After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life

Chapter 190 Uninvited Guest

In Liu De's opinion, even if the visitor was not hysterical, he was a fool. It was simply a pipe dream to think that one acre of land could produce 5,000 kilograms of grain.

Not to mention 5,000 kilograms, he had never even seen a grain yield of 500 kilograms per mu in his almost 60 years of life.

The village chief was driven out without even seeing the town supervisor, his face full of disappointment. In fact, if it weren't for the previous incident with peppers as a prelude, and if it weren't for Han Yiyi's seriousness in speaking, and if he hadn't seen with his own eyes the pile of sweet potato seedlings all over the yard, he wouldn't have believed it.

But looking at the "treasure" in his hand, he really couldn't bear to waste this opportunity to save everyone from starvation. After being driven away again by the servants of Jianzhen's family, he quickly returned to the village with the sweet potato seedlings.

After returning to the village, he summoned the daughters-in-law who had married into Zhushan Village from other villages and asked them to go back to their parents' home as soon as possible and tell their families about planting sweet potatoes.

When these young and older wives heard this, their eyes lit up. They were not allowed to tell anyone about the previous incident with the chili peppers and the matter of exchanging rice for rice, so they felt a little sorry for their families. Now it was good that they could have a full meal with their families.

So as soon as the village chief finished speaking, everyone trotted away.

When the families of the younger and older wives heard what they said, they could no longer sit still and rushed over that night, bringing their lovers' families with them.

Some of these people believed it very much, while others were half-believing and half-doubting. They thought of wasting an acre and a half of land to plant it out of a try-it attitude. If they could really get 5,000 kilograms, they wouldn't starve this year.

In this way, Han Yi's family's sweet potato seedlings were distributed, and the surrounding villages also planted some.

Han Yiyi herself also likes to eat sweet potatoes, especially in winter. When she has a roasted sweet potato, the taste is so delicious...

Then there are the vermicelli made from sweet potatoes. The vermicelli stewed with pork, or made into hot and sour noodles, just thinking about it makes people drool. Even the sweet potato stems, if fried directly with chili peppers, taste refreshing and delicious. Therefore, Han Yiyi also planted some in her own vegetable garden.

It took everyone two days to plant all the sweet potatoes in the ground, and then they were busy making adobe bricks to build houses and picking mushrooms.

Because the village chief said that the matter of exchanging mushrooms for rice should not be spread outside, and whoever spread it would be driven out of the village. Therefore, no one dared to take the rice to the town to exchange for coarse grains and black flour, so now the whole Zhushan Village eats white rice.

Just to save money, more wild vegetables will be added in, and mushrooms are naturally not added. Even so, when it is time for dinner, the whole village is filled with the fragrance of rice. In the past, I didn’t think this smell was so good, but in this year of famine, this smell makes people drool.

The man standing in Aunt Zhang's house stared at the direction of her kitchen, smelling the aroma of rice wafting from it and swallowing his saliva continuously.

Turning around, he saw Aunt Zhang and her group coming back from a distance carrying baskets. He hurriedly trotted over, reached out to take the basket from Aunt Zhang's hand, and spoke with a smile on his face, but his eyes kept looking at the big cow behind Aunt Zhang.

"Auntie, you are back. You must be tired. Let me help you get it..."

Aunt Zhang looked at the person who came, her eyes full of displeasure.

"What are you doing here again? I told you, I don't need your help. Go away..."

Hearing Aunt Zhang say this, the man's eyes immediately turned red, and he looked at Da Niu as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.

"I know I was wrong last time. I know I was wrong. Aunt, please give me another chance. I was also deceived by that Erhuzi. Don't worry, aunt. After I marry into your family, I will definitely respect you well and treat Brother Da Niu well..."

After saying that, she looked at Daniu with a pitiful look, which made her look so aggrieved, as if Daniu was some kind of unfaithful man who had let her down.

When Aunt Zhang saw Huang Zhaodi like this, she was furious. Then she saw her coquettish look, looking at her son, which made her even more angry.

Worried that his silly son would be bewitched by this little vixen, he wanted Da Niu to go back to the yard first.

But when Aunt Zhang turned around, she saw that her silly son didn't even look at the person opposite, but his eyes were always following the little girl coming out of the kitchen. Seeing this, Aunt Zhang's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She turned around, grabbed Da Niu, and then pushed him into the yard.

"Go in quickly to avoid being targeted by some bad people..."

Since February came out of the kitchen, Da Niu had never taken his eyes off her. At this moment, he was pulled and pushed by his mother, and tripped over the threshold, and actually stumbled.

Eryue was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a noise at the door. She knew that Aunt Zhang and the others had returned, so she hurried out to greet them. However, before she reached the door, she saw Da Niu lying on the ground. She was startled and took a few quick steps forward to help.

But her small body could not support Da Niu, and she was pressed under him. This frightened Da Niu, and he hurriedly helped her up, feeling shy, embarrassed and worried. Her face was so red that it was about to bleed, and he stammered.

"Are you, are you okay? I didn't mean it. I was..."

At this time, Er Yue's face turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly spoke.

"No, no, I'm fine..."

At this time, Huang Zhaodi, who was outside the door, saw this scene and her eyes turned red with anger. This time she was not pretending, but was really angry.

She had been hanging around the Zhang family's door these days, so of course she had seen Er Yue and had asked about her. Er Yue was just an unwanted wild girl picked up by the Zhang family in the mountains. But it was this wild girl that made her brother Da Niu care so much about her. So, regardless of the presence of Aunt Zhang, she pointed at Er Yue and started scolding her.

"You little slut, you pounce on a man in broad daylight, you are so shameless..."

Aunt Zhang was so happy to see the two people blushing and caring about each other that she even forgot for a moment that there was an annoying vixen in front of her.

Now, hearing her scolding Er Yue like that, his eyes turned cold and he raised his hand and slapped her.

"Shut up, who the hell are you? How dare you curse my daughter-in-law like that..."
