Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

"Ah Cheng, go in and fish a little more, so we can fill up the big basket."

Ye Cheng actually didn't want to do this thankless task. What his aunt said was completely beyond his understanding.

Peddlers would come to the village from time to time, and everyone liked to gather around them to listen to some random news, but they were looking at the big backpack that was obviously empty.

If he doesn't satisfy his aunt today, there is a high probability that he will not be able to return home.

Strangely enough, after he finished eating a lotus root tip that was three sections long and as big as a thumb, he felt like he had some strength back, maybe it was his illusion.

He thought about it and nodded in agreement. It would only take a little more effort and he would just have to eat more wild vegetables.

Ye Cheng was responsible for picking, Ye Guo was responsible for washing and packing. It took nearly an hour to fill up the large backpack, which weighed as much as forty or fifty kilograms.

It is because no one has ever picked them before that the harvest is so abundant.

Ye Guo lowered his head and smiled contentedly. Lately, Old Lady Ye has been sighing because the family has too little food. Ye Guo secretly checked and found that the pottery jar for rice at home had already been emptied.

There isn't much corn and sweet potatoes left.

After every meal, Ye Guo would see Old Lady Ye touching the silver bracelet on her hand with nostalgia.

I heard from my second sister-in-law that it was Old Lady Ye’s dowry and she had worn it for decades.

Yejia Village is in the south. Under the current farming model, rice is grown once a year, and the autumn harvest is still one or two months away.

Now with the lotus root tips, at least we can have enough to eat, and the lotus root tips can also grow into lotus roots, which will then yield even greater amounts.

Lotus seeds from thousands of years ago can bloom and bear fruit again. Lotus roots are definitely a gift from nature and should be used reasonably.

Thinking about the by-products such as lotus root powder in the past, Ye Guo's thoughts drifted away.

Ye Cheng thought that he had already eaten it, so it wouldn't make a difference whether he ate more or less, so he picked some more, washed them, and ate them while walking on the road.

Ye Guo felt his teeth itching when he saw this, and he kept repeating to himself many times, this is his real nephew, real nephew, and only then did he suppress the resentment in his heart.

It was almost noon when the two men went down the mountain. They met many people along the way, but their backpacks were filled with lotus leaves from top to bottom and from left to right, so the villagers thought they were just going to pick lotus leaves.

Some people also noticed the lotus pods in their hands and worriedly reminded them not to eat them.

Listening to their simple voices, Ye Guo couldn't help but sigh at the kindness of the people here.

The two backpacks, one big and one small, were actually carried back by Ye Cheng in turns.

Ye Guo looks only about 10 years old and has never even carried water. The weight of the snails and lotus roots he carried was unusually large.

When the two returned home, they drank a lot of water as soon as they entered the door. Then they rested for a while before looking around for someone.

After looking around, the house was quiet. It seemed that Old Lady Ye was not at home either. She must have gone to the fields to deliver food.

Ye Guo was so tired that he didn't want to move, mainly because of the sun. His face was sunburned red, which made Ye Cheng feel distressed.

Thinking of what my aunt had said before about not having enough to eat, I secretly made up my mind that my aunt was in poor health and I must feed her fine grains as soon as possible.

Ye Guo didn't know what he was thinking. If she knew, she wouldn't know how to respond to his sudden concern.

Ye Cheng fetched a bucket of well water in the yard, found a few thick lotus root tips, broke them into small pieces, and washed clean even the mud and sand in the small holes before handing them over.

"Little aunt, fill your stomach first and go back to your room for a nap. We can wait for grandma to come back and take care of the rest."

The Ye family only eats two meals a day. Ye Guo went out without eating in the morning, so his stomach was already empty, and he even felt a little painful due to hunger.

She was able to walk all the way back because of her strength. While lamenting the original owner's weak body, she couldn't refuse the lotus root tip handed to her by Ye Cheng.

I ate about ten of them in one bite and finally I felt better.

But she didn't stop, and continued to eat until she was 70% full before standing up from the chair, "Ah Cheng, keep the snail in water first, and deal with it after I wake up."

"And this lotus root tip, you can't eat it raw today. I'll cook it tonight and you can eat it."

Although Ye Guo was puzzled, he wondered when his aunt knew how to go into the kitchen.

But it was a good habit not to ask, so he nodded obediently, "If I cook it and eat it, how do I wash it?"

"It will be fine if it's as long as a finger. It's easy to pick and wash. By the way, is there any garlic in the vegetable garden? If not, wild garlic will do. I want to stir-fry it to eat in the evening."

Ye Cheng pursed his lips and didn't mention that grandma locked up the oil can, nor did he mention that old lady Ye counted the garlic in the vegetable garden every day.

He nodded and watched Ye Guo enter the room. He waited for a while until he heard the sound of her lying down. Then he went back to the yard and began to wash the lotus roots diligently.

A large basin of lotus roots were washed as Ye Guo had instructed, but this time Ye Cheng didn't eat a single bite.

After he moved the lotus root tips to the kitchen, he found a large wooden basin that was not usually used from the utility room next to it.

I poured all the snails in the small basket into the pot, added some water, and left it alone. I couldn't eat them anyway, so it was nice to see even if they were a little dirty.

People in the village used to eat snails, but one day, someone ate them and became thinner and thinner, and finally died of the pain.

This was not an isolated case back then, so no one would eat it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But my grandparents still had to persuade my sister-in-law to change her wrong ideas.

Before, my aunt broke her head while going to the mountains to look for wild mushrooms to nourish everyone’s bodies, and then she accidentally slipped.

Thinking of this, Ye Cheng put all the lotus pods into the kitchen, found an empty jar for the lotus, and filled it with water.

It was obvious that the young girl went out specifically to pick lotus flowers, but when she brought the flowers back, she didn't even look at them.

But when he thought of the lotus roots, he felt very happy. Finally, he took the things he had worked on from the utility room and walked quickly towards the Ye family's fields.

What he didn't notice was that he had a rare smile on his face, his steps were light, and his heart was not weighed down by anything as before.

"Ah Cheng is here, where's Xiao Guo?"

When Old Lady Ye met Ye Cheng on the road, she felt that he looked like he had picked up money from somewhere, and she became even more satisfied with her arrangements for the day.

"My aunt fell asleep because she was tired." Ye Cheng smiled, "I let her eat before she went to bed, so grandma can rest assured."

Old Mrs. Ye remembered the porridge and wild vegetables she had left in the kitchen and nodded with satisfaction. "It's good to eat. I'll go back to see her."

"By the way, my aunt said she wanted to put some garlic in the dishes tonight."

"Okay, no problem, I'll go pull out two later."

It was like speaking at cross purposes, but surprisingly harmonious.

If Ye Guo were here, he would probably be extremely happy.

But she was still young and fell asleep quickly after eating.

She never thought that this dream almost scared her half to death.

Because she suddenly received all the memories of this body, and then her pupils burst and her worldview shattered.

She didn't just travel through time, she traveled through a book.

I was reborn as the cannon fodder female supporting role in the farming novel "A Childlike Sweetheart from Heaven, Six Babies in One Birth", who only appeared in one-third of the story.
