The things in the car Yu Yang was afraid that someone would take them, so he took away the main salt and some food, and put the other things in the car anyway, anyway, they have them at home.

The family at the bottom of the mountain passed Yu Yang's observation and there were only two people, an old woman and a child.

They are often away from home, and now it is autumn, so we need to store more food and firewood before winter comes, otherwise the winter will be difficult.

The winter in the last days is extremely cold.

Yu Yang began to guess that the old woman was an aboriginal villager in the village, but later found that she was overthinking it, because the old woman was not familiar with the village.

They didn't meet many times. Yu Yang and his family were busy taking back the crops in the field, and the old woman was busy taking the children up the mountain to find food and firewood.

Almost all edible and usable things around the village were searched by Yu Yang's family.

The corn at home was ready to be harvested, so Yu Yang took his family to the corn field.

Jian Fan took away the short soybeans with a sickle, and Yu Yang went into the corn field with a basket on his back to break the corn.

Many of the corn plants that Jian Fan was reluctant to throw away before survived, but the corn kernels were shriveled and the corn cobs were also small.

There is not much corn planted, and it was harvested in one morning.

The more troublesome thing is the corn stalks in the field, which will be planted next year, so these corn stalks must be cleaned up.

They have no oxen, and they do not know how to use plowing tools.

Today's young people like to go to the big cities, and those left in the countryside are old people.

Many tools used for farm work can’t even be named. Yu Yang was fortunate to spend a period of time in the countryside when she was a child. Gradually, she realized that the things passed down by the older generation are condensed wisdom.

He piled the cut corn stalks behind the house, and the underground root Yu Yang planned to use a hoe to slowly turn up the ground again so that he could plant other things.

She was hoeing in the corn field, while Jian Qiu and Yu Dong followed Jian Bao to collect red beans.

The recovered red beans and soybeans should be exposed to the sun, then be beaten with a mallet, and then poured into the bellows to blow off the shriveled and some other impurities.

The cover they used to thresh the wheat before was broken, and Yu Yang was not good at repairing it, and it was not easy to make it again. a little slower.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes are not in a hurry to take them home, and the millet will have to wait for a few days.

Yu Yang and Jian Fan finished their work and sat under the grapefruit tree peeling radishes to eat, their noses were full of the fragrance of grapefruit.

These fruits are festive, but they cannot be eaten because they are too bitter and the pomelo flesh has no moisture.

Jian Qiu and Yu Dong's fingernails are extremely hard, and they have to be cut with fruit tree scissors every time to cut them off.Their long nails are almost the same sharp hooks as before, but the size has changed.

"Mom! Mom! Let's go to the back of the house to pick yellow fruits!" Jian Qiu rushed over and shouted, shaking Jian Bao's arm.

Two days ago, my head got stuck in the iron gate, and there were slight abrasions on both sides of my head, which had already scabbed over.He came back after running around madly again, his hair was all wet with sweat, and the sweat dripped on the wound, which was a little itchy, Jian Qiu rubbed his head on Jian Fang's body: "Is it okay?"

Jian Fan deliberately wanted to tease him: "No, no, it's too far away."

"It's not far, it's just behind the house, you only need to go up the stairs and walk fifty steps." Yu Dong hurriedly explained from the side, she was afraid that the two adults, Jian and Bao, would not go.

At that time, Yu Yang and Jian Fan never thought about what kind of education their children would receive in the future, what kind of life they would have, as long as they lived well in the last days.As long as they can get things done right now.They have no plans for the children's future, and they can only teach the two children what they know in their day-to-day life.

Counting and simple addition and subtraction taught Yu Yang tired, so he had to ask Jian Qiu and Yu Dong when they were helping with work, 'How many pieces of firewood did you bring into the house? ''How many rice balls did you eat? ''There are some little birds on the wire over there'

Gradually, the numbers within [-] can be sorted out clearly, and when the number increases, the two children will answer indiscriminately.

"No, no." Jian Bao still shook her head.

