Ruanlin Family was looking for a small hoe in the clutter behind the house.
After finding it, she instructed Xiu Xi, "Xiaoxi, when you go to the front mountain later, be careful and make sure to come back before dark, okay?"
Even though Xiu Xi's skills were beyond question, Ruanlin Family always reminded him every time.
Xiu Xi nodded, catching a glimpse of some sweet potatoes in a corner of the main room. They varied in size, some very large and some very small, and most of them were broken except for one that was just the right size and completely intact.
He thought of how much Ruan Jiaojiao loved eating them, and figured it would be perfectly roasted by the time they returned home in the evening.
He walked over, picked up the good sweet potato, went to the brazier, used tongs to dig a small hole in the charcoal, and placed the sweet potato inside. After burying it, he covered it with charcoal again.
