Chapter 67
Although the sweet potatoes grown by people in the village bear fruit, some of which are not too small, many of them are pitted, cracked, and have insects. In one sentence, they are crooked melons, pears, and dates, and they look really ugly.

The Jiang family’s sweet potatoes not only produce many fruits per plant, but the sweet potatoes are evenly sized and smooth, making them appetizing.

"Oh my God! This one has so many fruits, how much can this acre of land produce?"

Some people couldn't help but scream.

"That's right, their sweet potato seedlings are from ours. They are the same seedlings, but why do you think the sweet potatoes they produce are different!"

"That's right, the ones we planted are full of pits and are easily damaged when placed in the sweet potato cellar. There are no scars at first sight, so they must have been stored for a long time!"

"Hey! Do you think this is really what the fertilizer in the manure pit does?"

"That's right? The sweet potato seedlings are the same as the ones we use. There's no difference in the soil in the field. The sweet potatoes have different fruits. What else could it be if it wasn't dung?"

"But we see that his excrement is no different from ours! Could he be lying to us?"

Some people don't believe it.

"What are you talking about! Is Defu that kind of person? If he doesn't want to help us, he can just use it secretly. Why do we do this? If we use it differently than him, wouldn't we blame him?"

"That's right, let me tell you! Our late sweet potatoes have now grown. When I was weeding, I didn't pay attention to my silly son. He dug one. It made me feel bad. There were many small sweet potatoes in it. Although it hasn’t grown up yet, there are really no fruit cracks!”

"Oh! Now that you say it, that cesspit is really useful! But we are useless..."

"Ouch! Village chief, why did you drop the scale into the ground?"

Someone saw Liu Mulin leading others to help. They were pulling a cart, and there were bags and scales on the cart.

"Didn't the land in Defu have a good harvest? Just when we were loading the truck, we weighed the weight and made a record. In the future, if our village participates in the collective cesspit project, the output of each mu of land in the family will be counted. This is called scientific farming!"

A young man following Liu Mulin laughed.

There is strength in numbers, and this piece of land is an acre and a half.

Dozens of villagers were here. It took less than a few hours for everyone to pull out the sweet potatoes, put them into bags, and then dump them on the car.

When filling bags, they will be weighed first, and Jiang Defu will take notes with a pen.

Seeing that Jiang Defu could actually write, everyone looked at him differently.

"How many pounds?"

"Have you figured it out?"

Jiang Defu was the one who took the notes, and Liu Mulin was the one who made the final summary.

While he was calculating, many people were already talking around him and asking eagerly.

"8580 pounds!"

"What? 8580 catties?"

"Oh my God, this one and a half acres weighs more than 8000 kilograms? How much is one acre of land?"

Someone screamed, and the crowd started talking.

"One acre of land weighs more than 5000 kilograms, nearly 6000 kilograms!"

"Grandma, why are there so many? I've never seen sweet potatoes with such a high yield per acre! My family's yield per acre is a few cents more, just over 2000!"

"Your sweet potatoes are like mice. How can they be compared with those from rich families? Look at their sweet potatoes, which are average and can be called the king of sweet potatoes in your field!"

"So the excrement in the collective cesspit is really useful?"

"of course!"

"Oops! What should we do? Our family only has a third of the land to use the excrement there. I'm worried that this thing is unreliable. I'm afraid I'll lose a lot of money this year!"

"We... we are all involved..."

The crowd started talking again. …

When you are strong, the world around you becomes a good person.

The Jiang family feels the most real thing now.

Not to mention that whenever Jiang Defu goes out, people greet him warmly from afar, which is called enthusiasm, and many people even behave in a manner that is called flattery.

Even Jiang Dehua, Zhang Guilan, Jiang Decai and others are the same. They see smiling faces everywhere.

When Jiang Dehua came back from Liangjiawan, passers-by pointed at her. When she saw people in the village, they all came forward to say hello enthusiastically. Although those people agreed, some of them seemed to have weird expressions.

She didn't even go far before someone pointed at her.

Of course it was about her being divorced by her husband's family and returning to her parents' family.

To be honest, it is easy for people to criticize such things in rural areas. Some places even think that if a girl comes back from the family, she will think about the feng shui of the family, which is unlucky for the family.

Jiang Dehua is very carefree. Although she can see the weirdness of those people, she often doesn't take it seriously. She even scolds some people for being rude.

"If people like that don't talk to us when we see them, we will ignore them!"

Zhang Guilan also felt a little sorry for Jiang Dehua.

Zhang Guilan is naturally very aware of the straightforward power of rural people.

Their family is doing well now. Jiang Defu became famous after he came back and fought with the Li brothers. Although people in the village have theories about them, they are at least afraid of their family now.

When Jiang Decai and the two of them were the only ones at home, the people in the village were even more straightforward. There was nothing to rely on at home, and Jiang Decai was still mute.

When they go out to say hello to people, those people don't pay much attention to them. Now they are feeling much better.

These days are even more different.

When Jiang Dehua goes out, there will be many people around her, greeting her warmly.

Even Mrs. Lin from Dongtou sent someone to send a letter saying that her nephew's mother-in-law had been away for two years and she had no children at home. She wanted to marry a wife and wanted to ask Jiang Dehua if she was willing.

This news really shocked the Jiang family.

"Dehua, what do you think about this?"

Jiang Defu felt that Jiang Dehua didn't need to be in such a hurry to get married in this situation.

Marrying into a family around here, each one is poorer than the last, it is better to be at home. If he is Jiang Dehua, he will not marry, of course he will not marry. He is also a widower, killing his wife, what good can he do!
But people are different. After all, he came from a previous life and has a more open mind. He cannot ask them to keep up with him.

Happiness is often a feeling. He feels that the house is more important. After all, the thinking of this era is still different.

"The conditions...the conditions are actually not bad, but this matter is too urgent...I don't know what he is like!"

Jiang Decai expressed his meaning with gestures with his hands.

In the eyes of Jiang Decai and others, the conditions of this family as mentioned by Mrs. Lin are good. They have several acres of fertile land. I heard that they only have one son and several girls are married off.

This is much better than the conditions of Liang Shuanzi's family. After all, Mrs. Liang is not Liang Shuanzi's biological mother.

Moreover, this person’s wife is dead and he has no children around him, so he doesn’t need to be a stepmother.

In any era, it is not easy to be a stepmother. With children, there are naturally many obstacles to a second marriage.

It’s just that people don’t know what to do, so they still need to inquire.

Jiang Decai was right to think about it. After all, when Jiang Dehua came back and said he would not marry again, it often sounded like just an explanation. It was rare in rural areas in this era.

"If you ask me, it's better...it's better to wait!"

Zhang Guilan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said.
