"It's Jiayi! Why are you here at this time?"

"It's vacation time, so come over and have some fun." Li Jiayi scratched his head.

"Are you here alone?" asked Sixth Grandpa.

"Ok!"

"Ai Min is really reassuring, letting you come here alone."

"I came here by car. Besides, you are here with me, right?"

Old people like to hear good words. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Sixth Grandpa smiled and said, "Hahaha, that's right, with Sixth Grandpa here, you really don't have to worry."

"Come, sit down and have a rest first. It will probably take a while before we go back." Sixth Grandpa patted the ground beside him and said.

"Ok!"

In the countryside, there are not so many rules to follow. He just followed the local customs and sat down on the ground.

"Sixth Grandpa, are you feeling well?"

"It's very good. I can eat and sleep."

This is true. People in rural areas work and their physical fitness is quite good.

The most important thing is to have food to eat. There is no shortage of food in the countryside nowadays. Land is distributed to each household. Although Sixth Grandpa gave the land to others to farm, he is rich!

In addition, others give him food every year, so there is absolutely no problem in having enough to eat, but this is only this year.

"That's good."

The cow was eating grass at this time, and so were the other cows. The other ox carts should be from other villages.

This area is quite remote and there are not many villages, but the population in the villages is quite large.

Yes, there is no village for several kilometers. How can the population of a village be small?

At around two o'clock, the villagers came back one after another, and Li Jiayi basically knew everyone of them.

Calling grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, aunt, and sister-in-law.

Soon Li Jiayi got along well with everyone, and after everyone came back, he started to head back.

There are quite a lot of people today, including him, there are a total of thirteen people, and Sixth Grandpa has another income.

Although everyone in the village basically has the same ancestor, we still have to give money because Sixth Grandpa relies on this for his livelihood.

Although riding a ox cart is faster than walking, it is not much faster. After traveling more than ten kilometers, it takes two hours to get back to the village.

"Sixth Grandpa, here's some money for you." After returning to the village, Li Jiayi took out five cents and handed it over.

"You're only halfway there, give me two points!"

It was five cents for a round trip, and Li Jia only took the return trip, so Sixth Grandpa gave him a discount.

"No, I won't give you money next time I go back."

Hearing him say this, Sixth Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you must remember this."

Grandpa Li Jiayi lives at the very end of the village, at the real foot of the mountain, and lives much higher than other people's houses.

There are three rooms and a small courtyard. There is a small kitchen on the west side of the courtyard. It looks particularly warm.

"Grandma! I'm here." Li Jiayi shouted loudly before reaching the door.

You have to know that this is at the foot of the mountain! The sound can travel far away and even echo.

The gate of the courtyard opened quickly, and a little old lady about 1.5 meters tall came out of the yard.

In this era, the average height of women is 1.51 meters and the average height of men is 1.65 meters.

The old lady is about 1.5 meters tall, which is average.

"Oh, my eldest grandson is here, come and let grandma see him." The old lady pulled him over and held him in her arms.

Li Jiayi always thought that the old lady didn't know that he was not her biological son. In fact, he was not her biological son at all. The old lady had always known it.

But no matter whether it was the old lady or the old man, neither of them treated him as their own grandson, which could be seen from the way they loved Li Jiayi. "Have you eaten?" the old lady asked hurriedly.

Li Jiayi rubbed his stomach and said, "My stomach felt uncomfortable after sitting in the car, so I didn't eat."

"Oh! My eldest grandson hasn't eaten yet!" After saying that, he shouted to the yard, "Old man, go and boil the pot. My eldest grandson hasn't eaten yet."

"I understand." Grandpa Li Laogen agreed.

"Grandpa, no need." Li Jiayi shouted to the courtyard, and then quickly said to grandma: "Grandma, do you have any sweet potatoes at home? I can just roast some sweet potatoes and eat them."

"Sweet potatoes won't do. Just wait, grandma will make you something delicious." After saying that, she pulled him into the yard.

"Grandma, I really don't want to eat anything else but roasted sweet potatoes."

In fact, he didn't want to eat it, but wanted to get some sweet potatoes for seeds.

As for why Li Jiayi didn't think of getting chickens, ducks, geese and pigs first, it's because these things can maximize profits.

But don’t forget, to raise these things, they need food. Without food, they will starve to death!

"You want to eat roasted sweet potatoes? Okay, go get them from the cellar and grandma will roast them for you. She just happened to have some left for growing seedlings."

"Yes!" Li Jiayi agreed and ran quickly to the cellar.

"Grandpa." He shouted as he entered the yard.

Li Laogen was sitting there smoking a pipe. When he heard him shout, he smiled and said, "You are really brave. You came here alone."

"Isn't Sixth Grandpa right there as soon as we get off the car?" Li Jiayi said, scratching his head.

"Okay, my eldest grandson wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes. Let him get the sweet potatoes first, and we'll talk after he gets them."

"Go get some sweet potatoes!" said the old lady.

"Oh!"

Li Jiayi opened the cellar and went down the ladder.

There are not many sweet potatoes in the cellar, they are just kept for growing seedlings, and we try to keep as many as we can.

First put two into the space, then took one and went upstairs.

The reason why only two are stored in the space is because there is no need for so many.

The time in space is thirty times that outside, and soon two sweet potatoes will grow many sweet potato vines.

The sweet potato vines can also be cut into sections and replanted. It is estimated that within a few days, six acres of land can be planted with sweet potatoes.

Yes, for the time being he doesn't plan to plant anything else and is going to plant only sweet potatoes because they have a high yield.

Also, both sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines can be used as feed. Once you have enough feed, you can plant other things.

Of course, the crops that have already been planted still need to be planted again, at least some seeds need to be obtained.

Also, this is only the land for growing crops. There is also a vegetable field! Vegetables can still be grown.

The reason why Li Jiayi came to his grandparents' house was to get some vegetable seeds, which his grandmother had no shortage of.

"Grandma, take out the sweet potatoes." Li Jia handed a handful of sweet potatoes to grandma and said.

"Why only take one? Is that enough for you?" asked grandma.

"That's enough. I'm just filling my stomach. It's almost time for dinner."

"That's right, then you can go and take a rest, and grandma will bake for you."

"Ok!"

Grandpa pointed to a small stool and said, "Come and sit down."

"Okay grandpa."

After sitting down, Li Jiayi took off his schoolbag and started to get things out.
