    They spent the entire midsummer surrounded by the fragrance of wine, and the summer was almost over in the blink of an eye.  The high temperature has just subsided and the harvest season has not yet arrived. This is the most leisurely and comfortable time of the year.

    Chen Qiao remembered that in the spring, where they found ginger, there seemed to be many fruit trees growing on that mountain. Now in this season, many fruits will begin to mature slowly.

    On a good day with the sun shining brightly, Chen Qiao took another trip over the mountains. This time they went as a family of four. Anyway, Baya had nothing to do recently, so he generously sacrificed his back and was satisfied.  The younger son¡¯s wish to go up the mountain.

    In the past, Chen Qiao still preferred rainy days. Sunny days in summer were always too dry, and the sun was so strong that it made people¡¯s faces oily and sweaty, which was very uncomfortable.  But now, he tries his best not to go out on rainy days.  Because there is no umbrella, let alone a car or anything.  Although it is uncomfortable on a sunny day, it is always much more convenient to go out.

    They were indeed on the right track this time. There were many wild fruits on the mountain, some of which were quite sweet.  They just picked a few to quench their thirst. Anyway, they will fight here when they come back. Let¡¯s talk about it then.

    Maixi went up the mountain for the first time. She looked here and there along the way and felt that everything was new. She wanted to climb off Baya's back and run by herself, but both parents disagreed. Summer has not really passed yet.  , I still don¡¯t know what will be in the grass.

    When they reached an area with less weeds, Maixi insisted on getting down and walking alone no matter what. Unable to withstand his troubles, the two parents compromised.

    But after walking for a while, he returned to his father's back in frustration.

    "Why did you go back again? Didn't you say you wanted to leave by yourself?" Chen Qiao felt strange.

    "Can't even see it."

    "What?"

    "You can't see anything when you stand on the ground." Maisie said dejectedly.

    The reason is very simple - he is too short, and there are already a lot of vegetation on the mountain. Once he stands on the ground, his field of vision becomes very narrow, so he can't see anything.

    "Hahaha" Dilla laughed rudely, and Maisie turned her head and ignored him.

    Chen Qiao and Baya couldn't help but find it funny. Their youngest son was really a living treasure.

    Dilla was already familiar with the situation. She took the lead and walked in the front. Baya walked in the middle carrying Maixi on her back, and Chen Qiao took the lead.

    "Look, it's that piece of ginger."

    "We're here, let's see what's nearby." A few of them climbed the nearest hill, standing high to see far.

    "Oh, look what that is? Haha, it can't be corn, can it?" Chen Qiao muttered something that the other people couldn't understand, and then rushed towards the corn field recklessly, even using the wooden sticks.  Throw it aside and don't want it anymore.  Baya followed behind and worried for him, but didn't say anything. He somewhat understood Chen Qiao's character.  Anyone who dares to pour cold water on him when he is excited will definitely be unlucky.

    Chen Qiao broke off a corn cob and gnawed it directly with his mouth.  Yes, the grains are quite plump, although they look a little malnourished. If you take good care of them in the future, they will get better.

    "Can this be eaten?" Eddie also imitated him and got some corn to chew on. This variety of corn is not suitable for eating raw, and it will definitely not be very delicious in the mouth, so he was a little disappointed. He didn't know that Chen Qiao was more excited.  What.

    "This is not how you eat it. I'll make it for you when I get home. This is good stuff, haha."

    Chen Qiao is in a good mood today. Corn, finally there is corn to eat He wants to eat boiled corn and roasted corn. If he can't finish it, he will dry it and grind it into corn flour. Oh, and then there will be corn cakes to eat, haha  Life is so wonderful!

    This large area of ??corn, as far as their family is concerned, will definitely be endless. Chen Qiao doesn¡¯t want to tell other people in the tribe just yet, because he has to wait until the corn is fully mature before he can save seeds.

    In order to avoid the corn being picked before it is fully ripe, Chen Qiao decided to be selfish and wait until next year to grow more corn and share it with everyone.

    This place is a bit far away from their village. Seeing that the sun has risen above their heads, they have to hurry up and go back after picking enough corn.

    On the way back, because everyone was carrying things, Maisie often had to come down and walk for a while by herself. Even so, it was still very hard for a four-year-old child.  Now he finally believed his father's words that he was too young to go up the mountain. He decided to listen to his father's words carefully in the future. Going up the mountain was really tiring.

    Waiting for them to drag their tiredWhen we returned home, the sun had already set. The four father and son went to the creek to take a bath, and then went home to prepare dinner.

    Chen Qiao still made dinner. He set up a clay pot and cooked a pot of mushroom and egg soup, then washed some corns, skewered them with wooden sticks, and roasted them over the fire, smearing some honey on them while roasting.  You know, honey is definitely a good thing in their lives.

    When the aroma of corn spread in the air and slowly filled the entire yard, Chen Qiao first picked up the first roasted corn and handed it to his youngest son Maixi, who was drooling.  The eldest son Dila, the third one was handed to the patriarch Baya who looked at it without drooling. As usual, the last one was his own.

    The corn in this season is still quite tender. The tender corn kernels are roasted and soft, accompanied by the sweetness of honey. It is really so delicious!

    Maisie and Dilla ate to their heart's content. Their mouths became dry after eating, so they drank a bowl of egg soup.  Chen Qiao and Baya were more pitiful. Except for the first one who was smeared with honey, the rest were just sprinkled with salt.  That's it, Chen Qiao also ate a bunch of roasted corn.

    Baya also likes to eat corn. At first, he really doubted whether this food would be delicious, but it turns out that in the field of food, he only needs to trust Chen Qiao.  Well, there are still many in the fields over there. Let¡¯s pick them all and take them home before winter comes.

    After eating and drinking enough, the family can sleep in the house again. Their home is now more and more comfortable. There are beds, tables, stools, everything that should be there, and there is also a mattress on each bed.  Zhang rattan mat.  The two children had been tired all day, and now they fell into a deep sleep as soon as they got into bed.

    When there was nothing else to do a while ago, Chen Qiao was making winter bedding. He and Baya wanted to make one bed, and Dilla and Maxi's bed needed to be thicker. Now that they have discovered the cornfield, they don't have time to make these.  , let¡¯s make do with last year¡¯s before winter comes.

    But what Chen Qiao didn¡¯t expect now is that the second half of this year will be much busier than he imagined.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
