Chapter 45 Confused
"Hmph, I didn't!"

Chu Munan turned around angrily: "I felt sore and uncomfortable when I woke up this morning, so I asked you."

After that, Chu Munan didn't say any more, turned around and walked to the bed, and then sat there without saying a word.

"Xiangxiang, come here!"

At this time, Li Cui's voice came from outside.

Ruan Xiangxiang walked to the balcony, looked down, and saw Li Cui standing in the field downstairs, dancing with hands and feet, looking crazy.

Ruan Xiangxiang went downstairs with a calm tone: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Li Cui pointed to the potato seedlings in the field: "Xiangxiang, look at this crop, it's growing so well, how is this possible? We just planted it yesterday."

"It's probably because crops like potatoes grow faster."

"But it's too fast."

"Isn't it good to grow fast?"

"Okay, okay, that's..."

Ruan Sanbao came over: "Sister, when will these potatoes be harvested?"

"Ten days and a half a month."

Ruan Sanbao applauded immediately.

Although Chu Munan was angry, he kept his ears open to listen to the movement outside.

He was really curious, so he limped to the balcony, looked down, and saw tender seedlings about a foot long growing neatly in the ground below.

He also wondered, the book said that potatoes grow faster, but it didn't say that they grow so fast.

Thinking of Ruan Xiangxiang deliberately fascinating him last night, Chu Munan felt that Ruan Xiangxiang must have some secrets from him.

In the following days, Ruan Xiangxiang did not go out to give birth to potatoes in the middle of the night, but spent an afternoon every day tending the fields.

When she was tending the crops, she secretly spawned potatoes, which made it impossible for Chu Munan to catch it for a while.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the potato vines in the field were intertwined and growing gratifyingly.

Ruan Xiangxiang went to the field with a hoe after lunch.

Ruan Sanbao quickly followed.

Chu Munan's leg injury has healed a lot after these days of general care, and he is able to walk by himself.

Although Ruan Xiangxiang didn't tell him the secret, he himself was vaguely aware that Ruan Xiangxiang had abilities that others didn't have.

He stood under the eaves, watching Ruan Xiangxiang go down with a hoe and dig out a nest of white and fat potatoes.

Ruan Sanbao over there happily picked up the potatoes into the bamboo basket, and Ruan Xiangxiang dug another nest.

What she does is the most common thing for peasant girls, but every movement reveals unusual elegance.

Perhaps, my sister is a little fairy sent from heaven.

Thinking of this, Chu Munan felt relieved, trotted over, and reached out to grab Ruan Xiangxiang's hoe.

"Sister, I'm coming."

Ruan Xiangxiang glanced at him: "No, your leg injury is not fully healed yet, just watch from the sidelines."

Chu Munan was not willing to watch, and together with Ruan Sanbao, put the potatoes dug out by Ruan Xiangxiang into bamboo baskets.

That night, Ruan Xiangxiang made a pot of rice with tiger meat and potatoes.

The potatoes are fragrant and soft, and the meat is full of fragrance. Several people eat it so that their stomachs are round.

Li Cui said: "Xiangxiang, this potato is really good. It can grow so well in arid places. If you take it home and distribute it to the villagers to grow, then everyone doesn't have to go out to flee famine."

Ruan Xiangxiang's heart tightened. During this period of time, she also thought about this issue.

If word of growing potatoes spreads, many people will want to grow potatoes with them.

Although the yield of potatoes is good, and they are indeed resistant to cold and drought, it is absolutely impossible for them to grow so quickly.

These days, she also thought up her speech, and when she heard what Li Cui said, she immediately stood up and closed the doors and windows.
