Chapter 216 Roasting on the Fire
"Who knows, it might be the last wave.
This kind of raspberry usually matures in June and July. You can still see it at this time, but she doesn't know why.
Looking at the half basket of raspberries, Baiyun Xi was very happy. No matter when they ripened, it would be good to eat some. Maybe they had caught the last wave.
By the time the two returned to the chestnut tree, Xiaosi had already filled the baskets and bags.
"You two come here and try the fruit we picked. It tastes very good."
Looking at the red raspberries, Bai Anyan was also surprised. After eating the fruit and resting for a while, he carried the basket and the cloth bag down the mountain.
When the sun set, a few people pushed the cart back home in the afterglow.
The days of land reclamation are hard and busy, but for Baiyunxi and the others, these are their hopes for the coming year, but they are also the sustenance of their hearts.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, just in time for the early winter frost.
Early in the morning, Baiyunxi opened the door, looked at the white frost flowers falling in the yard, and felt the cold air rushing towards her face. She knew that winter was here.
Fortunately, they have also opened up ten acres of sloping land, and the remaining part should be able to be cleared before freezing.
It's frosty, and it's time to harvest the remaining acres of sweet potatoes.
After the family had breakfast, Baiyunxi directly asked them to pull the cart and carry poles to harvest sweet potatoes in the dry land on the other side of the Qingshui River.
That sweet potato field is also one of their winter rations.
The second brother left first with the two brothers, while Baiyunxi stayed at home. The weather was good these days, and the moisture in the persimmons was almost gone.
The three of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, had to cover the dried persimmons and then go to the fields to help clean them up.

While the others were busy, Mrs. Li recounted the news heard on the street to Bai Yunxi.
"Mom, do you know? People in the village are now saying that the first uncle is preparing our old house for the second uncle to live there. They also say that the first uncle values love and righteousness."
"In order not to let my brothers suffer, I would rather spend all my money to let my brothers live in a good house."
Even Mrs. Du couldn't help but agree,
"I went to the third grandma's house the day before yesterday and heard what they said. It seems that the first uncle really wants to give up the house to the second uncle's family."
Listening to Li's words, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and it finally became quieter around her. She didn't pay attention to what was going on at her cousin's house.
However, since this news can be spread, it is estimated that they are almost inseparable. They are roasted on the fire and have to make a choice.
The only thing that made her curious was how could Zheng, the unprofitable person who couldn't afford to stay early, willingly give up the house?
After spending money and trouble, in the end, you can only be content with it.
Even if you hold your nose and give up the yard, you may not be able to make up for it elsewhere.
Just watch.
Even so, it is a good thing for the second cousin's family. With their quiet character, if this mistake had not been made, when the uncle and his wife are a hundred years old, the second cousin's family may have been stabbed several times. The money was spent.
All the persimmons were covered, three medium-sized jars were used, the mouths of the jars were sealed, and Li moved them to the woodshed.
"Okay, when winter comes, we will have persimmons to eat."
Bai Yunxi nodded, "When the time comes, we will sell the persimmonshuang and keep the persimmons. We will have no problem eating them all winter."
Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were cleaning up and preparing to go out to the fields, a cough came from outside the fence door.
