Besides, these yams aren't cheap, so buying them is definitely out of the question. But since they're homegrown, it's okay to eat some, right? And no one buys them as well as homegrown ones!
"We'll definitely plant a lot, so don't worry, I guarantee every household in the village will plant plenty!"
Li Dani blushed deeply, suppressing her embarrassment as she listened attentively, thinking to herself, "If it really works that well, maybe I should give some to my husband too?"
He's been noticeably less energetic than usual lately...
Shui Qing was glad she wasn't drinking water, otherwise she would have spat it out!
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Li Dani's sparkling eyes, and silently recalled that Chinese saying: "Any species that's associated with 'zhuang' (a euphemism for male genitalia) can be eaten into an endangered species."
Unexpectedly, this saying also applies to the Ming Dynasty.
However, it must be said that Bai Ling's commotion actually helped her inadvertently, saving her a lot of words of persuasion.
"Okay, then please go back and tell the women in the village that they've decided to come here to get the yam seeds."
Wang Guifen patted her chest and cheerfully assured them, "No trouble at all, I'll make sure the message gets through!"
Just as Shuiqing saw the tender shepherd's purse in the bamboo basket, and was about to ask where it was, she heard the sound of a gong.
The bell rang several times in a row, indicating that a guest had arrived.
"Strange, who would come?" Wang Guifen murmured.
Shui Qing wasn't surprised and laughed, "It's still the first month of the lunar calendar. Maybe some of the bride's family members have come to visit their daughter. That's normal."
Li Dani's initial excitement dimmed as she thought about herself.
Wang Guifen sighed silently, wanting to say something but holding back.
She was from the same village as her husband, Da Ni, whose relatives were no longer around. Shui Qing, however, had an exceptionally good family, and had never experienced the hardships faced by married women in the village.
Let alone when the world is in chaos, even in the past when the world was better, few women's families would take the initiative to come.
Most of the time, it's the women who bring New Year's gifts back home, and only a few families will come over to visit each other. Most of the time, they just eat whatever they send back, only complaining that their daughters don't bring back enough or as much as other families' daughters, making them, as parents, lose face in the village.
She handed over the basket of shepherd's purse and said, "Shuiqing, this is for you to use as dumpling filling. Keep it, I'm going to see which family has guests."
Shui Qing was overjoyed to receive such a large basket of shepherd's purse, and happily accepted it, saying, "I won't stand on ceremony, I'll just accept it."
Wait for me, I'll go in and empty the shepherd's purse, then I'll give you the basket; you can take it back with you.
When someone brings something over, she naturally can't leave with an empty basket. But if it's just a gift, Wang Guifen will run faster than a rabbit! But if she's asked to wait for the basket, she'll never leave.
Wang Guifen originally wanted to say that she could return the basket whenever she wanted, but then she thought that it wasn't worth making a special trip just for a basket, so she smiled and replied, "Okay, no rush, I'll just chat with Dani for a bit."
Shuiqing quickly entered the house, poured the shepherd's purse into a basin, and originally intended to put an egg in it, but ended up using sugar instead.
Wang Guifen and Li Dani were chatting outside the courtyard when they saw a large group of people surrounding a luxurious carriage walking towards them in the distance.
The two stood there, stunned.
