Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 542 Digging Sweet Potatoes

It was a cold and dewy night in late autumn.

Mrs. Zhen was worried that Xiao Fuyuan would get cold if she went to the fields at night, so she asked her to stay at home.

In addition, Xie Chuntao was pregnant, so the two of them happened to be company.

But Xiao Fuyuan was unwilling. She wanted to participate in digging sweet potatoes.

So, in addition to Xie Chuntao and Xiao Lang, all the young and old in the Bai family came to the sweet potato field with hoes, baskets and sacks.

Under the moonlight, the sweet potato field showed a rich ink color, and the vines were covered with dew.

"If we dig, we will dig it all in one go tonight and we can't stop." Old Mrs. Bai said.

Mainly because I was afraid of being discovered by the villagers.

If the digging is not completed tonight, the ground will be half dug and half full of vines, which will definitely arouse the curiosity of the villagers.

Once people are curious, they are unlikely to come to the fields to check.

A quick look will definitely reveal the truth.

"Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely finish digging tonight." Bai Dazhuang said.

"Let's split up. Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, your father, and Jin Gui will dig from the other end. Your mother and I will take Da Lang and the others to dig from this end. Qiuniang, you and Xiao Yuan Bao will follow me." Old Mrs. Bai under the moonlight Doing work assignments.

"Grandma, let me come with you and take care of my sister by the way." You Jingui didn't want to follow Bai Erzhuang and the others, so he could only work hard with them, which was too boring.

By following my sister-in-law, on the one hand, I can brush my face vigorously in front of my sister-in-law, and secondly, I can talk and work less tiredly.

Mrs. Bai thought about it and agreed!
"By the way, grandma, I met Aunt Hu when I went back to get thick clothes for my sister. She asked me what I was doing and I said I went to the mill to help my father grind tofu. Will Aunt Hu discover our sweet potato field?" Eugene Gui He told Xiao Fuyuan what happened when he met Aunt Hu just now when he went home to pick up a big sweater and clothes for Xiao Fuyuan.

Not that she was willing to tell Mrs. Bai all her whereabouts.

Instead, she was worried that if the sweet potato field at home was discovered, she would be suspected of being the one who leaked the news.

After all, once news about the family spreads, Mrs. Bai is always the first to suspect her.

Old Mrs. Bai said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter."

Xiao Fuyuan also said: "It's okay."

If you meet Mrs. Bai, you may be worried, but if you meet Mrs. Hu, you don't have to worry at all.

Aunt Hu has a strict mouth. Now that her son has followed Bai Sanzhuang to Nanyang, she is now a die-hard fan of the Bai family.

Even if she discovered the Bai family's sweet potato field, she would not tell anyone about it. Instead, she would help the Bai family cover it up.

"Okay, don't waste time, start digging." Bai Banban said, and then told Xiao Fuyuan, "Daughter, be careful of the vines entangling you... Stop doing it, just sit there and watch... I'm tired and sleepy. Dad said, Dad will take you home."

Xiao Fuyuan quickly interrupted the white board and said with a smile: "Dad, I understand."

She was afraid that the white wooden board would keep telling her.

Everyone took their hoes and started working.

On Xiao Fuyuan's side, Mrs. Bai directed everyone's division of labor.

Eugene Gui and Mr. Zhen cut the vines, Mrs. Bai took Qiuniang and Dalang to dig sweet potatoes, and Xiao Fuyuan and Sanlang carried the dug sweet potatoes to make a place.

This division of labor is not only efficient, but also less likely to cause trouble.

"Da Lang, be careful, don't cut the sweet potatoes." Old Mrs. Bai took the lead to give a demonstration to Da Lang.

"Don't worry, Tai Nai, I won't break it." The children of the Bai family have been doing farm work since they were young, so once Mrs. Bai demonstrates it, Dalang will know how to get started.A whole piece had been dug out as he spoke.

