After dinner the next day, the three of them took their tools and went up the mountain with baskets on their backs. Mo Fan is naturally not that diligent, he has nothing in his hands, like going on a picnic instead of digging sweet potatoes.
Zhou Linxuan was in charge of digging the ground, Jiang Hua was in charge of digging it out and putting it in the basket, and Mo Fan was in charge of watching.
It's that willful.
Jiang Hua was weak, and only carried a small part when going down the mountain, while Zhou Linxuan carried a full bamboo basket.
"Ah, what are you doing?"
In the morning, Uncle Zhang was very surprised to receive a bag of flour from the village head's house.
The village head actually gave him something
If it weren't for the things in his hand, he would have to see if the sun came out from the west today.
"Uncle Zhang, we are digging vegetables in the mountains. This thing is called sweet potato, and it is delicious." As he spoke, Jiang Hua took out one and showed it to him, "This thing can be cooked with porridge."
During the period, Jiang Hua kept looking at Mo Fan's face, and seeing that the other party didn't intend to stop him, she explained to Uncle Zhang, "It's this leaf, you can dig it to find sweet potatoes."
"Is this delicious?" Uncle Zhang hesitated, "Then I'll go dig some and try tomorrow."
Mo Fan, who was waiting at the side, became impatient, "Should we go? It's too late to cook dinner."
"I'll be right there," Jiang Hua replied, smiling at Uncle Zhang, and quickly walked a few steps to follow.
Possessed on the original owner, Mo Fan is already prepared not to eat delicious food. What he didn't expect was that Jiang Hua's cooking skills are good, and she often makes some delicious food.
Mo Fan was growing up, so he was very hungry. Mo's mother also told him that when Mo Fan was hungry, he asked Jiang Hua to cook for him. Therefore, even though the materials at home were reduced, Mother Mo didn't say anything.
Jiang Hua's biggest hobby in the past was eating. From going out to eat to messing around on her own, it was rare for her to be able to do her own thing in the afternoon.
Originally, she was worried that the young master would not like to eat it, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.
Food knows no age.
"Brother Kangkang, if my mother finds out about what I did, she will definitely say that I wasted food. Can you not tell your parents?"
Mo Fan gave her a charity look, and Jiang Hua was nervous. She was obsessed with ghosts, so she did this all of a sudden, and her heart skipped a beat when she took it out, fearing that the other party would reveal her unusualness.
"It's ok, but," Mo Fan let it go, "In the future, you can cook better food for me."
Jiang Hua promised, "No problem, as long as I have the ingredients, I will definitely make more delicious food for you."
So, Fanfan, you like the heroine because she can cook delicious food for you, right? The system is speechless.
After that time, the two had their own little secrets, and the relationship became harmonious, and Mo Fan stopped finding faults from time to time.
At least, that's how Jiang Hua understood it.
While enjoying the food, Mo Fan did not forget his plan to lose weight. There was a meal in the afternoon, and he ate better in the evening, which made Mo's mother feel distressed for a while, and said bluntly that he suffered, and asked him to eat more.
At this time, Jiang Hua felt guilty for a while. Brother Kang Kang must have eaten too much of the food she made in the afternoon, so she couldn't eat dinner.
Within a few days, news of the sweet potato spread throughout the village, and even people from the county came to inquire.
Someone in the village brought sweet potatoes to the town to sell, and the county magistrate happened to eat them, so he sent someone to ask.
Mo's father glared at Jiang Hua, and then confessed that Er Ya of their family discovered it.
The person who came was the master of the county. Seeing this and asked carefully, Jiang Hua looked flattered and timid, and narrated what she had discovered, and also mentioned the matter of planting.
Mo Fan looked at it coldly, he didn't expect the silly white sweet heroine to have acting skills.
In the end, the master said gently, "This is a good thing. One piece is equivalent to a bowl of rice. The county magistrate plans to report this thing to the capital. If it goes well, everyone will benefit by then."
"Really? My lord." Father Mo was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.
"This is a good thing. Although it was found in your village, it doesn't necessarily only grow here. If you can find a large number of these sweet potatoes in the wild, it will be a great achievement."
The master didn't explain that it was a food problem, but just said it in general.
And a teacher in a county can think of the people's livelihood from this, and the other party is obviously not the kind of muddle-headed official, but really thinking about the people.
After politely sending away the master who was carrying a sack, the joy on Mo's father's face dissipated, and he called Jiang Hua in front of him, "Did you say that?"
They didn't explicitly prohibit Jiang Hua from telling about the discovery of sweet potatoes. He thought the other party understood, but he was a fool.
However, it was a surprise to be appreciated by the magistrate, and Mo's father was not that angry. The most important thing is not the reward, but the adult's approval. This is a great blessing for the common people.
Jiang Hua shrank her neck and whispered, "I thought it was okay."
Father Mo waved his hand, "Forget it this time, and pay attention to everything in the future."
Jiang Hua nodded obediently.
