After all the greenhouses in the village were planted and the pig farm was back on track, everyone started busy cleaning up Qiu'er.

Picking up potatoes, cutting soybeans, breaking corns, cutting millet, and cutting millet, three springs are as busy as autumn.

After working hard for most of the year, the crops in the fields must be returned to the warehouse. At the end of the year, we are counting on this harvest.

The primary schools in the village are also on holiday during the busy farming season, and not only the village primary schools, schools in communes, and even schools in the county are also on holiday during this period.

Because there are many students in rural areas, you can help the family with some work when you return home, and some teachers also have land at home, so they also have to take care of Qiu'er.

It just so happens that the season is changing again, so students can change their clothes when they go home, killing two birds with one stone.

When they saw their second sister, Liu Yinfeng, happily carrying a tape recorder, they entered the house. The four and five children in the yard immediately jumped up to her with cheers.

Liu Yinfeng handed the recorder to Liu Qingshan who came up to him, then took out two handfuls of candies from the pocket of his floral shirt and stuffed them into the four and five phoenixes.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, the second sister seems to have grown taller again, and her figure is more slender. From Liu Qingshan's point of view, she is a perfect beauty, and she is still pure and natural.

So he praised: "Beautiful-girl!"

Liu Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled: "A-naughty-boy."

Haha, there is progress!

Liu Qingshan was quite satisfied with the second sister's spoken language, but his words were unforgiving: "How can you be such a second sister? I praise you as a beautiful girl, but you call me a bad boy."

"Also, you shouldn't use the word naughty, which means really bad, but mischievous, which means naughty."

Liu Yinfeng blinked her big and delicate eyes. She really felt that her younger brother was more professional than her English teacher, because what she just said was taught by her teacher.

With a smile on her face, she said: "Sanfeng'er, we are on a one-week farm break, and you can help me catch up on my English."

Liu Qingshan shrugged his shoulders: "I am busy with farming and I have to be busy, so I don't have time."

"Do you really have no time?"

Liu Yinfeng widened her beautiful eyes and twirled her fingers exaggeratedly.

Liu Qingshan immediately surrendered: "No matter how busy I am, I still have to help my diligent and beautiful second sister with her classes."

whee!

Even Shan Xing couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.

Entering the house with a smile, Lin Zhi was so happy to see the second girl back: "San Feng'er, hurry up to the warehouse and take out the matsutake you picked yesterday. Only your second sister has never tasted it.

.”

As a mother, every child is her favorite. The less she is around, the more she misses them.

Liu Qingshan also smiled and agreed. These days, villagers occasionally use their free time to go to the mountains to pick some wild products. In addition to fungi, they also bring back a lot of hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans and the like.

After drying, save it for eating in winter. In winter, I only eat two meals and add some nuts. At least my mouth is not idle and my stomach is somewhat comforted.

During dinner, in addition to pan-fried matsutake mushrooms, Liu Qingshan also showed off his specialty: walnut kernels in syrup.

In fact, you just put the walnut kernels in an iron pot, slowly bake them over low heat, wait until they are cooked, then boil the syrup, and then coat the walnut kernels with the syrup.

Sugar is in short supply right now, and no one is willing to use it, so few people know how to boil sugar syrup.

But for Liu Qingshan, this is nothing.

A large plate of walnut kernels was served on the table. They were sweet and crispy, and everyone cheered.

Liu Qingshan brought back a lot of pecans these days, nearly half a sack. As he ate them, he said: "Walnuts are good for the brain. Second sister, please eat more."

"And eldest sister, you should also eat more. When you are pregnant, if you eat three walnuts a day, you will definitely give birth to a little genius."

"As well as grandparents and mother, you middle-aged and elderly people should also eat more walnuts. This is the best calcium supplement."

After hearing what he was talking about, the little old man became anxious: "Brother, what about Shan Xing and I?"

Liu Qingshan touched her antenna pigtails: "You should also eat more, your little brains are getting smarter and smarter, and you will get 100 points every time you take the exam!"

The two little girls were so beautiful that they couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. Shan Xing even put a lot of walnut kernels in Yang Hongying's bowl.

Although she was on holiday, Yang Hongying was not ready to leave. She wanted to have nothing to do, so she followed Liu Qingshan and others to do farm work in the fields the next day.

"Teacher Yang, you have never done farm work, so you should help my mother cook at home, or you can help my eldest sister feed the chickens."

Liu Qingshan was a little uneasy. Yang Hongying was from the city, so he must have never done anything like digging in the soil.

And there was another thing that touched Liu Qingshan. Just yesterday, Yang Hongying went to the post and telecommunications office again to contact her friend in the island country.

The other party also confirmed that when the wild vegetables come down from the mountains in the spring of next year, they will bring people over to discuss the purchase of wild vegetables and the subsequent purchase of edible fungi.

It can be seen that Yang Hongying really regards this place as his home; then of course Liu Qingshan also treats her as his family.

Yang Hongying didn't show any weakness at all: "You're looking down on people, right? How about we have a competition."

