"Did the sweet potatoes that were given to the Bai family squeeze out from between your teeth?" Zhou Ying asked again.

Bai Shi was taken aback for a moment, opened his mouth and didn't know how to reply for a moment.

She was upset, but she was not stupid.

After listening to her analysis, she knew that she was thinking too much.

Although the family's population was allocated to their family, they did not take their rations. To put it bluntly, they did not owe them anything.

Instead, the rations I gave to my natal family were squeezed out bit by bit from my family's mouths.

Zhou Ying knew that she was going the other way, so she didn't try to persuade her any more, but asked, "By the way, Auntie, did you dig kudzu roots this year?"

When Bai Shi heard her change the subject, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I think so, but the mountains have been searched several times by those refugees, and they have dug them up long ago, so we can only wait for the next year."

"That's right, if the pavilion chief didn't intervene, the mountain would have been bald." Zhou Ying nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Bai Shi got up and went home after finishing putting the soles of the shoes in his hand.

When he entered the door, he saw the village chief drying sweet potatoes in the yard, and immediately put the soles of his shoes aside and said, "Father, I'll do this matter. If you have time, you should teach Tieniu how to read."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she no longer drooped her face: "It's okay, it's cold now, so don't turn over too often."

As for why she suddenly figured it out, he didn't bother to ask, as long as the family was harmonious and there were no conflicts.

As a result, as soon as he stood up, he saw a half-grown boy running in and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, hurry over and have a look, our family is fighting."

"You are Zhang Laosan's grandson, please tell me why your family is fighting." The village chief looked at him and said.

"My grandfather wants to bring 800 catties of sweet potatoes to my aunt's house, but my mother disagrees, and if he wants to send them, the family will be separated."

"You bastard, no matter how much you miss your aunt, you can't care about your family's life and death." The village chief said to him in a daze, "But I may not be able to suppress your grandpa on this matter alone. Go there first, and you hurry to find your grandfather."

"Okay, then you can hurry up." After the boy finished speaking, he turned and ran away.

Seeing this, the village chief simply tidied up his clothes before going out with his hands behind his back.

After listening to their conversation, Mrs. Bai felt mixed feelings in his heart. It seemed that he was really narrow-minded before.

Before, my father-in-law was able to give two hundred catties of sweet potatoes to my mother's family, which was really not bad.

Although nothing major happened in the village, there were still many conflicts because of helping relatives.

However, Zhou Ying passed away after listening to it, and didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, shopkeeper Liu found out about the First Prince's group through the people who received the sweet potatoes.

But he didn't alarm anyone, but let people stare carefully, to see what their plans were.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Qiuniang's son, Dongdong, was full moon. Zhou Ying took two catties of white cotton, a piece of blue muslin fabric, and gave it to Qiuniang, just in time to make a small cotton coat for the child.

The next step is to collect the remaining sweet potatoes. This time, Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying went together.

After the harvest was over, the rations of the people in the village were left out, and the others dug a cellar, buried them in sand, and covered them with a layer of wheat straw.

Two nights later, Gu Chengye and Gu Chengzhi brought over a cart full of things.

There were 300 catties of sweet potatoes, 200 catties of radishes, and 200 catties of cabbage each, as well as four or five big winter melons, and several pumpkins.
