Five hundred and twentieth chapters harvest autumn vegetables
Xu Haiyuan entered school later than his younger brothers and sisters because they didn't get first place in the class and the teacher normally gave students homework.
The fourth grade is naturally different from the second grade. During the five-day holiday, the teacher left a lot of homework for the children.
"What are you doing? Picking vegetables?"
As soon as Xu Haiyuan entered the door, he saw his grandma leading his younger brothers and sisters to work in the vegetable garden, and asked quickly.
"My grandma said that the weather may change and the temperature will drop, so we need to pick these vegetables and put them home to avoid being damaged by frost and inedible."
Xu Jinping replied while picking peppers.
"Oh, then I'm here to help too. Wait a minute and I'll change out of my clothes."
When Xu Haiyuan heard this, he stopped going to his master's place to study. He changed his clothes first and quickly helped pick vegetables.
Zhou Guilan led the children to pick beans, cucumbers and peppers in the front yard, while Xu Chenghou was digging celery roots and Japanese ginger in the back garden.
The devil's ginger is also called frost-reporting flower. It is said that frost will fall on the devil's ginger after blooming for eighteen days.
The underground tubers of Guizijing and the pickled vegetables are delicious and especially crispy.
Farmyards are like this every autumn, and all kinds of edible things are brought home.
Pickle everything that needs to be pickled and save it for winter and spring to eat slowly.
The concert ended at around ten o'clock in the morning, and the children worked in the vegetable garden for an hour.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Guilan hurried back to the house to cook, while Xu Haiyuan and others continued working.
When Zhou Guilan finished cooking and called the children to eat, all the eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, etc. in the vegetable garden were picked.
One basket after another was sent to the warehouse for storage, and they were slowly put away. What should be marinated was marinated, what should be dried was dried, and the rest was kept for eating in the next few days.
After lunch, Xu Haiyuan and others went back to their homes to do some work.
Xu Shiyan's house has a large place and there are more vegetables in the vegetable garden.
In addition to vegetables, there are also Xu Jinping’s favorite orphans, grapes, sand fruits, etc. It’s best not to let the frost hit them.
The orphan girl couldn't eat it after being hit by frost. The grapes were better, but after being hit by frost, they didn't taste right.
Xu Shiyan's family grows several kinds of sand fruits, including crabapples that are edible in summer, abacus beads and small apples that are only delicious in autumn.
These must be picked off, otherwise they will freeze and become unpalatable.
There are so many things to keep the children busy for a while.
It became cloudier in the afternoon, and before I could pack up my things and go home, it started to rain.
"Hey, you, let's hurry up, it's time to give birth later."
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan both sped up, and the children also hurriedly carried the dishes back.
They were packing up here, but after a while, the rain started to fall heavily, and everyone had to run back inside.
"Yes, if it rains today, it will be sunny tomorrow, and there will be frost the day after tomorrow.
You guys have five days off, just in time for the weather, so you can’t do anything.”
Zhou Guilan entered the room, patted her clothes a few times, and said.
"Nai, we don't do anything. We just accompany Nai at home to pickle and pickle vegetables."
Xu Jinping's clever mouth can fool anyone into getting lost.
"Okay, okay, then let's stay at home and pack the pickles tomorrow." Zhou Guilan really smiled happily.
After working for a long time, I finally got everything I needed to pick.
It was raining outside and I couldn't do anything else, so I just picked the red peppers, threaded part of them with thread, and left them to dry in the sun.
Xu Jinping also found some needle and thread and threaded some strings on the orphan girl.
Of course, it is the skin worn outside the orphan girl's body. When worn like this, the skin will not be rotten and it can be eaten for a while.
In the evening, Zhou Guilan stewed potatoes with eggplant twists and ate them.
The tender eggplants are not big, just bigger than eggs. They can be split into two pieces. When stewed with meat, they taste great.
The children had been busy for a long time and didn't miss the meal in the evening. They thought the stewed tender eggplant was delicious.
The rain didn't last long, and it stopped in the evening. The temperature outside suddenly dropped, and it was freezing cold.
When Yang Junxian came to pick up Yang Haoyu in the evening, Zhou Guilan was afraid that the child would be cold, so she specially found a thick coat to wrap around the child.
"If you two are too busy to take care of the child, it would be the same if you let him live here."
Zhou Guilan now treats Yang Haoyu as if she were her own grandson.
Yang Junxian is now the secretary of Dongcan Village. He is very busy at this time of autumn. The village has to collect tasks and calculate various expenses and so on.
Moreover, his family also grows Bangchui and needs ginseng for making goods. They have been extremely busy this autumn and the couple really can't take care of their children.
Yang Junxian's father fell ill the year before last, and his third sister took him to the city to raise him while he was away from home.
Some time ago, Yang Junxian's mother also went to the city, and now no one cared about Yang Haoyu.
So Yang Haoyu didn't go to class in the afternoon and didn't go home. He stayed at Xu's house.
"Thank you, ma'am. Oh, I've been really busy this autumn.
If it weren't for my aunt to help take care of our Xiaoyu, I don't know what this child would be like in the fall."

Yang Junxian had no choice but to express his gratitude to Zhou Guilan.
"Ever since my child went to school, I have only been on my aunt's side. Oh my, I don't even know how to thank my aunt and uncle."
"Look at you, just say those foreign words, isn't Xiaoyu the son of Shiyan and his wife?
It's just like your own child." Zhou Guilan laughed.
Yang Junxian wrapped his son in a thick coat, then carried his son onto his bicycle, and then took his son home on his bicycle.
Zhou Guilan watched Yang Junxian and his son leave, turned back and entered the house, and began to chant.
"Oh, everyone is so busy that they don't care about anything.
The same goes for the two of us, they haven’t come back yet.”
Xu Shiyan was still busy processing the goods at the venue, while Su Anying was leading people to select grades and pack them into boxes.
I just took an order for 2,500 kilograms, and in the past two days, two more customers called me to place orders.
So in the past few days, Su Anying took Huang Shengli and his wife to go to the market to grab goods, and then came back to select grades and pack them. They were very busy every day until late.
"What's not hard about making money? It's better to be busy, because being busy means you're making money.
There's nothing we can do, just take care of the child." Xu Chenghou was open-minded.
The son and daughter-in-law have opened such a big stall now, and they can't help with anything else. Taking good care of the children is better than anything else.
"Yeah, let's not think about anything and just take good care of the children.
That day, the third child even asked me if I wanted to open a store or something in the two remaining houses in the north.
I told him that he should forget it because he was too busy.
We have food and drink now, so what are we doing?"
Zhou Guilan nodded. When you get older, you should stop thinking about being competitive and take good care of your grandchildren.
"Yes, you are right to think so. We are already this age, why are we still doing this?
It’s good to take good care of a few children until they grow up.
My son and daughter-in-law are all busy outside, so we will cook and take care of the house so that they can have a warm meal when they come home, which is good."
Xu Chenghou has no other thoughts now. As long as his son and grandson are good, that is better than anything else.
While the old couple were talking, Zhou Guilan put the food into the pot, then scooped out hot water and asked the children to wash their feet.
Before eight o'clock, the children were all sleepy, so they were coaxed to sleep whenever they needed to.
It was after nine o'clock when Xu Shiyan and Su Anying entered the house. Neither of them had eaten dinner. They were so hungry that they ate and rested.
