Chapter 123 Preparing for the Autumn Harvest

Upon hearing someone raise the question, the others quickly followed up, "Yes, young general, do we also have clothes like those?"

These guards weren't very old; most were fifteen or sixteen, and some were even about the same age as Qiao Tinghao. They were all children chosen to train with Qiao Tinghao.

Later, Master Wuwei selected Qiao Tinghao as his last disciple. After these guards stayed in the General's Mansion until they were ten years old, Qiao Feng took them to the military camp for training.

"Let's go! I'll take you to get your daily necessities now." Qiao Tinghao said, seeing that he had finished explaining, and led them toward his yard.

Upon hearing that there were also daily necessities to be collected, everyone went to the east wing laughing and joking.

When everyone arrived at Qiao Tinghao's yard, Ruan Mumu, Xiaochun, and Xiaxia had already tidied up a bunch of items in the yard.

"Everyone, line up and come one by one to receive it," Qiao Tinghao said sternly to everyone.

Then he stood next to Ruan Mumu. The daily necessities were in an aluminum bucket, which contained towels, soap, shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, and a toothbrush.

"Zuo Yi, come forward and get your clothes. Introduce everyone to us later," Qiao Tinghao instructed.

So far, he only recognizes Qiao Zuoyi, after all, he is the leader here.

“Okay, young general.” Qiao Zuoyi stepped forward after speaking. Ruan Mumu looked at his figure, selected two sets of camouflage uniforms that suited him and put them into the bucket, while handing the aluminum bucket to him.

"Thank you, Miss Ruan." Qiao Zuoyi thanked Ruan Mumu.

"You're welcome. I'll need your help with the guard duties in the future," Ruan Mumu said with a smile.

"The young general's affairs are our affairs." After saying this, Qiao Zuoyi put his own things aside and prepared to help distribute daily necessities.

"Twenty-two on the left, come forward." Qiao Zuoyi, who had been somewhat carefree just a moment ago, suddenly became serious.

Ruan Mumu then selected a camouflage uniform for Zuo Ershi based on his build, and Qiao Zuoyi handed him an aluminum bucket that was already filled with items.

After receiving the items, Zuo Ershi was so excited he felt like he could take off, because these were things they had never seen before.

Soon all thirty-eight people received their belongings.

"Look everyone, this is a toothbrush, this is toothpaste..." Qiao Tinghao held up the items one by one and introduced their functions and how to use them.

After arranging accommodations for the guards, it was time for dinner.

These children are all in the period of rapid growth, so their meals are like those in a military mess hall. They use modern mess hall utensils to wait for Granny Yu and Granny Yu to serve them rice and dishes.

Meanwhile, the Ruan family began their dinner.

"Mom, I went to the fields today to check on our rice paddies. They're ripe and ready to be harvested! You probably wouldn't believe how well the rice is growing."

"This is the best I've ever seen in my life." Ruan Xiaojun could hardly contain his joy as he gesticulated wildly as he described to his family what he had seen and heard in the fields.

His flushed cheeks seemed to speak of the surging emotions and excitement in his heart.

Since he went to training, he has gone to the fields less often, and his future father-in-law usually takes care of them.

His future father-in-law, Jin Erniu, was over thirty years old, and his brother-in-law, Jin Guang, was going to study under Doctor Liu, so no one from the Jin family went to participate in the training. This was agreed upon by the village chief and Ruan Mumu.

The Jin family didn't own any land, so Jin Erniu volunteered to help manage the Ruan family's land and handle land reclamation.

"Really? That's wonderful news!" Chen Donghua's eyes sparkled with joy upon hearing her son's words.

"That's right! Mother, I've never seen such a thriving rice crop in all my life."

"I estimate that this yield will be several times greater than what we've grown in the past!" Ruan Xiaojun said, his face beaming with joy.

When Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen heard this, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

They had lived through many vicissitudes of life, but had never heard of such an amazing harvest.

"That's all thanks to your father-in-law," Old Mrs. Chen chuckled.

"Xiaojun, if the yield is really that high, shouldn't we save these rice grains as seeds for next year?" Grandma Chen asked curiously.

“Grandma, you’re absolutely right! The village chief and our Ruan family patriarch mentioned this to me a couple of days ago. They said that rice growing so well should all be kept for seed.” Ruan Xiaojun quickly replied.

"Is the rice ready for harvest?" Ruan Mumu asked.

"It's ready," Ruan Xiaojun replied quickly, having just visited the place earlier that day.

"Xiaojun's wedding is in a few days, shouldn't we hurry up and harvest the rice tomorrow?" Chen Donghua asked, looking at everyone.

"Then let's harvest as soon as possible!" said Old Master Chen.

That night, before going to sleep, Ruan Mumu used her divine sense to scan the warehouse to see if her older brother, Ruan Haohao, had prepared the threshing machine.

"Mr. Zi, did you pass on my message? Why don't I see the threshing machine that my older brother prepared?" Ruan Mumu looked around but didn't see it either.

"It definitely got through!" the purple elf's voice rang out promptly.

"You're not going to cheat me out of my money, are you? You've already failed to get the job done, so you have to give me my money back," Ruan Mumu said angrily.

"Look, is this the one that just arrived?" the purple elf reminded him.

The space that was just empty is now filled with twenty large boxes.

Without thinking twice, Ruan Mumu waved her hand, and twenty large boxes appeared in her yard.

Xia was startled when she pushed open the door and entered the yard, seeing it filled with boxes.

"Girl, girl, come quick! What's that in the yard?" Xia shouted as she rushed towards Ruan Mumu's room.

Hearing Xia Xia's exaggerated voice, Ruan Mumu said irritably, "Xia Xia, can you stop acting like you've never seen anything like this before? What's so surprising about this?"

"Miss, I've never seen these things before, I'm quite surprised," Xia said, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Alright, alright! I didn't explain clearly. Go and call the Third Young Master to bring some people over to help." Ruan Mumu tapped her forehead and said with a smile.

After hearing the instructions, Xia quickly went to relay Ruan Mumu's words.

A few minutes later, Qiao Tinghao's voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "Girl, I'm here with my men."

"Come in quickly and move this thing outside to install it." Ruan Mumu walked to the gate of the courtyard and said to Qiao Tinghao, then pointed to the twenty large boxes in the courtyard.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Tinghao led his guards into the courtyard.
