The weather in June is getting hotter and hotter. Farm work is mostly done in the morning and evening. Except for some mischievous monkeys, no one else will run around in the village at noon.

"On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the sweet potatoes are ripe. On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the sweet potatoes are rotten," several children sang as they ran.

Sui He was sitting in his own yard. When he heard the nursery rhymes, he immediately stood up, rushed into the yard, put on his straw hat, picked up the basket and ran out.

How could she forget? There are delicious foods on the mountain at this time.

"Brother Chen, what is she doing?" Old Ning looked at Sui He, who was in a hurry and moving very quickly, and asked his grandfather in confusion.

"Her, don't worry about her, she will be back soon." Grandpa also heard the songs of the children in the village. Seeing Sui He like this, he thought there was nothing he didn't understand, so he shook his head with amusement.

"This kid will be scolded again when he comes back later." Grandpa was sitting in the yard playing chess with Old Ning. The chessboard was brought by Doctor Ye. After playing a few games with Old Ning, Grandpa was attracted. Seeing that Grandpa was interested, Old Ning offered to teach Grandpa how to play chess. This was a big deal. Now Grandpa would pester Old Ning to play a few games every day.

Sui He ran to the field with a basket. She used to go back to her hometown every summer vacation to dig sweet potatoes. The red and fragrant sweet potatoes were best eaten by breaking them open with hands.

Some sweet potatoes contain not only seeds but also protein. It is easy to get protein by just eating them without breaking them open.

Therefore, Suihe has a love-hate relationship with this kind of food.

This kind of sweet potato grows most on slopes, crawling on the ground, with dense patches of sweet potato vines.

Sui He squatted on the ground, pushed aside the leaves with his hands, revealing the densely packed fruits at the roots, one by one, clinging to the ground.

Sui He carefully took it out with his hands, wiped it, peeled it open and saw that there was no prize inside, then put it in his mouth.

These sweet potatoes are very sweet and fragrant. Sui He eats them one by one.

The sun was getting brighter and brighter. After a while, sweat started to appear on Sui He's forehead. Without further delay, he squatted down and began to search bit by bit.

There were a lot of sweet potatoes, and Sui He quickly picked half a basket. The sweet potatoes were very fragile and could be easily crushed. Sui He stopped after picking half a basket, and happily walked home carrying the basket.

Passing by the stream at the door, Sui He poured all the sweet potatoes into it. Sui He placed the basket downstream, and the cool water carried the sweet potatoes into Sui He's basket.

I picked up the few that didn't drip and put them in my mouth, then walked home with the still dripping basket.

Sui He stood at the gate of the yard and was afraid to go in. He held the basket in his hand and wanted to hide behind it.

"I've seen it, what's the point of hiding now?" The granny stood at the gate of the yard with a bad look on her face.

Sui He smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, grandma, why are you standing here at noon instead of taking a rest?"

"You also know it's noon." Grandma smiled and made way for him, saying, "Come in quickly."

Sui He swallowed her saliva. The situation was not good. Although her grandmother was smiling, she had no choice but to go home.

"Grandma, please listen to my explanation." Sui He smiled and moved towards his grandmother step by step. The moment he entered the door, he put down the basket in his hand and ran to the yard: "Grandpa, help!"

"You're still running. Running up the mountain in the middle of the day. Aren't you pretty capable?" When the grandmother saw Sui He running away, she raised the bramble and waved at Sui He, saying, "Today I'll let you know what it means to be a good person under the bramble."

"Grandma, I was wrong. I'm a girl, you can't hit me." Sui He ran around the yard. What a joke! The yellow broom stick was her nightmare since she was a child. Why would she be chased by someone holding a yellow broom stick after traveling back to ancient times?

When she heard Sui He say that she was a girl, her grandmother laughed angrily: "You also know that you are a girl. I thought you forgot. Look at the girls in the village. Is there any one like you?"

"Girls your age stay at home embroidering and never go out of the house, but you are doing everything, climbing trees and swimming in the river." The more the grandmother spoke, the angrier she became. She picked up the yellow broom and started chasing Sui He.

“Grandpa! Ahhhhhhhhh!” Sui He shouted towards the house as he ran, hoping someone would come out and save him.

"On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the sweet potatoes are ripe. On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the sweet potatoes are rotten. When the queen comes, she farts and smashes them to pieces." Grandpa and Old Ning sat in the house, watching the lively scene in the yard: "These kids only remember the first part, why didn't they think about the second part?"

In June, not only is the sun scorching, but all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains will come out. Sweet potatoes are a small matter, but what if they bite the children? That's why there is the following sentence: When my mother comes, her bottom will be beaten to pieces.

"Brother Chen, aren't we going out?" Elder Ning was listening to the noise outside in the room.

"No need, they will be fine after a while." Grandpa asked Ning Lao to sit down and ignore the outside world.

Sure enough, after a while of noise in the yard, it died down. Not long after, Sui He came in carrying washed sweet potatoes.

"Grandpa, Mr. Ning, come and try some." He pushed the sweet potatoes in front of Grandpa and the others. Grandpa picked up one, broke it open and put it in his mouth. Mr. Ning also imitated Grandpa and put it in his mouth.

"Yes, it is indeed good. No wonder you would rather be beaten than not get this."

"This matter is over, it's over." When Sui He heard Ning Lao say this, he immediately looked outside and whispered to the two of them after confirming that no one was around.

In June, not only sweet potatoes are ripe, but also small tomatoes in the fields are ripening one after another. Bright red tomatoes are hanging on the branches.

Suihe's tomatoes and peppers are growing well. Since the tomatoes were planted, the villagers of Qingshan Village would come to see them whenever they had time. After all, they had never seen these two crops before.

Sui He had already greeted everyone in Qingshan Village when the tomatoes began to bear fruit. The things in the field were given to her by Manager Li to try to grow them, to see if they could grow anything. Moreover, the seeds were rare and expensive, and she couldn't afford to pay for them if they were lost.

He also warned the children in the village not to eat anything they had never seen before, or whether it was poisonous or not.

Fortunately, the children in the village all listened to Sui He. Even if they didn't listen to Sui He, there were Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, the other children who were the leaders, so the rest of them didn't dare to move even if they wanted to.

Now, these small tomatoes are finally ripe. Early in the morning, Sui He took a basket and went to the field.

"Suihe, I'm going too." Ning Lao also followed. Recently, Ning Lao especially liked to follow Suihe everywhere.

Wherever Suihe goes, he goes there

"Mr. Ning, is your foot okay? Doesn't it hurt anymore?" Sui He looked at Mr. Ning's foot with a half-smile.

"Well, I'm much better, but I can't walk fast. Please walk slower and wait for me." Mr. Ning stopped and stood there looking at his ankle.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you just stay at home and rest? Why are you coming out with me?" Sui He put a pair of scissors in the basket and walked towards the vegetable field.

Ning Lao smiled and said, "I'll go help you. I can't just stay at your house and eat and drink for free. I have to do something." He also took the basket and walked to Sui He, signaling her to leave quickly.

Sui He laughed and walked towards the vegetable field.
