Sister Han is good at farming

After selling the bamboo hairpins, Ruan Qingqing and her friends began to prepare the land for sowing corn and transplanting sweet potatoes.

Before planting, they have to prepare the land again, not only weeding, but also deep plowing and harrowing, leveling the land, breaking up large clods, and then dividing the land into ridges.

Ruan Qingqing and his team divided the remaining land into 4.5-foot-wide ridges, and planned to plant two rows of corn in the middle of the ridge. The large row of corn was 5 feet, and the small row was 1.5 feet. On both sides of the ridge, they planned to plant a row of sweet potatoes, ensuring that the distance between corn and sweet potatoes was 0.8 feet.

After the land is prepared, the previously piled compost is spread into the ground to increase the fertility of the land. This compost cannot be mixed directly into the soil, but buried at least three inches away from the corn seeds to avoid burning the seeds.

In the evening, the father and his two sons carried their farm tools and walked home into the sunset as usual.

"Ruan Laosi, are you taking the kids home?" A man of similar age to Ruan Wantie greeted him from a distance.

"Yes! Brother Hu, are you going home too?"

"Yes, there is no end to the work. Come back tomorrow." The man knocked the hoe in his hand on the stone next to him, shaking off the soil on it.

Ever since Ruan Qingqing's family bought two acres of residential land, her family has caused a sensation in the village.

The news that their family made money selling bamboo hairpins spread quickly throughout the village.

Everyone's view of their family has also changed, especially since they made money and also brought their parents, father, and brothers, who had already separated from the family, to make money together, which is very rare.

Then everyone suddenly realized that Ruan Qingqing and her family were no longer hanging around in the village. Instead, they were often seen at Wudaoling, clearing wasteland and sowing in spring together.

Gradually, people were willing to greet them and chat with them, and some women would even visit their homes.

This sitting is amazing.

The twins from Ruan Laosi's family, who were only a hundred days old, were white and plump, just like the dolls in New Year pictures, and they didn't have the yellow and thin appearance of the farm children at all. What made them even more envious was that Wang had also become much plumper, and even the wrinkles on her face had decreased a lot.

Upon inquiry, I found out that she had not done any farm work during the confinement period, and she had not even washed diapers. She shared the burden with several children. This was a treatment only rich families could enjoy. How could one not envy them?

So they would come to visit whenever they had time, hoping to learn how Wang tamed the head of the family and the children.

Suddenly, there was a constant stream of visitors to Ruan Qingqing's house, and it was bustling with activity.

In the lively spring breeze, the jujube trees in Zaozilin are full of small jujubes.

Ruan Qingqing was in a good mood as she looked at the jujube trees full of small dates. But her good mood was broken when she saw Ruan Shian sitting in the yard wiping his tears.

"Sister, mother gave my sword to Niu Dan from Aunt Hao's family without my consent. What's more infuriating is that Niu Dan even stabbed me with my sword, and mother didn't care."

As soon as the little guy saw Ruan Qingqing, he immediately ran over, sobbing and complaining to her about his grievances.

Wang heard the voice and walked out of the kitchen slowly. After wiping her hands on her apron a few times, she looked at Ruan Shian with dissatisfaction, "It's just a small matter, so you should cry for an entire afternoon! The sword has been given away, so you can just make another one. It's not a big deal, and you just cry every day. Why did I give birth to a crybaby like you!"

Ruan Qingqing's mouth corners suddenly pressed down, her face darkened, "Mom, I carved the sword for my second brother, it's his thing, shouldn't you ask for his opinion before giving it away?"

"What do you mean by his and mine? I'm his mother, can't I be the master of such a small matter?" Wang immediately frowned.

Ruan Qingqing walked slowly into the yard, "Mom, you really can't be the master of this matter. Although my second brother is young, he has the right to dispose of his own things."

Wang disagreed, "How can a little kid like him have his own things? We gave them to him!"

"What I give him is his. And who will make another sword? Mother, will you do it?" Ruan Qingqing looked directly at Wang and asked her.

Wang looked embarrassed, "I can't do it, but you can do it, right? It doesn't take much effort."

