Hearing Yun's praise of Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan couldn't help but tighten her fists.

Now both her father and mother feel that her sister is better than her.

Wei Qingwan followed Yun's words and said casually: "Yes, if only sister had told us earlier."

After hearing this, Yun's expression froze slightly.

She didn't know that the eldest daughter's rice seeds were useful, but the eldest daughter herself should know.

However, this idea only stayed in Yun's mind for a while. She soon thought that when she came back to pick up her eldest daughter, their early rice was already being planted.

"It shouldn't be Ruo'er's fault. I remember that when she came back, the fields were already planting rice. When she told me that she wanted me to change rice seeds, I probably wouldn't have believed her right away," said Yun.

Yun still remembers this matter clearly. When her daughter first said that she wanted to improve the land in the south of the city, she was still opposed to it. She didn't believe that her eldest daughter really had this ability.

"Yes...yes, my daughter almost forgot. It turns out that my sister came back at that time. I forgot about it." Wei Qingwan's face hurriedly agreed.

Just when Yun was worried about food, things from Zhongyi's Mansion in the capital arrived.

It was a gift from the old man and Wei Mingting's two elder brothers to congratulate Wei Mingting on his promotion.

Among them were several cartloads of rice. The water route in the first half was faster, but the land route after passing Hangzhou delayed a lot of time, so it was not delivered until today.

Seeing the carts full of things, Yun was overjoyed.

Although Yun's mind is also clear, the reason why her father-in-law and her two brothers are so enthusiastic must be because her husband has been promoted and is now the only serious official in Zhongyi's house. He is almost relied on by Zhongyi's house.

But it has to be said that this part of the food is her urgent need.

In addition to food, Uncle Zhongyi's residence also sent some cloth and jewelry, which were given by the old uncle and the old lady.

"Third Madam, these are given to the eldest lady by the old uncle and the old lady."

The person who came to give the gift specifically explained.

"Okay." Mrs. Yun agreed and at the same time looked at Wei Qingwan beside her, with concern in her eyes.

Wei Qingwan's face turned a little pale, but she forced a smile in the face of Yun's concerned gaze.

But her smile made Yun feel even more pity.

Before Mrs. Yun opened her mouth to talk about this matter, Wei Qingwan took the lead and said, "Mom, my daughter is fine. My sister has just returned home. My grandparents should pay more attention to my sister."

Hearing her daughter's sensible words, Yun's heart became even heavier.

Yun took a look at the cloth and jewelry in front of her, her heart wavered for a while, and then said: "Wanwan, when the house becomes more wealthy next time, mother will buy some more for you."

In her heart, Mrs. Yun really wanted to give some to Wei Qingwan, but she still had some sense. These cloths and jewelry were different from those last time. These things had to be worn.

They will still have to return to the capital in the future. When the time comes, their parents-in-law will definitely not be happy if they know that she secretly gave these things that were designated for the eldest daughter to the second daughter.

No matter how much Yun wanted to take care of her second daughter, she would not dare to go against her parents-in-law.

Hearing Yunshi's words, Wei Qingwan was stunned and looked at Yunshi blankly.

"What's wrong with Wanwan?" Mrs. Yun looked at Wei Qingwan in confusion.

"It's okay, mother, I'm okay..." Wei Qingwan immediately came to her senses and repeatedly stressed that she was okay.

"Well, it's fine." Yun didn't think much about it. She knew Wanwan's temperament. It was inevitable that her grandparents' attitude would make her a little sad, but she would definitely not have other thoughts.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Yun said again: "Mom, there is a set of pearl hair and facial hair there. I planned to give it to you when you were old enough to have hairpins. Now I plan to give it to you first and wear it gracefully when I go to Fucheng."

Yunshi was thinking this way not only because of what happened today, but also what happened with Yun Brocade. She didn't want Wanwan to feel too wronged, and she didn't want Wanwan to be dressed much worse than her eldest daughter when she went to Fucheng.

"No, no, my daughter won't need it. She still has some dignity, so I'll keep it for myself." Wei Qingwan quickly refused.

"It's useful. You are my mother's daughter. From now on, my mother's things will belong to you and Ruo'er." Yun said with relief.

"Then... then my daughter thanked her mother." Wei Qingwan did not refuse anymore, and said with a shy expression of gratitude.

"Silly boy, tell me thank you. Let's go and follow my mother to the house."

Mrs. Yun took Wei Qingwan's hand and walked towards her house, ready to hand over the set of pearls to Wei Qingwan now.

The things designated by Uncle Zhongyi's house to be given to Wei Ruo were sent to Tingsongyuan.

The box this time is not big, but the items are much more valuable than the bronze ornaments I sent the first time.

"Miss, here is a set of gold jewelry! There are also some jade jewelry, they all look expensive." Xiumei said in surprise.

Wei Ruo was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Uncle Zhongyi actually gave him some valuable jewelry.

Although those cloths are not as valuable as cloud brocade, there is a whole box, and they are also made of satin, so the price is not cheap.

"Sure enough, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how the Zhongyi Mansion declines, it still has some foundation after all." Wei Ruo muttered.

What makes Wei Ruo curious is why the old uncle and the old lady gave him such expensive things. This has never happened in the original work.

After thinking about it, the difference from the original work is that her achievements in the south of the city brought benefits to the Wei family.

Therefore, the two elderly people did not completely cherish her granddaughter, who they had never met before. Their actions were more based on family interests.

But this is good, at least the money is given in real money. Wei Ruo likes this method very much.

For several days, the long-term workers in Xiaoyangshan were busy harvesting sweet potatoes, and several warehouses purchased in advance were filled to the brim.

The production of dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips was immediately put on the agenda.

Following Wei Ruo's instructions, the wet nurse specially selected women from poor families to learn how to make dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato slices, and then gave them the work of making a large number of dried sweet potatoes.

Each person was paid five cents per day as wages plus a large sweet potato per person.

This income is not high, but for village women who have trouble eating, it is a very good job. At least it can prevent them from going hungry, and the work intensity is not very high, so they can do it.

At the same time, next to Sibaozhai, a food shop opened bustlingly.

The name of the shop is very simple and straightforward: Xu Ji Liang Shop.

The store mainly sells grains - rice and sweet potatoes, and also sells fresh and dried mushrooms.

Some dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips are also sold, and the price is the same as those sold in preserved fruit stores.
