Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 17: Treat to a Thanksgiving Dinner

After everyone chatted for a while, Ruan Qingqing reminded Ruan Wantie to invite Mr. Ruan, Mrs. Ruan, Ruan Wanjin and Ruan Wangang to come to her house for lunch tomorrow.

"It's not a festival, what are we going to eat?" Old Mrs. Ruan muttered.

"Didn't we encounter robbers on the road a while ago? Thanks to the help of Chi the hunter and his son, we were lucky enough to survive. Daya was seriously injured at the time, and they helped us rent a car and call a doctor." Ruan Wanjin explained.

"No, I was at your house this morning. I heard that you made great contributions by helping to catch the robbers, so the county magistrate specially asked you to go and claim the reward. There was a reward of ten taels of silver!" Li interrupted hastily with her eyes wide open.

"How can we help catch the robbers? It was the robbers who robbed us. Isn't Daya born with great strength? She got into a fight with them.

But how could a 10-year-old girl be a match for more than a dozen vicious robbers? Not only was her head broken, but her entire body was covered in wounds. If those besiegers had knives instead of sticks, Daya and I would not have waited until Chi the Hunter and his son came to rescue us.

I guess it was because Chi the hunter and his men felt sorry for us that they reported to the county magistrate that the two families had captured the robbers together, so that we could also get some of the reward money.

I was thinking, I don't have anything else to repay you for saving my life and caring for me, so I'll just invite you to have a meal at home. And invite my parents and brothers to join us for some fun."

After listening to Ruan Wantie's explanation, everyone sighed.

"Okay! We'll go then! But since it's a dinner party, we have to make it look like the real deal. You don't even have a table or a chair, and you don't even have all the dishes or chopsticks. How can you invite people to dinner?"

Mr. Ruan took out his pipe at some point and lit up some tobacco. He asked while puffing out smoke rings and frowning.

"The dishes and chopsticks have been prepared today. I also told Carpenter Yan that the table and chairs can be delivered to my home before dinner today. I also bought the vegetables, meat and wine."

Ruan Wantie explained every detail one by one.

"It's good that you know what's going on!" Mr. Ruan's brows relaxed after he exhaled a puff of smoke.

The next day, Ruan Qingqing got up early, made breakfast, and began to prepare for the lunch party.

For a moment the air was filled with fragrance.

At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Ruan came over first. The old couple kept nodding as they smelled the fragrance in the air.

"If the fourth brother doesn't gamble, he won't have to worry about having a hard time getting up." Old Mrs. Ruan muttered.

When the old couple saw the chicks and ducklings in the backyard, they felt even more satisfied, as if they were living a serious life.

While the old couple was wandering around, the brothers Ruan Wantie and Ruan Wangang arrived. Smelling the aroma of meat coming from the kitchen, Ruan Wanjin patted Ruan Wantie on the shoulder and said, "Okay! Fourth brother, this day is about to start! A good sign!"

Ruan Wantie kept nodding his head, "Luck, luck!"

"What luck? Hey, Ruan Laosi! You are amazing. I can smell the fragrance of your dishes from far away. It seems that what you said before that your daughter's cooking skills are better than the chefs in the restaurants in town was not an exaggeration at all!" Chi Liehu said in a loud voice.

Ruan Wantie saw that it was Hunter Chi who came with his son Chi Jingxiao, and he smiled and said, "Brother Chi, eat more later!"

"You should eat more. Once you smell the fragrance, you will feel it is amazing. The taste cannot be wrong!" Chi Hunter nodded continuously, "You are lucky, Ruan Laosi, to have such a skillful daughter. Unlike my son, who is simple and honest, he can't even tell the difference between salt and sugar."

"Jingxiao looks like he's going to do big things, why would he need to be proficient in kitchen matters?"

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, and both the host and the guests were having a great time.

After the dishes were served, Mr. Ruan and a few others were all stunned.

Three-inch square braised pork, bright yellow pig's trotters, braised carp fried until golden on both sides, chicken stewed with mushrooms, duck meat fried with bamboo shoots, fried tofu, stir-fried pork intestines with sauerkraut, stir-fried vegetables with oil residue, scrambled eggs with leeks, and pickled radish.

"Ruan Laosi, this is too much money!" Chi Liehu felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not a big deal. If it weren't for you and your son, Brother Chi, who rescued us that day, it's hard to say whether my daughter, Daya, and I would be alive today. Don't be polite today and eat as much as you can. Otherwise, you'll be looking down on me, Ruan Laosi!" Ruan Laosi's eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Ruan Laosi, you are being unfaithful. Not to mention that we live in the same village, even if it was someone else, they would have helped us in that situation!"

"Come on, drink, drink!" Ruan Wanjin hurriedly filled the glasses of wine for Chi Liehu and his son, and then filled the glasses of wine for his own parents and brothers.

"Yes, let's drink and eat!" Old Master Ruan also advised.

"Well, let's all drink and eat!" Ruan Wantie kept persuading.

Everyone was in a very happy mood as they drank yellow rice wine and ate greasy and fragrant dishes.

"Ruan Laosi, did your girl learn some tricks from someone before? There were more than a dozen big men there that day. She was able to move forward and backward freely. Although she was beaten with a lot of sticks, many of the robbers were also injured."

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Chi the hunter asked his doubts.

Ruan Wantie said bitterly, "She never worshipped a master. She just got the experience of avoiding being beaten up every day! Plus, she was born with supernatural powers since she was a child, so she had the courage to fight those thieves that day."

"Alas! What a pity! If this were a son, he would have been a good candidate to become a soldier." Chi Hunter sighed with regret on his face.

"I think it's pretty good now. After all, going to the battlefield means putting your head on the line. It's not as safe as being an ordinary citizen at home." Ruan Wantie thought very realistically.

Seeing that he had gotten almost all the answers, Chi the Hunter smiled and said, "Indeed! Ordinary people like us still live a more comfortable life! You and I are thinking the same thing! Come on, let's go!"

Ruan Laosi hurriedly raised his glass and clinked it with him.

When everyone had almost finished eating and drinking, Mr. Ruan spoke up, "Old Fourth, your wife is about to give birth, and having a new baby in the family means a heavier burden on your shoulders. What are your plans for the future?"

Ruan Wantie put down his chopsticks after hearing this, "Isn't it the spring ploughing season coming soon? I plan to do some odd jobs for a while, and when I have saved enough money, I will buy three to five acres of land, and then I can start farming with my family and live a normal life."

Ruan Wanjin and Ruan Wangang nodded continuously after hearing this.

"You are now a prodigal son who has turned over a new leaf. Work hard! You won't have to worry about not being able to make a living!" Ruan Wanjin encouraged.

"Yes! With the energy you showed before, there is nothing you can't overcome!" Ruan Wangang nodded continuously.

Mr. Ruan was not very optimistic, but still advised: "Since you plan to do short-term work, do it seriously when the time comes, and don't be stingy with your efforts."

"Got it, Dad!"
