An Unforgettable Memory in My Childhood
I was born and raised in the countryside. My parents were farmers.
Our main food back then was sweet potatoes, which were planted by every family.
The sweet potato harvest season is usually in the middle of October. After a few cold and frosty mornings, the sweet potato leaves became withered. That meant the harvest season had come.
People used cattle and a plow to plow the sweet potatoes out of the soil, followed by others who picked up the sweet potatoes and put them into a basket that they carried.
Children often helped their parents to pick up the sweet potatoes and they were always very happy about doing so.
Because sweet potatoes were our main food for the whole year, we had to store them very well. First, people would dig a cellar, and then place some sweet potatoes in it in order to eat it later. Second, people would cut some of them into thin slices and spread them onto farmland to dry them in the sun. When it was done, people collected them and put them into a coarse mat that every family had.
The enjoyment in the sweet potato harvest season was that we children could look for some left sweet potatoes in the farm land and bake them in the spots.
The worst thing was that when I slept soundly at midnight, my parents woke me up because it rained, and we had to collect the sweet potato slices that were on the farmland.

Changed "enjoyment" to "the best part" for a better logical flow with the following sentence. If finding/baking potatoes was not in fact the most enjoyable aspect, then ignore this part of the edit.
The worst thingpart was that whensometimes, even as I slept soundly at midnight, my parents would wake me up at midnight because it had rained, and we haneeded to collect the sweet potato slices that were out on the farmland.
Feedback
Many of my corrections were rewordings to make the original sentences sound more natural. I've marked the ones that are technically grammatically fine, but somewhat verbose, with "Stylistic". I also think it would be fine to omit some instances of "sweet potato" in your sentences, since it's already clear that's what you're talking about. Overall, great job!

Because sweet potatoes were our main food source for the entire year, we had to store them very carefully. First, people would dig a cellar and then place the sweet potatoes inside for eating later. Also, people would cut some of them into thin slices and lay them out on their farm to dry in the sun. When that was done, people collected and put them into the coarse mats that every family had. The best part of the harvest season was that we children could find left over sweet potatoes in the farmlands and bake them on the spot. The worst part was that sometimes, even as I slept soundly at midnight, my parents would wake me up at midnight because it had rained and we needed to collect the sweet potato slices that were out on the farm.
