The late autumn night is cold and dewy.

Zhen was worried that Xiao Fuyuan would get cold when he went to the field at night, so he asked her to stay at home.

In addition, Xie Chuntao is pregnant, and the two of them happen to be companions.

But Xiao Fuyuan was unwilling, she wanted to participate in digging sweet potatoes.

So, in addition to Xie Chuntao and Xiaolang, the old and young of the Bai family came to the sweet potato field with hoe baskets and sacks.

The sweet potato fields were a rich inky color in the moonlight, and the vines were covered with dew.

"If we dig it, we can dig it all in one go tonight, and we can't stop." Old Lady Bai said.

The main thing is that I am afraid of being discovered by the villagers.

If you can't finish digging tonight, half of the ground is dug and half of the vines are bound to arouse the curiosity of the villagers.

Once people are curious, they may not come to the field to check.

A look at it will definitely reveal the filling.

"Don't worry, grandma, you'll be able to dig it tonight." Bai Dazhuang said.

"Let's go separately, Da Zhuang you and Erzhuang, your father and Jin Gui dig from that end, your mother and I take Da Lang to dig at this end, Qiu Niang, you and Xiao Yuanbao follow me." Under the moonlight, the white old lady was doing the work assignment.

"Grandma, I'll follow you, and take care of my sister by the way." You Jingui didn't want to follow Bai Erzhuang and them, and he could only bury his head in work with them, which was too boring.

Following the sister-in-law, on the one hand, you can brush your face vigorously in front of the sister-in-law, and secondly, you can say that talking and working are not so tiring.

Mrs. Bai thought about it and agreed!

"By the way, grandma, just now when I went back to get thick clothes for my sister, I met Aunt Hu, she asked me what I was doing, I said to go to the mill to help my father grind tofu. Our sweet potato field won't be discovered by Aunt Hu, right? You Jingui told him about going home to Xiao Fuyuan to get a big sweater and meet Aunt Hu.

It's not that she is willing to tell Mrs. Bai all her whereabouts.

Instead, she was worried that if the sweet potato field at home was discovered, she would be suspected of leaking the news.

After all, once the news of the family got out, Mrs. Bai was always the first to suspect her.

Old Lady Bai said nonchalantly: "It's okay." ”

Xiao Fuyuan also followed and said, "It's okay." ”

If you meet someone else, Mrs. Bai may be worried, but if you meet Mrs. Hu, you don't have to worry at all.

Aunt Hu has a strict mouth, and now her son followed Bai Sanzhuang to Nanyang, and she is now a die-hard fan of the Bai family.

Even if she found the Bai family's sweet potato field, she would not say it, but would help the Bai family cover it up.

"Alright, don't delay, let's start digging." Bai Muban said, and told Xiao Fuyuan, "Girl, be careful of the vines entangled in you...... Don't do it, just sit there and watch...... When you're tired and sleepy, tell your dad that Dad will send you home. ”

Xiao Fuyuan hurriedly interrupted the white plank and said with a smile: "Dad, I know." ”

She was afraid that Bai Muban would keep admonishing her.

Everyone took their hoes and started working.

Xiao Fuyuan and on their side, the old lady Bai commanded everyone to divide the labor.

Eugene Gui and Zhen cut vines, Old Lady Bai took Qiu Niang and Da Lang to dig sweet potatoes, and Xiao Fuyuan and San Lang made a place for the dug sweet potatoes.

This division of labor is not only efficient, but also less prone to chaos.

"Da Lang, be careful, don't cut the sweet potatoes." Mrs. Bai took the lead in giving a demonstration to Da Lang.

"Don't worry, grandma, I won't dig it up." The children of the Bai family have been doing farm work since they were children, so Mrs. Bai demonstrated it, and Da Lang knew how to get started. A whole piece has been dug out as he spoke.

"Also, there are a lot of them on this vine, expand the scope of the plan." Old Lady Bai continued to admonish.

This sweet potato, like a peanut, will definitely be left out in the ground.

In the past, when the family was poor, Mrs. Bai would go to the peanut fields that others had harvested to collect peanuts, but she didn't want others to come from the family to collect sweet potatoes.

After all, this sweet potato is for the imperial court, and it is not even kept for one's own house, so it is best to ensure that none of them are left in the ground.

Xiao Fuyuan and Saburo picked up the dug sweet potatoes, removed the soil from them, and gathered them together.

"San Lang, look at your little aunt, don't let your little aunt be tired." Old Lady Bai told San Lang.

Saburo promised, "I won't let my little aunt get tired." ”

There was silence in the middle of the night in Shenshu Village.

Under the clear moonlight, the Bai family bent down to work in the field, only the sound of brushing vines and clicking the ground.

It is common for farmers in Shenshu Village to stay up late to harvest when they are busy farming, but Xiao Fuyuan has never participated in the harvest at night before.

She is too young to do farm work, and Zhen and others have to take care of her in the field, which will delay the progress.

Secondly, the Bai family felt sorry for her and would not let her go to the ground at all.

Therefore, this is the first time she has participated in the harvest at night, and she is still grabbing sweet potatoes that can save the starvation victims.

Xiao Fuyuan was extremely excited.

At the same time, there is a trace of regret in my heart, it would be nice if Brother Ah Zhen was still in Shenshu Village.

He can witness the ripening and harvest of sweet potatoes with his own eyes, and maybe he is gathering sweet potatoes in the field with him at this time.

The Bai family quickly shaved a small half of the sweet potatoes.

At this time, the sweet potato is like a hill in the field.

"Girl, you're tired, drink some water." Zhen came to Xiao Fuyuan's side and turned on the hot water.

"Mother, I'm not tired. Mother drinks water. Xiao Fuyuan patted the soil on his hands and sat on the sweet potato vine.

The white planks set up the cart and transported the sweet potatoes that had been dug up home.

He's already pulled it twice.

I saw Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan on the ridge of the field, and walked over quickly.

Bai Muban had never let Zhen do farm work before, and he was worried that Zhen would be tired, after all, it took a lot of effort to cut sweet potato vines.

There is also a girl, the little person doesn't sleep, she has been busy working, and the white plank is simply distressed.

"Is my daughter-in-law tired?" Bai Muban asked in a low voice.

He was afraid that his wife would say it in front of the children and that he would know that he felt sorry for his daughter-in-law.

Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "This idea doesn't tire me." ”

"Girl, are you tired?" Bai Muban hugged Xiao Fuyuan and touched her head and hands, worried that the dew would wet her daughter.

"Dad, I'm not tired." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"There are so many sweet potatoes piled up in our backyard, it won't rain." Zhen looked up at the sky, a little worried.

Xiao Fuyuan said firmly: "Mother, don't worry, it won't rain." ”

"You take your daughter home to sleep, and your mother will go back with you. I and Da Zhuang can do this work. Bai Muban looked at the old lady Bai who was busy in the world and said.

Zhen shook his head and said, "You will go home and send sweet potatoes to bring your daughter home, my mother will definitely not want to go back." ”

Mrs. Bai is very stubborn and strong, Zhen knows that she is definitely not willing to go back, and if Mrs. Bai doesn't go back, her daughter-in-law will have to accompany her.

Xiao Fuyuan also shook his head and said, "I don't want to go back, I want to watch the sweet potato harvest finish." ”

Bai Muban smiled and touched Xiao Fuyuan's head, and suddenly thought of the chat between Fang Cai and Bai Dazhuang, and said to Zhen: "Da Zhuang means that he wants to go to the capital to deliver sweet potatoes in person, what do you think?" ”
