Lu Yan looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "I think so."

Su Zizhong patted his shoulder and gave him a look that said "May the best come to you". "Why did you provoke her for no reason?"

"This girl is usually carefree and doesn't get angry very often, but once she gets angry, she's very stubborn and can't be pulled back even by ten cows."

Although she rarely gets angry, when she is really angry, she can be very angry. She won't do anything, but just won't talk to you, won't look at you, and acts as if she doesn't exist.

Looking at the angry figure, Su Zizhong frowned, "Hurry up and catch up. If you can't coax her today, you will have to endure it in the next ten days or half a month. Not only you, but we all have to be careful with our words."

"I'll keep watch here, you hurry up and follow."

Seeing Su Zizhong's expression as if he couldn't appease her, don't come back, Lu Yan didn't hesitate and chased after him.

"Let me help you get it?" Lu Yan reached out to take the backpack, but Su Ziling turned around and walked away.

Lu Yan was confused and chased after him again, "If your foot is uncomfortable, I will help you."

Su Ziling looked straight ahead and said, "No, thank you."

Her foot was clearly twisted, but she was walking very fast and with great strength. Normally, she could easily pull down the backpack, but he just picked it up and couldn't take it down.

Lu Yan: "..."

It’s over, it’s over, I’m so angry!

"Wherever you're going, I'll go with you."

"Need not."

"Let me help you carry the backpack."

"Need not."

"Tell me what you are going to do and I will do it."

"Need not."

Lu Yan: "..."

"Aqing?"

"Susu?"

"A-Ling?"

Su Ziling couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Shut up!" If he continued yelling, he would get goosebumps all over the floor.

"Oh." Lu Yan responded obediently, his tone sounding a bit pitiful.

Su Ziling walked in front and Lu Yan followed behind. She walked with a slight limp, but still walked very fast.

Lu Yan couldn't bear it anymore.

"Su Ziling!" He called out his full name. "Do you still want your foot?"

Su Ziling stopped and looked back at him, wanting to yell: What are you yelling about? Why are you so fierce?

But then he thought that this was inappropriate and forced himself to say it back.

Lu Yan just looked at her, watching her lips tremble a few times, and thought she was going to say something, but in the end, she swallowed it back.

Lu Yan: "..."

He really doesn't respond to any push or push.

Su Ziling walked in front and he followed closely behind without saying anything, so Su Ziling didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Still some distance away from the vegetable field, Wang Anan was seen bending over to pull weeds from a distance. "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Wang Anan stood up and threw the pig grass in his hand into the backpack. "Okay, I picked two handfuls of vegetable moss, another handful of gray-gray vegetables, and cut some leeks. I also picked two bunches of green vegetables. I was thinking of going back to cook them with taro and make taro tea. Why are you here?"

"I came to check on the fields. I haven't been here for a long time."

Su Ziling opened the fence gate of the vegetable garden and walked in. The vegetable garden was surrounded by a fence because they were afraid that the chickens from the neighbors would come down to peck at the vegetables. The fence gate in front was woven by Grandpa Su, with a loose buckle. One side could be tied with a rope, and the other side could be pulled over and buckled directly.

"By the way, is that piece over there an islet fruit? I see the tree and the flowers look a lot like an islet fruit. If it is, it should be ready for digging. The flowers have all withered and the leaves have all fallen."

Wang Anan pointed to the patch of yacon planted by Su Ziling nearby.

"It's not islet fruit, it's yacon fruit, but it can be dug up." Su Ziling laughed. She came to the vegetable garden just for this thing.

The time is almost up, and she is afraid that if she doesn’t dig now, there will be no time left.

I've been very busy recently, so I might as well dig it all up now while I still have the time.

"What's wrong with your feet?" Wang Anan looked down at her feet.

"Oh, it's okay. I just stepped on a stone and twisted it. I'll be fine after a while. Sister-in-law, go dig up two kohlrabi roots. We'll make taro tea tomorrow morning. It'll taste better if we add some greens and kohlrabi roots."

"Okay, but are you sure your foot is okay?" Wang Anan was worried.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can go ahead." Su Ziling waved his hand and went towards the piece of yacon.

Lu Yan followed her and when he saw that she was about to dig, he grabbed the hoe and said, "Go to the side."

Su Ziling curled his lips, walked to the side and roughly pointed to the location, fearing that he would damage the yacon.

The soil in the vegetable field was loose and fertile. After a few hoe strikes, he dug a circle of soil around it and directly lifted the yacon plant by the stem.

I saw that the ground below was full of fruits.

"Huh? Isn't this a sweet potato?" Wang Anan took a curious look.

"This is not a sweet potato, this is yacon." Looking at the plant, which weighed about 11 or 12 pounds, Su Ziling smiled from ear to ear, "Sister-in-law, do you have a sickle? I'll cut one for you."

"Yes, but there's vegetable pulp. I'll go wash it." She took the sickle and went to the ditch next to her to wash it. "This looks a lot like a sweet potato. The size and shape are similar, but the skin doesn't look the same."

Su Ziling took the knife and peeled one for her. Once the snow lotus skin was peeled off, the tender yellow flesh inside was revealed.

The peel has been completely peeled off, and the tender yellow flesh appears transparent in the afterglow.

"Sister-in-law, try it." Su Ziling handed her one and peeled another for himself.

Then he handed the sickle to Lu Yan and asked him to sharpen it himself.

"Huh? So tender? And it's sweeter than sweet potato and has more juice." Maybe it was the first time to eat it, Wang Anan's face was full of surprise.

"Really? It's tender and crispy, juicy and sweet. We can grow more next year and sell it then."

Su Ziling ate and talked, his eyes narrowed with smile.

She was born not to like eating fruits, except yacon. When she was in school, she saw people planting them on the roadside, so she often went to dig them with her friends. But they didn't dare to take too many. Each of them took one, washed it by the river, and ate it while walking. It was sweet and thirst-quenching.

"Sure, and it looks like the yield is quite high." Perhaps because they have been with Su Ziling for a long time, every time they encounter new crops, the first reaction of the Su family is to see whether the yield is high.

The three of them each nibbled one, and then they dug up the rest in one go.

Su Ziling picked them up very cleanly, taking them all away regardless of size. He kept the big ones for eating and used the small ones to grow seedlings to plant next year.

Three plants filled up the backpack that Su Ziling brought with them. When he weighed it at home, he was surprised to find that it weighed a full forty kilograms.

Su Ziling took a big one, peeled it, cut it into pieces and put it in a bowl for everyone to taste. Except for Su Amai, everyone else liked it very much.

Grandma Su tasted one piece and said that the yacon had a pine scent that she was not used to.
