For the Wang family, Wang Rui's marriage was temporarily forgotten because the autumn harvest was coming.

Whether the harvest is good or not directly determines whether this year can have a bumper harvest year.

Wang Yuanshan has been in a good mood recently, because he has seen his own field, the rice ears are bent and the grains are full, and he knows that the harvest is good at a glance, although there are only three acres of land, but this harvest can at least collect about four stones per acre, and after paying the field tax on three acres of land, there can be a thousand catties of rice.

After this bumper harvest, I went hunting in the mountains, and after thinking about it, I could finally have a good year, so that the two children could be happy and happy like other children in the village, and they didn't have to be wronged.

At the beginning of August, the people in the village who have a lot of fields have started to harvest rice in autumn early, and some families have cut a few fields, Wang Yuanshan saw that the rice ears were ripe, and took Wang Rui to the field to cut rice, Jinwen wanted to follow the field to help, but naturally he was still rejected, in the words of the third uncle, Jinwen is wearing coarse cloth clothes and looking at the style of everyone's ladies, the rice leaves in the rice field are cut, anyway, there is not much land at home, and it will be over in two or three days without her help.

Jin Wen was happy to see Wang Yuanshan, knowing that the harvest was in sight, and seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, he was also happy to be busy at home.

On the morning of the eleventh day of the first month of August, Wang Yuanshan took Wang Rui to the field to start cutting rice, less than two hours, more than one acre of field was cut, Wang Yuanshan let Wang Rui cut first, set up a rice machine by himself, and began to beat rice, the rice was piled up in the field, the weather was still hot these days, in case of rain, the rice was rotten, it could be a lot of losses, only to lay the rice back home, this is insurance. I brought nine large cloth bags with me, and they filled them up at once.

The two of them had just finished working on an acre of land, Wang Rui looked up and saw Jinwen wearing a white linen dress, with a simple bun on her head, a light-colored head rope, the sun shining on her head, and behind her was a yellow rice field that had not yet been harvested, carrying a small bamboo basket and a pot of water, with fair skin and a layer of pink, just like the little fairy who walked out of the painting.

"Dad, Brother Huzi, it's time to eat." Jin Wen stood on the ridge and shouted.

In autumn, the tiger weather is hot and prone to heat stroke, Jinwen specially brewed mint tea, and when he wanted to bring it out, he filtered out the mint leaves, which was cool to drink and quenched his thirst, and the meals were also light. Wang Rui promised to run out first, the sun was too hot, he was wearing a short coat, revealing his dark arms, the first time Wang Rui showed his arms in the summer, Jinwen also felt embarrassed, once in the riverside laundry far away saw the big cow shirtless this upper body coming, frightened she picked up her clothes and ran home, after all, men and women are seven years old at different seats, and later saw that the men in the village are like this when it is hot, and the girls in the village are not surprised, and she gradually got used to it.

After eating, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks and planned to go home, Wang Rui saw that the sun was hot, Jinwen's face was red, and she was afraid that she would get sunburned, so she took off her hat and let her wear it to shade the sun.

"It's just a little bit of a road, no need, you wear it yourself, and you have to cut rice in the afternoon, it's not okay to dry it all afternoon."

"It's okay, I'm used to the sun, it doesn't hurt to sunburn, and besides, you can see that there is only so much left, and it won't take an afternoon to cut it."

Wang Yuanshan also asked Jinwen to wear it back, but Jinwen had to put on a hat and told them to go home early. On the way, I met two sisters, Chunye and Chunhua, although Chunye is to be married, but the autumn harvest of their field is too busy, she still has to help cut a day or two of rice, a long time without visiting, Chunye beckoned Jinwen Mid-Autumn Festival to worship Buddha together, and pulled Chunhua to go home hurriedly.

Wang Yuanshan and Wang Rui were busy until the unitary time, and then they stepped on the afterglow of the sunset and went home, and no one would steal the rice when it was thrown into the field.

In the next two and a half days, the three acres of land were cut and the rice was dried. The sky is beautiful, from the tenth day of the first day is a sunny day with a big sun, to the fourteenth, Wang Yuanshan pulled the rice to the barn field, borrowed someone's windmill to blow off the miscellaneous leaves, clean rice reloaded, the family put a big barn in the west house, this year finally filled the barn again. In the past, when there were more than ten acres of land at home, the barn could not be filled, but now the barn is full, and there are only two bags left outside, but compared with last year, this day has been much better, and when you save money, you can slowly buy back a few acres of land.

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is rare to rest at home for a day, the Luhua chicken raised at home hatched a nest of chickens, raised six, nine chicks that eat a lot, simply released out of the hospital to let them go to forage for food, Jin Wen remembered what Chunye said about going out to worship the Buddha, got up early in the morning and hurriedly cooked a meal, told Wang Yuanshan Chunye to go out about going out, Wang Rui heard that he went out, happy, and hurriedly said that he wanted to accompany her, Jinwen refused, and went to the girl's house, Wang Rui followed it inappropriately.

Puji Temple is not far from Wangjia Village, close to Xiashan Village, is the first big temple in this ten miles and eight townships, everyone says that the Bodhisattva in the temple is very effective, walk past from Wangjia Village, about half an hour away, every August 15 such time, there is a temple fair in the temple, the girls in the nearby villages will be in groups of three or five, invite each other to go to the temple fair. Jinwen used to go to the temple to worship the Buddha, are to follow the mother and take the next person to go, even if the temple does not refuse other pilgrims, but at least no one will collide, if several families go together, every time they burn incense to worship the Buddha, the ladies sit and listen to the master's scriptures, and they and other ladies look at the scenery in the temple and drink tea and chat, at that time they are young and have never gone out alone. I heard that there are many vendors outside the temple fair in Puji Temple, and she has never visited this kind of temple fair seriously.

Wang Yuanshan looked at Wang Rui's wilted appearance, smiled and took twenty yuan and handed it to Jinwen, the temple fair is the time to be lively, many vendors outside the temple will sell some rouge gouache needles and threads that little girls like, it is difficult to go out, so that she can buy and play with what she likes. Jin Wen hurriedly said no, she still collected the more than 100 yuan for selling eggs.

"Silly girl, this is given by my father, and you can collect the money yourself." Wang Yuanshan said angrily, Jinwen had no choice but to take it down.

After coming to Wangjia Village, this was the first time Jinwen went out with his sisters, changed into clean clothes, put on thick-soled embroidered shoes, put the twenty yuan given by Wang Yuanshan into a small purse, and carefully put away the purse and ran to Chunye's house.

A group of five people, the two sisters Chunye and Chunhua, Osmanthus and Jinwen, set off with Tian's sister-in-law. Sister-in-law Tian is going to the temple fair to set up a stall to sell some small purses made at home or something, follow her, several adults are also relieved, only tell not to get separated, go home early, a few people, osmanthus is eleven years old, Jinwen is ten years old, Chunhua is only nine years old, Chunye is only sixteen years old, flower girl, everyone laughs all the way to go, walk very fast, look at the hour, about the beginning of the hour, to the end of the hour is almost there.
