Chapter 206 A huge test

Li nodded forward, "Yes, the boss taught me some planting techniques, I think we can give it a try."

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Zhang Cuihua began to work in the vegetable garden. They first turned the soil, then evenly spread the potato seeds on the ground and covered it with a thin layer of soil. Li Xiangqian followed the method taught by his boss and carried out each step carefully, his heart full of expectations and hope.

Every morning, Li Xiangqian gets up early and goes to the vegetable field to check on the growth of potatoes. He squats on the ground and carefully observes each seedling, fearing any negligence. Zhang Cuihua often works with him, and the two work well together, with the same expectations in their hearts.

As time went by, the potato seedlings gradually grew stronger. Li Xiangqian felt extremely relieved and satisfied when he saw these seedlings. He knew that this was not only the result of their labor, but also their hope for the future.

One day, when Li Xiangqian was busy in the vegetable garden, he suddenly saw his neighbor, Old Wang, coming over. Old Wang looked at the thriving potato seedlings and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Li Xiangqian, these potatoes are growing really well!"

Li Xiangqian smiled, stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yes, Old Wang, this is the first time we planted potatoes. It's really God's blessing that they can grow like this."

Old Wang nodded, a smile on his face, "You are really thoughtful people. You are so careful in planting everything. If the potatoes are a good harvest, we will have a good life."

Li Xiangqian said modestly: "We still have to wait and see what the final results are, but we will definitely try our best."

Old Wang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are a motivated and promising kid!"

The days passed quickly in the busyness. The stems and leaves of the potatoes became more and more luxuriant, and the fields gradually showed signs of harvest. Li Xiangqian looked forward to the arrival of a good harvest every day.

Finally one day, Li Xiangqian decided to make his first trial digging. He carefully dug the soil with a hoe and saw the plump potatoes exposed. He felt extremely happy and excited. He picked up the potatoes and ran home excitedly, shouting, "Cuihua, we have harvested potatoes!"

Zhang Cuihua ran out of the kitchen when she heard this. Seeing the potatoes in Li Xiangqian's hand, a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes. "Really? Xiangqian, that's great!"

Li Xiangqian nodded, his eyes full of accomplishment, "Yes, although it's just the first trial digging, it looks like the harvest is good."

Zhang Cuihua took the potatoes, looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "These potatoes are growing really well. Our efforts have not been in vain."

Li Xiangqian felt extremely satisfied. "Cuihua, this is just the beginning. When all the crops are harvested, we can sell them in town and increase our income."

Zhang Cuihua nodded, "Yes, move forward, we will definitely live a better life."

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Zhang Cuihua began to harvest potatoes on a large scale. Every day, they were busy and happy, but their hearts were full of hope and joy. Those plump potatoes filled the yard, becoming the best testimony of their efforts.

One evening, Li Xiangqian and Zhang Cuihua were sitting in the yard, looking at the piles of potatoes, feeling extremely satisfied and happy. Li Xiangqian said, "Cuihua, we can take these potatoes to the town to sell tomorrow."

Zhang Cuihua smiled and nodded, "Yes, Xiang Qian, today is a really good day."

Li Xiangqian looked at her and felt very warm in his heart. He knew that they had experienced too many hardships and difficulties along the way, but it was these difficulties that made them cherish the happiness in front of them even more.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian and Zhang Cuihua brought potatoes to the town market. The market was bustling with people, and various hawking sounds could be heard one after another. Li Xiangqian and Zhang Cuihua found a place, put out the potatoes, and started shouting to sell them.

Soon, customers gathered around. Seeing the fresh potatoes, everyone started buying them. Li Xiangqian was busy and happy, and his heart was filled with joy. Although he was exhausted after a day's hard work, he felt extremely satisfied when he saw the potatoes being taken away by customers.

"Xiang Qian, we sold a lot of potatoes today and made a lot of money." Zhang Cuihua said excitedly while counting the money in her hand.

Li Xiangqian also felt extremely gratified, "Yes, Cuihua, these are the results of our hard work."

After returning home, Li Xiangqian and Zhang Cuihua carefully put away the money they earned, and then sat in the yard, enjoying the rare tranquility. Li Xiangqian was filled with emotion, thinking back on the efforts and hard work during this period, he knew that it was all worth it.

Zhang Cuihua looked at him and said softly, "Xiang Qian, today is a good day, we should celebrate it."

Li Xiangqian nodded, "Yes, Cuihua, let's have a good meal today."

So, Zhang Cuihua started to work in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous dinner. Li Xiangqian was taking care of Xiaobao in the yard, his heart full of hope for the future. He knew that although life still had many challenges, as long as they united as one and worked hard, they would surely usher in a better tomorrow.

At dinner time, Li Xiangqian, Zhang Cuihua and Xiaobao sat together and enjoyed this special dinner. Li Xiangqian looked at his wife and son and felt extremely happy. He knew that all these efforts were for them and for this warm home.

"Xiang Qian, today's food is really delicious, you should eat more." Zhang Cuihua smiled and picked up a piece of meat for him.

Li Xiangqian nodded with emotion, "Thank you, Cuihua, you should eat more too."

Xiaobao also said happily: "Dad, Mom, today's meal is so delicious!"

Li Xiangqian smiled and patted his son's head, "Yes, Xiaobao, we should enjoy this dinner."

As the weather gradually turns cooler, winter is approaching. In the courtyard, Li Xiangqian and Zhang Cuihua are busy at work, preparing for the coming winter. Li Xiangqian stands in the courtyard, looking up at the gray clouds in the sky, feeling a little nervous and uneasy.

"Xiang Qian, our firewood pile is not enough. We need to prepare more as winter is coming." Zhang Cuihua walked over with worry in her eyes.

Li Xiangqian nodded, "Yes, we can't be careless in winter. We need to prepare more, otherwise it will be troublesome when the time comes."

He turned and walked into the house, took out a saw and an axe, and prepared to go to the back mountain to chop some firewood. Zhang Cuihua looked at his back, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She knew that winter was a huge test for this family, but she believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties.
