Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

Upon opening the door, they were surprised to find it was village chief Hua Anyan.

"Uncle Village Chief, have you eaten? Want some more?" Liang Ruotao greeted as she opened the door.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Hua Anyan's face, and he quickly shook his head in refusal.

Without even going inside, he stated his purpose directly: "I've already eaten, don't worry about me."

Peach, we're going to harvest your rice tomorrow.

Don't worry about anything else, just prepare plenty of burlap sacks.

Liang Ruotao looked bewildered.

Is her family's rice harvest tomorrow?

Why didn't she know?

Hua Anyan explained, "Today, many villagers came to me, asking to voluntarily help your family harvest their rice without charge."

Upon hearing the news, Hua Yuansheng shook his head and refused: "How can that be!"

“Uncle Village Chief, you’ve come at the right time! We were just discussing this! We’re willing to pay someone to help us…”

Hua Anyan interrupted Liang Yili before she could finish speaking:

"Why would it cost money for such a small thing?"

You've worked so hard to earn this money, so save it carefully. You'll need it for school in the future, and there will be countless other expenses."

"That can't be..."

"Uncle, it's settled then!"

Take extra burlap sacks to the fields tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you can make it or not, as long as you get the sacks!

"Pear, everyone genuinely wants to help, so let's not talk about money anymore. Listen to your uncle, okay?"

After saying that, Hua An Yan left like a gust of wind.

The three—grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter—looked at each other, bewildered.

Liang Yili touched the tip of her nose: "Then, shall we continue making jelly as usual these next few nights?"

Liang Ruotao then said, "Make the jelly as instructed."

Isn't the reason they're acting like this because they're afraid we won't help them make money anymore?

Even though they don't want to accept money, we can't just leave them without making any offer.

They worked themselves to the bone to help us harvest the grain; they can't just go home and eat their own food, can they?

Harvesting rice is hard work, so you need to eat plenty of oily and juicy food.

So, we'll cover lunch and dinner for the rest of the time.

Also, don't we still have some of the defective products we sold in the countryside last time?

After we finish the work, will each family get a share?

Compared to Liang Yili, Liang Ruotao is clearly more adept at understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

As the saying goes, leave professional tasks to those who are good at them.

Liang Yili and Hua Yuansheng naturally had no objections to Liang Ruotao's arrangements.

but,

"We make jelly at night, but we still have to cook during the day?" Liang Yili raised an eyebrow.

Liang Ruotao shook her head: "No, we'll buy the groceries and ask two skilled cooks in the village to help us cook."

"Pear, go to the village chief's house later and ask Aunt Jasmine to help us find someone!"

Seeing that the two sisters had made all the arrangements, Hua Yuansheng put his hands behind his back and went to prepare for the harvest the next day.

In the era when agricultural production tools were mainly manual and simple machinery, harvesting rice was an arduous and heavy task.

The next day, when the three generations of the family, who had just finished wholesaling the cold noodles, arrived at the fields, people who had come to help harvest the rice were already busy.

A group of people were seen in a golden rice field, holding sickles and busy cutting rice.

The sickle moves back and forth in the rice paddies, and each swing requires a lot of physical strength.

Although their arms were aching terribly, no one was willing to stop.

Liang Yili stared wide-eyed in shock.

I expected a lot of people to come and help harvest the rice, but... isn't this too many?

Liang Ruotao exclaimed, "Why are there so many people?"

She thought that only the families of the people who bought the cold noodles from their family would come to help!

Looking at it now, hmm~

It feels like the rice in our house will be harvested in less than a day.

"Uncle Sheng? You've come at the right time! We're running out of burlap sacks, hurry up and bring some more."

Someone saw Liang Yili and her sister standing to the side, straightened up, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and urged them on:

"What are you doing here? You've been working all night, go back to sleep!"

When they saw Liang Yili wanting to go to the field, the others refused to let her: "Lizi, you've never harvested rice before, you don't know how to use a sickle, you'll easily get hurt. Listen to me, go home and go to sleep!"

"I can learn."

Everyone looked at Liang Yili disapprovingly: "Learn what? You think you can use your brain to learn how to harvest rice? Are you kidding me?"

"Yeah, what's so great about learning how to harvest rice?"

If you really want to thank us, then go back and get some rest.

Your brain works faster when you're well-rested!

Hehe, next time you have a profitable business opportunity, just don't forget about us!

In the end, not only the Liang Yili sisters, but also Hua Yuansheng were driven away.

Hua Anyan patted his chest and assured him, "Uncle Sheng, don't worry, I'm here!"

"We will never let a single grain of rice go to waste!"

Liang Yili stayed up all night, but she really couldn't stay awake any longer.

Seeing that everyone insisted, he shouted loudly, "Everyone doesn't need to cook lunch, just go to the cafeteria to eat!"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I specifically bought some pork bones to make soup."

At lunchtime, everyone can have their children bring bowls and each scoop out a bowl!

Fearing that everyone would find it offensive, Liang Ruotao explained, "Drinking pork bone broth is good for your health and helps you grow taller!"

Hua Anyan hurriedly added, "The Peach Sisters bought a lot of meat."

They said you were tired from harvesting rice, so they wanted to give you some nourishment, and they even specially invited Sister Wang and the others to help with the cooking.

You're in for a treat at lunchtime!

"Sister Wang? Sister Wang, the best cook in our village? Wow! We're really in for a treat at lunchtime!"

"Pear, is pork bone broth really good for your health?"

"Yes! Calcium supplements!"

After exchanging a few more words, Liang Yili dragged Liang Ruotao and Hua Yuansheng home.

The three people left.

The women in the fields chatted idly as they worked.

"Was your husband one of the first to work with Pear and the others? He must have made a lot of money, right?"

As she said this, the envy in her eyes almost solidified.

The woman smiled shyly: "It's not much, it's all thanks to the pears."

"Sigh, I asked my husband to come along, but he absolutely refused, otherwise..."

No, if there's a next time, she'll definitely be the first to respond to Pear's call.

Thinking of this, the aunt's eyes burned with desire, and she cut the rice even faster.

She needs to perform well and try to catch Liang Yili's eye!

Even if they don't have a way to make money, it doesn't matter. With the Pear Sisters' intelligence, they'll definitely get into university!

Get on their good side, you can't go wrong!

Clearly, there were many people present who thought the same way as this aunt.

Some people cut the rice, others bundled it, and then the bundled rice was carried from the paddy field to the threshing ground.

On the threshing floor, rice grains are spread out in layers and sun-dried for several days until they become dry, making them easier to thresh and store.

The threshed rice is then sieved.

Remove impurities such as rice husks, broken rice, and other debris.

The selected rice is ready for storage or processing.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

In addition, everyone put in their best effort to perform.

Before noon, all the rice planted by Huayuansheng had been harvested.

This time, apart from a few families, almost all the households in the village participated in the rice harvest.

Liang Ruotao was surprised by the large number of people who came to help and worried that the food she had prepared in advance would not be enough.

I tried to sleep for a while, but then I couldn't fall back asleep.

Seeing that Liang Yili was sleeping soundly, she quietly got off the bed.

I took a basket and went to the vegetable garden, picking all the vegetables I could.

He walked quickly to the dining hall: "Aunt Wang, there's not enough food..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Ruotao's eyes widened suddenly.
