Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Seeing this, her mother, Mrs. Wu, who was watching the fun from the side, immediately followed her daughter's footsteps.

The mother and daughter have a very close relationship and support each other at all times.

The two of them talked in low voices:

"Mother, do you think my mother-in-law has suddenly become much smarter today?"

Zhang Ni said excitedly, "Since coming here, she has not only been very kind to our family, but also to the villagers. Look at how much food she's willing to give out today..."

There was a hint of disbelief in Zhang Ni's voice, and it was obvious that she was very surprised by her mother-in-law's behavior this time.

Mother Wu said sternly, "Niwa, don't say things like that anymore! Your mother-in-law is very broad-minded. She understands that in difficult times, only by working together can we overcome difficulties. Besides, Su Village is my husband's hometown, and we are family."

After saying that, she coughed lightly and added, "Believe me, with such a generous and kind elder, we will definitely not go hungry."

Her tone was full of determination and revealed a sense of pride.

Zhang Nizi said with a smile, "Mom, I'm just telling you this. I don't dare tell anyone else. If my mother-in-law finds out, she'll definitely give me a beating with a stick."

There was a mischievous glint in her eyes, and she seemed quite proud of her own little trick.

Mrs. Wu smiled and patted her gently, "Go wash it quickly, cut it into pieces and cook it until it's soft, so the children can enjoy it."

There was a hint of kindness in her words, as if she was happy for the children who were about to enjoy the delicious food.

The afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the branches, casting dappled shadows.

The whole village is shrouded in warm light, giving people a feeling of warmth and peace.

The people in Sujia Village gathered around several large pots, holding bowls and chopsticks, eating and laughing.

"This thing is called potato. It's really delicious. It's more fragrant than meat."

One of the men took a bite of the potato in his hand and spoke with satisfaction.

"Haha, since it smells better than meat, then just give me the meat. If you like meat, just eat more."

A villager nearby responded jokingly, causing a burst of laughter.

"Get out! Forget it! Meat is good, potatoes are good, both must be left."

Another villager firmly refused, his eyes full of cherishment for the delicious food.

Everyone was chatting and laughing happily, and the whole village seemed to be shrouded in a warm atmosphere.

This meal made everyone understand completely that potatoes and sweet potatoes are really good treasures. They not only fill the stomach, but also bring more possibilities to future life.

The old village chief licked the oil stains at the corners of his mouth, not even willing to wipe them off with his hands. He was obviously savoring the delicious meal he had just had, with a happy smile on his face.

"Hey, this meal is so satisfying! Lan Zhen, have you saved the seeds? When we settle down in Youzhou in the future, we must plant more potatoes and sweet potatoes. With these, our lives will get better and better."

The old village chief's voice was full of expectations for the future.

Li Lanzhi replied, "Don't worry, old village chief, the seeds are ready. I heard these two are quite easy to grow. First, you need to germinate them, and then after they sprout, you can cut them into pieces and bury them in the soil. Especially the sweet potatoes. Once the seedlings start to grow, you can cut them and plant them in the soil to propagate them. If you keep doing this, you will soon have a large area of ​​sweet potatoes growing."

Li Lanzhi continued, "In addition, the tender leaves of sweet potatoes can be stir-fried and eaten, making them a great home-cooked dish. The dried vines can also be used to feed chickens, ducks, geese, and even donkeys. It really kills two birds with one stone!"

Everyone was extremely excited as they imagined what the future would be like with these crops.

If we can really migrate to Youzhou and successfully find a piece of land to settle down there, we will definitely have better living conditions.

At this moment, they were chewing the wild vegetable pancakes in their hands with relish, while drinking the fragrant potato and chicken soup, full of infinite longing and yearning for the good days that were about to come.

After finishing their meal, the diligent villagers had almost no time to rest. They all got up, took their tools and went up the mountain to dig wild grass or catch some small animals, trying to accumulate as much food resources as possible for emergencies or as reserves.

Sun Wan chose to return to her simple hut and lie down to rest. She planned to take advantage of this time to look through the product information in the mall and some things she had brought back from the prefectural government. Perhaps she could find some methods or items to help her improve her current situation.

"Yuemei, Yuemei--" a voice called from afar.

When Su Yuemei heard the familiar voice, she immediately stopped what she was doing and turned around to look.

Standing in front of me was a strong and sturdy young man. Although his skin was dark, he was full of health.

There was an unusual firmness between his brows, his eyes flashing with determination, and he walked towards her with a handful of blueberries in his hand.

Seeing the young man approaching, Su Yuemei's heartbeat instantly quickened a few beats, and her cheeks unconsciously turned red. She was obviously moved by his sudden arrival.

"Yuemei, these are for you. I picked some wild blueberries specially for you. They're very sweet. And the ones I picked this time are all relatively large and juicy. I think you should like this kind of fruit, right?"

The young man spoke sincerely to the girl he loved.

But Su Yuemei subconsciously stretched out her hands and immediately retracted them. She turned her back to the man and gently shook her head to refuse. "No... no, Brother Bao, I really don't need this. You should take it home and let your mother try it. She will definitely like to eat such delicious fruits."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to accept it, the boy frowned and explained, "There are still many. I have prepared many portions for my mother. Really, you can take it. Take it away and let Miaomiao and the others try it. I guarantee they will like it. Songbai and the others have already eaten it at my house and they are all very satisfied."

Su Yuemei hesitated and slowly stretched out her hands to take the large leaf bag he handed over.

Unexpectedly, her hands actually held the snow leopard's hands.

The girl's hands began to tremble slightly. Just as she was about to let go, the person on the other side had already pulled away.

Then the broad leaf and the crystal clear berries in the middle all fell into her palm.

The young man quickly crossed his arms behind his back and rubbed his ears continuously, his face flushing slightly.

"Hey...girls, you...just eat it. I'm going up the mountain!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into a big tree next to him.

Su Yuemei looked at his silly look and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The clear and pleasant laughter echoed in the valley. Zhang Kun's face turned even redder and he rushed into the mountain like a fly.

Sun Wan began to carefully examine the things she had collected from the prefectural government warehouse.
