At this time, the autumn harvest is about to start in the land, and the garden is almost done.

Early fruits like cucumbers and persimmons are about to be harvested. Only the leaves on the top of the seedlings are green, and the leaves below have long withered. It is the same in Jiandan's garden. Cucumbers and persimmons need to be pulled out, and the early beans are out of season and need to be cleared. Early potatoes need to be dug up to make room for autumn vegetables.

Although there is no rush for other things, they are basically mature.

Eggplants and peppers are also in season. Even if they are not pulled out now, they will not grow again.

The cabbage and radishes planted in spring should also be harvested. At most, watermelons can last for a few more days. The sweet stalks that the children have been longing for are also red. If the children are at home, they can be eaten in three to five days.

The sunflower seeds on the edges are also cut off by Jiandan with a sickle and placed in a large winnowing basket to dry.

There is no rush for the squash on the side of the stick. It will be in time to harvest it before the frost.

There are also a few scattered black and black mushrooms, which are simply left untouched. The children will come back in a few days, and they are all left for the children to pick and play.

Not only are the adults busy, but Huzi also led a group of children to help them. It is time for the autumn harvest on their land.

The land is not big, but it grows really well. A small half of it is watermelon, and the rest is planted with sweet potatoes, potatoes and a little peanuts. At this moment, the watermelon vines are still green, and the vines of peanuts and potatoes and sweet potatoes are a little withered and yellow, but when they are pulled up, there are bunches of fruits underneath, and the children are very excited.

Peanuts were not planted in the village before, and they were not planted much, but they are familiar with potatoes and sweet potatoes. They are planted every year, and every family has them.

But the feeling of having grown fruits from adults is different from the ones grown by oneself. Several children were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They kept jumping and checking with Jian Dan.

"Sister Jian, are they all ours?"

"Can we eat them all? Can we eat watermelon too?"

"Will we be scolded if we eat them?"

After all, these are different from the wild fruits on the mountain. Those are just snacks. No matter how much you say, they can't satisfy your hunger.

But these are different. These can fill your stomach. Not to mention the drought two years ago, a sweet potato or a potato were treasures.

Peanuts and watermelons are even rarer things for them. Their parents may not have eaten them. Even Hu Zi and the others tasted them last year with the help of Jian Dan.

They were very excited when they planted them in spring. When they saw the fruits, the older children were unsure. They were old enough to understand that these things were good things. How could they get them?

Seeing their eager eyes, Jiandan patted his chest and said, "The land is mine. You planted it yourself. If I say it's yours, it's yours. Who dares to steal it?" "Wow! That's great!" "With so many sweet potatoes, we can have several meals." "Watermelon, sizzle! I want to have a bite to see if you are sweet?" They were not in danger, so Jiandan stopped guarding and did not disturb them. The children, big and small, were motivated and had endless energy to work. Their faces were red from tiredness, and their heads were soaked with sweat, but no one complained of being tired. However, they were children after all. It was time to eat, and they had only done half of the work. Jiandan did not take care of it and said that they would leave food for them. They had just harvested the crops and were excited. There was no need to add icing on the cake. "Sister, we will come after class tomorrow morning," There was warm water in the yard, and a few pairs of black hands changed color as soon as they went in. "Okay, then, shall we take these things away?"

After working for half a day, the children were hungry, and their eyes were shining when they saw the food. However, they were used to Hu Zi being the leader, so they all looked at Hu Zi.

Hu Zi scratched his head,

"How about taking some back? Otherwise, I'll let you work at home tomorrow, right?"

Today, they picked sweet potatoes. Several children picked three or four big ones each. Finally, seeing that they were reluctant to leave and couldn't walk, Hu Zi waved his hand and gave each of them a watermelon.

After working for half a day, they were still excited when they left. That energy was exactly the same as the expression when they received the year-end bonus. Before leaving, Hu Zi also told Jian Dan,

"We will continue to do the rest tomorrow, you don't have to help us."

Jian Dan waved his hand with a smile,

"Yeah, don't worry, I won't do it."

Jian Dan always thought that this was the result of the children's own labor, and no one would be shameless enough to grab it, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face soon.

Just as she finished cooking, the door was knocked "bang bang". There were dogs barking in the yard and shouting outside the door. It was a mess.

Jiandan frowned and opened the door, speaking rudely,

"What are you doing? How did my door offend you?"

The momentum was so strong that the person on the opposite side was frightened and stepped back several steps.

"Jian, Jian Zhiqing,"

It was a daughter-in-law from the village. Jiandan was not familiar with her and had hardly dealt with her. Seeing the other party coming aggressively, Jiandan could not think of what could happen, so he blocked the door and asked directly,

"What's the matter?"

The person on the opposite side, Wu Lianhua, immediately stood up straight, and raised her foot to take two steps forward. Looking at Jiandan's dark face, she was thinking. After two seconds of thinking, she still stood there without moving, but her voice immediately rose, and her momentum was so powerful,

"Jian Zhiqing, you can't be so mean to your child, can you? You let the child work for you for a whole spring and summer, and you only gave him a few broken sweet potatoes and a watermelon. Aren't you bullying the child?"

Jian Jian raised her eyebrows,

"Did your child say that?"

To be honest, among those children, Jian Jian could only name Hu Zi, Xiao Hua and Hei Dan, and a child named Shi Tou, who seemed to be from Liu Erye's family or someone else's family. She just knew the faces of the other children.

But she never said this, and she didn't do this, so she naturally couldn't recognize them.

Wu Lianhua put her hands on her waist and raised her head.

"Can that child still lie? Jian Zhiqing, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Our family and you Zhiqing are not outsiders. You can't bully people like this. You, you are not acting like a landlord or a young lady?"

Jian Jian's eyes suddenly turned cold. If she really did this, it would be hard to explain. Thinking about it, there was no warmth in her words.

"I say, auntie, let's not say that we are strangers. How can you say that you are not an outsider?

Besides, who told you that your child worked for me?"

Looking at the people following behind, Jian Jian was not polite. It was obvious that those who could be with such people were all foul-mouthed.

"Or do you mean that you have evidence to prove that I bullied him?"
