Just as Xue Yan thought of this, he heard Jiang Yue’s whisper to him, which further confirmed his guess that it was potatoes. Even though he had already guessed it, he still nodded subconsciously after hearing it.
“What is this? It’s quite big.” Xue Erfu didn’t recognize the potato at all. He just happened to be carrying something over, so he put down the load and took the potato to take a closer look.
He had no idea what it was.
Xue Dafu and the others had also taken a break to come over, so they didn’t know what it was.
“Did Xue Yan and Jiang Yue dig this up? I don’t think they did, I’ve never seen it before.” Xue Erfu said.
“Wait.” Li Qingshu said with a smile. “You don’t understand what I mean. What I mean is that this thing grew from the wild thing that your family planted in the land on the east side of the mountain! No, no, no, that’s not right either. It didn’t grow in your family’s land… Forget it, I can’t explain it clearly! Actually, it’s like this. My sister went to the other side of the mountain to dig some wild vegetables for the chickens at home. When she was digging for the wild vegetables, there were two wild things that were exactly the same as yours. She was originally digging for wild vegetables, but when she dug into the soil, she seemed to have dug something else. It’s this thing. Look, there’s a hole here. It’s just that my sister didn’t know that this thing was growing in the soil. I dug it up with a shovel and found out that it was growing under that wild thing.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue realized that Li Qingcao had discovered it by accident, so she glanced at her..
Li Qingcao was 15 years old. She was dressed in gray, coarse clothes and was standing beside Li Qingshu with a vegetable basket on one arm. She was not short, but her frame was very small. She was skinny and had freckles on her face. She was smiling like the others. She seemed simple and looked like she had a good personality.
“Don’t peanuts grow in the ground too? I feel like this one is a bit like a peanut. They all came from the ground.” Li Qingshu said. “Not only are they bigger, but there are three or four of them under each stalk. Look, my sister only dug those two stalks, and there are seven of them that popped out. Other than the one in your hand, there are six more.”
As he spoke, Li Qingshu took the basket from his sister’s hands and gestured for Xue Erfu and the others to look inside. Other than the wild vegetables, there were indeed six yellowish oval things in the basket. Some were slightly smaller, some were slightly bigger, but they were all quite big.
“That’s amazing!” Xue Erfu, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and Li Hehua were all curious.
“The thing is… I don’t know if it’s edible,” Li Qingshu said with a sheepish smile. “It doesn’t look like it’s inedible. Anyway, my sister brought it back. Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, take a look.” As he spoke, Li Qingshu bent down and lowered the basket a little so that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could also see it.
“Do you guys want to go to your family’s land and check it out?” Li Qingshu also asked, “It should be the same thing. Look, my sister even brought back a wild plant. Isn’t it exactly the same as the one planted on the land to the East of your house? Everyone has seen it and said that it’s the same. There can’t be any mistake. Your family also planted one acre of land, and there are already so many of these under these two stalks. How many of these things can grow on one acre of land?”
“Yes, that’s true. You’ll have so many!” Many people laughed in agreement.
Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could speak, Li Hehua whispered excitedly to Liu Guixia, “Mother, so it wasn’t planted for nothing, the things were just growing in the soil..”
