Chapter 52
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the leaves of the crops in the fields turned yellow, and the brigades and small teams began to sharpen their sickles to prepare for the autumn harvest, and the school had just started a few days after the summer vacation, and the autumn harvest vacation was given again.

Shen Yulin and Shen Yuxiu were not yet old enough to do much even in the fields, and the team would not give any work points, so they were taken to the private plot by Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang. Shen Yusui, and Shen Yujun, who was running around all day, helped harvest sweet potatoes.

Although the two of them are not very old, the children born and raised in the farm have long been accustomed to the work in the field. Even if they can't do heavy work, they drag the cut sweet potato vines aside, and dig out the sweet potatoes on the ground from the soil It is still possible.

Just like that, Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang brought home all the sweet potatoes from Jiufen's private plot in just two days with two big children, two small children and four children.

Shen Yuxiu looked at the large pile of sweet potatoes, large or small, in the barn, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

She didn't know if there was such food in the family before, but since grandpa built a new house, the family has never had so much food in storage anyway.

Now there shouldn't be enough food for their family, right?
Fang Youshun and his wife were equally happy with her. Although the family didn't say how many catties of sweet potatoes they had harvested in Jiufen, they could roughly estimate that it was about two thousand catties just by looking at the size of the pile of sweet potatoes. .

When Fang Yan and Shen Jinggui came back from work at night, they couldn't believe what they had heard when they heard Fang Youshun's estimate.

They heard from their own father (father-in-law) that the output of this product is high, but they did not expect it to be as high as this.

My God, nine points of land, two thousand catties?If it was wheat, it would be enough for their family to feed for a year.

After the shock, there was a surprise, and Shen Jinggui was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

With these sweet potatoes, there is no need to worry about the future. When Shen Jinggui went to work the next day, he happily told his good brother and team leader about the production.

"Brother, we have to rely on our words, okay? About two thousand, are you making trouble?" The captain thought he was joking, and didn't take his words to heart at all.

"Forget it if you don't believe me, I can't take you with me even if I want to." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Shen Jinggui wanted to explain but found it meaningless.

The reason why he told the news to the team leader is that he wants his brother to plant some sweet potatoes next year. Although this food is not comparable to food, it can fill his stomach anyway, right?
But his good brother is good, but he has a problem, he is too cautious.

You tell him well, if he doesn't believe you, if you ignore him, he will get suspicious instead and come up to ask questions.

Sure enough, after Shen Jinggui left for a while, the team leader started to mutter in his heart.

Brother for many years, he still knows Shen Jinggui well, if this person really wants to fool people, he must try his best to make people believe him, but now he doesn't even want to explain, is it true?

"Hey, it's really more than 2000 catties?" The team leader thought for a while, then ran up behind Shen Jinggui's buttocks and asked.

"Fake, what are you supposed to do, don't delay my work." Shen Jinggui didn't even turn his head, bent over and continued to cut rice.

He is a person who earns full work points, and if he does less work, he will get less food, so he won't waste time talking nonsense with him for the established facts.

"Hey, you..." Seeing that he was waving the scythe almost with an afterimage, and couldn't move forward at all, the team leader frowned angrily, then turned his head and went to the village.

Forget it, he will see for himself.

In this way, the team leader ran back to the village directly without supervising the team members working in the field during the autumn harvest.

Fang's yard.

Fang Youshun was picking sweet potatoes one by one in the barn. The big ones without any bumps were put on one side for raising seedlings next year, and the others were put on the other side for future eating.

Grandma Fang was sitting in front of a small board at the door of the barn, waving a kitchen knife and slicing the sweet potatoes that had been bumped too hard into slices, while instructing the three brothers and sisters Shen Yuxiu from time to time to arrange the sliced ​​sweet potatoes Go to the mat in the middle of the yard to dry.

And Shen Yusui, the only one who doesn't have to do anything, sits on the cattail mat and watches her grandma chopping sweet potatoes for a while, and watches her three older brothers and sisters go back and forth between grandma and the mat, with a small head and big eyes, non-stop Turning around is simply busier than everyone else.

As soon as the team leader entered the yard, he saw this busy scene. The sweet potato slices drying on the mat in the middle of the yard were so white that they made his eyes hurt under the sunlight.

Seeing his sudden arrival, Grandma Fang immediately stopped the kitchen knife in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Hey? Eldest nephew? Why are you free to come here? Is there anything you want?"

"Ah." The team leader made an embarrassed haha, pretended not to care, walked in, and said, "I heard from Jinggui that my aunt's house harvested a lot of sweet potatoes, so come and have a look."

"It's not something rare, it's worth a special trip." For her son-in-law, a good friend, Grandma Fang still likes it very much. She turned and pointed to the warehouse behind her and said, "It's all in the warehouse." What about the house, your uncle is inside, you go over there."

"Hey." The team leader agreed happily, and immediately ran forward, looking at the half-filled sweet potatoes, he couldn't help but gasped.

Fuck, did you really charge so much?
The team leader swallowed his saliva. He has been in and out of the crop fields for many years, and he can roughly estimate how much they are. These sweet potatoes, two thousand catties, are definitely not much more.

His good brother really didn't lie, but it's a pity that eating too much of this food will cause heartburn. Otherwise, with such a high yield, all the teams will be planted with sweet potatoes, so how can there be such a thing as starvation?

"Uncle, Uncle, can I save some seedlings of these sweet potatoes for my family? After the autumn, the food will be distributed, and I will exchange it for food." The team leader stammered and said to Fang Youshun in the barn.

It is unrealistic to plant this in the field of the team, but it is still possible to plant it in the private plot at home to ensure that we are full.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with that, I'll reserve as much as you want." Fang Youshun replied with a smile.

At first, he was worried that there were too many of these things and it was difficult to keep them. When the time came, the children would get tired of eating them again. If someone would change them, he would love to.

"Oh, thank you Uncle, Uncle, you are busy first, and there is still work in the team, I will go first!" The captain ran away happily after speaking, and even Grandma Fang wanted him to bring a few dollars. Sweet potatoes went home to feed the children, but they couldn't catch up.

The small leader is not a person who doesn't know what to do. Now everyone's food is very expensive. It's already good if they are willing to exchange some sweet potato seedlings for him. How can they take other people's things?

You can't be the only one to get the good of something good. After the team leader left Fang's house, he told the news to a few good brothers. After hearing the news, they couldn't care less about going to work. They went back to Fang's house to reserve some sweet potatoes. I plan to plant it in my own plot next year.

The actions of the few people naturally attracted the attention of others. After quietly inquiring about what was going on, the village exploded, and people flocked to Fang Youshun's house after work to see the spectacle. Seeing the real thing, the shocked eyeballs almost popped out.

God, about two thousand catties, in the year when each of them was only divided into two hundred catties per year, this is the ration for more than ten people?
Don't worry about how you feel if you eat too much of this food. The important thing is that people will not be hungry if they have these sweet potatoes! !
At this time, those people who were asked by Fang Youshun or Grandma Fang if they wanted to plant some sweet potato vines, but refused, felt regretful.

Such a good thing, why did they reject it blindly?This year's harvest is not so good, if they grow sweet potatoes, how can they be afraid of starvation?
