"Dad, is this the craft passed down from grandpa?"
"No, I learned it from an old man in the village when I was a kid. Your grandfather sent me there specifically to be an apprentice. Being an apprentice means helping people with their work and learning from them when I have free time."
Zhu Huamao came to the village on a bicycle.
They came to pick up Li Xiangxia and take her back to the county town.
"Brother Li, what a coincidence! I came here the day before yesterday and didn't have time to say hello to you."
"If you don't remember what you said, sit down and chat."
"Forget it, I have to hurry back to work."
"Okay, then go to your mother-in-law's house and we'll talk later when we have time."
Li Mingqing didn't know why Zhu Huamao always acted like a little fanboy every time he saw him, and they didn't say much.
In fact, Zhu Huamao heard about his award-winning and life-saving experience in the county and was very impressed.
He had also seen him in the newspaper, which made him admire Li Mingqing even more.
Li Dahua went to the village entrance to see Li Xiangxia and her husband off.
He warned: "Live a good life. It's normal to have some bumps and bruises. My daughter, especially you, don't be so willful."
"Oh, I see."
She wanted to go talk to Li Mingqing, but Li Dahua held her arm tightly, so she had to give up.
If Zhu Huamao were here, she would have called for help long ago.
Li Dahua finally breathed a sigh of relief after the two left.
Finally she left. She had been living in fear here all day long.
"Mingqing, where is your mother?"
"He's not at home. I don't know where he went to visit."
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Old Lady Li coming back with a small basket.
"Where have you been?"
"I went to Hongbin's house. Why are you here?"
"I came to see Xiang Xia off. I wanted to chat with you, but you weren't home. What's in the basket?"
"I went to Hongbin's house to exchange some sweet potatoes for growing sweet potato seedlings next year."
Old man Li said, "Hongbin's sweet potatoes are well-grown. The sweet potatoes they grow are delicious and much sweeter than those grown in the village."
"Why haven't I heard of it? If I had known, I would have gone to ask for some."
"Let's go change it next year. Hongbin's family only has a few sweet potato seeds left."
"Okay, I'll get some sweet potato seedlings from you in the spring. Don't hold on to them and be reluctant to give them to me then."
"I don't have many, but I'm willing to give away a dozen or twenty seedlings."
Li Mingqing took a sweet potato and placed it in the black soil in the space without anyone noticing.
After being watered with the spiritual spring water, the sweet potatoes grown will definitely be of better quality.
High yield and good taste.
If the village plants this batch of sweet potato seedlings next year, the yield will definitely increase significantly.
After paying the grain, the villagers can also get more.
The village’s top priority now is to solve the problem of food and clothing.
The folks don’t care about so many twists and turns, they just want to have enough food and clothes.
Fortunately, he often goes to the county town or the provincial capital, so it would not be surprising if he took out sweet potato or peanut seeds.
