Sister Han is good at farming

After planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, Wang had just finished her confinement, so everyone sat together to have dinner.

"Daya, we have planted the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the compost is ready. What are we going to do next?"

After working for nearly a month, Ruan Wantie felt more and more at ease. He changed his previous decadent attitude of being unable to do anything. He didn't think about anything else, just worked hard, leaving all his frustrations and unrealistic ambitions behind.

This change made him feel different. Now that one stage of work was finished, he began to feel unsettled again.

"Later, we will plant sweet potato seedlings and corn. However, I plan to plant a larger distance between the sweet potato seedlings than now, and then interplant corn in between. If there is any more land, we will plant corn. Let's stop the land reclamation work for a while. Everyone has been tired for so long, let's take a break."

Ruan Qingqing told her plan.

Wang sighed with a sad face, "There's no time to rest when farming like this. I see that there's not much firewood left at home, and the rice and flour are almost gone. Even the vegetables I used to grow in the corners in front of and behind the house, which I ate for myself, chickens and ducks, are not much left now."

"Firewood is easy. I'll take Shiping to chop some tomorrow." Ruan Wantie responded immediately.

"Chickens, I can catch some insects and earthworms to feed them. My elder sister taught me, I know how to do it." Ruan Shian raised his hand and said anxiously.

Ruan Lanlan glanced at everyone awkwardly and said, "I can go to the mountain forest slopes with Sister Ping from my uncle's family to look for wild vegetables and mushrooms."

Ruan Qingqing was very pleased to see that everyone was working hard to contribute to the family.

"Well, if we all work together to find a solution, our lives will definitely get better and better. As for rice, find time to buy some more tomorrow. As for vegetables, I'll think of a solution."

Ruan Qingqing lowered her head and ate her meal, but her mind was constantly racing, thinking of possible solutions.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, "In addition to wild vegetables and mushrooms from the mountains, there are two other things that can be eaten as vegetables at this time of year. One is bamboo shoots, and the other is young toon leaves.

However, Chinese toon seedlings usually grow on tall and straight Chinese toon trees, making them difficult to pick. We can try to get some bamboo shoots back home to eat.”

"Daya, the bamboo shoots are not only hard, but also taste bitter. They are not delicious!" When Ruan Wantie heard that he was going to eat bamboo shoots, his face immediately fell. The memory was really too vivid.

Ruan Qingqing glanced at him and smiled, "Dad, the bamboo shoots are hard because they are old. We can dig up tender ones when the time comes. The bitter taste of bamboo shoots can be removed by boiling them in water before frying. If there are too many, we can make sour or dried bamboo shoots. They are durable and can be eaten for a long time."

"Okay! When I chop wood these days, please keep an eye out for bamboo shoots." Ruan Wantie said angrily.

"Dad, when you chop wood, please keep an eye out for good wood. We have some money now, and I think we should build a house before the summer rain comes. The house we live in now is leaking everywhere and has been in disrepair for many years. I am worried that it will not be able to withstand the summer rain."

"Build a new house?" Ruan Wantie raised his head from his bowl and asked in a loud voice.

"Well, I have this idea. Let's get ready first. I will find a way to save some money later, and building a new big house should not be a problem." Ruan Qingqing nodded confidently.

"Build a new big house?" Ruan Shiping raised his eyebrows. "It will take a lot of money!"

"Well, I'm trying to figure it out."

"Okay! Let's solve the vegetable problem first. Since Daya mentioned bamboo shoots, why don't you bring back more bamboo shoots when you have time recently. The less vegetables we buy, the less expenses we will spend. We can try to save enough money to build the house as soon as possible and start construction earlier."

Wang suggested.

"It's settled!" Ruan Wantie nodded hurriedly in agreement.

So in the next few days, Nguyen Van Tiet took Nguyen Shiping to chop wood and look for good wood in the nearby mountains, while Nguyen Thanh Thanh was responsible for picking bamboo shoots.

That day, when Ruan Qingqing was carrying a bamboo basket to pick bamboo shoots, she met the hunter Chi and his son who were going hunting on the way.

"Uncle Chi and Brother Chi are going hunting?"

Ruan Qingqing greeted them as usual.

