So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

There were already several large cracks on the ridge. Sui He felt around and found that they were quite wide.

These cracks are all the result of the sweet potatoes growing and pushing the two sides apart. The bigger the cracks, the fuller the sweet potatoes are.

At this time, the sweet potato vines have turned mostly yellow and the leaves are no longer edible.

Sui He used a sickle to cut off the sweet potato vines from the roots and pulled them out with his hands. The vines were pulled aside one by one.

Sui He cut and pulled the vines at the same time, and soon he had finished cutting a row of sweet potato vines.

An Zhi took the backpack and put all the sweet potato vines into the backpack. She promised to give the sweet potatoes at the bottom to Ning Lao to deal with, but she didn't say that the ones on the ground were also for him.

She wants to cut all the sweet potato vines and take them home to feed the cattle

Ever since they learned that Suihe and her friends were attacked by wild boars last time, grandpa and grandma would come with them every time they came to the sweet potato field.

This time is the same. Grandpa cuts the vines and grandma collects them. There are too many sweet potato vines. We cut a batch some time ago, and now there are many more growing.

Fortunately, there were many of them, and everyone in the house who could move started moving.

Suihe and Ning Lao were standing in the sweet potato field. Ning Lao put down his sickle, looked up at Suihe and asked, "Suihe, now that the sweet potato vines have been cut, should we dig the sweet potatoes next?"

Sui He continued to struggle with the sweet potato vine in his hand without even turning his head, and replied casually: "Yes, Mr. Ning, we can dig it up soon."

Old Ning looked at the half acre of sweet potato vines left, thought to himself, put down the sickle in his hand and went back home.

Sui He didn't care, just thinking that Mr. Ning had something to do.

After a while, Mr. Ning came back, followed by several strong men, each of whom was holding a large basket.

Sui He put down what he was holding, looked in the direction of Old Ning, and asked in surprise: "Old Ning, what are you doing?"

"These are the helpers I called. Let them come and dig later. You guys take a rest." Old Ning smiled and directed the men to put down the baskets in their hands.

The men didn't say anything. They took the sickles from Sui He and the others and started cutting.

With the help of these strong men, the sweet potato vines in the field were quickly cut, and the next step was to dig the sweet potatoes.

I guess it was because Mr. Ning had told them when they came that the strong men should be very careful when digging sweet potatoes.

The big sweet potatoes were dug out one by one. The people had a clear division of labor. One person dug in front and one person picked them up in the back. They moved very quickly and skillfully. At first glance, they looked like they often did farm work.

"Sui Sui, what are they doing?" Grandpa and grandma walked up to Sui He and looked at the people busy in the fields.

"It's okay, grandma. They were all called by Old Ning to help," Sui He explained to grandpa and grandma, "I sold all these sweet potatoes to Old Ning. Grandpa and grandma, you can just take a rest."

After saying that, Sui He pulled his grandmother to sit on the sweet potato vine nearby.

"My dear, look at that young man, he swings the hoe so well, so skillfully." Grandpa sat on the sweet potato vine and pointed at the man digging sweet potatoes and said to grandma: "I was like this when I was young, I was very good at working."

"Don't mention your past, it will make the children laugh at you." Grandma smiled and patted Grandpa's arm.

These people were really quick. It didn't take long for them to finish harvesting the sweet potatoes from the entire acre of land. The baskets they brought were already full, and the baskets were covered with sweet potato vines.

The sweet potato vines cover the sweet potatoes below tightly, leaving no gaps at all.

"Mr. Ning, you guys turned my land really clean." Sui He looked at the land that had been turned two or three times, and was filled with emotion. These people didn't even leave the thumb-sized sweet potatoes in the land.

"No way, no way," said Old Ning contentedly, looking at the land where no sweet potato could be found.

"Suihe, there are so many sweet potatoes in your field."

"Of course not." Sui He looked at the men standing upright and the several large baskets neatly arranged behind them.

"How are you going to take so much back?"

"Don't take them back. These things have to be taken to the farm." Old Ning looked at the pile of sweet potatoes and waved his hand at the people.

The man who received the order carried a large basket and headed for the official road. The official road was on the back of their mountain, and there were several ox carts parked on the road.

"Suihe, it's time for me to go too." Old Ning looked at the gradually filling ox cart and smiled at Suihe, "I should have left a long time ago, but I didn't expect to be delayed for so long. I have to go back and report."

"So soon?" The separation came so suddenly that Sui He was a little slow to react.

"Yes, thank you for your care recently. Don't worry, I will bring you what you want." Ning Lao nodded. He had to arrange these things as soon as possible.

"We can take these sweet potatoes back and plant another crop." Sui He thought for a moment and said, "But we need to plant them in a warm climate, and we need to pay attention to fertilizing the second crop of sweet potatoes. Although the yield will not be as much as the first crop, it is still not small."

"Can we plant a second crop?" Old Ning's eyes lit up, and he looked at Sui He excitedly. After getting Sui He's affirmation, he took a step back and bowed to Sui He: "Thank you, young lady, for finding such good food and being willing to share it. I thank you on behalf of the people of my dynasty."

"Mr. Ning, aren't you shortening my life? I can't bear it." Mr. Ning's sudden salute startled Sui He, who hurried forward to support Mr. Ning.

Grandpa and grandma also rushed forward to stop

"I can bear it." Old Ning stood up straight and looked at Sui He with burning eyes: "Having you is a blessing for our dynasty."

"That's too exaggerated!" Sui He waved her hands quickly. After all, Old Ning was her elder. An elder suddenly bowed to her, which was only frightening to her.

Seeing Sui He like this, Old Ning didn't say anything. Instead, he chatted with Grandpa for a few words and then said goodbye to everyone.

"Why are you leaving so soon? Stay a few more days!" Not to mention Sui He, even grandpa and grandma didn't react. Why did they say goodbye when they were living so well?

"I have some things to deal with at home. Besides, I have been bothering you for too long." After saying goodbye to the others, Old Ning went down the mountain and got on the carriage waiting on the side.

When Grandpa and the others saw the carriage, they understood that Old Ning had planned to leave after collecting the sweet potatoes, so they did not stop him.

The carriage went a long way, but grandpa and grandma were still standing there watching: "This departure is too sudden, we haven't prepared anything for him yet."

"It's okay, grandma. Elder Ning has something to deal with. After that, maybe we can meet again." Sui He consoled her and went forward to support her: "Grandma, let's go back."

Old Ning watched Sui He and the others go back through the car curtain, sighed, and then lowered the curtain.

He didn't want to leave, and he was reluctant to leave.

The days he spent at Suihe's house were the most comfortable days for him. This place was far away from the intrigues of the court.

Stay away from flattery in officialdom.

Everyone here is so simple and kind, he really doesn't want to leave.

However, he had other things to do, and he couldn't stay long.

Someone has been secretly asking about his whereabouts. If he wants to avoid being discovered in Qingshan Village, he must leave here ruthlessly.

Only in this way can we save Qingshan Village and Suihe and his people.
