Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 148

After talking, Shiliu went to the stove to make breakfast. Father Qian knew that his mother-in-law was too angry to make breakfast, so he had to be busy making breakfast in the stove.Pomegranate came in and saw her father-in-law making breakfast, and thought it was very rare, because she hadn't seen her father-in-law cooking breakfast for so long after she married, "Father, let me cook, today Qian Feng and I will be in the same pot with you eat."

Father Qian took off the dough in his hand, "Okay, come on, porridge is already cooked in the pot. I'll go to the field to see if the snow has melted. I guess the field will be plowed in ten days or so."

Father Qian went to the field with his hoe on his shoulder, Mrs. Yang sat at the door in a daze, Ge Taohua boiled medicine while making breakfast, and Qian Tong sighed in her room.

Qian Feng put on his clothes, regenerated a pot of fire, brought it in front of his mother, and sat to warm up together.

"Feng'er, you said your brother is like this now, what should we do with the field work?" Yang scolded Ge Taohua just now for exhausting all his strength, and now his words are limp.

Qian Feng didn't know what to do either. He didn't know how to farm the fields himself, so he couldn't take care of the job. He even relied on pomegranates for most of his talk in the fields.It’s okay to ask the workshop workers to help, but they are here to earn wages, so it’s okay to ask them to work for themselves, because Pomegranate is pregnant, and she can’t do much work at that time, but the work at the brother’s house will also let them work. Do it, this will affect your impression in the minds of the workshop workers.

He was hesitating when Ge Taohua threw it over and said, "Mother, I can do all these jobs by myself, at most I'm tired."

Yang glanced at her sideways, "Your family has the most land, and Zhang Lizheng may have to transfer some more land to us in a few days. Can you do it all by yourself?"

"Yes!" Ge Taohua gritted her teeth and said firmly, no matter whether she could or not, she had to grit her teeth and carry it.

Yang sighed, "Okay, when the time comes, you will be busy with the work in the field, and I will help brew the medicine and watch Tong'er at home. Just now I counted the days, and I will not have a baby until Tonger will be raised for about a hundred days. Don't delay things. It's just... your family doesn't have much money in the first place, and Tong'er can't do odd jobs to earn money, so don't you have to delay Song Qiu's private school?"

Qian Feng suddenly had an idea, "Mother, brother, he will be able to go to the ground with a cane in a month. Don't I still have dozens of silkworm seeds at my place? Even the dustpan is ready-made, and the silkworms have to wait for about two months." It’s just come out, let the elder brother raise silkworms. Last time I told the silkworm harvester that I will go to him this spring, and I can earn three or four thousand yuan if I raise them.”

Ge Taohua's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Qian Feng in surprise, but Mrs. Yang shook her head and said, "That's not okay, didn't you say last time that you still have to raise them this year, that your work on the mountain is not busy, Just watch the workshop workers work, you still have a lot of free time. If you give such a good job to your brother, you don’t know how much money you can earn from Shitoushan. What kind of Mr. Qu wants to take advantage of it? Some oil and water."

When Ge Taohua heard what her mother-in-law said, her surprise was suppressed again.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang was really thinking about her youngest son, Qian Feng couldn't help laughing, "Mom, you're just worrying. Of course I said that because I have a job to do, and I'm sure I can make money. I have to choose some careful people." People like to make flowerpots, pen holders and inkstones, and stone tables and benches are even more important. These are delicate tasks, and I have to lead them to do them myself, and I don’t have time to raise silkworms.”

Seeing Songqiu playing beside him, Qian Feng said, "Songqiu, go to my house and show the silkworms to your father. It's in the drawer of my closet. Those are all good silkworms."

"Hey." Pine Ball ran in to find Canzi.

Yang didn't say anything more, the youngest son knew it was a good thing to help his brother, and she didn't stop her.Ge Taohua beamed, "Thank you, second brother, so Song Qiu can go to private school this summer."

After discussing the matter, Pomegranate came out to greet everyone for breakfast.

After breakfast, I had to go to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings, because Qian Tong was lying on the bed, so he couldn't go to my aunt's house, and Ge Taohua didn't have the mood to go now, so Qian Feng and Shiliu had to take Pine Ball and Sui'er to go.

Qian Feng and Shiliu took their two children out, and Yang yelled at Ge Taohua: "The medicine is ready, hurry up and give it to Tong'er. Also, Shiliu's family will come over for dinner tomorrow. You have to be more courteous when the time comes, Feng'er has given you such a good job, so you have to know what is good or bad."

Ge Taohua rubbed her hands, nodded and said, "Mother, I understand."

"By the way, when will your natal family come to eat, will your brother-in-law and younger brothers come?"

Ge Taohua muttered, and said in a low voice: "My mother said...they will all come, but it will take a few days until the snow on the mountain...the snow has all melted."

Yang rolled her eyes at her, "Are you stupid or not? Your mother also knows that she will wait for the snow to melt. Why don't you know?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law brought up this topic again, Ge Taohua hurried into the house with the medicine, and now she can hide as much as she can, she knows that because of this matter, her mother-in-law doesn't know how long her complaints will stop.

Qian Feng and Shiliu went to the aunt's house, because it was not too far away from the second aunt's house, they also went to the second aunt's house by the way, and then returned to the aunt's house for dinner.The two aunts naturally wanted to ask why Qian Tong and Ge Taohua didn't go, so Qian Feng had to tell the truth, but after lunch, the two aunts and cousins ​​all followed Qian Feng to Qianjia Village to see Qian Tong.

The custom here is like this, whenever someone is seriously injured or sick, they have to come and have a look, and give some gifts along the way.

Because of this, Yang Shi, Shiliu, and Ge Taohua were too busy to turn around at night, and it was not easy to entertain so many people for a meal.

At noon on the second day, everyone except Shiliu's natal family came to eat, and some relatives who came to see Qian Tong also came. Anyway, sooner or later they would come to celebrate the New Year for dinner, and these relatives happened to do two things together.

Only when Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Tian came here did they know that something happened to Qian Feng's eldest brother, but they only brought New Year's greetings, not Qian Tong.Seeing that it was still early, Father Tian ordered Shi Yazi to go to the town to buy it, but Qian Feng couldn't stop him, so let Shi Yazi go.

Mrs. Lin pulled Pomegranate and talked in the hut, "Pomegranate, you are a healthy person now, don't rush to work, it's not good to stretch your body, then your mother-in-law will not only praise you for doing a lot of work, but also Scolding you for being ignorant and flashing your baby. A woman has to value herself, and if you don't value yourself, others will not take you seriously."

Shi Liu pouted and said, "Mother, that's not what you said when I got married. You wanted me to work more and eat less."
