"Come on, let's divide it up and eat it. We dried them for eating. After we finish eating, we can dry them again and save them." Xia Manni said as she divided the dried sweet potatoes and chestnuts equally among everyone.
"If you are really thirsty, collect some rainwater to drink, but don't drink too much." Xia Manni was worried that the children would develop gastrointestinal diseases if they drank too much.
