After the brigade was busy with the pond, just a few days later, everyone began to get into the hot summer harvest again.

Not to mention that although they are in difficulty here in the south, they do not encounter any famine years. Although everyone says they don’t have enough to eat, they rarely say that people starve to death. After all, there are two seasons of food in the south a year, the summer harvest. With the autumn harvest.

At this time, everyone was really, really tired, but they were happy, especially looking at the bags full of grain. Although it had not been dried yet, it could already be seen that it was a good harvest year.

Moreover, everyone worked hard this year and did not let the rice fall in the fields. The day after their team finished harvesting the rice, it rained heavily again. Although it had rained several times a while ago, it always rained in bursts. It passed. This time it was a heavy rain. If there were grinders, they would lose even the rice grains that fell on the ground.

Although this kind of weather has delayed the drying of rice, at least it is stored in the warehouse of the brigade. The rain will always stop. I heard that some brigade in the commune next door were slow to harvest, and ended up not finishing the harvest in time.

The rice has been harvested. Although the rain has stopped, the sun is not very good yet, and the ground is wet. Obviously, the conditions are not yet ready for drying the rice, so the brigade simply takes off work to give everyone a rest, which is just enough to relax. At this moment, a group of people were chatting with stools.

After all, the sun has been so strong for several days, and it is very hot every day when I work in the fields. Everyone sweats as much as if it were raining. Fortunately, the brigade has boiled a lot of sage water, plantain water, etc. for everyone. Drink it while working, otherwise you will definitely fall down from heat stroke.

It just happened to rain heavily in the morning. Although the rain has stopped, there is not much sunshine, and the temperature has just dropped. We are all gathered outside talking about the mountains. I don’t know how comfortable it is, especially considering that the warehouse has just been filled. The smile on everyone's face is a little deeper than usual.

"Have you heard? There is a brigade in Linshui Commune who did not finish harvesting rice yesterday. They may have fallen to the ground now."

"Really? Tsk, tsk, tsk, even though we are not from our brigade, it makes me feel so sad to think that so much food is thrown into the ground and cannot be picked up. In the end, it can only be eaten by chickens."

"Yes, fortunately we were lucky and we just finished collecting it, otherwise we would be the ones crying now."

"Who says it's not? Otherwise, it's up to me, Uncle Niu. Da Zhuang knows how to look at the sky and tells him that he has been bored for a few days and is afraid of rain. These days, all the kids in the work team can use it. Call us over, otherwise we will probably be in trouble right now."

"Yes, yes, it's our Uncle Niu who rarely makes mistakes in his decisions. Look at that brigade, when the time comes to distribute the food, he will probably cry."

"Who said it wasn't."

"By the way, have you heard..."

Lin Qiuxia is no longer interested in listening to the gossip of these aunts anymore. After listening to it too much, it feels boring. Since the pond was dug, there is no need to listen to the gossip over there. Lin Xiaze is now at home, and Lin Qiuxia has nothing to do. They spent all the time together with Lin Donghai and instigated Lin Xiaze to take them to play on the slopes.

After all, with one more adult, she can rest assured on Lin Donghai's side.

Lin Xiaze has been busy with team work since he came back. Now that he has half a day of leisure time, he is happy to take his younger brothers and sisters out to play. After all, he takes care of the younger two more and has a deeper relationship.

In addition, every time he comes back, his younger brothers and sisters love to cling to him and talk sweetly, which makes it even harder to refuse the little requests of the two little ones.

"Come on, Third Sister, give me the bag. Just keep an eye on Fourth Sister."

"well."

The siblings were told by the second brother and promised not to run around. After being obedient, Lin Xiaze finally agreed to take the two little ones out for a walk. No matter what Lin Xiaze said at this time, the two little ones could answer. Not vague at all.

Although Lin Xiaze would not take them as far as their father and uncle went, it was still much better than they usually did, and there were often people going to the slope here, including many children, so don't think about game or anything like that. , one is that the probability is too low, and they are unlikely to encounter it in the first place, and the other is that it is a place with frequent human activities. In fact, except for snakes in places with lush grass, there are very few animals.

Many animals are very smart. After all, you only do it to eat, while others do it to live.

The three brothers and sisters took the cloth bags with their belongings and set off. It was not sunny today, so there was no need to wait until the afternoon to go out.

Lin Qiuxia watched her brother being exaggeratedly teased by the aunt in the village about the thin young man when he came back. After working for a while, he was now so dark that he had caught up with the uncles in the village, and she secretly laughed behind her.

After all, although Lin Xiaze said that he had labor classes at school, his time was limited after all. There were only a few and a half afternoons a week, and the county town was not as good as the countryside. Many labor classes were about farm work. There were all kinds of labor in the county town, and not everyone They all need to bask in the sun, so when Lin Xiaze first came back, he was like a glowing white light bulb when he stayed with his family.

It's not that Lin Xiaze became famous in vain, it really depends on his family to support him.

Not long after the three people went up, Lin Xiaze found something good based on his experience and eyesight.

"Second brother, be careful."

Lin Qiuxia and Lin Donghai stood under a big tree, looking at Lin Xiaze with eager eyes. They watched Lin Xiaze pick the wild fruits one by one and put them in the cloth bag tied to his waist, and their mouth watered.

Lin Donghai, a yes man, also shouted:

"Second brother, you have to be careful."

"I know, please pay attention to your surroundings and don't stand directly under me. If my hand slips and I drop a few, I will hit you."

"alright, I got it."

The two siblings responded, but did not move.

The wild fruit Lin Xiaze is picking is mangosteen, but this is what they call it here.

After this kind of mangosteen matures, the skin of the fruit will slowly turn yellow, and the yellower the skin, the higher the maturity and the sweeter the taste.If it is not ripe, the taste of mangosteen will become extremely sour. Only when it is truly ripe will it become sweet and sour.

However, many children cannot wait until the fruit is fully ripe, so they often eat it sour and astringent. However, children nowadays have no intention of snacking at all, so they eat it with gusto even if it is like this.

This mangosteen is also known as golden mangosteen or yellow tooth orange.

The name Huangyaju comes from its characteristics.If you eat it, your teeth will be covered with a layer of yellow.If you see someone with particularly yellow teeth, it may be caused by eating mangosteen.

Why is Lin Qiuxia drooling? Because she has never eaten this thing in all the time she has been here. She ate it once or twice in her previous life when she was seven or eight years old, so when she met it now, her eyes were filled with tears. It's shining.

In particular, Lin Xiaze said that although many mangosteens are blooming at this time, the fruits are still small. This lesson is also rare. The fruits on the trees are already very ripe, and the flesh is probably very sweet.

For a deep fruit lover, seeing edible and delicious fruits is simply more enjoyable than seeing a piece of edible fat.
