After worshiping the moon, everyone enjoyed the moon while drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard.

The moon on August 15th is bright and round, clear and transparent. The bright white moonlight lightly sprinkles on the earth, covering everything like light sand.

The second day of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Deng Qingling originally wanted to go back to her mother's home, but the weather was bad and it was drizzling.

Although the rain was not heavy, the mountain road was difficult to travel on.

After several days of continuous rain, it was time for the autumn harvest.

During the autumn harvest, first pick the peanuts, then cut the soybeans, and finally dig the sweet potatoes.

During the autumn harvest, the school was on holiday for the busy farming season. Guo Youxing, Liang Xueying, Guo Yu and Guo Jianjun all went to work, while Deng Qingling stayed at home to take care of the children, feed the chickens, cook and do other housework.

Early in the morning, Liang Xueying got up at around four o'clock.

The place where I work today is not far from home, and it takes about half an hour to walk there.

Liang Xueying got up early because she thought it would be inconvenient for her daughter-in-law to wash clothes while she was taking care of the children.

First, make breakfast on a high fire, then simmer multi-grain rice over a low fire, and then do the laundry.

After washing the clothes, the rice was just right, so I fried some sweet potato leaves and made some loofah and egg soup.

While Liang Xueying was frying sweet potato leaves, Guo Youxing and the others had already gotten up and washed up.

After breakfast, Liang Xueying and the others went to work.

Deng Qingling took Haohao to sleep until after nine o'clock before getting up and having breakfast.

After breakfast, Deng Qingling boiled water to cook corn soup. After the corn soup was cooked, she carried Haohao on her back to hang clothes.

Then prepare lunch, cook some corn and multi-grain rice, slice the bacon, put it on a plate and steam it on the corn and multi-grain rice, and then stir-fry some beans.

Find a clay pot, fill it two-thirds with corn soup, use a small bowl to put the rice, and put the vegetables in a bowl.

Take two bamboo baskets, one for the corn soup and the other for the rice and vegetable bowls and chopsticks, and cover them both with a small dustpan.

Deng Qingling took Haohao to her uncle's house to be looked after by her grandmother, while she carried a bamboo basket to deliver food to everyone.

Deng Qingling walked to the edge of the mountain and saw that the valley was full of people. She had no idea where Guo Yu and the others were. She stood there and looked for several minutes.

Guo Jianjun was thirsty and drinking water when he saw someone standing by the mountain. She seemed to be his sister-in-law. He waved his hands and shouted, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we are here."

Deng Qingling realized they were in the middle of the valley and strode over. "Here they come!"

As he passed by the villagers, the aroma of cured meat wafted from the bamboo baskets, making the villagers who were eating at home feel that their own food was no longer as delicious. "You have to compare and find the best. The food at the village chief's house is really good."

"Dad, Mom is here to eat," Deng Qingling said as she opened the lid and put the rice in the bowl.

"Here we come." Liang Xueying and the others rubbed the mud off their hands with peanut leaves.

Deng Qingling distributed the rice and chopsticks to them.

"Sister-in-law, the food you cook is delicious," said Guo Jianjun after taking a bite of beans.

Deng Qingling said: "If it tastes good, eat more."

Bacon tastes good no matter how you cook it, and green beans are of course delicious when fried with lard!

When the wind blew, the nearby villagers smelled the aroma of bacon and couldn't help swallowing.

Who's eating bacon? It smells so good!

Deng Qingling said: "There is still corn soup in the earthenware pot. If you don't finish it, cover it and you can eat it when you are thirsty or hungry."

Deng Qingling put a little sugar in the corn soup to give them some sugar.

After they have eaten their fill, they clean up the dishes and prepare to go home.

"Sister-in-law, can we still eat meat tonight?" Guo Jianjun asked.

Without waiting for Deng Qingling to speak.

"What the hell are you thinking about? You want to eat meat for every meal. Why don't you catch a rabbit or a pheasant when you have free time?" Liang Xueying got angry when she saw her youngest son. He only knew how to eat all day and didn't do as much work as his younger sister.

"Aqing, don't worry about him. Just cook whatever you want tonight."

"I understand. I'll go back first," said Deng Qingling.

They rested for about half an hour, then went back to the field to continue picking peanuts.

Everyone was very energetic after lunch break and worked in the fields much faster. They finished the work by dark and went home one after another.

Many people go home and have dinner before taking a shower and going to bed because they are so tired that they fall asleep immediately.

After picking peanuts for a few days, I harvested soybeans. The soybeans were easy to harvest, but the hairs on the leaves were a bit prickly. When drying the soybeans, I had to knock them frequently to make it easier to shell them.

After harvesting soybeans, we dig sweet potatoes. The sweet potato vines are used to feed pigs. Some good quality sweet potatoes are selected to be used as seeds, and then potatoes and cabbage are planted.

The autumn sun is still very scorching, making people's faces red. After the autumn harvest, people become several degrees darker.

During the busy farming season, it is really tiring and people lose several pounds. I am most afraid of rain when harvesting and drying the crops. I have to harvest and dry the crops several times a day, which is very tiring.

Because the public grain tax had been paid once during the summer harvest, a portion of the peanuts, soybeans and sweet potatoes harvested in the autumn were dried, counted and kept for seeds, and then handed over again. The rest of the soybeans and sweet potatoes were directly distributed to the villagers and educated youth.

The peanuts are taken to the oil press and then distributed according to work points. Families with more work points can get 3-4 kilograms of oil, and families with fewer work points can get 2-3 kilograms of oil.

Some families use a little oil when cooking, while some families don't even use oil when cooking. They may use up two kilograms of oil at the beginning of the year and still have one and a half kilograms left at the end of the year.

"Aunt Ying, do you want to go pick chrysanthemums in the mountains? I'd love to pick some to make tea with!"

Zhou Jing, the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary, originally came to visit them to chat, but suddenly remembered that there were chrysanthemums at that time.

"Okay," Liang Xueying said.

"Mom, I also want to go to the mountains. I haven't been out for a long time since I took care of the children at home all day." Deng Qingling wanted to go out now.

Liang Xueying said: "What's so good about the mountains? It's easy for you to go out. Isn't tomorrow your mother-in-law's birthday? You can take Haohao back to her parents' home to stay for two or three days."

Deng Qingling said: "Yeah, I didn't even remember that tomorrow is my mother's birthday." She didn't expect that her grandmother in the previous life and her mother in this life had the same birthday.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask your dad to take you there, and then I'll go pick chrysanthemums." Liang Xueying said, then went out to find Guo Youxing.

Deng Qingling: "..." I haven't said I'm going yet! Although I want to go.

"Sister Jing, please sit for a while. I'll go pack my things," Deng Qingling said to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing: "..." Why are you so anxious? Don't you go back to your parents' home often? If you don't know, you might think you haven't been back for a long time.

I might as well go home instead of sitting here waiting alone.

"Aqing, I'll go back first. Tell Aunt Ying to call me when you're done." Zhou Jing said and left.

They are all impatient.

Guo Youxing sent Deng Qingling and the others to Tianxin Village. He originally wanted to go back directly, but it was not polite to pass through the door without entering.

After parking the ox cart, he came with the things. As soon as he reached the door, Guo Youxing shouted loudly: "In-laws, are you home?"

Liang Haidi said: "Here you come" and when she opened the door she saw only her father-in-law.

Liang Haidi asked: "My dear relative, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?" As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple for no reason.

"It's okay, it's okay. I brought Aqing and Haohao here and came in to say hello," Guo Youxing explained quickly.
