Chapter 107: Digging Sweet Potatoes

Although the Tian family didn't take a nap, they also stayed at home to rest, and Xia Zhi's voice shouted out, and a group of people all ran out.

"What's the matter, why are you calling your dad at noon?" Zheng frowned, a little unhappy that Xia Zhi called Tian Laosi so loudly, although she knew that it was okay for her daughter to call her father, but it was a bit unruly for a girl to shout so loudly. What's more, the whole family was brought out.

"Daddy, hurry up and bring something, let's go dig sweet potatoes, Grandpa Ma and Grandpa Godfather are waiting outside!" Xia Zhi ran to Tian Laosi's side and pulled his hand and said, "There are also uncles, uncles, and third uncles, if Grandpa is resting, you don't have to go, anyway, it can't be dug in a day!" ”

"What, it's time to come, then why don't you invite them in, it's still quite sunny outside at noon!" Tian Laosi was very surprised when he heard that Xu Ming and Ma Shang were coming at this time, but after being surprised, Tian Laosi felt that Xia Zhi was too ignorant, and the guests did not invite them to enter the door when they came.

What is the sun, this is far from the modern time difference, how can it be sunned, after saying that it has been a month, at most, it is good to sweat a little, Xia Zhi muttered in his heart, and returned to Daotian Laosi: "Daddy, it's not that I don't call them in, it's that they don't come in themselves, and they are anxious to go to the sweet potato field to see the situation!" What's more, what she said, I'm afraid that the person surnamed Lin won't dare to come in.

"Okay, don't talk about the summer solstice, let's take the things, sister-in-law, you will hand over the sting to Lichun, and take a few of your younger siblings to help, although those sweet potato vines are old and can't be eaten now, they are also some tender, pinch some back." Get the rest back for the pigs! Don't sleep, old man. Hurry up and help. Find it as soon as possible, don't let the county magistrate wait for a long time. I'll pack up my house and I'll be there later! Li waved his hand, urging everyone to hurry up and get something. At the same time, let the daughters-in-law of the Tian family go and cut the sweet potato vines back.

Now Tian Jingyu is two years old, and he also has a chubby little face, but compared to Xiao Bailu's sister, he seems to be more naughty, and he has been running from yard to yard since he could walk. often let the Wang family find no one, and when the Wang family found him in a rage, he was a silly smile, and the Wang family gritted his teeth, but he was reluctant to beat and scold him.

And Li said that the matter of eating sweet potato seedlings, but also in September, there are not many vegetables left in the Tianjia vegetable garden, and when the summer solstice inspected the sweet potatoes, he pinched some fresh sweet potato seedlings and came back to fry them, but he didn't expect that from then on. The Tian family's table must have a dish of sweet potato seedlings, until now the sweet potato vine is old. The Tian family stopped it from serving.

Li Shi considered that Ma Shang and Xu Ming might be at Tian's house at night, after all, this sweet potato has always been said to be edible on the summer solstice, although people have seen things, but their specific use is not known, so they have to make a few things tonight, let them taste them, I have to say that Li is very thoughtful, Xia Zhi patronized digging sweet potatoes, but these things were ignored by her.

"Hey! Auntie, I'll go! ”

"You still use the old woman to say that I couldn't sleep in the first place, so you had to pull me to lie down!" Wang and Lao Luotou returned at the same time.

"Alright, okay, stop the ink, hurry!" So Li gave an order, several adults of the Tian family all went out, everyone held tools in their hands, or carried, or carried, or carried, a group of people walked out in a mighty way, standing outside the door of the Tian family Xu Ming Ma Shang, Lin Yunlei had to sigh that there are so many Tian family members, and shook his head at the same time, this is just a large army of the Tian family, and the little babies of the Tian family have not come out, and sure enough, after a while, I saw Xia Zhi leading the other seven children except Tian Lichun and Tian Jingzhen to come out.

Obviously, Lao Luotou had already seen Ma Shang standing outside the door, and after walking a few steps, he was about to kneel down for Ma Shang. said in his mouth: "I don't know that the adults are coming, I have missed the distance, please forgive the adults!" The frightened Marchand immediately stepped forward to help him: "Oh, my old brother, alas, don't kneel anymore, let's hurry up and see the sweet potatoes!" Old Luo was helped up by Ma Shang.

At this time, Boss Tian and the others also arrived, and Boss Tian also stepped forward to support Lao Luo's head and said: "Daddy, the county magistrate doesn't pay attention to those false courtesies, as long as we have adults in our hearts, we don't have to kneel, let the adults be embarrassed!" Through these few contacts with Ma Shang, Boss Tian knew that he had a headache about Lao Luo's insistence on kneeling down to him, so he stepped forward to relieve the siege.

"Yes, yes, it's still the eldest nephew who is right!" Ma Shang stroked the sweat on his forehead, it was not him who really wanted to kneel, but the one next to him, but unfortunately his identity could not be exposed, otherwise it was estimated that everyone in the Tian family would be frightened and weak. Of course, maybe Xiao Xia Zhi is an exception, didn't she know that he was a county magistrate at the beginning.

