Xiao Zheng, who came back from school, walked back with his sister talking and laughing. As a result, he saw the persimmon tree in his yard from a distance. There seemed to be many fewer persimmons on it.

When I got closer, I saw a man standing on it, picking persimmons.

He let go of his sister's hand and ran towards home.

"You can't pick persimmons!"

This is the persimmon tree planted by Aunt Fuyu in their yard. My mother said that Aunt Fuyu said that people in their family can pick it and eat it, but they must wait until the persimmons are ripe.

Aunt Fuyu didn't say that others can eat it, so he must stop the "persimmon thief"!

Yan Ziyuan climbed up the tree and was picking vigorously. Uncle Wu was picking it up from below.

Suddenly hearing the sound of stopping coming from a distance, the two of them stopped at the same time.

Wu Xingmin glanced at the bucket of persimmons next to him, and said to Yan Ziyuan on the tree: "Ziyuan, come down, the harvest is almost done, leave some for freshness when they are ripe."

Yan Ziyuan stopped what he was doing, took the scissors, and jumped down from the tree in three strokes.

Song Fuyu, who was peeling the persimmons, also heard Xiao Zheng's voice.

"The little guy came back. He must have thought that Ziyuan and the others were stealing persimmons, haha."

Xiaozheng wouldn't even let the fruits in their yard be picked, let alone the fruits planted in their own yard.

"Xiao Zheng, don't run away, be careful if you fall, that's your Uncle Yan!"

Song Fuyu put down the knife and walked to the courtyard door. When he saw Xiao Zheng running wildly, his eyes turned red and he hurried over to greet him.

"I was scared to death. I thought someone was stealing the persimmons."

After seeing Yan Ziyuan clearly in his yard, he stopped with peace of mind.

"With you as a little butler watching, no one dares to steal."

"Aunt Fuyu, I miss you so much, you are finally back."

"I miss you too, and I miss Tiantian too."

She waved towards Tiantian who was approaching.

"Let's play at our house first, and then go home after your parents come back."

The two looked at the strange "grandparents" in the yard and hesitated to go in.

"These are my grandparents. You can call them grandpa and grandma. They will live here with us from today on. From now on, when I go to work, you can come over and play with them."

"Great-grandpa, great-grandmother."

"Hey, so cute."

"Stop standing outside, come in quickly."

Song Fuyu went into the room and brought out a glass of water for each of the siblings. He also took a piece of paper for Xiao Zheng to wipe off the sweat that had occurred due to running too fast.

"Grandma, what are you doing?"

"Your great-grandfather and I will peel the persimmons and use them to make persimmon cakes."

"But isn't this persimmon underripe? Mom said that unripe persimmons are too astringent and cannot be eaten."

"To make persimmons, you have to use underripe persimmons. You can't make overripe persimmons because they are easy to spoil."

"It turned out to be so, I know."

"Sister, do you want to eat persimmons?"

"think."

"How about waiting for mom and dad to come back and let them pick some to make persimmons."

"I originally picked a bucket for your family, but when you shouted, I was so scared that I didn't dare to pick it."

Yan Ziyuan was teasing Xiao Zheng while carrying a bucket full of persimmons.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Yan. I didn't know it was you on the tree. I thought you guys hadn't come back yet. If I knew it was you picking them, I definitely wouldn't bark."

Seeing that Xiao Zheng was serious, Grandma Yan looked a little apologetic, and quickly explained with a smile: "Uncle Yan is teasing you. The bucket of persimmons he is carrying is for your family."

"When we finish sitting here, we can eat sweet persimmon cakes in more than ten days."

"Great, thank you, Uncle Yan, for your hard work."

"you are welcome."

He imitated the appearance of an adult and said words of thanks in a serious manner, which made several adults present laugh.

"Xiao Zheng, to thank you for taking good care of the yard for me, I brought you a lot of snacks."

"really?"

"real."

"Yeah! That's great! Thank you Aunt Yan."

Song Fuyu went back to the house and took out the snacks for their siblings. The bags were filled with snacks she had made in Beijing this time.

