Chapter 256 Participating in the Summer Harvest



The village is about to start the summer harvest, so farm work has become busy. I guess Fu Shinian and the others will not come back for lunch.

After she got up, she thought about making some pies for them at noon and sending them to the fields along with the water.

After taking Yuanyuan for a walk in the yard and breathing in some fresh morning air, she sent the child to Mr. Zhang and went to the kitchen to prepare food.

At noon, she cut some leeks, beat a few eggs and made egg pie, and then paired it with some cold smashed cucumber, some kimchi she made herself, and some cool green bean soup.

"Master, I'll go deliver lunch to Shi Nian and the others first. You take Yuanyuan to eat first. I'll come back later to eat." Tong Yiya packed everything and went to the pharmacy to tell Master Zhang.

"Go ahead. I'm not hungry yet. I'll wait for you to come back and eat together." Mr. Zhang replied

"That's fine, I'll be back as soon as possible," Tong Yiya said

After saying that, he picked up the basket and went out. He went to the fields and asked several villagers before asking about the location of Fu Shinian and the others.

When she went over there, there were already many villagers resting and eating under a tree beside the field. She first went to the field to call Fu Shinian and the other man, and then she found a tree that was relatively shady.

He took out the lunch he brought and laid it out and said, "You must be hungry. You should have cooked a bowl of noodles at home in the morning before coming back."

"We woke up too late and didn't have time to eat breakfast," said Fu Shinian

"There are cakes and pastries at home. If you really don't have time to make breakfast, you should get some cakes and pastries. It's okay for you to be hungry, but why are you making Dong Zhiqing hungry too?" Tong Yiya said

"Okay, okay, I'll know next time. Wife, please don't say that to me again." Fu Shinian quickly admitted his mistake.

This time, the two of them were in a hurry and forgot a little.

"Okay, eat quickly. After you finish, I have to go back to eat. The corn looks like it's starting to bear fruit. It won't be long before the village will harvest wheat." Tong Yiya asked the two to eat quickly and said as she looked at the wheat field not far away.

"I heard from the village chief that we have to harvest quickly in a week. Otherwise, when it rains, the ripe wheat will be threshed into the fields, and all our work for the year will be in vain." Fu Shinian answered Tong Yiya while eating a pancake.

"Indeed, it's hard to predict when the summer rain will come, so it's better to harvest early," Tong Yiya nodded and said

She also wanted to go out and work during the summer harvest, but she couldn't tell Fu Shinian about this in advance, otherwise he would not agree no matter what.

After Fu Shinian and the others finished eating, Tong Yiya left the pottery jar and bowl filled with water and went back with the empty bowl and basket.

After returning home, she had lunch with Master Zhang. She cleaned up the dishes and fed Yuanyuan. Seeing that the sun was getting stronger outside, she picked up Yuanyuan and said to Master Zhang, "Master, it's too hot outside now. You should go back to the house and take a nap. I'll take Yuanyuan back with me to sleep as well. You can turn the herbs in the afternoon when the sun is not too strong."

"Okay, you can take Yuanyuan and rest," said Mr. Zhang

"good"

After Tong Yiya carried Yuanyuan back to the house, she took off his coat and put him on the kang to play.

She went to get some water and washed the child's face and hands with a towel. Then she held the child and coaxed him for a while, and Yuanyuan fell asleep.

She accompanied the child to take a nap, and when she woke up, it was around three in the afternoon. Seeing that Yuanyuan was still asleep, she went to the kitchen, boiled some water and mixed some jelly with ice, then fetched some water and watered the vegetable garden in the yard.

There are also some medicinal herbs that she transplanted back from the mountains, which are now wilted after being exposed to the strong sun.

After watering, the sun began to set, and when it got cooler, the vegetables and herbs slowly came back to life.

She also picked some tomatoes, cucumbers and green peppers from the vegetable garden to prepare dinner.

Afraid that the two grown men would not be full with just jelly at night, Tong Yiya steamed some buns for dinner, and served them with cold cucumbers, cold tomatoes, and pickled green peppers in soy sauce, which made up a complete dinner.

After preparing dinner, Tong Yiya fed Yuanyuan dinner first as Fu Shinian and the others had not returned yet. But when she was halfway through feeding her, Fu Shinian and the others came back.

Seeing her feeding the baby, Fu Shinian washed his hands and came over, took Yuanyuan and held her in his arms, saying, "I'll feed the baby, you go eat first."

"Then you feed him first. I'll go cut the jelly and we'll eat together later," Tong Yiya said as she handed him the bowl.

"It's great to have jelly today. I have no appetite for hot meals in this weather," said guard Dong happily when he heard that today's dinner was jelly.

"Usually I can't think of what to cook. If you want to eat something, you can just tell me. I will cook it for you if I have something at home," said Tong Yiya.

"Okay, next time we come back, I want to eat cold rice. Hot rice is too hot to eat," said Guard Dong.

"Okay, can I make it with rice? If I can, I'll make it next time. It will definitely taste good with some pickled vegetables," said Tong Yiya

"It's all right. Just cook whatever you have in the yard," said Fu Shinian.

"Okay, you feed Yuanyuan first, I'll go cut the jelly," Tong Yiya said as she got up and went into the kitchen

Soon, a pot of jelly was cut, and four large bowls were placed on the table. After adding all the seasonings, he called out, "Okay, it's time to eat."

"Okay, we'll be there soon," Fu Shinian replied.

As soon as the voice fell, the three of them took Yuanyuan into the kitchen and sat down at the dining table. Yuanyuan was placed on his own little stool aside and watched them eat.

Seeing that they were all concentrating on eating and no one paid attention to him, he made some noise from time to time to attract Tong Yiya's attention.

Finally, seeing that he was really craving for the jelly in their bowls, Tong Yiya took two pieces of jelly without any seasoning and fed them to him.

Yuanyuan didn’t know what this thing tasted like originally, but now that she had it in her mouth, she was extremely happy.

After dinner, it was not yet dark outside, so they sat in the yard and chatted for a while while boiling some water.

After the water in the kitchen was boiled, everyone went to wash up and then went back to the room to rest.

The next day, Fu Shinian and his friend went back to work, leaving only Tong Yiya and Mr. Zhang at home, along with a little Yuanyuan.

A few days later, the village started the summer harvest. Tong Yiya handed her child to Mr. Zhang and wrapped herself tightly up to go to work in the fields, participating in the summer harvest.

The wheat in the village had only been harvested for a few days before it was all collected and dried on the brigade's drying yard.

Tong Yiya hadn't worked so hard for a long time, so she just wanted to lie down when she got home during the first two days. It was not until the third day when she felt better that she insisted on continuing.

Fu Shinian and his friends didn't come back for almost ten days this time. When they came back, the summer harvest in the village had already ended. They came back with the things they bought.
