Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 46
Qiao Mantun harvested too many radishes this year, and the small vegetable cellar in the house couldn't hold them, so he had to dig a hole outside and bury them deep, so that they could still be fresh when eaten in winter.

When Qiao Gendi came in, he had already dug to a depth of one person. Seeing him humming and humming, Qiao Gendi said, "It's so deep, why are you still digging?"

Qiao Mantun stretched his head out to see that it was her, and said, "It's Fifth Sister, there are too many radishes today, and such a big hole may not be enough. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them all. Do you want to take some back?"

"I won't take it. Even my sister-in-law was almost blackmailed by your daughter-in-law. How dare I take it."

Qiao Mantun blushed, and said, "Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, you are you, it's different."

Qiao Hedi said: "In the eyes of your daughter-in-law, I am no different from my sister-in-law, and you know, I came here today to sue her, and she will hate me even more in the future!"

Qiao Mantun was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Complaint? What kind of complaint?"

Qiao Gendi shook off the little padded jacket in his hand, and said, "Do you know who made this padded jacket?"

Qiao Mantun said inexplicably, "Da Shanniang made this for the girls, what's wrong?"

"It's good if you know." Qiao Hedi said as he tore apart the platycodon's little padded jacket along the thread that he unraveled yesterday, shook out the reed flowers inside, and said, "Look what's stuffed here!"

Qiao Mantun looked at the snow-like reeds floating all over his head and covering the garden, and stayed for a long time, then asked, "Wh-whose padded jacket is this?"

"It's Kikyo, she said yesterday that the padded jacket was cold, and I took it apart to see that it was stuffed inside. I guess it's not just her, but the other children can't be wrong either."

Qiao Mantun's eyes suddenly widened, he poked the shovel on the ground, crawled out of the pit, and rushed into the house angrily.In the courtyard, Zanthoxylum ran into the house holding the kidney beans and shrinking his neck. When he stopped there, he tore off Zanthoxylum's cotton-padded jacket, only to find that there were also reed flowers in it.

He went into the house again, grabbed the sleeve of Fennel's cotton-padded jacket and tore it open, and the contents inside were the same.

His eyes were almost red with anger, and he strode into the back room.

Fang was still playing with Ershan on the kang, she was startled when she saw his appearance, and said, "Mantun, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Mantun glanced at Ershan, and tore Ershan's padded jacket as soon as he pulled it over, only to find that there was brand new snow-white cotton wadding inside.

He was furious, waved his hand and mouth on Fang's face, pointed at her nose and shouted: "Say, what did you put in my daughter's padded jacket?!"

Fang didn't expect this to reveal her secrets, so she covered her face and was stunned for a long time, feeling that something was wrong, she knelt down to Qiao Mandun on the kang, and cried bitterly: "Mandun, I didn't do it on purpose, it's because the family really has no money. , I don’t have so much money to buy cotton for them, it’s all my fault, it’s my fault, don’t be as knowledgeable as me..."

The others didn't know what happened. Grandma Qiao, fennel, wild apricot, pepper, and kidney beans all came to see, and Qiao Gendi followed Qiao Mandun into the house.

Fang's kneeling didn't calm down Qiao Mantun's anger. He pointed at Fang with a trembling finger and said, "No money? You asked for a tael of silver from your mother, and the dowry money I gave you earlier. Four taels of silver are in your hands, yet you still say you have no money?!"

Fang cried and said, "How can there be four taels! What are you thinking! I spent more than two taels on my treatment, and I spent one tael on the trip to the market. Now I only have a few hundred taels left at home. It will take another year to pass!"

Qiao Mantun's mind was slow, and he couldn't figure out which was in front and which was in the back. He stood there in a daze for a moment, and then shouted: "Even if that's the case, you can't use reed flowers to coat your children. It's so cold, you want to freeze it out?" Life is coming!"

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Mrs. Fang sat down on the kang crying and cried, "Isn't it true that I haven't recruited yet! How many mouths are there for nothing at home! I'm pregnant with another one. I have to eat and drink when I come down... Woohoo, the big deal is that I won't give birth, I won't give birth!"

As she spoke, she clenched her fist and hit her stomach.

Qiao Mandun was terrified at this moment, grabbed her hand and shouted, "You woman is crazy! Just say whatever you want, why are you beating the child!"

Fang cried: "What can I say, what else can I say, you don't say anything, just pull me over and beat you, you have already done it, what else can I do if I don't beat your son! Huh, your family is bullying There is no way for me, our mother three to survive, let me die..."

"I was wrong, I'm sorry, can't you, don't hit him, he hasn't been born yet..."

Grandma Qiao, who was standing at the door with a few children, just heard what was going on from her daughter. Seeing that the Fang family on the kang had become like this, she sighed and took the children and Qiao Hedi away from the door to the kitchen. Li whispered: "Oh, forget it, just make the padded jackets for the children. Anyway, the child in her belly is also the second child, so don't make any troubles."

Qiao Hedi saw that his mother and younger brother had compromised, so what else could he say, so he said: "Forget it, let me make all the girls' clothes. I beat her up today, if she makes them , you might even hide a needle in your padded jacket.”

Grandma Qiao was shocked when she heard that, thinking of her little granddaughter Mai Ya'er in the house, she rushed in and hugged her.

In the big haystack on the side of the mountain, Jugeng and Yao Jinfang squeezed out a big hole facing the sun, and the two nested in it, warm and soft, very comfortable.

Recently, when she came out to herd sheep, Bellflower didn’t always sleep as if she was dead. Yao Jinfang was very happy.Today, Kikyo didn't say a word to him, she took the furoshiki into the space, wrapped cotton, pulled the huge cotton branch and came out.

Yao Jin Fang was talking to her, when suddenly a cotton bag squeezed out between the two of them, and another oversized "twig" pressed against her body.

He was startled and exclaimed, "Ah, Kikyo, what are you doing!"

Kikyo opened his eyes and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'll make some cotton to make cotton clothes."

Yao Jinfang pointed at the cotton branch and said, "Then what is this!"

Kikyo stood up and pushed the cotton branch aside, saying, "It's nothing, I made a mistake with this thing, so I don't want it."

Yao Jinfang reluctantly believed her words, and asked, "Didn't you say that your stepmother is making cotton clothes for you? Why haven't you finished them yet, and you are going to change cotton again, is it for her?"

Kikyo said angrily: "Don't mention it, the cotton padded clothes she made for us were filled with reed flowers. I tried it on last night and it froze to death, so let my aunt do it for me."

"Reed flower? That thing can stop bleeding and detoxify, it can cure epistaxis and blood collapse, vomiting and diarrhea, how can it be used to make cotton-padded jackets?"

Kikyo rolled his eyes, as long as he said the name of the plant, this kid could immediately tell the medicinal value, it seems that the content in the pharmacopoeia is really solid in his memory.Thinking about it, he said, "You've heard of someone who used reed flowers to make a padded jacket, but she's a newcomer and sincerely abused our sisters."