"Big brother, don't kneel, otherwise Lao Ma won't dare to come to your house in the future, let you work hard and move the people, he doesn't have that blessing! And my brother, let me introduce you, this is the son of my old friend, surnamed Lin Yunlei, and now he is only seventeen years old, so you can call him Yunlei!" Xu Ming saw that Lao Luotou was about to kneel again, and he also stepped forward to persuade, there was no way, if Lao Luotou saw Ma Shang and knelt at every turn, I am afraid that Ma Shang would have to think for a long time if he came to Tian's house in the future. If Ma Shang does not come, the tired iron must be himself. I thought of Lin Yunlei standing next to him, so I introduced it by the way.

"Several nephews of the Tian family have also met and recognized people!"

The four brothers of the Tian family saw that Lin Yunlei was dressed extraordinarily, but they didn't dare to call him by Xu Ming's name, and only greeted Brother Lin. Several people beckoned the children and called Uncle Lin again. The summer solstice instantly had a black line on her forehead, how could this annoying little kid become her uncle so quickly.

Lin Yunlei was also very helpless, how could he hide and still didn't hide, the children had called their uncles, how could they not take out the meeting gift, and only gave a piece of silver horn for one or two by himself. Lin Yunlei glanced at Xia Zhi from time to time, and looked at Xia Zhi's eyes completely gloating at Xia Zhi, Lin Yunlei muttered secretly, fortunately he was just gloating, and he didn't dismantle his platform, if Xia Shang came forward and said that he gave her five taels of silver as a meeting gift, he wouldn't be able to take this tael of silver.

Lao Luotou saw that Lin Yunlei actually took the silver as a meeting gift, so he didn't let the children accept it, and after Ma Shang and Xu Ming persuaded him, he let a few children receive the 'meeting gift'. Then a group of people rushed to the sweet potato field at the foot of Shili Mountain, northeast, by the river in Houcun.

When passing through the 100 acres of dry land on the summer solstice, Lin Yunlei saw the water wheel on the edge of the Tianjia land, and couldn't help but want to go up and step on two feet, Ma Shang and Xu Ming didn't dare to put forward their opinions, so a large family just watched Lin Yunlei step on the water wheel. Xia Zhi muttered to himself, after all, he was still a seventeen-year-old boy, and he used to be that little fox, but now he is gone, and he is a curious child.

Maybe the eyes of the Tian family were too hot, Lin Yunlei was embarrassed, got off the waterwheel, and rushed to the destination.

When Lin Yunlei and the others walked in the sweet potato field, they saw that the area of more than a dozen acres of land was all lush and green. This piece of green and this autumn when everything is zeroed form a clear opposite, and it has become hope.

"This is the sweet potato? This is sweet potato seedling! "To say that although Lin Yunlei's business is not as numerous as in the south due to geographical reasons, he has almost all walks of life in the north, and sometimes he even has a share of some businesses that go to sea, but he has never heard about sweet potatoes, and he doesn't know how the little girl of the summer solstice heard about sweet potatoes so coincidentally. If Xia Zhi knew what he thought, he would definitely mutter, what kind of coincidence is it, that is the memory of my sister's previous life.

"Yes, little brother Lin, don't you know the way, not only sweet potatoes can be eaten, but this sweet potato seedlings can also be eaten, put some red peppers, it tastes good!" Tian Laosi saw Lin Yunlei's eyes staring at the sweet potato seedlings in front of him, and he couldn't help showing off a little, and at the same time smacked his lips as if he was eating something delicious in his mouth. In fact, Tian Laosi's subconscious meaning is to say, looking at how capable my daughter is, almost all the sweet potatoes I find are treasures.

Of course, Lin Yunlei also heard the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the little Xia Zhi behind him, only to see that she was talking to Tian Xiaoman, and he didn't know what Lu Dao said, but he was smiling with crooked eyebrows and eyes, looking naughty and cute.

The next thing is to dig sweet potatoes, Lao Luo first gave an order, the daughter-in-law of the Tian family took a sickle, cut off the sweet potato vine exposed on it and put it aside, Tian Laosi They took a shovel and a hoe and began to dig up, fortunately, this piece of land is soft, mostly sandy, and some sweet potato fields are directly allocated with rhizomes.

The Tian family is in full swing here, Ma Shang and Lin Yunlei with four entourages are standing by and watching, Xu Ming has already joined the ranks of the Tian family, Xu Ming is familiar with the Tian family, he wants to go to the field, and no one in the Tian family stopped him, but handed over the tools. On the summer solstice, they were responsible for sorting out the sweet potatoes that Tian Laosi dug up and putting them in the basket, so that they could be brought home at night.

Lin Yunlei saw that Tian Lao Si and they dug out a few big sweet potatoes in a while, and stepped forward to pick up the sweet potatoes and tried them, there must be several catties, it looks like there are at least hundreds of catties of this acre of land, although he has heard of it before, but this is different from what he saw on the spot, it is a real thing, not a lip service. So the enthusiastic Lin Yunlei tied up his clothes, greeted and pulled the four followers, and also participated in the work of the Tian family.

After digging up an acre of sweet potatoes, Lao Luotou didn't let Xu Ming and the other visitors go to the ground, and only let them weigh the sweet potatoes in the field, while the Tian family continued to dig sweet potatoes. Lao Luo Tou knew that these people must have never done farm work, and they feel fresh, so it's okay to help for a while, but they can't be too tired, otherwise they will be in pain tomorrow.

Xu Ming didn't say anything, and began to weigh the sweet potatoes with a greeting, which was not a surprise, but it scared them, and the sweet potatoes produced in this acre of land reached more than 1,200 catties, more than 200 catties more than they estimated. (To be continued......)
