Chapter 17 Digging Sweet Potatoes

"Uncle Yongzhi, thank you."

"Uncle, is what the village chief said true? We really don't need to go hungry?"

"Yes, uncle, you can't lie to us!"

Seeing Mr. Tong, in addition to some excited voices thanking Mr. Tong, there were also voices of doubt.

"If you don't believe me, you don't have to follow. However, when the food is divided equally, don't say you won't give it to you."

Mr. Tong doesn't speak. Their family owes too much to the village. They can't say anything at a time like this, or they will be ungrateful.

Tong Liangji is the head of the village, no one dares to refute whatever he says.

"Uncle Yongzhi, are there enough people? Shall we set off now?" Tong Liangji rolled his eyes at those who didn't believe him, and looked at Mr. Tong.

"That's enough, let's go now, we should be able to finish it before dark." Mr. Tong led the way, and the others hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the place, Tong Zhengye and Tong Zhengjie were both surprised when they saw the piece of sweet potato.

They had already dug up a piece of sweet potato before, and there was actually another piece here, and it didn't seem that far from the place where they dug sweet potatoes last time.

Mr. Tong told everyone how to dig, and everyone started to get busy. The men were responsible for digging hard, and the women were responsible for putting the dug out in a pile.

Children and the elderly couldn't help, so they looked for some wild vegetables and fruits nearby.

This is not the foot of the mountain. Everyone is afraid of danger and no one dares to come. Now that there are so many people, they have nothing to fear. It is good to get something early.

Tong Annian sat there obediently and watched everyone's work in full swing, from time to time, he threw some sweet potatoes that had been dug out in the space into the pile of sweet potatoes.

Although the sweet potatoes in the space are not that big, they are enough.

I did this for an entire afternoon, probably because I knew that these were all winter rations for everyone, but no one was cheating or cheating.

After all the sweet potatoes were dug up, the sweet potato seedlings were tied up in bundles by Mr. Tong and Tong Zhengye.

"Okay, pack up and prepare to go back, let me explain the ugly things to everyone first, today is because we have a large number of people, so we came to such a far place.

If someone went up the mountain without permission and had an accident because of this little thing, it would be self-inflicted. After finishing the work, Tong Liangji was afraid that someone would go up the mountain privately and cause an accident, so he reminded him.

Then, Young Lizhuang carried the dug sweet potatoes down the mountain and put them all on the square in the middle of the village, where someone specially watched them.

After all the sweet potatoes were moved down, they began to weigh, and each household was divided according to the population.

"Village chief, our family doesn't want it anymore. Before, our family dug two sacks on the mountain, which is almost enough."

Under the signal of Mr. Tong, Tong Zhengjie walked up to Tong Liangji. Although they dug more than two sacks, they didn't dare to say more, for fear that someone would have bad thoughts.

"How can it work? You also contributed your efforts, and your family discovered this." Tong Liangji was unhappy when he heard it, and his voice became louder.

The people who were waiting to share the sweet potatoes also looked over when they heard Tong Liangji and the others talking.

"It's okay, the village chief, my father said, these are just to thank everyone for taking care of our family on weekdays, and our family's Nian Bao'er's health is also much better, from now on, I can't drink medicine every day.

Our village has a large population, and these sweet potatoes seem to be a lot. If each household shares some, there will not be much. Our family has enough, so we should distribute what should be given to our family to the childless old people in the village. "

Tong Zhengjie's words made many people feel guilty. When they needed help, there might not even be half of the people in the village who really helped their family.
