Chapter 398 Du Shunjincheng's sweet potatoes

Old man Su had sharp eyes and a sharp tongue. He quickly understood the situation and even sped up the speed of digging the pit.

Zong Zhao quickly picked up the leaves and twigs and came back. He was neat and organized. Even the twigs were clearly layered, and the thicknesses needed at each stage were prepared.

Su Xi was a rough man. Seeing such details, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and gave him a thumbs up: "This is a good job, but I only have two sweet potatoes, and I still need one. Can you go and get one back?"

"Okay." Zong Zhao walked straight towards the little devil.

Xu Wan couldn't help it. She laughed and said, "Are you two picking on Jin Cheng alone?"

Su Xi laughed and said, "That kid has a face that deserves to be teased. What's wrong with taking his three sweet potatoes? One of us is his teacher and the other is his father. Isn't this what we should do?"

Xu Wan held her forehead and nodded: "Yes, it should be."

The more familiar the relationship, the easier it is to start, the truth.

Su Xi's sweet potato roasting pit was set up, leaves and twigs were lit, and the fire began to burn. While roasting sweet potatoes, Zong Zhao consciously added firewood, while Su Xi and Xu Wan sat beside him and chatted.

Occasionally, Zong Zhao would interject a few words, but not much. Su Xi knocked the ground with a stick, and then knocked Zong Zhao, and Xu Wan was afraid that he would be beaten.

"Boy, you talk too little, change this habit."

Zong Zhao hummed and said, "I'm changing it. I used to talk less than this."

Su Xi: "Hahaha, were you dumb before?"

Xu Wan: "!"

I always feel that you are on the verge of being beaten.

Zong Zhao was not angry, and replied naturally: "No, I just don't like to talk."

Su Xi asked: "Why do you want to change it now?"

Zong Zhao did not shy away and said bluntly: "It's a problem, of course I have to change it."

Su Xi laughed again: "You kid, it's good, you still have self-knowledge, change it quickly, otherwise it will be too boring."

"I'm trying hard."

Su Xi baked the sweet potatoes, took them out of the rack, and threw two of them to Zong Zhao, while pinching his face and the sweet potatoes, trying to cool them down with his face.

It didn't take long for Bao Longtu to come alive.

Zong Zhao used a handkerchief to pad it and broke a piece of sweet potato. The fragrance came out. He fanned the hot air with his hand and then handed it to Xu Wan.

Not far away, the teenagers who were busy digging sweet potatoes finally smelled something. They threw away their hoes, ran over and asked, "What smells so good? Are you eating something delicious?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Su, why is your face so black?"

Su Xi bared his teeth and smiled, "Still smiling? There's nothing for you to eat."

The teenagers changed their faces immediately: "Damn it!"

The little devil ran to his parents and asked, "Mom, what is this delicious food? Why is it so black?"

Xu Wan raised her hand and replied, "Roasted sweet potatoes, can't you see?"

"Huh?" He was surprised.

He Zheng also ran over and asked, "Why is the skin of the baked sweet potato so black? We've eaten it before, and it wasn't like this."

Xu Wan replied, "What you ate before was baked in the oven, this is baked in the pit. Look, Mr. Su just baked it there, and the rack is still there."

Wei Xinglu said excitedly, "We want to eat baked sweet potatoes too!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Yibai squeezed over, pushed Su Xi to the side, and soon occupied the pit.

Su Xi was almost pushed away, and said angrily: "Be careful, you little brats, you almost knocked my sweet potato away."

"Hehe..."

The five young boys were collecting firewood, making fire, and Shen Yibai even picked the five largest sweet potatoes from the little devil's bucket, and was caught by Zong Jincheng: "Xiaobai!! Why don't you take it from your own bucket!!!"

Shen Yibai said with a smile: "Yours is closer."

Zong Jincheng was even more annoyed: "Nonsense, it's obviously He Zheng's who is closer."

"..."

"Hahaha..." Xu Wan sat next to Zong Zhao, laughing so hard that she could hardly stop. She whispered, "Sure enough, it's still Jincheng's sweet potatoes are the most popular, they are magical. "

Zong Zhao's mouth corners also slightly raised, he whispered: "Is it enough to eat? If not, I will go and bake a few more for you."

Xu Wan smiled and asked: "Do you want to take more from Jincheng's bucket?"

Zong Zhao said confidently: "He is busy baking sweet potatoes now, I can't see."

Xu Wan laughed so hard that she wanted to cover her face: "You are so wicked... No, no, you will make Chengcheng angry in a while, mine is quite big, enough to eat."

The little guys worked hard, turned off the fire five times, poked the pit twice, and finally ate the sweet potatoes they baked by themselves half an hour later.

The skin was black, and the face was also black from eating.

"It's delicious. The ones you roast yourself are so delicious!"

"When I go home tonight, I'm going to bring some sweet potatoes back and roast them at home!"

"It's feasible, but it's a bit too late. Let's roast them after we get out of the Gongyuan."

"Okay!"

After lunch was settled, the five people started working again. This time, they dug sweet potatoes with a purpose, and they kept muttering: "I want to take this home, this one, and this one..."

After finishing the work in the field, they were so tired that they fell on the ground, not caring whether the ground was dirty or not, just blending with nature.

"I'm so tired..."

"It's okay, it's over, today is the last day of work."

"I don't want to experience it again, it's so hard."

"Yeah..."

"But the people here, they do it every day and every year..."

"They suffer even more."

Su Xi stood at the edge of the field, listening to them talk about the hard work of farm work and the hard work of farmers. He was filled with emotion. When the words came to his lips, they only became a statement: "I hope that when you become officials in the future, you can always think about the hard work of the people, worry about the worries of the people, and become a parent official who truly loves the people."

The five young boys were shocked.

The fatigue in their eyes was swept away, replaced by a more determined look. Zong Jincheng shouted directly: "We can do it!"

Others said in unison: "Yes! We can!"

...

The servants packed up their things and packed the sweet potatoes to be taken away. The boys also climbed onto the carriage one after another.

Su Xi stood in the field, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and said to Xu Wan: "It seems to be raining, and we can't leave today."

"Ah?" Xu Wan raised her head quickly.

I did see signs of rain, but I asked about the weather before going out, and it said there would be no rain today.
