Chapter 125 Li Xingtang Digging

He ignored them and led Li Xingtang directly to his field, where all that was left were sweet potatoes, cabbages, and radishes.

Once they got to the ground, Yunxi started working immediately. She was quite fast; she first used a kitchen knife to cut the sweet potato vines, and then had Li Xingtang follow behind to dig them up.

Since neither of them is familiar with farm work, either of them can dig. Anyway, there will definitely be a lot of broken pieces that are dug up, as long as they are edible.

In addition, there is a storage space, so even if it gets damaged during digging, it doesn't matter. Just put it in the space and take it out whenever you want to eat it without worrying about it spoiling.

I pulled some sturdy grass from the ridges of the field to bundle the sweet potato vines together. The older ones will be used to feed the chickens and quails, while the younger ones can be picked out and eaten by ourselves. The stalks are also quite delicious when stir-fried.

Li Xingtang started digging behind Yunxi, but at first he really had no experience and often ruined the sweet potatoes. It wasn't until he had almost finished digging them all that he slowly stopped ruining them.

But after all the sweet potatoes were dug up, when I looked back at them and saw the ones I had dug up, I felt a little embarrassed.

She was so embarrassed. "Yunxi, I'm so sorry, I ruined all your sweet potatoes."

Yunxi didn't care at all; if she was making sweet potato starch, it didn't matter if she used mashed sweet potato.

"It's alright, you just lack experience. Next time you dig, you won't damage it."

Li Xingtang knew immediately that Yunxi didn't blame him, and that she even asked him to come and help again next time, giving him another excuse to get closer to Yunxi.

Overjoyed, she said, "Yunxi, don't worry, I definitely won't ruin it next time. When I get back, I'll ask my dad to buy me a hoe, and I'll dig in the yard to plant things whenever I have free time. I'll be fine once I've gained more experience."

Yunxi glanced at Li Xingtang, wanting to see if what he said was true.

I noticed he looked really serious. I wonder what his dad's expression would be if he knew he was digging in the dirt to grow vegetables at home.

"There's no need for that. Why waste time on something like this? You'd be better off reading more books. I hope we can go to high school together again next year."

Yunxi quickly dissuaded him from his idea and tried to distract him with other things. She didn't want his parents to know that she had led him astray by taking him to farm.

Li Xingtang didn't expect Yunxi to be so easy to talk to at this time. Was she already planning to date him when they were in high school?

I was so happy that I could ignore the soreness all over my body from digging for an hour.

"Yunxi, don't worry, I like you a lot, so I will definitely work hard to study in the same high school as you, and I will never let you down."

Yunxi nodded. As long as they didn't focus on farming, it was fine. They filled the baskets with the intact sweet potatoes and carried them home little by little. Working together, they harvested all the sweet potatoes, including the vines, in less than half an hour.

It was already past four in the afternoon, and if Li Xingtang didn't go back soon, it would be unsafe for him to be on the road in the dark.

However, he had done all the work for me for a day, and I felt a little embarrassed to let him go back empty-handed.

The main concern is that his parents might also have objections. It's not that they value that little bit of money, but they're worried that people will think they're treating their son like a beast of burden.

Although it was their son's own choice, they still care about their own child. Even though it was the troublesome Li Xingtang who insisted on coming, bringing some things back would make things easier to explain.

"Li Xingtang, it's getting dark very quickly now, it's almost time to go back. If we don't go back soon, it will be very dangerous at night. I'll go get you some things to take home."

Yunxi didn't understand his answer. While he was washing his hands by the well, she went straight into her house and instantly brought out a pheasant, a rabbit, and a large piece of wild boar meat from her spatial storage.

This large piece of wild boar meat must have weighed several pounds. Anyway, I don't need that kind of thing, so I'll let him take it back for the sake of his kindness.

He handed the things directly to Li Xingtang, saying, "Here you go, you should hurry back, it's getting dark."

Yun looked up at the sky and felt that it would be dark in about half an hour. If she didn't go back soon, it would be really dangerous.

Li Xingtang looked at the things Yunxi handed him and quickly refused, "Yunxi, this kind of meat is hard to buy outside. Don't give it to me. Keep it for yourself and eat more. You are too thin. I'll go back now."

He tried to put his things aside and run out, but luckily Yunxi was fast enough to catch him in one go.

"Just take it when I tell you to. Don't you ever listen to me anymore? If you don't listen, then don't come here again."

Li Xingtang didn't want to take Yunxi's meat, but he also wanted to come back tomorrow, which put him in a dilemma.

Yunxi didn't care whether he was in a difficult position or not. She simply stuffed the things into his arms and pushed him out.

"Alright, I'm only giving it to you because I have plenty of it. Hurry up and go back, it's getting too late, it won't be safe if you don't go back soon."

She pushed him out the door, then stood there, preventing him from coming in, watching him helplessly clutching his things.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it, alright? I've made a promise, I'll take your things today and come help you with chores tomorrow, but you can't give me anything else. This is all voluntary. If you give me anything more, I, I, I..."

Li Xingtang originally wanted to say: I'm about to get angry, but then he suddenly remembered that Yunxi doesn't really like him, so if he gets angry, she probably won't care.

For a moment, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Yunxi quickly tried to ease his awkwardness, "Don't worry, I won't give it to you tomorrow. Even if you wanted it, I wouldn't want it. Okay, go back now."

Li Xingtang knew that it was getting dark, and if he didn't leave soon, he might not be able to get home before nightfall.

Even with his best efforts, without stopping, and running at a certain speed, he was still able to get home before dark.

Although I was still a little reluctant to part, I quickly said goodbye to Yunxi, since I could see her again tomorrow anyway.

Thinking that the journey from home to here was too far, and since I have a bicycle at home, I decided to borrow one.

I don't know if my father would agree to let me leave on my bicycle.
