"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!"
The two brothers were panting heavily from climbing the mountain.
Only Yue Jiuyue, although her breathing was uneven, was not to this extent.
After finally getting home, the two brothers didn't even have time to sit down and catch their breath. They immediately started looking for hoes and digging holes to plant the corn stalks they had painstakingly carried back from the mountains.
The name "corn" was also uttered by Yue Jiuyue.
Yue Jiuyue never stopped the brothers from digging up or planting corn stalks.
It's good for young people to have ideas, even if they're wrong. It's just a waste of their energy, but it lets them know whether or not their ideas will work.
If the cost of trial and error is low, then let's try whatever we want.
"Little Big Big, what is this?"
Little Man'er saw the two uncles busy, ran over, and stood aside to ask.
"This is corn, an edible grain. We just tasted it all, and it's sweet. It's just that we were too late; someone from the village picked all the other corn. Your grandma said she'll cook two for us to try tonight, and we'll dry the rest. We'll grind half into cornmeal and see if it's good. If it is, we'll keep the other half as seeds and plant it next year!"
Lin Chaobei spoke such a long speech that little Man'er didn't understand a word he said. She only remembered one sentence, or rather, three words: "cook two." She then happily went to share the good news with her mother.
Looking at his silly, happy niece, Lin Chaobei's own face broke into the same silly grin.
Corn tastes so good even raw, it must be especially delicious cooked!
Sure enough, an aroma comparable to that of sweet potatoes wafted from the covered pot, lingering around everyone's noses and tempting them to forget their work. One by one, they unconsciously ran into the main room, chuckling foolishly as they waited for the corn to be cooked.
Liu was speechless. Even when her mother-in-law cooked sweet potatoes for the first time, these three brothers didn't shamelessly crowd over like that!
The three brothers: ㄟ(▔，▔)ㄏ
Back then, they were afraid that sweet potatoes were poisonous!
It's all because I was young and ignorant back then, and didn't know how delicious sweet potatoes were.
There were three ears of corn boiling in the pot. We each ate half an ear. They were too hot, so we used chopsticks to hold them in place. Everyone ate them with great enjoyment.
"Sweet! Delicious!"
Little Man thinks there's so much delicious food at home this year! Sweet potatoes and sweet corn, she's so happy!
Children have small appetites; half an ear of corn is enough to fill them up. And because the weather is getting cooler, food can be stored for longer, so there's always food at home. Little Man can eat sweet potatoes whenever she's hungry.
Half an ear of corn is just a taste for adults, but delicious things are just delicious. If it weren't for wanting to try what cornmeal rice tastes like, Lin Chaobei would have cooked and eaten the whole ear of corn.
"The corn is so delicious! We must plant more next year!"
Everyone else laughed as they watched him fool around.
“Little Man’s mother, I bought a piece of cloth in town today. Please cut it out according to Little Man’s measurements. After they sell sweet potatoes for a few more days, I’ll go to town to buy some kapok wadding to make a cotton-padded coat for Little Man. You can do the same! I plan to make a cotton-padded coat for myself this winter. If I earn more money, I’ll make a cotton-padded quilt for myself too!”
While everyone was happy, Yue Jiuyue announced an even happier decision.
