When autumn arrived, it was as if the earth had turned golden, especially during the wheat harvest season. Every household was busy, and the village did not stop, busy harvesting the wheat. In the yard, the carriages of the team were pulling back wheat one after another, as well as things like broomcorn and millet. Most of them were corn, and they were being pulled back one cart after another. At that time, Jia Kun's grandfather was looking after the yard. Sometimes, Jia Kun and his third brother would help to look after the yard when they were free. The yard was surrounded by a trench, which was dug very deep. Ordinary chickens, ducks, geese, or pigs could not fly over or pass through it. Some pigs were really able to escape from the trench into the yard. Sometimes, Master Jia Kun was so tired that he was out of breath. If only Jia Kun and the others were here, he wouldn't need to chase them away. He was already in his seventies, and he couldn't even walk steadily, let alone chase them away. The naughty pig was finally chased out, but he didn't know that another chicken had flown in. He still had to chase and kill it. There had been no rest throughout the day. Even if Master Jia Kun wanted to rest, it was impossible. After Jia Kun and his third brother were dismissed from school, the two of them volunteered to come to the yard to help their grandfather look after the yard.
There was also a time to rest. In the guard room of the yard, there was a stove for heating rice. It was specially made with a stove ring on top. You could fry popcorn and soybeans on it, and sometimes you could even fry potato chips. When his grandfather saw the two of them coming, he started to make these for them. If he saw anything enter the courtyard, one of them would go out and the other would accompany his grandfather to eat these things.
At that time, the field had existed since the time when there were no teams. The entire team's harvest was in the field. It was really busy at this time of the year. There were people working in the field every day. Some were peeling corn, some were beating wheat, some were smashing sorghums, and some were beating grains. It could be said to be very lively. The adults worked in the yard of the team, and the children followed behind the carriage to pick up the food that had fallen, bringing it home to accumulate.
Especially at this time of the year, the wheat harvest was busy. The entire road was filled with the golden light of wheat. The child followed behind the wheat cart and looked at the falling wheat. He picked it up and carried it home to use for the fire.
At that time, the entire production team was busy. The adults worked in the team while the children worked at home.
Jia Kun's grandfather was in charge of the yard during the day. There was another person taking over his shift in the dark.
During this period of time, his uncle and aunt would often come to his house to visit. Sometimes, his aunt and third aunt would also come. Because Jia Kun's house was their mother's house, after getting married so many years ago, they would often come back to visit their home. Eldest Aunt treated their family the best because Eldest Aunt had suffered since she was young. She even married a man with consumption and left after leaving the four children behind. Therefore, only Jia Kun's father took care of him at that time. According to his mother, when his uncle passed away, it was snowing heavily. It was his father who led the people to bury him. The coffin was made by his father. Until now, her family had been able to live the life they had today with the help of her father. Now that his aunt had remarried, this uncle loved his aunt very much. The relationship between the two of them was especially good, and he was also very concerned about his aunt. This uncle-in-law had no children, and he wholeheartedly poured all his fatherly love into Jia Kun's elder sister. That person was kind-hearted and especially good to others, giving people a sense of intimacy. Jia Kun's family respected him very much. Every time they came to his house, they would treat him like their closest relative and cook delicious food for him. Every time his uncle came, he would not come empty-handed. He would buy or bring some delicious food for them. This uncle was especially good to them. Sometimes, when they went to his house, they would treat him like their own children. They would ask about their well-being and sometimes even ask their aunt to cook delicious food for them. Now that he thought back to those experiences, they were really vivid in his mind. They were so unforgettable.
The old aunt was also very close to them. As soon as she came back from Shuangjingzi Village, she said,
"I went back to my mother's house to take a look.”
Every time Jia Kun heard these kind words, his heart would be filled with joy.
Third Aunt did not like to talk, but Third Aunt knew very well. Every time she came back, she would stay for a few days before leaving. She was so reluctant to leave.
The most puzzling thing was Second Aunt. She had evil intentions and always wanted to take advantage of herself, no matter who she was.
Perhaps this was the difference? Even though they were the same, their personalities were different. They really didn't want to bring up those things that had been going back and forth, but in order not to forget, they could only write them down as a beautiful memory.
