Fat Niang makes a fortune in farming

Chapter 34
After tidying up the fish and washing the vegetables, the whole morning passed.

Sitting in front of the stove and about to light the fire for cooking, Meng Kejun felt dizzy and dizzy, and he couldn't lift his spirits up, and his mouth was still thirsty.

Dong Qingfeng is not by his side, and Xi Lian is gone, so why does he still feel that his heartbeat is disordered and his chest is tight?
The fish was stewing slowly in a large firewood pot. After the fish meat was crispy and the soup was milky white, Meng Kejun first filled a bowl of fish soup with an earthen bowl, and then threw in fresh green vegetable leaves and cooked it together. , Waiting for the soup in the pot to boil again, I filled it out with a big soil bowl.

I also fried a plate of eggplant with mashed garlic. At noon, three adults and one Ping'er were enough. These dishes were enough.

Although the staple food is still sweet potato porridge, eating it with the delicious fish soup still makes everyone appetite in this hot weather.

Especially Ping'er, who picked up two bowls of rice in a row, with rice grains stuck to his mouth and face.

Meng Kejun, who was full of food and drink, improved a lot.

After eating and sleeping with Ping'er, Meng Kejun felt that he was much more energetic than in the morning, but he was still too thirsty.

After leaving the house, Dong Jingye was still sitting under the eaves weaving a dustpan, and Mrs. Huang was sitting next to him chatting casually with him.

Meng Kejun stepped out of the room, and Ping'er, who was in the room, woke up on his back.

He had been locked in the room for the past two days, and he couldn't sit still for a long time. Seeing that Meng Kejun got out of bed, he immediately jumped out of the bed, and followed Meng Kejun quietly out of the room.

"Hey! What are you doing out of bed? The doctor told you not to let you get out of bed!"

Sensing movement behind her, Meng Kejun looked back at Ping'er who was quietly pulling the corner of her skirt.

She immediately grabbed him, carried him back to the room like a chicken and threw him on the bed.

"No! No! I'm going to play with Crescent Moon. We agreed yesterday that we're going to catch grasshoppers together today!"

Ping'er, who was thrown on the bed, posed with a small body and refused to follow.

These two sisters are already very well-behaved. Listening to what my aunt said, he never got out of bed, but now his head is not dizzy or painful, so he should be able to get out of bed. It's too boring.

"The doctor said that if you don't take a good rest, you will fall into the root cause of the disease. Then you will have crooked eyes, slanted mouth and drooling. Let's see who will like you! By then, Yue Yueer probably won't like you anymore!"

Meng Kejun knew that it was useless to coax him now, so he could only use these words to scare him.

Ping'er tilted his little head, thinking about the words that Meng Kejun said, squinting his eyes, slanting his mouth, and drooling.

"Uh……"

Thinking of Ping'er, he couldn't help shivering, this appearance is not the same as that of the sick old Wangtou in the west of the village.

"Don't! Don't! I don't want to be like the old Wangtou!"

Ping'er repeatedly swung his little head into Meng Kejun's arms. That old king had to be fed when he ate, helped when he walked, and even when he went to the latrine, he had to be watched and guarded, so he didn't want to be like him.

"Then do you want to lie down on the bed? Do you want to go outside to catch grasshoppers?"

Meng Kejun knows that sometimes, scaring children is always more effective than coaxing them.

"Don't! Don't! I won't catch grasshoppers anymore, I'll go to bed and lie down obediently!"

After speaking, he quickly let go of Mr. Meng Ke, and lay down on the bed obediently.

"I'm so obedient, now I won't crook my eyes, slant my mouth, or drool, right?"

As Ping'er spoke, he stretched out his little hand to touch his face, for fear that something might be wrong with his eyes and mouth.

"You won't be able to lie down obediently!"

Meng Kejun moved forward and scraped Ping'er's little nose playfully.

She also knew that it was a pain for the baby to lie in the room like this in such a hot day, but now there was really no way.

In case of any accident, not only will Ping'er suffer, but all the eight liang of silver borrowed will be in vain.

When she thought of the eight taels of silver, her flesh ached, eight taels!A full eight taels!How long will it take for the Dong family to recover from the current situation?

"Little aunt! Little aunt! I want to eat watermelon! I want to eat a big watermelon!"

Just when Meng Kejun turned to leave, Ping'er grabbed Meng Kejun's arm and coquettishly said that he wanted to eat watermelon.

On this hot day, the child is shut up in the room and suffers. It is not an exaggeration to think about eating something to cool off the heat.

So Meng Kejun nodded quickly, "Okay! The greedy cat wants to eat watermelon, so my aunt will buy it for you!"

In June and July, I think there should be more farmers growing watermelons in the countryside, and it is much cheaper to go to the fields to find them to buy designated ones.

Unexpectedly, when Meng Kejun asked under the eaves, Dong Jingye and the Huang family were both embarrassed.

Dong Jingye stopped weaving the dustpan in his hand, thought for a while, and put the half-woven dustpan in his hand at his feet, and then stood up from the small bench.

"Let me go! If I go here, maybe he can give us a watermelon in front of Ping'er!"

With that said, he patted the bamboo shavings on his body, then took the straw hat hanging on the wall, put it on and was about to leave.

Hearing what Dong Jingye said, Meng Kejun thought of who Dong Jingye was talking about, and she immediately stopped Dong Jingye.

"Father! Is the watermelon you're talking about Xu Meijiao? Could it be that they are the only households in Wangjiatun who grow watermelons?"

Thinking of asking Xu Meijiao to buy watermelon, Meng Kejun was annoyed, even if she didn't eat it, she didn't want to buy it from her.

"You don't know! The price of watermelons was good the year before last, and every household made money. Last year, every household planted them, and even the surrounding villages planted them together. What I didn't expect was that the watermelons were rotten last year. It can’t be sold inside! Every family has lost a lot of money! Everyone is afraid of losing, and no one will grow this year!”

"Xu Meijiao is the only one in our Wangjiatun. I didn't expect that not only the market will be good this year, but the price will be high. I'm sure we will make a lot of money this year!"

Hearing what Huang said, Meng Kejun didn't expect Xu Meijiao to have such a brainy side, but even so, she didn't plan to buy this watermelon.

"Forget it! I won't buy this watermelon! I'll go to the market tomorrow and pick one up!"

"But I want to eat watermelon!" Unexpectedly, Ping'er crawled out of the room at this time, lying on the edge of the door with a pitiful look.

"Could you eat some tomorrow? My little aunt will give you stuffed candied tomatoes today."

"Good! Good! I want to eat candied tomatoes!"

Hearing that there was something to eat, Ping'er immediately slapped her hands and went to bed. The candied tomatoes were delicious just by their name.

"Okay! Mom! I'm going to pick two tomatoes in Aunt Wang's vegetable garden next door!"

After speaking, Meng Kejun left the gate of Dong's courtyard.

Just after leaving the hospital, I ran into Xilian standing under the sun.

I don't know how long she stood at the door, but at this time she was already dripping with sweat, and the little hand holding the handkerchief kept wiping the sweat from her forehead.
