    ?

    "Big!" The first feeling is that this sweet potato is really big, and the length is long enough. Under the gap more than ten centimeters long, there are all sweet potatoes. This super-large sweet potato is about to break through the ground!  Fortunately, I was caught in time, amazing!  An Nai was ecstatic in her heart, afraid that she would cry out if she got agitated.  This will be exposed in advance, which is not in line with my low-key personality.

    Hahaha, I really feel that God still cares for me, and it really made me find a super big sweet potato.  I squatted down and gently pushed aside the sweet potato leaves around. In order not to block my view, I tore some of the surrounding sweet potato vines and threw them aside.  I was going to dig sweet potatoes, and these vines also had to be cut off. I just let them rest in advance, well, I comforted myself.

    I rubbed my trembling hands vigorously, and picked up the sickle. At this time, I was not in a hurry to dig, for fear of hurting the sweet potatoes. This would not be perfect, and I would not allow it to happen.  After careful study, it was decided to use the most time-consuming but safest conservative solution for mining.

    Turn over the sickle, avoid the sharp tip, touch the soil with the back of the sickle, and gently push the soil to both sides.  The soil in an area the size of a washbasin was excavated layer by layer.

    Put down the sickle, dig the soil with both hands instead, and try to push the soft soil out to free up this area.  After planing off the soft part, the skin of the sweet potato has been partially exposed, but the overall outline has not yet been fully displayed.

    Picking up the sickle again, this time using the tip of the knife to operate it, took a deep breath, and his eyes became more focused.  Carefully staring at the edge of the exposed sweet potato skin and soil, slowly touch the tip of the knife to the edge of the soil, not daring to make big movements for fear of hurting the sweet potato skin.

    I don¡¯t know if you have seen special forces demining. Although my current movements are not so professional, I am sure that this is the best I can do at this stage, focusing on reducing the frequency of breathing as much as possible.

    One cut, two cuts, three cuts, steady cutting, steady cutting, the mud is flying, and the exposed area of ??sweet potatoes is getting bigger and bigger, which makes me even more excited.  The excavated soil was piled up around, gradually forming a small hill.

    The exposed sweet potato skin is already the size of a fist, which also shows the extraordinary size of the sweet potato.  I used my hands again to clean up the dirt accumulated inside, and the tip of the knife continued to work, gently pushing away the layers of soil, and carefully digging out the soil under the sweet potatoes. At this time, I have forgotten the passage of time.  Block out the surrounding sounds.

    Digging, digging, digging, repeating the movements back and forth, while maintaining a high degree of concentration, at this moment, my back is gradually sweating, and my clothes are wet.  There were also beads of sweat on his forehead, he simply wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, stared down at the sweet potato in front of him, and grinned.

    I quietly looked up at my grandparents, and found that no one around me noticed me at the moment.  So I continued my sweet potato digging with peace of mind.

    After more than a dozen times of repeated digging work, the soil around me has covered the sweet potato leaves, and the goal of this time has finally been officially placed in front of me.  A sweet potato the size of a grapefruit!  Hahaha, this is amazing!

    Along the edge of the sweet potato, dig a gap about one finger wide, cut off the stem of the sweet potato, put down the sickle, hold the sweet potato with both hands, and pull it out hard. Well, the sweet potato has not been dug out, and it is still motionless!

    It seems that the depth of the side gap is not dug enough, continue!  Go on!  I expanded the surrounding gap to the width of three fingers, and dug down to a depth of about 5 cm. At this time, I did not pull it out directly.

    Standing up, bending down, pushing the dug out soil aside, draining the soil on the pants, lying down again, taking a deep breath, grabbing the sweet potato's fat body, and pulling it upwards, the sweet potato is getting closer to me bit by bit,  I immediately put all my strength into my hands, gritted my teeth, and frowned.

    "Ka~!" With the sound of the sweet potato root breaking off, the whole sweet potato was finally pulled up!  Due to too much force, I fell back and fell in the middle of the sweet potato leaves. When I stood up sideways, I didn't have time to clean up the mud on my body. I hugged the spoils of this time with both hands and observed it carefully. It was a sweet potato the size of a grapefruit.  , was dug by me!

    Words such as the strongest in history and the most powerful in the whole village suddenly lingered in his mind.  I happily picked up the sweet potato, ran to grandma, and shouted as I ran: "Grandma, look! It's a big sweet potato! It's too big."  !"

    "Wow, such a big sweet potato, Ren Tao is really amazing," Yao father and Yao Nai said.  "It's so big. It's bigger than what we dug. I haven't dug such a big one before."

    "Hey, this red sweet potato Anyi seems to be the biggest one this year," grandma also said happily.

    "Well, that's right, I found it at the end near the edge of the field and dug a lot."Oh"

    "Hey, this sweet potato is big, at least 2 catties." Unprecedented, grandpa came over happily to see the big sweet potato.

    "Hahaha, I started to see a very big crack. It took me a long time to dig it out. It turned out to be a big sweet potato. I have never dug such a big one before," I said proudly.

    "Yeah, great, you should eat this red sweet potato when you take it back. When the time comes, I will cook it for you. You put down the red sweet potato first, and then go and pick up the sickle for me. I will forget it later, and I will be at ease when I lose the sickle." Grandma pointed  Refers to the tail of dry land.

    "Okay!" I hugged the sweet potato and looked at it more than ten times before reluctantly putting it on the top of the sweet potato pile.  Even in a pile of sweet potatoes, it is the most unique one, not only because it is the largest and most beautiful, but also happened to be found in such a large place and successfully dug out, it is my strength to become a professional looking for big sweet potatoes  proof, status symbol.  Come on, give me applause~!

    Find grandma's sickle, put it aside first, fill the pit with the dug out soil, and clean up the soil pressed on the sweet potato vines, so as not to press the sweet potato vines, otherwise the piglets at home will have to eat again.  Eat a few less.

    Backfilling the soil is to prevent the wind from blowing the soil away, which is cheaper for others.  After all, this is the mud that grew super-large sweet potatoes, so precious!

    After getting back the sickle, I helped my grandma pick up all the sweet potatoes and put them in the bag. My grandparents packed up the farm tools and carried the sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines on my back. I took the sickle and prepared to go home.

    ?Because I came out relatively late, and I forgot the time while digging sweet potatoes, it is now noon!  Well, it's time to go home and make lunch.  Yao Dad and Yao Nai also walked to the house with us.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
