Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 192: Planting Rice

As she spoke, An Yue took out the key and went to open the gate of the yard.

As soon as we entered the yard, my grandfather asked, "I just saw you guys getting ready to go out. Where are you planning to go, Yueyue?"

"Yueyue is going to take Chunzhi to the fields to pull up seedlings, and then go to the paddy fields to plant rice." An Yue explained while pouring water for her grandfather.

"Since your uncle and I are here to help you, you don't have to go plant rice!"

An Yue handed the bowl of water to her grandfather and uncle, and said coquettishly: "Hehe... then thank you grandfather, thank you uncle."

The father and son took the bowl and drank the water.

An Yue asked: "By the way, is grandma doing well these days?"

"Just rest at home for a few days and you'll be fine." Grandfather said as he finished drinking the water and put down the bowl.

"That's good, that's good."

At this time, the three of them were talking in the main hall, while Chunzhi went to release the chicks and then swept the yard with a broom.

"Yueyue, is this girl reliable?" asked the grandfather.

"she……"

An Yue told her grandfather and uncle everything about Chunzhi.

"She is a pitiful person, but you have to keep the money safe. You can't judge a person by his appearance, so you have to be careful about everything." Grandfather was a little worried and reminded in a low voice.

After resting for a while, my grandfather and uncle carried the seedlings in baskets on their backs and went straight to the paddy fields to plant them.

An Yue and Chun Zhi each held a hoe, ready to go to the wasteland to dig the ground. An Yue called the chicks as she walked.

The chicks followed them to the wasteland, where they had great fun finding bugs in the soil.

An Yue and Chun Zhi were competing in digging the ground. Chun Zhi was bigger than An Yue, so naturally she had better endurance.

When the two men were tired from digging, they sat down in the wasteland to rest for a while.

Chunzhi asked curiously, "Miss, when this wasteland is reclaimed, what shall we plant?"

An Yue pondered for a while and replied, "Grow more sweet potatoes, green vegetables, corn, and potatoes. These are the vegetables we often eat."

Chunzhi nodded repeatedly: "Okay, whatever the lady says to plant, Chunzhi will do it."

"When the harvest comes in autumn, we will take the sweet potatoes and corn to the market to sell and exchange them for rice."

An Yue looked forward to the future happily, but she no longer wanted to eat sweet potatoes for every meal.

"Chunzhi always listens to the young lady."

An Yue and Chunzhi smiled at each other, then stood up and continued digging.

Before I knew it, it was almost noon.

An Yue and Chun Zhi picked up their hoes and prepared to go home to make lunch.

An Yue was thinking as she walked. After waking up from her nap, she would take Chunzhi to the black soil to cut sweet potato vines, and then carry them to the wasteland to plant them.

I plan to join my grandfather and others to plant rice tomorrow, and try to finish the two acres of paddy fields in two days.

Because the day after tomorrow, she would go to Wanfulou to deliver food ingredients, and she would take Chunzhi with her. She would also have to take the Ophiopogon japonicus that she had dug and dried earlier to the town to exchange for silver, and by the way, find out when Uncle Lin Hua would return to the town.

After arriving home, they washed their hands. Chunzhi went to the kitchen to wash the pot, while Anyue took a piece of meat from the jar in the wooden cabinet and washed it carefully.

An Yue planned to make stir-fried bamboo shoots with sauerkraut, stewed pork with radish, and scrambled eggs with Chinese toon for lunch, and the staple food would be white rice.

When the stove was first built, it was a double-pot stove.

An Yue was thinking about raising piglets in the future, cooking pig food in one pot, and not having to wash the pot every day.

Now my grandfather and uncle came to help, and in order to cook faster, they used two iron pots.

One pot is used to cook rice, and the other pot is used to stew radish and meat. When the rice is steamed, the vegetables can be stir-fried, which is much faster.

An Yue handed over the firewood, and Chunzhi was busy on the stove. An Yue saw that Chunzhi was organized and calm, but also skillful.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart: [Haha... I really picked up a treasure. ]

At this time, my grandfather and uncle came back.

An Yue filled a basin with hot water and asked them to wash their faces. Then An Yue hurried back to the kitchen to cook.

My grandfather and uncle sat at the octagonal table in the main hall drinking water, and the father and son discussed how to start planting rice in the afternoon.

An Yue and Chun Zhi were busy in the kitchen and soon prepared lunch.

An Yue carried two plates of dishes, Chunzhi carried a steamed vegetable bucket to the main hall, uncle Jiang Chenghai also came to the kitchen to help serve the stewed radish and meat, and grandfather came to get the rice bowls.

Just like that, the food is laid out and ready to eat.

Chunzhi, however, remembered what An Yue had said to her, that she could not sit at the table when there were guests at home. So, after she placed the food on the table, she went back to the kitchen, got a bowl of white rice, and sat under the stove to eat the white rice without any vegetables.

An Yue hurried to the kitchen and asked her to go to the main hall to sit at the octagonal table with everyone to eat.

"Miss, this may not be appropriate." Chunzhi said cautiously.

"They are my grandfather and uncle. They are all family, so there is nothing wrong with that. Come sit at the table and eat!" As she said that, An Yue began to pull Chunzhi away.

Seeing that An Yue was so kind to her, Chunzhi had no choice but to follow An Yue.

When they arrived at the main hall, my grandfather said to Chunzhi, "Girl, there's no need to be so reserved. We are just farmers, so please sit down and have dinner together!"

Haruji sat carefully on the bench and concentrated on eating.

An Yue put a piece of meat in her bowl and said to her, "Eat it with confidence!"

Chunzhi looked at the meat in her bowl, then looked up at An Yue, and was deeply moved.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai, who was sitting next to him, was already extremely hungry. As soon as everyone came up, he started to eat.

He ate voraciously and said, "Yueyue's cooking skills are really good. Every time I eat the food Yueyue cooks, I can't help but eat too much."

The grandfather rolled his eyes at his son Jiang Chenghai and said with a half-smile: "Look at what you have accomplished!"

After everyone had a full meal, they prepared to rest.

"Grandpa and uncle, you can take a nap in An Nian's room!" An Yue led the father and son to An Nian's room.

Chunzhi was collecting the dishes on the table and then going to the kitchen to wash them one by one.

After settling her grandfather and uncle, she came back and cleaned up with Chunzhi.

After cleaning up, Chunzhi went to her room, and An Yue also went back to her room and lay on the bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short while.

——A few minutes passed.

Everyone woke up and started working on the farm again.

"Uncle, bring the kettle! If you are thirsty, sit down and rest."

"Okay, girl Yue is still thoughtful!" Uncle Jiang Chenghai took the kettle from An Yue's hand, and the father and son walked towards the paddy field with farm tools.

Anyue and Chunzhi washed their faces, took their sickles and backpacks, and set out for the black soil.

After arriving at their destination, they quickly cut the sweet potato vines and put them into backpacks.

When two people work together, time always passes quickly.

Soon the two backpacks were full, and they carried them back to the wasteland.
