Reborn Big Brother: Farming Daily Life

Chapter 69

boom! boom! boom!
For the umpteenth time, Song Jingtian threw the small stone in his hand at the skinny pumpkin in the corner of the yard.The skin of this kind of pumpkin is extremely thick, and it can be stored for a long time when it is picked off.

Song Jingtian's goal was to drive small rocks into it.

At first he thought this method was really a child's play, and felt that Shen Qingning was fooling him.But after he threw out one or two hundred stones and failed to hit them, he was about to shut himself up!
The only stone that was thrown in was thrown by Shen Qingning~
Shen Qingning on the other side of the yard was swinging on the swing with Xiao Miao'er in his arms, and the little guy kept shouting, "Second Sister, come again, Second Sister, be taller!"

Qingxiu sat on the side and chose vegetables, "If you have to punch a hole in a good pumpkin, you won't be able to let it go."

"Every time I come here, I don't come empty-handed. I bought so many delicious food for Zheng'er and me, Xiao Miao'er. You can't bear to part with such a pumpkin. Why are you so stingy? You're not like my Shen family!"

Qingxiu took the vegetable leaf and threw it at Xiao Miao'er's head, both of them were amused.

"Elder sister is badass!"

"Oh, I lost your second sister."

Shen Qingning took the vegetable leaves from Xiaomiao's head and threw them back to Qingxiu, seeing that it was still early for lunch.

"Sister, shall we make pumpkin pie?"

Pumpkin pie is a common local food. Steamed pumpkins are made into cakes with glutinous rice flour and sugar, and steamed in a pan.

The freshly steamed ones are golden in color, sweet and soft.It can also be fried in a pan when it is cold, the taste is even more delicious!

Qingxiu looked at the big mangy pumpkin, "Okay, I happen to have some glutinous rice flour at home, I'll go find it, and you go and steam the pumpkin."

Shen Qingning took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and handed it to Song Jingtian, "It's not something that can be done overnight, it needs years of practice. You peeled the skin of this pumpkin."

Song Jingtian took the kitchen knife in a daze, "What is this practice? Can you also practice the head?"

Shen Qingning nodded solemnly, "The control and precision of this exercise's strength."

"Oh, I see."

"Enn, be careful, this skinny pumpkin is hard to peel."

"Don't worry."

After Song Jingtian finished speaking, he found a board and began to peel the squashy pumpkin.Not to mention, it is quite difficult to cut, with thick pits and thick skin.

Shen Qingning went to the kitchen and started to boil water to prepare the steamed pumpkin.

Qingxiu glared at her, "You order Mr. Song to work again? Mother came back and appointed you."

"Mother can't see it, and besides, he did it voluntarily. If you don't let him do it, he won't be happy."

"Is it possible that you are still a fool, and you are not happy if you don't work?"

Shen Qingning smirked, "Go tell him not to do it, do you think he is happy?"

Qingxiu didn't believe in evil yet, she returned to the kitchen holding back a smile after leaving the kitchen, "You seem a little silly?"

The two sisters gathered together for a while and laughed non-stop.

Song Jingtian carried the peeled pumpkin into the kitchen, "Qingning, it's ready."

Shen Qingning quickly went to take it, "Enen, just give it to me. Wait for the pumpkin cake."

"Row."

He came here a few times and became acquainted with Shen's family. He is about the same age as Shen Guan, and he is a scholar. Shen Guan is very convinced of his knowledge.

The pumpkin cake was ready quickly, and two bowls were brought to the yard. It was fragrant and glutinous, and a group of people gathered around to eat it.

When Shen Zheng was about to take the third one, Shen Qingning reminded him, "There are roasted rabbits for lunch, if you eat at noon, you won't be able to eat anymore."

After struggling for a long time, Shen Zheng finally let go, he should save his stomach to eat rabbit meat.

Jiang shi didn't dare to eat after two meals. She was too old to eat glutinous rice, so she rested her hands and said to Qingxiu, "I'll cook today, and you also rest."

"Grandma, you can rest, I will do it."

Jiang waved his hand, "If you don't work every day, you're going to be sick."

Old Shentou also said, "Let your grandma do it, the rabbit meat she roasts is delicious."

After hearing this, Qingxiu didn't shirk her words, "That's fine, then grandma will cook. Then Qingning will help me, and I'm going to the vegetable field?"

Shen Qingning naturally wouldn't refuse, "Go ahead, I don't dare to set foot in your vegetable field after you have set it up."

She seriously suspected that Qingxiu was a little obsessive-compulsive. In the past, the youngest in the family only thought of cleaning the house, but she didn't expect that the vegetable field was organized into squares and rows.

Each type of dish is divided separately. Sometimes it is obvious that this kind of dish does not need to be planted in a small area, but Qingxiu has to plant a full area in order to be neat and beautiful. In the end, the pigs will eat all the unfinished food!

Jiang was busy on the stove, Shen Qingning was lighting a fire under the stove, and the two chatted while working.

"Grandma, what does a big family look like?"

It must have been asked many times, Jiang said with a smile, "What else can I do, don't have to work, eat better, live better, and have someone to serve you.

But there are also many rules. The lady of this rich family can count the number of times she went out when she was a girl at home. There are rules in talking, dressing, eating and sleeping. Life is not so easy.

If you don't have to worry about making a living, you might as well be as happy as a girl in the country, like you can go out when you want, go to the mountains if you want, and your mother doesn't care about you if you don't want to learn sewing. "

...............

Shen Qingning also smiled when she saw Jiang's words, and she was sure that Grandma didn't mean to scold her, but it sounded a little dissatisfied that she didn't learn how to sew.

"These young ladies are playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework every day. If there is one thing missing, they will be laughed at."

"Grandma, listen to what you said, this lady is really pitiful."

"Isn't it just pitiful? Although country women are also living a hard life, if they marry a richer family, the parents-in-law and husband are of good character, and life will be smooth.

For those men from rich families, that family does not have wives and concubines in groups. Even if they marry and become a regular wife, if they are unlucky and their sons and daughters share the same pot, they will have to worry about it for a lifetime. "

Shen Qingning said with a smile, "Isn't there a saying that marriage is a woman's second reincarnation."

Jiang Shi did not expect Shen Qingning to say such a thing at such a young age.

"Your aunt is right when she says you are precocious."

"hey-hey."

"You're right, this marriage is a woman's second reincarnation. If you meet those unscrupulous fathers and brothers, one bad one will be pushed into the fire pit, and you will be soaked in bitter water for the rest of your life."

Shen Qingning also heard from Mrs. Li that Mrs. Jiang was expelled from a wealthy family back then, and when she returned home, she was almost sold by her brother and sister-in-law to a half-aged old man to fill in the house.

Fortunately, she sneaked out desperately and headed south all the way.I was rescued by Grandpa again, otherwise I don't know what will happen?

Seeing the sympathy on her granddaughter's face, Mrs. Jiang presumably knew about her business.

"If I hadn't met your grandpa, I don't know where I would be soaking in bitter water."

　Still asking for a monthly pass!