Yu Dong held a piece of white ground radish in her hand, and she didn't eat it. She licked her mouth and thought for a long time before saying, "There are a lot of birds on the tree. If you don't pick them up, they will all be eaten up by the birds."

"Auntie, I'll go." Jian Fan pushed Jian Qiu's head away, brushed away his wet hair, and looked at the scratches on his temples and the back of his head.

Yu Yang: "If you don't have a basket on your back, what can you put fruit in?"

Yu Dongsan finished eating the radishes in his hand and ran into the house, dragging two big baskets, and said, "Let's go."

Yu Yang stood up and looked at Jian Bao: "Are you going to pick persimmons?"

"Okay."

It was always extra noisy with two kids around, they would talk all the time, and sometimes babbled and sang songs out of tune when they were too happy.

There are three persimmon trees growing here, and the fruits on the trees are so heavy that the branches are bent.There were many birds perched on the branch, Yu Yang broke off a ripe persimmon and divided Jane's mother in half, her movement shook the branch, and a flock of birds flew from the branch.

A layer of leaves fell on the ground, and several rotten fruits fell under the tree, attracting a bunch of ants.

The ripe persimmons are too sweet and have a special fragrance. Yu Yang spat out the skin of the persimmons in his mouth and looked up at the bright yellow fruits.

In the past, Grandma would use persimmons to make persimmon cakes. Yu Yang could eat a big bag of sweet ones. She used hard persimmons that hadn’t softened from the tree, the kind that could make people cry with one bite.

"Mom, this fruit is not ripe, it's not tasty, bah bah bah!" Jian Qiu said in surprise.

Yu Dong silently glanced at the yellow persimmon in his hand, the taste was not bad, not as bad as Jian Qiu said.

There were too many of these fruits, and Yu Yang wanted to take them back to make persimmons.

Yu Yang looked at Jian Qiu, who was climbing on the tree, and Yu Dong, who was under the tree, and sighed: "The red ones are soft and sweet, and the yellow ones are not ripe yet."

After speaking, he started to pick up the persimmons. The persimmons could not wait for the fruit to ripen on the tree, otherwise they would be eaten up by those birds.Unripe persimmons will become soft and sweet when taken home and buried in chaff for a period of time.

Jian Qiu saw the child with only one eye, and he swallowed his saliva looking at the red fruit in Jian Qiu's hand.

Due to the reason of shedding scales, the skin under the child's loose clothes is full of red spots, which should be itchy and scratched by himself.

Jian Qiu looked at the two adults who were busy, and quietly rolled over the fruit in her hand. The mud was soft and the fruit was not scratched.

"Sweet." Jian Qiu whispered.

The child ignored Jian Qiu, picked up the fruit and left.

Jian Qiu looked at the direction he left and pouted, chattering a lot by herself.

But soon Jian Qiu was attracted by the beetle lying on the rotten persimmon. He slowly stretched out his foot to step on the bug, and the sharp pincers of the bug caught his little toe.

It doesn't hurt, but it's fun.

But it didn't take long for Jian Qiu to quickly drive away the bug on his feet. The bug didn't know what kind of bug it was, and it stinks to death.

"Little Mom, what's wrong with Jian Qiu?" Yu Dong looked at Jian Qiu who was bouncing around in place, his big green eyes were full of doubts.

"I don't know." Jian Fang put three persimmons into the basket and said.

Yu Dong stopped paying attention to Jian Qiu after watching it for a while, and asked Jian Bao to help pick some sweet persimmons, she wanted to eat sweet persimmons.

After taking the persimmons back, Jian Fang was afraid that the two children would be greedy, so she told them: "If you want to eat persimmons, take the ones in this small pot, you hear that?"

Jian Qiu nodded, he was already full when he picked the persimmons, so the fruits in the small basin were not very attractive to him.

Yu Dong rolled his eyes and nodded accordingly.

The picked persimmons should be peeled, and then the persimmon stems should be tied with cotton thread or hemp rope, hung up and placed in a cool place for ventilation. After the persimmons become soft, they should be kneaded occasionally to exhaust air.

The peeled persimmon skins are dried on the wooden boards in the yard, and will be used to cover the frosting when the time comes.

