Then she remembered the dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips that Wei Ruo gave her when they first met.

Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: “You seem to be quite good at making snacks.”   

“It’s not just snacks, my Meimei is very clever and skillful, she can make a lot of delicious things.”

“Bring me more next time and I’ll give it to my big brother to try.” Xie Ying said.

“No problem.” Wei Ruo agreed, “By the way, where is your big brother?”

“He must be outside. He wouldn’t have rudely barged in if you were here. He’s been impolite once, and even if done it again, as a younger sister, I won’t be able to stand it anymore.” Xie Ying said.

“Then ask someone to bring some of these qiaoguo for him to eat. Just think of it as an apology for beating him up.” Wei Ruo said.

“Okay, after getting beaten up, he can still get so much delicious food. It’s an advantage for him.” Xie Ying said as she handed the qiaoguo Wei Ruo gave her to the maid.

“You and your big brother have such a good relationship.” Wei Ruo commented. Only if you have a good relationship, a sister would complain about her big brother like this.

“It can’t be helped, who made him my big brother. I would have wanted a big sister or a younger sister, but my mother didn’t give one to me.” Xie Ying said remembering something and added, “Of course I don’t want a sister like yours, it’s annoying.”

Wei Ruo laughed.

Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo and continued: “If she is as smart as you, I might consider it.”

“I can also consider it, after all, you have a straightforward personality. I don’t have to worry about guessing what you want to say.” Wei Ruo didn’t hide her fondness for Xie Ying.

“That’s it! I didn’t like to be hypocritical. If I like it, I like it, and if I don’t like it, I don’t like it. There’s nothing to pretend about!” Xie Ying said proudly.

After speaking, Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo and asked her: “Besides planting vegetables and flowers, what else do you like to do?”

“I like making money, a lot of money.” Wei Ruo replied.

“What do you want so much money for?” Xie Ying asked.

“I don’t know, but who would be dissatisfied with more money? The same goes for food. The more the better. I mean, if there is a famine, having food can ensure that you won’t starve to death.” Wei Ruo said.

“That’s right, I heard from my mother that the grain harvest in Xingshan County is expected to be very poor this year. Many families are trying to find ways to purchase grain from other places.” Xie Ying said helplessly.

“The price of purchasing grain from other places is definitely high, and ordinary people cannot afford it.” Wei Ruo commented.

Originally, ordinary people relied on a good autumn harvest after a busy year. They saved enough for next year’s food, and used the surplus to exchange for some silver and purchase other things.

If there was not enough food, where was the money to buy things?

“Ruo’er, fortunately you have cultivated the wasteland in the south of the city. If that batch of rice could grow, the situation would be much better.” Xie Ying couldn’t help but sigh.

“Even if the wasteland in the south of the city is fully developed, it won’t be able to catch up with this year’s late rice. We can only plant some seasonal vegetables such as rapeseed and broad beans, and the grain is still far from enough. You can remind your mother to bring more grain to Xingshan County if she can.” Wei Ruo said.

-broad beans

“Okay, I’ll tell my mother when I get back.” Xie Ying agreed.

When Wei Ruo saw Xie Ying was still looking at her, she asked: “Why are you looking at me again?”

“Wei Ruo, can we be considered good friends now?” Xie Ying asked.

“It seems so.”

“What do you mean ‘it seems so’. It’s a yes or no. Hurry up, I’ll give you a chance to be my good sister, do you agree or not?” Xie Ying said with a serious expression and domineering tone.
