After digging this area, the group moved on to another location, led by He Yuhan.
The place where He Yuhan planted her things was basically deep in the mountains, where there were hardly any people around. So her plants went unnoticed and grew peacefully until now.
Looking around, He Zhenhua realized they were deep in the mountains. He grabbed He Yuhan's arm and asked, "Little sister, did you grow all these things yourself? This is deep in the mountains."
He Yuhan replied with a smile, "No way, Brother Han and I planted them together."
Then she turned to Han Yixian and said, "Brother Han, we planted all of these together, right?"
Han Yixian was utterly impressed by He Yuhan's ability to lie through her teeth. And every time she lied, she dragged him into it; he simply couldn't do anything about it.
Seeing the pleading look in He Yuhan's eyes, he had no choice but to lie along with her and cover for her.
He said without any change in expression, "Yes, Yuhan and I planted these seedlings together when we went into the mountains before. It's been so long since I've been here that I almost forgot where it is."
He Zhenhua gave Han Yixian a deep look, then turned to He Yuhan and said, "This place is deep in the mountains. Although it's relatively far out, it's still quite dangerous. I know you're very skilled, but you still need to be careful and not let your guard down. It would be better if someone came with you. You absolutely cannot come alone, do you understand?"
He Yuhan obediently replied, "Oh, I remember, big brother."
Huo Xicheng said, "Yuhan, if you want to go into the mountains in the future, it's best to have someone accompany you. Any one of us will do. Your second brother and I usually take separate vacations, so we can take turns going into the mountains with you. That way, it'll be safer."
He Zhendong chimed in, "Yes, little sister, Xicheng and I can take turns on vacation, and your older brother can take turns accompanying you into the mountains. You absolutely can't go into the mountains by yourself. Besides, Mom wouldn't feel comfortable with that."
Han Yixian, listening from the side, had a dark expression. They were not only going to ruin all the opportunities for him and Yu Han to be alone, but also to increase Huo Xicheng's opportunities to interact with Yu Han. How could that be allowed?
He quickly said, "Your time isn't as free as mine. If Yuhan wants to go into the mountains in the future, I can accompany her. It's not easy for you to take a vacation, so you should rest well."
He Yuhan added, "Yes, Second Brother, you guys are so busy in the team. You finally get a break, how can I waste it? Don't worry, I won't go into the deep mountains alone. I'll definitely have Brother Han accompany me."
After hearing He Yuhan's words, Han Yixian's face brightened and he smiled.
Around noon, He Yuhan took out the dry food she had brought, and the group had a picnic under a big tree.
Everyone enjoyed the scallion pancakes, meat sauce, boiled eggs, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
After lunch and some water, everyone rested for a bit before getting back to work.
Everyone worked all day and dug up potatoes and sweet potatoes in three different places. The harvest was quite good.
He Zhendong and his friends were amazed by the potatoes and sweet potatoes that the younger sister had planted.
Three places. Two for potatoes, one for sweet potatoes. After digging them all up, they piled up into three huge heaps, which looked quite impressive. Such a harvest was truly delightful.
They couldn't imagine how these things had grown like this. The size and quantity of potatoes and sweet potatoes on each vine exceeded their expectations. If the harvest was like this, would they still worry about going hungry?
He Zhendong asked the question naively, "Yuhan, this yield is too high! If this whole mountain were planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes, wouldn't everyone be able to go hungry?"
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Second brother, do you think I just planted these things randomly? The tall trees in the places I chose are not very dense, so the crops can get sunlight when planted."
Moreover, these locations are somewhat sunken, making the soil relatively more moist than other areas and less dry. Also, my seedlings were all carefully selected high-quality, high-yield varieties, and I applied sufficient fertilizer. Otherwise, how do you think they could have grown so big?
After listening to his younger sister's explanation, He Zhendong scratched the back of his head and said, "So there are so many intricacies involved. It's really not easy to meet all these conditions."
As the sun was about to set, everyone started moving the potatoes and sweet potatoes to the hillside, making it easier and safer to carry them home at night.
However, He Yuhan was forbidden from carrying things. A basket of potatoes or sweet potatoes is very heavy, and Han Yixian didn't want He Yuhan to suffer like that, so he was the first to stop her.
He Yuhan knew that the basket of potatoes was very heavy. If she wasn't afraid of being scolded, she would have secretly taken the things home using her spatial ability.
By the time they dumped the three large piles of potatoes and sweet potatoes at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark.
So everyone started bringing potatoes home.
Yu Huiru finally breathed a sigh of relief upon arriving home. She had already prepared dinner and quickly set the table for everyone to eat.
After filling their hungry stomachs, the men left He Yuhan at home and set off again. They didn't return home until midnight, carrying all the potatoes and sweet potatoes they had harvested from the mountains.
He Yuhan had already asked Han Yixian and Liu Gang to dig a cellar in a corner of the front yard, which was intended for storing winter vegetables. Now it was just right for storing potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Han Yixian and his men put the potatoes and sweet potatoes they had carried back directly into the cellar.
Today's harvest has almost filled the cellar.
After we finished, everyone quickly took a shower and rested, because we had to get up early to go into the mountains tomorrow.
It took two days of hard work to harvest all the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the mountains.
There were so many potatoes and sweet potatoes that the cellar couldn't hold them all, so they had to be piled up in the storage room and boiler room for the time being.
Yu Huiru was shocked by the sheer number of potatoes and sweet potatoes; it was the first time she had ever seen so much food.
With no other option, Han Yixian and his team dug a cellar in the backyard and managed to put the potatoes and sweet potatoes they had collected the next day into it.
As for the items still piled up in the storage room, He Yuhan planned to give them directly to her adoptive parents so they could put them in their cellar.
They also found many wild fruits in the mountains, and the group picked a lot of them to bring back as snacks for the children. He Yuhan planned to make jam from the leftovers to preserve them longer.
When He Yuhan returned from the mountains, she had hunted several pheasants and rabbits. When she got home, she asked Liu Gang and the others to clean them and stew a big pot of meat for her.
Her brothers and Han Yixian have been exhausted these past two days, so she needs to cook something delicious to reward them.
He Zhendong was disappointed that he didn't encounter any wild boars this time, otherwise he would have hunted at least two.
The wild boar we brought back last time was a treat for everyone, and many people are still thinking about it.
In these times, being able to eat wild boar meat is considered very lucky.
