Village Chief Liu's tone also revealed a sense of impatience, wondering if Yu Qingshu could come to him for any good thing.
Yu Qingshu turned and looked at Village Chief Liu, muttering softly, "This is what happened, Village Chief Liu. I went to the slope behind and found something edible. It's big and sweet, and the portion is quite large. Originally, my family could have brought it back ourselves, but considering so many people are hungry, I came here specifically to tell you so that everyone can eat it."
After hearing this, Village Chief Liu's eyes became sharper.
His voice suddenly rose. "What you said is true. There really is a lot. Everyone can eat it."
If this is true, it can really save a lot of people.
There is a big gap between the rich and the poor in the village now. The rich are not that rich, but the poor are really poor.
Yu Qingshu put his finger to his lips and said, "Shh!" Village Chief Liu then covered his mouth, fearing that what he had just said would get out.
But the words had already been spoken, I don’t know why Village Chief Liu covered his mouth.
Yu Qingshu chatted with him briefly for a few more words, then sat aside waiting for Village Chief Liu to notify the others.
Soon the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Because Village Chief Liu had promised confidentiality, only one person in each household knew about it.
The courtyard of Village Chief Liu was now full of people, each holding something and curiously waiting for the Village Chief to speak.
"I don't know what's going on. It's so mysterious. I haven't even told my husband anything."
"Of course not. My mother keeps asking me about it. She's afraid I've been scammed. Why is this guy from the Yu family here? He can't be related to me, right? I tell you, it's bad luck to be associated with him. Are you leaving or not? I don't want to have anything to do with him anyway. I'm leaving."
"Hey, why did you come and leave? Didn't the village chief say there was good news?" The man who had just left was stopped by the person next door and asked curiously.
"Look for yourself, isn't that the Yu family's? It will be bad luck if you get involved with them. I have to go back to catch up on my sleep anyway." After the man said that, he walked away in a swagger. The others looked at each other and followed him one after another.
About ten people left at once, and the others were still patiently waiting for the village chief to speak.
Village chief Liu naturally saw those people leave, but he did not try to keep them. How could he be expected to keep a secret when he didn't even have that much patience?
Seeing that the time was almost up, Village Chief Liu coughed a few times and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. The people here all have difficult families. Some of them are even struggling to make ends meet.
You're here today for something, but it's a good thing. You must keep what you hear here, and what you need to do next, confidential. This will solve your immediate problem, and Brother Yu discovered this."
Village chief Liu did not keep the secret and asked Yu Qingshu to go and talk in person.
Yu Qingshu held up a washed sweet potato in his hand and said, "This is what I want to say. Do you see what I have in my hand?
I went to the mountain behind and found these "sweet potatoes." They're big, round, and edible. I'm telling you all about this because I know it's not easy for everyone. And I can guarantee everyone will get a share and can take them home. There's just one thing I want everyone to know: keep it a secret until you dig it up.
The sweet potato in Yu Qingshu's hand was the one he had just taken when he had the chance. After all, no one would believe empty words.
As soon as Yu Qingshu said this, the crowd below started to explode.
"Oh my God, it really is a miracle that there is food. I will keep it a secret and never tell anyone." A skinny man fell to the ground, crying and laughing.
His little daughter had been sold a few days ago because she had no food. Now that he suddenly heard that there was food, he also hoped to find his child.
"Is what Village Chief Liu said true? Do we really have food to eat?" The person who spoke was an old woman. Her family was too poor, and her son, who was in his thirties, couldn't find a partner.
If this thing is really edible, she would get it back at all costs.
"Village Chief Liu, please take us there quickly. We all believe what you say. Don't worry, if anyone leaks it, I will fight him to the death." A young man named Goudan spoke very sincerely.
Yu Qingshu didn't want to waste too much time, so he continued, "The other people with us are from the village I went to before. I've already told them. Now everyone, just follow me over there to meet up with them. We can go together."
Yu Qingshu walked through the crowd and led a group of people towards his home.
At the gate of Yu Qingshu's courtyard, He Qiang and his fellow villagers had been waiting there for a long time.
This time, let Yu Qingqing take it there, otherwise they won’t recognize it even if they find it.
Yu Qingshu and his men quickly arrived at the door of the house, and then the group walked to the back in a mighty manner.
The sun was shining brightly at the moment and almost no one was hanging around outside, so Yu Qingshu and the others were not worried about meeting other people.
Based on her memory, Yu Qingqing quickly arrived at the sweet potato field. A large patch of sweet potato leaves were wilting under the sun.
Yu Qingqing pointed to a sweet potato field at the bottom of the slope and said happily, "Dad, village chief, look, this is it. We've arrived. There are sweet potatoes stretching as far as the eye can see."
Yu Qingshu was simply shocked by the scene before him. How many sweet potatoes were there?
He Qiang, Village Chief Liu and the others looked bewildered, staring at Yu Qingshu and his daughter with wide eyes.
Village Chief Liu asked with some disbelief: "Isn't this just an ordinary plant, with all leaves? It's different from the one you just saw. Did you make a mistake?"
As soon as Village Chief Liu said this, everyone else also sighed.
"Yeah, you're not trying to make fun of us. Who has the time to play with you in such hot weather?" The people who didn't see Hongshu complained and thought Yu Qingshu was definitely playing a joke on them.
"That's right, that's right! You have to give us an explanation for coming all the way here in such hot weather. You have free time, but we don't." Another woman grumbled unsatisfactorily.
"All of you shut up and listen to what Brother Yu has to say first. You are all in such a hurry, as if you are just trying to reincarnate!" Seeing that Yu Qingshu's face was not very good, Village Chief Liu quickly scolded those who were saying sour words.
Yu Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief Liu. I won't lie to you."
Yu Qingqing squatted down and started digging, and Yu Qingshu also went to help.
Soon a big, round sweet potato was successfully born.
"Oh my god, it's actually this big! And so round!"
