Sister Han is good at farming

When Ruan Qingqing led Suiyun into Zaoziling, it happened that Old Man Ruan was leading a group of people carrying down burnt charcoal.

"Master, is the charcoal ready?" Ruan Qingqing hurried forward to greet him.

"Well, it burned pretty well this time, with very little turning into ash! I checked before I came back, and it was all burnt through, with no live wood left in the middle." Old Master Ruan smiled with pride.

"Grandpa, you and the uncles are all like this!" Ruan Qingqing gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

Mr. Ruan laughed and shook his head, "You kid!"

"Whoo~"

Another gust of cold wind blew by, and Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but wrap her coat tighter.

"My Lord, the wind is getting more and more biting!"

"Qingqing, seeing that the temperature is getting lower and lower, it might really snow. I'll ask your uncle and the others to burn another round of charcoal and prepare more, so that we can feel at ease." Old Master Ruan said with a frown.

"Master, you are really thoughtful. By the way, we met the people of the newly appointed county magistrate of Qingshui County on the road today."

"The new county magistrate?" Mr. Ruan hadn't reacted yet. Ruan Wanxi, who heard the news later, was overjoyed and asked, "Did the court send someone?"

"Well, not only my master is here, but Master Zhou is here too." Suiyun responded.

"What about the relief supplies allocated by the court?"

Sui Yun lowered his eyebrows, "We didn't know there were still people alive here..."

"We didn't know there were any living people, so there were no rescue supplies. Then what are you doing here?" Ruan Shifei, who was also carrying a basket of charcoal, shouted angrily.

"I just came here to try my luck and see if I can find Miss Ruan Qingqing."

Mr. Ruan and the others looked at each other.

"Uncle Ruan Liu, we finally got back." Chi Liehu's signature loud voice broke the silent atmosphere.

"Nephew Chi, have you found any food?" Upon hearing the voice, Mr. Ruan put down the charcoal basket on his shoulder and trotted over.

"Uncle Ruan, look behind me~" Chi the hunter made way for the six carriages behind him.

The six carriages were loaded with stuff, and the tracks on the ground were more than a foot deep.

The wrinkles on Mr. Ruan's forehead couldn't help but relax.

"Nephew Chi, you are amazing!"

"I met a few acquaintances and borrowed some from them, and now I have enough for six carriages." Chi the hunter smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.

"You brought back this batch of food just in time! Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

"Except that there are few people along the way, everything else is fine." Hunter Chi did not hide anything.

"Thank you for your hard work! When we distribute the food, we will make a record and return it to you one by one." Grandpa Ruan promised.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Chi Hunter waved his hand nonchalantly.

"By the way, Uncle Ruan Liu, I heard from a few of my friends on the road that Uncle Ruan Si is also asking around for news about you."

"Then they..."

Are you okay? Before he could even finish his question, Chi Liehu interrupted him.

"They are doing very well and have settled down in Huiyuan Prefecture. I heard that there are people helping to take care of them! Don't worry!"

In this way, Ruan Qingqing and others felt relieved.

As long as they don't do anything stupid, it shouldn't be difficult for them to live a stable life with their skills and the money they have.

Everyone worked together to carry all the food into the house.

After sorting and categorizing the food, the villagers were called to come and collect the food. They had to sign an IOU for the corresponding amount of food. Each household was allowed to collect only a certain number of people, and they could not collect more than they wanted or be collected on behalf of others.

Although the procedures were complicated and there were a lot of requirements, everyone finally had food in their hands, and hope was ignited in everyone's hearts.

After distributing food to the last family, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

Of the more than fifty households left in Zaoziling, every household closed their doors and windows and stayed at home without moving.

"Be careful with open flames in the house. Don't close the doors and windows tightly, beware of charcoal poisoning!" The hunter Chi and his son held a gong, shouting and beating it.

They knocked on the door from one end of the village to the other, and reminded everyone from time to time to clear the snow off the roofs.

When they arrived at Ruan Qingqing's house, Liu Yi invited the father and son into the house.

Looking at the steaming pot in front of him, Chi the hunter was stunned.

"Uncle Chi, Brother Chi, let's sit down and eat from the hotpot together to warm ourselves up." Ruan Qingqing invited with a smile.

"Ruan girl, whenever you have something delicious, you think of your uncle Chi. It seems that my running around for you is not in vain." The hunter Chi sat down immediately with a bold move, and Chi Jingxiao did not refuse and sat down beside him.

"How could that be possible? I remember all the kindness Uncle Chi and Brother Chi have shown me! Thank you for your hard work! How does this pot taste?"

"I can smell the pungent spicy smell from far away. Ruan girl, you know me. I just love this taste!" Chi Liehu rolled up his sleeves and started eating.

Chi Jingxiao's tolerance for spicy food is not as good as Chi Liehu's. After a few bites of the food, his mouth was hissing because of the spiciness.

Ruan Qingqing prepared two portions of hot pot, one for her and Chi the Hunter and his son, and one for the other ten servants. But within a quarter of an hour, everyone was chomping and enjoying the food.

"Ruan girl, you made this pot very well. My body, which was almost frozen in the snow, was warmed up in no time. It tastes good too! It's also easy to eat. Just add whatever you like."

Chi the hunter praised the food highly.

"Uncle Chi, if you think it tastes good, please eat more. This pot is perfect for eating in this cold winter!" Ruan Qingqing said with a smile.

"Indeed! After eating this, my body warmed up in no time."

They were eating happily when the door to the yard was slammed loudly.

"Qingqing, is Qingqing here?"

Liu Yi stood up and said, "Miss, I'll go take a look."

Ruan Qingqing also stood up, "Uncle Liu, let me go with you to take a look! It sounds like my grandfather's voice."

The snow outside was still pouring down.

Soon, Mr. Ruan's body was covered with snow.

"Master, what's going on?" After opening the gate, Ruan Qingqing immediately invited Old Master Ruan and Ruan Shisheng from the second house into the house.

"Uncle Ruan, what happened?" Chi Hunter also stood up and asked.

"It's just right that you're here too, nephew Chi. Didn't we burn some charcoal in the mountains some time ago? My eldest brother and his family were supposed to come back yesterday, but they haven't come back yet. And it's snowing so heavily right now, I'm worried that they might have encountered some accidents on the way."

"Master, don't be anxious. Sit down and eat something to warm yourself up."

Aunt Wang next to them immediately handed them two pairs of clean chopsticks and bowls.

"Third sister, how are you eating this?" Seventeen-year-old Ruan Shisheng couldn't help but be attracted by the hot pot.

"Whatever dish you want to eat, just throw it into the pot and boil it. Grandpa, Sixth Brother, you guys eat here first. Warm up before leaving. You must not catch a cold in this snowy day. I'll go to the mountain with Uncle Liu to look for it." Ruan Qingqing said as she put on her straw raincoat.