Judging from the current weather here, it will take at least a month before the icing comes out.

The three persimmon trees bore too much fruit, Yu Yang and the others picked some of them and left them alone.

Yu Yang and Jian Fan sat under the grapefruit tree to peel the persimmons, and she saw the old lady at the foot of the mountain and the blue-eyed child also pick the persimmons.

The child's eyes kept looking at the door of Yu Yang's house frequently, but he didn't see the two figures he wanted to see, so he turned his head to talk to the old woman.

There were many strings of persimmons hanging on the beams of the house. Yu Dong stood on the stool and was hanging new strings of persimmons. The little girl kept giggling, not knowing what fun things happened again.

Jian Fan stood up and poured the persimmon skins filled in the dustpan on the wooden board and spread them out. Those dogs had long since disappeared, leaving Rhubarb and another black dog lying on the eaves, groaning and sticking out their tongues. .

The kitten that Yu Yang had placed by the stove was snatched away by the big cat, and it hid it on the cabinet where the sundries were placed. It didn't know where to find a piece of rag to make a nest for the kitten.This gray cat is even more arrogant than Da Huang, who now wags its tail whenever it sees Yu Yang, this cat doesn't even bother to give it a look every time it passes by.

If it is hungry, it will squat on the window next to the kitchen and "meow" and the people in the kitchen will give it some food when they hear it. Fortunately, it is not picky eater.

Ever since there was a cat at home, it may be the cat's meow that caused the rats to panic. Yu Yang hasn't seen a rat for a long time.

Yu Yang thought that Rhubarb was very close to the old woman at the foot of the mountain, but she realized that she was overthinking it.Rhubarb doesn’t like to follow the old woman’s family. It used to like to follow Jian Qiu because Jian Qiu liked to feed it. The reason why the mother-in-law called it to go out that day may be because Yu Yang and the others were away during the time The old woman is feeding rhubarb.

Now that Yu Yang and the others are back, Rhubarb sometimes goes down the mountain for a walk, and then goes home to sleep.

Sometimes Yu Yang thinks that Rhubarb is a dog with a special personality, and it can understand what people express.

Fearing that Jian Qiu and Yu Dong would not hurt themselves by peeling the persimmons with a knife, Jian Fan only asked them to help pick out the persimmons in the basket and turn over the sun-dried things in the yard.

But after these things are done, there is nothing to do. Yu Dong came over and squatted aside to watch Yu Yang Xiguo's technique. He bit off the skin and spit it out, then slowly swallowed the persimmon meat into his stomach.

After eating a persimmon, my mouth is a bit astringent, but I can bear it.

After eating two persimmons, my mouth is a little numb. I should be able to eat two more persimmons.

When she ate the third persimmon, a lot of saliva was secreted in her mouth. She only felt that the skin in her mouth was wrinkled, and she didn't feel much.

The half-bitten persimmon fell to the ground and cried out with a 'wow'.

"The mouth is broken!" She raised her head and wiped her tears with one hand on her eyes.

Jian Qiu was so frightened that he dropped the picked leaves on the ground. He looked at Yu Dong who was crying so sadly, curled his lips and was a little at a loss.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Jian Fang hurried over and hugged Yu Dong in his arms.

The little girl was crying so sad, she spoke intermittently: "Mouth... mouth... numb, no... feeling..."

Seeing the half-bitten astringent persimmon on the ground, he hugged Yu Dong in his arms and softly coaxed him.

Why is he disobedient? He clearly told me to eat persimmons and eat the ripe persimmons in the small pot, so he insisted on doing it against him.

Yu Yang made two cups of honey water, one for Jian Qiu, and one for Yu Dong who was still in pain with tears on his face.

"Hey, after eating the sour oranges, little Yu Dong wanted to eat astringent persimmons, now his mouth is numb, and he died tragically." Yu Yang scolded Yu Dong with a smile.

She wasn't annoyed, she just promised to listen to my little mother next time.

Jian Bao grinned: "Listen to mom, astringent persimmons are really bad."
