After Ke Yushi finished speaking, he hurriedly entered the silkworm room with the silkworm plaque.

Seeing Ke Yushi leaving hastily, Ke Zhongshi shook his head in disappointment.

Family, sometimes it really can't stand scrutiny.

Ke Shuisheng's father and daughter walked up the small river, and they saw Ge Yunzhang watering vegetables in the vegetable field from a distance.

"Mr. Ge, where are you pouring vegetables?" Ke Shuisheng walked over with a hoe on his shoulder.

Ge Yunzhang raised his head and asked, "Uncle Shui Sheng", his eyes seemed to fall on Ke Hanxue.

Ke Hanxue pursed her lips, looked down at her feet, and didn't speak, worrying that her father was too familiar with Ge Yunzhang and knew about her divorce with Ge Yunzhang too early.

"Ge Gongzi, your water vegetables are really gratifying!" Ke Shuisheng said, looking at the green vegetables on the ground.

Ge Yunzhang smiled faintly at Ke Shuisheng.

Mizuna?

Ke Hanxue took a peek at the vegetable field of Ge's family. This water vegetable looks a bit like the cabbage heart I saw in the previous life, but it is not exactly the same as the cabbage heart. The leaves are relatively thin and the flowers are pink.

Speaking of which, in my memory, there are only beans and radishes that I have seen in my previous life, and the other four seasons of vegetables are all she has never seen in my previous life. The beans are not called beans here, but long beans.

Ke Hanxue thought for a while before finding the impression of this water dish in his memory.

This water vegetable is actually similar to the mustard greens from the previous life. It tastes bitter and sweet when fried. The difference is that this water vegetable can also be used to make soup after drying. It is sweet and delicious, and it also has the effect of reducing heat.

Ke Shuisheng glanced at Ge's two-acre vegetable field, all of which were planted with water vegetables, and asked, "Master Ge, there are only two people in your family, how can you grow so many water vegetables to eat?"

"Uncle Shuisheng, I didn't grow these water vegetables to eat by myself. After these water vegetables are cooked, I will dry them and sell them to the 'Ke Yue Lai' restaurant in the town." Ge Yunzhang smiled lightly at Ke Shuisheng, and did not hide it Tibetan.

"Mr. Ge, you are really capable. I heard that not everyone can enter this 'Ke Yuelai'. You can still do his business?" Ke Shuisheng admired Ge Yunzhang even more in his heart.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Ge, are your mother's feet better?" Ke Shuisheng suddenly remembered Ke Zhong's saying that Mrs. Ge fell into the river and sprained her ankle.

Ke Shuisheng's question made Ge Yunzhang subconsciously look at Ke Hanxue, with unclear meaning in his eyes.

"Father, are you still leaving?!" Ke Hanxue was so angry that his father brought up this matter for no reason. Looking at Ge Yunzhang's expression, did he think her father was begging for favors from him?

"This child," Ke Shuisheng glared at his daughter sullenly, then turned his head and smiled at Ge Yunzhang: "I just spoiled Xue'er, Mr. Ge, don't mind!"

"It's okay, Uncle Shuisheng." Ge Yunzhang also wanted to know why the contrast between Ke Hanxue's before and after was so big. She didn't see herself like this before.

"Father, it's going to be dark any more." Ke Hanxue finished with a dark face, and walked to her sweet potato field first.

Seeing this, Ke Shuisheng had no choice but to smile dryly at Ge Yunzhang: "Mr. Ge, I won't delay you pouring vegetables, let's go first."

Looking at Ke Hanxue's fading back, Ge Yunzhang frowned thoughtfully.

He always felt that this girl had changed a bit in recent days, and Ge Yunzhang couldn't tell what was different.

Although he didn't have any special affection for her, Ge Yunzhang still felt weird seeing Ke Hanxue, who had originally admired him, avoiding him like a snake overnight.

Ke Shuisheng came to the sweet potato field with a hoe on his shoulder, pushed aside the weeds and sweet potato seedlings, and carefully dug out a big sweet potato.

"Father, this sweet potato field is really fat enough. You didn't see how the sweet potatoes can grow so well after taking care of them!" Ke Hanxue said happily looking at the bowl-sized sweet potatoes in his father's hands.

"Well, this sweet potato can be dug!" Ke Shuisheng nodded.

This sweet potato is not a staple food, no matter how good it grows, Ke Shuisheng doesn't feel much.

"Father Chun'er, are you ready to dig sweet potatoes too?"

Suddenly, Tongsuo Niang's voice came from another sweet potato field.

Ke Shuisheng looked up, and responded with a smile: "Brother Shitou, Tongsuo Niang, you also dig sweet potatoes?"

Shitou was Tongsuo's father's name. Ke Shuisheng grew up with him, and their relationship was considered good in the village.

"That's right, some sweet potatoes are cracking, I'm afraid they will go bad if you don't dig them out." Father Tongsuo replied.

It turns out that Tongsuo's sweet potato field is next to his own!

Ke Hanxue's eyes lit up, and a plan sprouted in his mind.

"Uncle, Auntie, how many acres of sweet potato land does your family have?" Ke Hanxue asked with a smile.

"It's a little more than five mu." Father Tongsuo replied.

"Uncle, auntie, can you finish eating so many sweet potatoes?" Ke Hanxue asked in surprise.

"Almost, if we can't finish eating, we won't grow so many." Tongsuo Niang laughed.

The people here put most of their energy into silkworm rearing, so it is not bad to be able to grow sweet potatoes for one season a year. If the sweet potatoes in these acres of land are well preserved, their family can eat them for a year or so .

"By the way, Shuisheng, didn't you say you bought an ox cart to pull people there?" Tongsuo asked.

"Yeah, didn't you just come back? When I saw others digging sweet potatoes on the road, I realized that we should be able to dig sweet potatoes."

"Shuisheng, our family's sweet potatoes will be dug up tomorrow morning, if you want help, just say a word!" Shitou said heartily.

"Understood, Big Brother Stone!"

The two families had been taking care of each other before, and worked together when they had work, so Ke Shuisheng was not polite to Shitou, and agreed with a smile.

"Father, how many days will it take to dig the four acres of sweet potato fields?" Ke Hanxue looked at a large field of sweet potatoes overgrown with weeds and felt a headache.

Now her father has to pull the ox cart during the day, and mother has to take care of the silkworm house. Even if she doesn't go to town with her father tomorrow, she can't dig so many sweet potatoes by herself.

"In the past, me, your second uncle and the others, and sometimes fellow villagers came to help, so we had to dig for five or six days." Ke Shuisheng also became worried. Now he is the only man in the family, and he has to dig again. Bullock cart, who is going to dig so many sweet potato fields?

Ke Shuisheng's father and daughter returned home with their own concerns.

After dinner, Ke Hanxue went into her parents' room and discussed digging sweet potatoes with her parents.

"Father, mother, I have an idea!" Ke Hanxue said.

"Oh?" When Ke Shuisheng heard that his daughter had an idea, he immediately became energetic: "What idea?"

"Xue'er, tell me quickly." Ke Zhong pulled her son who was jumping on the bed into her arms, and looked at her little daughter expectantly with her ears open.

This little daughter is getting more and more ideas now, and every time she speaks out an idea, it can change the family, so Ke Zhong's intuition is that the idea said by the little daughter must be a good thing for their family .
