God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 58 Buying Sweet Potatoes
58
This afternoon, Su Kefang came out from the courtyard of the Zhao family in the town, bought some food, and was about to take a bullock cart at the entrance of the town, when she heard someone calling her from behind.

Hearing this voice, Su Kefang turned his head happily: "Brother, Brother Chong'an, are you back?"

"Buy so much food again?" Su Kebin smiled and took the cloth bag from her hand, and the three of them walked towards the entrance of the town while talking.

We haven't seen each other for a month, and the siblings have endless conversations. Every time Su Kefang's crisp laughter came, Tan Chong'an couldn't restrain his heart from trembling slightly.

Tan Chong'an intentionally lagged behind the two of them by one step, sizing up Su Kefang indiscriminately.

Tan Chong'an noticed that after not seeing this girl for a month, the eyebrows and eyes of this girl opened again. At this time, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she looked at Su Kebin with a slightly coquettish expression, and her sly eyes seemed to be able to absorb people's souls. I couldn't look away for a long time.

Su Kefang secretly observed his brother while talking, seeing his eyes full of smiles, Su Kefang was not sure if he was really not influenced by those classmates.

"Brother, I'll take you to see my farm later!" After getting into the bullock cart, Su Kefang winked at his brother sitting beside him, and said mysteriously.

"Okay." Su Kebin smiled.

He knew from Zhao Jingcai that many things had happened at home in the past month. After thinking about it, he asked, "How is Lan'er doing now?"

"Sister Lan'er has a good foundation, the doctor said that if she takes care of her for two or three months, she will be fine." Su Kefang said.

"It's fine!"

He was afraid that Lan'er, like his wife, would fall to the root of the disease.

The brothers and sisters got off the car at Fengguo Village and went directly to the farm. Who knew that Tan Chong'an, who had already got off the car at the entrance of Lin'an Village, walked towards them before they reached the farm.

"Chong'an, didn't you go back?" Su Kebin looked at him in surprise.

"Brother Ke Bin, I just remembered that I forgot to bring back the notes I made in class when I got out of the car. Can I borrow yours to copy?" Tan Chong'an wiped his sweat and asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Su Kebin smiled, and said, "I have pens and inks at home, so I can copy them at my house later, but now I'm going to Fang'er's farm, can we go together?"

Tan Chong'an went to great lengths to come here just to have an excuse to visit the farm that Su Kefang was talking about, and of course he would not refuse Su Kebin.

Tan Chong'an was about to pretend to follow suit, but Su Kefang spoke first: "Brother, it's getting late, let Brother Chong'an take notes first, it won't be too late to see the farm tomorrow."

The smile on Tan Chong'an's face froze for a moment, but soon he said again: "It's okay, I'll just copy what Mr. said today, not much, and I'll finish it in a while."

"Brother Chong'an, studying is important! My parents, sister-in-law and Hao'er must be waiting for my brother, you go home first." Su Kefang didn't seem to understand what Tan Chong'an meant, and said with pursed lips: "Besides, I was originally I also want to see my sister Laner."

She said so much, Tan Chong'an could only smile and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb your interest."

"There is no need to be so polite between us! But what Fanger said is true, Haoer's child must have a long neck!" Su Kebin patted Tan Chong'an on the shoulder: "Go, go home! It's a rare trip, tonight Then we ate and went back."

Su Kebin saw that his sister wanted to avoid suspicion, so he followed her words.

Tan Chong'an hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Su Kefang knew that his brother was staying with Tan Chong'an for dinner, and after seeing Lan'er, he went straight back to Fu's house.

On the way, Su Kefang met Su Dongming who lived at the east end of the village, carrying a load of sweet potatoes to the end of the village.

"Uncle Dongming, where are you going?" Su Kefang caught up with him and greeted him with a smile.

"It's Fang'er?" Su Dongming smiled, and said helplessly, "The sweet potatoes at home are spoiled, and they will fall down at the foot of the mountain."

"It's broken so much?" Su Kefang looked at the sweet potatoes in the basket: "What a pity!"

"No, there are still a few loads at home that are rotten." Su Dongming said as he walked.

"By the way, Fang'er, I still have some unspoiled sweet potatoes at home. Why don't you get a few baskets to feed the pigs, and you can give me a few copper coins or two fish." Su Dongming suddenly paused, then turned around and asked road.

Didn't Mrs. Lu take the fish to his house to change the bran and send them to the farm?Sweet potatoes can also be fed to pigs. It is better to change a few copper plates than to be broken.

His son dragged the sweet potatoes to the town and sold them for several days without selling them. Seeing the sweet potatoes rotting day by day, he felt anxious, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Su Kefang like this.

Hearing this, Su Kefang's eyes flashed: "Uncle Dongming, how many sweet potatoes do you have at home?"

If the price is not expensive, maybe it is also a way to make money.

"It's good, at least ten loads." Su Dongming said worriedly.

In more than two months, the newly planted sweet potatoes can be dug again. I wonder if the new sweet potatoes can be sold?

"Uncle Dongming, since you can't finish eating so many sweet potatoes, why do you need to grow so many?" Su Kefang didn't say that he wanted to buy sweet potatoes, but asked suspiciously, it would be too wasteful.

"Isn't there no way?" Su Dongming said with a frowning face: "My family has two plots of land where the yield of rice is not good, and they are all used to grow sweet potatoes, and some of the sweet potatoes grown in the past two years can be sold. Knowing what happened, only a few baskets were sold!"

"Uncle Dongming, how much do you sell these sweet potatoes for a catty?" Su Kefang asked after thinking about it.

If the price is not expensive, she can buy their sweet potatoes.

As soon as Su Kefang said that, Su Dongming couldn't help laughing: "Fang'er, whoever buys sweet potatoes by the catty, isn't that stupid?"

Forehead?
Su Kefang was embarrassed, and changed his words in a polite manner: "How much does that basket sell for?"

Seeing that she really wanted to buy sweet potatoes, Su Dongming was overjoyed: "Fang Er, if you want it, you can give me 15 Wen for a load."

If you go to the town to sell it, you can sell it for a few cents more, but you can't sell it.

"However, Fang'er, I have to remind you that those sweet potatoes should not be kept for too long, or they will rot." Su Dongming continued.

Su Kefang was surprised when he heard the price of snacks. A load of sweet potatoes only cost a few meat buns. Of course, Su Kefang didn't hesitate any longer: "As long as it doesn't rot now! Uncle Dongming, it's getting late today. Let my second uncle come to your house tomorrow to pick up the sweet potatoes."

"Success!" Su Dongming's sorrowful face disappeared: "Fang'er, how many loads do you want, I will ask your aunt to pick some bigger ones for you first."

"Uncle Dongming, I want all the sweet potatoes left in your house!"

"All?" Su Dongming was startled: "Fang'er, didn't uncle tell you just now that these sweet potatoes will go bad after a long time, I think you'd better buy two or three loads."
