Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

"Dahua, don't tell me that you want to plant this on this land. Do your family members allow you to do whatever you want? Did you beat them up? That's why they didn't come out to stop you, hahaha." Chen Qingqing laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She felt that she guessed right.

"Not only this, but also ten seeds. A few days ago, I met a foreign businessman in town and spent thirty cents to buy his corn seeds. He said that if I can grow them, it will definitely benefit our Yanlai Town."

"Haha, you are really the fool of our village. You just believed their lies. Thirty cents can buy a pound and a half of fine noodles."

Mrs. Wen Feng came over with a look of contempt, "Sister-in-law, you are too stupid. You spent thirty coins on ten seeds. Even if you have money, you shouldn't squander it like this."

"You are stupid. When I grow them, I won't let you eat them."

"Tsk, who cares? You may not even be able to grow it. You don't even know you've been cheated." Only a fool would believe this statement that it would benefit Yanlai Town.

Feng took a look at the sweet potato vines in Hua Ke's basket and left. She was planting all kinds of strange things in the fields. She must be very sick. She really couldn't understand why Wen Lin fell in love with her in the first place.

"Forget it, I've already planted the seeds. When the corn grows, you'll be so hungry."

Chen Qingqing patted Hua Ke's shoulder and said, "Dahua, don't take Feng's words to heart. Your sister-in-law has always been unhappy with you. But if you really grow that rice, remember to leave some seeds for me if it's edible."

"Oh." Hua Ke had a cold face. She wanted to take good care of her babies and beat these people's faces in the future.

After Chen Qingqing left, Si Niu ran over with a small shovel and squatted beside her to help her loosen the soil.

Hua Ke's heart softened, and she rubbed her grandson's hair with her hands covered in dirt, "Si Niu is so hardworking. In a few months, Grandpa will grow the sweet potatoes and roast them for us. It's the best to have a sweet and sticky roasted sweet potato when it's cold."

Si Niu smiled slightly, his dark eyes focused on the sweet potato vines in front of him.

After planting the second generation of sweet potato vines, Hua Ke dug a hole on another ridge. She had planted corn seeds in the seedling pots some time ago. Each plant is now 15 cm tall. She can transplant them here, not far from the door of her house, and she can see them at a glance. She is not afraid that anyone will harm her baby.

Some passers-by were curious about what Hua Ke was planting. Hua Ke explained one by one, and they shook their heads and left with sighs.

Hua Ke: “…”

What kind of looks were these people giving her? They looked at her as if she were mentally retarded. Suddenly, she didn't want to share the seeds with them anymore. Everyone should starve.

After planting the rice and beans, the Wen Fugui brothers continued to look for odd jobs in the city. In previous years, they would take a month off after finding a short-term job. After the Ghost Festival dream incident, the two brothers became more motivated and went wherever there was work. They made a little money in the past two months.

After knowing that they had been paid, Hua Ke stretched out her hand and the two brothers had to hand over half of the money to her.

As autumn deepens, the sweet potato leaves in front of the Wen family's house are growing wildly, and the corn has also reached the tasseling and silking stage. Several children like to come to the vegetable field to observe their growth and changes. Not only them, but some villagers have also noticed the changes in the vegetable field. Especially after learning from the children that the five-pointed green leaves in the field are edible, they are even more curious about them.

Chen Qingqing was the first person besides the Wen family to eat sweet potato leaves. She fell in love with it after the first bite, and from time to time she wanted to secretly pick some and take them home when Hua Ke wasn't paying attention.

The children of the Wen family were not happy about this. Whenever they had free time, they would sit under the apricot tree to guard the vegetable garden. Whenever anyone suspicious approached, they would immediately shout. In order to prove their innocence, people passing by the Wen family's vegetable garden would raise their hands and shout, "I just happened to be passing by."

There were also some people with bad intentions who sneaked into the Wen family's vegetable garden at night, but because of Pu Bao's presence, Hua Ke would always appear behind them with a stick before they succeeded, scaring them to scream. After being caught by Hua Ke on the spot, Feng hid at home for three days before daring to go out.

After arresting several people late at night, rumors spread in the village that the vegetables in Hua Ke's field were very strange and could only be eaten by the Wen family. They could not steal them because the ghost Wen Lin was still guarding the Wen family.

Some people are very superstitious about sweet potato leaves, because Hua Ke dug them up from graves and planted them. They gave them the nickname "underground vegetables", which are vegetables that only grow underground and were brought up by Wen Lin.

The Wen brothers were confused when they heard this rumor for the first time. What did it mean that Wen Lin was always guarding the Wen family? Their father was very busy!

Hua Ke: “???” The rumors are getting more and more bizarre. The ancients were so superstitious!

Chen Qingqing, who had eaten sweet potato leaves and was waiting for corn, said: "..."

Even if their rumors were horrible, she still had to eat them. In the early years, in order to survive, she had almost tried human flesh, so what was there to be afraid of with these leafy vegetables?

"Azu, this corn has five cobs!"

"Azu, the corn has grown a beard!"

"Azu, the corn silk has turned brown!"

Amid the children's expectant exclamations, the corn finally arrived for picking.

While Chen Qingqing was not waiting nearby, Hua Ke quickly picked eleven large corns and went home, instructing Liu to cook them quickly and give one to each person.

"Hua Ke! You picked the corn behind my back, didn't you?!" Chen Qingqing's loud voice came from afar, scaring the Wen family so much that they blocked the kitchen.

Chen Qingqing looked at the cornfield with heartache. There were obviously ten or so less corns. She knew Hua Ke would steal some.

"Chen Qingqing, wake up. This is my family's corn." What do you mean by picking it behind her back? It obviously belongs to Hua Ke alone.

"I don't care. I want to eat it too. I've been waiting for it for a long time." She watched the corn grow, and everyone who saw it could get a share.

"Then I can only give you half. I'm going to keep the rest for seeds, and each person in our family will only eat one."

"Okay, I want to borrow your seed, you have to give it to me."

Hua Ke: “…” This sentence is very ambiguous!

"It smells so good!"

Erniu went into the kitchen and kept asking, "Mom, when will the corn be cooked? I'm starving!"

Sanniang stared at it eagerly, feeling uncomfortable when she smelled the food but couldn't eat it.

"It's almost done. Go wash your hands first, and then bring the bowls over." Ever since my mother-in-law faked her death last time, we have to wash our hands after eating and after going to the toilet. If she knows that anyone doesn't wash their hands, they will be criticized by her.

"I'll wash it!"

"I'll wash it too. I'll go get the bowl now."

Wen Fugui was not afraid of the heat. He peeled the corn husk, blew on it twice, and couldn't wait to bite it. "Wow! So hot! So sweet!"

The child wanted to imitate him, but when his hand touched the corn, he suddenly pulled it back. Hiss! It was hot! He had to puff up his cheeks and blow air in the hope that the corn would cool down quickly.
