"This is how sweet potatoes are grown," said Father Lin with emotion. He then gave Grandpa a thumbs up and said, "I left a small amount and was afraid of wasting it, so I didn't start planting it yet. I didn't expect you to have planted it first."

"Yes, we have been researching this for a while, and we didn't expect to figure it out by accident. If you are willing, you can try our method." Grandpa nodded and pointed to the mother sweet potato vine: "There are still a lot of vines here, we can't use them all, you can take some back and try."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. I'll go back and ask my two boys to dig the ground." Father Lin nodded and said, "I also have some sweet potatoes left at home. I'll use them as mother plants to see if they can grow. Then we can all share them and plant them."

"This sweet potato is really good. You should have seen it before, needless to say," said Father Lin to the Lin family members who came with him that year.

"I have a few at home, and I plant them too." People who have eaten sweet potatoes agree. As rural people, saving seeds when seeing good things is an instinct engraved in their bones, so the families that received sweet potatoes that year more or less kept some.

When they came here, those who had extra money had already bought two mu of land, and were also making mud bricks bit by bit to store them up. When they had enough, they could build a house.

Those who have no money at home choose to open up wasteland around them. Although the land is a bit barren, they can still make a living if they work hard.

"What are you guys looking at?" Aunt Li, who was watching, pulled Sui He and asked in a low voice. She had never seen such a plant before. It looked really green, but she didn't know why the Lin family was so excited.

"Aunt Li, they are going to plant sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are really precious. The young leaves can be eaten, the stems can be used to feed livestock, and more importantly, the sweet potatoes below can be eaten as meals." Sui He did not mention the yield. She knew that the yield of sweet potatoes was high, but she was afraid that they would not believe her if she told them.

"It's impossible. How can there be such food?" The villagers of Qingshan Village were puzzled. They really had never seen such food before. Not only the roots and stems were edible, but also the leaves and stems.

"I don't think it's possible either," the villagers nearby questioned, "If there really is such food, it should have been discovered long ago. Why don't we know about it?"

The villagers were skeptical. They had never seen this sweet potato before, so they naturally remained skeptical.

"We don't know either. We found this in the wild when we were fleeing famine. We tasted it and it tasted really good, so we saved some and tried to plant it." Sui He did not explain any more. It was too troublesome to explain. It would be better to speak with facts in the future.

"Aunt Li, I still have some sweet potato vines here. Take some back and try. It won't take up much land." Sui He pointed to the mother land. She did have a lot of sweet potato vines in her hand. If she wasn't afraid of suspicion, she would have planted sweet potatoes all over Qingshan Village.

"Okay, I'll take some back. It doesn't take up much land anyway. I see the leaves are really tender. It would be nice to make a dish to improve the diet." Aunt Li nodded and agreed. She had to farm anyway, so it wouldn't be a problem to free up two ridges to plant sweet potatoes.

Seeing that Aunt Li's family wanted to plant, those who were on good terms with Sui He's family also expressed their willingness to plant some. The rest of the villagers kept a wait-and-see attitude, and Sui He did not force them to do so.

"Then we will go back first, clear the land as soon as possible and plant the sweet potatoes." After saying that, Father Lin took his son away.

Old Man Lin's family was better off than others, and with his sons' hard work, they soon established themselves in Qingshan Village, built houses, and bought good farmland.

He also gave Lin Wangwang a wife

As soon as he got back home, Father Lin arranged for his family to start preparing the land and planting sweet potatoes.

Several men were digging the soil with hoes in front, while Zhao Sujuan and her daughter-in-law were clearing the grass roots in the back.

"Mom, should we also plant something called sweet potatoes?" Zhou Guoer picked up the grass roots that had been turned up from the ground.

Although Zhou Guoer is small, she is good at work. After a while, she cleared all the grass roots around her, even those that were buried a little deep.

Farm girls, no matter how favored they are at home, still have to work.

"Yes, you haven't eaten it. This sweet potato is a good thing. It tastes sweet and delicious." Zhao Sujuan raised a piece of wood to break up the big clod of earth, and answered her daughter-in-law: "Besides, this sweet potato is big. Eating one can make you skip meals. When it grows out, I'll pick a few tender leaves, chop them up, and cook them into porridge for you to try."

"Well, let's clean up the land quickly and plant it early." Zhou Guoer agreed happily, and her hands moved faster. Several people worked quickly and cleaned up the land.

Not only Lin's family was preparing the land to plant sweet potatoes, but several other families were also preparing to plant sweet potatoes.

They did not go to Suihe's house to get sweet potato vines, but tried to cultivate the mother plant themselves. If there were not enough later, they would go to Suihe's house to get more.

For several days in a row, all the land in Qingshan Village that had been idle for a winter was turned over, and large tracts of land were exposed on the surface, waiting for people to plant seeds.

The vines in the mother land of the Suihe family's sweet potatoes have been almost cut and distributed to several families who are willing to grow sweet potatoes with them. But it doesn't matter, in a few days this mother land will be covered with sweet potato vines again.

These sweet potato vines grew very fast. In just a few days, they all survived and took root in this unfamiliar land. Then they grew the third and fourth leaves.

Sui He took out the tomato and pepper seeds reserved in the space, soaked them in water, and waited for them to absorb the water.

Level out two plots of land in the backyard, water them thoroughly, sprinkle the water-saturated seeds evenly on the soil, and leave the rest to time.

During this process, the soil should be kept moist at all times.

Suihe has been with his grandparents for a while, working from sunrise to sunset. Although the days are long and tiring, they are also fulfilling.

So full that she felt like she had forgotten something

"Damn, space!" Sui He, who was busy all day and ready to rest, slapped her head and remembered that there were blind box seeds in her space. The next second, space appeared.

As soon as I entered the space, I was attracted by a field of pink flowers.

"What is this?" Sui He looked at the large patch of pink four-petal flowers in front of him and said, "Is this evening primrose?"

Sui He plucked off a flower, looked at it carefully, and smelled it. It was indeed evening primrose. The seeds that Manager Li brought actually contained evening primrose.

Why does Suihe know this kind of flower? Because there is one in the park downstairs, and it is spectacular every time it blooms.

The flowers are very beautiful when they bloom, and they have strong reproductive ability. She can take some out and spread them on the back hill. In less than two years, it will grow into a sea of ​​flowers. Moreover, this kind of flower has a long flowering period, so it is very good for viewing.

Suihe checked the other seeds and found that most of them were grass flowers, which are commonly known as wild flowers in their hometown.

After spending so much effort to find seeds, there was not a single edible one. Sui He was a little disappointed.

But there are indeed some strange plants in it, strange plants with small fruits. Sui He curiously plucked one and broke open the brown fruit. Thousands of seeds with thin wings exploded from the fruit.

These seeds are floating and falling from the palm of the hand like snow

Suihe was forced to make an artificial snowfall. People will laugh when they are extremely speechless. Suihe is in this mood now.
