These days, the sun has been fierce, so the grain has dried fast. This afternoon, everyone used sacks to store the grains away.
By dawn tomorrow, after sorting out the weight, the harvest can be distributed among the households.
Now that the grain has been stored, everyone can finally relax. So, everybody fell asleep as soon as they laid their heads on their pillows this night.
However, in the middle of the night, the sudden knocking at the door woke everyone in several rooms.
Zhao Mei, who was closest to the door, quickly got up and took a kerosene lamp to open the door, and was stunned at what she saw.
The one knocking on the door was actually that monkey from last time!
It seemed to have been frightened, with all its fur standing on ends, making noises, appearing very anxious. As it continued to chitter, its eyes kept darting around, as if searching for something.
