Sister Han is good at farming

"Dad, I understand!"

Ruan Qingqing glanced at Wang and said, "Mom, don't feel bad. My eldest brother and I went to Gapo's house just to see what was going on. If uncle caused any trouble without our knowledge and it affected our family, we would have nowhere to cry.

You have all experienced or heard about what life was like in the years of disaster. I dare not be careless when it comes to food. Our family not only has us adults, but also younger brothers and sisters who have just learned to walk. If we really run out of food, can the younger brothers and sisters digest tree bark, roots and Guanyin soil? Do you have the heart to watch them starve to death?"

"I..." Wang's face was full of embarrassment.

Ruan Wantie sighed, "When that time comes, where will we have tree roots and tree bark to eat? We will all be starved to death! From now on, no food from our family is allowed to be lent to others! Let's wait until everyone survives this disaster!"

Everyone nodded.

"Daya, I think the wheat and rapeseed in the field are almost ready to be harvested." Ruan Wantie turned to talk about things in the fields.

"Well, Dad, have we cleaned up the area next to the wheat field?"

"It's ready. I borrowed a stone roller from your grandfather and ground it several times. It can be used right away."

"What did Grandpa say?"

"They are also preparing to harvest the wheat first. But the wheat field has not been cleaned up yet, so it will probably take a few days."

Ruan Qingqing nodded, "Dad, let's harvest the wheat as soon as possible, and then we can use the stone roller to grind the wheat. Tomorrow, dad, mom, me, my eldest brother, my eldest sister, and Uncle Wu will go to harvest the wheat together. Second brother, you stay at home and take care of my younger brothers and sisters."

"it is good!"

"We really need to collect the grain as soon as possible, otherwise we won't feel at ease." Ruan Wantie said worriedly, "Today I heard that some people in other villages had their wheat stolen while I was in the fields."

Ruan Qingqing's heart tightened immediately. "Now the price of grain has increased tenfold. Who can guarantee that no one will take risks? How about this! Dad, starting tomorrow we will take turns guarding the market."

"Daya, do you think we should ask your uncle Chi to help harvest the wheat? I'm feeling a bit uneasy right now, and I always feel like something bad is going to happen. I want to harvest the wheat and rapeseed as soon as possible."

"Sister, why don't you give us some food and let Brother Jingxiao and the others help us patrol. Brother Jingxiao is very familiar with Uncle Zuo who builds water conservancy projects. With Uncle Zuo and the others' help, there won't be any trouble in our village!"

Ruan Shiping suggested.

"This Uncle Zuo..." Ruan Qingqing had some impression of him. He looked like a soldier who had fought on the battlefield, not an ordinary laborer.

"Although Uncle Zuo is taciturn, he's a nice guy. I've met him a few times, and he's especially nice to Brother Jingxiao. With Brother Jingxiao mediating, there will definitely be no problem!"

Ruan Shiping said solemnly.

Ruan Qingqing was a little hesitant after hearing this. Asking them for help would definitely be safe, but they didn't look like ordinary people, and she was worried that it would bring disaster to the family.

"It's fine to ask Uncle Chi and his men to help harvest the wheat, but as for asking Uncle Zuo and his men to help with patrolling, we'll talk about that later!"

Ruan Shiping's long eyelashes drooped.

"Or we can talk to the village chief and ask him to ask them to help patrol our entire village, and everyone can contribute some food."

Ruan Qingqing added.

Ruan Shiping's eyes suddenly brightened because of her words.

"This is good!"

When harvesting wheat the next day, Ruan Qingqing discovered that there were not only their family, the hired temporary worker Wu Wei, but also the hunter Chi and his son, as well as six other burly men whom they were not very familiar with.

"Ruan Laosi, you said you were short of people, so I took the liberty of bringing these good brothers of mine here. Don't worry, they are all willing to work hard and don't talk too much, and they will definitely help you get the job done quickly and well. All you need to do is give them some food."

"Brother Chi, that's not true. Your good brother is my good brother, Ruan Laosi. If you help with the work, you will get food. This is the old rule. No discussion."

Ruan Wantie accepted everything.

Because of the six burly men's help, Ruan Qingqing and his team finished harvesting the wheat in their ten-acre wheat field in just one morning. Fortunately, their wheat field was large, so they immediately put all the wheat under the sun.

Wang took Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Lanlan home early to cook because they were not needed in the fields.

The next day they harvested all five acres of rapeseed and threshed it.

The entire harvest took only five days, and all the wheat and rapeseed were harvested.

Of course, in addition to meals, Ruan Wantie also gave each of them 20 kilograms of wheat as a reward.

When Ruan Van Tie went to the old house to return the stone roller, Ruan Van Kim thought he was afraid that his family would be in a hurry and declined.

"Old Four, we have just started harvesting wheat! Don't worry, we won't need it for two days at the earliest."

"Brother, we have already harvested all the wheat."

"What? Have you harvested all the wheat from your ten acres of land?"

Ruan Wanjin cried out in surprise.

"Brother, I want to ask Brother Chi and his men to help with the harvest. Just give them some food and some wheat. Brother, you've heard about this, right? Recently, many families in other villages have had their wheat stolen. It's better to get the food back as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease.

You'd better dig a cellar at home for backup. The price of grain has increased tenfold and will continue to rise. There is no guarantee that someone will not have bad intentions. "

"We have a lot of people, so we can collect quickly. We should be done in ten days or so. It's not cost-effective to hire someone to provide food and wheat for nothing."

Ruan Wangang disagreed.

"If it is robbed by someone with bad intentions, the loss will be even greater!"

"Didn't you recently invite people to help with patrols?"

Ruan Wantie waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. No one wants to contribute that little bit of food. The matter has not been settled yet."

After Ruan Wanjin and Ruan Wangang exchanged a glance, they immediately said, "Old Four, you are close to Chi the Hunter, why don't you help mediate between them? We will do the same as you do, and we will never let them down!"

"Row!"

After the grain from Ruan Qingqing's home and the old house was collected, the wheat of some families in the village was stolen and some people were even beaten.

For a moment, people were in panic.

The issue of patrolling was once again put on the agenda.

No one agreed before. Being reluctant to give up the food was one thing; and the people that Ruan Wantie had suggested inviting were not very familiar to everyone and could not be trusted.

After a heated discussion, each family is now required to send one person to participate in the patrol.

After the wheat and rapeseed were stored in the warehouse, everyone started to harvest potatoes in full swing.

"Oh my god, this potato egg is as big as two fists!"

"Could it be that the potatoes have become spirits?"

"Fuck you, you potato spirit. Why don't you say something good? Didn't we apply enough fertilizer? After the river mud fermented, we carried it to the fields in loads."

"If it weren't for the drought, everyone would have lived a much more comfortable life with such a good harvest!"

"Isn't it? God finally didn't force us to death!"

"Without the county magistrate's request to open the dike and release the water, isn't God just forcing us to die? It's been drought for more than a year!"

"Ugh!"
