The stir-fried Chinese cabbage is different from the usual stir-fried cabbage at home. The white stems are as milky as butter, and the leaves are as green as emerald. Judging from the color of the dish, it does not make people feel bland and unappetizing.
When Lin Kai picked up the cabbage with chopsticks, he smelled the fragrance from the cabbage. The fragrance evoked the memory of the countryside in his bones.
He didn't know how to describe this taste. He just felt that it suddenly reminded him of the refreshing feeling when he secretly picked a fresh cucumber from his grandma's vegetable garden during a hot summer vacation in his childhood.

He put the cabbage into his mouth, chewed it twice, and felt a faint sweetness.
I thought to myself, it is indeed two hundred yuan per pound of vegetables...
Well-deserved reputation.
This vegetable, this price, it's really worth it.
"This Chinese cabbage is delicious."
Xu Yi and others also know a lot about Fuwang Farm, and they know that these vegetables are all obtained by robbing, and you may not necessarily be able to get them for two hundred yuan a pound.
The chopsticks picked up the cabbage one after another.
Soon.
“Delicious.”
"The Chinese cabbage is really delicious."
"It's so fragrant. How can the stir-fried Chinese cabbage be so delicious? I've never tasted such delicious Chinese cabbage."
Several roommates praised it one after another, and their faces showed the satisfaction and happiness of tasting the delicious food.
"Zijun, I really envy you that you can eat it at home. I only ate it once, and I won't be able to eat it when I go back today." Lin Kai said with eyes filled with envy and regret.
Wang Yanmei was always hospitable, so when she heard what Lin Kai said, she quickly asked to stay: "It's holiday now anyway, so you guys can stay here for a few more days, and Auntie will stew duck for you in the evening."
A few people wanted to be polite and evade a few words, but they were afraid that if they pushed back like this, they wouldn't stay anymore.
Immediately, several people nodded in agreement like chickens pounding garlic.
"Okay, Auntie."
"Thank you, aunt."
"My aunt and uncle have been troubled these days."
Wang Yanmei waved her hand, "No trouble, no trouble. Even the countryside is not much fun. You can stay as long as you want, as long as it's not boring."
"Not boring, not boring." Xu Yi said.
He really wanted to be able to eat such delicious food and wished he could live with the Xu family until he went back to school.
Anyway, his mother should also be very happy. After all, there is one less person to cook and one less person to wash the dishes at home.
Everyone was captivated by the delicious food in front of them. Everyone ate two or three bowls, and Lin Kai even ate four bowls.
The appetite of high school students is amazing.
Although Wang Yanmei cooked enough rice, all the rice was eaten. Lin Kai poured the remaining soup and liquid of the cabbage into the rice and ate it.
Everyone felt a little embarrassed after eating so much.
After lunch, Xu Fuqiang went to work in the fields harvesting sweet potatoes.
Xu Qingzhi said: "Dad, I will go with you to help grandpa collect sweet potatoes. Please wait for me."
"Harvesting sweet potatoes?" Lin Kai muttered.
Xu Yi suggested in a low voice: "How about we go help together?"
Wu Bo: "Okay, I quite like doing farm work. I usually help my family collect dried rice during the National Day."
Zhang Song: "I also agree. We live in Zijun's house. It makes sense not to do some work. We can't just eat from others. With such delicious food, we should do some work."
Lin Kai: "Okay, let's talk to Zijun."
The four of them found Xu Zijun and said they wanted to help harvest sweet potatoes.
Xu Zijun didn't expect that his roommates would offer to help. He guessed that they might be bored and wanted to find something to do, so he said, "Okay, I'll tell my dad."
Xu Zijun told Xu Fuqiang. Xu Fuqiang originally wanted to be polite, but several people were determined to help, so he had no choice but to agree.
Several people put on gloves and tools and set off.
Grandpa came earlier and had already dug some sweet potatoes.
Xu Zijun didn't understand this process either, and they were already in the field, so Xu Fuqiang was not polite and arranged it.
Wu Bo and Lin Kai, who were strong, dug up sweet potatoes, while Zhang Song and Xu Yi smashed the dug out sweet potatoes into the mud, cleaned them and put them into baskets.
The sweet potato leaves were picked up by two siblings, Xu Qingzhi and Xu Zijun. There were also a few pigs at home, so the sweet potato leaves were just in time to be turned into pig food for the pigs, so they would not be wasted.
Xu Fuqiang and Grandpa were digging sweet potatoes on the other side. This hoe didn't have eyes, so they dug quickly to avoid hurting anyone.
There were just a few little kids left to play with, and I didn’t expect them to dig out much.
Lin Kai had never dug sweet potatoes before, and he wanted to show off. When he saw Xu Qingzhi on the side, he rolled up a short sleeve on his arm to expose his muscles. As a result, he used too much force on the first move and the hoe was deeply buried.
It's stuck in the soil and can't be pulled out.
Several people worked hard to fix it. Xu Fuqiang saw it and thought that the little children had little farm work to do, so he came over to teach it.
When digging sweet potatoes, you must first pull the sweet potato leaves in one direction.
The hoe must be used skillfully.
Xu Fuqiang demonstrated it, and after three or four attempts, the sweet potatoes in the soil appeared.
Lin Kai and Wu Bo dug a few more times and found the skills, which made them feel more relaxed than before.
But it’s not much easier, and there’s no way farm work isn’t tiring.
After a while, everyone was sweating profusely.
Lin Kai stopped to rest for a while, with his hoe standing on the ground and his arm holding the hoe. Xu Qingzhi happened to come over and collect the sweet potato leaves.
He whispered: "Sister, you go and have a rest next to us, let's do it."
Xu Zijun, who was immersed in arranging sweet potato leaves, suddenly raised his head and looked over.
Lin Kai was sweating profusely and his face was red.
Xu Zijun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: This boy is not yet dead.
