Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 116 Returning Home

After Ruan Qingqing added fertilizer to her own wheat and rapeseed fields, she went to the old house to help.

After everyone finished applying fertilizer, Mr. Ruan looked at the land that was gradually turning green and asked Ruan Qingqing, "Qingqing, how are you going to plant this land next?"

"Master, this is what I think. After three years of drought, the soil has lost a lot of its fertility. Forcing crops to grow will not only waste manpower and fertilizer, but also make it difficult to get a harvest. I plan to let the land rest. In the first half of this year, I will only plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and late rice. If there is more land and time, I will plant some green manure such as sesame, sunflower, soybean, mung bean, etc. to fertilize the land."

Mr. Ruan lowered his brows and thought for a while. "It is true that land cannot be overused, otherwise it will easily become insufficient in fertility and soil compaction. But what about the green manure you mentioned, Qingqing?"

"Master, green manure is fertilizer made from green plants. It can provide rich nutrients to the soil and increase the fertility of the soil."

"Hemp, sunflower, soybean and mung bean are green manure?" Mr. Ruan seemed to understand it a little.

"Master, let me tell you this! In previous years, you planted wheat in the field where you planted mung beans. Wasn't the wheat harvest higher than that planted on other lands?" Ruan Qingqing decided to start with an easy-to-understand example.

Mr. Ruan thought about it carefully and said, "That's true. This is the effect of green manure."

"Well, not only does mung bean increase the fertility of the soil after it is planted, but even if the fresh stems and leaves of the plants are cut off and thrown into the rice fields to rot, it can also fertilize the soil, increase the weight of rice grains, effectively reduce the empty rice rate, and increase the yield by at least 10%."

"There is such a thing?" Mr. Ruan was a little bit unbelievable.

Ruan Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Master, if you don't believe it, why not give it a try when the time comes."

"Try it, we must try it!" Mr. Ruan slammed his thigh excitedly.

What is the thing that farmers are most proud of?

Nothing is worse than the harvest of crops you tend to is better than others and better than in previous years!

"Master, what's more important is that the fresh stems and leaves of the mung beans will grow again after being cut, and it will not affect our harvest of mung bean seeds and their yield later."

Mr. Ruan frowned, "Is it really that magical? The land is idle anyway, so I think we should plant more mung beans this year."

"Yes you can!"

Here, Ruan Qingqing and Old Man Ruan were discussing the planting plan for the first half of the year, and Liu Yi ran over breathlessly.

"Miss, Miss! Go back and have a look! The master and his family are back."

"My parents are back?" When Ruan Qingqing heard the news, she stood up and quickly ran to Liu Yi to confirm with him.

"Yes! Everyone has returned safely!" Liu Yi replied with a smile.

"Grandpa, my parents are back. I'm going home first." Ruan Qingqing said goodbye to Grandpa Ruan with great joy.

"Are your parents back?" Mr. Ruan asked with trembling lips.

"Yeah, that's what Uncle Liu just said! Grandpa, I'll go back and take a look first!" Ruan Qingqing said and ran home quickly.

"Miss, please slow down, don't fall!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu! I'm walking steadily!"

Before Ruan Qingqing entered the yard, she was seen by Ruan Wantie and others.

"Da Ya!"

Hearing this long-lost name, Ruan Qingqing's eyes gradually became moist and her lips twitched slightly.

"Dad, I have fulfilled my mission. No one is missing!"

Tears welled up in Ruan Wantie's eyes. "I know that my daughter is the most capable!"

Wang, who was standing by, covered her mouth and started crying.

"Mom, we are all fine, why are you crying?" Ruan Qingqing walked up to her and helped her wipe her tears.

Wang hugged her in her arms and said, "Mother is happy! My son is becoming more and more successful! Mother is happy, happy! But my son has suffered so much!"

"Mom, it's not hard! Apart from worrying about you and missing you sometimes, everything else is fine!"

Ruan Qingqing grinned, and laughed until her face was filled with tears.

"How can it not be bitter? We all heard that the imperial court even burned down the village! Daya, in fact, after leaving Lulin Mansion, your father regretted it. I regretted that I was bewitched and agreed to exchange with you. What do you think we should do if something happens to you?"

Ruan Wantie regretted it deeply.

"Yes, when we heard that the village was being burned, your father and I couldn't sleep all night. We tried every possible way to get news about you. At first, Jianghuai was blocked, and your father wanted to come back many times but failed. Later, after many twists and turns, he finally followed the footsteps of Mr. Zhou and his group and came to Jianghuai, but because of insufficient food, he returned empty-handed."

Wang explained.

"Finally, it was your uncle Chi who sent a letter to tell us that you were fine, and we were relieved. Later, when we were preparing to return home with our family, we encountered heavy snow and had to turn back again. After several rounds of this, we are finally home."

"Mom and Dad, look at me, I'm fine. Look, I've grown a lot taller! Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me." Ruan Qingqing patted herself and said to Ruan Wantie and Wang.

Only then did they wipe away their tears and nodded with relief.

"Sister! It's so good to see you again!" Ruan Shiping stood two meters away from Ruan Qingqing and said with red eyes.

"Your elder sister has been waiting for you at home for your safe return!" Ruan Qingqing took a few steps closer and patted his shoulder.

“Thank you for your hard work!”

"It's not as hard as my elder sister!" Ruan Shiping choked.

"Your elder sister doesn't have as hard a life as you think. Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang are there to take care of everything for her!"

"Big sister!" Ruan Lanlan lowered her head, glanced quickly at Ruan Qingqing, and called out timidly.

"Now that you're home, you won't be afraid anymore!" Ruan Qingqing hugged Ruan Lanlan and comforted her.

"Big sister!" Ruan Lanlan was completely broken by her words, and tears flowed out like crazy.

"Don't cry, everything is over!" Ruan Qingqing's steady voice was still so magical that it calmed Ruan Lanlan's uneasy heart.

"Sister, I heard that our Zaozilin was buried in snow. You must be very bored at home!" Ruan Shian asked Ruan Qingqing with a worried look on his face.

Ruan Qingqing burst out laughing, "No? In addition to shoveling snow every day, I also built a lot of snowmen in front of our yard. People from the whole village came to see the wonder!"

The sadness on the little guy's face was immediately replaced by surprise, and his pair of big, bright black eyes instantly widened.

"What a rare snowman that must be! The whole village came to see it!"

"What's the big deal that the whole village came to see the snowman? Your elder sister! The stories she told to everyone were amazing! Everyone got up from their beds and braved the snow to come to your house to listen to your elder sister's stories. Even the county magistrate was attracted by your elder sister's stories!"

Ruan Wanxi, who was the first to arrive after hearing the news, introduced.

"Sister, I want to hear that beautiful story too!" The two little guys, Ruan Susu and Ruan Shikang, said to Ruan Qingqing in unison in a baby voice.

Ruan Qingqing happily picked them up one by one, "Okay! I'll tell you when I have time."
