The moonlight is hazy.

Tonight's moon is like a young woman with a half-hugging pipa and covering her face, the moonlight is mostly blocked by thick clouds, and the two young figures in the cemetery sometimes look up in a hurry, and can only roughly see each other's outlines.

"Second brother, I dug it! Two sweet potatoes! "The boss was so excited that he almost jumped, two big sweet potatoes!

"Shh The second child was shocked and ripped him off violently, his eldest brother is also stupid, what should he do if he lures his father here!

"Second brother, let's take it to Dad!" The boss was pulled by the second child like this, but he still didn't react, and shouted excitedly.

The second child covered the boss's mouth, and scolded angrily, but he didn't dare to be too loud.

"Big brother, you only have two sweet potatoes in your hands, but we have three people, how do you divide them?" He deliberately lowered his voice and glanced under the big banyan tree.

"Of course, let's give it to my dad first, and then we'll dig it up." The old avenue, although this piece is a cemetery, but it was originally a vegetable field before it became a cemetery, although it is no longer planted after being fenced as a cemetery, many vegetable roots in the original vegetable field are still left in the soil.

In other words, there are scattered potatoes or sweet potatoes growing in this piece of grave soil, which may be in the middle of the grave or at the edge of the grave. No matter how bold the two of them were, they were still children, so naturally they didn't dare to touch those graves. The two only dared to dig the soil around the grave carefully, but they didn't expect to be able to dig up sweet potatoes! It's not small!

The second child rolled his eyes, if it wasn't for his own brother, he really wanted to point at the eldest brother's nose and scold the eldest brother and wake him up. "Daddy first? Dad won't come to help when he runs out of food, but we haven't eaten anything, so how can we have the strength to dig? ”

The second brother said it so reasonably, he was speechless. "So, why don't we eat one together, and another for Dad?"

The second child was even more angry when he heard it - if he let his father know, he wouldn't even give his buddies the sweet potato skin leftover!

"Big brother, you listen to me once. Before Dad knew it, we hurriedly ate these two sweet potatoes first. If we have the strength, we can dig a little longer, and if we are lucky, we may be able to dig up tomorrow's sweet potatoes! The second said, looking at the sweet potato in the boss's hand, he swallowed with difficulty.

"But my dad will be angry when he finds out, what should I do?" The boss is a little hesitant, his father has always said that one is one, and two is two, and he has never rebelled against his father's will...

"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, how will my father know? Big brother, stop talking nonsense, give me one! The second child became impatient.

"That's... Okay—" The boss glanced in the direction of the banyan tree, and then hesitantly handed the slightly larger of the two large sweet potatoes in his hand to his brother.

The second child hurriedly took it, wrapped the corner of his clothes and wiped the sweet potato quickly and vigorously, and wiped off the soil on the skin of the sweet potato, and then took a big bite!

Not... I didn't expect the sweet potatoes dug up by the grave to taste so sweet!

...

The eldest saw that the second child was eating happily and smiled, and the guilt of eating alone from his father subsided a lot. There was a loud bang in his stomach, and he pressed his aching stomach... The second brother is right, only when you are full will you have the strength to continue digging!

Rub the sweet potato and take the first bite. It's really sweet! The boss smiled in his eyes, and ate one bite after another like the second child.

The sweet potatoes that looked big were swallowed by the two brothers, who were already extremely hungry, but they were actually eaten in just a few moments. He stretched out his tongue and licked it around his lips, and the two brothers finally did not faint from hunger.

"Second brother, let's keep digging!" After regaining some strength, the boss was motivated again.

Keep digging, dig out more sweet potatoes and go feed that dad who eats to open his mouth? The second child's eyes rolled from side to side, and he covered his stomach and shouted: "Big brother, my stomach hurts a little..."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the honest and honest boss hurriedly threw the wooden stick in his hand aside, and stepped forward to help his second brother, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" How can I have a stomachache? Is there a problem with the sweet potatoes just now? ”

"Probably not... No, I may be in too much of a hurry, it's okay big brother, I'll rest... Just take a break..."The second child said while holding his stomach, his face was wrinkled, and his waist hurt so much that he couldn't stand up.

"Then you can rest, don't move, I'll dig it!" Lao Dadao, helping the second child to sit down by a grave next to him.

"But big brother... How could I let you dig it yourself, it's too tiring..."The second child took the boss's hand and said sincerely.

"It's okay! I'm big brother! In the past, my mother used to say that the eldest brother should let the younger brother be the younger brother, this bitterness, the eldest brother is not afraid! Second brother, you have a good rest, watch the eldest brother dig up a lot of sweet potatoes, we are not afraid of starvation! The boss patted his chest, which was not very strong, and said that he did not have to worry.

"Thank you, big brother." The second said, watching the boss lift the sharpened stick again and continue to plane down, with a sneer on his face.

Fortunately, the moonlight was not bright, and the foolish big brother who was struggling to dig the soil could not see the expression on his face.

...

Just digging into the soil near the big sweet potato, the boss suddenly squatted down and groped for the things in the soil with his hands, with a little excitement on his face, and dug up a sweet potato vine!

In the past, his mother taught him to rely on sweet potato vines to identify how sweet potatoes grow in the soil, and he knew that there must be more than two big sweet potatoes on the other side of this vine! But the other side of this sweet potato vine is extending from the new grave...

The boss stopped in embarrassment.

"Big brother, did you dig it again?" Although the second child sat on the side and did not move, his eyes never left the boss for a moment. If the boss digs out two more big sweet potatoes, and even he secretly carries them in his pocket, then he won't agree.

"Yes, yes, but—" The boss was in a dilemma.

"Really?" When the second child heard this, his stomach didn't pretend to hurt anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

"I'm sure there will be sweet potatoes here, but it could be in this grave." The boss looked at the new grave, and his heart trembled inexplicably.

The second child was also silent for a while, but he was concerned about another thing: "Will the sweet potatoes in it be as big as the two sweet potatoes just now?" ”

"Hmm—" The boss hesitated, and before he could say anything, he heard a loud shout from behind him.

"Wow! It's a thousand cuts! You two rabbit cubs just stole food behind Lao Tzu's back! The innkeeper suddenly appeared from behind the two of them and roared angrily, and in this frighteningly silent wilderness, the two brothers jumped up in an instant like a sudden thunderbolt.

"Dad..."The boss turned around, and after the start, he would only stand in place, not knowing how to explain. He and his second brother did eat alone without telling their father, they did something wrong...

"Dad, it's none of my business, it's the eldest brother who said he wouldn't let you know!" Dad has changed since he took the two of them out of the greenhouse, sometimes shouting at his brothers, sometimes beating and scolding, the last time he was beaten was still faintly painful, he really didn't want to be beaten by his father again!

The boss was stunned and turned his face to look at him.
