Chapter 260: Running in the Fields
Qin Xiangnuan was just a little harsh on herself. Before reaching the border, she had imagined things to be too good to be true, so the current situation was so disappointing.
If it was just Qin Xiangnuan, she wouldn't care, but she has a family behind her.
It is undeniable that Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help feeling moved and warm when she heard Qin Guang's words.
"Your father is right." Liu looked at the sad expression between Qin Xiangnuan's brows and didn't want her daughter to bear so much.
"It doesn't matter if we live in tents forever," Liu continued. "You've already made a three-month agreement with the official, so your father will take care of the accommodation."
Qin Xiangnuan nodded.
But before starting to deal with the farmland, Qin Xiangnuan still spent half a month buying several plots of land and looking for places to provide building materials.
After arranging things here, Qin Xiangnuan devoted herself to the fields all day long.
"Third Miss, you see, you have to double the harvest of this entire wasteland."
Behind Qin Xiangnuan was the official from that day. Qin Xiangnuan had been dealing with him a lot over the past few days.
"Sir Li, I haven't forgotten." Qin Xiangnuan's purchase of land and setting up of tents were all finalized by Sir Li, so Qin Xiangnuan was polite enough when dealing with Sir Li.
"Just wait patiently." Qin Xiangnuan turned around and looked at Lord Li with a smile.
The thoughts between Lord Li's brows were retracted the moment Qin Xiangnuan turned around, but they still did not escape Qin Xiangnuan's eyes.
Qin Xiangnuan knew that Lord Li was still very concerned about the lives of the people living in the border areas, but it was obvious that he really had no way to help.
So once they caught Qin Xiangnuan, who might have a way, they would not let her go easily.
Qin Xiangnuan's words of reassurance did not reassure Lord Li. He put his hands behind his back and looked at her seriously, "Half a month has passed, and the Third Miss still hasn't made any progress!"
"There are still some." Qin Xiangnuan said with a smile. She has come to the fields every day in the past half month.
Qin Xiangnuan discovered that this was a wasteland. The farmland itself was not suitable for growing crops, so the first thing that needed to be saved was the land itself.
After half a month of Qin Xiangnuan's rescue efforts, it has been effective, which can be seen with the naked eye. However, Lord Li was staring at Qin Xiangnuan's actions and did not notice it.
Qin Xiangnuan's initial appearance in the fields caused dissatisfaction among the others, but in just a few days, she became a powerful figure in the eyes of others.
"Third Miss, I have forgotten the method you told me yesterday. Can you tell me again?" An old farmer came here five years ago because he was framed.
"Uncle Zhang, I'll come to find you later. You rest here first." Qin Xiangnuan was talking to another elder brother at this time. He took the time to turn around and shouted to the old farmer.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." After receiving the reply, Uncle Zhang sat down quietly in front of the field.
Qin Xiangnuan heard that Uncle Wang, another person who was on good terms with Uncle Zhang, came here together. Although he was not a good official who spoke up for the people when he was in office, he was not a bad official who made things difficult for the people.
Since arriving at the border, he seemed to understand the hardships of the people and became particularly concerned about farming.
At this time, Uncle Wang heard the conversation between Qin Xiangnuan and Uncle Zhang, and came over. He said to Uncle Zhang with some dissatisfaction: "You have to let the third lady talk to you all day long so that you can remember it!"
Uncle Zhang scoffed. "So you've remembered it? Then tell me how to do it."
Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice to cover up his forgetfulness, "I, I was not there that day, who knows who you are talking about?"
Uncle Zhang glanced at him, suppressed the smile on his face, and thought that Uncle Wang was already in such an embarrassing situation, so he stopped making fun of him.
Qin Xiangnuan finished her conversation with the older brother quickly, and when she walked up to the two of them, she was noticed immediately.
Without waiting for Qin Xiangnuan to stand still, the two men each pulled one of her arms and stared at each other, fighting for Qin Xiangnuan.
"Uncles, if you keep pulling my arm, it will be removed." Qin Xiangnuan couldn't hide her smile at all, making the two uncles blush.
The two of them let go of her at the same time and asked about her injuries worriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Xiangnuan was fine to begin with, and seeing that the two had stopped fighting, she quickly solved their problem.
Before we knew it, the sun was about to set.
"Why are you still standing here?" Qin Guang asked Liu, who was standing outside like a man waiting for her husband. Of course, Qin Guang knew she was looking at Qin Xiangnuan. "Is Nuannuan not back yet?"
Liu shook her head. "You said it's too dangerous for an unmarried woman like her to come home so late all day."
The other men of the Qin family walked over behind Qin Guang.
Qin Feng shook his arms and said to Liu: "Aunt, not to mention that my cousin can fight three people alone, she doesn't want us to follow her!"
When Qin Xiangnuan returned home late on the first day, the Qin family expressed their concern for her and asked someone else to accompany her.
Qin Xiangnuan refused on the grounds that they needed more manpower to build the house. They couldn't convince Qin Xiangnuan and had to agree to her request.
But seeing that Qin Xiangnuan's return is getting later and later, how can people not be worried.
"I'm going to find Nuannuan." Qin Guang said as he turned around and was about to leave.
But at this moment, he saw Qin Xiangnuan's figure.
"Nuannuan, why are you so late again!" Liu took a few steps forward, her tone filled with reproach.
Qin Xiangnuan smiled apologetically, "I was really busy and came back a little late."
"Mom, I've already told you that you don't have to wait for me every day." Qin Xiangnuan was covered in mud and didn't want to touch Liu. When she approached, he couldn't help but take a step back.
Liu's face immediately darkened, and Qin Xiangnuan quickly said, "Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
Qin Xiangnuan turned around and continued to say to her: "Mom, I promise to come back early tomorrow, don't be angry!"
Qin Guang also came over at this time. Several of them stood outside, so that if others heard what was happening, they would think that there was discord in the Qin family.
"Nuannuan is back. Let her go wash up quickly. She can rest after that." Qin Guang said in a slow tone.
Qin Xiangnuan nodded in agreement, and after a few more words of sermon from Qin Wu and Qin Yi, the matter was over.
"Little cousin." When Qin Xiangnuan walked to Qin Feng's side, Qin Feng looked at her and moved closer to her, saying, "You really don't need me to follow you? Uncle and the others are all very capable, they don't need me anymore."
Qin Xiangnuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Have you ever farmed?"
Qin Feng shook his head, "But I can be your guard."
"Thank you." Qin Xiangnuan curled her lips, and when she saw Qin Feng's joy constantly on his face, she said, "But I don't need it."
