My hometown - Hong'an, is known as the hometown of sweet potatoes. Since we are the hometown of sweet potatoes, it goes without saying that the sweet potatoes here are definitely famous. The sweet potatoes we grow here are large in size, smooth in appearance, and taste good, fragrant and sweet. They are the well-deserved king of sweet potatoes. It is said that when the Red Army passed by here, our older generation even took out roasted sweet potatoes to entertain them!
I remember that in the autumn when I was seven years old, my grandma and I took hoes and baskets and rode a tricycle to dig sweet potatoes in the fields. When I got to the field, a piece of green appeared in front of me. I was a little confused: Where are the sweet potatoes? Grandma first cut off the sweet potato seedlings and then picked them aside with a stick. After a while, a small piece of bare land appeared in front of my eyes. I was confused again: Why haven't I seen the sweet potatoes yet? Grandma looked at me and said, "Why are you so dazed? Come and dig it!" "Are the sweet potatoes in there?" "You'll know after you dig it." Grandma said with a smile. So, I started digging.
I raised the hoe high and chopped hard into the soil. I felt like I had hit something, so I dug it up slowly with a small shovel. When I dug it out, I saw that it was me who had hit it hard. It was so big that the hoe penetrated into the flesh of the sweet potato. Grandma looked at the sweet potatoes and said, "Xiao Lin is so awesome. The sweet potatoes he dug out are alive." "Where are they alive? Grandma is telling lies." I said in confusion. "It's not alive, why is Sweet Potato grinning?" At this time, I suddenly realized, and I scratched my scalp in embarrassment. Grandma told me: "Don't dig too hard when digging sweet potatoes, otherwise you will hurt the sweet potatoes." I listened to grandma's words, I was much more careful, and I also had some tips. I first dug a thin layer of soil on top with a hoe, and saw the sweet potatoes exposed. After finishing my work, I dug slowly with a small shovel. After a while, a fat baby wearing a red coat appeared in front of me. I looked at the sweet potatoes I dug out, and I smiled happily. In this way, my grandma and I dug more and more vigorously. We dug two big baskets! We returned home with a happy mood. In the evening, grandma baked a lot of sweet potatoes for me. I thought: This time I, the greedy little cat, will be able to satisfy my greed. So I ate hungrily and didn't stop until my belly was bulging.
Sweet potatoes are so delicious, I’m drooling again now! I hope the children will also come to my house as guests, and I will let you taste the sweet potatoes we have here.
