Chapter 162 Old Man Xie is Here Again
Taozhi nodded. Aunt Huang carried the basket and said, "Let's go to the fields. I'll buy you some sweet potatoes. They were given to you by Ergou's friends. They're big and sweet, but you can't eat too much. It makes you bloated..."
Taozhi took a look at the licorice and hurriedly followed her with the basket.
The two of them walked along the road, passing by many houses in the village, but on this sunny day, not many people were at home.
When she passed by Liu Guizhuang's house, she heard a woman crying inside.
Taozhi was a little confused. Dongmei was dead, Xia Taoyin was gone too, and this woman was...
That’s right!!
That day she saw Liu Shuqi and a woman under an old tree at the entrance of the village.
"You heard, Liu Guizhuang is no longer the village chief."
Aunt Huang picked up a bamboo, plucked off all the leaves, and used it as a walking stick. As she walked, she said, "I heard he wants to marry a young woman."
Taozhi was surprised. Is there such a thing?!
This is really shocking gossip!
Aunt Huang said, "This family is really strange. Accidents happen one after another. Now Shu Qi is lying at home half-dead. Sigh..."
Taozhi didn't care what happened to Liu Shuqi. Anyway, it seemed that those people could no longer disturb her life, so that was good.
Following Aunt Huang, they worked on the land. This was a sand dune area that they had reclaimed themselves, and the villagers turned a blind eye. After all, they couldn't work but had to make a living, so they could only grow crops on their own, and the villagers were not too strict.
The two of them picked a lot of sweet potato vines in the field. These sweet potatoes have strong survival ability, and they will be sweeter when planted in the sand dunes.
As long as you plant the soil with their rhizomes, they will grow a lot of sweet potatoes in late autumn.
It is a little late to plant peach branches now, but they can be harvested in early winter.
Aunt Huang followed her around and busied herself with picking a basket of sweet potato vines before returning home.
I also picked a lot of tender leaves from the peach branch, which I can use to cook for Xie Yan in the evening.
That guy is really not picky about food at all, he can eat everything cleanly.
After saying goodbye to her second aunt and returning home, she dug up the vacant land next to her and planted sweet potatoes.
After planting, they cut bamboos from the river and pulled them back, cut them into bamboo strips, and used them to enclose the area where the vegetables were planted.
After doing all this, she drank all the porridge and continued to chop bamboo to make a small chicken coop.
Fence off the rabbit's habitat as well.
It was already dark when she finished all this. Her waist was a little sore, so she prepared the meals and waited for Xie Yan to come back.
However, Xie Yan had not returned yet, so he waited for Xie Jinqiao.
Taozhi didn't expect him to come. He stood at the door and smiled like a naughty boy. He looked much better than yesterday.
He came in carrying wine, dishes and rice in a large lunch box. He brought a driver with him that day and no bodyguards.
"What's this?" Tao Zhi took the things from him and said, "Xie Yan hasn't finished get off work yet. He might be on his way."
He chuckled: "No hurry, no hurry."
He looked around and said, "Hey, why do I feel like things have changed so much? When I came here yesterday, there wasn't anything like this, right?"
He looked at the small house next to him. Beyond that was the house next door. There were two houses connected together, and there were several fenced-off areas in the yard next door.
Taozhi poured him some water and said, "I was bored at home, so I cleaned up a bit. There's a lot of open space over there, and the village doesn't need it, so I dug it up and planted some vegetables. Now that we're eating separately, I have to figure out how to make the vegetables myself."
