After all the crops in the field are collected, they should be dried and threshed, which are very troublesome and trivial things.
But while doing this, we can''t leave autumn ploughing behind.
It''s easy to turn over the ground, pick up the roots inside, and then break up large pieces of soil, but it''s quite tiring.
After ploughing, we have to plant winter wheat before it rains.
We should not only plant winter wheat before the rain, but also gather the farmers who are drying at home before the rain.
This busy period is interspersed with a festival, so that busy people can take a little breath.
This festival is the Mid Autumn Festival.
August 15 is a fine day, with high sky, light clouds and sunny customs.
As soon as we look at the sky, we know that we can enjoy the moon at night.
August 15 is the reunion day, and I have to eat moon cakes.
Moon cakes are troublesome to make and need an oven.
Of course, the Yu family didn''t have an oven, so after breakfast that day, Xu Shuhua went to the county.
Yu wennuan didn''t go with him, mainly because he didn''t have a car.
The village head''s family is also going to the market in the county today. They should take their children with them and can''t lend them to the Yu family.
Yu Hai and his family want to work at home, so they can''t go to the county together. Yu wennuan doesn''t want Xu Shuhua to hold her, so they don''t go at all.
She is not light now. She has more than twenty kilograms.
Xu Shuhua would be exhausted if she walked back and forth with her, plus her shopping.
Yu wennuan is reluctant to let Xu Shuhua suffer.
When Xu Shuhua goes to the County alone, he also has the advantage of going alone. He goes quickly and comes back quickly. He doesn''t buy less than he should buy.
Of course, among the many foods bought, moon cakes are the big head.
The fillings of moon cakes can be roughly divided into two types, one is the five kernel fillings of the old moon cakes, and the other is the fruit fillings that have only become popular in the past two years.
I like the second kind.
Yu wennuan likes both jujube paste and pineapple bean paste.
At Xu Shuhua''s age, they prefer the old moon cake with five kernel stuffing. They say that the more they chew, the more fragrant they are.
You can''t eat too many moon cakes. Eating too much is not easy to digest, and you can''t support your stomach.
So Xu Shuhua just took out a few cuts and gave them to a group of children, one by one.
Yu wennuan wants to taste every flavor, so the small piece she holds is smaller. The sum of the three flavors is as big as the one Yu Wei eats.
In the evening, I had a big dinner and enjoyed the moon in the yard.
The moon is extremely round, not only round, but also very big and bright.
With the moon, the stars lose their luster and can''t be seen without looking carefully.
In mid August, the night was already a little cold. After watching outside for a while, Xu Shuhua drove a group of children back to their respective houses to sleep.
The beds of Yu''s brothers and sisters are covered with quilts made of cotton and cloth newly bought this year, which are soft and warm.
Because it was still not very cold, it was covered with a thin quilt.
Xu Shuhua covered Yu wennuan with a quilt, turned off the light and closed the door. Then she went to her house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Yu Zhenmin standing up from the bench in a hurry.
Seeing Yu Zhenmin''s action, Xu Shuhua was also startled, "what''s the matter, are you?"
"It''s okay, it''s okay!"
Xu Shuhua looked at Yu Zhenmin several times up and down, and suddenly realized, "I know. Do you want to smoke secretly?"
