Sister Han is good at farming

Ruan Qingqing left the Shen Mansion leisurely, returned to the restaurant, met several pairs of concerned eyes, and smiled warmly.

"It's okay! Don't worry!"

"That's good! We've been busy for so long, let's go to bed early!" Ruan Wanyin gave everyone a few instructions and went back to his room to rest, yawning.

Only Ruan Shiping stood motionless under the moonlight.

"Brother, why don't you go to bed?" Ruan Qingqing paused as she was about to go into the room.

"Sister, after the New Year I want to join the army!" The young man clenched his fists and stood under the soft moonlight, his body tense and his face full of forbearance.

"Not next year! Uncle Chi told me that the minimum age for military service in Yunqing Country is sixteen, and the minimum height requirement is five feet. You haven't met the requirements yet."

"Brother Jingxiao said that a year or two difference doesn't matter, and I'm tall enough!"

Ruan Qingqing turned around and walked towards the yard. "Tell me, why are you so eager to join the army?"

She thought for a moment, "Is it because of what happened today?"

Ruan Shiping nodded heavily. "If I had a seventh-rank official rank or even a higher one, Shen wouldn't dare to make things difficult for us. And we wouldn't have to let my elder sister cook and serve mung bean soup all the time."

Ruan Qingqing was stunned. "If you want to join the army for this reason and want to get a high position and high salary, then don't go. Even if you get a seventh-rank or even higher official position, what does it matter? There are higher-ranking officials above you. You can't think of working hard to get promoted to solve setbacks or problems. What about before you get promoted? Don't you have to live?"

"I don't want to live under your wings forever. I hope that one day, I can protect you with my own abilities!"

At night, the boy's clothes rustled in the wind.

Ruan Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly. In the moonlight, the young figure gradually grew taller.

"Yes! In the near future, my eldest brother will be the backbone of our family. But before you can beat me, don't mention the idea of ​​joining the army. I don't object to you joining the army, but I object to you joining the army without any skills!"

Ruan Shiping gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! It's a deal!"

Ruan Qingqing walked into the house again and waved her hand back, "It's a deal!"

In the next few times of delivering ducks, although Shen Zhi was drunk sometimes, he never asked to get in the car for inspection again.

At the same time, the braised food in Ruan's Restaurant also became popular. In order to taste the braised food, it was difficult to get a seat in Ruan's Restaurant.

Ruan Qingqing was not interested in this. After delivering the ducks, she focused on guiding Liu Yi and others to grow rice and sorghum. In her spare time, she tried to find ways to select and cultivate hybrid rice.

The days slipped by unknowingly until the end of October. It can be said that everyone in Zaoziling lived a comfortable life this year. With good weather and convenient water conservancy, their crops were high-yielding. Especially the late rice, the yield was several times higher than usual.

In normal years, when the harvest is good, the yield per mu is 2 dan, or 250 kilograms. Normally, a yield of 1 dan per mu is quite common.

This year, the average yield per mu in Zaoziling and even in the entire Qingshui County is six shi, and Ruan Qingqing's family has an even higher yield of seven shi per mu.

The average yield of late rice per mu in Lulin Prefecture also reached five shi, the average yield per mu in Jianghuai Prefecture was four shi, and the average yield per mu in Jiangxia Prefecture was three shi.

The whole country was shocked when this result came out. The emperor even rewarded all the officials in Lulin Prefecture, Jianghuai Prefecture and Jiangxia Prefecture from top to bottom.

Ruan Wantie, a ninth-rank agricultural promotion official who had been running around, was directly promoted to the fifth-rank Sinong Doctor, and concurrently served as Sinong Doctor of Lulin Prefecture, Jianghuai Prefecture, and Jiangxia Prefecture. In other words, he was the top official in charge of the fields in the three prefectures.

This was the first official in Yunqing State since its founding who rose from a commoner to the fifth rank in less than four years. He was also the only official who was promoted without any opposition.

After Ruan Qingqing and others got the news, they decided to hold a three-day banquet in the village. The old Ruan family was still in a daze, and then they were ecstatic.

Old Master Ruan even held his parents' tablets and chattered all night long.

Ruan Qingqing told Old Man Ruan and others about her plan, and Old Man Ruan tapped the pipe in his hand.

"Qingqing! Your father has been promoted to a higher position than the county magistrate. It's not enough to just hold a banquet in the village. Grandpa said that we should just open the Ruan's Restaurant in Qingshui County for free for three days to entertain the people."

Ruan Qingqing felt as if she had suddenly been enlightened and immediately gave Mr. Ruan a thumbs up.

"You are still so generous!"

Mr. Ruan took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled, and continued, "I will talk to your uncles, second uncle, and third uncle, and we will all pay for the three-day expenses. This is a big happy event for our entire Ruan family, and we should pay for it!"

"Okay! Master! I won't be polite to grandpa, grandma, uncles, and aunts!"

The three-day free service of Ruan's Restaurant attracted many guests, and the three-day buffet at Zaoziling was also very popular. It can be said that everyone who could come from all over the country came to congratulate and eat at the banquet.

When Ruan Wantie showed up at the banquet on the first day, everyone wanted to toast him!

"Old Four, you are becoming more and more successful now! We are all proud of you! We in Zaoziling are also proud of you!"

"Yes! My fourth brother is now a well-known figure in the emperor's court. He is a celebrity! Don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The old people who remained in the village held Ruan Wantie's hand and sighed for a long time. After dealing with the others, Ruan Wantie personally toasted Chi the hunter and his son.

"Brother Chi, thank you for taking good care of our family all the time! Whether it was before the disaster, you repeatedly helped us, or after the disaster, you always stayed by Daya's side. This glass of wine, Brother Chi, nephew Chi, you two must drink it no matter what!"

Hunter Chi smiled heartily, "Ruan Laosi, you are being too formal with me! What kind of friendship do we have? Do we need to thank each other? If you need anything, just shout. Besides, we have eaten and drunk at your house many times, and I have never thanked you."

"We should thank you, we should thank you! I heard from Daya that when the plague hit, they almost couldn't escape the pursuit, and it was you who showed up in time to save them. You know, my Daya is my life. You saved her and saved my life!"

Ruan Wantie couldn't help choking up as he spoke.

"Good brother! I'll drink this wine! Don't be sad, today is your big day, be happy!" Chi the hunter said as he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Chi Jingxiao did the same.

After drinking and eating, Chi the hunter hesitated for a while and finally spoke.

"Ruan Laosi, you must take good care of yourselves in the future! We will set out to Jiangxia to guard the border in early November. You have made too much noise. Not only did the emperor know that the grain production in our three prefectures of Lulin, Jianghuai and Jiangxia has created a miracle, but the other side of the border has also received the news.

I heard they have been very restless recently and there will definitely be a war by the end of the year. We have to go and support them.”
