Sister Han is good at farming

"Okay, I'll ask for their opinions later!"

Mr. Ruan lowered his brows and puffed out cigarettes.

Suddenly, the only thing left in the yard was a frog hiding at the foot of some wall, croaking non-stop.

"Master, come and have some tea. Mint-flavored tea, it will cool you down!"

After dinner, Ruan Qingqing brought a bowl of herbal tea to Mr. Ruan.

"I heard that your third aunt came to your house to cause trouble for you a few days ago?" Old Master Ruan took the tea and asked Ruan Qingqing.

"It's not that troublesome. We just argued for a while."

Ruan Qingqing couldn't figure out Mr. Ruan's intention, so she just laughed it off.

Mr. Ruan looked at her deeply and said, "You are a child with a good character!"

After finishing his meal, Ruan Wantie grabbed a stool and sat down with a look of pride, the words "I gave birth to him" almost engraved on his face.

Mr. Ruan just felt ashamed to watch.

"Our Ruan family's ancestors couldn't bear you, so they gave you a girl like this. Look how happy they are with you!"

"Dad, I'm not bragging. There is no girl in this area who can be as successful as me. Now, because of her, I feel more confident when I go out. I can refuse if I want to, and I can confront people if I want to." Ruan Wantie said happily.

Old Master Ruan glanced at him and said, "I heard that you were doing something big in the field again today?"

"Oh, what's the big deal? Just fermenting corn stalks into fertilizer. Dad, you know us well. Farmers don't have much fertilizer. If we want to grow wheat later, we have to think of other ways."

“How much wheat are you going to plant this year?”

"If we have time, we plan to plant about ten acres."

Old Master Ruan's eyebrows jumped wildly, "With so many, can you grow them all? Aren't you going too far?"

"Dad, I'm telling you the truth. Daya said the weather is not normal. We should plant as much food as we can this year. The drought may not be alleviated in a short time. Although there is water in the Qianlong River, it may not be useful if the drought continues. Tell this to your second and third uncles as well."

When Mr. Ruan heard this, a puff of smoke suddenly went into his trachea.

"Cough cough!"

"Father, are you okay!"

Ruan Wantie was so scared that he kept patting him on the back.

"Cough cough..."

Although Mr. Ruan was coughing and out of breath, he still stretched out his hand tremblingly and waved it at Ruan Wantie, "Ahem, it's okay. Ahem, Fourth Brother, was what you just said true?"

"Sir, why don't you ask the elders in the village if this year's drought is worse and more severe than the one thirty years ago? We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of one. If the drought really lasts for two or three years, how can we survive without some food in our hands?"

Mr. Ruan looked at Ruan Qingqing suddenly, "Did the master tell you this?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Qingqing nodded.

"If the drought lasts for a long time, food alone will not be enough!" After calming down, Mr. Ruan lowered his brows and thought for a while, then started to smoke again.

"Well, it would be best if we could find a stable water source. But there is no rush for this. We should store enough food before we run out of water."

Ruan Qingqing nodded.

"You'd better tell the village chief about this news. In the face of a disaster, your being the only one with food is not a fluke but a disaster!"

Mr. Ruan gave her some advice.

"Master, I understand. Aren't we just waiting for the county magistrate to open the dike and release water? Before there is water, everything we say is in vain. With the water in Qianlong River, we can at least have a guaranteed wheat harvest next year."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on. I'll go back and think about it carefully." After Mr. Ruan understood almost everything, he stood up and walked back.

"Sister, if the drought continues, will we have no water to drink?" Ruan Shiping's eyes became deep.

"If that time really comes, we will probably have to hide in the mountains. I hope the situation won't be that bad!" Ruan Qingqing sighed.

"Dad, find a chance to talk to the village chief tomorrow! Let everyone plant crops as soon as possible while there is water."

"Okay, I'll go over there tomorrow after I finish turning the soil."

"After this busy period, we'd better dig a hidden cellar at home. Then we can dry the harvested grain and store it in the cellar!"

Ruan Qingqing gave instructions with a serious expression.

"Daya, are you worried that someone will kill and loot?" Ruan Wantie quickly understood the unspoken meaning in Ruan Qingqing's words.

"Grandpa, you are right. In times of disaster, our family must not try to do anything. Especially we must not be too careless about food. We must hold on to it tightly."

"But the land we cultivate is limited."

"I want to make some food to sell later, and buy some grain. How much grain do we have at home? Who knows?"

"Sister, you are really good at sleight of hand!" Ruan Shiping gave her a thumbs up.

"Do you understand the tricks?" Ruan Qingqing turned and looked at him.

"Brother Jingxiao told me." Ruan Shiping held his head high, as if he had mastered some extraordinary knowledge!

"Brother Chi?" Ruan Qingqing frowned, "Why do I feel that Brother Chi and his men don't look like hunters?"

Ruan Wantie's mind also began to wander.

"They are not real hunters at all. They suddenly came here to settle down five years ago. Can someone who has a relationship with the county magistrate be an ordinary hunter?"

Ruan Qingqing agreed with this deeply, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.

"Dad, next time you meet Uncle Chi, you might as well ask him to help find a water source in the deep mountains and old forests. Just in case of emergency, if the drought continues next year, it will be a lifesaver!"

Ruan Wantie nodded hurriedly, "Daya, this matter is extremely important. Your father has made note of it."

On the third day, the water really came!

The whole village rejoiced.

Ruan Qingqing and her family had no time to watch the fun as they were busy plowing the soil.

"Dad, this land must be plowed deeply, otherwise the wheat harvest will be poor next year."

"I know. Your grandfather's plow is the best! It saves effort and has a good tillage effect. Look, they all plow deeply!"

Ruan Wantie called Ruan Qingqing over to take a look.

"As expected, it seems that Uncle Yan and his men are very capable. By the way, Dad, when we plant wheat, we can go to Uncle Yan's house and rent a three-legged plow. I guarantee it will be easier than sowing seeds normally, and the survival rate will be higher, which will also help increase the yield."

Ruan Wantie was stunned when he heard this, "Is it really so magical?"

"You'll know once you've used it. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare ask everyone to plant ten acres of wheat. With the number of people we have, ten acres is still a bit far-fetched. But with a three-legged plow, it's different. We can easily finish the sowing in one day."

Ruan Van Tie plowed the land more vigorously. This year, he earned corn and potatoes, and later he will earn sorghum, sweet potatoes and late rice. In addition, he will earn ten acres of wheat next year...

The days are really getting better and better!

"Ruan Wantie, Ruan Qingqing, the county magistrate is looking for you!"
