On the 10th of July, it was sunny.

The sky was slightly bright, and she had yet to wake up from her dream.

The village head’s sonorous and impassioned voice came out of the village’s loudspeaker again, “villagers of Taoxi village, tomorrow is the day when we come to the city to collect the goods. We must pick all the things in the field and prepare before the people come! Hurry up and get up! On the ground! Get busy!”

The whole village seemed to have been activated in an instant. Soon, the sound of washing, footsteps, and shouting from every household came together enthusiastically and enthusiastically.

Qiqi and Zhang Xifeng also actively responded to the call. The old and the young got up, ate something, took the farm equipment and gunny sacks, and set off.

Along the way, she could see the villagers chasing after her and overtaking her in groups.

Everyone had a bright smile when they ran to their destination.

This scene made people laugh unconsciously.

Qiqi pursed her lips, and her eyes curved slightly. “Granny, we’ll be able to earn money tomorrow.”

Zhang Xifeng laughed. “That’s right. We’ll be able to earn money tomorrow. There’s hope and ambition. We’ll be a dozen years younger.”

Take her, for example. She might be tiptoeing, but she was carrying a hoe in one hand and a baby in the other. Now, she walked with the wind.

..

The sun had not yet risen, but the area around the village entrance was already in a lively state.

In order to complete the work as soon as possible, men, women, old and young, from all families worked together. Even the little children who could work were all put to use.

Everyone chatted loudly as they worked. It was bustling with activity.

Influenced by the atmosphere, Qiqi felt full of energy.

When they reached their sweet potato field, Qiqi picked up a sickle and started to cut the sweet potato vines.

“Granny, let’s finish cutting the bamboo vines first. Then, you plow the ground and loosen the soil. I’ll pick up the sweet potatoes from behind.” She spoke and arranged the work.

Zhang Xifeng agreed with a smile. Even if she didn’t, the child had her ideas and would always fight with her for work.

Next to Zhang Xifeng’s house was the village’s old Li’s sweet potato field. The old couple busied themselves together, bringing their grandson Li Doggie along.

Seeing that Qiqi had come, Li Doggie shouted, “Qiqi, I’ll help you later!”

Li Doggie’s grandma glared at him. “You’re the only one who can’t eat anything and can’t do anything. You still have the cheek to say that you’re helping Qiqi? Ren Qiqi’s hard work is more than the two of you!”

The people around him burst into laughter.

While they were laughing, someone suddenly ran over from the ridge. His footsteps were hurried, and his expression was strange. Quick, cut the bamboo vines and dig out all the sweet potatoes in your house!

The meaning behind these words made everyone’s laughter stop, and their hearts skipped a beat.

“What happened?” Someone asked anxiously.

“Don’t ask anymore. Hurry up and dig!”

The people on the ridge didn’t leave either. They kept urging him, and their expressions became more and more strange.

The people in the field were panicking. Old Li took the two-toothed hoe and dug into the ground. The soil loosened, and the sweet potatoes buried under it were exposed.

Old Li’s face changed, and his wife was so scared that her face turned pale.

“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that the sweet potatoes have gone bad?”

Old Li shook his head, staring straight at the sweet potatoes in the pit. After a long while, he stammered, “six, six ..”

“What six?”

“A nest of six! There’s a nest of six sweet potatoes here!” Old Li suddenly roared and followed the hoe without stopping. He dug half a Ridge in one breath. Five, seven, six, nine!

Grandma Li squatted on the ridge, her eyes dull.

Seeing this, the people around them hurriedly picked up their hoes and plowed their fields. When they saw the stacks of sweet potatoes, “...”

The person who first spoke on the ridge sat down and laughed wildly, “hahaha! I dug two ridges in my field, and the sweet potatoes were all in five, six, or seven nests. I thought there was an evil spirit in my land ..”

Before he could finish his words, the mud balls in the field fell on him like rain.

“Zhang Gousheng! You’re doing this on purpose, right? So you’re here to scare us!”

“Smash this damned kid to death! You don’t know how to speak, and you’re trying to mess around us!”

“Calm down! He’s just scared himself and came to us overreacted! ”

Zhang Gousheng covered his head and fled like a rat.

Even so, he couldn’t escape and was chased and kicked by people.

As the sweet potatoes were dug out, each had a high yield without exception, and it was rare to see less than four.

Moreover, the sweet potatoes this year looked very different from the previous years.

Although these sweet potatoes were still not very big, about half the size of an adult’s palm, their shapes were well-proportioned, and they looked very pleasing to the eye.

Someone estimated the sweet potato field they had dug up on the spot. This time, the sweet potato yield per mu was close to 7000 Jin!

It was more than twice as much as the previous years!

The villagers of Taoxi village in the sweet potato field went crazy.

He was overjoyed.

According to the rate of three cents per catty, they could earn two hundred Yuan per mu of land!

In previous years, this was something that no one dared to even think about!

Moreover, due to land and labor problems in their village, every household planted very little in the paddy field. The ones that were produced the most were sweet potatoes and watermelons!

Every household had more than two mu of sweet potatoes!

..

Zhang Xifeng and Qiqi also had half a ridge of sweet potatoes, and there were at least five in a nest.

Zhang Xifeng squatted there, holding a nest of sweet potatoes in her hand. She looked at them carefully and sized them up. She didn’t say anything, but the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

“Granny, are you unhappy?” The little child beside her asked worriedly in a soft voice.

Zhang Xifeng blinked away the tears in her eyes and smiled. “No, Granny is very happy. Our sweet potatoes have also been harvested, and we can earn much money.”

Zhang Xifeng lowered her head and touched her forehead affectionately with the little child next to her as she spoke. Her eyes were kind and loving. “Ever since Qiqi came, Granny’s life has been hopeful, and even her luck seems to have improved. Who knows, Qiqi is Granny’s little lucky star.”

She was praised again. She was even called a lucky little star. Qiqi was so happy that she showed her little teeth. “Eggie, Granny said I’m a lucky little star!”

In the sea of consciousness, the little egg-man snorted and spoke sacrastically. “It’s rare to see so many strange things!”

“Maybe it’s true? Look at the sweet potato harvest. Ganny is so happy that her nose and eyes are red.”

“..”The little egg-man looked at the savings pool with a serious expression. She made up her mind that she would never let the stupid brat know that she had the ability to make whatever she spoke about and wished for happen.

Outside, the child was still giggling. “When I first sold garbage for money, I was happier than the villagers.”

“How much did you earn the first time?”

“27 cents!”

“..”The little egg-man turned over and closed his eyes. He shouldn’t have talked to the stupid baby.

However, he was in a good mood.

The space at the bottom of the storage pool had already been filled up, and the energy was still slowly increasing.

When the villagers’ products were sold and they earned their money, another ‘huge sum’ for himself should be coming in.

The little egg-man squinted his eyes and looked forward to it.
