Of course, this was not the only thing that made Zhu Da unhappy.

I don’t know what’s going on recently. We all work together, but there have been several times when he didn’t see Old Man Zhu.

It's strange to say that he could still see people at first, but as he continued to work, his father disappeared?

He is never lazy at work and is known as "honest and capable". Is Zhu Da, who is always praised by Old Man Zhu as the most like him, happy?

——I’m sorry, I’m working so hard here, but my dad went away to hide?

It's not like Zhu Da has never thought about it. It's possible that Old Zhu is old and can't work anymore and wants to rest.

No problem, just say it, but Old Man Zhu didn't explain anything. He first arranged the work, but then "disappeared" himself.

Zhu Da: "..."

——So, this job is assigned to my second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother?

When Old Zhu made a bet with Ye Yuran, Ye Yuran asked for the boss, fifth, and seventh. In other words, the real people in charge of Old Zhu this year should be Zhu Er, Zhu San, and Zhu Si.

Zhu San has gone to town, forget it, Zhu Da will help take care of his share.

As the boss, Zhu Da felt that it was okay for him to work more, but he couldn't accept the fact that his old man was lazy at work.

"Why are you on your side, the fourth child, or the fifth child?" Old Man Zhu suddenly became unhappy when he heard Zhu Da's tone, and said with a downcast face, "Your mother makes the decision in this matter, listen to your mother."

Ye Yuran: "..." That's a good excuse.

Zhu Da: "..."

——I didn’t see anything, you made the decision.

Zhu Da gave up completely and could only look at Ye Yuran and said feebly: "Mom, you make the decision."

——Anyway, my mother must be on the side of the fourth and fifth brothers.

--well……

Just when everyone thought that the matter was settled and there was nothing more to say, Ye Yuran spoke up and said: "Actually, the boss's worries are not unreasonable."

"Mother!" Zhu Si and Zhu Wu were startled.

"Listen to me first," Ye Yuran said, "I also know your worries. I discussed this matter with the fourth family before. In the final analysis, whether to collect them all together or in batches. Later I

After thinking about it, it’s not impossible to keep a batch of them.”

"Mom, what can I do?" Zhu Da asked quickly.

"Anyway, there is a batch of sweet potatoes that are going to be reserved for the villagers. Why don't we just spread them out and let Li Zheng, the clan leader, take charge of this matter." Ye Yuran said, "Whether we can hold on to it or not, we don't need to do it ourselves.

If you worry about it, you will be upright, and the clan leader and the villagers will worry about it."

"Brilliant!" Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, "Why didn't I think of that? Mom, your idea is really great!"

"Yes, mother, we can ask Li Zheng and the clan leader to help. Anyway, they all know that our family has planted sweet potatoes and we are planning to lead the villagers to plant them next year." Zhu Si said with a smile, "Anyway, it will be sooner or later.

Well, we must go all the way to Li Zheng and the clan leader, so we might as well ask them to help us, so that we can save some energy."

"Then how many should we keep?" Zhu Wu asked a question, "In fact, we don't know exactly how many people will plant with us next year. We don't know how many people will plant, and we don't know how many will be left.

"

"No matter how we keep it, each family will only give a little sweet potato seed, and it is impossible to keep too much." Ye Yuran was not too worried about this. She said, "Based on the area planted by our family this year, we will let them

Go to Li Zheng and sign up with the clan leader, and each family will leave half an acre to an acre of land to grow sweet potatoes with us.

“There are many families in our village, so we can completely calculate them, so we know how many acres we need to plant.

"And it's not all given at once. It's divided into batches. Give as much as you want for the first time, as much as you want for the second time, as much as you want for the third time, and slowly..."

Ye Yuran had the idea of ​​asking Li Zheng and the clan leader to help, and began to make plans.

She even said: "Actually, you don't have to wait for next year. If someone is willing, they can plant them together after the autumn harvest this year. Seedlings will be raised in August, and by the autumn harvest in September, the seedlings will have grown out and can be transplanted..."

With the planting plan in this way, people at the table suddenly felt that this matter was promising and capable.

When everyone sees how their spring sweet potato harvest is going, there will be no need for them to encourage them, and others will want to follow suit and plant winter sweet potatoes.

Even if the winter sweet potato harvest is not as good as the spring sweet potato harvest, some harvest is better than none, and everyone will definitely be happy with it.

Everyone has hope and is tied to a rope. Who wouldn’t hope that these sweet potato seeds can be kept?

By then, are you still worried about someone stealing the sweet potatoes?

At the same time, Old Man Zhu was secretly thinking: When the time comes, he must convince Widow Qin to grow sweet potatoes with their family no matter what. This is a major event to increase the ration.

He even thought about whether he should be a little "selfish" and find a way for Widow Qin to get more sweet potato seedlings?

Even if he can't do it openly, he can secretly give more, right?

Soon, the matter was discussed and decided.

After dinner, leaving several daughters-in-law to tidy up the house, Ye Yuran took Old Man Zhu to Li Zheng's house.

If someone came to his house late at night, Zhu Lizheng might still feel a little uncomfortable, but it was Ye Yuran who came with good news, so he felt much happier.

"Can your sweet potatoes be harvested so early?!" Zhu Lizheng was pleasantly surprised.

Although he occasionally visited the sweet potato field, all he saw was the Zhu family's daughter-in-law cutting pigweed.

At that time, his old wife was still talking to him: "What do you think Aunt Zhu is thinking? Sweet potato leaves are edible, but growing such a big piece will not fill your stomach. Is it a waste?"

A large area of ​​lush greenery, Zhu Lizheng was unsure, and said: "Didn't Aunt Zhu ask us to wait? Then just wait. When will she stop keeping her word?"

"That's true." Mrs. Li Zheng didn't pursue it any further. Anyway, she had no right to interfere with what people wanted to grow.

Ye Yuran smiled and nodded to him, and took out a medium-sized sweet potato and said, "This was just harvested from the field. You can try it in the middle of the night."

Zhu Lizheng saw that it was quite clean, so he took it and broke it in half, and started eating with Mrs. Lizheng.

"Yeah, it's quite crispy and delicious." Mrs. Li Zheng took a bite and praised, "This stuff is good. You can eat it raw or cooked. It's so easy."

Ye Yuran smiled and said: "Cut it into pieces, cut into shreds and stir-fry, it can be used as a dish; steam it directly in a pot, or make porridge with rice, and it can also be used as a staple food. I personally think that when there is not enough food,

It’s also nice to have a sweet potato to keep you hungry.”

"It's not just good, it's very good." Mrs. Li Zheng gave a thumbs up, "Aunt Zhu, you have really made a great contribution this time. If the people of Zhujiacun know about it, they will definitely thank you."

This time is different from usual. In the past, the Zhu family was willing to cooperate with everyone in doing business, but it was a matter of money and goods, and no one took advantage of anyone.

At most, the Zhu family's income would be lower, allowing the villagers to earn an extra copper plate.
