"During the autumn harvest, it's still the same as before, you go to work as usual, millet is still young and can't do without people, so I won't go to work, just cook at home and take care of the children."

"Camellia, tiger head, stone, the task of the three of you is to pick up ears of rice."

In the autumn harvest of previous years, there were no children to take care of at home, and when the stone reached the age of being able to run with the tiger head camellia, Mother Lin also had to follow the work, and then come back early to cook.

Last year's autumn harvest was handed over to her because the second daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she came back early to cook.

Of course, the third daughter-in-law's farce is not counted.

This year, the millet is still too small to be carried, so Lin Mu simply stopped working and just cooked at home.

The Lin family had no opinion when they heard it, and they all responded, and the children were even more excited, and it was time to pick up ears of rice again.

No one took Zhou Yunmeng into account during the whole process.

said good things before, the third daughter-in-law does not participate in these.

Being able to help the family buy meat and let them have oil and water to eat when they come home is already the biggest help.

That night, everyone washed up and went back to the house early to put out the kerosene lamp and go to bed.

The other families in the village are similar, and their stomachs have finally replenished their stomachs, and they all lie on the bed with happy smiles and fall asleep beautifully.

The kerosene lamp in the third room of the Lin family is still on.

The autumn harvest had little effect on her, so small that she only ate two pieces of lard residue at noon and a meal of braised pork in the evening.

Others go to bed early to nourish their spirits and work better tomorrow.

Zhou Yunmeng should still do something.

She was writing a letter, thinking about what more she needed to buy to the army's house.

Half a month ago, she went to the county seat to send a manuscript and took Lin Jinping's reply by the way, in which he was particularly happy to say that the house in the army had finally been divided.

The location of the family home is also good, on the third floor, there are two rooms, the living room, the kitchen and the toilet are spacious, about 50 square meters.

The letter described in detail, even the window of the room facing south, just unobstructed, so that the sun could shine in the morning and cool in the afternoon.

At the end of the letter, he continued to report her safety and told her to pay more attention to her body, and emphasized that if she had any thoughts about the house, she could say that he would settle it as soon as possible.

Zhou Yunmeng was also happy when he saw it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never came down.

After months of waiting, the house was finally settled.

Because Lin Jinping described every part of the house carefully in her letter, she could basically imagine the general structure of the room.

Zhou Yunmeng thought about it seriously for two or three days, and wrote down all the things he wanted to buy in the letter, how to place the bed, desk and wardrobe in the room, and how to place the tables and chairs in the living room.

After she finished writing this letter, she rode a bicycle to the county seat the next day and sent it.

Xu Xiaoying was a little surprised when she touched the thickness of the envelope and the sudden trip, and asked what was wrong.

Zhou Yunmeng was also happy to share with her: "My husband said that the house applied for by the army came down, and asked me how I planned to place things, and I wrote a bunch of things in a moment of excitement, thinking that I would send them to him quickly." ”

Xu Xiaoying was happy for her: "Yunmeng congratulations, this is a good thing, no wonder you are in such a hurry to run this trip." ”

She herself waited too much for the house, and most knew how complicated it was to be pleasantly surprised at the moment and to prepare for a new house.

A while ago, I just bought the necessary things and moved in to set up a warming banquet, and I also invited Yunmeng to sit at the main table for dinner.

Like the army's house has been divided and settled, Yunmeng can also go to the army from time to time to live there.

She knew that Yun Meng was not in the army, and she also admired Yun Meng's husband for being thoughtful.

The two chatted about this matter, and Zhou Yunmeng also listened to Xu Xiaoying share some experience in preparing things.

This will Zhou Yunmeng add two things to the letter that he just thought of.

She thought about the letter she sent back last time, Lin Jinping estimated that she had already received it after reading it, and the reply letter was almost there, and when she went to the county seat to send the manuscript in two days, she took down the reply letter by the way.

Needless to say, those things should be purchased.

The room, the living room, was furnished with those she wanted to hear from him.

Put away the stationery and put it in a drawer for the time being, and add it when you have a new idea.

Zhou Yunmeng lay on the bed, thinking about falling asleep.

The autumn night is a little cool, and I still sleep comfortably under a thin quilt.

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the Lin family had breakfast, and the adults and children went out of the house in good spirits.

Soon, the Qinghe production team was busy in the field, and everyone was high-spirited and energetic and began to harvest.

And the Lin family has three rooms, and Zhou Yunmeng is still asleep.

On the third day of the autumn harvest, that is, the day when Zhou Yunmeng went to the county seat to send the manuscript, he actually came to Rao Xiaoqing's rest.

She put on her back the basket, stepped on the package, and rode her bicycle to the county seat under the eyes of Lin Mu and Xiaomi.

Be the first to go to the post office.

After Zhou Yunmeng and Xu Xiaoying said hello, it was their daily manuscripts and letters.

Xu Xiaoying took it and felt the contrast between the thickness of the two letters, and sighed while pasting stamps.

