Chapter 6 Sweet Potatoes
Due to his upbringing, Pei Zhan ate well and slowly. Even though it was only wild vegetable pancakes and porridge, he seemed to be eating with a sense of nobility, and those who didn't know thought he was tasting some delicacies.

Despite this, Tao Zhen still saw some struggle from his chewing cheeks, and then watched his beautiful Adam's apple slide as he struggled to swallow his mother's loving breakfast.

After eating, Pei Zhan packed up and was about to go out. Tao Zhen thought of the injury on his back and wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips but did not come out.

Not to mention that Pei Zhan was injured. As long as he was alive, he had to go to work even if he was still crawling. If he didn't go, he would be disobeying the order.

The Pei family is now in a precarious situation, and if something goes wrong, it will be irreversible.

After Pei Zhan went out, Mrs. Pei wiped her eyes quietly. When she looked back and saw Tao Zhen, she smiled again.

Tao Zhen looked a little sad, and she also smiled and said, "I'll take Xiao Heng to go fishing, and I'll make lunch."

Mrs. Pei was stunned for a moment and nodded happily.

If Tao Zhen is like this, she doesn't want to die. As long as she doesn't commit suicide, she can do anything.

Pei was the happiest. Although he didn't speak, Tao Zhen could still see a bit of excitement in his eyes.

A city kid, at this age, is curious about everything. Tao Zhen made a simple fishing pole. She remembered that there was a river not far from her house. It was already frozen at night this season, so she didn’t know if she could catch it. Fish, you can only try your luck.

The exile village is very close to Ningzhou. This place was originally a wilderness. Later, there was a quarry, and the government kept all the prisoners who were exiled to work here. Gradually, there was a village here, and it was called that. Out.

In other words, most of the people living in this village are exiled prisoners. The Pei family came last and were assigned to a dilapidated thatched house farthest from the village.

Little Brother Pei looked very happy. Although he still didn't speak, his eyes were bright, revealing the unique innocence of a child.

Tao Zhen took him around. Ningzhou was indeed a place of exile. It was surrounded by desolation. It was already late autumn, and the environment looked particularly depressed and lonely.There was a black spot in the distance, and the shapes of some buildings could be vaguely seen. Tao Zhen thought that that should be the quarry where Pei Zhan worked.

The work in the quarry is heavy, but the pay is not high. Most people would not be willing to do it if they were not exiled prisoners.

Thinking of the injury on Pei Zhan's back, Tao Zhen was still a little worried. Putting aside their internal conflicts, Pei Zhan was now the only mature man in the Pei family. If something happened to him, the Pei family would really be doomed.

Tao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. She had to think about it carefully. The most important thing now is to make money. Money can make all the difference. With money, their life can be better, and maybe they can do something with the government and give it to Pei Zhan. Find an easier job.

Tao Zhen was thinking about it, and Pei came over and pulled her sleeves.
"what happened?"

Tao Zhen followed Little Brother Pei to the wasteland not far from the river and saw a red thing exposed.

Tao Zhen was stunned: "This is..."

She dug up the soil and revealed a sweet potato. Tao Zhen carefully dug out the sweet potato and looked at Pei Heng. Pei Heng's face was full of joy.

Tao Zhen said: "Look around again. Are there any others?"

Pei Heng nodded excitedly, and the two of them searched around and found another one. Tao Zhen carefully placed them in the basket.

The sweet potatoes were an unexpected harvest. This area was all wasteland. It didn't look like they were grown. They probably grew up accidentally if they were left behind.

Both of them were very happy. When they returned to the river, Tao Zhen's fishing rod did not yield any results. Fishing was indeed not that easy. Tao Zhen decided to find a net to try tomorrow.
