After busying for several days, I finally collected all the sweet potatoes and taro, as well as some autumn beans, intending to use them to make dried beans.
The radishes and kohlrabi in the vegetable garden have also been picked up.
Cut the white radish into strips, spread it out on a large round dustpan and dry it in the sun.
For kohlrabi, remove the old yellow leaves on the outside, cut the head into a cross with a knife, keep the bottom open, and hang each one upside down on the fence to dry.
After about three days, rub it with coarse salt and let it dry for another two or three days before putting it in a jar and sealing it.
When Xue was doing this, Ji Qingqing also helped.
Seeing that she learned it quickly and did it well, Xue couldn't help but praise her proudly.
Ji Minghe, on the other hand, turned over and tidied up the vegetable patch where radishes and kohlrabi had been pulled out.
He was going to plant winter vegetables in a few days.
In the area where Yushui County is located, the temperature in winter is basically above five or six degrees Celsius, and there are very few times below zero, so vegetables can be grown in the vegetable garden in winter.
In the vegetable gardens of every household, the vegetables in winter grow so well, they are fresh, tender and green, no worse than in spring and summer.
Unexpectedly, Ji Qingying came over to ask Ji Ming to talk to him over there, saying that it was the old man who called him.
What happened, she didn't know.
Ji Qingqing hurriedly asked her if nothing had happened there in the past few days.
Ji Qingying thought for a while, shook her head and said that it didn't seem like it.
Ji Minghe glanced at Mr.
Mr.
Xue rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Is it possible that dad specially asked you to have a good meal?"
Ji Minghe choked, and Ji Qingqing and Ji Qingying looked at each other funny.
Ji Minghe couldn't help but smile good-naturedly, said, "I'll go over and take a look," and left.
Mr.
Ji called him, and it turned out that something was wrong.
After a few words of concern about their new life in the third room and a few chats about household chores, Mr.
Ji began to complain, and finally pointed out the purpose of calling Ji Minghe over: to let him and his wife help harvest sweet potatoes, taro, peanuts and soybeans.
"Your eldest brother and the others are not here.
The fourth child and I are the only ones who can work at home.
I'm afraid we will be too busy all of a sudden.
Since you have put away all the things in the field, come over and help me."
Ji Minghe couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but his heart that had warmed up slightly began to cool down silently.
He couldn't refuse this request.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to nod and agree.
Mr.
Ji then became happy and asked his family of three to come over for breakfast tomorrow so they could go to the fields after breakfast.
Ji Minghe said casually: "Qing Ya is weak, so she won't go."
Mi just happened to come in.
When she heard this, she smiled and said, "My mother and I just praised you for your ability.
I go to the field with you every day.
Why are you weak again?
Are you tired these days?"
Old Mrs.
Ji hummed: "She's tired, she's used to it, she's just lazy, she has to go."
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of her meal?
Ji Minghe's expression suddenly turned ugly and he said, "Mom, Qingqing followed us to the fields just to help pick up the sweet potatoes.
She didn't do much work."
"Then tell her to keep picking it up."

"Okay, okay, if she doesn't want to go, she won't go.
Let her help the second family at home to make lunch and dinner, and the fourth family will also go to the fields together.
They have been eating here these days."
Mr.
Ji glared.
The old lady said with a glance.
Mrs.
Ji hummed lightly and said nothing more.
Ji Minghe returned home, hesitant and hard to say.
Mr.
Xue got anxious and choked him, and then he spoke hesitantly.
"What are you talking about about helping them work?
Why do you still work for them when the family has been separated?"
Ms.
Xue immediately shouted in anger.
Ji Minghe smiled bitterly and said: "Dad said that, I can't refuse.
As you know, the eldest brother and his family don't work, and the second brother and his son are not here.
We have to take back the things in the fields.
I There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Mrs.
Ji Qingqing also thought of this, and felt chilled and a little frightened about the grandfather.
His methods are much more powerful than the old lady who just knows how to do things, beats her chest and howls.
After all this preparation, he spoke, and the request was not too excessive.
As a son, how could he refuse?
"You, are you thinking too much?"
Ji Minghe was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes darkened slightly, and his mood became a little depressed.
He said this with a guilty conscience.
Because he also felt that it was probably like this.
Ji Minghe had already agreed, and Xue couldn't say anything else.
He just said: "That's all, just think of the five taels of silver as wages.
But just this time, when the rice is harvested, you can't agree to anything."
Ji Minghe nodded: "I know this."
Mr. hehe" Ji Minghe said with a flattering smile: "You don't have to be too tired tomorrow, just take it easy."
"You don't have to think that I'm stupid."
Mr.
Xue rolled her eyes at him, then thought for a while and said, "Let's eat at home.
I don't want to go there to eat."
She really didn't want to take advantage of the two meals.
She would still have to look at the old lady's face when the time came.
She wasn't angry enough.
Besides, if they go to eat, how can the old lady be willing to do anything good?
They don't go there to eat, so Ji Qingqing naturally won't go there, let alone help with cooking or anything.
Ji Minghe nodded: "Okay, let's eat at home."
Early the next morning, Ji Qingying came over to call them and found out that they had cooked and eaten.

Ji was eager to talk when she got back, but Mr.
Ji didn't say anything.
After breakfast, Mr.
Xue told Ji Qingqing to look after the house, and then followed Ji Minghe to the yard over there, where they gathered together for a piece of land.
Unexpectedly, Mi said that she was cooking alone and had to take care of other housework such as cleaning.
She was afraid that she would be too busy and wanted Ji Qingqing to come over and help.
Mrs.
Xue immediately sneered and said: "The second sister-in-law has become a noble person.
The fourth brother and sister do this every day and never see her.
She is so busy that she wants to order the girl to buy one by herself.
My Qingqing, don't even think about it."
Two My sister-in-law's words reminded me that tomorrow my second sister-in-law will go to the fields and I will cook.
The day after tomorrow, my second sister-in-law and I will both go to the fields.
Our fourth brother and sister will not be able to help us with the cooking at home, but will be exhausted.
Your master will have nothing to do at home. no" Mi suddenly said angrily: "Mom, look at the three younger siblings.
I just said something during lunch for fear of delaying everyone.
Look at how many words she said."
