Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 280 I Love You

After Ruan Qingqing sorted out her thoughts, she quickly ate breakfast and went to look for the mulberry tree. She hadn't found anyone suitable to accompany her yet, so she decided to go alone.

But before she left the City Lord's Mansion, she was stopped by Chi Jingxiao.

"The work in the field is almost done, why don't you take a good rest?"

Ruan Qingqing looked at the many young people standing behind him and was stunned. "I'm going to go out and look for mulberry trees. I'll plan a mulberry forest and make it convenient for everyone to raise silkworms."

Ruan Qingqing didn't hide it from him.

"Let's go together! We are looking for those plants anyway, and the mulberry tree won't be too much." Chi Jingxiao invited casually.

Ruan Qingqing hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Let's go together!"

Because local young people were involved, and Chi Jingxiao usually trained wolves in many places, it was not difficult for them to find him.

Ruan Qingqing asked everyone to peel the hemp skin while digging the roots, and reminded them that they could ask relatives and friends to peel it together. She also asked everyone to soak the peeled hemp skin in the pond for one night after returning home, and send it to the city lord's mansion the next day. She would buy it.

As soon as the news got out, everyone was immediately excited and went home to call their friends to peel the hemp together. There was no need for Ruan Qingqing to go along with them to look for it. They wanted to take all the hemp home.

After Chi Jingxiao arranged for someone to send back the roots that Ruan Qingqing had dug, he followed Ruan Qingqing to look for mulberry trees. They dug up all the young trees and memorized the locations of the older ones.

Gradually, Chi Jingxiao figured out something. "Are you planning to promote the textile industry and let women weave cloth and make clothes?"

"Well, it is far from enough to rely on laws and regulations to constrain the people to treat women well. Only when they see that women can also earn money, and even earn more than men, will everyone truly re-examine the status of women in the family."

"But relying solely on hemp and silkworm farming may not be enough to accommodate all the women in the three cities." Chi Jingxiao said hesitantly.

"Well, later I also want to buy wool from the Moliang people, twist the wool into yarn and weave warm clothes. There will also be some handicrafts, and then I can sell them directly with the help of the platform built by Chase and others." Ruan Qingqing said with a smile.

"You have even thought of the sales channel?" Chi Jingxiao raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Of course! How can something fall into my hands?" Ruan Qingqing smiled proudly.

This smile left Chi Jingxiao stunned for a long time.

"Brother Chi, let's go!"

"Oh oh." He immediately followed and rushed to the front to clear the way again.

After working until noon, Chi Jingxiao looked at the position of the sun in the sky and said, "Let's find a place to rest!"

"Okay, I'll just mark the hemp field and the place with mulberry trees that I passed by this morning." Ruan Qingqing immediately took out a charcoal pencil and paper, found a cool and clean place, and started writing and drawing again. Unlike before, this time she drew a clearer map.

Chi Jingxiao called a wolf over and asked it to patrol near Ruan Qingqing while he went hunting and prepared to have a barbecue meal for lunch.

When Ruan Qingqing finished painting, she looked up and saw Chi Jingxiao grilling meat. Not to mention the grilled meat sprinkled with cumin powder and pepper powder, the aroma was very overbearing and rushed into her nostrils.

She swallowed her saliva again and again.

Chi Jingxiao turned to look at her, "Are you hungry? I'll be ready soon!"

"Are you bringing seasonings with you when you go out?" Ruan Qingqing put away her pen and paper and asked as she walked closer.

"Get used to it! Come and try my cooking." Chi Jingxiao took the barbecue from the rack and handed it to Ruan Qingqing.

Ruan Qingqing looked at the golden roasted chicken in front of her, which was shiny and oily, and her appetite was whetted. She blew on it and took a bite impatiently.

The skin is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The juice flows out when you bite it. The fragrance of cumin powder and the numbing taste of pepper powder explode in your mouth. Ruan Qingqing feels that she can finish ten more.

"Mm, it's delicious! You're a good cook!"

"It's delicious, eat more!" Chi Jingxiao smiled indulgently.

Ruan Qingqing shook the barbecue in her hand towards him, "Of course!"

Chi Jingxiao was not in a hurry to eat, but picked some mint leaves, tore the meat from his skewer with a dagger, and put it on the mint leaves.

"Come and try the barbecue here. How does it taste?"

Ruan Qingqing took a piece and put it in her mouth and chewed it. "It has a refreshing taste and seems to be more delicious!"

"How about you eat here?"

Ruan Qingqing looked at him, "What about you?"

"I have two more!" Chi Jingxiao took out two more barbecues like a magic trick.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingqing smiled brightly, "Then I won't be polite!"

"Eat it!"

Chi Jingxiao looked at Ruan Qingqing eating like a little squirrel with her mouth full, and curled up the corners of his mouth quietly.

"Eat it yourself!"

Ruan Qingqing, who was busy eating, saw that he was in a daze and urged him on.

“Okay!” Chi Jingxiao didn’t care about the food when he was eating, he just picked it up and started eating.

After eating a rabbit and a chicken, Ruan Qingqing burped several times. "I ate so much without realizing it. Brother Chi, I didn't expect you to be so good at grilling meat!"

“From now on, whenever you want to eat it, I will roast it for you, forever!” Chi Jingxiao said uncomfortably, looking away.

"Huh? I told you not to use the life-saving grace to tie yourself down. You roast me for the rest of your life, and you don't worry that your future sister-in-law will be unhappy?" Ruan Qingqing joked.

"No sister-in-law, Ruan Qingqing, I like you! I have liked you for a long time, not because of some bullshit life-saving grace!

I was tortured by the barbarians before, and I wanted to come back to see you again because I love you and don’t want to have any regrets in this life; the reason why I said I would live to protect you for the rest of my life is not because of your life-saving grace, but because I love you, and I want to do my best to keep you safe, keep you happy, and protect you for a long time!"

Chi Jingxiao held Ruan Qingqing's shoulders with both hands, looked at her very seriously, and poured out all his thoughts that had been buried for a long time.

After getting started, he found that it was not difficult to express his feelings.

Ruan Qingqing's heart trembled suddenly, and she stood there in a daze. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"So every time I was unhappy or had something on my mind, you always appeared by my side? So you remembered which buns I usually eat? So you are always sometimes normal and sometimes weird?"

Chi Jingxiao hugged her into his arms and said angrily, "Don't laugh at me!"

"No joke, thank you for your silent protection all the time! It's just that I have a lot of things to do, and I'm afraid I can't respond to you on everything. And I won't give up my ideals and what I want to do because of anyone." Ruan Qingqing stepped out of his arms, looked at him seriously, and said word by word.

"Just do what you want to do, and work hard to achieve your dreams. I won't restrict or limit you in any way. I'm content to be able to guard you openly and honestly."
