The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 27

During the autumn harvest season, the temperature gradually cools down in the early morning and evening. However, it's still hot at noon, causing Yun Xiaolu to catch a cold from the temperature fluctuations.

Meanwhile, Yun Shuang and the others are busy with the harvest in the fields, so the recent plan for the Yun family to go to the mountains to dig herbs and gather mountain products has been temporarily suspended.

At noon, the temperature rises to a point where it feels like a return to summer. Yun Xiaolu feels relieved and sweaty all over.

After harvesting the last batch of vegetables from the home garden, Yun Haisheng plants radishes and cabbage. Under the wall, there are several pumpkins from this year's harvest. Yun Xiaolu picks the smallest one, hoping her mother will steam it for her to eat.

"Are you sweating?" Zhao Yueji touches her daughter's forehead and confirms that she no longer has a fever. She starts cutting and washing the pumpkin, preparing to steam it.

"I think I'm better now." Yun Xiaolu no longer feels that heaviness in her body, and her nose is no longer blocked. After drinking ginger water for two days, she doesn't want to drink it anymore.

With her restored health, Yun Xiaolu quickly regains her appetite. After eating a large piece of steamed pumpkin, she also nibbles on a steamed bun, her little belly full and round.

However, she feels satisfied, but Zhao Yueji is well aware of how heavy the workload in the fields is during this year's autumn harvest. Both Yun Shuang and Xiao'e have blisters on their hands from husking corn, and Xiao Dou's shoulders have been rubbed raw by the basket rope.

"It's estimated that it will take at least five or six more days to finish the work in the fields. Your eldest sister will be coming home tomorrow. Let her go to the commune first and see if she can buy some meat to bring back home," Zhao Yueji assigns a task to her younger daughter, but she doesn't plan to let the little girl go to the fields again. Such a young child wouldn't be forced to go by the team.

They don't lack melons and dates at home now. Although they have a few larger ones, the smaller ones have just recovered from an illness, and Zhao Yueji doesn't want to tire them out anymore.

As soon as the children hear that there will be meat to eat, they immediately cheer up, and the soreness and fatigue seem to alleviate.

"We'll have dumplings tomorrow. Xiaolu, you can help your eldest sister make them at home," the wheat has already been separated. The harvest this year is particularly good compared to last year, and they have received more wheat, but most of the staple grains have to be handed over. They didn't plant a large area to begin with, so only a few kilograms were distributed to the members.

But even so, the collective distributed more this year compared to last year. The entire Yun family received a total of 45 kilograms of wheat. Zhao Yueji was already satisfied when she calculated that she could get over 30 kilograms of white flour. This is much better than previous years when they could only grind 25 kilograms of flour at most.

Therefore, when it comes to eating dumplings, she is much more generous than in previous years, mainly because the family is more prosperous this year, and they have enough money.

Actually, Zhao Yueji suspects that Yun Yi might not be able to buy meat when she comes home. But even if they eat vegetarian dumplings, it's still a cause for celebration.

Yun Xiaolu naturally agrees. She now has classes in the simulated environment at night, and during the day, she doesn't have any other study tasks apart from doing some practice exercises and calligraphy practice.

Lately, they have sweet potato sprouts, so they don't even need to dig for wild vegetables that rabbits eat. Of course, there won't be much left to dig outside soon.
