Because the plants that were exposed on the ground never bore any fruit, the family had always thought that they were planted in vain.

Not only did their family think so, but the villagers also thought so, but Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t know how to explain it.

Whether it could be eaten or grown, Liu Guixia was still very happy. She said,

“So they were just growing in the soil?”

Li Qingcao smiled. “I saw that on the mountain over there, there’s also the same vines in your land. However, it’s at the bottom of the slope.”

An elder in the village laughed and said, “These wild things. Weren’t they dug up and planted by Xue Yan and Jiang Yue on the mountain over there? No wonder there are them there. It would be great if humans could eat this. Look at how big this is, I feel like I’ll be full after eating one.”

“Then I’ll go to the field with Xue Yan and see them,” Jiang Yue said.

Seeing that the sun had just set and that Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu still had to carry the soybeans back, Liu Guixia and Li Hehua had no objections.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t go back to take a small hoe. They could just use the sickle in the basket. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan turned around and went back to the mountain.

Liu Guixia and Li Hehua quickly went back to make dinner.

Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu also returned home with their bags. After putting down their bags, they went back up the mountain to continue harvesting.

Xue Yifu had just finished his work and was not doing any more wood work today. He took his carrying pole and went up the mountain with them to carry some wood. Xue Sifu had also returned from looking at the shop in town, but he hadn’t taken a good look at it yet. He had looked at a few today, but he didn’t like any of them. He planned to continue looking tomorrow. Seeing that there were still many bundles of soybeans that hadn’t been brought back, he took the carrying pole and rope and went with them.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had arrived at their family’s potato field, and they were squatting in front of a potato plant.

Xue Yan had already taken off the basket on his back.

Jiang Yue took out a sickle from the basket and used the tip of the sickle to dig at the soil. She was afraid of cutting the potatoes, so she slowly dug around it. Xue Yan didn’t use the sickle, but used his hands to help dig the soil aside from time to time until a potato was slowly exposed.

In fact, they could have dug some up and fried them at home, but everyone was too busy right now. Moreover, the potato plants were still quite green, so it was fine to let them grow in the ground. Jiang Yue did not care about these potatoes. Now that Li Qingcao had discovered it, she immediately took the opportunity to let everyone know.

If no one found out, she and Xue Yan would have to pretend to pull out a plant, only to find out that there was something growing in the soil.

“We’ll just dig one for each of them today.” Jiang Yue said in a low voice. “I’ll let my family take a look at them first. It won’t be too late to come back and dig them all up in a few days. They should be about this size and won’t grow any bigger. They can still stay in the soil for a few days. However, the red, white, and purple sweet potatoes will take a longer time. These three types of sweet potatoes can only be collected in the middle and late of next month. It’s fine to dig up some from time to time and bring them back to eat. However, the sweet potatoes will be the largest by then and would rot after.”

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded. Seeing her dig the big potato out of the soil, she took it and put it into the basket.

She could clearly see that there were two potatoes next to them in the hole.

Hence, she buried the soil that she had dug up so that the potatoes weren’t exposed..