"I heard from your mother that you protected my dates and hawthorns, so in addition to the snacks I brought you, you can also pick some dates and take them home to eat."

She handed over the bag.

Xiaozheng saw that there was so much in a big bag and didn't dare to take it.

"Hurry up, you can take it back to eat with your sister later."

"Aunt Yan, there's too much, just give us a little bit to try."

Tiantian also helped Xiaozheng refuse. They could accept rewards, but they couldn't be greedy for more.

"Take it, I've already said hello to your mother, this is a deal between us, she won't say anything."

After they took the snacks, she brought a basin to the siblings and asked them to pick dates by themselves.

"Grandpa and grandma, you guys take a rest for a while. Uncle Wu and I will peel them."

The second elder was not polite in front of his juniors. He handed them the paring knife in his hand and stood up to stretch his body.

"Grandpa and grandma, do you have anything you want to eat tonight?"

"I can eat rice and noodles. I want to wash some fresh vegetables and eat them with sauce later. Looking at these vegetables all afternoon, I'm greedy."

In the past, Grandma Yan would definitely choose to eat rice without hesitation. After eating the noodles made by Xiao Yu, she suddenly realized that she didn't like eating them before just because they were not delicious.

"There are relatively few vegetables here. Tomorrow I will take you to the private plot. There are more than ten kinds of vegetables planted, and you can't even eat them. I plan to pick some, dry them, and save them for winter."

"Zi Yuan, is there anyone here who knows how to make a sieve? Drying mats are also fine. I want to make a few to dry things at home."

She used to take it into the space for processing, but now that her grandparents are here, it is obviously not possible to take it into the space.

"After dinner, I'll ask Xiaobai who knows what to do best."

"Tell him by the way, let the three of them come over for dinner tomorrow."

"Daughter-in-law, you are really not tired~"

"It's just extra bowls and chopsticks for three people, so it won't make you tired. We know Xiaobai so well, and it's not like we're entertaining them with a full banquet, so it's good to just have a bowl of noodles."

"Okay, I'll tell him later."

..........

Liu Aihua came back one step ahead of Li Hu.

She was also the first to see that there were a lot less persimmons on the persimmon tree in her yard, but she was not as excited as Xiaozheng, because she knew that it was Fuyu who had picked them without even thinking about it.

"Sister-in-law Liu, come here quickly and wash your hands and start working!"

When Song Fuyu saw her, he greeted her directly and unceremoniously.

"Why don't you let people rest?"

"Here, look at these unpeeled persimmons on the ground. They are all picked for your family."

"Our family can't eat so much."

She glanced at the pile of persimmons on the ground. There must be at least hundreds of them.

So many dried persimmons would cost at least 30 to [-] yuan at a supply and marketing cooperative.

“Our family picks more!”

"Don't worry about not being able to finish it. Store it well. It won't be a problem if it lasts for half a year."

"Xiao Zheng just said that we don't need to help, and we can wait until his parents come back."

"This brat is very capable of arranging work for us."

After Liu Aihua washed his hands, he took the knife from Song Fuyu with a smile, sat on the low bench and began to peel the persimmons.

"Let me tell you first, I don't know how to make persimmons. You have to teach me how to do it from beginning to end."

"You only need to prepare a large vat that can hold hundreds of persimmons to cover with frost, and everything else is very simple."

When Li Hu came back, he was also summoned to work in the Yan family yard.

Knowing that it was his boy who arranged the job, he pulled Xiaozheng over and said to him: "When the persimmons are ready, if you want to eat them, just spend a penny to buy them from your mother."

"what?"

"Do I have to spend money to buy persimmons?"

"Of course, it's your job, but your mother and I will do the work."

"Okay, just buy it, I have the money!"

Liu Aihua is very busy every day now, so she graded some housework according to difficulty and let her two children take charge of it themselves. Once completed, she will give them the corresponding level of salary.

This makes her relaxed, and the children don't have to be embarrassed to ask her for pocket money if they want to buy something.
