Ye Yuran took one out with great effort, wiped the mud clean with grass leaves, and then broke the sweet potato, which was slightly larger than his fist, into two halves, keeping half for himself and giving the other half to Li.

"Try it and see how it tastes."

As he said that, he didn't care about Mr. Li, so he put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Li didn't dare to eat, and looked at her nervously: "Mom, you haven't eaten, have you? You don't feel any discomfort, right?"

"It's quite sweet!" Ye Yuran spit out the skin and said.

"It's really sweet?"

"Can I still lie to you? I called you out just to poison you to death in this barren mountain?"

Li Shi smiled coquettishly. Although her mother-in-law was usually a bit fierce, she didn't think her mother-in-law would harm her like this.

Since my mother-in-law ate everything, what else is she afraid of?

I didn’t mind that the sweet potatoes were not washed, so I followed my mother-in-law’s lead and took a bite.

Suddenly, a sweet taste poured into his mouth, and Li was shocked: "Is it really edible?! No, I mean, why is it so delicious?"

While talking, he started eating.

"Really, Mom, this is delicious, even better than that little red fruit. It has more meat, is chewy, and is juicy..."

“It’s so delicious!”

After a while, Mrs. Li ate the whole half, not even the skin, but swallowed all the skin and mud.

However, Ye Yuran was still nibbling there slowly. Even if there was no water to wash it, he couldn't swallow the muddy skin, right?

She felt that she was already rude enough. When she compared herself with Mr. Li, she immediately felt that if she didn't have the skills to master, then these were the peasants who had truly endured hardships.

But when she was asked to swallow the mashed sweet potato slices, Ye Yuran still felt that she couldn't swallow it.

Otherwise, don’t eat the rest and go home and wash yourself before eating?

This skin is also edible.

"Mom, you eat first, and I'll dig." This time, without Ye Yuran's instructions, Li found a wooden stick and started digging. That was called a positive move.

"Mom, look, I dug another one!"

"Mom, this thing can really grow. Look, there are so many of them in this pile, and each one is bigger than a fist. Oh my god, it's so exciting."

"It's a pity that some of them were broken by me."

…

Ye Yuran discovered another characteristic of Li's - working faster than his own, provided that he had something to eat.

"Old Si's family, look around to see if there are any leaves like this."

"Okay, mother, you put these in your basket first." Mrs. Li took the sweet potato leaves on the ground and turned around to look for them.

The sweet potatoes were placed at the bottom and the wild vegetables were placed on top. Ye Yuran had just finished loading them when he heard her shouting over there: "Mom, come quickly, there are some over here too."

Ye Yuran quickly put the basket on his back and hurried over. Sure enough, he saw Mr. Li standing next to a pile of sweet potato slices and started digging.

"Mom, look, there are so many sweet potato slices and leaves, I can dig them out a lot."

Ye Yuran suddenly felt the urge to hold her "golden finger" and kiss it.

With it here, why worry about not being full?

"Fourth family member, please stop digging."

"Mom, there is still more food here. There is so much food, we have to dig it home quickly..."

"Stop digging. We can't carry so much back. You take a few back and ask your sister-in-law to cook the food. There are several people at home. You bring them all. Let them bring their guys and get all these back.

." Ye Yuran said, "Go separately, don't go together and attract other people's attention."

Although she was sweating profusely, Mrs. Li understood what her mother meant and nodded immediately.

Even though she had a big belly now, she worked quite neatly. She picked up some sweet potatoes in the basket, weighed it, picked up some wild vegetables to cover it, and turned around to leave.

Ye Yuran was a little worried: "Don't run too fast, take care of the child in your belly."

"Hey, I get it, mother." Ms. Li really felt that her mother-in-law was really not very kind to her. Whose mother-in-law is afraid that her daughter-in-law will be tired of the child when she orders her daughter-in-law to work?

Ye Yuran shook his head.

Coincidentally, Old Man Zhu and the others didn't have much work to do today, so they came back earlier than usual.

They were waiting for Ye Yuran to go home and cook, when they saw Mrs. Li coming back with a happy face.

As soon as she wiped the sweat from her forehead, she put down the backpack and said mysteriously: "Sister-in-law, come here quickly. Mom and I dug something good today."

"What good stuff did you dig up?" Lin came over shamelessly.

Mrs. Li disliked her a little, but she picked up a sweet potato from the basket and asked her to get water to wash it. She then directed her to the kitchen to get a knife, stamped it into several pieces, and gave each person a piece.

"What is this?" her man Zhu Si asked.

"Sweet potatoes are edible." Li took her own piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Although the others were a little confused, seeing that she had eaten them all, they started to try them one by one.

Zhu Si's eyes suddenly lit up: "What is this?! It's sweet and so delicious!"

Dabao and Erbao also shouted: "It's delicious! It's delicious!"

In the house, Zhu Bamei also heard it and quickly asked: "Is mother back, fourth sister-in-law? Please ask mother to come over and open the door."

Mrs. Li replied: "No, just wait."

Zhu Bamei cursed a few times, but she didn't dare to scold too loudly for fear of being overheard and suing her mother. Now her mother is still angry with her, and she is really afraid that her mother will get angry.

"Fourth brother and sister, where did you get this?" Zhu San also tasted it and hurriedly came over, wanting to reach out and take it.

Mrs. Li quickly stopped him: "Third brother, this is lunch, don't mess around."

"Ah? Lunch? Isn't this wild fruit?" Zhu San was a little confused.

Others also looked surprised.

"Don't ask me, I don't know. Mother said it." Mrs. Li said to Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law, mother said, pour some water at the bottom of the pot, put a bamboo steaming rack on top, and then put the washed sweet potatoes on

On top, heat up and cook. When it becomes soft when you pinch it with your hands and you can insert chopsticks into it, it will be done."

"Everyone else, get on board and follow me up the mountain in batches."

"Remember, take cover and don't let anyone discover you."

…

Before setting off, Ms. Li certainly did not forget to return the bag on her shoulder to her room. Whether it was a bird egg or a small red fruit, she did not reveal it to them.

Just kidding! The little red fruit is her favorite, and it is related to her plans to make a fortune, so she won’t give it to them.

As for the bird eggs, of course I have to wait until she comes back to get them, otherwise what if they are eaten by someone while she is away?

After coming out, he took Old Man Zhu and his gang up the mountain, not forgetting to remind them to bring their hoes.

"Why bring that?" Zhu Si asked.

Li replied: "You will know when you get to the mountain."

"You tell me first."

"Don't tell me. You'll find out later."

"You are my mother-in-law, tell me in a low voice, I won't tell them." Zhu Si secretly glanced around, looking cautious.

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at him, not being fooled.

Zhu Si returned defeated and could only shake his head with his third and fifth brothers regretfully.
