Diligent farmers often see it this way: in their eyes, there is always work to be done everywhere and at all times.
When the master returned to the shop with the others, Lady Zhang, Lian Zhizhi, and Wu Lang saw the sweet potatoes and knew that this was the harvest from digging up just three sweet potato vines, they were pleasantly surprised.
"So, we're having sweet potatoes tonight?" Lady Zhang asked.
"Mm-hmm," Xiao Qi nodded vigorously. Since getting the sweet potatoes from Wang Youheng, Xiao Qi had been thinking about eating them. But initially, all the sweet potatoes had been used to cultivate slips, so Xiao Qi had been waiting for over three months.
Of course, Lian Manman had also been waiting for over three months; now, looking at the sweet potatoes, she also felt her mouth water.
"Okay, I'll go scrub the pot," said Lady Zhang with a smile.
"Then we'll wash the sweet potatoes," Lian Manman said.
