Chapter 27

Xiaoxiao knew her family’s biggest worry about the two acres of land. They thought that the grain planted would not be able to support everyone in the family. In this world, the general output of rice was only 200 to 300 catties per acre. No matter how carefully they served the two acres of middle-quality land, the harvest would not exceed 500 catties.

The farmers only ate two meals a day, but there were five members of the Ning family, and they had to use rice to exchange for other necessities. 500 catties of rice would not be enough to last a year, but this worry was under the premise that the entire family only relied on farming to survive.

Moreover, if they planted more land, they would have more things to do. Xiaoxiao did not want to let her family be tired all day long.

Xiaoxiao felt she had a long way to go and could not help but clench her fists.

Although Rong Yan did not know why she suddenly looked so serious, he could not help but urge her to get on the handcart when he saw the dark circles under her eyes and her yawns.

He worried her slender ankle would break if she walked too much.

Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. She was sitting, and he was pulling the car. What was she doing?

However, Yun Yi finally found a way to repay her. How could she let her be polite? “I won’t even pant even if I pull ten of you. Huh, why don’t you guys go up too?”

Ning Dalang afraid that Yun Yi would drag the two of them into the cart, immediately turned around and pressed his sister onto the cart with Ning Erlang.

Xiaoxiao also casually declined. Seeing that the others insisted, she happily sat down. Before she stuck out her butt, she even asked her second brother to put the bag she had brought before leaving the house under her butt.

The sun was slightly warm, and the breeze was gentle. Xiaoxiao crossed her legs and wanted to hum a song in satisfaction. Ning Erlang gritted his teeth and said, “Look how you’re sitting. If Mother sees this, she’ll say you can’t get married!”

Xiaoxiao didn’t care. “It doesn’t matter. As the saying goes, finding a lover in this world is hard. If someone likes me, no matter how I look, he will like me. He must be hypocritical if he doesn’t like me when he sees me like this. It’s fine not to marry such a person.”

Ning Erlang was suspicious. “Is that so?”

Rong Yan gave her a strange look. This was the first time he had heard a woman say such a thing.

Ning Dalang coughed lightly and reminded his younger brother not to discuss such a topic with his younger sister in front of outsiders. Ning Erlang quickly stopped him. However, Xiaoxiao was too high and continued to say. She got up from the cart and said to her brothers, “Don’t randomly matchmake me in the future. I have to choose the person I like myself.”

“He must be a handsome man who’s talented in martial arts…”

Ning Dalang stuffed the last burrito into her mouth and glanced awkwardly at Rong Yan and his companion.

Fortunately, Rong Yan pretended not to hear.

However, Ning Dalang didn’t see that Rong Yan’s ears were slightly red. Was the girl praising him?

She was young, but she had a lot of flowery words. Also, she didn’t know how to be tactful…

He was not like those ignorant fools in the village. A few sweet words would not tempt him.

They couldn’t be together, but perhaps he could help her lead a better life as much as possible. It would not be vain for her to put in so much effort for him.

Rong Yan had been strict with his family’s etiquette since he was young. He had never heard anyone express their feelings so bluntly, nor did he know how to respond to such passionate words. His usually clear and intelligent mind was in a mess. When he finally adjusted his expression and turned around, Xiaoxiao slept soundly.

His mood was a little subtle.

He knew that Xiaoxiao didn’t know who she was. To be able to like him without knowing his identity, she had to admit that her taste was not bad.
