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

"No! Mom, I don't have that idea!"

"Mom, I don't have any either!"

The two brothers shook their heads together. They had indeed thought about dividing the family before, but their mother disagreed. Now they felt that it was good for everyone to live together. The children in the family had become much more sensible. They felt that life after dividing the family would not necessarily be better than it is now.

Hua Ke looked at Wen Lin and motioned him to speak. Wen Lin understood, "You don't want to split up, but your mother and I really want to."

"father!"

"It's okay if you don't want to separate, just live together," Hua Ke added when she saw Wen Fugui's expression relax, "but I, your father and Siniu are going to separate from you. I won't need you to support me in the future, just live your life well."

"mother!"

The four people in their twenties looked at Hua Ke in shock.

"This family will be divided sooner or later. In two years at most, I will leave Shicheng Village. By then, you will have the final say in the family. I don't care when you two brothers split up."

"Azu!"

Erniu understood and was about to cry, "Azu, you don't want me anymore, right?" He was so sad. Azu had deeply hurt his young heart.

Hua Ke pinched his fleshy arm, "You have your father and mother to take care of you, why do I need you?"

"But I don't want them. I want to follow you with Siniu."

Wen Fugui and Liu felt as if their hearts were stabbed. Erniu really deserved a beating.

"Where are you going, mother? The capital?"

"I'm not sure either, just go wherever is fun."

Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu, San Niang and Xiao Zhu pushed Siniu aside and hugged Hua Ke and cried, "A-Zu, don't leave! We want to follow you too."

"Why are you following me? You just want to go out and play with me. When you grow up, you can go wherever you want if you have the ability. So you have to work hard since you are young. If you don't work hard, you can't even leave Yanlai Town."

"A-Zu, can't we go out as a family?"

"No, I don't like a lot of people following me."

Hearing this answer, Erniu started to howl again, "Why am I not Siniu?"

Hua Ke was determined and refused to listen to anyone's advice. Finally, the Wen Fugui brothers had to compromise, but they required that everyone live together before Hua Ke left home.

"Okay, let's continue living together for the next one or two years."

Before long, everyone in the village knew that Hua Ke would leave Shicheng Village. People who knew her came over to ask questions. Chen Qingqing's eyes were red. "You're leaving now? Will you come back in the future?"

Hua Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Who said I should leave now? If I leave, I have to eat enough corn and sweet potatoes before I leave. Maybe I will leave in a year. I don't know if I will come back in the future."

"Then will you settle down in the capital in the future?"

"Not sure, but I have to go to the capital."

Feng was even more sad when she heard the rumor. Before last year, she would laugh at Hua Ke for being a widow, but she didn't expect Wen Lin to be still alive. Not only that, he also had a business in the capital. Hua Ke was so lucky! She would rather be a widow for twenty years and live a good life in the capital.

Time flies and now it is June. The paddy fields are full of cracks, there is no hope of a good rice harvest, the water in the river has dried up, the wells are almost out of water, and the vegetables in the vegetable fields are all dried up.

The only two things that are still strong and alive in the field are sweet potato leaves and corn seedlings. The corn can be harvested. Hua Ke took a look and found that the second generation was not as productive as the first. It was rare for a plant to produce five corn cobs, and basically only four. However, it was still pretty good, and each cob was full.

This year she was finally able to eat as much corn as she wanted. Last year she only ate one corn, oh, no, half one corn.

It was Wen Lin’s first time eating corn and he ate three in a row before stopping. It was the first time Hua Ke saw him have such a good appetite.

"When we leave, I'll take some more seeds with me."

"it is good."

Hua Ke didn't tell anyone that she had kept some of the first generation of sweet potato and corn seeds in the Pubao space. They were good things that she had exchanged for with her points, and she was reluctant to give them all away. She hadn't touched the potato seeds yet, and they had been kept in the Pubao warehouse. Anyway, they wouldn't get moldy or spoil.

Not long after, the sweet potatoes could be dug. Many people cried with excitement when they saw the big, heavy sweet potatoes in the soil. If they had not planted corn and sweet potatoes this year, they would not have survived.

Because they were worried that someone from other villages would come and steal the sweet potatoes, every household rushed to the fields to dig the sweet potatoes. They would not feel at ease until they had transported the sweet potatoes back home. After a few days, they would take some out to sell, so they would not have to worry about the household tax and land tax this year.

Hua Ke's fields yielded the most harvest, and Wen Lin took some away and asked the escort agency to deliver it to the general's mansion.

Corn and sweet potatoes were very popular. People from Shicheng Village carried full baskets to sell. When residents of Yanlai Town saw them, they immediately ran over. The villagers sold out in less than an incense stick of time and made a fortune.

"This sweet potato is delicious and very useful. My child's stomach feels much better after eating it."

"My little Bao loves to eat corn, but unfortunately he didn't get many."

"I bought three, but I won't eat them all. I want to keep some to grow myself." I'll sell them to you at a high price then.

Hua Lutao was the only person in Shuixiu Village who grew sweet potatoes and corn. He even lived in the cornfield every night and drove away several people who tried to steal corn.

These days, he sold a small half of it and made dozens of taels of silver.

He was very happy. He bought three roast geese and brought An An and Zhao to the Wen family, while his two sons stayed at home to look after the family.

"Third sister, if you hadn't given me the seeds, I wouldn't have been able to make so much money. I'll give you half."

"I don't want your money. You have three children to raise. You need to plant more this year. You won't be able to sell so well in the future."

"I understand. Scarcity makes things valuable. If there are too many sweet potatoes in the future, they will not be worth much."

Hua Lutao pushed for money several times, but Hua Ke was unwilling to take it. "Please keep this money for me. When you burn incense for your parents in the future, burn more for us. I will follow your brother-in-law to the capital next year."

Hua Lutao's nose felt sore and his eyes moistened. "Okay, Third Sister, come back often when you have time."

Wen Lin patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Your sister doesn't like riding in a carriage. The uneven roads can easily make her uncomfortable. You should make more money in the future and try to come to the capital to find us."

Hua Lutao: “…Oh.”

General's Mansion.

Chu Xuanye had received a letter from Chu Heng before and knew that Chu Heng would soon send two kinds of fresh food, but he didn't know the exact day of arrival. After attending the morning court that day, he returned to the mansion and smelled a strange sweet smell from afar.

"Dad, you're back!"

"Uncle!"

Four-year-old Chu Zekai and six-year-old Lu Chuchu ran over holding a golden unknown food in their hands, "Dad, the corn and sweet potatoes that Uncle Heng asked someone to send have arrived. This is corn, it's delicious!"

"Uncle, can you ask Uncle Heng to send some to my house as well? I'll give him money. I love eating this very much." Although Lu Chuchu is two years older than Chu Zekai, she has lost her appetite after contracting a strange disease. She weighs less than Chu Zekai and looks very thin.

"Sure, I'll write to tell your uncle Heng. Chuchu, bring some home today. Your uncle Heng said that corn can be paired with meat for cooking or soup. See if you can eat it."

"Yeah, uncle, you and Uncle Heng are so good."
