    End of August

    Qiao Mu received royalties from the People¡¯s Daily.

    The amount of the manuscript fee was not much, five yuan in total, but Qiao Mu still read the invitation letter in the reply letter back and forth many times, smiling fondly.

    Contributing to the People's Daily and contributing to other newspapers and periodicals are two completely different concepts. They can be described as worlds apart. Qiao Mu has experienced many worlds in the past, and has also experienced many underdeveloped eras. He has even written articles.  But I have never written to the official media.

    It¡¯s hard to avoid being a little excited for the first time.

    This represents a kind of recognition, and it also means that her article can be seen by some leaders. In the future, maybe through some subtle descriptions in the article, the future can be slightly changed.

    Thinking of this, Qiao Mu felt a sense of responsibility in her heart and wanted to do more, so she immediately started writing the manuscript again excitedly. Even the local literature she used to find her son was temporarily put aside and she focused on the editorial first.

    At this time, Qiao Mu and the old village chief couple secretly planted sweet potatoes on the mountain. It was time to harvest. In order to prevent others from discovering and causing trouble, they also went to the mountain to dig sweet potatoes in secret this time.  It is safe to dig alone if there are few people.

    In the mountain canyon, Qiao Fuhua was leading a dozen young and strong men to dig sweet potatoes here. However, as they were digging, everyone felt that something was wrong. It was not that they found someone following them, but it was mainly because everyone suddenly  They felt that the size and quantity of the sweet potatoes dug out were more than those they had grown before, and they were even bigger.

    "Old village chief, is there something wrong with this sweet potato? I feel like this sweet potato is not only super big, but also has a lot of knots underneath!

    It is estimated that there are five or six kilograms of sweet potatoes under each plant. This is too exaggerated. Is the broadcast from the commune right? Is there really a grain yield of ten thousand kilograms per mu in the world?  "

    Qiao Tiehua pulled out a whole sweet potato, but it felt strange when he picked it up. He had been a butcher for many years, and although he hadn't sold meat for nearly ten years, he still had good skills, and you could tell by just picking it up.  The approximate weight of an object is never more than one penny.

    "I don't know either. Grandma Qiao got these sweet potato seedlings, but the variety of these sweet potatoes is really good. Not only are they big in size, they are also plentiful. I dug two and tasted them yesterday. They taste better than the ones we grew before."  Those sweet potatoes are much sweeter.

    Don¡¯t worry about it. Isn¡¯t it a good thing to have more sweet potatoes down there?  Anyway, we planted this secretly, and we don¡¯t have to pay for the public grain. You¡¯d better hurry up and dig it out. I¡¯ll take the time to ask Mrs. Qiao what¡¯s going on later tonight.  "

    Qiao Fuhua had dug one yesterday to see if he could harvest it. He had already been pleasantly surprised and happy, so he was naturally calm at this time and still had the heart to urge everyone.

    Qiao Tiehua thought about it. Anyway, these sweet potatoes will be distributed to every household. I want to know if the yield is really high. At worst, I can save some sweet potatoes and plant them next year. But if the yield is so high every year, then in the future,  Maybe I won¡¯t have to go hungry anymore.

    Thinking of this, I became excited and became more energetic when working. The enthusiasm was no less than the enthusiasm when the land was first divided.

    After digging for a whole day, a dozen of them actually dug up ten acres of sweet potatoes. They dug out no less than 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. It would be impossible for a dozen of them to transport so many sweet potatoes down the mountain in a short time.  Yes, a person can only carry a hundred kilograms if he is exhausted.

    So, when the sun was about to set that afternoon, but the sky was still a little brighter, the old village chief hurried down the mountain and asked everyone to go to the mountain to help carry the sweet potatoes down.

    Anyway, the sky is getting dark now, and no one will go to their mountain or their village at night, so the old village chief is not polite at all when he calls people, and almost everyone who can move will go.  We must seize the time and try our best to transport all the sweet potatoes back before it gets completely dark, otherwise it will be difficult to go down the mountain after dark.

    It must be quite slow for a dozen people to transport 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, but when hundreds of people transport it together, the speed becomes faster. In just two trips back and forth, all the sweet potatoes were transported to the original grain depot in the village.  .

    In the grain depot, although everyone is hungry and tired now, looking at the large pile of sweet potatoes in the grain depot, everyone's face is still full of smiles and joy. Qiao Fuhua sees everyone so happy,  Considering that many people may have already run out of food, I didn¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time and immediately stood up and said:

    "I won't talk nonsense anymore. I will share these sweet potatoes with you now."Okay, Uncle Qiao, you and Dazhu Ergou and the others are helping everyone weigh sweet potatoes. There are a hundred households in our village, totaling 1,072 people. Each of the adult men will be divided into 100 kilograms first, and the elderly and women will be divided.  It is divided into 80 jins, and children under ten years old are divided into 60 jins. In addition, those who go up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes today are divided into 20 jins more, and those who carry sweet potatoes down the mountain are also divided into 10 jins. Do you have any opinions?  "

    "No objection, no objection. Old village chief, just hurry up and divide the sweet potatoes. I haven't eaten any real food in almost half a month."

    "Yes, village chief, break it up quickly!"

    "Yes, village chief, we have no objection!"

    The old village chief¡¯s division was already quite fair, and everyone was indeed very hungry now. They all wanted to share some sweet potatoes and go back to eat quickly. The feeling of being hungry was really uncomfortable.

    ¡°Okay then, let¡¯s start weighing!¡±

    Qiao Fuhua saw that everyone really had no objections, so he immediately asked Uncle Qiao next to him to start dividing the grain. Everyone in the village knew exactly how many people there were in each household, so naturally there was no such thing as false claiming, and the number of kilograms should be divided.  How many pounds.

    After the distribution was completed and everyone had divided as much as they should, there were still more than two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes left in the warehouse. Zhang Fuhua looked around and found that Qiao Mu had not come, so he immediately said:

    "There are more than two hundred kilograms left, but Mrs. Qiao didn't come here today. The sweet potato seedlings on the mountain were provided by Mrs. Qiao. I don't know how much it cost and how many favors were spent, so these two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes were given to Qiao.  Grandma, please don't have any objections. This is what Grandma Qiao deserves.

    I still feel that the gift is too little!

    ¡°After all, if it weren¡¯t for Mrs. Qiao, we guys wouldn¡¯t be able to get a share at all. In the next few days, we¡¯ll have to go digging in the mountains. Then every time we share the leftovers, we¡¯ll give it to Mrs. Qiao!

    Okay, if you have no objection, go back!

    "You have to keep your mouth shut. If anyone dares to leak the news, he will be exterminated immediately!"  "

    This time, everyone shared sweet potatoes of all ages. Even the family with the smallest group shared about two hundred kilograms. In addition, they all knew where these sweet potatoes came from, so naturally they would not  have opinions.

    After everyone said that they had no objections and that it should be done, they hurriedly picked up their sweet potatoes and went home to eat sweet potatoes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
