??Chapter 526 Harvesting autumn vegetables
??Xu Haiyuan came in later than his younger brothers and sisters, because they didn't get the first place in the class, and the teacher normally left homework for the students.
??Fourth grade is naturally different from second grade. During the five-day holiday, the teacher left a lot of homework for the children.
?? "What is this for? Picking vegetables?"
??As soon as Xu Haiyuan entered the door, he saw his grandmother leading his younger siblings to work in the vegetable garden, so he hurriedly asked.
?? "My grandma said that the weather may change and the temperature will drop. We should pick these vegetables and take them home and store them. Don't get frosty and freeze them so they can't be eaten."
??Xu Jinping replied while picking peppers.
?? "Oh, then I'll help too, wait a minute, I'll change my clothes."
??When Xu Haiyuan heard this, he stopped going to study with his master, went to change his clothes first, and hurriedly helped pick vegetables.
??Zhou Guilan led the children to pick beans, cucumbers and peppers in the front yard, and Xu Chenghou planed celery root and ghost **** in the back garden.
??The ghost **** is also called the frost flower. It is said that the ghost **** blooms for eighteen days and then frost falls.
??The underground tubers of ghost ginger, pickled pickles are delicious, especially crispy.
??The farmyard is like this every autumn, and all kinds of edible things are taken home.
??Marinate everything that should be pickled, and save it for winter and spring to eat slowly.
??The concert ended at ten o'clock in the morning, and the children were busy in the vegetable garden for an hour.
?? Zhou Guilan saw that it was not early, so she hurried back to the house to cook, while Xu Haiyuan and the others continued to work.
??When Zhou Guilan cooked the meal and called the children to eat, all the eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, etc. in the vegetable garden were picked.
?? Basket after basket was sent to the warehouse for storage, and slowly tidied up, salted what should be pickled, dried what should be dried, and kept the rest for a few days to eat.
?? After lunch, Xu Haiyuan and the others went back to work at home.
??Xu Shiyan's house has a big place, and there are more vegetables in the vegetable garden.
??In addition to vegetables, there are also Xu Jinping's favorite mushrooms, grapes, sand fruits, etc. It is best not to let Shuang beat them.
?? Mushroom girl can't eat after being beaten by frost. Grapes are better, but after being beaten by frost, the taste is not right.
??Xu Shiyan's family grows several kinds of sand fruits, including crabapple fruit that can be eaten in summer, and abacus beads and small apples that are only delicious in autumn.
?? These have to be picked off, otherwise they will not taste good if they are frozen.
??There are so many things, enough for the children to be busy for a while.
??In the afternoon, the sky became more cloudy. Before we packed up our things and went home, it started to rain a little.
?? "Hey, let's hurry up, it's time to play big later."
??Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan both speeded up, and the children hurried back to carry the vegetables.
?? They were cleaning up here. After a while, it rained heavily, and everyone had to run back to the house.
?? "Well, if it rains today, if it is sunny tomorrow, there will be frost in the morning of the day after tomorrow.
?? You are on vacation for five days, just in time for the weather, so you can't do anything. "
?? Zhou Guilan entered the room, patted his clothes a few times, and said.
?? "Grandma, we don't do anything, just accompany grandma to clean up vegetables and pickles at home."
??Xu Jinping's clever mouth can make anyone confused.
?? "Okay, okay, then let's put the pickles at home tomorrow." Zhou Guilan smiled happily.
?? After working for a long time, I finally picked up everything that should be picked.
??It was raining outside, and I couldn't do anything else. I just picked the red pepper, threaded a part of it with a thread, and kept it to dry.
??Xu Jinping also found a needle and thread, and threaded Gu Niang'er into a few strings.
??Of course, it’s the skin of Gu Niang’s outer skin. Wearing it like this and hanging it up, the skin won’t rot, and you can still eat it for a while.
??In the evening, Zhou Guilan stewed potatoes with eggplants.
??The young eggplants are not big, they are bigger than eggs, they are just split in two, and stewed with meat, the taste is very good.
??The children have been busy for a long time, and they didn't eat less of this meal at night, so they felt that the stewed tender eggplant was delicious.
?? The rain didn't last long, and it stopped in the evening, and the temperature outside suddenly dropped, and it was cold.
??When Yang Junxian came to pick up Yang Haoyu in the evening, Zhou Guilan was afraid that the child would be cold, so she specially found a thick coat for the child to wrap around it.
?? "If you two are too busy to take care of the child, it's the same to let him live here."
??Zhou Guilan now feels pain as if she regards Yang Haoyu as her own grandson.
??Yang Jun is now the secretary of Dongshen Village. He is busy in autumn. The village has to collect tasks and calculate various expenses.
??Besides, his family also grows mallets, and they want to grow ginseng and make goods. This autumn, the couple has been extremely busy, and the couple really can't take care of their children.
??Yang Junxian's father was ill the year before last, and his third sister took him to the city to raise him and was not at home.
??Some time ago, Yang Junxian's mother also went to the city, and now no one cares about Yang Haoyu.
??So Yang Haoyu didn't go to class in the afternoon and didn't go home, so he stayed at Xu's house.
?? "Thank you ma'am, oh, this autumn is really busy.
??If there is no aunt to help take care of our Xiaoyu, this child will not know what he will be like in the fall. "
?? Yang Junxian had to express his gratitude to Zhou Guilan.
?? "Ever since I started school, I almost grew up with my aunt. Oh, I don't know how to thank my aunt and uncle."
?? "Look at you, you only talk about heretics, isn't Xiaoyu the son of Shi Yan and his wife?
?? This is just like your own children. " Zhou Guilan laughed.
??Yang Junxian wrapped his son in a thick coat, carried him onto the bicycle, and then rode the bicycle to take his son home.
??Zhou Guilan watched Yang Junxian and his son leave, turned around and entered the room, and began to mutter.
?? "Oh, all of them don't care about anything when they get busy.
??Our family is the same, and they haven’t come back yet. "
??Xu Shiyan was still busy processing goods at the venue, while Su Anying led people to pick grades and pack them.
??At the beginning, I received orders for 2,500 catties, and in the past two days, two more customers called to place orders.
??So in the past few days, Su Anying took Huang Shengli and their daughter-in-law together to go to the market to grab goods, and when they came back, they picked grades and packed boxes. They were busy every day until late.
?? "How can it be hard to make money? Be busy. If you are busy, you have money to earn."
??We can't do anything, just serve the children. "Xu Chenghou is quite open-minded.
??The son and daughter-in-law are now spreading such a big stall, and they can't do anything else. It's better than anything else to take good care of the children.
?? "Yeah, let's not think about anything, just take care of the children.
?? That day, the third child asked me if I would like to open a store or something for the remaining two houses in the north.
??I told him, forget it, I’m too busy.
??We have something to eat and drink now, so what are we doing with that? "
??Zhou Guilan nodded. When you get old, don't think about being competitive. You should take good care of your grandchildren.
?? "Yes, you are right to think so, we are all at this age, why are you still making such a fuss?
?? It's not bad to take care of a few children and grow them up.
??My son and daughter-in-law are all busy outside, so let’s take care of the house and cook and take care of the house, so that they can have a warm meal when they come home, which is good. "
??Xu Chenghou has no other thoughts now, as long as his son and grandson are good, he is better than anything else.
??While the old couple were talking, Zhou Guilan put the food in the pot, then scooped out hot water, and called the children to wash their feet.
?? It was less than eight o'clock, and the children were sleepy, so they coaxed them to go to bed.
??It was past nine o'clock when Xu Shiyan and Su Anying entered the house. Neither of them had dinner, and they were so hungry that they ate and rested.
