When it was almost time to bake, Li Wei hurriedly pulled out the sweet potatoes, and the aroma became stronger.

微微焦黑的外皮，沾着柴灰，顾不得烫手，扒开外皮，露出焦黄的内里，香气扑鼻。

Rushing into her mouth, Reeves swallowed the hot sweet potato with a sigh.

The aroma is confusing, the taste buds are opened instantly, and the delicious food in the world is nothing more than this.

锅铲一扔，黎芸用力一撞，挤开黎薇，从灶膛里扒出两个地瓜，忙往嘴里塞。

Within a few minutes, the two of them were gone, leaving only a patch of sweet potato peels.

“不是不吃么，怎么还来抢？”黎薇用手背在嘴边蹭了蹭，不出意外，多了一抹黑色。

"I'm not stupid if I don't eat it when it's put in front of me."

“你们在吃什么，这么香？”黎落到处嗅了嗅，“是烤地瓜，给我吃点。”

“没了。”黎薇一摆手，“总共也没几个，还不够填牙缝的。”

“我不信。”黎落蹲在灶膛口四处扒拉，不得不死心。

"Li Yun, Li Wei, you two prodigal sons, no one will allow you to dig sweet potatoes and eat them." Liu Meihua scolded angrily, "Forget it, I'm so greedy for you. The sweet potatoes have just grown and they've made you miserable. What will happen to you in the future?"

“黎薇挖的。”黎芸指着黎薇，“她非要挖，我说啥也劝不住，还要忙着做饭。地瓜烤熟了，闻着味儿真香，就抢了几个吃。”

Li Wei glared, "You eat as much as I do, and the evidence around your mouth has not been wiped clean."

不等两人争辩完，黎荣到处嗅，猛地道：“不对，除了烤地瓜味，还有油味儿，你们还吃啥了？”

Liu Meihua ficou chocado. She walked to the chopping board and bent down to take a look. "You've eaten all five eggs, so why don't you eat me too? You're a ghost who was reborn from starvation. You stuffed all the good things in the house into your stomach, so why don't you eat them to death?"

Li Luo: "What do eggs taste like?"

Li Rong: "You eat secretly at home and don't leave any for me."

Liu Meihua raised her eyebrows, "Eat, eat, eat, everyone knows how to eat. Li Wei, you are such a lazy cook. When you wake up and don't go to work in the fields, you know how to be lazy and eat."

"Okay, let's eat." Li Ershi walked in and sat at the table, "The eggs were specially exchanged by Li Wei for Li Yun yesterday to replenish her body. She hasn't recovered yet, so it's just right to eat. A few sweet potatoes are not worth yelling at."

“阿爹说的对。阿娘，二姐劳苦功高，当务之急是赶快恢复，再去后湖捞更多鱼，换更多好东西。”黎薇一边插话，边揭开锅盖盛饭。

"It's all you who got used to it." Liu Meihua said bitterly when the head of the family spoke. You can't do anything to Li Wei without exposing her. She ate everything and couldn't make her vomit it out.

不过，她提了个要求，“黎薇，剩下的十几亩粟米，你要一天不落下地干活。”

黎薇乖乖道：“好的，阿娘，我一定好好干活。不过，我还有话要说。”

"Is there still time to plant sweet potatoes? If not, there will be little rain today and there will be a drought. Other crops are not suitable for planting. Sweet potatoes are drought-resistant. Let's plant a few more acres and harvest more sweet potatoes, which can also be used as food."

Li Luo was puzzled, "Third sister, can sweet potatoes be eaten as food? Aren't they just a vegetable?" In his memory, sweet potatoes were boiled with rice, or steamed or roasted.

一家人都看向黎薇，地瓜产量是高，但不能当做主食。

"Of course you can. There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes. They can be made into vermicelli, or made into powder and mixed with flour to make cakes. The same sweet potatoes can be cooked in different ways and become a variety of delicacies. They can both fill your stomach and serve as food."

