As soon as Gu Xiucai and his group arrived at the field, they attracted the attention of other villagers.

"The Gu family is now rich, but they still have to work in the fields like us!"

A villager looked at Gu Xiucai and his group walking towards the field with some confusion, and said in disbelief.

As far as he knew, he had never seen that noble man farming himself!

"But then again, aren't you curious about what's growing in his fields?"

An old man wearing a white turban also looked around curiously.

He has been farming all his life, but he has never seen crops that look like the ones grown in the Gu family's fields!

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!"

The other villagers were also very curious!

During these three months, they have been guessing every day what crops are planted in the Gu family’s fields!

Today is finally the day when the truth comes out!

They all involuntarily put down their work and came to the Gu family's fields to join in the fun.

"Gu Xiucai, what kind of person are you?"

The old man wearing a white turban was Gu Daniu, whom Gu Xiucai saw when he first returned to the village. He was looking at the sweet potatoes in the field with curiosity.

"Good stuff, I'll dig it out and give you two to try later!"

Gu Xiucai got a positive answer from his granddaughter. He was very calm and composed at this time. He also looked at Gu Daniu with a smile and said.

When Gu Daniu heard this, he grinned happily, thinking that his childhood playmate still remembered him and was always polite to him!

As soon as the four brothers Gu Xiucai, Gu Yulang and Gu Yichen arrived at the field, they started digging according to Gu Yiyao's instructions!

"father!"

Gu Yubai called Gu Xiucai excitedly and motioned him to look at what he had in his hand!

When Gu Xiucai saw the big, fat, long, pointed sweet potatoes, he became very excited and started digging up the sweet potatoes under his feet!

Similarly, a bunch of sweet potatoes were dug out, which made people ecstatic at the first sight!

"Ah! Look at what this is. It was dug out from the ground! Can this thing be eaten?!"

A villager saw sweet potato for the first time and had no idea what it was.

But his survival instinct made him vaguely feel that this thing was edible, otherwise how could it be grown in the fields!

This villager thought he was a really smart person!

"I don't know. We have never seen anything like this. Could it be a fruit? But don't fruits grow on trees? How can this thing grow in the ground?"

"Come on! Let's help the Gu family dig!"

Although the villagers didn't know what this thing was, they were inexplicably excited!

No matter how bad this thing tastes, they won't have to go hungry anymore as long as they can grow so much of it on one acre of land!

It’s really uncomfortable to be hungry!

"Come on! Let's help them dig!"

So the villagers from Gujia Village who were watching went down to the fields and started digging sweet potatoes, imitating the way Gu Xiucai and his group had just done!

There is strength in numbers. We originally planned to dig for a whole day, but we finished all the work by noon.

"Oh my God!"

A villager couldn't believe his eyes when looking at the mountain of sweet potatoes in front of him.

"This...this has to be 30 stones?!"

"I can't stop watching!"

"I just made a rough estimate, this!"

A villager raised four fingers.

"Hi~"

When the other villagers saw him gesturing with his fingers, they all gasped!

Over there, Gu Dechang had already brought his sons and pulled his own and Gu Xiucai's ox carts over to load sweet potatoes.

He just heard his daughter say that they should come to the fields today to help transport grain. He was still wondering how much grain they could grow that would require two ox carts.

As soon as he arrived at the field, he saw this scene that made him dumbfounded!

"What...what is this?"

Gu Dechang was a little confused. This thing grew out of the ground?!

"These are sweet potatoes. You can take a bag home later. You can steam them, boil them, or even bury them in the ashes of the stove and roast them."

It was also the first time that Gu Xiucai saw such a high grain yield per mu. His eyes lit up with excitement and he called out to Gu Dechang to load the truck quickly!

The villagers of Gujia Village also helped enthusiastically, and everyone's face was beaming with joy!

If you don’t know, you would think that these sweet potatoes were grown by them!

Thanks to the help of the villagers, the sweet potatoes were quickly transported back to Gu's home.

Gu Xiucai was not stingy. He asked each of the people who helped to take back four sweet potatoes and told them how to eat the sweet potatoes. Then the villagers each took their own sweet potatoes back.

Gu Daniu returned home somewhat excitedly, and couldn't wait to put the sweet potatoes into the pot and steam them according to Gu Xiucai's instructions!

Soon, a sweet smell that he had never smelled before filled the kitchen!

"Old man, what is this?"

Gu Daniu's wife, Mrs. Liu, couldn't help but ask.

The sons and daughters-in-law in the family also stared at him with green eyes.

This scent is so good!

"You'll know in a moment!"

Gu Daniu said with some excitement, calculating the time silently in his mind, and when he felt it was about time, he quickly lifted the lid of the pot!

The moment he lifted the lid of the pot, the aroma of sweet potatoes became even stronger, and several people in the room couldn't help swallowing!

Even the little kids at home knew there was something delicious to eat, and they looked at their grandpa eagerly with pleading eyes!

They are so hungry!

Gu Daniu took out the sweet potatoes and, not caring about how hot they were, he shared the big sweet potato with the three little kids in the house, giving each of them a piece.

The little babies took the sweet potatoes and started to eat them in one bite. They were reluctant to spit them out even if their mouths were burned!

Woo woo woo~, they have never eaten anything so delicious!

Gu Daniu and the others shared the other three sweet potatoes, each taking a small piece.

“This is so delicious!”

"Oh my god, what is this? Why is it so delicious!"

Gu Daniu's eldest daughter-in-law exclaimed while eating.

"It's really delicious! I, an old man, have never eaten anything so delicious!"

Gu Daniu ate and exclaimed happily.

But as he was eating, his smiling face suddenly became dim and for no apparent reason, tears started to fall from his face!

Suddenly, Gu Daniu burst into tears while eating:

"If this thing had been grown by Gu Xiucai earlier, my mother...my mother wouldn't have starved herself to death just to save a bite of food for me!"

Woooooooo~

Gu Daniu cried so sadly that the others also had red eyes...

Gu Yiyao returned home and enjoyed the freedom of eating sweet potatoes. She steamed them, boiled them, baked them, and even fried them!

Humph! She can still enjoy the freedom of eating sweet potatoes without relying on the system!

It makes it sell a sweet potato to itself at such a high price!

The same scene was also played out in other families in Gujia Village. They ate the sweet and delicious sweet potatoes, and were all ecstatic at first, and then sadly remembered their relatives who had starved to death during the famine years...
