding on the kang (a heated brick bed) was a little damp. Just as she was about to lie down, Han Qiang came over and called to her:
"Xue girl, why don't you and Han Yuchen make do at my place tonight?"
Han Luoxue didn't want to cover herself with damp bedding, so she agreed.
She even went to check on the sweet potatoes. There weren't many leaves, but you could see the plump sweet potatoes underneath.
Although it's not very big yet, everyone in the village is a farmer, and experienced people can tell at a glance that there are quite a few sweet potatoes growing underneath.
"You take a rest first, and have something to eat here tonight."
Han Luoxue handed over the contents of the basket and smiled:
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
She secretly put it in; there were three catties of pork and five or six catties of millet flour.
As for the grain for the Han family, she hasn't had time to distribute it yet.
[Space upgrade complete. Planting area doubled, breeding area doubled, storage area doubled, crop harvest doubled card *5]
The upgrade was successful? Finally hearing the long-awaited voice, Han Luoxue was overjoyed. However, among the long list of rewards, there was none of the recovery pill she wanted most.
Han Luoxue was still waiting, and then she sent over packages of vegetable and grain seeds, as well as fruit tree seedlings.
Feeling a little disappointed, she recalled Han Yuchen's expectant gaze that day and felt unsure how to face him.
"Space, didn't you say you had recovery pills?"
The space remained silent, offering no response.
"What about the recovery pills that come with leveling up?"
Still playing dead.
Han Luoxue closed her eyes in disappointment. Looking at the space that had suddenly become much larger, she resigned herself to planting vegetables and grains first.
We'll need to cut the bamboo for a couple more days.
After dinner, Han Luoxue told Han Yuchen that the upgrade was complete.
"My leg won't heal so easily."
Seeing Han Luoxue's dejected look, like a wronged wife, Han Yuchen remained much calmer.
"Brother Chen, your face..."
His legs are temporarily beyond help, but if he keeps washing his face with the spiritual spring water, it should recover.
"There's no rush for this."
This scar is a form of protection for him, and he doesn't want to remove it for the time being.
"Then let's talk about it when you want to go."
Han Luoxue didn't insist. Han Kun wasn't home today; he went to see Li Aidi.
...
"Li Aidi, get up and do the laundry now, or I'll sell you."
The old woman's shoe sole struck Li Aidi hard. After Li Aidi returned, she was locked in the woodshed. She was only released when there was work to be done at home.
There was no food for her; after they all finished eating, they just gave her some dishwater to drink.
She was so hungry she was dizzy and had to work as a slave in her own home.
This attitude was completely different from when she used to bring things home.
Her sister-in-law kept her eyes glued to her, afraid she would slack off.
Li Aidi was washing clothes when her mother, Meng, rushed over.
