After Ji San ran away, Cheng Yue and Chen Lin did not stay in the shop for long. They said hello to the craftsmen and went straight home.

Before leaving the city, he stopped by the woodworking stall owner and picked up the small wooden sword that was remade for Chen Tong.

After two days of rest, the legs of the sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning were fully recovered. After getting the wooden sword, Chen Tong started to have fun playing "Hehehehahe" towards the jujube tree in the yard.

Cheng Yue held her forehead and sighed, why is she like a tomboy?

Forget it, as long as the child has good character, she doesn't want to interfere with other things. Personality and preferences are not gender-specific.

Boys can like dolls, and girls can like playing with swords and guns.

Each of the three children has his or her own strengths, and we can just slowly plan their future paths.

After breakfast the next day, Cheng Yue took out the seeds. She used a wet cloth to grow the seedlings, and they have now sprouted.

The business will open in a few days. I’m afraid I will be too busy by then, so I have to plant all the seeds in these few days.

"Mom, why are there so many seeds?" Chen Ning asked in surprise when she saw Cheng Yue fiddling with the seeds on the table.

Dad had taken out a lot of seeds that they had never seen before, and the small vegetable garden in the yard was already full of seeds.

There are so many vegetables in the garden that even their family of five cannot finish eating them all.

Chen Tong smiled and said, "Silly sister, isn't it good to have more seeds? Even if we can't eat them all, we can dry them into dried vegetables. Then we won't have to worry about having no vegetables to eat in the winter."

My mother turned over a piece of land next to the vegetable patch a few days ago, and now she has taken out a bunch of seeds. She must be going to plant vegetables.

It is cold here in the winter, with thick snow every year. There is no green except for pine and cypress trees, let alone vegetables to eat.

I heard from my uncle in previous years that only rich families had vegetables to eat in winter, and they said they were shipped from the south.

Poor families like theirs only had a little white radish and cabbage to eat in the winter, which they had to bury in holes dug in the ground.

Except for the small vegetable garden in the yard, the fields outside are all used to grow crops, so there are not many vegetables.

The weather was cold for a long time, and there was not enough food for the large population, so it was good enough to be able to eat dried vegetables.

Before the separation, they didn’t even have the chance to eat dried vegetables. Now that they can grow so many vegetables, she is so happy that she can’t contain herself!

"Xiaotong is right. In addition to making dried vegetables, we can also make pickled vegetables and sauerkraut. We will definitely not have to worry about vegetables in the future."

The space can also keep fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables are nothing. It’s hard to say. Cheng Yue can only follow what Chen Tong said.

Salt is expensive now, and ordinary people cannot afford to make pickled vegetables. They can only dry them and eat them, which is indeed monotonous.

This year I can make some pickled vegetables to go with rice, sauerkraut, make dumplings, and cook hot pot... I'm salivating just thinking about it.

Cheng Yue pulled herself back to her thoughts and continued, "But these seeds are not all vegetables, there are also some fruits, they are sweet, I guarantee you will like them."

Chen Lin smiled innocently, "Fruit? Did you mean fruit? I have only eaten plums, dates and sour apricots, and only dates are sweet."

Cheng Yue was afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly and the children wouldn't understand, so she said, "These are all sweet and not sour. Let's plant them first and eat them in the summer."

"Mom, I'll get the hoe!"

"I'll go fetch water for the fields!"

The three children licked their lips and ran away with smiles on their faces. They really wanted to taste the sweet fruit.

However, the prerequisite for eating is to work first. They are not like Zhao and the others, who are all very lazy.

When I went to her house two days ago, I saw that the vegetable seedlings in the yard were all wilted. I guess no one was willing to fetch water to irrigate the fields.

"Ayue, how do you plant potatoes?" Chen An asked about potatoes when he saw the children running away.

Just now Cheng Yue only took out the vegetable and fruit seeds, and the potato seeds were still in the house.

"Potatoes are a little more troublesome. They need to be cut into pieces and planted. Wait and you'll see."

Cheng Yue took out a basket of potatoes, but was afraid she couldn't explain it clearly, so she had to start working.

The family will also grow potatoes in the future, and Chen An has learned how to do it so that she doesn’t have to worry about anything.

All the potatoes had sprouts, so Cheng Yue picked out the ones with thicker sprouts and cut them into pieces, explaining as she cut them.

Chen An was more familiar with farming than anyone else and understood it in no time.

Cheng Yue handed the task of cutting into pieces to Chen An, and ran to the kitchen, dug out a basket of wood ash from the stove, poured it on the already cut potatoes, and then turned them over a few times to make sure every potato was covered with wood ash.

"Ayue, what's this?" Chen An was a little confused. He knew that wood ash could be used as fertilizer, but why was it stuck to the potatoes? He was a little confused.

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "This will allow the cut surface of the potatoes to dry quickly and prevent rot, pests and diseases."

In fact, it is for cleaning and sterilization. Chen An nodded and smiled, "So it can be used in this way."

The two of them smiled and continued cutting potatoes. The three children came over to watch for a while, and were also very curious, asking a bunch of questions.

After hearing from Cheng Yue that the house was bought in the county town, the three children, especially Chen Lin, felt that their minds were becoming increasingly confused.

My mother always took him with her when she went to the county town, so how come he didn’t remember anything about buying potatoes?

The villagers say that only fools and old people can't remember things. I'm not old either, so is he really a fool?

Chen Tong and Chen Ning also always felt that something was wrong, but their mother often bought things when she came home, so maybe she bought it a few days ago and they just didn’t see it.

To prevent them from thinking too much, Cheng Yue asked them to work in the vegetable garden, and left the remaining potatoes to Chen An.

The potatoes have to be planted at least tomorrow, so let’s plant all the seeds today.

In the afternoon, Cheng Yue took her three children to weed the dry land outside the yard and turned it over.

This dry land was used to grow sweet potatoes, but this year there are no sweet potato seeds, and there are none in the space. Even if there were, it would be too late to grow seedlings, so it is a good idea to grow potatoes.

The soil required for potatoes and sweet potatoes is similar, and this piece of dry land is just right. It is also not far from their house, making it easy to look after.

The only thing is that carrying water is a bit troublesome. Although it is not far, it is tiring to carry it one trip at a time.

Cheng Yue thought about it and felt that she must find a suitable time to tell the children about the space. It would be inconvenient if only she and Chen An knew about it.

For example, when it comes to things like the potato issue, it takes a lot of effort to explain it every time. She’s afraid that the children’s memories will be confused, and even those with smart minds won’t be able to figure it out.

And now regarding the use of water, you can obviously take it directly from the space, but you insist on picking it yourself. Isn't this going the long way?

The main reason is that children are very sensible and I believe they will not say anything nonsense and will just wait for the right opportunity.

"Cheng Yue girl, what is this?" Sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning were squatting and weeding. Cheng Yue and Chen Lin were busy digging the ground and didn't notice anyone coming over.

Hearing the voice, Cheng Yue raised her head, "Uncle Lizheng? Why are you here?"

The village head held a potato in his hand, smiling with wrinkles all over his face. "I came up here to supervise them and see if they are working hard. What are you planting? It's black. Can you eat it?"
