The air was filled with a damp and hot smell.

In addition, everyone was hiding in the cornfield, and the dense corn seedlings blocked the sunlight. It was so stuffy and hot that they could hardly breathe.

Breaking corn is not an easy job.

The people hiding in the cornfield were scratched and felt itchy and uncomfortable.

The weather was too hot and sweat kept flowing down my face.

Drops of it flowed down the neck, dripped into the collar, and finally disappeared.

Ruan Mengmeng and her brother are no exception.

After working for a few hours, I wasn't really tired, just feeling hot and humid.

I was sweating all over and my clothes were soaked and stuck to my body, forming a sticky mess.

The corn seedlings, more than one meter tall, blocked out the sun.

Not even a trace of the breeze outside could get in.

At noon, the brother and sister separated and split the two rows of corn fields.

It was lunch time, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked out of the cornfield one after another.

The two followed the crowd and walked towards the big tree next to them.

It’s nice to take shelter under the big tree; the weather is so hot.

During the meal time, everyone can take a short break.

Zhang Xinxin saw the brother and sister from a distance.

She was jogging towards this side.

"Come on, follow me over there!"

She pulled Ruan Mengmeng's arm and walked to the side of the big tree.

There was a large empty space under the shade of the trees.

Bai Rong sat on a rock and took something out.

Ruan Mengmeng looked around and found that the cool areas under the shade of the trees were almost all occupied.

Some people even started quarreling over a piece of cool land.

Ruan Mengmeng brought fried rice with eggs and ham.

Zhang Xinxin and her daughter ate rice.

I know that Ruan Mengmeng and Zhang Xinxin both like to pickle sauerkraut.

Bai Rong fried a large plate of it early in the morning.

The lunch box was filled with food from her.

"This pickled cabbage and minced meat is really delicious!"

Ruan Zilong took a big bite, and the sour, spicy, salty and fragrant aroma exploded in his mouth.

"If you like it, eat more. There's still plenty at home!"

As she spoke, Bai Rong used a spoon to scoop a large spoonful for each of the three of them.

"That's enough, Auntie, you should eat quickly too!"

Bai Rong is a very generous and enthusiastic person.

Ruan Mengmeng felt a little embarrassed.

After half an hour of chatting and laughing, the four people's lunch time was over.

After a short rest and saying hello, everyone returned to work in the fields.

It’s the autumn harvest season and time is a bit tight.

No one dared to slack off in private despite the village chief's anger.

After more than ten days of busy work, the crops in the fields were finally harvested.

They harvested and dried the grain at the same time. By the time the grain was harvested, almost all the corn was dried.

The other peanuts, soybeans and sesame seeds were in very small quantities and were also dried.

All the women and children in the village were assigned to peel corn.

The remaining men were busy cutting corn seedlings and applying manure to the fields!

These days, there are no chemical fertilizers, only organic fertilizers.

After the corn is harvested, it is time to plant wheat in the next season.

The land in the fields not only needs to be fertilized, but also plowed.

The entire Zhangjia Village was busy.

Ruan Mengmeng and her brother were also assigned to peel corn.

All the educated youth in the Youth House, except the male ones, are here.

In an era without machines, everything had to be done manually.

Ruan Mengmeng was also helpless. After traveling to this era, she could only adapt to the local customs.

Fortunately, the brother and sister wore gloves, so peeling corn was not too tiring.

This went on for more than ten days before all the dried corn cobs were peeled.

The brother and sister are not needed to sow wheat.

So, for the two of them, the autumn harvest is finally over.

It's time to go back to collecting grass for pigs.

As for paying public grain, that is the responsibility of the men in the village.

….

Early in the morning, Ruan Mengmeng was cooking in the kitchen!

There was a knock on the door.

"Mengmeng, open the door quickly, it's me, Zhang Xinxin!"

From a long distance, Ruan Mengmeng could hear Zhang Xinxin shouting.

"Wait a minute, it's coming right up!"

Throwing down the shovel in her hand, Ruan Mengmeng turned around and instructed Ruan Zilong.

"Turn down the fire, I'll go open the door!"

After saying that, she wiped her hands and trotted away.

A moment later, when the door opened, Zhang Xinxin stared at her with a smile on his face.

"No, you haven't gotten up yet?"

She asked teasingly.

"I got up early and am making breakfast!"

Not caring about her tone, Ruan Mengmeng invited her into the yard.

"I won't go in. Ding ding ding, guess what this is?"

She held up an envelope and waved it in front of Ruan Mengmeng.

???

Ruan Mengmeng didn't understand what she meant, and question marks kept popping up above her head.

"Here, take it. I'm leaving now!"

Before Ruan Mengmeng could figure it out, Zhang Xinxin stuffed the envelope into her hand.

Then, he ran away without looking back.

In fact, Zhang Xinxin also wanted to take a look at what was written in it.

However, before leaving, Bai Rong told her to come back after delivering the letter.

Fearing that Ruan Mengmeng would feel embarrassed, Bai Rong asked Zhang Xinxin not to bother her.
