Spring is coming and autumn comes, and in a blink of an eye, the National Day of 2022 has arrived. Today is September 30th, and tomorrow is National Day. Although it is late autumn, I don’t feel the cold under such bright sunshine.

This is a mountainous area in western Henan, located in a small courtyard of a farmhouse in the western suburbs of Luoyang. A family of six lives with grandfathers, grandmas, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. Among them, Li Hongyu is the elder brother and the male protagonist of this story. He is 15 years old and is in the ninth grade. His younger sister Li Qingxue is 13 years old and is in the seventh grade.

Dingling, the school bell rang. The beautiful teacher Ma, who was reading a book, stood up and said with a smile: "Dear students, tomorrow is National Day. To celebrate the birthday of our motherland, the National Day holiday is seven days. I wish all students a happy and happy holiday during the festival, and goodbye to all students."

"Goodbye to the teacher..." For a moment, the chattering voices started to sound. Li Hongyu quickly packed up his books, carried his schoolbag, and came to outside Class 76 to wait for his sister Li Qingxue. After a while, Li Qingxue also walked out of the classroom. "Brother." Sister." They shouted out at the same time.

"Let's go, sister, let's ride our electric bike." OK brother."

Li Hongyu took his sister to ride on the electric bike and drove home slowly. Half an hour later, he finally returned to their farmyard.

When my mother saw them, she hurriedly said, "Hongyu, Qingxue, are you back?"

"Yes, mom, we're back..."

"Hey! Mom, why are grandparents not at home?"

"Your grandparents went to your aunt's house to live, and I went there the day before yesterday."

"Oh, I know. Dad, let me tell you a good news. In order to celebrate National Day, our school has seven days off and can enjoy it all the time." Hongyu said with a smile.

"Boy, you think you are beautiful. I will arrange a task for you now." Li Hongyu's father cursed with a smile. Qingxue, you can help your mother cook first. If you don't know the place, you can ask your mother."

"Okay, I know Dad."

"Hongyu, you sit down first. After a day of class, you must be very tired after riding such a far away. Sit down and listen to me slowly tell you."

"Tell me, dad, I'm not tired."

Li Hongyu's father picked up the teacup and took a few sips, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "Hongyu, you see, it is late autumn and winter is coming soon. The two acres of sweet potatoes planted in our family have reached the harvest season. Now it changes on this day. If cold air comes early, our sweet potatoes will freeze and rot. I think, we can't let our sweet potatoes rot in the ground, so I decided to arrange a physical work for you. Today you have a good rest for a night, get up tomorrow morning to dig the sweet potato cellar, and the cellar will be digging in the southeast corner of our yard. It is a physical work to dig three meters deep, three meters long from east to west and eighty centimeters wide from north to south. This is a physical work. I hope you can take it down tomorrow. Your mother and sister, I will go to the field to cut off the sweet potato seedlings tomorrow, and we will officially harvest the sweet potatoes the day after tomorrow."

"Dad, don't you just dig a sweet potato cellar? Isn't it okay for me to do anything else. I have the strength and I can handle it in minutes."

"Hahahaha, you kid love bragging just as much as when I was young, but I like it. We will drink two taels later, eat and drink enough, have a good rest and have a good sleep, and work hard tomorrow."

"Dad, you are you, I am me, you like bragging, but I can't brag at all. Look at my height of 1.8 meters, although I am not that old, I feel that Dad, you are no longer my opponent now."

Li Hongyu and his father chatted a lot, but no one was convinced. At this moment, Li Qingxue's crisp voice sounded.

"Dad, brother, it's time to have dinner."
