Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Yunrong and Lu Yunqi were very grateful for the Su family's help and just wanted to wait until their own rice was harvested.

They also went to help the Su family when they were harvesting corn.

After Yun Rong finished her work in the workshop in the morning, she hurried to the fields. All the Su family members came to help, and it would be unreasonable for her, as the host, not to hurry up.

Lunch was prepared by Old Lady Su and Su He.

It was all hard work, so Su He put in a lot more rice and cooked the porridge thick, which was very filling.

The beans grew fast some time ago, so Su He picked a lot of them and made sour beans.

I picked two peppers, chopped some garlic, washed and cut the sour beans into small pieces, and fried a large bowl of them. It was so comfortable to eat with porridge in this weather.

Thinking that the job cannot be done without meat, Su He cut two strips of pork belly, added vermicelli and cabbage, and stewed it until it was soft. The vermicelli and cabbage absorbed the gravy and tasted even more delicious than the meat.

Then I fried two quick dishes. Just as they were done, I saw Su Bai coming back.

Old Mrs. Su had to stay at home to watch over the millet drying in the yard. There was a lot of food, and Su He couldn't carry it all by herself, so they agreed in advance that Su Bai would come back at mealtime and carry the food to the fields with Su He.

As soon as he entered the yard, he picked up the kettle on the table, poured a full bowl of water, and drank it all up with a "gulp".

His head was covered in sweat, and judging from his appearance, he must have jogged all the way back.

Now it is autumn harvest time and everyone is rushing to come here on time. The sooner they can harvest the rice, the sooner they can feel at ease.

While Su Bai was resting, Su He packed all the food into the backpack.

"Grandma, we'll go to the fields to deliver the food."

Su He turned around and gave some instructions to Old Lady Su, and then the two of them quickly walked towards the fields.

"Grandpa, uncle, come over and have a rest. It's time for dinner."

"Aunt Rong, Brother Lu, come over for dinner."

Su He walked to a tree not far from the rice field, put down the basket on his back, and shouted to the people who were still busy working in the fields.

When Old Man Su heard the voices of Su He and Su Bai, he waved to everyone, indicating that they should go upstairs to rest for a while, have lunch, and then continue working.

"It's really too much trouble for you to come here to help and let you cook."

Yun Rong looked embarrassed and thanked the Su family.

It was even more embarrassing to see that Su He had actually cooked meat dishes.

"We've been neighbors for so many years, it's only natural. Come on and eat."

Old Man Su wiped his sweat, and a gust of wind blew past him, and he immediately felt much better.

"Yes, Arong, there is no need for our two families to talk about this. Didn't you help us when we were in such a difficult time?"

Xie smiled, filled a bowl of porridge for Yunrong, and handed it a piece of meat.

Lu Yunqi sat silently beside Su Zhiyan, listening to the comforting voices of the Su family, looking at the large bowl of pork belly, and then looking at Su He who was smiling, with an unclear expression in his eyes.

At this time, I was very grateful to the Su family. Not only did they come to help them, but they also cooked and delivered meals to them.

Ordinary people may not be willing to afford such a large bowl of meat and vegetables.

"What are you thinking about? Come on and eat. This pork belly Ah He made today is very delicious."

Su Zhiyan put some meat into Lu Yunqi's bowl, interrupting his thoughts.

After lunch, everyone relaxed a lot and went back to the fields to harvest rice.

The Lu family does not have much land, and today the entire Su family came to help, so they harvested all the rice in their own fields in one day.

On the second day, the Su family went to the fields to harvest corn without stopping.

Yunrong asked Old Mrs. Su to help her family take a look at the millet drying in the yard, then she took a sickle and followed Lu Yunqi to the Su family's cornfield.

"You seem to have a lot more corn than last year."

Yun Rong quickly broke off an ear of corn and threw it into the backpack beside him, while saying to Xie: "There are also sweet potatoes planted in this field. I see that there are quite a few of them."

This was the first time Yunrong had seen this method of planting, but when he took a closer look today, he saw that it was indeed a great harvest.

It seems that they can also plant like this next year, and they can get a lot more harvest from one piece of land.

Moreover, the sweet potatoes can be sold to the Su family’s workshop, which can also bring in a lot of income.

Xie responded to her with a smile.

I was very happy in my heart. Although the sweet potatoes have not yet been harvested, just looking at it along the way, I estimated that it is almost time.

The results are much better than in previous years. I didn’t expect that Su He’s method could at least double the yield.

For a moment, in the Su family's field, everyone's face was filled with unconcealed joy.

If we succeed this time with the method Su He suggested, we can plant the crops in all the fields this way next year, and the family won’t have to worry about food shortages anymore.

After a few busy days, they harvested all the corn in the field, cut the stalks, and laid them out on the edge of the field to dry.

This marks the beginning of the sweet potato harvest.

Looking at the green sweet potato vines, everyone in the Su family has begun to get eager to try.

They all wanted to see how many sweet potatoes they could harvest from this land.

As Old Man Su waved his hand, everyone hurriedly picked up their sickles, harvested the sweet potato vines, and tied them into bundles.

Su He said, this can be used to feed pigs, so don't waste it.

Later, the Su family caught two piglets and brought them back to raise together. It used to take a lot of time to chop food for the pigs every day, but now they can save a lot of trouble.

After cutting all the sweet potato vines, you can see that many sweet potatoes have already emerged.

I picked up a hoe and shoveled away the surrounding soil, and the sweet potatoes were exposed.

Harvesting sweet potatoes is different from harvesting corn. Everyone digs carefully for fear of damaging them by accidentally shoveling them.

Finally, looking at the piles of sweet potatoes piled up together like a small hill of earth, the Su family grinned from ear to ear.

The harvest looks like it's at least twice as much as last year. Many people passing by the Su family's sweet potato field stopped and watched.

Looking at those piles of sweet potatoes, it’s really hard to believe.

Originally, the Su family planted sweet potatoes in the cornfield, which caused a lot of laughter among the villagers.

People say the Su family’s planting method is a mess. I hope they won’t end up not being able to grow corn and sweet potatoes well.

Unexpectedly, I was proven wrong. The Su family harvested a lot of corn a few days ago, more than many other families in the village.

No, they have to plant it this way next year!

That evening, while the Su family was still having dinner, the village head came to their door.

"Why are you here? Come and sit down. Let's eat together. I'm from the old house. Go get some bowls and chopsticks."

He must have come here for something important at this time, Old Man Su thought as he gave instructions to Luo.

The head of the village waved his hand quickly, stopped Luo who was about to stand up to get the bowl and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "No, no, I've eaten. I came here to discuss something with you."

The head of the village was somewhat polite in his words, but Old Man Su was still a little confused.
