In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 181 Harvest Scene

On the morning of August 21st, after Chen Ruotong had arranged all matters, she dressed in a black suit, stood as straight as a pine tree, waved a folding fan in her hand, walked out of the Huicui Building with steady and powerful steps as if strolling in the garden.

Her outfit made her look heroic, in stark contrast to the bustling environment around her.

The streets were crowded with people and cars, but Chen Ruotong felt a little worried at the moment, because she knew that there was a tail following her closely - Xiao Liuzi was almost becoming her full-time bodyguard, following her wherever she went.

Chen Ruotong decided to use the crowd to get rid of this trouble.

So, she deliberately walked towards the crowded place, hoping to use this opportunity to make Xiao Liuzi lose his way.

Xiao Liuzi always maintained a leisurely and neither too far nor too close distance, and kept a close eye on her figure.

In desperation, Chen Ruotong began to turn frequently, trying to get rid of the opponent through the complex terrain.

Finally, she successfully turned into a quiet and secluded alley.

According to past experience, whenever the Fourth Master Chen entered the alley, he would be lost. Therefore, Xiao Liuzi did not dare to delay and immediately quickened his pace to catch up.

However, this time the situation was completely beyond Xiao Liuzi's expectations.

Young Master Chen Si stopped and stood steadily in the middle of the alley, not moving.

Seeing this, Xiao Liuzi hurriedly stopped and also stopped. For a moment, the two stood face to face, their eyes met, and they stared at each other for two full seconds.

Then, Chen Ruotong took the lead in breaking the silence, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile:

"Hey, boy, your tracking skills are really good! I tried so hard to get rid of you, but to no avail. You're like a sticky dumpling, sticking to me. Aren't you tired?" Her tone was light and teasing, as if she didn't take the matter to heart.

Xiao Liuzi said, "You are good-looking, why should I follow you? This alley is not yours. I can go wherever I want. What does it have to do with you?"

"Hey, I am just good-looking, but you are just being stubborn! Come here, let's have a fight, and I will break your mouth." Chen Ruotong deliberately provoked.

Xiao Liuzi had been unhappy with Chen Ruotong for a long time and had wanted to beat her up. When he heard this, he became furious and flew forward to punch Chen Ruotong.

Chen Ruotong dodged and blocked with a fan. Xiao Liuzi punched the fan and followed Chen Ruotong into the space.

Chen Ruotong threw Xiao Liuzi into the bathroom, then changed into a light green gown and a pair of white thin-soled short boots, left the space with a fan in her hand, and turned out of the alley.

She hired a carriage, went out of the south city gate, got on the official road, and headed towards Pingyang Prefecture.

When the carriage reached a deserted place, she got off, gave him some money, and asked him to return to the capital.

When the carriage went away, she took out a telescope and looked around. When she was sure that there was no one around, she entered the space, drove the electric car, and sped away.

If there were no pedestrians on the road, they would drive for a while, and if they met people, they would hide in the space for a while. In this way, they arrived safely at Pingyang Prefecture around two o'clock in the afternoon.

After two months, she is back now. She feels very nostalgic for her hometown. Although Pingyang City is not as prosperous and lively as the capital, it is her hometown after all! Here she has a family that loves her and her business...

When Chen Ruotong entered the Chen Mansion, there were only two female masters in the huge mansion. The eldest sister-in-law Leng Xueqin and the second sister-in-law He Xiaolian were at home looking after the house, while the others had gone to the farm to work on the autumn harvest.

The two sisters-in-law greeted her at the door with their big bellies, "Fourth brother is back, you must have worked hard on the journey. The kitchen has prepared lunch, let's go and eat!"

"The two sisters-in-law have worked even harder, so go back to the house and rest!"

As the brother-in-law now, it was inconvenient for Chen Ruotong to chat for long with his two sisters-in-law, so he returned to his room, entered the space to wash up, and then went to eat.

There were a few unfamiliar faces among the servants, boys and maids in the house. These were the ones that Old Man Chen had bought not long ago.

Due to the complicated household affairs, there has always been a shortage of manpower, so we either have to hire others or buy them out.

Today, the Chen family has become a veritable wealthy and prestigious family in Pingyang Prefecture.

After lunch, Chen Ruotong did not go to Huicui Building and Zhenpin Pavilion, but took a horse-drawn carriage to the farm in the western suburbs to check on the autumn harvest.

Qi Si's leg injury had long since recovered. He was very excited when he saw Chen Ruotong again. "Sir, you are back? The old man misses you every day."

Chen Ruotong sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and chatted with Qi Si, "How is the old man's health recently?"

"The old man is in good health. He hasn't been home for several days. He is busy with the autumn harvest in the farm!"

Chen Ruotong sat upright in the spacious and comfortable carriage, chatting and laughing with Qi Si.

Along the way, they talked about trivial matters at home, the latest news of their relatives and interesting things in life.

Whenever she heard the news that her family was safe, Chen Ruotong would feel a little relieved, and at the same time, she could not help but feel an indescribable sense of happiness and satisfaction in her heart.

This feeling was like warm sunshine spreading all over her body, making her feel extremely comfortable and at ease.

Soon, Chen Ruotong arrived at the farm. As soon as she got off the car, she was shocked by the picture of the harvest in front of her.

The large yard was filled with golden rice, wheat, fruits and vegetables.

The most lively places are the potato fields and sweet potato fields.

At this time, Magistrate Zhang arrived at the scene and watched the tenant farmers working hard with great interest.

Holding farm tools, they dug potatoes and sweet potatoes from the soil. Soon, mountains of potatoes and sweet potatoes were piled up in the fields. These abundant fruits made people happy.

Magistrate Zhang couldn't help laughing when he saw the scene of the bumper harvest.

He knew very well that the reason why this fertile land could produce such abundant products was inseparable from the hard work and dedication of the farmers.

This hard-earned harvest not only means that people's lives will be improved, but also symbolizes the prosperity and prosperity of this region.

Everyone present was infected by the joyful atmosphere, showing happy smiles and sharing this happy moment that belonged to everyone.

Chen Ruotong was so excited that she quickly ran to Magistrate Zhang and her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, Uncle Zhang, I'm back..."

They both turned around, and Old Man Chen said, "Xiao Si is finally back. I've been waiting for you to come back to harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes. The crops you planted on your farm are all treasures!"

Prefect Zhang also rubbed his hands and said, "Guchuan, the government's land produced more than 30,000 kilograms of potatoes! Your land should produce more than 200,000 kilograms, right? If you distribute these to farmers in the prefecture and county for planting, then every family will have potatoes to eat next year..."

Chen Ruotong smiled happily, "Yes, yes, these potatoes should be able to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people! Let's try the sweet potatoes and see how they taste!"

Chen Ruotong asked the servant to take a few baskets of potatoes and sweet potatoes to the kitchen, boil them, and bring them out for everyone to taste...