"Yunmeng, I have the feeling that people are looking at you now, when no one came to the window, I was thinking about what to buy in the new house."

"You see, the letter you sent to the army this time is thicker than the manuscript you sent to the magazine."

In fact, the two letters were about the same thick, but the letters sent to the troops in the past were only one or two pieces of stationery, and the changes were more obvious in comparison.

In the past half a month, Zhou Yunmeng's mind fell on the house placement.

Sometimes when I think about being happy, I just dig out the letter I want to send to the army and write it.

Sometimes I am tired after thinking about it, and I just want to lie down and rest, so I don't go to pick up a pen to write a manuscript.

Therefore, there are only two articles mailed to the youth stories this time.

Anyway, I just received the manuscript fee for the long story submitted before, and with a large amount of income, it is okay to write less.

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and said: "Yes, maybe the house was just assigned like this, just wait for all of them to be settled, I can understand your mood at that time now." ”

She gave Xu Xiaoying the money in the mail.

The two chatted for a while, and then skillfully exchanged two catties of pork with the basket.

Zhou Yunmeng then rode his bicycle to the family courtyard of the meat factory.

Today is Granny Rao Xiaoqing's rest.

After the two said hello and chatted for a few words, the grandmother went to the kitchen to get the pork.

"Yunmeng, there are six catties of pork here, which Xiaoqing's father brought over yesterday and this morning, and it's all fresh and fine."

"We discussed with Xiaoqing, it was originally the time to replenish oil and water during the autumn harvest, thinking that your mother's side would also have to take care of it, so we simply took more than we said before."

I said earlier that I would take more meat in the half month of the autumn harvest than before.

Chapter 40: The house is settled

Zhou Yunmeng didn't expect Rao Xiaoqing's family to be so thoughtful, even her mother's side was considered.

Even if six catties of pork are in the slaughterhouse, it is not convenient for Rao's father to take them out at one time.

So I divided it into two days.

Zhou Yunmeng remembered this affection and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie, you are so thoughtful." In this way, I can also take out two catties of meat and take it back to my mother's house, and after the whole autumn harvest, my stomach will be full of oil and water, and it will be better to boil a little. ”

She was honest, and my grandmother was happy to hear it.

If you are good to others, you are afraid that the other party will accept it unceremoniously, and you don't have any gratitude.

I'm also afraid that the other party will push back and keep saying no, and if I want to send it, I have nowhere to send it, and I am stunned to toss away the good mood of people.

Like Zhou Yunmeng, who accepted it heartily and said thank you very truthfully, it made her grandmother feel that the extra pork she deliberately took for her own considerations could indeed bring convenience to her, and her grandmother was naturally happy.

Zhou Yunmeng counted six catties of meat and gave it to her grandmother, and after a brief chat, she made an appointment for the next time she came, and then she left with her grandmother's enthusiastic farewell.

Riding a bicycle out of the family courtyard of the meat factory, going around to the familiar alley, and after making sure that there was no one, he took the car into the supermarket.

As usual, go to the fresh and cooked food area to get the fish first.

The autumn harvest is more tired in the past half month, and there is more oil and water to be replenished, Zhou Yunmeng is ready to give the Lin family and the Zhou family the same pound of pork as before, and add two catties of hairtail fish each.

Earlier, when she was going from the post office to the family home of the meat factory, she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, and heard someone shouting that the hairtail was being supplied today.

Rao Xiaoqing's family accidentally gave six catties of pork, but this time he didn't have to take meat from the pork stall in the supermarket.

After that, I went to the grain, oil, rice and noodle area to get some fine grains.

Thinking that the autumn harvest has more time to work in the fields, people sweat a lot, and they are more tired, so it is good to drink more mung bean soup.

She directly took five catties of mung beans for each of the two families, and went to the home daily chemical area to take two catties of white sugar each.

After separating the things of the Zhou family and the Lin family, Zhou Yunmeng came out of the supermarket.

Ride a bicycle to the Toyoyama production team.

This will be exactly the same as when she first wore a book, the whole village is silent, even the old lady who loves to gather at the entrance of the village to talk about the wind did not come, she was busy in the field.

At that time, Zhou Yunmeng came to the Fengshan production team for the first time, and he was still a little worried about the Zhou mother he was about to meet, just thinking about how to get along next and how to realize the wishes of the original body to be good to Zhou's mother.

But in a year, it will be a very different picture.

Zhou Yunmeng rode a bicycle very easily, and he was happy to see Zhou's mother later, and he also knew that Zhou's mother would be very happy to see him, and he really got along with his mother and mother.

All the way to the door of Zhou's house.

"Mother, I'm back!"

"Hey, it's coming!"

Mother Zhou saw her daughter happily and said, "I'll count Xiaomeng, you're coming over in the next few days." ”

She immediately took her daughter's back basket.

Zhou Yunmeng pushed the car into the yard and put it away.
