The rice should be harvested in the next few days, what is better than summer is that the weather is not so hot, and it is much easier to do the work, the three of them have cut five acres of land in less than two days, and Yan Shaojie also netted back a lot of rice fish, loaches and yellow eels. Yan Yan doesn't have to look at the sky from time to time like in summer, he is always worried that it will rain, but now he doesn't need to.
After harvesting the rice, Yan Qingshan dug up the yams, and the potato seedlings were all used to feed the pigs; Sweet potatoes can also be dug up, and sweet potato vines can also be fed to pigs, so there is no worry about pigs not eating in winter. The crops in the field have been harvested, Yan Qingshan planted potatoes, in previous years, he had not bought wasteland, so he had to plant potatoes in the water field, this is a big effort, now there is no need to be so troublesome, all ten acres of land are planted with potatoes.
Now the work in the village is almost done, Yan Qingshan doesn't have to go out early and return late, he can help Yan Yan dry rice, corn, and peanuts, and the corn needs to be ground after the corn is dried, and the peanuts also have to be squeezed for oil.
Everyone saw that the crops had been harvested, and their faces were full of joy, Yan Qingshan and Yang were the happiest, and the hard work of the year finally paid off, "Mother, we will sell it this year, and we won't sell it next year," Yan Yan's selling vegetables is always not easy to grow.
"I think so too, I've made a lot of money this year, I'm buying some land, and I won't go out to sell it next year," Yang agreed, how could anyone who was not angry about this business? I also have to accompany a smiling face, and it is better to be tired and tired at home than outside, if it weren't for the fact that my family had less land, I wouldn't have to go out to suffer this sin.
"It's all my uselessness to make you suffer," Yan Qingshan felt that he was useless, and let his daughter-in-law go out to suffer.
"Daddy, I won't be studying next year," Yan Shaojie thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.
"Brother, what are you making a fuss about? Isn't it in vain that I've only been reading for a year? Our family will have a better life next year, we can count on you to be promising," Yan Yan felt that although Yan Shaojie came back to work, he actually liked to study very much, but he felt that he couldn't help his family, so he said this, "If you come back after taking the exam, our family will have a lot of face." ”
"That's it, my mother also thinks that you can read more, maybe you will have a big future in the future, anyway, our family is much better now, you can rest assured to read." The Yang family hopes that their children will be insightful, so that they can be more productive than the croppers.
"You don't have to worry about family affairs, study hard," Yan Qingshan thought that he could do more if he could, so that his family could relax.
"Okay, I'll definitely take the exam next year before I come back!" Yan Shaojie assured.
"Brother, don't put too much pressure on yourself, we don't necessarily have to take the test to show talents, the important thing is to have a long insight," Yan Yan was afraid that Yan Shaojie would have psychological pressure, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Yes, if you can take the test, if you can't take the test, forget it," Yang is also afraid that his son will drill the horns.
Yan Shaojie looked at his family and nodded, but he vowed in his heart that he would get ahead.