With this matter, Jiang Hua mentioned planting again, and the village head did not object. As for the planting method, Jiang Hua guessed it out, and Father Mo wrote it down and asked Jiang Hua to experiment first.
As for Jiang Hua, her status in the Mo family has obviously improved, and Mo's mother will listen to what she says.
The villagers thought that the village chief asked Jiang Hua to tell them about the sweet potato.
Everyone in the village knew about Jiang Hua's situation at Mo Fan's house. How could the other party speak out without the village chief's permission
What happened to Uncle Zhang, and after the hunters experimented, they found that they could get a gift of rice or noodles for sending meat, which gradually improved the reputation of the village chief's family in the village.
Sweet potatoes have given some people in the village a source of food for those who can't eat enough. There is a large piece of sweet potato on the mountain, they dug it, enough to eat for a long time.
*****
In early September, the town holds an annual big fair where items can be sold or purchased.
"Jiang Hua, you should follow along this year."
Every year at the gathering, Jiang Hua would be left to watch the house, Mo's parents would sell things and the other would buy, and Mo Fan would go to play with them. This time Mo's mother asked Jiang Hua to go with her, and Jiang Hua was overjoyed.
This also indirectly shows that Jiang Hua's status in Mo's father and Mo's mother's heart has improved.
Because they had to catch the early market, Tianmengmengliang's family had dinner early, put on the ox cart and prepared to set off.
It's good for them, they have their own cars, and those who don't have cars have to walk for an hour on foot.
It is said to be a car, but it is actually a wooden board with wheels, covered with a layer of straw and clean cloth, on which people can sit. Mo's father and mother sat in the front and drove the car, and the other three sat on the back of the car, with several boxes of dried vegetables piled up beside them. A few small bundles are handkerchiefs, purses and other items that Mo's mother and Jiang Hua embroidered intermittently throughout the year.
Jiang Hua sat on one side with her knees folded and her arms folded. Mo Fan asked the man to sit on the other side, leaning directly on the man's chest and preparing to sleep again.
"Don't call me until you arrive, do you know? Don't wake me up." Mo Fan confessed.
The man nodded sharply and made a gesture of shutting up.
Mo Fan sat between the man's legs, letting the man wrap his arms around him to stabilize himself, tilted his head, leaned on one of the man's shoulders, and closed his eyes.
Jiang Hua is also half-closed at the moment. She usually wakes up early, but she doesn't wake up so early, she just yawns because of sleepiness.
Seeing Mo Fan's actions, Jiang Hua's drowsiness disappeared immediately. As a senior rotten girl, with such a loving picture, she really can't help but be cute, okay? !
Mo Fan has already lost a lot of weight. His slightly chubby body and detailed facial features make him not look ugly, but rather cute. The man leaned his back loosely on the back board, with a bit of caution in his eyes, lest he disturb the other party's rest.
Zhou Linxuan, who was silent and focused, didn't look like the fool who would only giggle beside Mo Fan at all. Moreover, the man is really good-looking, Jiang Hua couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
At this time, the man suddenly raised his head and frowned at him, but did not speak. Jiang Hua's heart skipped a beat, her heart beat fast, she turned her head away, and stopped looking at the two of them.
Why did she feel that there was hostility coming from the man's eyes just now
Relieved, Jiang Hua quietly took a look. Zhou Linxuan lowered his head and pursed his lips lightly, as if watching Mo Fan in a daze.
Is it an illusion? Jiang Hua thought so.
This picture is harmonious but weird, and she didn't realize it until halfway through the journey. How can ordinary people sleep so peacefully if they are stared at like this
Mo Fan's brows were stretched, and his face was calm, with a look of peace of mind.
Is the other party too heartless, or is he too trusting of the person behind him? Jiang Hua didn't think about it until she entered the town.
"Mom, can I bring Dali to play by myself?" A few years ago, Mo Fan was young, and Mo's parents always took him with him. Only when the market is closed, take people to stroll for a while.
Mother Mo hesitated. Great strength is great, but the other party is obviously not a sane person, how can this make them feel at ease
Mo Fan rolled his eyes, "Then let Jiang Hua go with us."
"No," Mother Mo objected, "Jiang Hua wants to sell things for me."
"But I want to go for a stroll. I used to follow you all. The market is gone." Mo Fan acted coquettishly, not blushing at all.
"Okay, I agree," Mother Mo was shaken dizzily and reluctantly agreed.
Jiang Hua originally thought about how to leave Mo's side to do her own business, but Mo Fan helped her solve the problem.
If it was Mo Fan, if she had to leave for a while, the other party would definitely not be suspicious.
In Jiang Hua's eyes, Mo Fan is just a younger brother who likes to have a little temper and is mischievous. Thanks to her efforts, the other party trusted her very much.
"Thank you mother."
Mo's mother took out a money bag, "Hold the money well, there are many people here, don't be touched. Buy whatever you like, these are all for you."
Mo Fan happily took it, and turned around and walked into the crowd with the two of them. Mother Mo shook her head, took out a small bench, sat down, and concentrated on selling.
