Chapter 88 Autumn Harvest 1



The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Guihua told her some gossip about the village. Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "Oh, it's getting late. I have to go back to cook. I'll go back first. I'll talk to you next time."

Aunt Guihua stood up as she spoke, and Tong Yiya also stood up and said, "Aunt, just stay here for dinner. I'll take you back after dinner."

"No, my husband is waiting for me to come back and cook for him, otherwise he will go hungry," Aunt Guihua refused.

She thought that Tong Zhiqing had only been in the countryside for a short time, and there must not be much food at home. How could she stay here to eat her food? So she continued, "Okay, don't send me off. I'll go back first. When you finish eating the vegetables, go home and pick some more."

"Well, then I'll invite you and uncle to have a meal at home after the autumn harvest. Don't refuse then." Tong Yiya also knew her worries. After all, she had just arrived here and had not yet received any food. Others would think that she had only borrowed 30 kilograms of food when she first arrived.

"Okay, your uncle and I will definitely come then. Okay, don't see us off. It's not far away." The two of them were already at the door while talking. Aunt Guihua asked her to stop and then went home alone.

Tong Yiya stood at the door and waited until the people walked away before returning to the yard. She first went to the kitchen to cook her own staple food, and then went to the yard to take back the medicinal herbs she had dried and put them in the infirmary. After locking the door, she carried the vegetable scale brought by Aunt Guihua into the kitchen.

She found a stool to sit down in the kitchen and began to sort the vegetables in the basket. Finally, she saw six eggs at the bottom of the basket. Eggs in that era were as precious as meat. The fact that Aunt Guihua gave them to her to eat showed that she really cared about her.

Tong Yiya really didn't expect that after coming to this world, she would meet an aunt who was kind to her everywhere. Her initially cold heart was finally warmed up a little.

She picked up the six eggs and put them in a big bowl, thinking that she would give Aunt Guihua gifts in the future. If others were kind to her, she wouldn't mind giving something in return.

In the evening she fried two eggs and a piece of Chinese cabbage for herself, and her staple food was rice soup with steamed buns.

Her life has been pretty good recently, but she still eats some coarse grains from time to time, for fear that her throat will become thinner and she will not be able to eat coarse grains when visiting other people's homes.

After dinner, Tong Yiya went into the space to read books and exercise. She also harvested all the farmed animals in her space and the harvests from the fields.

Most of the meat was made into bacon and air-dried bacon, some chickens, ducks and geese were also pickled and dried, and grains were processed into side dishes. Now her warehouse is piled with a lot of grain stocks.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when she finished everything. She took a shower and went out to rest.

Tong Yiya lived a relatively peaceful life for the next ten days. At this time, Deng Ergou from the village was sent back on the third day of his hospitalization because he could not pay the hospital's medical bills.

Every day the team leader would send someone to get medicine from her and give it to him, just to prevent the two from meeting each other. This Tong Zhiqing was the barefoot doctor that their team had been waiting for with great difficulty, and the team leader loved him very much.

Within a few days, the news spread among the villagers that Deng Ergou would be a lame man with one leg and one missing hand from now on, and many other people also knew that he was dying.

At the beginning, Tong Yiya only broke one of his legs due to carelessness, and the walking leg is just lame now, but he can still walk.

She didn't do anything else. Anyway, this kind of punishment was unacceptable to him. It was more painful than death. As long as he didn't do anything bad in the future, Tong Yiya would let him live like this. If he did something bad again, she wouldn't mind sending him to the back mountain to feed the wolves.

The village is about to start the autumn harvest today. The first crops to be harvested will be sweet potatoes and potatoes, followed by corn and then rice.

During the autumn harvest, Tong Yiya had already told the team leader that she would go to the fields to harvest with everyone. In the morning, she would prepare medicinal tea to prevent heatstroke, and the team leader would ask someone to carry it to the fields and distribute it to everyone.

She got up early that day and started to light the stove and cook medicinal tea. The people in the team knew how to get the water and firewood. She just had to help cook it and wait for someone to take it away.

Just as she finished making the medicinal tea, a few aunties came. Tong Yiya took them into the kitchen, and they skillfully filtered out the herbs from the tea and put them into the wooden barrels they brought.

There were two buckets full of food after that. Tong Yiya was afraid that there would not be enough to share, so she added more water and herbs into the pot and continued to boil it for another half hour. The two aunties who had filled the two buckets first took them away, and the two aunties who stayed behind helped to light the stove. It was cooked soon, and after filling the buckets, the three of them went out to the fields together.

It doesn't matter if Tong Yiya goes a little later, because everyone is divided into different areas for the autumn harvest, or two people are paired up to share a piece of land and divide the work equally after the work is done. Therefore, most of the people working in the fields are family members who are assigned a piece of land, so that they can help each other.

Tong Yiya was allocated a piece of land by herself, which was just three ditch sweet potatoes. She went to the field fully equipped. She first cut the sweet potato vines, tied them up and threw them aside, and then started digging.

Throw the dug sweet potatoes in the middle and pile them up at a certain distance from each other. This will make it easier to pick them up when you carry them back.

She worked alone until noon, when she saw that everyone else in the field had gone to eat lunch under a tree beside the ridge. She also stopped and walked under the tree, dumped the hoe in her hand on the ground, and sat on the hoe handle.

She sat down and took out the biscuits and water she had prepared from her bag. Just as she was about to eat, Aunt Guihua came over with a middle-aged man and sat down opposite her.

Tong Yiya asked, "Aunt, why are you and uncle here? I remember you were allocated land in the east."

"Yes, this is because it's your first time to participate in the autumn harvest, and I was afraid that you didn't have time to prepare food, so I brought you a portion when I went home to cook. Head of the family, please sit down. Let's finish eating quickly so that we can go back to work." Aunt Guihua said to the two of them as she took out the food from the basket and put it on the table.

Tong Yiya greeted Aunt Guihua's husband, and then said to Aunt Guihua, "Aunt, don't worry, I brought my own dry food. Look, my cakes are delicious."

As she spoke, she showed her the cake in her hand. Aunt Guihua saw that she only ate dry cakes with water, and felt sorry for the child and said, "Why do you only eat these dry and coarse cakes? You are still growing. That's not okay. During the autumn harvest period, you can eat with the two of us. Tomorrow I will ask the team leader to give us three-tenths of the cakes."

"How can that be possible?" Tong Yiya refused

"Okay, it's settled. Come eat quickly, there's still work to do," Aunt Guihua interrupted her and said

Then she stuffed a pair of chopsticks and a steamed bun made of two-grain flour into her hand, and as for the pancake in her hand, she took it directly and stuffed it into her man's hand.

Tong Yiya was just stunned for a moment, and then accepted it when she saw that she couldn't refuse. At worst, she could just take her own food rations to Aunt Guihua's house.

I'll bring in something else as a thank you gift when the time comes. Anyway, I can't let them suffer any loss.
