They’ve already covered the ground. He squatted down, separating a cluster, these sweet potatoes were already as thick as a child’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This patch of sweet potatoes, if not a bumper harvest, will definitely not yield less than previous years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, very good, you two are very capable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Feng Baoshan’s approval, even if others had opinions, they would just keep them to themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Feng, thank you for your praise. We’re just doing what we should be doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also squatted down to look at the sweet potatoes Feng Baoshan had just observed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more resourceful ones smiled, realizing that in such times, having grain here as others faced hunger, only a fool would be at odds with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two kids doing way better than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan noticed the change in these people, smirking internally, understanding the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Tan, when are your potatoes expected to be ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m thinking they’ll be ready by October.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll find some people to come over and help you then,\" said Feng Baoshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Director Feng.\" Su Yuanyuan certainly wouldn’t refuse, even if someone secretly took a bit, it’s okay, as this year was really tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Baoshan waved his hand, \"When it’s time for harvest, inform Group Leader Ma, and someone will be sent over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll also come to help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining people said so as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan looked at Feng Baoshan with difficulty. If too many people came, how much labor would they need to be paid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Su Yuanyuan felt it wouldn’t be too much, but still, it had to be done this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t want wages, just sell us some grain after you’ve completed your tasks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan pretended to relax, \"That’s for sure. Whatever’s left after our needs, we’ll sell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a promise, everyone felt reassured. Cultivating for a whole year only to have to buy grain to eat was really discouraging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending off these twelve people, Su Yuanyuan didn’t return to the field but went back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Yuanyuan, are we really going to sell them all our grain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, all of it. I’m thinking of starting the harvest in mid-September, sell everything here, and then head abroad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially considering selling at a high price, but conscience couldn’t bear it, being a disaster year, making money now wouldn’t feel right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s better to sell it all, which also makes for an easier conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting listened to everything Su Yuanyuan said. He had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, we need to buy more gunny bags and burlap sacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we really get grain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We probably can. I’ve heard that it’s mechanized planting over there, and at harvest time, they can’t gather it all. It’ll be just the two of us then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we’re scavenging?\" Tan Shaoting said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan nodded, \"Yes, we’re just going to scavenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, they both cultivated, Tan Shaoting told Su Yuanyuan that they could use a spell, just a wave of the hand would let them gather the grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Su Yuanyuan was motivated to cultivate again. The next day, they drove off. First to the nearest town to buy gunny bags, then to the city, after all, being well-prepared is never wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan hadn’t been out for several months. The town hadn’t changed much visibly, but actually, it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing groups of young people, Su Yuanyuan felt a little apprehensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bought over five hundred bags, with many tickets in hand, they bought all they could. Even if not needed now, they’d come in handy someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned at night under cover of darkness. Tan Shaoting wanted to return the next day, but Su Yuanyuan insisted on going back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t feel safe outside, I must return home, definitely go back home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting nodded, agreeing to return. They ate buns and drank soy milk on the cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you lie down and rest a bit?\" Tan Shaoting had placed a quilt on the cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll sleep then. Wake me when we get home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobbing along, they reached home a bit past four in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting wasn’t tired even without sleeping at night. But with this girl sleeping so soundly beside him, he felt the urge to sleep too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan felt someone touching her, and opened her eyes alertly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to carry you inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan sat up, \"No need, I can do it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the sky was already starting to brighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She no longer felt sleepy and began tidying up the vegetables in the courtyard, organizing what needed to be stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting also didn’t go to sleep, he returned to his courtyard, where there were also vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was almost seven o’clock, Tan Shaoting came back to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning, Su Yuanyuan cooked porridge and stir-fried egg with eggplant strips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they finished eating, they heard some noise outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting was clearing the table, so Su Yuanyuan went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, is there something I can help you with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple outside had come with a donkey cart, carrying six water buckets on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little girl, we’re in the same group as you. My husband’s name is Zhu Changlin. I’m here to see if we can get a few buckets of water from your place. Our water well has dried up, and we have no water to drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan smiled, \"Sure, Auntie, please come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Tan Shaoting also came out, \"Aunt Zhu, you’ve come to fetch water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Xiao Tan, are you two really together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuanyuan felt something was off with this line of questioning. Then she heard Tan Shaoting’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Zhu, we’re just living together to make things easier than being alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s nice to have someone with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, I’ll pump the water now, but our water here has also reduced a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Chunxiang entered their courtyard, goodness, the place was full of vegetables, looking lush and green, much better than theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was not something one could envy, her father said it was because they were close to a water pit, so their ground had more moisture. It’s normal for their vegetables and crops to grow well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, she hadn’t planned to come here, but after visiting several homes that also said they were out of water, she had no choice but to come here.\u003C\u002Fp>",1213,"2026-06-06T00:15:23.042Z",1,"novelbin.me","1567b8c07a0fe815e01fea1ba30e02309ddd5868ec656a78c13458677778de28","reborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-chapter-124","reborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-chapter-122",1428,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-cover.jpg"]
