Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and it will soon be late autumn.

The wheat in the fields has turned yellow, and the golden ears of wheat are swaying in the autumn wind.

At this time, Captain Li of the production team was leading people in the fields to check the growth of wheat. Although the wheat was mature, there were only a few full grains in the large farmland.

Due to the weather, the wheat harvest is still not good. After the public grain is handed over, there will probably not be much left in the hands of the commune members.

However, even if the harvest is not good, it is much better than the rice harvest during the summer. After all, wheat is a relatively drought-tolerant crop.

Most of the fields planted by the production team are wheat, and a small amount of corn is planted.

It doesn't take long to walk from a wheat field to a corn field.

At first glance, the stalks of corn are thick and tall, as tall as an adult.

Someone stepped into the corn field first, broke off a corn cob, peeled it open and looked at it. The corn was not big, but the kernels were full.

The man handed the peeled corn cob to Captain Li and said, "Captain, this corn looks pretty good."

Captain Li was a little worried at first. The miserable wheat harvest had already filled him with sadness. He was afraid that if the corn harvest was not good enough, he would not even have enough food to satisfy his hunger.

He took the corn on the cob and looked it up and down. It was indeed good.

"Okay, okay, finally there is no end to the road. With this corn, I can survive until winter..."

The captains of each team nodded in agreement.

With this corn, you can boil it, roast it, dry it and grind it into cornmeal. No matter what, you will stutter, but you will never starve to death.

After inspecting the crops in the field, the production team leaders held a small meeting by themselves.

After the meeting, the village radio rang again.

Autumn harvest and autumn planting are about to begin.

The male and female members of the production team have begun to work hard at farming again.

Early in the morning, Zhao Xueer hurriedly finished breakfast and went to work with Dou Hongxia.

In the field, both male and female members of the commune were holding a sickle in one hand and grabbing wheat with the other hand, bending over to cut the wheat.

Although the harvest was not good, it was still busy. After all, all the wheat in the field had to be harvested.

Working with my head buried, my nose was full of choking wheat dust, and by noon I was completely gray and gray.

My hands were also red, swollen and blistered from being scratched by the sickle. At this time, no one bothered to wear gloves when working.

Zhao Xueer wanted to wear gloves, but there were none at home. Even a piece of cloth was hard to come by.

I have to bend my waist all day long. At the end of the day, my waist is sore and swollen, and I feel like I can't straighten my whole body.

After the wheat is harvested, the work is not finished. The wheat has to be tied up and sent to the field for threshing.

The commune members were very busy. They had just finished harvesting the wheat and were going to work in the corn fields. They picked the corn cobs one by one with their bare hands, put them into bamboo baskets, and transported them out in baskets.

Finally, until the grain was put into the warehouse, after several days of busy work, the autumn harvest was finally over.

After that comes autumn planting, and the farm work for the year is not finished until after the winter harvest.

Autumn planting has begun, and the grazing group has begun leaving early and returning late.

The morning in late autumn is a bit cool.

As soon as she went out, Yun Xiaotang couldn't help but cross her arms, tremble, and then sneeze.

"Ah chirp~"

Zhao Tian'er couldn't help the sudden cold air, sniffed and shuddered.

"Sister, let's run to the river, it will be warmer."

After saying that, he took the lead and started walking on the spot with his short legs.

"Yeah." Yun Xiaotang rubbed her nose and replied.

The two people started running towards the river, holding the baskets on their backs with their hands as they ran.

When we arrived at the river, there were already many cowherd boys squatting in the grass, mowing the grass.

At this time, it was still dark, Wang Dongmei raised her head, and in the faint morning light, she saw two small figures, one tall and one short, running towards each other.

"Chun'er, run slower, be careful not to fall."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Xiaotang staggered and was about to fall down on the grass when his brother held him back.

Wang Dongmei quickly covered her mouth, bah, she really has a crow's mouth.

After standing firm, Yun Xiaotang felt something was wrong under her feet. When she lowered her head, she almost cried. She was just unlucky.

Her feet were sticky, and a large pile of cow dung was being stepped on by one of her feet. It was like a flower stuck in the cow dung.

She was confused for a moment, her eyes blinked and her eyelashes trembled.

It doesn't matter if she lifts her feet or not.

They would wait for a while for the cow dung by the river to dry and pick it up. The dried cow dung could not only be used to burn fires but also be used as agricultural fertilizer.

They had always paid close attention to it, but who knew that Yun Xiaotang had been tricked today.

Zhao Tian'er was still holding his sister with both hands. When he saw her stunned look, he lowered his head and was stunned.

He quickly comforted her, "Sister, hold on to my arm and I'll help you go to the river to wash yourself."

At this time, Wang Dongmei also came over, took a look and said, "Fortunately, the cow dung is almost dry and not too dirty. Let's go wash it first."

As she spoke, she held Yun Xiaotang's other arm.

Yun Xiaotang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, pulled her right foot out of the cow dung, and carried it to the river to clean with the help of Dongmei and her brother.

The first thing Zhou Nanyue saw when she arrived at the river was the scene of her being supported by someone, and she couldn't help but frown.

When he saw clearly what was going on, he almost laughed out loud, his eyes as bright as stars were filled with smiles.

For a moment, his eyes were astonishingly bright.

No wonder the child looked hopeless.

"Sister, we're here. Sit down first and put on your shoes - um..."

Zhao Tianer originally wanted to take off the dirty shoes first, but the dirty shoes could not be touched at all.

He scratched his head, a little confused as to what to do.

Yun Xiaotang sat down by the river, wiped off the dirty shoe and kicked it into the water.

He took the branch picked by Wang Dongmei and washed his shoes.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Tianer and Wang Dongmei hurriedly cut the grass.

When the weather turns cold, they have to go to the river to cut grass in advance, and then carry the grass to the cowshed to feed the cows. After the cows are fed, they take the cows to the production team's field and hand them over to the plowers.

Zhao Tianer finished cutting the grass and Yun Xiaotang also cleaned the shoes. They were wet and uncomfortable on the feet.

"Sister, put this grass in your basket." Zhao Tian'er not only finished cutting his own grass, but also cut a large handful and held it in his arms, stuffing it into Yun Xiaotang's basket.

Wang Dongmei also came over and stuffed a large handful of grass into her dustpan basket.

"Let's go to the cowshed to feed the cows first."

Yun Xiaotang nodded, picked up the basket, and followed her brother and Wang Dongmei to the cowshed.

After feeding the cows, they dispersed and went home to have breakfast. After eating, they continued to mow the grass, and then went to the fields to guard the cows, ready to feed the cows at any time.

When they got home, Zhao Xueer and Dou Hongxia had already gone out, and breakfast was warming in the pot.

Yun Xiaotang took the lead in taking off the wet shoes, and then washed the shoes again with soap locust. It was not finished until the smell was gone and all that entered her nose was the fragrance of soap locust.
