So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day
Chapter 17 Sweet Potato Harvest
"Hu Zi is fine, he has woken up. This time it's all thanks to your Sui He. If it weren't for her, we..." Aunt Liu burst into tears again: "This child has a miserable life. His mother died when he gave birth to him, and his father couldn't accept it, so he died too, leaving only the three of us to depend on each other."
"This..." Hearing what Sister Liu said, Second Grandma couldn't help but think of herself. Their current situations were surprisingly similar. The only difference was that Hu Zi was their biological grandson, and Sui Sui
Thinking of this, the second grandmother looked at her granddaughter who was teasing Hu Zi. She felt someone was looking at her. Sui He looked in the direction of the gaze and saw that it was her second grandmother. She smiled sweetly at her.
Yeah, he's heartless.
"Okay, Aunt Liu, it's getting late and the weather is getting hotter. Go back quickly to prevent the children from getting heat stroke." Second Grandma waved her hand to signal Aunt Liu to leave.
"But...I..." Sister Liu wanted to say something else
Lin Defu, who had been following silently, said, "Old lady, let's go back." He made up his mind that since the Suihe family did not accept him, they must have their reasons. When he could stop, he would find a way to repay them.
Aunt Liu wiped away her tears, glanced at Lin Defu, nodded, thanked the Second Grandma, then carried Hu Zi and followed Lin Defu back to her seat.
After Aunt Liu walked away, Second Grandma looked at Sui He with praise in her eyes, "Well done. But next time, don't take risks alone. Compared to others, you are the most important."
Sui He nodded: "I understand, Second Grandma, I promise not to go alone next time, I will definitely invite a few more people to go with me."
"Will there be a next time?" Second Grandma stared at Sui He as if she knew how to grasp the key points.
"No, no, there won't be a next time," Sui He hurriedly explained.
"Oh, I don't know how long our food can last. It looks like we still have to walk a long way to the next county. There's no village in front and no shop behind. What should we do?" The second grandmother, who was still teasing Sui Sui, suddenly frowned and sighed.
Sui He nodded, looking at the forest not far away, he already had an idea in his mind, "It's okay, grandma, when I take a break, I'll go up the mountain to see if there is anything to eat. There must be food on such a big mountain, don't worry."
It doesn't matter if there is no food. She has space for it. She just doesn't know how to get it. She will think of a way when the time comes and see if she can find a suitable reason to justify it.
"Okay." Second Grandma agreed with Sui He's idea, "Let your grandfather go with you later, but you have to be careful. You are unfamiliar with this place, so you have to be careful."
"No, grandma. I'll find someone to go with me later. I'm young and can walk fast, so I'll be back soon. You just wait for me here. I'll be worried about you if you go up the mountain." Sui He hurriedly stopped them. She didn't want to take them up. How could she find a chance to get the things out if she took them up?
"Aunt Chen..." As they were talking, a few familiar-looking people walked by. They were all villagers from Linjia Village.
"Is there anything wrong?" Second Grandma came forward and asked
"It's like this, we don't have much food at home, and we want to go look for some wild vegetables, so I came to ask if you want to go, if you want to go, we can go together."
"Okay, my grandson happens to be planning to go up the mountain to have a look, so let's go together." Second Grandma turned to look at Sui He, "Didn't you just say you wanted to find someone to go with you? This is just right. And I'll go too, so nothing will go wrong with so many people."
Sui He nodded helplessly, and the others walked up the mountain together. Along the way, everyone was looking for edible wild vegetables and fruits. However, after two years of drought, the grass near the periphery was all dry and yellow, and even if there was anything edible, it had already been dug up.
The crowd could only go to the mountains, where they could find some edible grass roots, which they could chop up and cook with the batter to fill their stomachs and save some food.
As Suihe walked, he paid attention to the surrounding environment. He looked at the second grandmother and several other women from Linjia Village who were looking for wild vegetable roots.
Are you sure? When the Second Grandma noticed her, she quietly walked to another path. When she was a certain distance away and could not see other people, Sui He entered the space in the blink of an eye.
Standing in the vegetable garden in the space, looking at the sweet potato vines all over the ground, Sui He squatted down and grabbed one and lifted it up. He quickly found the location of the root along the vine. There were five vines climbing on a sweet potato vine, and the densely packed leaves were emerald green.
Grabbing the rhizome near the soil and applying a little force, he easily pulled up the sweet potatoes by the roots. The sweet potatoes were very big, and there were five of them, each as big as two fists. Sui He's eyes sparkled with green light.
He put the sweet potato in his hand aside and reached out to pluck one. In a short while, he had plucked all the sweet potatoes in the whole field. Looking at the pile of sweet potatoes in the space, it was so big that it weighed hundreds of kilograms. These were cultivated from the sweet potatoes in the refrigerator.
Plant the mother sweet potato in the soil, wait for it to grow vines, and then wait until the vines grow to a certain length, cut them into small sections, leaving at least two leaves on each section, and then plant them horizontally in the ground.
Wait for the remaining mother plants to continue to germinate and grow, repeat this action, and the space will pass quickly. In a few days, a large area will be planted.
She had always known that sweet potatoes were high-yielding, but she had never expected that the sweet potatoes in the space were so high-yielding. Each one was very large, and even the smallest one was the size of a fist.
Not to mention sweet potatoes, even the vines are edible. Although the vines are a bit old, the leaves are still tender. Chop them up and cook them into porridge, which is much more delicious than those wild vegetable pastes.
Looking at the sweet potatoes in front of him, Sui He took two and went into the kitchen to wash them with water to remove the dirt. He then started to eat them without peeling them, savoring the unique sweetness of the sweet potatoes in his mouth. After a while, he had eaten the whole sweet potato. The sweet potatoes were big enough, and he had eaten less these days, so his stomach was small, so he was full after eating just one.
I burped a little and saw the small tomatoes in the field. I couldn't help but pick two and put them in my mouth. I took a bite and my mouth was full of juice. It was so delicious.
After having a full stomach, Sui He turned her attention to the pile of sweet potatoes. She planned to keep some as mother plants and give the rest to her grandparents.
Moreover, the food cannot be eaten by just their family. It is difficult to avoid being discovered by others when everyone is together. Food must be given, but how to give it is a problem.
While thinking, Sui He left the space and began to walk towards a place where few people went. He soon found a piece of wasteland halfway up the mountain. There were no weeds on this wasteland. It should have been someone else's farmland in the past. However, there was no crop now and the land was loose, which gave Sui He an opportunity.
With a thought, a mountain of sweet potatoes appeared on the open space, along with a large pile of sweet potato vines. Sui He did not take out all of them, but only half. Although only half, it was still not a small amount.
"Sui Sui" a voice came from the distance. It was Second Grandma and the others who found that Sui He was missing.
"Hey... Grandma... I'm here." Sui He, standing halfway up the mountain, shouted towards the direction of the voice and waved his hands vigorously.
Hearing the response, Second Grandma and the others walked towards Suihe.
I wonder what my second grandmother's expression would be when she sees these foods.