"Yeah! We're leaving first. Be careful on the mountain, little girl."

Chi the hunter gave his instructions and strode forward.

Chi Jingxiao, who was following behind, said seriously when he was about to pass her by: "Miss Ruan, you are quite good at killing wolves. Can I spar with you?"

Ruan Qingqing smiled awkwardly, "I don't have any kung fu skills, I just have great strength and a little survival instinct."

"Then find a time and fight with me." Chi Jingxiao said unwillingly.

Ruan Qingqing looked around in embarrassment. Seeing that there was no one nearby who could help, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Brother Chi, it's really inconvenient for me. Look at me. I've been busy almost since I opened my eyes in the morning. I really don't have the time."

"What do you need to do? I...I will help you." The boy's clear eyes were full of persistence.

"That's not necessary, we can talk about it later when we have time!"

Because they had saved her life before, Ruan Qingqing couldn't say anything harsh, so she had to use the tactic of procrastination. Then, regardless of how Chi Jingxiao responded, she just left.

Ruan Qingqing thought she could just get away with it.

Who would have thought that when she went up the mountain with Ruan Wantie to cut wood, she would meet the hunter Chi and his son again.

"Ruan Laosi, what are you busy with recently?"

"Find wood and repair the house." Ruan Wantie said casually.

"Well, your house needs to be repaired. If you need anything, just call me! I can't do anything else, but I still have some strength to help you." Chi Hunter patted Ruan Wantie on the shoulder.

"Then I will have to shamelessly ask Brother Chi for help in the future."

"Just come and call us, as long as we provide food for father and son, haha!" Chi the hunter laughed loudly.

Chi Jingxiao beside him also whispered to Ruan Qingqing: "Your family's food is really good!"

Ruan Qingqing paused and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just an ordinary home-cooked meal?"

The boy laughed at himself, "If you had a father who cooked rice that was either black or mushy, you wouldn't think like this."

"Ah?" Ruan Qingqing looked Chi Jingxiao up and down in disbelief, "How did you grow so big?"

"My dad's grilling skills are pretty good." Chi Jingxiao said in a light tone.

"All right!"

"Miss Ruan, where did you learn your Kung Fu? If the sword in your hand was a real sword with a sharpened blade, the robber leader would have died a hundred times. And you were able to escape unscathed from the siege of ten wolves... Hey, Miss Ruan, when are you free to fight me?"

Seeing that Ruan Qingqing was about to run away again, Chi Jingxiao hurriedly chased after her and asked.

"Why do you always want to fight with me?" Ruan Qingqing was a little confused.

"Because I want to become the best master in the world!" The young man looked at Ruan Qingqing and said seriously.

"No need to fight, I give up."

The young man was anxious. "No, I want to learn a lot from you! Your skills are something I've never seen before. They are clean and sharp, and every move goes straight to the vital points. Not a single move is fake."

"If you fight more often with the wild animals in the mountains and forests, I believe you will improve quickly." Ruan Qingqing gave him some advice.

Chi Jingxiao tilted his head to the side, looking a little uncomfortable.

"That's what I did before. But after I accidentally let ten wolves escape from the forest last time, I never dared to do it again, for fear of accidentally hurting others."

After hearing this, Ruan Qingqing's face darkened.

"So it was you who caused ten wolves to suddenly appear in our newly reclaimed land last time?"

Chi Jingxiao coughed lightly, "We didn't do it on purpose. That day in the deep mountains, when I was fighting with a pack of wolves, I was careless and the wolf king escaped with nine other wolves. I thought there were few people passing by there, so nothing would happen, but I didn't expect to almost hurt you."

Ruan Qingqing felt very uncomfortable when she thought of the extremely dangerous situation that day.

He originally thought that the person he saved was actually the culprit who put himself, his gambling father and his eldest brother in the mouth of the wolves.

and so……

She suddenly looked at Chi Jingxiao, who was a head taller than her, and said, "No wonder I heard from my grandma that my dad gave you wolves afterwards, but you didn't want them."

"How can we ask for this..." The young man lowered his head.

Then he raised his head again and looked at Ruan Qingqing stubbornly, "Why don't you fight with me?"