Liu Meihua looked at her suspiciously, "You know how to cook it? That's nice. When have I seen you cook something delicious? Don't be bluffing us."

"Realmente não é verdade." Li Wei shook his head, "Mom, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, wait until the sweet potatoes are ripe, and I will make them for you to see."

“等你还不知道等到啥时候。吃饭，吃饭，我都要饿死了。”黎荣嚷着，“干了一天活，就靠晚上这一顿饭。我在地里，饿得两眼发昏，硬撑着干完活回来。”

一大锅野菜粟米糊糊，凉拌地瓜秧子，一碟干炒青椒，就是一家人的晚饭。

Seeing the fried green peppers, Liu Meihua wanted to say something but finally held back. I thought to myself, I wonder how many days the oil I changed yesterday will last.

Li Wei persuaded while eating, "The five acres of land to the west of our house have just been harvested and are close to home. We can just plant cuttings to plant sweet potatoes. Just cut off the sweet potato seedlings in the backyard and insert them into the soil."

"Seriamente?"

Li Ershi ficou surpreso. It was the first time he heard that sweet potatoes could be grown in this way. All the sweet potato seeds at home have been scattered on the ground. As novas sementes deste ano ainda não cresceram. I was silent just now because I couldn’t plant them.要是能用秧子插扦，倒是可以试试，反正就是多费些力气。

Li Wei's eyes were bright, "Dad, let's give it a try. If it works, it will be a big piece of sweet potato. If it doesn't work, you won't lose anything. You can succeed only if you try boldly. Time waits for no one. Let's divide the troops into two groups, harvesting corn along the way, and planting sweet potato seedlings along the way."

"OK." Li Ershi agreed immediately, looked around, and made a decision immediately: "I, Li Rong, your mother and I are harvesting corn, and you three are harvesting sweet potatoes."

“Você realmente acredita no que ela disse? Ela só não quer ir para a roça colher milho.” Os olhos de Liu Meihua se arregalaram de descrença.

"Tia, isso não está certo. Para cultivar batata-doce é preciso arar a terra e colher mudas. É tudo um trabalho árduo. Na verdade, não sou preguiçoso."

Liu Meihua ficou sem palavras. Ela realmente tinha esquecido que o campo de milho recém-colhido precisava ser arado e limpo de detritos antes do plantio.

“阿爹，翻地是力气活，把大哥给我们，小弟跟着你们呗？”黎薇猛然想到这一点，他们三个虽然都是干惯农活，可要耕种五亩地还是太费劲。 O irmão mais velho é muito forte, então virar o chão é melhor para ele.

These days there are no cattle or farming machinery, so we can only dig with hoes. A espinha dorsal do trabalho da família não é outro senão Li Rong, e Li Ershi ocupa o segundo lugar.

"Okay. The corn will be harvested in two days. After that, we will plant sweet potatoes together." Li Ershi disse simplesmente. Em um ano de fome, desde que você consiga comer mais, vale a pena.

Ele olhou para Li Yun, já se passaram dois dias, ela deveria ter se recuperado.

黎芸秒懂，“明天早上去后湖。不过，那小破船估计用不了多久，还是得想办法弄个结实的才行。”

"Você tem razão. Vamos nos contentar primeiro, e quando o milho for colhido e a batata-doce plantada, poderemos fazer barcos."

Li Ershi olhou para Li Wei: “Você é realmente bom em velejar?”

De repente, ele descobriu que o terceiro filho parecia ter mudado nos últimos dois dias. He was no longer lazy and wanted to try everything. Talvez ele estivesse com muita fome.

Li Wei was looked at with suspicion by her family members, and Li Wei's blood boiled, "I'm a master of craftsmanship, nothing can trouble me. Isn't it just splicing wood to make a boat? As long as there is suitable wood, it doesn't matter."

其他人都是一副你就吹吧的模样。
