Feng Guizhi looked at the bracelet, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt it was made of gold. But how did this gold bracelet appear here?
She took the bracelet off Baoya's wrist, looked at it carefully, and finally confirmed that it was made of gold. When Feng Guizhi came out with this result, her first reaction was not joy, but fear.
She quickly asked the younger ones, "Where did you get this?"
Yun Duo was nearby at the time and said, "Little Bao and I were digging a hole to roast sweet potatoes when she dug it out. The bracelet was covered in black mud and we couldn't tell what it was. We just came back and washed it off."
Baoya looked at Feng Guizhi and Yun Duo with her big eyes and nodded in agreement.
"Did you find it while digging a hole?" Feng Guizhi asked with a frown, then pressed the issue further: "Where did you dig it?"
"It's by the ditch in the east..." Several children told Feng Guizhi the location where to dig sweet potatoes.
Feng Guizhi heard that there was no one living around there, and from what they said, this thing didn't seem to be hidden there by anyone. It might be something that was buried at some unknown time and slowly got to where it is now.
Feng Guizhi felt a little relieved at this point. She had been worried that someone might have hidden something harmful. However, even if it wasn't this bracelet, she definitely couldn't give it to Baoya.
Feng Guizhi looked at Baoya and asked, "Baoya girl, can I keep this bracelet for you?"
Baoya blinked and nodded her head.
Although she liked the bracelet very much, Feng Guizhi was her grandmother and was very kind to her, so she would never refuse anything Feng Guizhi said.
Feng Guizhi rubbed Baoya's head, then warned the other children: "None of you can tell anyone about the bracelet you found today. Just pretend it never happened, okay?"
The younger ones nodded quickly. Although they didn't ask why, they all guessed that the bracelet must be made of gold. Knowing how precious gold was, they certainly didn't dare to tell anyone.
Feng Guizhi always knew that the children in the family were sensible and not the kind of people who couldn't keep their mouths shut, so after she finished speaking, she looked outside the door, then went into the main room and hid the bracelet.
Feng Guizhi did not tell Yang Yulan, Chen Xiuxiu and the others about this matter, and it passed quietly.
......
The next day, everyone in the team started to get busy.
It's time to harvest the beans in the field.
Although the weather in September is not as hot as in July and August, the sun can still be very hot. When I was busy harvesting beans these past two days, the sun was very strong and it made me sweat.
The adults in the family started going out early and coming back late, busy with the harvest. After all, it was related to their own food supply. Even the lazy wife Tian Po started to work hard these past two days.
When the children went to school, Baoya and Yuanbao began to take on the task of delivering water. They first delivered it to Feng Guizhi, then delivered it along the way to Yang Yulan, Chen Xiuxiu, Sun Suyun, and finally to Song Aiguo and Song Aimin.
It takes almost an hour to run one trip.
Sometimes after the beans were delivered, Yuanbao would help to harvest them, but the beans were too prickly. Even though Song Aiguo put gloves on him, he still cried out in pain, and then he never wanted to harvest beans again.
However, if the two of them saw beans dropped on the road while delivering water, they would pick them up. After a few days, they had filled more than half a basket.
Everyone in the autumn harvest team was busy as hell. After finishing a day's work, they had to go to their own private plots to harvest beans and corn. Everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to cook well.
The Song family was the same. Every day they would just cook some porridge and stir-fry a couple of vegetables, and then go to bed. But none of the children in the family complained. They ate whatever was cooked for them.
Sometimes Feng Guizhi would stew an egg for them, or make egg soup, and the little ones all enjoyed it very much.
After several days of hard work, the autumn harvest was finally over. This year's harvest was excellent, significantly more than last year's.
Song Yuangang was also happy. The harvest was good, and the leaders above would probably praise him. It would also be a good thing for the people in their team.
However, the work is not over after the beans are harvested. Wheat still needs to be planted and harvested next year.
By the time we were done with the work, it was already the end of September. Song Yuan had just given everyone in the team half a day off, and with National Day being tomorrow, everyone could have a day and a half off, perfect for a break.
The school was on holiday for three days, and the children were very happy. Feng Guizhi looked at the children and thought about Song Jianshe in the city.
It’s time for Li Qingyan to come back.
In the evening, the Song family cooked a lot of dishes. It had been a while since we last ate, and the adults at home were all craving for them. Especially since they had been so busy lately, most of the adults had lost a lot of weight.
Feng Guizhi picked two large eggplants and made a stew of them. Then she cooked vermicelli noodles with Chinese cabbage, stir-fried yam with black fungus, and a pot of seaweed and egg soup.
I originally wanted to cook some preserved egg and lean meat porridge, but there weren't many preserved eggs to begin with, and they were all eaten up long ago. I don't know when the one Song Jianshe sent over last time will be ready.
Braised eggplant in oil is also easy to make. First, heat the pan and pour in oil. Then put the chopped onion, ginger and garlic in and stir-fry until fragrant. Then you can pour in the eggplant cut into long pieces. Stir-fry evenly and add some seasoning, especially dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, so that the color will look good and it will taste more fragrant.
Then pour half a bowl of water, cover the pot and simmer for a while, add salt to season, smash two cloves of garlic, stir-fry evenly and it is ready to serve.
By the time the meal was ready and served, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. Normally, the meal would have been ready by this time, but thinking that Song Jianshe and Li Qingyan would be home around this time, Feng Guizhi made the meal a little late.
It was already dark outside. Not long after the Song family sat down at the table, there was a knock on the door. The sound was not loud, but Feng Guizhi had been paying attention and could vaguely hear it.
