Autumn harvest is undoubtedly the most tiring time. No matter how strong a man is, he will lose several pounds and feel as if a layer of skin has been peeled off his body after a harvest.

Except for the old lady, Zheng Xiaoman and Xiao Chunya, everyone else in the Zheng family went to the fields to harvest wheat.

They have too much land, and even if they hire people it still isn't enough.

Zheng Xiaoman and her grandmother would prepare delicious meals for them at home every day, at least to ensure that the family members would not suffer from excessive health problems.

She also specifically found Manager Cao and asked him to help buy some ginseng.

These wild ginsengs are not of old age, so they are perfect for making soup to nourish the body.

Of course, she used spiritual spring water to stew this soup, and the ginseng was just put on the surface for others to see.

Zheng Xiaoman did not treat Tietou and the others badly. He asked two older women to prepare delicious food for them every day to nourish their bodies.

There is no shortage of chickens and ducks at home, and everyone is guaranteed to have meat and soup every day.

The Zheng family was busy. Except for the youngest Chun Ya and the little girl who accompanied her, everyone was busy from morning till night.

Wang Degui's injuries had not yet healed, but he had no choice but to go down to the fields with his family.

As for the injuries on his body, he lied to his family and said that he fell when he got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

For this, he was scolded by the old man again, who said that he was a waste and that he could get himself into such a bad state just by getting up in the middle of the night.

Wang Degui shrank his neck when he was scolded, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Because everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, he didn't have time to steal from other people's homes.

Moreover, after suffering two losses in a row, he felt that he and the Zheng family were in conflict, so it would be better for him to stay away from them.

Although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to have any evil thoughts anymore.

The autumn harvest lasted until the end of October, when all the crops in Zheng Xiaoman's fields were harvested.

The backyard of his home is filled with bags of sweet potatoes. Zheng Dashan is leading his men to dig the cellar bigger, otherwise all the sweet potatoes will not fit in.

Zheng Xiaoman picked out all the sweet potatoes that were damaged when digging and put them separately. These sweet potatoes could not be kept for long, so he kept them for himself.

She asked someone to take out some sweet potatoes, wash them and cut them into pieces, which would be used to make starch and vermicelli.

The vermicelli made by her family last year had long been eaten up. When Zheng Xiaoman thought of vermicelli, the idea of ​​pork and sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli immediately came to her mind.

The sauerkraut hasn’t been pickled yet, but in fact, it’s also okay to stew pork vermicelli with blood sausage.

Zheng Xiaoman couldn't help but slurp her saliva and decided to eat pork stewed with vermicelli once this batch of vermicelli was ready.

It just so happens that the workshop has freshly slaughtered pork and pig blood every day, so I can let the new people in the family taste the vermicelli.

When the sweet potato harvest comes next year, she will start making vermicelli in large quantities.

Thinking of this, she remembered another thing.

She walked to the backyard, and Zheng Dashan just climbed out of the cellar.

Zheng Xiaoman hurried over to help him up, "Dad, why do you have to do it yourself?"

There is no shortage of people working at home now, but her father just can't stop for a moment.

Zheng Dashan laughed and said, "I am not old, I can't stand it if you ask me to do nothing now."

He has been working for half his life, and even if he has a day off, he feels uncomfortable all over.

Zheng Xiaoman didn't argue with him. After all, his father was strong and healthy now, so he could do the work if he wanted to.

"Dad, I want to ask you, when will our family tell the village about the sweet potatoes?"

She wanted to open a vermicelli workshop, and the sweet potatoes from the small piece of land at home were definitely not enough.

She had calculated before that it would take more than eight kilograms of sweet potatoes to make about one kilogram of vermicelli, so the sweet potatoes in her family were still a little insufficient.

When every household in the village has planted sweet potatoes, she can buy them all.

Zheng Dashan sat aside, took off his shoes and knocked off the dirt inside, "I've been thinking about this. Let's talk about it after the autumn harvest is delivered."

Zheng Xiaoman had no objection to this, "Dad, you have to arrange for someone to bring back the sweet potatoes from my aunt and my grandmother's house in the next few days.

Next time when Manager Cao comes to pack the sweet potatoes, he will take theirs away and sell them first."

"Okay, I know about this, don't worry."

Zheng Dashan said to his daughter with a smile, his eyes full of relief.

After Zheng Xiaoman finished talking about the business, he smiled and said to his father: "Dad, when you are fine, can we go to the capital city for a walk?"

She has been here for more than two years, but she has never been anywhere except this town.

A few days ago, Yang Shuhuai, who lives next door, went to study abroad. That day, my brothers and others went to Yang's house for dinner to see him off, but Zheng Xiaoman did not go.

But the next morning when Yang Shuhuai left, she couldn't help but go to see it secretly.

It’s not that she was reluctant to let Yang Shuhuai go, but she really envied him because he could go out and walk around and see the world.

Yang Shuhuai left the village alone, carrying a bag, to see the wider mountains and rivers outside.

Zheng Xiaoman was so envious that she even wanted to follow the other person.

She has lived in modern times for more than 20 years, but in fact she has never even taken a train.

She has lived in an orphanage since she was a child, and her food and schooling were donated by others.

After graduating from high school, she started working. She had to work and support herself. If she didn't work, she would have to sleep on the street and go hungry.

It can be said that she did not dare to stop and rest for a single day in the 365 days of the year.

Later she became a chef and finally earned more money and no longer had to worry about going hungry.

She had originally planned to take a break and go out for a walk, but ended up running here before she could do so.

After that, she continued to make money. Now she had money, but her identity as a girl meant that she could not travel around and see the world.

Zheng Dashan saw his daughter looking at him expectantly, so how could he refuse?

"Okay, wait until your brother and Lixia have their day off, and then our family will go to the city to stay for two days."

Zheng Xiaoman jumped up happily and ran over to hug his father. "Dad, you are so kind. I will go tell my mother right away."

Seeing his daughter running away happily, the old father Zheng Dashan was still laughing foolishly behind her.

When Zhou Chunfeng heard her daughter say that the family would go to the city the day after tomorrow, she asked in surprise, "Why are we going to the city all of a sudden?"

Zheng Xiaoman hugged her mother's arm and said, "Mom, I just want to go and take a look. I have never been anywhere except this town since I was a child.

I heard from my brother last time that the city is very, very big, and they sell all kinds of things that we don’t have here.”

In fact, Zhou Chunfeng had never left this town, and she couldn't help but feel moved when she heard her daughter say that.

"Okay then, go ask your grandparents if they want to go with us."

Zheng Xiaoman sighed and went to find her grandparents happily.

The old couple were more open-minded than the young people, especially Mrs. Zheng. Now she had no burden at all, so she happily agreed.

In this way, the whole family agreed to go to the provincial capital.

Zheng Xiaoman was excited and happy. Isn't this just a family trip?

When she was a child, she always heard her classmates say that their parents took them to various places during summer and winter vacations.

At that time, she imagined, if she had a family, where would her parents take her to play?

Then she would smile bitterly. If her parents didn't want her, how could they take her out to play?
