Li Yan's heart was burning with excitement. She hadn't expected that her encounter would lead him to find sweet potatoes. If she could bring these back, not only would she be able to fulfill County Magistrate Zheng's request, but she could also implement her own idea of ​​intercropping. Thinking of this, Li Yan excitedly shook Granny Zhang's hand and asked, "Granny, are there many of these grown in your village?"
Granny Zhang smiled and nodded. "Every household in our family has a few acres of mountain land, and everyone planted it this year. I didn't expect the yield to be so good. There's actually quite a lot growing on a single vine. I just took a look next door, and I'm afraid an acre of land is producing over a thousand kilograms!"
Li Yan thought that this was still a small amount. If the crops were cultivated well, it would not be a problem to produce 3,000 kilograms per acre.
"Grandma, do you also grow sweet potatoes at home?"
Granny Zhang nodded and said, "I'm so glad I listened to my son and planted sweet potatoes on our three mu of inferior land. I'll go dig up the sweet potatoes tomorrow!"
Looking at Grandma Zhang's face full of unconcealable smile, Li Yan was happy for her from the bottom of her heart!
Li Yan: "Then I will go to the fields to help my mother-in-law tomorrow!"
Mrs. Zhang waved her hands repeatedly to refuse: "You are still recovering from your injuries. There is no need for you to work. Just rest at home. I can still do those little things!"
Li Yan couldn't persuade Grandma Zhang, so she secretly followed the two of them to the fields the next day.
When Mrs. Zhang found Li Yan, she helplessly told her: "Don't get too tired, take care of yourself!"
Li Yan agreed quickly and readily.
At this moment, many villagers are busy in the fields, their faces are filled with the joy of harvest. No one will have to worry about going hungry this winter!
They were busy until the sun went down. Granny Zhang said to Chun Ya, "Chun Ya, take Miss Li back and make dinner first!"
After Chun Ya finished her work, she obediently took Li Yan back.
The fiery red sunset dyed the entire sky. On the way back, busy figures could be seen everywhere in the fields, presenting a busy scene.
When I was almost home, I saw a man carrying a basket of things and walking towards me with a sad face.
When the two met, Li Yan found that it was Chen Da's wife who came to visit her at that time.
When Chen's wife saw Li Yan today, she just nodded slightly, looking like she was worried about something.
Li Yan looked at the worried-looking Chen's wife, stopped, and asked with concern, "Aunt, what happened? Why are you so worried?"
Mrs. Chen stopped and sighed, "Isn't this a good harvest? I was thinking of picking some sweet potatoes and selling them in town to buy some needles and thread, but after a whole morning, no one is interested in buying them!"
Mrs. Chen sighed: "Ah, they are all as ignorant as me. Why doesn't anyone want such a good thing?"
Li Yan said to Aunt Chen, "Don't worry, Aunt. If you really want to sell it, just sell it to me! But I don't have enough money on me right now. I have to wait for my uncle to come and pay you. Can you wait?"
Aunt Chen thought Li Yan simply liked eating sweet potatoes: "If you want to eat some, just go to my house and get some! Giving me money makes me look stingy!"
Li Yan: "Auntie, I want to weigh over a thousand pounds. I'm not kidding, I'm serious!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen immediately put down the burden on her shoulders, held Li Yan's hand, and asked anxiously: "Miss, are you teasing me?"
