This time passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

While Mu Chaoge was busy, the summer harvest arrived, and this time the grain came from 130 acres of land.

Everyone on the farm has stopped working for the time being, and is now rushing to harvest the crops before doing anything else.

The golden millet piled up in the drying yard.

Da Zhuang and his friends all got tanned, and so did A Hua and the other kids.

Because everyone is busy with the summer harvest.

Even Ah Hua and the others were not idle, running around doing what they could.

Everyone is waiting for the grain to be stored in the warehouse!

As a result, the atmosphere on both farms was both happy and tense, and they were busy with the summer harvest every day.

Mu Chaoge was also inexplicably nervous, but it was impossible for her to go to the fields to harvest the crops herself, so she could only ask Zhang and Little Zhang to work hard to make some food for everyone.

"We must have white rice for every meal, and the rice soup must also be saved. There must be plenty of meat and vegetables, and sweet soup must be available at all times. We must make sure that everyone has good food and drink!"

Mu Chaoge gave the order and told the two of them to prepare the best food.

Sugar is a precious thing these days.

not cheap.

But Mu Chaoge was willing to give it up because sugar is the best way to replenish strength, especially when the weather is so hot.

Mrs. Zhang and Little Mrs. Zhang did not dare to slack off at all.

She was busy in the big kitchen every day, working with other women to prepare delicious food.

Others are busy working in the fields every day.

Finally, after twelve days of harvest, all the crops in the fields were harvested.

Looking at the golden rice on the drying ground, everyone couldn't help but smile. But they couldn't be careless because there was still the step of drying the rice.

After it is dried sufficiently, you can weigh it, pay part of the grain tax, and keep the rest for yourself.

"We are so lucky this year! There was enough rain earlier and we were worried that it would affect the new rice. But we never thought the weather would be so good later, allowing us to harvest all the rice smoothly!"

"I have lived for so many years, and this summer harvest is the most comfortable one for me. It is not uncomfortable at all. I eat and drink well. The weather is also good and it does not delay the summer harvest."

"Isn't it? Our Third Miss is really lucky. Since she came to take charge this year, everything has gone smoothly."

"That's it!"

"Miss Third is a very kind person. This is the first time I have been treated like this during the summer harvest. The food is really delicious, and Aunt Zhang's cooking skills are impeccable!"

"I am so hungry when I think of this braised fish now. It goes really well with rice! I hope that when the summer harvest is not over, I can eat braised fish every day!"

"Hahaha, won't you be bored to death by then?"

Everyone was chatting here while watching over the millet in the drying yard.

Originally he planned to only grow rice on the new farm, but after hearing Lu Xingzhou say that there was some unrest in the capital, Mu Chaoge decided to plant grain on the thirty acres of land on the old farm.

We have to work hard to store food.

The summer harvest is not only rice, but also sweet potatoes, which are planted on the hillside.

You can also collect a lot.

Mu Chaoge thinks sweet potatoes are also important and are grown specifically to feed pigs and other livestock.

Sweet potato leaves can also be fed.

In addition to feeding livestock, the surplus can be eaten by ourselves and can be made into sweet potato flour for storage later.

There is much to be gained in the meantime.

The farm's granary was filled to the brim with a lot of food.

When Uncle Cai reported to Mu Chaoge, Sister Dujuan and Xiao Taozi couldn't help but smile, Nanny Zhou was also very excited, and Mu Chaoge was also smiling.

"Very good, then we will do as we said before. We will pay the tax and keep some for ourselves. Finally, we will divide it in two, sell a small part and secretly store the rest. Don't let anyone know."

Uncle Cai nodded, indicating that he understood. "Don't worry, Third Miss. I have already given instructions as you said. Everyone knows what to do."

Mu Chaoge nodded with relief, "Okay, by the way, divide a few more portions out of it, send some to grandma, just for her alone, and send some to my uncles and aunts, and Uncle Qiao will also need some."

She asked Uncle Cai to collect some of each agricultural product, pack them up and give them to everyone.

Uncle Cai quickly went to do it.

After the summer harvest.

Mu Chaoge finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been extremely busy recently.

My hands are sore from drawing and writing.

Madam Zhou came over to serve her, rubbing her fingers and pressing her arms. "Look at you, you are exhausted, right? It's only because the old lady hasn't had time to come over recently, otherwise, I don't know how I would talk about you, young lady."

Xiao Taozi hurried to pour tea, "Miss has been talking to Uncle Cai for so long, she must be thirsty!"

Sister Du Juan also said, "Shall I go and arrange some warm water for Miss to take a bath? It will help her to relieve her fatigue."

Everyone is tired recently.

Mu Chaoge began to doze off. "You guys should stop working so hard. Take a rest when you have time. It's been hard for everyone recently. We are all exhausted."

Summer harvest is really hard work.

Even though she had arranged for Zhang and Little Zhang to improve the food supplies, after the summer harvest, everyone on the farm had lost weight.

Thin and dark.

Who made the sun so strong this summer?

Nanny Zhou and the others followed her around, and were also busy running around, which was not easy.

Mu Chaoge also took Madam Zhou's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Aunt Zhou felt embarrassed, as did Sister Dujuan and Xiao Taozi. "It is only natural to work for the master. Miss, please don't be so polite."

All three of them are quite shy.

Mu Chaoge chuckled, but then he narrowed his eyes and yawned due to sleepiness.

Nanny Zhou quickly brought her a pillow to lean on, and helped her lie down, "Don't go get a warm bath, Miss is exhausted, take a nap first."

Xiao Taozi brought the tea over. Mu Chaoge took a sip and lay down. "Yeah, I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep for a while. You don't have to stay by my side. Go and have a rest too. Let others do the same."

Madam Zhou covered her belly with a thin blanket and fanned her, "Oh, my little ancestor, stop worrying and go to sleep."

Mu Chaoge closed his eyes and fell asleep in an instant.

Xiao Taozi couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "The young lady is so worried about these grains. Not only is she busy dealing with things every day, but she is also always thinking about them."

This was mentally and physically tiring. No wonder she collapsed from exhaustion after the summer harvest.

Madam Zhou signaled Xiao Taozi to stop talking, "You two should go and have a rest."

Everyone is tired during this period.

inevitable.

Seeing this, Dujuan nodded and took Xiao Taozi to the small room next door to rest.

The whole farm fell silent.

Except for the people who were looking after the food, everyone else was basically taking a quiet nap.

Occasionally, the sound of people laughing could be heard.

Speak softly.

**

Not long after the summer harvest was over, Mu Chaoge's relatives and friends began to receive gifts one after another.

The freshest fruits and vegetables, new varieties of rice, as well as chickens, ducks and geese.

Lu Xingzhou and Feng Shi couldn't help but be surprised. There were too many things. And they were so fresh! The fruits and vegetables were so juicy! They looked so beautiful!

at the same time.

In this hot summer, Feng's child was born.
