Sister Han is good at farming
Chapter 49: Li's trouble
Ruan Qingqing ignored the group of people who were asking flattering questions and ran around in the cornfield like a monkey.
"Sister, what kind of footwork is this? It's so fast!" Ruan Shiping quickly discovered her unusualness.
"What's the special footwork? It's just about trying to be faster!" Ruan Qingqing said with a smile.
"Let me try it too!" Ruan Shiping rubbed his hands together, looking eager to give it a try.
But soon he was so tired that he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
"You have to take it step by step, don't rush it!"
"Got it!" Ruan Shiping said sullenly, "When did I become as good as you?"
"With hard practice, maybe it will work!"
Ruan Qingqing was not sure either. After all, she had trained hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer in her previous life for more than 20 years to develop her skills. Her reaction speed and adaptability were ingrained in her bones.
Of the two acres of corn, one acre was interplanted with sweet potatoes, and the other acre was planted at a reasonable density. They continued to pluck the corn until nightfall, then they took all the corn back.
The corn cobs were piled up in the yard like a small beige hill, filling up the huge yard and leaving only a narrow aisle in the middle. Wang brought out a few wooden stools from the house and used a rake to clear a space among the corn cobs, making room for the stools to sit on.
In the soft moonlight, the whole family sat around a pile of corn, listening to Ruan Wantie complaining about what happened during the day.
"Those bastards wanted me to tell them how to increase corn production, and they flattered me. They asked us for help when they had problems, and laughed at us when they had nothing to do. How can this be justified?"
"Dad, ignore them! If they keep pestering you for help, just ask them for money. They don't know how to cherish it if it's given for free. They always take it for granted."
Everyone was chatting intermittently, but their hands were never idle. They reached out and picked up an ear of corn from under their feet, pulled off the red tassel on the top, tore open the corn bag from the pointed tip, peeled off the outer layers of husk, leaving only the thin layer of placenta that was tightly attached to the corn kernels.
With the sound of crackling, time slipped away unknowingly, and the ground was filled with bright yellow corn cobs.
At this time, Nguyen Van Tie and Nguyen Shiping stood up, took out the iron wire they had prepared in advance, and the family began to squat on the ground and tie the peeled corn ears together.
Wang was used to this job. She picked up a few ears of corn, rubbed them a few times and straightened the few pieces of corn husks left at the tail, braided them together like braids, and then strung them together on the wire.
There were a few wooden pegs wedged under the eaves of the main room of the new house. Before, Ruan Qingqing just thought it was convenient for hanging things and didn't pay much attention to it.
But when she saw Ruan Wantie standing on the bench, struggling to pull up the wire at the top of the corn braid with all his strength, Ruan Qingqing suddenly realized that the wooden peg was specifically used to hang the corn braid.
"Dad, let me try!"
When Ruan Wantie's face turned red from holding it in but he was always just a short distance away from Mu Jue'er, Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but speak out.
"Daya, you should have taken action a long time ago. Don't you see how hard it is for your father to be alive?"
"Dad, it's dark and you can't see!" Ruan Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled.
"You unfilial daughter, why don't you come and help your father!"
"Come on!"
Wang couldn't help but hold her forehead, "This father and daughter are still acting."
"Mom, I can not only act but also show off. I'm going to show you my skills today!"
She took the heavy corn braids with one hand, without even using the bench. Using the moonlight, she aimed at the wooden peg on the wall, pushed her foot against the wall, and quickly jumped up, easily hanging up the corn braids that Ruan Wantie had been trying so hard to hang up.
"Big sister, you are amazing!"
Ruan Shian's eyes sparkled and he couldn't help but applaud.
Seeing this, Ruan Shiping was very jealous, "Dad, let me try it too."
Ruan Wantie curled his lips and said, "Go ahead and try! You'll have to hit the wall before you know how powerful this is!"
Ruan Shiping was very unconvinced, and took the corn braids from Wang and Ruan Lanlan with great vigor and prepared to run. A "bang" sounded, which was particularly loud in the night.
Ruan Qingqing felt ashamed to look at it.
After the heavy corn braids escaped from Wang and Ruan Lanlan's hands, he lost his balance and fell to the ground with the corn.
"Haha!" Everyone laughed at the same time, and Ruan Wantie laughed the loudest among them.
"Dad, you did it on purpose." Ruan Shiping turned around and accused him dissatisfiedly.
Ruan Wantie confessed, "I did it on purpose. Do you really think you can be invincible after practicing for a few days? You want to learn everything from your elder sister. Your elder sister was born with supernatural powers. This is a gift from God. You can't learn what God gives you!"
"Not really. As the saying goes, diligence can make up for lack of talent. Brother, if you work hard in the future, you should be able to do it." Ruan Qingqing comforted.
The next day, Ruan Qingqing and Wang stayed at home to peel corn bags, while Ruan Lanlan was coaxing the twins who were already over half a year old.
Everyone was busy when Li ran over. As soon as she entered the room, she raised her eyes, put one hand on her waist and pointed at Wang who was peeling corn, and accused her in a domineering manner.
"Wang Chunya, you are so dishonest! You have the method to increase corn production but you kept it to yourself, not even telling your parents and brothers!"
Ruan Qingqing raised her eyelids and said, "It's not too late to tell you now!"
Li's eyes suddenly widened, "How can it not be too late? We have already missed the increase in production for the season."
"If we told you that we were planting corn, would you believe us?" Ruan Qingqing looked at Li with a mocking expression, "After all, before that, everyone in the village laughed at us for not knowing how to farm. Among those mocking people, there was also you, Third Auntie!"
Li hesitated and said, "You didn't tell everyone at that time that you had received guidance from an expert, right?"
"If we tell you, will you believe us? After all, we were just starting out! We were so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat!"
Ruan Qingqing kept moving and asked back.
Only then did Li leave in embarrassment.
"You! Why are you so stubborn? Just let her say a few words. It's not like we will lose a piece of flesh." Wang shook her head at Ruan Qingqing in disapproval.
"You've rushed into our house to curse us, and you're not going to fight back? Do you really think we can just gossip about you? Besides, for the sake of my grandparents and uncles, I'm just stating a fact, and I haven't said anything excessive."
"You are right, okay?" Wang glared at her.
"Mom, you can't indulge people like Third Uncle's wife. If you give her one point, she can score three points. You have to find a reason to confront her, so that she will think twice before she wants to vent her anger on you in the future. Instead of rushing to your house and accusing you like she does now."
Wang sighed, "When living together as a family, why should we always fight for supremacy? If that were the case, there would be no peace at home."
"We have already separated! Besides, we can't indulge her in everything without principles! This will only encourage her bad habits." Ruan Qingqing strongly disagreed with this. After all, aren't those who are arrogant and domineering spoiled by others?
