Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Chapter 119 Telling the Secret of Sweet Potato

Next are the two boys from Zhou Laoer’s family. The older one is Zhou Laiwang, who is 8 years old this year, and the younger one is Zhou Laixi, who is only 5 years old this year.

Both children are good-looking, and their looks are the result of their parents' good looks.

Both children are young, and they were very happy to receive the red envelopes.

Especially when they felt the weight of the red envelope in their hands, they knew there must be a lot of copper coins inside, and they all smiled even happier.

The two children are also very sweet-mouthed, calling them "Auntie" and "Uncle" one by one, so sweetly.

Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhou Er also gave red envelopes to Zheng Qingming and the other three. Zheng Qingming felt a little embarrassed because he always felt that he was an adult.

Zheng Xiaoman felt no pressure. He went out to wish Lixia and Chunya a happy new year without asking for anything in return, which made everyone in the room laugh.

Old Mrs. Zhou happily pulled both granddaughters into her arms, calling them "good grandchildren" one by one.

Zheng Xiaoman was thick-skinned and leaned in the old lady's arms, acting coquettishly and cutely without any burden at all.

Chun Ya is cute, and she is the best looking among all the children.

That chubby little face like a bun, coupled with a pair of big, bright eyes, makes people feel so cute just looking at you.

The old couple also gave red envelopes to their four children, each of which contained twenty cents.

Sun Zhaodi said, "Little sister, you guys sit down first. Your second sister-in-law and I will go cook."

Zhou Chunfeng got down from the kang and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

Wu Chuntao hurriedly stopped her, "Hey, you are not needed at all. You finally come back, just stay here and spend more time with your father and mother."

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, among the things I brought today is acorn tofu. You don't know how to make this tofu, so I have to do it."

Mrs. Zhou asked in confusion, "Acorn tofu? Could it be made from acorns?"

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, "Of course, this was figured out by Xiaoman, and the tofu tastes pretty good.

I brought some with me this time. If you like it, I will teach you how to make it, and you can make it yourself in the future."

Now Old Lady Zhou also became interested, "Come on, Mom will go to the kitchen with you guys to take a look."

Zhou Chunfeng walked over and held the old lady's arm, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."

Zheng Qingming and his other children also came out of the house, and Zheng Qingming and his cousins ​​went to their rooms.

Zheng Xiaoman took his younger brother and sister to stroll around the village.

Uncle Zhou in the room looked at his brother-in-law and said with a smile: "I really didn't know that acorns are good things before. When mom came back and told us about it, we didn't believe it.

Later, after the acorns were soaked in water for a few days, the bitterness really faded, and our pigs loved eating them.

When we slaughtered pigs at the end of the year, our pigs were the biggest.

We had discussed before that we would catch five more pigs after the New Year, and raise pigs with acorns next year."

Zheng Dashan said: "Brother, you must pick more next year as soon as possible. We have discussed it and plan to tell the villagers about the acorns.

There will definitely be a lot of people going up the mountain to pick acorns, so don’t let them get you nowhere.”

Uncle Zhou Er frowned when he heard this and said, "Why are you suddenly telling the villagers about this? If we don't tell anyone, can't we just keep quiet and make a fortune?"

Zheng Dashan shook his head. "Everyone in the village knows that we picked up a lot of acorns in the fall, and when we slaughtered the pigs at the end of the year, the pigs weighed more than 200 kilograms. Everyone has become suspicious.

Many people have come to ask me about this. I guess even if I don’t tell anyone next year, smart people will definitely find out that there is something wrong with this acorn.

Even if they don't know how to use it for the time being, they will go up the mountain and grab it home first.

The method of washing acorns is not difficult, and it cannot be concealed. Rather than being accused by the villagers of eating alone, it is better for us to speak out about it first."

The Zhou family father and sons looked at each other, and their faces looked a little unhappy.

It was not just Zheng Dashan's village that discovered the abnormality, but many people in their village also came to ask about it.

But they didn't think about it that deeply. They just wanted to keep the news secret so that they could make more money.

Now hearing what Zheng Dashan said, he indeed ignored the existing problems.

They are all natives of this village and have been fellow villagers for decades. If everyone really found out that they had made a fortune without telling the villagers, they would really be ostracized by the whole village.

The most important thing is that the acorns are not theirs, but everyone who sees them can get a share. This is the biggest problem.

If it is unique to their family, then others will just be jealous and won't be able to say anything.

Zheng Dashan thought for a moment and suggested, "Dad, if you are well-off, I suggest you buy some mountain land, and find a place with many acorn trees. That way, the acorns left will be enough for your family."

I also secretly tell you that Xiaoman has discovered a new edible crop in the mountains, and our family will start planting it in the mountains next year.

I discussed it with her mother and decided to share some of the seeds with you."

Old Man Zhou was surprised. "What? Found new food?"

Zheng Dashan nodded, "Yes, the child's mother brought some here today, and you will know in a while. But the number we found last year was not large, and it was only what our two families planted.

So you must keep it a secret, don’t let anyone else find out.”

Old man Zhou's hands were shaking with excitement. Food, that was the life of these people.

If it really is new food that can be eaten, then they would have gotten a great deal.

Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er looked at Zheng Dashan with great excitement. They didn't expect that their brother-in-law had brought them such a big surprise today.

At this moment in the kitchen, Old Mrs. Zhou was holding a sweet potato in her hand, her eyes full of disbelief.

Sun Zhaodi and Wu Chuntao were not much better off; they were both so shocked that they couldn't recover.

Food, this thing is actually food? And it’s food that no one has ever discovered.

No matter how much of this grain that is not registered with the government they grow, it all belongs to them.

Old Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath and suddenly looked at her two daughters-in-law with sharp eyes.

"If either of you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, don't blame our Zhou family for not wanting a daughter-in-law like you."

Sun Zhaodi and Wu Chuntao finally came to their senses and realized that their mother-in-law was afraid that they would tell others when they returned to her parents' home.

Sun Zhaodi would definitely not do such a stupid thing. You can tell from her name that she is not welcome at all in her parents' home.

After getting married, she only went back to her parents' home once in the first year, but after an unpleasant incident, she never went back again.

That mother's home looks the same whether it exists or not.

Wu Chuntao is better than her, but she is not a fool either.

After all, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, so she must give priority to her own family when it comes to such good things.

As for my mother's family, I will wait until I have the chance and discuss it with my mother-in-law to see if I can give them some.

Wu Chuntao also knew that her mother-in-law was mainly pointing at her, so she quickly raised her hand and swore, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely not tell anyone. I promise."

Sun Zhaodi also nodded quickly, "Yes, mother, we definitely wouldn't dare tell anyone."

Only then did Old Mrs. Zhou look away with satisfaction.