There was no other way, so Lin Zhi could only hand her a pair of thick-thread gloves and told her, "Teacher Yang, come back when you are tired."

Originally, Lin Zhi was about to go to the fields to harvest crops, but was stopped by Liu Qingshan. He knew that his mother's health had been exhausted over the years, and he must not be tired anymore and just cook at home.

And the eldest sister is pregnant and can't do heavy work. Those chicks are enough to keep her busy.

In the end, the workers included Liu Qingshan, Liu Yinfeng, Gao Wenxue, and Yang Hongying, all of whom set off carrying three-toothed paws and earthen baskets.

"Teacher Yang, you have never done farm work, so you should help my mother cook at home, or you can help my eldest sister feed the chickens."

Liu Qingshan was a little uneasy. Yang Hongying was from the city, so he must have never done anything like digging in the soil.

And there was another thing that touched Liu Qingshan. Just yesterday, Yang Hongying went to the post and telecommunications office again to contact her friend in the island country.

The other party also confirmed that when the wild vegetables come down from the mountains in the spring of next year, they will send someone to discuss the purchase of wild vegetables and the subsequent purchase of edible fungi.

It can be seen that Yang Hongying really regards this place as his home; then, of course, Liu Qingshan also treats her as a family member.

Yang Hongying didn't show any weakness at all: "You're looking down on people, right? How about we have a competition."

Behind him were the fourth and fifth boys, the two little guys carrying a big earthen basket together.

In these days of autumn harvest, men, women, old and young are called upon to go into battle together.

Today we were picking potatoes. When we got to the field, the boss had already driven the ox plow, and the fields were open along the ridges.

All Liu Qingshan and the others needed to do was to pick up the potatoes into baskets and put them into sacks.

Of course, you still need to dig it out with a three-toothed spatula to remove all the potatoes hidden in the soil.

Two gentlemen, Liu Qingshan and Gao Wenxue, were waving their three-toothed picks in front.

Liu Yinfeng and Yang Hongying wiped the soil off the potatoes one by one with their hands.

Three Phoenix and Four Phoenix picked up the clean potatoes into the basket. When the basket was full, they poured them into the sack.

There has been heavy rain this autumn, so there is more soil on the potatoes. This is what the common people call "Buried Autumn".

At the beginning, Yang Hongying was still very interested, but then it became boring and repetitive. After squatting on the ground for a long time, her legs became sore.

The gloves she was wearing were already dark and stained with soil, and her palms were still burning. She must have been red for a long time, but this girl was also stubborn, so she gritted her teeth and persisted.

After all, Liu Yinfeng had been doing farm work since she was a child, so it was quite easy. Gradually, she also discovered the situation with Teacher Yang, and took the initiative to chat with Yang Hongying, asking some questions, or listening to Yang Hongying talk about interesting things about going to college.

While working and chatting, Yang Hongying finally felt better.

After working for more than two hours, Liu Qingshan asked everyone to go to the field to rest and drink some water to quench their thirst.

When he came, he brought a thermos bottle, but the water in it was not boiling water, but cold water freshly drawn from the well.

Use the lid of the thermos to collect the water, take a sip, and the cool water will flow down, and you will feel refreshed.

Yang Hongying also sat down on the ground in an inconspicuous manner, her whole body seemed to be falling apart, and she really wanted to lie down on her back for a while.

When she was a child, she also read the poem "It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drops from the hoeing is on the soil." However, it was only when she actually participated in rural labor that she realized the hardships involved.

Xiao Laosi and Shan Xing were also tired and sweating, and their little faces were dirty and turned into two cat-like faces.

They didn't have any scruples, they just went to the ground, spread out their limbs, and exclaimed happily: "Wow, it feels so comfortable!"

As soon as Yang Hongying saw it, she completely let go, leaned back, and lay down on the ground.

Gao Wenxue glanced at her and then looked away. After all, Yang Hongying is a young girl, so don't look at anything inappropriate.

However, Liu Qingshan had a smile in his eyes. He admired Yang Hongying's frankness.

The warm sun on her face felt really comfortable. Unknowingly, Yang Hongying closed her eyes. She was too tired.

Feeling her lips being touched, Yang Hongying opened her eyes in shock. In front of her eyes were the smiling faces of Caifeng and Shan Xing.

The little fourth boy was holding something in his hand and was stuffing it into her mouth.

Yang Hongying's face suddenly turned red. She thought someone was kissing her secretly just now.

She straightened up and sat up, and saw Shan Xing stretching out her little hand. In the palm of her hand was a small round black fruit, slightly larger than a soybean.

"Teacher Yang, eat it, it's Hei Tiantian."

Shan Xing's big eyes looked over, so pure that Yang Hongying's soul was purified again.

So Yang Hongying took off her gloves, pinched one and put it in her mouth, took a bite, it was slightly sweet and sour, and the taste was not bad, so she smiled at Shan Xing: "It's delicious, you can eat it too."

Hei Tiantian is a small local wild fruit that matures in autumn. It is also called Hei Youyou and its scientific name is Solanum nigrum.

"Teacher Yang, look at the Huang Youyou I picked, it's bigger and sweeter!"
