At Lin He's house here, in the afternoon, Huang asked Lin He to take Lin Chen and Dabao out to pick up firewood in the afternoon, all the way, walked a long way, and didn't pick up much, where is there so much firewood in this village, unless it is to go to the mountains to chop firewood, it is almost the same, Dabao and Lin Chen are running happily, and they have to squat down to see what they have picked up.

At the edge of the field, I saw some people in the village digging sweet potatoes there, Lin He came here to eat sweet potatoes for a few days, and felt that the stewed sweet potatoes were not delicious, but I felt that I had eaten too much, and I was a little tired of it.

Lin He asked Lin Chen, "Chen'er, do we grow sweet potatoes in our family, other people's families have started digging sweet potatoes, and our family is also going to start digging." ”

Lin Chen: "There is a kind, a few days ago, my mother said that I was going to dig it in the next few days, I am afraid that something happened to the uncle's family in the past few days, and my mother has forgotten it, but what is delicious about sweet potatoes, I used to eat it every day in winter, and I was tired of eating." ”

Lin He smiled, "Tomorrow we will also ask my mother to dig sweet potatoes, and my sister will roast sweet potatoes for you to eat, roasted sweet potatoes are delicious." ”

In fact, it is not that there are no roasted sweet potatoes in this era, but the sweet potatoes of Lin Chen's family used to be the staple food, how can there be roasted and eaten, and it takes a long time to roast and eat, Lin Chen has never eaten it, Xiaobao heard it, and asked, "Sister, is the sweet potato roasted delicious, let's dig the sweet potato tomorrow, you bake it for me, okay?" ”

Lin He smiled and touched his head, "You little gluttonous cat, when it comes to eating, you will be energetic." Tomorrow I will call my mother to dig sweet potatoes, we will bake sweet potatoes to eat, the weather is also good these days, we make sweet potato chips to eat, but good. ”

"What are the sweet potato chips, are they delicious?" Xiaobao's big eyes blinked.

Lin He finally took his younger brothers and sisters to the side of the mountain for a while, Lin He looked at the inside of the mountain, although it was winter, but there were many trees in the mountain The leaves were still green, Lin He felt that this mountain had a fatal temptation for her.

She had never seen such a mountain in her previous life, and there were some mountains in the countryside where Lin He stayed in her previous life, but those mountains were all bare in autumn, and there was nothing to see.

But Lin He felt that the mountain was different at this time, there were many things in it that Lin He had never seen before, there were many living things, animals, and many plants, fruits, etc., Lin He thought about it and couldn't help but walk into the mountain, Lin Chen saw his sister walking towards the mountain, and shouted, "Sister, you can't go in." ”

Lin He came back to his senses at this time, so he took Lin Chen and Dabao to pick up some firewood on the side of the mountain, and planned to take it back, Lin He wanted to wait until next year to definitely go to the mountain, first to find out, how did his third uncle enter the mountain, why he couldn't come back once he went, and no one went in to see what was going on.

The three of them played for a while, then tied a small bundle of firewood with hay, Lin He carried the firewood on his back, and Lin Chen took Xiaobao and went home.

Back home, Erniu and Dabao have also returned, Erniu is talking about how good his family is in the field, next year with those few acres of land, his family's life will be rushed, Dabao looked at Lin He and they came back, helped her put down the firewood on her body, and asked them where to pick up firewood, Lin Chen's mouth was about to say, "Go to the mountains." ”

Dabao was shocked when he heard this, and said, "You have entered the mountain, how can you be so bold, and you can enter the mountain?" ”

Lin He looked at Dabao's nervous appearance, and said with a smile, "Big brother, we didn't go into the mountain, and the firewood we picked up on the side of the mountain didn't just pick up so much when we went into the mountain." ”

After thinking about it, he then asked, "What's going on with our third uncle, why didn't he come back from the mountain, what's going on?" ”

Dabao said, "Our third uncle is a hunter, he used to go into the mountains to hunt, and he often came back with some hares and pheasants, and once brought back a big wild boar. Once, the third uncle came back and said that he saw a bear in the mountains, but that time he was taken away by the bear, and the next day he brought all the tools and said that he wanted to beat the bear back, and if he returned the bear, the life of the family would be better. ”

"Then did anyone go in and look for it, was the third uncle eaten by a bear or something else?"

Dabao continued, "The third uncle must have been eaten by a bear, how can anyone go in and look for it." ”

This means that no one knows whether the third uncle was eaten by a bear or not, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, presumably the people of Linjia Village are so poor and have something to do with this, the people of Linjia Village do not have any other income, and they have no way to even hunt the simplest in ancient times, so they can only farm some fields and live like this.

Lin He roughly understood, and didn't say much. After a while, he said to Huang, "Mother, let's dig sweet potatoes tomorrow, dig some sweet potatoes to make roasted sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips to eat, it's delicious." ”

Huang said, "Okay, Ben also said that he would dig sweet potatoes in the next few days, and if he didn't dig again, he was afraid that the sweet potatoes would rot, and tomorrow your father will go to the field, and you will all follow me to dig sweet potatoes." I know about baked sweet potatoes, but I don't know what sweet potato chips are, He'er, where did you eat them? ”

Lin He stuck out his tongue and said that he had leaked his mouth again, but said, "I saw it in the book, and it was said to be delicious, and I thought it was good when I looked at it." ”

Dabao was a little strange, why didn't he know there was such a thing, but he didn't say much, this sister often had strange ideas, and he didn't say much, but he was also a little looking forward to that sweet potato chip.

The next day, Lin Erniu went to the field after breakfast, in fact, there is nothing good to do in the field now, but Lin Erniu hoeed the grass near the edge of the field, and there was not a single weed in the field.

The Huang family went to the field rented by his family to dig sweet potatoes, Lin He didn't know that his family had planted such a large acre of sweet potato land, and he was afraid that some of them would be eaten by sweet potatoes, let alone making sweet potato chips, and it would be enough to eat whatever he wanted. Sweet potatoes are a very good thing to feed, and they are full in the stomach, so everyone grows a lot of sweet potatoes at home in this era.

The four of them dug for an afternoon, but they only dug a small piece of land, and the sweet potatoes were not very easy to dig, but the yield was still okay, and they dug a small piece of land, and Dabao picked several boxes with a small box to go back, Lin He estimated that he would dig so many sweet potatoes at one time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat them for a long time, and he would not rot when the time came, so he asked Huang, "Mother, so many sweet potatoes, where do we put them, are they all rotten if they can't be eaten?" ”

Huang smiled and said, "Silly boy, of course you can't eat so many sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes are more durable, and they won't rot quickly, but in the past years, our family didn't have money to buy food at this time, and the sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes we ate for meals were not enough, so where would they be rotten." ”

But this year there is some food at home, and He'er doesn't like to eat sweet potatoes too much, but he is afraid that he can't eat them all at once, and he is afraid that it is really not good to store.

Huang didn't know what a cellar was, Lin He remembered that he had seen the cellar in a book in his previous life, and he thought it was interesting, and he deliberately looked at how the cellar was dug out, and it seemed that it could come in handy now.
