Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 122 Growing Potatoes

An Qing was just about to go into his room to take a nap when he was caught by An Yue who came rushing over.

An Yue ran up to An Qing and called out, "Brother An Qing."

"Yueyue? Is there something wrong?" An Qing turned around and saw that it was An Yue, with a look of surprise.

"Yueyue came to see Brother Anqing to discuss something with him."

When An Qing heard that An Yue wanted to talk to him about something, he quickly walked up to An Yue, squatted down and looked up and asked, "Yue Yue, tell me, brother is listening."

"Brother Anqing, can you help my sister and I farm?"

After hearing what An Yue said, An Qing felt a little hesitant.

He knew that An Yue couldn't farm by herself, but he also knew his parents' tempers, and they would definitely stop helping her and her siblings.

"Yueyue, I naturally hope to help you, but you know the temperament of your uncle and aunt, they will definitely not let me help you."

An Yue suddenly remembered and added quickly, "Oh! By the way, please rest assured, brother, Yueyue will not let you work in vain, and will definitely pay you the corresponding wages."

"Yueyue, that's not what brother meant." Anqing quickly waved his hands and explained.

He pursed his lips and frowned as if he was thinking about something.

"My sister-in-law is going to marry into our family in the next two days. You can't just marry her and ignore her and go out to work, right?"

Seeing that An Qing was still hesitant, An Yue pulled An Qing's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly:

"Brother, please help us. You know our family's situation. If you don't help me farm, my farm will be abandoned."

"I will discuss this matter with your uncle and aunt first, and I will give you a reply at 4 p.m. this afternoon. How do you think?"

"That's fine, brother must help!"

An Qing nodded to An Yue, and An Yue turned around and walked towards her east room.

After returning to the house, she prepared to lie on the bed and close her eyes for a while, and then go to dig in the field when she woke up.

She lay on the bed, spread out her hands, looked at the two swollen blisters on her palms, and felt worried.

——Three quarters of an hour passed.

An Yue woke up, filled the wooden basin with wood ash, put it in the backpack, took the hoe and sickle, closed the door, and walked towards the field.

She came to the field, put down her backpack, and ran impatiently to see the tomato seeds she had planted at the beginning.

An Yue bent down and took a closer look, only to see that small sprouts had grown from the tomato seeds.

She walked a few steps forward and saw that the eggplant and spinach seeds had also broken out of their shells and were trying to sprout.

Seeing that the vegetable seeds she planted were all taking root and sprouting, she was very happy. She quickly picked up the hoe and started digging the ground.

Because a lot of ground has been turned over last time when we dug herbs, we will turn over the ground some more this time and pick out the weeds in the ground, and then we can start sowing.

An acre of black soil was planted with eggplant, spinach and tomatoes a few days ago. Today, potato seeds are planted in the ground. Only half an acre of land has been planted, and more than half an acre of land is still empty.

An Yue thought that she would wait for some time and then grow some corn seedlings and sweet potato seedlings.

A man walked back and forth in the field and quickly picked up all the weeds in the field.

At this time, she picked up the hoe and began to dig small pits. There were rows of small pits, all of different sizes and neatly arranged.

After digging the small pit, An Yue picked up the wooden basin filled with wood ash and sprinkled some wood ash into the small pit.

Then quickly place a sprouted potato piece in each small hole.

After putting the potatoes in, An Yue squatted down again, placed the potato sprouts facing up in the small pit, and then covered the potatoes with soil.

After covering everything with soil, finally cover the small pit with the weeds, just like covering them with a small quilt to prevent them from getting cold.

Finally, all the potatoes were planted in the ground.

At this time, An Yue was already exhausted and had back pain.

"Sister!" An Nian's voice was heard from afar.

An Nian returned from school.

He trotted towards An Yue, and when he got to An Yue, he quickly took the hoe from An Yue's hand.

As the sun set, the brother and sister walked back home with smiles on their faces.

After the brother and sister got home, they put down their farm tools. An Yue raised her head, stretched her spine, and patted her waist, shoulders and neck with her backhand.

An Nian looked at her sister who was exhausted and said with a smile: "Sister, are you tired?"

An Yue nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, a little bit."

"Sister, come here quickly. Niannian, give me a shoulder massage."

After An Nian finished speaking, he pulled An Yue to sit on the bench and gave An Yue a shoulder and back massage.

An Nian patted her back and said, "Sister, let Niannian cook for dinner! Sister will sit under the stove, pass the firewood and teach Niannian how to cook."

At this time, two people came to the door. They were Anqing and his aunt Zhang.

An Nian smiled and called out, "Brother An Qing."

"Niannian, are you massaging your sister's back?" Anqing said with a smile as he walked in.

An Nian hurriedly went forward and asked An Qing to sit down, and An Yue went to get a bowl to pour water for the mother and son.

An Nian said, "Brother An Qing, please sit here. I am a little tired from digging. Niannian, give me a back massage."

Anqing gently pinched An Nian's little face and praised: "Niannian is so good!"

"Yueyue, I heard from your brother that you asked him to help you farm?" Aunt Zhang couldn't help but ask straight to the point.

An Yue turned to look at her aunt and asked, "What do you think, aunt?"

"It's not impossible, but...how are you going to pay for it? How much?"

An Qing looked at his mother Zhang in astonishment and asked, "Mom! Didn't we agree on this before? Why...?"

It was obvious that what Aunt Zhang asked was inconsistent with what Anqing had said before.

An Yue thought that Brother Anqing must be worried about money these days as he is getting married, but he is too embarrassed to ask for it.

"Don't worry, auntie. I will give Brother Anqing the same amount of money he earns every day working outside every month."

Aunt Zhang glanced at An Yue in disbelief and said coldly, "Do you have money?"

"How? If Yueyue has money, will Auntie agree to let Brother Anqing help us farm?"

Anqing said firmly to the siblings, "Yueyue, Niannian, I promise to help you farm."

Then, he turned to his mother Zhang and said, "Mom, whether you agree to this or not, Qing'er will help them."

"You...you rebellious son! Do you want to piss me off to death?" Aunt Zhang pointed at Anqing and scolded him with a look of disappointment.

"Are you trying to force me to death? Your useless father has never been able to do anything in his life, and he has nothing left after eating!"

"We can't count on him for anything at home! Now that your lifelong event is just around the corner, I, your mother, am so worried that I can't sleep all night. Who of you, father and son, understands?"

As Zhang spoke, she began to wipe away her tears.

An Yue silently took out a tael of silver from her bosom and gave it to An Qing, saying:
