“Second brother said he would come back in the second half of next month, but he didn’t specify the exact date.” Wei Ruo said.

“That’s fast. We’re already halfway through this month, and in another half month, the second young master will arrive at the end of next month. I just don’t know how long the second young master can stay this time.” Xiumei said.

“Take advantage of these few days to prepare some food for him, and give it to him when he leaves,” Wei Ruo said.

“Okay, leave this to me.”

Xiumei happily took on the task.

Two days later, Agui came to the Colonel’s Mansion to report on the situation of the experimental field in the south of the city.

When she learnt of the news, Mo mo Zhang first made a personal trip to the south of the city to confirm that there was no mistake, and then came back to ask Wei Ruo to identify whether the rice was ready to be harvested or not.

Although based on the experience of Mo mo Zhang, Agui, and Xiaoba, this rice was definitely ripe, but this experimental field was not like ordinary field, so they absolutely dared not make their own decisions.

After reading it, Wei Ruo did not immediately ask them to harvest it, but ordered Mo mo Zhang to go back to the mansion and report.

This experimental field was no longer Wei Ruo’s own field. Both the county government and Chu Lan were continuously monitoring it. They were all waiting for the field to be harvested and reported to the court.

Sure enough, after the report, not only Wei Mingting and County Head Magistrate Qian came, but also Chu Lan.

Seeing Chu Lan, Wei Ruo couldn’t help but wonder: What was this person doing? Why did he persistently bother to come here like a lingering ghost? Wouldn’t it be better to send Mo mo Qin to deal with this kind of thing?

Wei Ruo preferred to communicate with Mo mo Qin far more than with Chu Lan.

Although she secretly didn’t like them, when she met them, Wei Ruo still greeted them one by one:

“Greetings to Father, greetings to Lord Qian, greetings to Young Master Chu.”

“No need to be courteous.” County Head Magistrate Qian said, and then his gaze moved to the golden-coloured rice field next to him.

Because the early rice in Xingshan County had been harvested, County Head Magistrate Qian probably knew the situation of yield per unit.

Looking at Wei Ruo’s batch of late rice in front of him, there was no need to wait for the weighing after harvesting. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, one could clearly feel the good growth.

This rice variety was really good!

Of course, this rice field was also well improved!

“Lord Wei, I think the rice field improvement of your daughter is really amazing! Looking at the heavy ears of rice*, I can’t help regretting that I didn’t discover this ability of your daughter earlier, so that the people of Xingshan County may not have to face the problem of food shortage this year.” County Head Magistrate Qian couldn’t help sighing.

*Heavy ears of rice describes rice plants that are laden with ripe, full grains, making the stalks heavy and often bending under the weight. This phrase is often used to convey the idea of abundance and a bountiful harvest.

Wei Mingting’s face was also filled with joy and excitement at this moment.

He turned to Wei Ruo and seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, all he could say was one sentence, “Ruo’er, both Father and the people of Xingshan County want to thank you!”

Wei Ruo did not respond, quietly waiting for the last and most important person, Chu Lan, to express his opinion.

County Head Magistrate Qian and Wei Mingting also looked at Chu Lan.

Chu Lan did not immediately express his opinion, but once again looked at Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo knew he was looking at her, so she deliberately did not look at him.

After a while, Chu Lan said, “This rice field is enough to prove that Miss Wei’s words on that day were true. Whether it’s Miss Wei’s ability to improve the land or the new rice varieties, they are all very excellent.”

“Thank you for the praise, Young Master Chu.” Wei Ruo calmly responded to Chu Lan’s compliment without looking up.

“Has Miss Wei thought about what kind of reward you want?” Chu Lan asked.
