Chapter 162 Let’s Go Digging Sweet Potatoes

Jiang Ruisheng dug a lot of lotus roots for them, so Ye Xunqing could go to the town to sell glutinous rice lotus roots again. After selling this time, he had to take a break for a while, seize the time to stock up on food for the winter, and then lie down for another winter.

He would wait until next year to make money. He really didn't like going out in cold weather. Although selling hot glutinous rice lotus roots in cold weather was very profitable, he preferred to stay in bed.

When they came back in the afternoon, Liu Laiyan was waiting at their door. He brought an orange-peeled pumpkin to give to Ye Xunqing and also brought some soybeans.

"I heard from Da Mi that you like to eat young pumpkins. There are no young ones now, only old ones. The old ones are also sweet, you can try them." Liu Lai Yan handed the thing to him.

Seeing his expression, Ye Xunqing asked, "Aunt, are you in a good mood today?"

Liu Laiyan smiled and said, "It's very good. By the way, Xiaomi is wearing a hairband today, it's so beautiful. I'll ask her to come over and show it to you later."

"Yeah." Ye Xunqing was just about to ask Xiaomi to come over to eat meatballs. "Aunt, take some lotus roots back to eat. Ask them to come over for dinner in the evening. I'll make lotus root meatballs for dinner."

"Okay, I'll go back and tell them later." Liu Laiyan was about to leave after delivering the things.

Ye Xunqing asked him to come in and sit down, and to take back the cloth and cotton for making clothes.

These cottons still belonged to Feng Jinghua, but he didn't want them anymore, so he gave them all to Ye Xunqing and the others.

Ye Xunqing also did not forget his cotton-padded jacket, and made him a new one every time, and also sewed a quilt for him.

Liu Laiyan took the cloth and cotton back, but he couldn't hold them all, so Ye Xunqing asked Mo Yuyan and Ye Xunbai to take him back.

When he came back, he had two more little followers, Da Mi and Xiao Mi.

Xiaomi wore new clothes today. I guess they were made for her by Liu Laiyan before but she was reluctant to wear them.

"Brother Qing, what a beautiful bell." When Xiaomi saw Ye Xunqing, her face smiled like a spring flower.

"Xiaomi baby, come here and let your brother see you." Ye Xunqing loved the little girl so much. She was so well-behaved and cute, she was simply a little angel on earth.

Xiaomi hugged Ye Xunqing's neck and said sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Qing."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Ye Xunqing said, "Xiaomi baby is so cute."

There were many children, so Ye Xunqing arranged for them to move the lotus roots down. The children had plenty of strength, and when they heard that Ye Xunqing wanted them to move the lotus roots, they rushed to do it.

Even at this age, Mo Yuyan still competes with them, wanting to show off in front of Brother Qing and leave a good impression on him.

Ye Xunqing was happy and relaxed. He leaned against the door with his hands clasped together, watching them move the lotus roots and arranging where they should move them.

It was getting late, and Ye Xunqing had to prepare dinner. It was indeed cold in this shed, and it was time to build a new kitchen.

In the evening, when Feng Jingheng came back and saw a room full of children, he felt like his brain was about to explode. They were all surrounding Ye Xunqing and there was no place for him to sit on the ground.

"Brother Qing, please continue. Did that little brother finally reunite with his eleven brothers?"

"Brother Qing, I still want to hear the story of the frog turning into a prince."

"Brother, I want to hear the story of a fox spirit turning into a human."

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "No more talking, Brother Heng is back, all of you should disperse and don't take Brother Heng's place."

He had seen Feng Jingheng coming in with a dark face, and Feng Jingheng refused to sit down, probably thinking of kicking him out.

Hearing Ye Xunqing say this, Feng Jingheng was happy. He carried Da Mi outside and then sat in Da Mi's seat.

What's a little boy doing so close to his wife? Get out of the way.

Among this group of people, only Liu Xiaojing didn't like to sit next to Ye Xunqing. She liked to sit next to the food so that she could eat more.

