In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chen Ruotong sent Feng Liangyu to monitor Wan's house for five days, but did not find Wan Baocai returning home.

Where did Wan Baocai go? What did he do? Chen Ruotong couldn't figure it out, so she gave up thinking about it and went to the farm to see if the autumn harvest was over!

In the golden autumn of October, the fruits and vegetables are fragrant and the fields are full of a scene of harvest.

Zhishan Academy also held a five-day autumn harvest holiday according to the season. Qiao Zien and Chen Ruotong went to the farm together to feel the joy of the harvest.

Chen Ruotong sat in the carriage and opened the curtain to look at the fields: the rice fields are so beautiful that they move your heartstrings. The golden color has a brilliance that amazes your eyes. The vastness and regularity have a solemnity that dispels the drowsiness caused by long-term labor. It makes people feel comfortable instantly. How wonderful it would be if everything around them was so eternal.

Chen Ruotong arrived at the farm and saw Chen Jianshu and the tenant farmers busy harvesting crops. Old man Chen was directing a dozen people to put the harvested rice on the threshing floor to dry, and they were very busy.

She asked the tenant farmers about the autumn harvest and learned that this year's harvest was good, and everyone was very happy.

Chen Ruotong walked into the field to check the quality of the rice. She picked up a rice ear and carefully observed the fullness of the grains.

At this time, the head of the farm came over and said to her with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, this good harvest is all thanks to Old Master Chen! Without his guidance, how could we have such a good harvest."

Chen Ruotong smiled and nodded, "Well, grandpa is a master of farming, but this is also inseparable from everyone's efforts. However, I still want to remind everyone that although the harvest is good, we must also pay attention to saving food and not wasting it."

The head of the farm nodded repeatedly, "What the fourth young master said is right, we will definitely pay attention to it."

Chen Ruotong looked at the golden rice fields and felt a sense of accomplishment. She hoped that the harvest next year would be better so that more people could have enough food and clothing.

Chen Ruotong walked towards Old Man Chen, smiling: "Grandpa, the harvest on the farm is good this year. Although there was a drought, the yield on our farm did not decrease. It seems that your farming skills are really high!"

Old man Chen smiled proudly, "This is the result of everyone's hard work. But, grandson, we can't be satisfied with the status quo. We must continue to find ways to increase production."

Chen Ruotong nodded in agreement. "Grandpa is right. I am planning to do the same. I want to introduce some new grain varieties in the spring of next year to see if I can grow high-yield grain."

Old man Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, "Oh? You can get new crops? Grandpa supports you. What new crops? We can't take risks blindly!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. My overseas friends will bring back some grains that we don't have in Daliang. Not only are they high-yielding, but they can also be used as staple food and used in cooking. They are delicious, so don't worry!" Chen Ruotong replied confidently.

Old Man Chen patted Chen Ruotong on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Well done, you are worthy of being my grandson! If you succeed, it will be a great achievement. Not only will it benefit the people in the village, but it may also benefit more people."

Chen Ruotong plans to buy another big farm. What is the purpose of keeping the silver in the space? If you have money, you have to buy a lot of land and build industries. She wants to take out the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the market for trial planting. After success, promote them nationwide to solve the problem of food and clothing for the lower-class people in Daliang Dynasty. This can be regarded as a contribution she made since she came to this world! She has taken so much treasure from others, so she has to give back to this dynasty and do something good!

Chen Ruotong turned her head and looked at Qiao Zien not far away, only to see him bending over, carefully picking up rice ears on the ground.

The sunlight shines on him, reflecting his beautiful figure.

Chen Ruotong couldn't help but be moved. She walked towards Qiao Zien and said softly, "Zien, stop busying yourself. Come and take a rest."

Qiao Zien raised her head and looked at Chen Ruotong with a bright smile on her face. "It's okay, I'm not tired. These rice ears were grown by the tenant farmers with great effort. They can't be wasted."

After hearing this, Chen Ruotong had an idea. She squatted down and picked up the rice ears with Qiao Zien.

The two of them were picking up the trash and chatting at the same time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting and the day's work was about to end.

Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien walked hand in hand on the way back to the house, their shadows were stretched very long...

The house is really lively, with seven or eight tables set up, and it feels like we're going to have a big banquet!

Old Mrs. Chen was organizing the women to set the table and serve the food. Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien quickly joined in to help set the table.

Seeing her eldest granddaughter's red face, sweat on her forehead, and her hands bleeding from being pricked by rice ears, Old Lady Chen said distressedly, "Grandson, you've never done such rough work before. Look how tired you are. Go take a rest and wash your face. Come over to eat later!"

Chen Ruotong smiled and said, "Grandma, working in the fields is really tiring. My waist is almost broken from exhaustion, but I am very happy and feel satisfied. I will go wash my hands now."

Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien washed their faces and hands and hurried to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Today's meal was really rich, with chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables. It was delicious to eat with everyone. Family members, servants, bodyguards, tenants, sat together and ate while chatting happily.

Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien sat next to Old Man Chen, who sighed, "Our lives are getting better and better, and we have more and more food. This year we have a good harvest in our village, but Chenjiabao has nothing! I plan to bring half of the food back to Chenjiabao to help the villagers.

The whole family nodded in agreement to show their support.

Chen Ruotong said, "Grandpa, after the grain is dried, we will ask Brother Bai to carry the grain to Chenjiabao. The journey is long, so you don't have to go!"

After a moment's silence, Old Man Chen said, "Okay, listen to my grandson! Hahaha..."

"Grandpa, how many days will it take to finish the harvest?"

"We have a lot of land, and it will take two or three days to harvest all of it. Then we have to prepare for the winter. I heard that the winter here is much colder than back home. We need to prepare more wood and charcoal. Just leave these things to your eldest brother. The 200 acres of farmland he is managing has been harvested and is being dried. Who would have thought that our Chen family now has 700 acres of land, hahaha..."

Old man Chen laughed heartily, which livened up the atmosphere and brought the eating and drinking to a climax. Who could resist the joy brought by this good harvest?

Chen Jianshu picked up the wine glass, tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Our little Si'er is a promising man. He bought so much land for our Chen family and opened two big shops. Let's all work hard, good days are still to come. Come on, let's toast to the prosperous good days!"

Chen Ruotong complained in her heart: This cheap father can finally praise me. Since he came to the farm, I haven't said a few words to this cheap father. But my cheap mother is very close to me. She makes clothes and shoes for me. She really fulfills her responsibilities as a mother.

This family is really good to Chen Ruotong. She still has to work hard to buy mountains and land so that the Chen family can have a place in Pingyang City.

The meal was lively and lasted until nightfall, when the oil lamps were lit. Everyone talked about this year's harvest and hoped for a good harvest next year!
