After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Ruolan suggested they stay the night, saying, "You've come all this way, and we have plenty of rooms now, so why don't you stay here for the night? You can leave tomorrow."

Yunying quickly declined, saying, "I have children at home and I'm busy now, so I really don't have time to stay any longer. I'll come and stay for a few more days when I have more free time. I won't bother you any longer, brother and sister-in-law."

Ruolan gave the cured meat and candy she had bought to her two sisters-in-law as a thank-you gift. Suying and Yunying, the two sisters, saw that the candy was quite rare and had cost money, so they quickly waved their hands and refused it.

The three of them pushed and shoved each other, and in the midst of the extreme tug-of-war, the two sisters couldn't get away and finally had no choice but to take it back, just to satisfy the child's craving.

……

May is a season with gentle sunshine and a pleasant breeze.

It was also the rice planting season, and in their first year in their new house, Ruolan and her family's lives gradually got back on track.

Early in the morning, a rustling sound came from the right side of the second room of the Xie family. A moment later, the door creaked open.

Ruolan heard this but didn't get up. Hefen, on the other hand, got up. She glanced at her younger sister Hezhen, who was still fast asleep, and tiptoed over to gently pinch her arm.

"Ah~" He Zhen was sleeping soundly when she was pinched and cried out in pain, but when she thought of her fierce father at home, she quickly lowered her voice.

She complained, "Big sister, why did you pinch me? It hurts so much!" She then rubbed the spot where she had been pinched.

"It's time for school, why aren't you up yet?"

He Fen left those words behind and went to wash her face without waiting for her.

When He Fen came out, she saw that Shui Sheng had already prepared his tools, and it looked like he was going to get to work.

They were all a little afraid of their father; if they disobeyed or displeased their stepmother, they would really get beaten.

"father……"

Shuisheng glanced at Hefen, as if remembering something, and said expressionlessly, "When you get out of school at noon, remember to come back early. Your mother will put tonight's food on the table in the main room. Since you get out of school early, come back and go cut pig feed with the three younger ones first, and then cook dinner later."

Today, their family is transplanting rice seedlings, and only Shuisheng and Ruolan, the two adults in the family, are able to do the work.

He thought for a moment, then continued, "One person is enough to cook at home, and the two older ones can go to the fields to help after school."

The family now has six children, the oldest of whom are in school, and the youngest is still too young. The three older children take turns cooking, while the three little ones are responsible for cutting pig feed after school.

At this moment, Heping carried the youngest, Heqiang, out. The youngest was now being led by the eldest, Heping, since they were going to school and the younger one had to go along.

"Don't linger after school, come help out right now. The house is busy right now, so if you slack off, you'll be going hungry."

He said this to Heping, and then left without even glancing at the other children.

The children had to cook and eat before going to school, eating only two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

The second wife didn't get much land either; the two of them could finish the work in a week, and they would just finish up in the last two days.

The most troublesome thing is the work in the fields; it's tiring and slow.

When Ruolan finished making breakfast and brought it to the field, Shuisheng had already carried the rice seedlings to the field, ready to transplant them.

"Let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold."

When Shuisheng saw his wife coming over, he said happily, "It's alright, it's not cold now, we can eat it even if it gets cold."

Ruolan made bamboo shoot stewed chicken, scrambled eggs with toon leaves, and also brought eight cornbread pancakes.

People nowadays have big appetites, so this little bit of cornbread is only enough for Shui Sheng for one meal.

After washing his hands by the river, Shui Sheng came over to eat. Seeing that Ruolan only had one bowl, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten, you should eat too. There's no one around right now, I'm going to stretch my muscles."

Shui Sheng frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "You don't need to go. I can finish this job in two days."

"Besides, it hurts me to see you working under the scorching sun. Just watch me work from the side. As long as you're here, I'll have boundless energy."

Ruolan was so charmed by his sweet words that her smile almost reached her ears.

She shyly patted him lightly and said coquettishly, "Always saying nice things~" But since no one was around at the moment, she wanted to do more so that the man could have an easier time.

Ruolan now has to work secretly so that others will think she can't do heavy work. That way, if Ruolan doesn't go to work in the future, no one will say she's deliberately being lazy.

By the time Shuisheng finished eating, Ruolan had almost finished planting one-fifth of the rice in the field. Ruolan was very strong now and worked quickly and well.

"Don't work so hard, it will break my heart if you overwork yourself." Shui Sheng couldn't bear to see her working so hard, after all, they no longer relied on farming for a living, so there was no need for her to work so hard.

"It's nothing, I'm getting bored at home. It's good to get some exercise now." Seeing the man's concerned look, Ruolan could only explain that she really wasn't tired at all.

They were both from the future, so they didn't feel the same urgency about farming as they did about making a living from it. Therefore, farming didn't feel mentally exhausting for them.

Farming is tiring and yields low profits. If they relied solely on farming, their family would become skin and bones.

However, farming is still essential for living in the village, as it is their family's main source of income.

When Jie Heping and the others came to help after school, the two of them had only planted rice seedlings on four acres of land, and that was only because Ruolan helped plant them when no one was around.

The second branch of the family was allocated ten mu of land. Transplanting rice seedlings was the last step in spring planting. Once the transplanting was done, the job was finished, and then they would plant corn.

"Dad, my second brother and I are here to help with the work." Heping and Hemin, who had just returned from school, carried their younger brother to the fields, while their younger brothers carried their schoolbags home.

Seeing Xie Shuisheng working enthusiastically in the fields, and then looking at Ruolan sitting leisurely on the edge of the field, Heping reluctantly called out to her again, "Mother..."

Heping didn't understand why his father spoiled this lazy stepmother so much.

His mother used to treat his father so well, but his father never gave her a kind look.

Ruolan ignored his dark expression, simply nodded to them, and then said, "You're late today, where have you been?"

He Min explained, "I swept the floor after school today. My older brother is waiting for me. Mom, let's go help Dad with the chores."

He ran off in a flash.

They put their younger brother on the edge of the field, and the two of them rolled up their trousers and went down into the field to help. The four of them finished working on two more acres of land before going home.