"Where is Xiao An?" Feng Jingheng asked her.

Liu Xiaojing replied: "Xiao An didn't come. He said that if we all came, no one would eat the food that A Niang cooked, and A Niang would be sad."

Feng Jingheng didn't say much.

Halfway through the meal, Feng Jing'an brought over a lot of sweet potatoes, "Brother, sister-in-law, we dug some sweet potatoes today, and you haven't dug any yet, so I'll send some over for you." There were too many sweet potatoes for the two of them to carry back, so they borrowed Ye Xunqing's donkey cart.

Feng Jingheng asked him to put the sweet potato down and said, "Sit down and eat something."

"I've eaten." Feng Jing'an smiled, "Just let Xiaojing eat it."

Liu Xiaojing poked a lotus root ball and gave it to him. "Try it. My second sister-in-law made it. It has meat in it."

Feng Jing'an ate the meatballs and went back.

"When are you going to dig sweet potatoes, I'll help you." Liu Xiaojing said, "I'm very fast at digging sweet potatoes."

Feng Jingheng said, "Listen to Ah Qing. If he wants to eat, just go and dig it."

Now that the weather is cold and the sweet potatoes are sweet, they can indeed be dug out and hidden.

"Well... let's go dig tomorrow." Ye Xunqing said, "It should be sunny tomorrow too."

Feng Jingheng said: "I've called people over to lay the foundation tomorrow."

"It's okay. I'll take Xiao Yan, Xiao Bai and the others to dig. You do your thing. We'll work on both fronts." Ye Xunqing said with a smile, "After we dig sweet potatoes tonight, we'll bake sweet potato pies and have some rice and millet to eat."

"Let's help my brother dig sweet potatoes." Da Mi raised his arms. "I'm very strong."

Xiaomi also said, "I can help my brother pick up sweet potatoes."

Ye Xunqing thought: Okay, okay, you all go and dig, and I'll just watch from the side.

The next morning when the sun came out, Ye Xunqing drove the donkey cart to the middle of the mountain.

Da Mi and Xiao Mi had already arrived. Xiao Mi had changed her clothes, but she still had her hairband on. She didn't need her head to work, so she could just use her hands and legs. The brother and sister, carrying baskets on their backs and small rakes in their hands, looked quite capable.

Passing by the village chief's house, Ye Xilan saw them and asked what they were doing. Da Mi was quick-witted and said, "Sister Lan, Brother Qing said we're going to dig sweet potatoes and make candied sweet potatoes tonight. Do you want to join us for some? Or rather, come dig together?"

Ye Xilan said: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

She went into the house and said something to her mother. When she came out, she had changed her clothes and got a shovel.

Wang Qiumei ran after him and said, "Let's hang out with Brother Qing more often. He's teaching Brother Bai how to read. Let him teach you too."

Ye Xilan smiled and said, "I understand, mother. I won't be back for dinner tonight. Brother Xunqing said he would make some delicious sweet potatoes."

Wang Qiumei laughed and scolded, "You greedy girl, who would dare to marry you in the future?"

"No, no, I don't want to get married..." Before she finished speaking, she ran away.

Ye Xiyun came out of the house after hearing the noise. He had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for many days.

"Yun'er, mother knows you don't want to stay at home to make wedding clothes, but the wedding day is approaching, you have to hurry up." Wang Qiumei said with concern.

Since getting engaged, Ye Xiyun has been smiling less and less every day.

Ye Xiyun listened to the laughter fading away and murmured, "But Qing Ge'er wasn't like this before..."

Before getting married, Ye Xunqing did whatever he wanted, even making his wedding dress.

"That's because Jing Heng dotes on him." Wang Qiumei shook her head and said, "My child, let's not compare ourselves with them. The Wang family is much better than the Feng family."

But the person Ye Xiyun was going to marry was much worse than the one Ye Xunqing was going to marry, and Ye Xiyun couldn't say this out loud.
