manner. How could they send such an incompetent servant to forcibly buy and sell"Of course it was this servant who overstepped his bounds, smearing the face of his master. I merely helped the Princess...Jia Yin wasn't hungry at all, and even wanted to help out, but her chubby arms and legs just wouldn't cooperate; she didn't have much strength.

Everywhere is full of stubble, in case you step on it, it will also cause trouble for the family.

But watching everyone busy, it's really boring.

Thus, everyone walked around back and forth, only to see Jia Yin sitting and munching on snacks, lying down and munching on snacks, and then... holding the snacks and falling asleep!

The chubby little girl, with sky-high braids adorned with golden bells, wore a red top and green pants, exposing her plump little hands and feet. She lay there in the warm autumn sun, basking in the joy of harvest.

Every passerby couldn't help but slow their pace, unwilling to interrupt the child's beautiful dream, and afraid to ruin this miniature of a perfect life.

Li Laotai took off her outer garment and fetched two baskets to build a simple tent for her granddaughter, fearing the autumn wind would chill the child.

When Jia Yin woke up, it was already dusk.

The wheat on the mountain had almost been harvested, leaving behind a bare and patchy sight. In contrast, the remaining fruit trees seemed to be in full control, standing tall and proudly in the autumn wind, showing off their splendor.

Li Lao Si carried a burden on one shoulder and his daughter sat on the other, smiling as he went down the mountain.

Behind her, Li Lao Tai called out, "Walk slowly, don't fall, Fu Niuer."

Jia Yin hugged her old father's head and laughed gleefully.

Guests in the valley hurried back to the city in their carriages. Seeing the vast fields of golden grain drying in the sun, the villagers' unrestrained smiles couldn't help but evoke envy.

"This place, Sùjīn Tān, used to be a wasteland, nobody wanted to look at it twice. Now it's completely changed!"

"Indeed, who could have imagined that a group of refugees from the north would turn this place from waste into treasure."

"They've cleared this land, so the imperial court doesn't collect taxes, but they've taken advantage of the situation."

"It's because they are willing to work hard."

"That's right, I've been here several times. I can see clearly that there are no idle people in this village."

The villagers may not know that they have become the envy of others. Busy and exhausted from the autumn harvest, after a filling meal in the evening, everyone except those on duty for patrol went to sleep early.

Tomorrow, we will continue harvesting grain. It will take about three days to finish, and then we will harvest sweet potatoes and peanuts.

Sweet potatoes are easy to come by, and each family treats them as staple food.

But peanut needs to find a good way out, it can't just be eaten as a snack, that would be a waste.

All the harvest from the fields was brought back in, and without stopping, they hurried to build a school.

In winter, the weather is cold and there isn't much to do. The children are all herded into school to study reading and arithmetic.

Previously, some families felt sorry for the tuition fees and didn't send their children to Li's school.

In the valley, if you want to work as a clerk, you must be able to write menus and calculate accounts. Their family's sons cannot do this, they can only follow farming in the fields.

This would make their intestines turn green with regret. Just bringing it up will cause a family feud.

Since the school building hasn't been completed yet, these families are determined to send all their children, regardless of gender, there.

They have a good memory. Whenever they write something down, it's always beneficial and never harmful!

Compared to harvesting grain, harvesting peanuts and sweet potatoes is particularly exciting for the children because...they can eat them!

Just now, with peanut vines pulled out of the ground, peanuts were shelled to reveal the peanuts inside. Taking a bite, it was still slightly tender, with an indescribable sweet flavor.

And there's also freshly dug sweet potatoes. Just find some dry grass and burn a pile, bury them in the fire, wait for half an hour, and you'll have fragrant roasted sweet potatoes to eat.

Youngsters like Jia'an and Jiaxi couldn't bear the excitement in the fields. When things were quiet on the mountainside, they would run back.

It's called helping, but it's actually just an excuse to cheat.

Jia Yin was sandwiched between her brothers, sitting on the soft sweet potato seedlings, staring at the fire, eagerly waiting to satisfy her hunger.

After the near-disaster of almost roasting their sister on a stone, Jia'an and Jiaxi learned their lesson. This time, they kept a tight hold of their sister, firmly preventing her from getting close.

Finally, after the fire had completely died down, seven or eight sweet potatoes were unearthed.

The sweet potato's skin was as black as charcoal, but when you broke it open, the inside revealed a pale yellow flesh, steaming with heat. It was truly a hundred times more fragrant and sweet than eating it at home.

Jia Yin held a sweet potato, its heat hissing as it steamed. She was burned but still unwilling to let go.

When Mrs. Cui and Qiao's wife arrived at the field carrying a tea basket, they almost didn't recognize that the little black boy in front of them was Jia Yin!

The chubby girl was covered in dirt, her two small hands were grimy, and her forehead, nose, and mouth were all smeared with black. When she smiled, a row of white teeth shone brightly!

Then look at the Happy Family's children, they are only blacker and dirtier, there is no blackest or dirtiest.

Mrs. Cui laughed, covering her stomach, "Are you roasted sweet potatoes, or are you roasting yourselves How did you all get so dirty!"

Jia Anjia Xi was considered a half-grown boy now, and knew shame. He quickly wiped his face twice, but they forgot about their hands which were even blacker, leaving them looking like flower cats.

When they finally met, they pointed at each other and laughed while rolling around on the ground.

Jia Yin held a piece of sweet potato in her mouth, her smile bouncing along with it. Finally, she brought the sweet potato to Cui's Madam's lips.

Mrs. Cui sniffed the sweet potato, couldn't help but take a bite, and smiled with her eyes narrowed, "This year's sweet potatoes are really delicious."

She dabbed Jia Yin's face with her handkerchief a few times, then hugged her and went to find Li Lao Tai.

Li Lao's wife was just sitting there picking peanuts when she saw her granddaughter like this, she couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"It's really not good to let the children of the family, Anjia and Xixi, come here. Every time they leave, Fu Nuer is left battered like a lump of dirt."

Jiao Yin stuffed the remaining sweet potatoes into grandma's mouth and giggled, "Brother roasted it, it's delicious!"

The old woman swallowed the sweet potato and scolded with a smile, “I know, you ugly girl. You don’t want to say anything nice about your brother, do you Are you trying to shut me up”

Jiayin hugged the old woman's neck and twisted in her arms, "Brother is good, grandma is even better!"

"That's about right!" The old lady patted her granddaughter's chubby little bottom and carefully shoved a fresh peanut into her mouth, instructing, "Chew slowly, be careful not to get it stuck in your throat."

"Having said that, she handed the remaining peanuts to Madam Cui, "Has dinner been prepared at home Things have been so hectic these days, I'm afraid we've caused you inconvenience."

"Of course, sister-in-law, things are busiest during the harvest season. Everyone needs to lend a hand. We may not be able to do much else, but we can at least cook some meals."

Mrs. Cui slowly ate peanuts, looked up at the azure sky, and sniffed the scent of a bountiful harvest in the wind. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Auntie, what a wonderful day this is!"

The old woman also laughed along, “That’s right, actually, every family just wants to live a simple life. They don't have any big ambitions like wanting wealth and glory. All they want is for the family to be together, safe and sound, with enough food and warmth!”

Mrs. Cui remembered what happened with Wang, her heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to change the subject. Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the village.

She instinctively stood up, guessing that something might have happened with Wang Yuanwai's side.

It was evident that Li Lao Er was also worried, and he ran up to meet him directly.ess of training, said one day: "What could possibly be so important that it would kill us On such a cold winter day, they don't even let us rest. We run about in the wind and snow every day like fools...