She quickly got up and opened the door. Chen Xiuxiu looked at her and said with a smile, "Is it Jianshe and Qingyan who are back?"
"The timing is perfect. The food has just been served and we can enjoy hot meals."
Yang Yulan held Tiantian in her arms, waved her little hand with a smile, and said to her, "Tiantian, mom and dad are back."
She gently rubbed Tiantian's little hand, then handed Tiantian to Song Jianye and said, "I'll get two more bowls and chopsticks."
"Yuanbao, fourth uncle and aunt are back." Wenjie said to Yuanbao after hearing what the adults said at the table.
"Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt have been gone for a long time this time." Yun Duo also said.
Yuanbao turned his head and looked towards the gate, feeling a surge of anticipation. Although his uncle and aunt were very kind to him, he still relied more on Li Qingyan and missed his parents very much.
At the gate, Feng Guizhi opened it, but the people standing outside were not Song Jianshe and Li Qingyan. Feng Guizhi obviously did not expect it, and was stunned for a moment.
Then he quickly made way:
"It's Xiaobei, come in quickly."
Shen Yibei entered the yard. Feng Guizhi glanced outside and closed the door.
"Come, let's go to the main room." Feng Guizhi pulled Shen Yibei over, but Shen Yibei didn't move. He stood in the yard and handed over the thing in his arms.
"These are the duck eggs that Uncle Jianshe sent me last time. They just got better in the past two days, so I sent them here."
After saying that, Shen Yibei asked Song Jianye again: “By the way, is Uncle Jianye’s leg recovering well now?”
Feng Guizhi took it and put a large bag of preserved eggs in a cloth bag. Although she didn't know how many Song Jianshe had sent, she could guess without thinking that none were left in the cowshed.
She smiled and replied, "He's recovered well and can basically walk normally. Now that you're here, come inside and take a look for yourself."
It was difficult for Shen Yibei to refuse now, and he hadn't seen Baoya in the past few days, so he just wanted to see her.
Feng Guizhi took Shen Yibei to the main hall, and Yuanbao saw him with wide eyes and called out, “Brother Yibei?”
He turned his head and looked behind him, but did not see Song Jianshe and Li Qingyan.
“Brother Yibei.” The other kids were a little surprised to see Shen Yibei, but Baoya blinked and smiled faintly at Shen Yibei.
Shen Yibei's eyes swept over Baoya's little face. Although she had been running out to deliver water these days, Baoya was still as white as a peeled egg. It was just that the flesh on her face had lost a little, but it was still chubby and she wanted to pinch it gently when she saw people.
“Is it Xiaobei?” Song Jianye was very happy to see that Shen Yibei had come, and he stood up while holding Tiantian and walked out from behind the chair.
Shen Yibei saw that he was walking steadily and could not see anything unusual, so he knew that he had recovered well.
Thinking that he would have to tell Zhao Rongsheng the news when he returned, Shen Yibei asked a few more questions. After he finished speaking, Song Jianye smiled and said, "Since you are here, stay for dinner. Don't leave."
Shen Yibei certainly didn't want to. He had come here thinking that the people from the Old Song family should have finished their meal by now, but he didn't expect that they would still arrive at mealtime.
"No, I just came here after eating. You guys should hurry up and eat. I have to go back too."
After saying that, Shen Yibei said hello to the small table and turned to leave. Song Jianye was still holding Tiantian, and it was not easy to pull him, so he watched Shen Yibei leave the hall.
However, Feng Guizhi came out of the kitchen and called Shen Yi
Bei: "If you're not staying for dinner, you have to take these. I won't say any polite words. They're not valuable, so keep them."
Shen Yibei didn't want to accept it, but in the end he couldn't resist Feng Guizhi and accepted it: "Thank you, Grandma Feng."
"Good boy, be careful on your way back." Feng Guizhi reminded.
Shen Yibei nodded in agreement, then took his things and left under the cover of night.
After Feng Guizhi sent him out, she looked outside again, then closed the door and went to the main room.
"Let's eat." Feng Guizhi said, not knowing when Song Jianshe, Li Qingyan and the others would come back. The food would get cold if she waited any longer.
The children all glanced towards the yard, then looked at Yuanbao, then lowered their heads and began to eat. Yuanbao didn't look back, but started to eat with his chopsticks in silence.
Baoya watched everyone eating and was about to pick up her chopsticks when something suddenly flashed through her mind. She frowned and tried to recall it, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
"Little sister...sister, come and eat...it's time to eat." Tian'en, who was standing next to her, saw Baoya in a daze and said to her.
Baoya was brought back to her senses. She nodded to Tianen and stopped thinking about what had just happened.
Baoya lowered her head and began to eat. She took a small sip of the sweet potato porridge, and the sweet taste made her lick her lips. Today, the sweet potatoes were cut into small pieces and melted in the porridge. Every sip still had rice grains, sweet and fragrant.
Tian'en saw that Baoya only drank porridge and didn't eat any vegetables, so he picked up a piece of eggplant for her. Baoya looked up at Tian'en, pursed her lips and smiled at him, then picked up the eggplant and put it in her mouth.
The braised eggplant is especially delicious, especially when eaten with rice. It is full of flavor. We are used to eating light stir-fried dishes, but now we suddenly eat this kind of flavorful one. The little ones can't help but eat it bite by bite.
While we were eating, there was another knock on the door.
Feng Guizhi got up and opened the door. This time, the people outside were Song Jianshe and Li Qingyan. However, both of them looked a little unhappy.
"Mom, something happened."
The author has something to say: The lottery can be started now, it’s time for everyone to try their luck, the Spring Festival lottery will be held~!
