Farmhouse Fubao has space

Chapter 16
Mr. Tong dug out a sweet potato, and there were as many as six or seven knots on it. He happily put the sweet potato into the basket, and hurried down the mountain again with Tong Annian in his arms.

When we arrived at the village head Tong Liangji's house, Tong Liangji was worrying in the yard. The crops in the field were all destroyed. He didn't know if he could survive this winter.

"Village head." Mr. Tong opened the door and walked in. Tong Liangji looked up and saw him and Tong Anian, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Uncle Yongzhi, why do you have time to come here? Is something wrong?" Tong Liangji looked at Tong Annian who was in his arms. This girl was unconscious before, but now she is much more energetic.

"Village chief, I know you are worried about the food of the people in the village, you should take a look at this first." Mr. Tong put Tong Anian on the ground, and handed the basket to Tong Liangji.

Tong Liangji looked at the things inside. He hadn't seen it before, and looked up at Mr. Tong again.

"This thing is called sweet potato. It can be used as food. Even if you are hungry, this seedling can also be eaten as a vegetable. Try it." Mr. Tong took out one and handed it to him. When he heard that it was edible, he was so excited that he didn't even wash it. , rubbed it on the clothes and took a bite.

The sweet smell made Tong Liangji almost burst into tears. He looked at Mr. Tong, speechless.

"We found this when Nian Bao'er and An Qi went up the mountain. I thought that this year's food harvest would be exhausted. If we dig out all these sweet potatoes and distribute them to everyone, although we can't have enough food for every meal, we can still let everyone eat. It's winter."

When Mr. Tong spoke out his decision, Tong Liangji was very grateful immediately. He stood up, holding the sweet potato in one hand, and rubbing it on his clothes with the other.

"Uncle Yongzhi, what you said is true, can you really distribute it to the folks?" Tong Liangji looked at Mr. Tong with tears in his eyes, he was worried about this matter.

"They are all from the village. Over the years, everyone has helped us a lot. You arrange for people to dig, and you have to find someone to watch over them. Don't let those who like to take advantage of small things cause trouble, and don't let those who do their best suffer. .”

"Uncle Yongzhi, don't worry, I will notify every household. After the digging, they will be divided according to the size of the family. There will be no preference."

Tong Liangji hurriedly assured Mr. Tong that he understood what Mr. Tong said, that there would be a few people in that village who liked to take advantage.

He will make it clear in advance that as long as he finds that there is something private, he will not get any food.

"You are the village chief, you can figure it out yourself. My family has two laborers. Turn around and I will let them come to you."

Old Master Tong picked up Tong An Nian again and was about to go back. Tong An Nian looked at Tong Liangji who was excited and ready to go out.

In the past few days, she also got to know the village through the mouth of Mr. Tong. Tongjia Village has a total of 20 households with more than 160 people.

Although those sweet potatoes can almost last everyone through the winter, it is definitely not enough, and she still has to do it again.

Tong Annian asked Ling to plant some more sweet potatoes, but this time she didn't plant too many. She planned to wait for the sweet potatoes on the mountain to be dug up, and then secretly put them in. In this way, it should be almost done.

"Grandpa, Nian Baoer... is going too." Tong Anian looked at him eagerly in the arms of Mrs. Tong, and being watched by her watery eyes, he couldn't help but agree.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late, and he had to accompany Tong An Nian when it was time to dig sweet potatoes.

After Tong Liangji informed the people in the village of this incident, everyone was very excited, so many people came out.

When Mr. Tong carried Tong Annian and brought Tong Zhengye and Tong Zhengjie to Tong Liangji's house, there was a crowd of people standing there.

In some families, one or two people came, and in some, the whole family was dispatched, a group of people, old and young, both men and women.
