Chapter 198 Summer Harvest Begins



She didn't care about those looks. After all, she experienced it every day and she was used to it.

Tong Yiya first found the field where Fu Shinian and his team were working, and shouted a few times on the ridge at the edge of the field. After a while, she saw two figures walking towards her.

As soon as Guard Dong got closer, he asked hurriedly: "Tong Zhiqing, what are we having today? I'm a little hungry."

"Today we're having stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried water spinach, cold cucumber salad, and tomato egg drop soup. The staple food is steamed buns made from two-grain flour. I brought a lot today, so just eat until you're full," Tong Yiya replied.

"The food is so good today. Let's find a place to sit down and eat. I wasn't very hungry just now, but after hearing you name the dishes, I feel even hungrier," said Guard Dong as he walked in front.

Fu Shinian took the basket from Tong Yiya from behind. Seeing that she didn't bring a hat, he said, "The sun is so strong at noon, why didn't you bring a hat?"

As he said this, he took off his straw hat and put it on her head, then picked up the basket and followed Guard Dong.

Tong Yiya put on her hat, then followed with a smile and said, "I saw that the meal delivery was a little late today, and I was in a hurry when I went out, so I forgot to wear it."

"Then remember to bring it with you next time, okay?" Fu Shinian turned around and said to her

"Yes, I understand, butler," Tong Yiya replied with a smile.

"That's just your steward," Fu Shinian said in a low voice

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the tree that Guard Dong had found. Fu Shinian and Guard Dong swiftly pulled out a mat from the basket and spread it on the ground before placing the food in the basket on the ground. The three of them didn't say anything else. They just washed their hands and started eating.

Tong Yiya is still the same as she was in the past two years. She always brings her own portion to the field and eats with the two of them.

As for Mr. Zhang at home, Tong Yiya would scoop out his portion and put it on the dining table after preparing lunch every day at noon. She would then tell Mr. Zhang about it before going out.

Dong Weibing stuffed stir-fried pork with green peppers into steamed buns. It tasted really good when he took big bites, but the peppers were a bit spicy.

He didn't eat spicy food before, but after he started living with Tong Yiya, he slowly started to eat spicy food. Every time Tong Yiya cooked, she would take him into consideration and use less chili.

Just like today's stir-fried pork, she put very little chili, just to lend flavor. If he didn't want to eat it, he could just pick out the meat from it. But I don't know what happened to the child, he actually dared to challenge it today.

Seeing that he was gasping for breath due to the spiciness, Tong Yiya could only smile and asked Fu Shinian to quickly pour him a bowl of water to drink.

After Guard Dong recovered, he said embarrassedly: "I just tried it and it didn't taste that spicy, so I took so much at once. I didn't expect it to be so spicy when eaten together."

"This green pepper is quite spicy. I didn't remind you," Tong Yiya said with a smile.

"It's okay, he can exercise now," said Fu Shinian.

"Yes, yes, I have to learn to eat spicy food too," said Guard Dong

After the three of them finished their lunch, Fu Shinian put all the bowls and chopsticks into a basket. The three of them sat under a tree and rested for a while. The others went back to the fields to continue working. Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing also stood up, said something to Tong Yiya, and went back to work.

After the two returned to the field, Tong Yiya picked up the wood on the ground, shook it clean, folded it and put it in the basket, then returned to her own yard.

When they returned to the courtyard, Grandpa Zhang had already finished his lunch. He also cleaned the dishes and chopsticks he had used, as well as the kitchen pots and pans that Tong Yiya had messed up while cooking.

Tong Yiya returned home, washed the dishes she brought back from the fields, and went back to the house to take a nap.

Old Zhang was also taking a nap at this time. It was the hottest time of the day and villagers generally would not come to see a doctor at this time unless there was something urgent.

When Tong Yiya woke up, it was around three in the afternoon. She thought it was getting late, so she went to the fields to cut some tender grass to feed the chickens at home.

After saying something to Mr. Zhang who was drinking tea under the eaves, she went out with her sickle and backpack.

The two families only had four chickens, so she didn't cut much grass before going home. She also picked some wild vegetables, planning on making a cold dish in the evening.

After returning home, she fed grass to the chickens in the two yards, and then went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

It was around six o'clock when Fu Shinian and his colleagues came back from work, and her dinner was already ready.

Now there is a small door between the two courtyards. They usually close the door before dinner and then start eating dinner.

After dinner, Tong Yiya took a shower first, and then Fu Shinian and the other two began to take turns bathing.

In this hot summer, I will sweat all day without moving. If I don’t take a shower at night, it will be difficult to fall asleep under the quilt.

Mr. Zhang didn't have the conditions to wash in the shed before. After he came here, he also washed like the others, every three days in winter and every day in summer. Sometimes it was too hot at noon, so he would put a basin of cold water in the house to make it feel better.

After taking a shower, the four of them dried their hair in the yard. After their hair was dry, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After the summer harvest, it was time to distribute the grain. This time, the three of them got a lot of grain, so they could feed the elderly people in the shed and save some for food, which would be enough for a while.

They will not save money, after all, they still have a lot of food left from last year.

After the summer harvest, they first went to deliver the public grain, and then distributed the grain to the villagers in the afternoon of the same day. This time, the three of them pulled three trips back and forth before they brought all the grain back home.

At first, their food was stored separately for each person. What Tong Yiya didn't expect was that the team leader gave Grandpa Zhang 100 kilograms of food alone, which was not included in his previous amount, and was said to be given separately.

Only Tong Yiya knew about this. In the past, the team leader always remembered her name. The village had good harvests in those years, so the villagers didn't have much objection.

Life went on like this. After more than two months, it was time for the autumn harvest. This time there was a lot of grain to be harvested in the village. Fu Shinian and his friends went out early and came back late every day. Now even dinner was delivered to the fields.

Tong Yiya once again proposed to go with them to harvest in autumn, but Fu Shinian stopped her again, saying that the family still needed someone to take care of it. Tong Yiya had no choice but to continue cooking at home.

But apart from cooking time, she was always in the fields and could also help Fu Shinian and the others with some work.

Upon seeing this, Fu Shinian only asked her not to run to the fields when the sun was at its highest, and the rest was up to her.

She also did a good job of providing the two with dietary supplements, and she even secretly added a few drops of spiritual spring water to the water they drank.

During this period, the village needs medicinal soup, which sometimes never stops every day. This anti-heat medicinal soup is also necessary so that the villagers can avoid heatstroke during the autumn harvest and avoid affecting the autumn harvest work.
