Bags of freshly baked sweet potatoes fill the ridges of the fields, indicating that the villagers' lives are as sweet as potatoes. Farmers are busy sorting and packing the freshly unearthed sweet potatoes, loading them into trucks, and the fields are full of harvest joy. "We have been harvesting sweet potatoes in Wanqiao for many years, and we used to buy them in Huyan Village, but due to the relatively good sales volume, the supply exceeded demand, and now we are buying them together in Zhentou Village."
