The family still went to the pig farm to eat.

Most of the Jiang family's food is still stored on the pig farm. After all, the terrain here is high, just in case.

With so much food, their family may not be able to eat it until late in the year, but there is no need to keep it at home and see what to do with it when the time comes.

After eating at the pig farm, the Jiang family went down the mountain again.

Zhang Sheng left his two sons to sort things out at the pig farm, and the Jiang family's grain and bacon had to be taken out to dry.

Zhang Sheng's mother-in-law took her daughter back to Jiang's house to help clean up the house.

Brother and sister Jiang Lei and Jiang Songshu parted ways with Mr. Jiang and the others after they came down the mountain.

They had to go to the fields and have a look.

The rice has been harvested, and the main purpose of going to the fields is to see the 30 acres of sweet potato fields.

When I arrived, I didn't expect that Qian Laishun and the others were also there.

"Uncle Qian? How are you? Can you still eat the sweet potatoes in this field?"

Jiang Li saw a few familiar figures from a distance and ran forward quickly.

Qian Laishun and the others were squatting on the ground, digging up the soil. The sweet potatoes they dug out were very small, wilted and wrinkled.

It was only after Gracilaria went up the mountain that she realized that she had forgotten the sweet potatoes in the thirty acres of land.

Such a flood disaster was already in early August. If the sweet potatoes had been dug out in advance, the losses might have been smaller.

Now all the leaves of the sweet potatoes are wilted and yellow, and the sweet potatoes dug out are not only small in size, but also a little wilted. It is better to dig up the sweet potatoes in the thirty acres of land in advance.

Qian Laishun said with a bitter look on his face, "Miss Jiang, what should we do now? If we continue to leave the sweet potatoes in the ground, they won't grow anymore."

At that time, Gracilaria was only focused on harvesting grain and avoiding disasters, and completely forgot about the sweet potato field.

She thought for a while and said: "Uncle Qian, if you dig up the sweet potatoes now, you can still get several hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes from one acre of land. The sweet potatoes from these 30 acres of land are considered waste. I don't plan to take them anymore. I'll give you ten acres." You can dig the land yourself, and whatever you can dig is yours. I plan to give the remaining twenty acres to the villagers."

Of course, priority is still given to those who work on their own pig farms and whose houses were destroyed by floods this time.

After listening to Jiang Li's words, Qian Laishun nodded repeatedly and almost knelt on the ground to kowtow to Jiang Li, "Thank you, Miss Jiang."

Although each person received two to three hundred kilograms of grain from the previous rice season, it is not easy to maintain a year-long life.

Although the sweet potatoes dug out from the ten acres of land do not look good, they can fill the stomach to some extent.

Qian Laishun and the others thanked Jiang Li and hurried home to get hoes and pick up sweet potatoes.

Jiang Li turned to Jiang Songshu and said, "Brother, when you go back, take a look at the people who worked in our pig farm. How many families' houses were washed away? We can help a little bit."

Jiang Songshu immediately understood what his sister meant.

He had noticed it earlier, "There are probably three or four families."

Qian Laishun and the others moved very quickly. They went back to get a hoe and a three-tooth rake, and started working hard when they came back.

In addition to Qian Laishun and the five of them, there were five other people they hired to help cook the sweet potato field.

Their conditions were even worse than Qian Laishun's, and they really depended on the sweet potatoes in this field for the rest of their lives.

The ten people showed their strength. Jiang Li stood there without leaving. In less than half an hour, ten people had dug out the sweet potatoes from an acre of land.

This sweet potato is really small, not to mention stunted, wilted and wrinkled, but they don't mind if the money comes.

Gracilaria grows so many sweet potatoes, and the harvest must be sold. These are not easy to sell no matter what, and it takes labor to clean them.

Just do it as a favor and let people in need in the village dig it out, and you can still receive a favor.

When living in a village, especially when the entire village is basically composed of the Yu family, you still need to understand the ways of the world.

I estimate that one acre of land can produce three to four hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Jiang Li had seen enough, so she and Jiang Songshu went back to find Yu Chonghui.

This matter still has to go through Yu Zhonghui.

The Yu family and his son immediately informed the village. They knew best whose houses had collapsed, and they were much more familiar with them than Jiang Li and others.

Soon, more than 20 people, including men, women and children, came to the Jiang family's sweet potato field. Almost eight or nine families in the village had their houses collapsed.

Jiang Li had told Yu Zhonghui in advance that the sweet potatoes were all in the ground and had been soaked in water. They were not in good quality and would not fetch a good price if they were sold. The situation in the village was so difficult, so it was better to give the people in the village a better price.

Yu Zhonghui stood in the sweet potato field and said to everyone: "Everyone has seen this flood. The Jiang family helped. Now the Jiang family's twenty acres of sweet potatoes are soaked in water, and they will not grow even if they are buried in the ground." It’s not big anymore. Originally, food was in such short supply now that they could sell it no matter what. However, Miss Jiang was kind-hearted and thought that everyone was having a hard time, so she thought of helping everyone. Now the sweet potatoes are on the twenty acres of land in front of her. inside."

"Let's all work together to grow these twenty acres of sweet potatoes. After the harvest is completed, we will distribute the food to each household. The Jiang family is good, we must remember it in the future."

Many people looked at Jiang Li with tears in their eyes and gratitude.

After Yu Zhonghui finished speaking, everyone started to disperse and work with the farm tools they brought from home.

At this time, everyone didn't care about whose family had a small population, their own family had a large population, unfairness, etc. They all worked together and just wanted to get all the sweet potatoes from the field as quickly as possible.

The longer it sits in the soil, the worse it will be.

Everyone in the field was wielding hoes, and even children came to help.

There were so many people that the sweet potatoes in an acre of land were quickly turned over, and baskets of sweet potatoes were moved to the edge of the field.

There were also many children in the village. They went to look through the fields that the adults had plowed when they had nothing to do, and they really missed some.

The yield of sweet potatoes in these fields is not always three to four hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, and some can produce only two hundred kilograms.

There were many people, and everyone worked energetically and with strong self-motivation. They were busy until the evening, and when it got dark, they had to dig out the sweet potatoes by the moonlight.

By the time they finished their work, it was already midnight and everyone else in the village was asleep. Two people were left looking at the sweet potatoes in the field while the others went back to sleep.

And Jiang Li and the others have now packed up and returned to the Jiang family.

Those who did not have houses in Yujia Village, under the coordination of Yu Zhonghui, lived in wooden houses on the mountain. Or borrow to live in the Jiang family's pig pen.

There is no way, although the Jiang family's pig pen is used by pigs, there are dogs guarding the pig farm, so it is safer to sleep at night.

As soon as the Jiang family finished breakfast, people from Yujia Village came looking for them.

Hearing the commotion outside, Mrs. Zhao went out to take a look. They brought a basket of sweet potatoes over.