"Also, there are many vines on this vine, so expand the scope." Old Mrs. Bai continued to warn.

These sweet potatoes, like peanuts, will definitely be missed in the ground.

In the past, when her family was poor, Mrs. Bai would go to the peanut fields harvested by others to fish for peanuts, but she did not want others to fish for sweet potatoes from her own field.After all, these sweet potatoes are for the imperial court, and they are not even kept for themselves. It is best to ensure that not a single one is left in the ground.

Xiaofukuoka and Saburo picked up the dug sweet potatoes, removed the soil on them, and then gathered them together.

"Sanlang, look at your little aunt, don't let your little aunt get tired." Mrs. Bai warned Sanlang.

Sanlang promised: "I won't let my little aunt get tired."

It was quiet late at night in Shenshu Village.

Under the clear moonlight, the Bai family bent down and worked in the fields. There were only the sounds of cutting vines and digging the ground.

It is common for farmers in Shenshu Village to stay up late to harvest during busy farming seasons, but Xiao Fuyuan has never participated in harvesting at night before.

She is too young to do farm work, and Zhen and others have to take care of her in the fields, which will delay the progress.

Secondly, the Bai family felt sorry for her and would not let her go to the ground at all.

Therefore, this was her first time to participate in harvesting at night, and she was grabbing sweet potatoes that could save the hungry victims.

Xiao Fuyuan was extremely excited.

At the same time, there was a trace of regret in my heart. It would have been nice if Brother Azhen was still in Shenshu Village.

He could witness the ripening and harvest of sweet potatoes with his own eyes, and maybe he was gathering sweet potatoes with him in the field at this time.

The Bai family quickly dug half of the sweet potatoes in the field.

At this time, the sweet potatoes are like a hill in the ground.

"Daughter, you are tired, drink some water." Mrs. Zhen came to Xiao Fuyuan and turned on the hot water.

"Mom, I'm not tired. Mom, drink water." Xiao Fuyuan patted the soil on his hands and sat on the sweet potato vine.

The cart was covered with white wooden boards and the sweet potatoes that had been dug were transported home.

He has made two trips.

I saw Mrs. Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan on the ridge of the field and walked over quickly.

White Board never let Zhen do farm work in the past. He was worried that Zhen would be tired. After all, cutting down sweet potato vines requires a lot of strength.

And my daughter, a little girl who doesn’t sleep and is always busy, the white wooden board is really distressing.

"Are you tired, wife?" Bai Banban asked in a low voice.

He was afraid that if his wife heard this, he would have to tell her in front of the children that he felt sorry for his wife.

Zhen shook her head and said with a smile: "This kind of work will not make me tired."

"Girl, are you tired?" The white wooden board picked up Xiao Fuyuan and touched her head and hands, fearing that the dew would wet the girl.

"Dad, I'm not tired." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"With so many sweet potatoes piled up in our backyard, it won't rain." Mrs. Zhen looked up at the sky, feeling quite worried.

Xiao Fuyuan said firmly: "Mom, don't worry, it won't rain."

"You take your daughter home to sleep, and your mother will go back with you. Da Zhuang and I can do this work." Bai Banban said while looking at the old lady Bai who was busy between heaven and earth.

Mrs. Zhen shook her head and said, "You can go home later and give me some sweet potatoes to take my daughter home. I'm sure my mother won't want to go back."

Old Mrs. Bai is very stubborn and strong-willed. Mrs. Zhen knows that she will definitely not want to go back. If Old Mrs. Bai doesn't go back, she, her daughter-in-law, will have to accompany her.

Xiao Fuyuan also shook his head and said: "I don't want to go back, I want to watch the sweet potatoes be harvested."

Bai Banban smiled and touched Xiao Fuyuan's head. He suddenly thought of the content of the chat with Bai Dazhuang just now and said to Zhen: "Dazhuang means that he wants to go to the capital to deliver sweet potatoes in person. What do you think?"
