Before dinner, several people in the yard finally finished peeling all the persimmon cakes.

"Come over and eat~"

"Today's dinner is buffet style. There are stewed tomatoes and eggs and stewed minced meat and diced eggplant. You can take as much as you want. You can also get your own bowl for soup. It's all you can eat!"

In addition to these, there is a bowl of soybean paste and a bowl of chili sauce on the table for dipping the freshly picked vegetables.

"Don't worry, we'll do it ourselves."

Song Fuyu didn't like making choices, nor did he like the mixed flavors of noodles and gravy, so he just took three bowls, served himself two small bowls of noodles with gravy, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.

The two little guys, Xiaozheng and Tiantian, followed suit and also took three bowls, put them on the bench outside the yard and ate happily.

"It's a good thing you have so many bowls at home. If you were in a house where each person only has one bowl, they wouldn't be able to accommodate the way you eat."

"Isn't it more convenient to eat like this? If you want to eat noodles, you can eat noodles. If you want to drink soup, you can drink soup. It doesn't interfere with anything."

"Aunt Yan, Brother Shitou and his friends asked me to ask you if you could give them a persimmon to eat."

"Of course you can, but you have to wait until the persimmons are fully ripe before you can eat them. I think you'll have to wait about half a month."

"The persimmons are planted in your yard, and your family also has a share. If your friends want to eat persimmons in the future, you can make your own decision without asking me."

"But one thing you must pay attention to is that you can't eat too many persimmons."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Yan."

"You are welcome."

After dinner, several grown men started a discussion about who should wash the dishes.

Their main target of attack was Li Yunhua, because he arrived the latest and was of no help at all, he just came with his mouth.

"Xingmin, Huzi, I guess you two didn't help with the cooking, did you?"

“Although we didn’t help with the cooking, we spent a long time learning how to peel persimmons.”

"Persimmons are not today's dinner, let's not talk about that, let's just talk about today's dinner."

Li Yunhua didn't want to accept the fate of having to wash all the dishes today, and was still trying to struggle.

"Our family has provided food rations!"

“I picked the pickles!”

After Wu Xingmin and Li Hu finished talking, Li Yunhua resigned himself to his fate and went to the kitchen.

Li Hu, this bad boy, doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. Next time he must bring food rations over!

..........

The next day, Song Fuyu had no plans to go to the studio to work.

I took my grandparents to the private plot and picked a lot of vegetables and brought them home to make dried vegetables.

"When I return to Beijing, I will turn the yard in front of my house into a vegetable garden and grow my own vegetables."

The land in front of their door had always been empty, with nothing planted. It was not much bigger than the yard in front of Xiaoyu's house, but not much smaller either.

"Sure, I'll see if I can bring a few fruit tree seedlings when I get back and plant a few in the yard so that it will be convenient to eat."

"Can!"

"I'll try to find out if there are any persimmon trees so I can plant one at the door."

"I don't know when Uncle Li will get my car back to me. If he comes this week, I can drive you to Qin City on Friday. Xiaoyue and Xiaohai will have holidays on Saturday and Sunday."

"After dinner, I'll go and urge Yunhua."

Seeing his grandfather being so understanding, Song Fuyu smiled happily in his heart.

She was too embarrassed to urge Uncle Li, but Grandpa could.

"Is it okay for you not to go to the studio this week?"

"No problem! I have planned the time."

"The next trade fair in Hai City will be in January, which is more than three months away. The Qin City clothing factory has allocated a new processing line to produce new products, so there is more than enough time."

“Just looking at the photos you took, I can feel the lively atmosphere at the scene.”

"I don't know how the venue layout will be this year in Hai City. Last year, it was really poor in my opinion. It may be affected by the winter temperature, and the flow of people is not as much as in Guang City."

"There will be a trade fair in Guang City next year. If you are interested, Grandpa and Grandma, I will take you to see the excitement. After the trade fair is over, we can travel all the way back to Jing City."

"Would it be bad if we went too?"

Grandpa Yan was somewhat tempted by her proposal, but he was worried that it would affect her work.

"It's okay. We'll just open two more rooms. At most, we'll pay for the rooms in the guesthouse. If we don't take advantage of them, they won't say anything."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Although my grandparents traveled to many places when they were young, most of them were in a state of war and instability, and they had never taken a good look at the country where they had lived for more than 70 years.

While they are in good health, can walk steadily and take care of themselves, take them to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland.

When they are older and have difficulty moving, even if she has this idea, it will be difficult to realize it.

"I'll follow your arrangements. We old couple will have the chance to see the world with you."

..........

Yan Ziyuan notified Xiaobai and his family of three to come over for dinner in the morning, and Grandma Yi came to Yan's house at four o'clock in the afternoon to help.

"You picked so many vegetables, are you planning to dry them all?"

After a day of work, a lot of fruits have been dried in their yard.

"Xiao Yu said that we should dry some more potatoes and save them for winter while the temperature is still high. Otherwise, we can only eat potatoes and cabbage in winter."

“Can cucumbers and tomatoes be dried?”

Grandma Yi used to often stock up on winter vegetables in advance, but she had never tried vegetables with high water content. Most of the time, she stocked up on vegetables such as sun-dried pickled vegetables, dried beans, and dried bamboo shoots.

"Xiao Yu said that cucumbers should be dried directly in the sun, and tomatoes should be baked in a clay oven until dry."

"I have to learn this. We also grow a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes in our private plot. If we can successfully dry them, we can have one or two more dishes on the table in winter."

Song Fuyu brought out a basin of blanched vegetables and saw two grandmothers chatting enthusiastically.

"Grandma Yi, long time no see."

"I'm learning from your grandmother how to dry vegetables with high water content."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Don't worry, the vegetables I prepared for drying today have almost been processed. Just spread them out to dry."

Grandma Yi was not really idle either. She quickly helped Song Fuyu spread out a clean cloth to place the vegetables that had just been served.