Ruan Qingqing looked incredulous. "It won't take much time. We've been busy preparing the land lately, and you tell me it won't take much time. It won't take time to cut the bamboo and drag it back? It won't take time to cut the bamboo and polish it?"

"I'm not asking you to do it these few days. Can't you do it after you're done with this busy period?" Wang disagreed.

"It's one thing that I can do it. But I can't tolerate you, mother, giving away my second brother's beloved things without his consent. Then when someone beat him with the things you gave him, you still didn't do anything. Whose mother are you?"

"He was the one who snatched it from someone else. I gave it away already. I can't afford to lose face if he asks for it back." Wang tilted her head.

"Mom, the face you want is to allow others to trample on your child at will? That's really a big shame!" Ruan Qingqing's anger immediately rose up, and she questioned her with red eyes.

"Okay, all of you, stop talking. Mother, please don't do this again."

Ruan Wantie was worried that the mother and daughter would quarrel fiercely, so he stopped them immediately.

"Wash your hands and eat! The little food we had at noon is long gone, and we are all starving now."

"Big sister, you should stop talking. We've been tired all day. Let's wash our hands and eat first."

Ruan Shiping also tried to persuade them.

Ruan Qingqing went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash her hands and face without saying a word. Ruan Lanlan had already prepared the food in the main room.

As everyone picked up their bowls, Ruan Shiping screamed, "Mom, why are there no meat dishes tonight?"

"Yes! Mother of the child, we asked our eldest brother and others to help bring back ten pounds of meat from the town yesterday!" Ruan Wantie also put down his chopsticks and wondered.

"Eat, eat, you only know how to eat meat every day. The landlord's family also lives like us." Wang scolded angrily.

"We do heavy work every day, especially our eldest brother. Not only does he work in the fields with us every day, he also has to practice martial arts and exercise his body. He has to keep up with the work, otherwise his body won't be able to bear it." Ruan Qingqing suppressed her anger and explained patiently.

"You are the only one who is meddling in other people's business, instigating him to practice martial arts. There is no point in a farm boy practicing martial arts, it will only bring disaster to his family. If you can't stand it, don't practice, how can you eat meat every meal!" Wang said angrily.

"Mom, isn't it wrong for you to say this? We earn our own money and want to eat something juicy. It's not like our family can't afford it, so why can't you let us eat?" Ruan Qingqing really couldn't bear to listen any more.

Ruan Lanlan bit her chopsticks, looked around, and whispered, "Mom gave the meat to Aunt Taohua. Aunt Taohua said that her family hasn't smelled the smell of meat for half a year. She also said that our family is now on the rise, and Mom is a very lucky and kind person..."

Ruan Qingqing looked at Wang as if struck by lightning, "Mother, is what my second sister said true?"

Ruan Wantie and his son Ruan Shiping also had expressions of disbelief.

"That's not all. Mother also gave away all the cloth that my eldest sister had given to my younger brothers and sisters." Ruan Shian sobbed again. "At that time, my eldest sister said that if there was any extra cloth, she would make me a small vest. Now there is nothing left."

"Mom, why are you doing this?" Ruan Qingqing was almost unable to suppress her anger.

"Your aunt Taohua's family is in a difficult situation. They said they haven't eaten meat for half a year. The child was so craving for meat that he even had a dream and cried several times. It's so pitiful!" Wang sighed.

"So you gave all those pounds of meat to others?" Ruan Qingqing asked gritting her teeth.

Wang said uncomfortably, "There are only a few pounds of meat in total. If there is less, I can't give it away."

"Can't you take it out?" Ruan Qingqing laughed angrily, "Mom, you are so rich now!"

"Now that our family is well-off, there's no need to do such stingy things. If you really want to eat meat, you can buy it tomorrow." Wang said to Ruan Qingqing nonchalantly.

"Mother, why? Just because I'm your daughter, I not only have to worry about the family's food, clothing and expenses, but also support you to be generous to outsiders? Mother, open your eyes carefully and look, I, Ruan Qingqing, am only ten years old this year! Ten years old!"

Ruan Qingqing almost yelled.

"It's not as serious as you say. It's just an interaction between neighbors. Why do you have to make a big deal out of it and be so aggressive?" Wang's voice got louder.
