After a few more days of this, we finally had continuous sunny days.

As you all know, the rainy season is over.

The clan leader Fang Yunping began to organize everyone to harvest rice.

According to the method the masons told them before, the water in the rice fields was drained a few days ago.

Now the inside of the rice fields has been somewhat dried out by the sun these past few days, so you won't have to step in the mud as soon as you enter.

Take the newly purchased sickle and start harvesting.

Due to the limited number of people and the limited amount of land cleared, we only managed to open a few dozen acres of land in total.

In addition, when planting for the first time, the land was not very fertile, so the yield was not high.

After two days of work, everyone collected it all. They also dug out the straw stubble below and dried it on the open ground, so that it could be used as firewood.

Of course, there are also fields that were opened in the later stages of the rain, but they were planted late and it was not yet time to harvest.

They fertilized the last crop of crops with some rotten leaves from the woods. When I first lived here, the manure collected was not enough. The harvest should be better next year.

Because the fertility of nearly 60 acres of land was insufficient, more than 4,000 kilograms were harvested, which is equivalent to a yield of several dozen kilograms per mu of land.

But this is already good for them. After all, when they planted wheat, the yield was only more than 100 kilograms. That was still the yield of the top-quality fields that had been planted for many years.

It’s already great to be able to grow these in this newly opened wasteland.

Because of the water released from the rice fields in the past few days and the water flowing from the reservoir, a ditch was formed from the outside of the wall to the roadside.

I didn't realize it before, but now the water is accumulating more and more. After several months of accumulation, the ditch is getting wider and wider. Although it is not deep, some small fish have appeared in it.

I don’t even know where these fish came from, but the children were happily catching fish in bamboo baskets.

Because the ditch is not deep and it is not far from home, you can hear it if you shout, so the adults gave them instructions and let them go.

Of course, the key point is not to get all muddy. It would be too expensive to wash too many clothes, so you should save some.

The eaglets haven't gone to the mountains to play in the past few days. Jiayin caught two small fish and fed them to them, which whetted their appetite. They thought they were much more delicious than the mice and rabbits caught in the mountains.

I fell in love with this bite, so I circled around a group of children. From time to time, it flew up and circled twice, and then landed next to the children.

The children have become accustomed to it and know that the eaglets will not hurt themselves. They are not afraid at all and even touch the feathers of the eaglets from time to time.

The older children rolled up their trouser legs and got into the water. The younger children dug up earthworms on the edge of the ditch. After digging out the earthworms, they put them in bamboo baskets and asked the older children to go down into the ditch. This would attract small fish to swim in on their own.

There weren't many small fish in the first few days, so I only caught one or two occasionally and fed them to the eaglets.

There has obviously been more in the past two days, and it can be baked and eaten.

It's just grilled on a stone slab with a stone frame. To be honest, it doesn't taste good at all. It has no other taste except fishy.

It's just the fruit of the children's own labor, and it tastes particularly delicious.

Only Jiayin knows that she got these small fishes.

She brought some from the pool in the mountain to this ditch just to play with everyone.

The largest small fish are only as long as a child's hand, and there are a lot of grass and stones in the ditch. There are hiding places, so it is not very easy to catch. You can only wait for the small fish to swim in by themselves.

After placing the fish basket, everyone will go to other places to play and wait for a while before coming back to see if there are any fish. If they are in the water or around the edges, the small fish will not swim into the bamboo basket.

The children are now familiar with this area and know that there are no villages or homes on either side. Now they are getting bolder and bolder. Instead of playing near the village, they ran to an open space about a mile away.

There are many big rocks and clumps of thin bamboos there, and everyone likes to play hide-and-seek there.

Today everyone came here to play again. There were a dozen children here, including Fang Cuicui, Fang Zhiqiang, and Fang Zhigang. They all helped with the work at home.

Today, the eldest among the children is Fang Zhiyuan. He is already eight years old this year and is already considered a sensible eldest child at this time.

There were several children about his age, and a group of four or five-year-olds.

After being told not to go into the mountains, and reciting the snake-repelling formula before entering the grass, we started playing hide-and-seek together.

This time it was the turn of the good news to be counted and hidden by everyone. She would not cheat and use her spiritual sense to detect it. She covered her face and counted seriously.

Because she always made mistakes in counting, she invented a method, which was to count ten to ten. When she counted to ten, she closed one finger. When her little hands turned into fists, she could go looking for them.

Several people around her age have also learned this method, otherwise they would really be unable to play.

Jiayin counted carefully, and a bunch of children hid.

From a distance, I saw a short little girl standing there alone, covering her eyes, as if she was crying.

At this time, an ox cart drove slowly not far away. On the ox cart, a middle-aged woman and a young man driving the cart were seated.

They saw a lonely little girl from a distance, standing in the open space by the roadside, covering her face and crying.

The two looked at each other, and when they got close to the car and stopped, the woman jumped out of the car and walked quickly to Jiayin's side.

He asked with a loving look on his face: "Little girl, why are you here alone? Where are your adults?"

By this time, the number of good news had already reached 100. He put down his little hands clenched into fists and was about to go find everyone.

When I looked up, I saw a woman running towards me, asking her where the adults were.

Jiayin rubbed the eyes that she had just covered and looked at the woman with red eyes.

I saw that this woman had a round face, small eyes with single eyelids, a round nose and mouth, and she was looking at me with a smile.

Although she looks very kind on her face, Jiayin just doesn't like her for some reason.

He replied perfunctorily, "My master is collecting grain at home, are you okay?"

The woman took a step forward and walked up to her.

Now I could see Jiayin's appearance clearly, and I felt a little confused that there was such a cute little doll like Yuxue!

Her skin is white and translucent, her delicate eyebrows are almost flawless, and her hair is jet black and thick, combed into two small buns with two ribbons tied on top.

If she hadn't been wearing ordinary cloth, she would have thought she was the daughter of a rich family.

Seeing Jiayin's innocent and ignorant face, the woman looked around again and found no one else, so she picked her up and said, "It's too dangerous for you little baby to be alone here. Why don't you give it to your aunt?"
