Sui He watched Second Grandma and the others approaching with some nervousness, praying silently in his heart. When Second Grandma and the others approached, before they could teach Sui He a lesson, they saw the sweet potato vines and sweet potatoes on the ground.

Everyone came forward in surprise, picked up a sweet potato, pinched the sweet potato leaves, and asked Sui He in shock what this thing was.

"Did you find all these? What are these things?" Second Grandma asked in disbelief.

Sui He nodded and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I found it. I just saw a rabbit digging this thing and eating its leaves on the mountain, so I dug it out out of curiosity. I have tasted it and it is edible."

"Why did you eat it? How can you eat something of unknown origin? Spit it out quickly. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" After hearing that Sui He had already eaten one, the second grandmother hurried forward and tried to pinch her throat to induce vomiting.

"Yes, Chen Suihe, how can you eat these things so casually? It would be bad if you get poisoned." The aunt beside him also chimed in and hurried forward to help.

"Oh, grandma, I'm fine. I saw that the rabbit was fine after eating it and was still alive and kicking. This thing must not be poisonous. If it was poisonous, the rabbit would have been poisoned to death long ago."

Sui He hid from Second Grandma's hand and hurriedly explained, feeling bitter in her heart. This explanation seemed to scare Second Grandma. She was still too impulsive and did things without thinking things through.

"How do you know that the rabbit is okay? What if..." Second Grandma was anxious and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sui He.

"Really, grandma, I feel great now, and I'm not hungry. This thing is very filling and sweet. Look at it, grandma." He quickly picked up a very large one from the ground and handed it to the second grandma.

The second grandma took it unhappily, put it under her nose and sniffed it. A sweet fragrance came over her, and her stomach started to growl.

My eyes lit up: "This thing smells really good"

The second grandmother carefully looked at the sweet potato in her hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Although she didn't know it, she had lived in the countryside for many years.

She realized that this might be a kind of food she had never seen before. Even if she didn't know it, animals in nature have perceptions beyond humans.

In the past, when people discovered a new crop, they would first feed it to the animals at home. If the animals ate it and it was fine, then it meant that humans could eat it too (an old man in the village told me this method. To determine whether a crop is edible, you should first feed it to your dog. If the dog eats it, then it is edible. If the dog does not eat it, then it is not edible).

"Child, you did a great job." Second Grandma patted Sui He's shoulder with praise in her tone, "However, next time you encounter this kind of situation, you must tell us first, and don't try it lightly again."

"I understand, Second Grandma, I promise I won't do it again next time" Sui He said flatteringly.

"You told me the same thing last time? How many times have you promised me that?" Second Grandma rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I promise this is the last time, I will never do it again," Sui He said hastily.

"Oh, these leaves are so tender"

"This fruit smells so good. It's so big. One is enough for the whole family."

Everyone gathered around, full of curiosity about this novel food. They touched it here and there, reluctant to put it down.

"Let's take these things back and show them to the elders in the village," several aunts suggested. The elderly have lived for a long time and may know someone here. Maybe they will know more about this mysterious plant.

This proposal was approved by everyone, and then several aunts began to pack sweet potatoes. Each basket was filled to the brim and covered with a tattered cloth to prevent passers-by from seeing the contents and causing unnecessary trouble.

The few of them quickly went down the mountain. The others in the camp saw their happy faces and thought they had found something good, so they all gathered around to inquire about it.

When they arrived at the camp, Suihe separated from them.

Just now, everyone had divided the food on the mountain. They handed the things in their baskets to their village chief and asked him to distribute them to everyone. She kept the things in her basket for her family to eat. This way, no one would be jealous. Although the villagers of Linjia Village were kind and simple, they were very hungry and who knew what they would do.

Besides, there are more than just sweet potatoes in her space. Other crops are already ripe. As long as she can ensure that she has enough food, she doesn't mind sharing some with others.

If those villagers are not satisfied, she doesn't mind standing aside and keeping her distance.

Following his second grandmother, he came to his second grandfather. Looking at the two bulging backpacks, his second grandfather looked puzzled.

"what is this?"

"What else could it be? This damn girl found a new food and ate it without even recognizing it. She's not afraid of getting an upset stomach."

Although Second Grandma was shocked by these things at first, she was still a little scared now. She glared at Sui He again, looking as if she was disappointed in him.

Upon learning about this, Second Grandfather looked at Sui He with disapproval, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The aunts agreed to ignore the others and walked straight to the resting place of Village Chief Lin.

"Why are you all here instead of resting and looking for food?" Father Lin looked at everyone with a puzzled look on his face.

Several sisters-in-law placed their backpacks in front of Old Man Lin and said, "Village Chief, come and see what we found." One of the sisters pulled open a corner of the backpack, revealing the emerald green sweet potato vines and a dozen sweet potatoes in between.

"What is this?" Father Lin opened his eyes wide and looked at the things in the basket in disbelief. In this day and age, there are still such fresh and green plants. But what are these things?

"These were discovered by the Chen family boy. They are said to be edible. I brought them back to show them to the villagers to see if anyone recognizes them," said an aunt.

Hearing this, Father Lin immediately called several older people in the team to come over and identify it one by one, but they had never seen this kind of food before and were not sure whether it was edible.

"Third brother, you have read books, come and take a look, is this thing written in the book?" After thinking for a while, Father Lin hurriedly called his son over.

"This crop looks very strange, I have never seen it before, and it is not recorded in the book." Lin Ze came over and picked it up and looked at it for a long time, but found that he didn't recognize it either, "But it smells very fragrant."

"Since it was the kid from the Chen family who found it, why don't we go ask him? Since he said it's edible, he must have his reasons. Why don't we just go and ask him and we'll know," someone suggested.

"Okay, let's go find him and ask him what this thing is." Father Lin thought about it and agreed to this matter. He took the villagers to find Sui He.
