After catching her breath, Yun Xiaoxiao saw that Yuan Shitou had been beaten up again for no reason.
He stood by, holding Dog Egg, watching him make a fool of himself.
Yuan Shitou saw Xiao Xiao laughing so hard she collapsed to the side, and a simple, honest smile appeared on his face as well.
As long as he's a little happy, he doesn't mind getting a beating.
Anyway, my mother wasn't very strong, so the beating didn't hurt much.
When Yuan's mother saw her son's foolish behavior, she couldn't be bothered to hit him anymore.
Turning to Yun Xiaoxiao, he asked, "Xiaoxiao, why were you running just now? Did the stone bully you?"
“Mother, Brother Stone didn’t bully me.”
I just remembered something, so I came back to find you.
Stone Brother must have seen me come back, so he followed me back.
He really didn't bully me.
Yun Xiaoxiao kept emphasizing that she just had something to do, and that Yuan Shitou was not bullying her.
Curious, Mrs. Yuan asked, "What's wrong? Why are you running so fast?"
“Mother, I came back to ask you for potato seeds.”
"We'll plant it in the rice stubble holes, and soon we'll have fresh potatoes to eat."
Mother Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "You can grow potatoes in a rice stubble hole? I've never heard of that before!"
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, yes, that's how we grow it where we're from."
Yuan Shitou listens to Yun Xiaoxiao about everything.
Hearing her say that, he said to Mother Yuan, "Mother, why don't we take some potatoes and try it?"
Yuan's mother was a woman of action; she quickly filled a basket with potato seeds and went to the field with them.
They kept small potatoes for seed, so there was no need to cut them open.
Yuan Shitou's hoe is still in the field.
The drainage ditch has been dug and the water has been mostly drained.
Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to go down and demonstrate for them.
Yuan Shitou stopped him.
"You stay up there, just tell me what to do, and I'll do it."
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't insist. Anyway, with Yuan Shitou and his mother around, they wouldn't let her go to the fields.
He took a potato, squatted on the edge of the field, and dug out a hole in a grain stalk.
Place the potato in the middle, then close it up again.
Yuan's mother and Yuan Shitou kept watching her.
Seeing Zhuang ask at the same time, "Is that all?"
It's so simple, why don't they believe it?
Don't waste the potato seeds.
Yuan Shitou ignored his mother.
He stuffed potatoes into each grain stalk without a second thought.
Yuan's mother wanted to stop him, feeling that it was somewhat unreliable.
Yuan Shitou acted very quickly.
While putting the potatoes in the pan, she comforted Yuan's mother: "Mother, you should trust Xiaoxiao. She won't do anything reckless."
Mother Yuan sighed. What else could she say?
Yun Xiaoxiao stood on the edge of the field with Gou Dan, watching the mother and son working in the field.
Yuan Min happened to be carrying a basket on her back and asked curiously:
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
What did Brother Stone and Auntie put in there? Wait, is that a potato?
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, it's a potato."
Yuan Min wanted to stop them, but seeing how many they had already placed, she felt it was a pity.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you putting the potatoes in there? They'll spoil."
Yun Xiaoxiao squatted beside a grain stump and told her:
"Look, this potato is placed here, still some distance from the bottom."
Therefore, it will not be damaged by water.
On the contrary, it will sprout inside, and then grow into a lot of potatoes.
This way we can have fresh potatoes to eat.
Yuan Min was surprised: "What you said makes a lot of sense, and I will do the same."
After saying that, he ran off like a gust of wind.
Yuan's mother and Yuan Shitou also heard what Xiaoxiao said to Yuan Min.
Now we can finally plant potatoes without any worries.
Yuan Min jogged all the way, afraid of missing the opportunity.
Fan Tiesheng would go to see her every day, and seeing her running so hurriedly, he would quickly call out:
"Minmin, why are you running?"
Yuan Min glanced at him and said, "I have something to say, so I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
Fan Tiesheng caught up with her in a few steps: "Minmin, who bullied you?"
Tell me, and I'll go beat him up.
Yuan Min was a little anxious: "Oh dear, no one is bullying me anymore."
I'm going back to plant potatoes.
Fan Tiesheng was even more confused: "Why plant potatoes?"
The two of them had already run home.
Yuan Min packed a lot of potato seeds into her basket.
Fan Tiesheng simply carried it on his back.
Looking at Yuan Min, he asked, "What's next?"
Yuan Min took a hoe and led him to her own field.
Following the example of Xiaoxiao and the others, they dug a ditch and drained the water.
Then they started planting potatoes.
Of course, digging ditches and draining water was Fan Tiesheng's job; she was only responsible for planting potatoes.
While planting potatoes, Yuan Min told Fan Tiesheng what Xiao Xiao had told her.
Fan Tiesheng was a quick-witted person.
I think this method is good.
Besides, he inexplicably felt that Yun Xiaoxiao was full of clever ideas.
We need to keep a close eye on her and learn from her; our family's circumstances will definitely be better than they are now.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yuan Min asked, "Brother Tiesheng, do you want to plant this kind of thing at home too?"
Fan Tiesheng nodded: "Plant them. After you finish planting yours, I'll go back and tell my father."
Most households in the village have paddy fields.
However, there aren't many; the largest is the village chief's family, which only owns a little over one mu (approximately 0.16 acres).
Most of the fields here were left by the older generation.
It wasn't something they received as their own.
In this day and age, land has not yet been distributed to individual households.
Just like in ancient times, you still have to use money to buy it.
Many families are unwilling to spend money and mostly clear the land themselves.
Plant some corn and sweet potatoes, just enough to eat.
Anyway, apart from taxes, I can barely make ends meet.
Of course, there were also people who had no food to eat and went hungry.
Those are mostly people whose family members are lazy and don't like to do housework.
Like Yuan Shitou's family, both Yuan's mother and Yuan Shitou are hardworking people.
When Yuan's father's legs were healthy, he often went into the mountains to collect stones and sell them.
Their family is quite well-off.
Later, a series of incidents occurred, and he bought Yun Xiaoxiao, which led to him accumulating a huge debt.
Other villagers also witnessed Yuan Shitou and his group's actions today.
Everyone thought they were being delusional.
That's not how you grow potatoes! There's no soil at all, so the potatoes won't all be green.
After Yuan Shitou and his men placed potatoes on each grain stalk.
Yun Xiaoxiao then told them to cover all the rice stalks with straw.
When she got home, Yun Xiaoxiao made a special trip to Yuan Min's field.
Tell them to cover all the straw stalks with straw.
The matter even reached the village chief.
After the village chief came to see it, he thought it made a lot of sense.
Anyone who is willing can learn to grow it.
Then he went home and called his son, and they planted their own too.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't care about any of that; she'd let them plant if they wanted.
Fan Xiaohua has been feeling down these past few days.
I followed Yuan Shitou and the others to pick mushrooms.
She made several trips but couldn't find anyone, so she got angry and threw away her basket.
After returning home, she complained to Fan's mother that Fan Tiesheng wouldn't let her go with him.
This angered Fan's mother so much that she gave Fan Tiesheng another good scolding.
Fan Tiesheng felt incredibly wronged.
He didn't do anything, so how come it's happening to him so soon?
He would yell at Fan Xiaohua whenever he saw her, and almost got physical with her.
This matter also alarmed Mr. Fan.
When he learned the reason, he gave Fan Xiaohua a complicated look but said nothing.
That evening, he told Fan's mother to find a family to marry Fan Xiaohua off.
