Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 30
Grandma Qiao became embarrassed when she heard her daughter's words, and said: "But there is not much money left. The daughter-in-law of Mantang introduced her daughter-in-law to Mandun, and Mandun gave Fang's three liang as a betrothal gift. Today they go shopping I have to go one more tael, and now I have only five taels left."

Qiao Gendi said: "Five taels is fine, it's better than nothing, let's collect some from other places, and we can talk about Sanxi's daughter-in-law."

Grandma Qiao sat there hesitating, but Ji Jiao's heart arose, thinking to herself that if grandma really lent the money to Wugu, Mrs. Chen might know that there was going to be trouble again, but she couldn't intervene when grandma and aunt were talking, so she could only Just watch there.

I saw grandma sitting there thinking for a while, and said, "Okay, then you can take it first."

Qiao Gendi saw that his mother was in trouble, and asked, "Mother, can you do this to me? Or ask Man Tun, after all, he is the head of the family."

Grandma Qiao made up her mind and said, "It's okay, take it. I'm a mother, and I can't be the master. You just take it to save them from spending money, and you can count it as a savings. I will return it to them later." .”

It makes sense for Qiao and Di to think about it. The younger brother will not be angry with himself and his mother because of this matter. Even if the younger sister-in-law is unhappy, he can just tell them that he has the money and pays them back as soon as possible. It is better than being wasted by them. .

Just like that, Grandma Qiao took the money for her, and the mothers talked for a while, and Qiao and Di left. When they left, they told their mother that they would put on the beams in a few days, tidy up the house, and then move back to live. , let his younger brother Qiao Mandun help him with the busy work.

This is a very normal thing for the Kikyo family, and Grandma Qiao agreed wholeheartedly.

In the evening, when Qiao Mantun and Fang came back, Grandma Qiao told about the borrowing of money. Qiao Mantun didn't take it too seriously. He knew that the fifth sister's family was short of money when she married a daughter-in-law. He had to help think about it when she didn't have it before. As for the solution, now that I have it, it’s normal to lend it to her, so I said, "Oh, just borrow it, and it’s up to the mother to decide. The house of Fifth Sister’s house is not finished until now, and it’s too late. I’ll go tomorrow. have a look……"

He was thinking about Fifth Sister's house, but he didn't know that Fang's face next to him had already pulled down.

In front of Grandma Qiao, Fang resisted not saying anything, but at night when she was sleeping, she put on a show, lying under the quilt and wiping tears.

Qiao Mantun heard her sobbing softly, and asked strangely: "Mother Dashan, what's wrong with you?"

Fang wept sobbingly, and said: "I think about the days to come, and I feel worried. With so many characters, only you and I can work, and the family is so poor, so I will lend a little bit to Fifth Sister. , how are we going to live!"

Qiao Man thought she was really worried, and persuaded: "It's okay, Guixiang and I have been here for so many years, now there are only Dashan and Ershan, children can't eat much, it's not worse than before. How much, don’t you see that we bought a lot of things today, we haven’t bought them for many years, and now we are more obedient than before..."

"How can it be compared with how it was before? These children are all grown up and can eat better than before. When the girls get married, they must give some dowry. These are six girls. How can they be compensated?"

"We take the dowry, isn't there a dowry gift from the man, it's not enough to buy anything..."

Fang's voice rose, and said: "Why do you think so beautifully? After you become a big family like the Huang family will want your daughter! These families in the village are not poor, not only can't afford it. The betrothal gift, but also let you go in it... Woohoo, I can't live through this day..."

They were only talking here normally, but Grandma Qiao in the small inner room could hear clearly, knowing that Fang was making a fuss about Fenix's resignation and borrowing money from her daughter, but she didn't make a sound, she and this queen The daughter-in-law who entered the door also had a heart, and Wang Guixiang, who couldn't be compared, could say whatever she wanted.

After breakfast the next day, Qiao Mandun packed up and was about to go out, but Fang stopped him and said, "Mandun, what are you going to do?"

Qiao Mantun said, "Fifth Sister's house is going to be erected today, so I'll help."

Fang said: "You donated all the money, and if someone goes to her house to guard, we can't make it by ourselves."

Seeing that she was not happy, Qiao Mantun said cautiously: "Isn't it idle? I don't have much work these few days. I just stay at home and stay at home. It will be an extra labor for Fifth Sister."

"Why are you idle? The soybeans in the front mountain should be pulled out. If you don't get them back, they will be eaten up by mice."

"It's only one ridge together, and you'll finish pulling it out by yourself to have a meal, and you'll finish it one day. Do I have to go?"

Fang's expression became more and more unhappy, and said: "Yes, I can do it, but can't you think about making a living, so you don't have to worry about food and drink for such a big family."

Qiao Mantun finally saw her face, and asked depressedly: "What can you do with worry, we are farming, and the fields are all done, so what else can we do to make a living?"

Fang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Didn't you say that you have seen others burn charcoal, why don't you try it, if you really burn it, sell it when you get it in the city, and you can get money, right?"

"The kiln needs to be dug to burn charcoal, and it cannot be dug in a day or two."

"Then it's time to dig now, and get the kiln ready before the cold weather, when the weather is cold, it's time to burn charcoal for sale!"

Qiao Mandun couldn't resist her, so he had to pick up his shovel and go out to dig a charcoal kiln on the side of the mountain.

When they were talking, Bellflower was feeding the chickens in the yard. Seeing that his father was finally sent away by the Fang family, he felt unspeakably aggrieved. When he was with his mother before, how could his father be like this? Now he is a different person. Father has also become obedient, I really don't know what is good about Fang's family, except for being a few years younger than mother, everything is worse than mother!
Seeing that Mrs. Fang entered the house, she ran into the vegetable garden and said to Fennel who was working: "Sister, the beams of Wugu's house were built today, but Dad was paid by Mrs. Fang to dig a charcoal kiln. My family will not help Mrs. Wu." My aunt's work will definitely be gossiped by others."

Only now did Fen Xiang realize that her father was going out with the shovel, not at Wu Gu's house, she thought about it and said, "If Dad doesn't go, we will go, even if we help Wu Gu with the cooking, no matter what, my family can't help but show up." .”

Kikyo nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and talk to Grandma, and then I'll get up with Eldest Sister."

After she finished speaking, she ran out of the house and told her grandma that she and Fenix ​​were going to help her aunt's house, and then she ran out of the hospital with Fenix ​​and walked towards the village.

The people from the Li family were almost here, and Qiao and Di were waiting for the second younger brother to come. The second younger brother was in good health, and he was able to do this kind of work.But after looking forward and looking forward, what I look forward to is fennel and bellflower.

She asked, "Why are you two here? Where's your father?"
