Chapter 61 Planting Potatoes

Aunt Wang's words made Mei Luotao feel embarrassed, but she didn't know how to refute.

Aunt Wang has always been easy-going, but now her words seem to have some sharp edges, which makes people frown.

"Aunt Wang is a good person and is kind to us sisters. We should thank you. But for such a big matter as recognizing a godmother, we need to discuss it with the elders in the family before we can make a decision."

Melome stepped forward and looked at Aunt Wang, wondering why she was acting like this.

"Yes, I am anxious. You really need to discuss this kind of matter with the elders in the family." Aunt Wang smiled coquettishly, "Sanya is really smart."

Melome: "Thank you, Aunt Wang, for the compliment. It's getting late, so we'll go back first."

"I have been helping out all day today. There are still some vegetables left at home. I will pack them for you. Your sisters can take some back to improve the food."

In her mind, Mei Laoer's family has always been poor. After finally making some money, they went to treat Mei Qihai's leg. Maybe they are still in debt now.

Aunt Wang was about to go to the kitchen to get food, but Merome stopped her.

"No need, Aunt Wang, we have food at home. Our sisters will go back first."

She declined politely, took Mei Luotao with her, and the three sisters left together.

"Mom, you shouldn't have said those words just now."

After seeing the three of them walking away, Du Lanfeng came out of the room. With the female family members there, it was difficult for him to come out and interrupt.

Aunt Wang was stunned: "Mom didn't say anything."

Suddenly thinking of the three sisters from Mei Lao's family, she looked at her son and said sincerely: "Now that you have been elected, the matchmaker will definitely cross the threshold of our family. But Feng'er, this country girl is not suitable for you. My son should

Matching the official lady."

Du Lanfeng frowned and said, "Mom, I just want to study hard now and don't think about getting married."

When he said this, a figure suddenly flashed in his head, but he was quickly shaken out of his head.

My sister-in-law is too tough!

"Feng'er, hard work is a good thing, but you are not young anymore. When you meet a suitable girl, you can make a decision first. It may be helpful to your future."

If there is help from the official lady, Feng'er's path should be much smoother.

Aunt Wang has always been more concerned about her son's affairs, ranging from studying and taking the top prize to eating and sleeping.

"Mom, let's talk about these invisible things later."

He waved his hand and prepared to walk to the room. After walking a few steps, he thought of something, then turned back and said, "Mom, I recently received news from my mentor that our place may not be peaceful."

Aunt Wang panicked and said in surprise: "What do you mean by not being peaceful? Is the drought getting worse?"

Du Lanfeng frowned: "My mentor didn't say it, but I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"What should we do?" Aunt Wang held the handkerchief and walked around the room with her hands clasped together.

…………

Here, after the three sisters Melome came out, they kept walking forward without anyone speaking.

When I arrived at home, the atmosphere was quite depressing.

"Sister, what's wrong with you today? Ever since you arrived at Aunt Wang's house, you haven't been able to leave her."

Mei Luoxing spoke, breaking the deadlock.

Today, the eldest sister has been worried all day long, and even a heartless person like her found out.

"I... didn't... it's nothing. Maybe you saw it wrong." Mei Luotao felt very uncomfortable and quickly took a few steps forward, then paused, "You two, don't think too much, the eldest sister is just worried.

The rice here has not been harvested yet.”

It was obvious that he had something on his mind and was superfluous. Melome found it funny. After thinking about it, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

The second sister doesn't understand, but she understands.

Although she has been single for many years and has never held a man's hand in her two lives, it does not mean that she does not understand anything.

After all, reading romance novels is not free!

After thinking about it, he looked at his eldest sister and said seriously: "Sister, just pursue what you like. Don't care about other people's opinions. After all, your life is your own."

Making your own decisions about your own life is the way to go.

Melo Tao and Mei Luo Xing were frightened by Melo Mei's unworldly words. They didn't understand how their sister could have such thoughts, but it was indeed touching.

"Third sister, you should pursue what you like, even if...even if it's marriage?"

Melotao's voice lowered, her cheeks were red, and she was very embarrassed.

Melome was speechless: "Of course, if you don't go looking for it yourself, how can you ask your parents to find it for you?"

Mei Luo

She felt that her sister was right, but she also felt that her parents' orders to find a matchmaker were very important. In her impression, no one really pursued marriage on their own.

Even for the third uncle and the third aunt, the parents of the two families agreed. Even so, they only met in private before marriage, and they are still insulted by the grandma to this day. They often use this incident to attack the third aunt, which shows that the restraint on girls has

How big.

Mero Xing remained skeptical about what Mero Mei said.

Melome smiled and said: "Yes, we all are matchmakers ordered by our parents, so we don't care about other people's opinions. If I like someone in the future, I will definitely pursue him boldly."

"You girl, you are so ashamed. What are you thinking about doing at such a young age?"

Mei Luoxing knocked her sister on the forehead angrily, and the two of them got into a fuss.

…………

Since the banquet was held at Mrs. Wang's house, the village seems to have returned to peace. The fields should be irrigated, and the rice should be harvested. Although there are not many grains of millet, it is still more or less food.

Straw can also be used to build houses, make mats, and make straw shoes. It is also a rare feed for those who feed cattle. Even if it is not good, it can be used as firewood, so even if it is bare rice straw, it is reluctant to throw it away.

Merome had a large family, so she harvested the crops in the field in just a few days and started planting potatoes.

She had no intention of dividing the potato seeds among the villages. After all, they were not sweet potatoes. She could just use the vines that grew when planting.

Potatoes were grown from stems with buds, so her family could see how many she bought. Besides, she was still waiting to make a fortune from it, so she secretly planted them at home.

"Sanya, have you really harvested your potatoes?" Mei Laoer straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hoe.

It's so hot today!

"Of course, we are planting autumn potatoes and we will harvest them in the spring."

Potatoes can be planted in two seasons, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, or planting in autumn and harvesting in spring. However, most people only plant them in one season, and few grow them in two seasons.

Merome knew about this when she was a child studying at her grandmother's house in the countryside. She saw her grandmother planting potatoes every autumn, and then she realized that potatoes could still be planted in autumn.

Now that I think about it, I still have to thank my great-grandmother.

A few people quickly planted the potatoes, and Mei Laoer carried a bucket again to fetch water to irrigate the ground. But as soon as they took the bucket, before they left, someone suddenly ran over and shouted.

"Brother Mei, come and help. Our village and Shanghe Village are at war."
