Li Shenggen was using a branch to show Li Chengcai where to start building their new home.
Li Chengcai asked, "Brother, should we take this opportunity to split up the family?"
"Separation?"
The two had actually discussed this issue for a long time, but it was interrupted by the flood three months ago.
It is indeed a good opportunity to bring it up now.
The problem was that their mother was behaving badly at the time and they were unwilling to take care of her, so they thought of dividing the family.
My mother is much more sensible now. If we really want to divide the family, what will she do?
"At least married couples should live separately. The third and fourth children are married but still don't have children because it's inconvenient. I think we should build a bigger house for Mom first so we can all live in it. Next year, each of us should build a yard."
Li Chengcai's words made sense, and Li Shenggen nodded.
"I need to discuss this matter with my mother before making a decision. Anyway, let's build a big house first, big enough for our family to live in."
The two discussed the location of the house again. It must face north and south and be spacious and bright.
After a while, I heard my mother calling for dinner.
"Has mom cooked?"
"That's rare. Let's go, big brother."
The four daughters-in-law had already built all the shacks, and even the younger ones were busy moving things from the car. In just half a day, the wasteland became bustling.
There are now fifteen people in the village chief's family, including three sons, daughters-in-law, and seven children.
The four shacks were also erected.
They didn't have much food left, so they simply cooked some porridge. Each of them held a bowl and sipped it.
The village chief looked over here and muttered, "Marrying the prince, the Li family's blessings are still to come. We are able to settle down here, thanks to them."
"Dad, what are they eating? It smells so good!"
"Why do you care what they eat? After we finish the porridge, we'll go to sleep. Things are different now. Your father and I are no longer the village chief. Let's save money and wait for next spring. Then we can rent some land from the Li family and find a way to make a living."
Back at the military camp, the logistics soldiers were naturally more skilled than the farmers. They also used military tents and were extremely fast. They had finished dinner and were resting.
Even though it's just a team of a hundred people, it still requires a lot of people to work, including the people and horses.
"What's that smell? Do you smell it?"
Hong Jiu smelled a sweet scent coming from the farmer's camp nearby.
"I smell it! It's like sweet grain. I've never smelled anything like it before."
“So sweet!”
Others were too embarrassed to go over because they had been ordered not to contact the farmers at will, for fear that the farmers would be scared.
Hong Jiu was so tempted by the smell that he tossed and turned and couldn't lie down. Finally, he got up and walked over there.
"Mom, take a rest and I'll serve the meal." Wang Juanhua walked over quickly. She usually cooked, but today she was busy setting up the tent too late. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to have already prepared the meal.
"Auntie, I have built a shack for you. Sit down for a while. Sister-in-law, I'll help you too." Lan Miao also got busy. She now considered herself a member of this family, and she worked with Wang Juanhua in a very professional manner.
Wang Juanhua scooped up the sweet potato rice and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Mom, what's that orange stuff in the pot? It smells so good!"
"This is called sweet potato. The prince found it in the Chamber of Commerce and gave it to me." Wang Yi lied without blinking. There was no point in doubting it anyway, and they would not ask the prince.
"Given by the prince? It must be a good thing."
Wang Juanhua swallowed secretly. Her stomach had been feeling burning in the past few days, but she didn't expect that the smell of sweet potatoes would make her feel hungry again.
The family members gathered around and sat on the ground. Each person was given a large bowl of sweet potato rice with a spoonful of fried bacon and cucumber on top.
"Mom, this is so sweet! So delicious!" Li Qubing scooped a spoonful of sweet potato into his mouth, his eyes lighting up as he said in surprise.
"Sweet potatoes? I don't know how to grow them, or what the yield is." Li Shenggen now thinks of farming everything he sees. This year's planting season has passed. Once the fields are cleared, perhaps he can plant some vegetables and trade them for food in the city. But he's afraid the food won't grow.
"The fruits look similar to those among the leaves I picked up. It should be a large yield." Wang Yi patted the package that she carried with her all day. The sweet potatoes and potato seedlings in it were growing very well. Even when she was carrying people on her back, she had no idea how many times she had dug and replaced them.
"Then let's not eat the rest. Let's try planting some." Li Chengcai took a look and saw that there was still a big bag full in the car.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Wang Yi was not in a hurry. They had already eaten the sweet potatoes, so they would definitely miss them. As long as they were thinking about them, she would find a way to bring them out.
After a full meal, Wang Yi relaxed when he saw the system prompt that the task was completed.
Another 10 square meters of permanent land!
She now owns 30 square meters of permanent land, which is about the size of a yard on the first floor of a modern residential complex.
The three pieces of land are connected, and she now uses one piece to grow herbs, one piece to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the other piece to grow corn and glutinous rice.
Crops on permanent land grow very fast, especially common crops. Today's corn and glutinous rice are already ripe.
What a shame, if she could just take it out, she could nibble on some corn or something.
With a stretch of the fire stick, Wang Yi pulled out a number of round gray fat men from the ashes.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Li Qubing kept staring at his mother and saw her take out a few round objects from the hot ashes and then blew on them to peel them open easily.
The soft and tender orange interior was revealed from the gray charcoal shell, and a strange sweet aroma instantly rushed out, capturing his taste buds in an instant.
"Go away, eat this! These are the sweet potatoes I baked. I baked a lot, so there's one for everyone!"
Baked sweet potatoes?
Although the family had already eaten, they couldn't help but gather around when they heard this word, and even the fire was almost extinguished by the crowd.
"Come, peel one of the silk flowers for Yuan'er, and you can eat it too."
Wang Yi used a wooden stick to push the sweet potatoes in front of each person one by one. Soon the whole family was holding the hot sweet potatoes and blowing on them carefully.
When the shell is peeled off, no one can resist the sweetness anymore. The sugary liquid that flows out is shining with the light of the fire, making the sweet potato even more tempting.
"Mom, this smells so good!"
"Grandma, it smells good!"
"Filial piety +26."
"The remaining filial piety value is 90 points."
This time, even Yuan'er added two points of filial piety, and Wang Yi couldn't help but feel relieved.
As expected, when it comes to food, no one can resist roasted sweet potatoes.
There is a low wall behind Wang Yi.
Just when everyone was happily eating the roasted sweet potatoes, suddenly, a figure rushed out from behind the low wall, snatched a roasted sweet potato and ran away.
"ah!"
Wang Yi screamed subconsciously in fear.
Li Shenggen and Jin Baoyinbao quickly stood up: "Who?"
Li Chengcai had already picked up a thick wooden stick and walked towards the low wall.
