Chapter 59 I'm going to sell

Chapter 59 I'm going to sell

The dates of the two daughters of the fourth family were set on the third day of May. Although everyone in the Meng family was surprised, they did not object.

Everyone would be happy to collect two gifts together and hold only one banquet, except for Meng Yuzhen. She felt that the Ling family chose it on purpose on purpose.

She hadn't met Nie Zheng once, but the cripple from the Ling family came to the door several times. If she had known that Meng Qidi had a good relationship with the cripple, she would have never let Meng Qidi marry into the Ling family, and tried every means to get her to marry Laizi.

She felt annoyed when she thought that Ling Xiao would drive here every time he came to Meng's house, and Meng Qidi would steal the limelight.

The days settled down, and it was busy farming again, so Meng Qidi became busy, except for going to work, she would just go home and read books.

Five days later.

"Xiao Qi, what's the matter?" Meng Daqiang was about to go out to fool around, and asked suspiciously when he saw Meng Qidi who was about to go to work and stopped at the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I..." Meng Daqiang paused, as if telling his daughter that he was going to idle around was a bit unreasonable.

He coughed lightly, "I just want to go to the town to earn some pocket money. Aren't your sisters getting married soon? It's not easy for me to come empty-handed."

"Come with me to the reservoir?"

Meng Daqiang frowned without even thinking about it, "What are you doing in the reservoir? Your father can't pick mud."

"I found unowned lotus roots in the pond above, and there were a lot of fish in them. The water was released a few days ago, and I will dig them out today when I am ready to go to work. If you don't go, I can't snatch those people by myself. I... ..."

"Go! You go first, I'll follow you later." There was something free, but it was still wild fish, so the greedy Meng Daqiang worked hard, and quickly rolled up his sleeves and told his daughter.

"Bring more buckets, I want to give some to the Ling family, and the wild lotus root can be fed to the pigs."

Meng Daqiang waved his hand, "I know, let's go, I'll take a snakeskin bag and bucket."

Seeing that Meng Daqiang agreed, Meng Qidi was relieved to go to work. This father likes to be cheap, and knowing that there are free ones, he will definitely go. Lotus root is a good thing these days.

Someone will definitely rush to catch the fish, but no one will take the lotus root. Everyone thinks it is wild and astringent, so it will be hard to say in the future.

I don't know if there is a pond near Ling's house, but I can plant some seeds if I get some.

Meng Daqiang came to the reservoir with a bucket in the middle of the morning.

"Hey, what is Daqiang doing here? Are you here to help your daughter?" Someone saw Meng Da emphatically talking.

Meng Daqiang was not annoyed, and smiled, "No, that girl was greedy, and said that the pond above was full of water, so let me touch some fish and loach for her to eat, isn't there wild lotus root on it, take some back and stamp it for the pigs to eat."

The Meng family had quotas for raising pigs, and everyone knew about it, so they didn't think much about it.

Meng Daqiang went directly to Meng Qidi.

After talking to Sister Liu, Meng Qidi led Meng Daqiang to the top, "Dad, stay with those lotus root tips later."

"That thing is bitter, why stay here?" Meng Daqiang said unwillingly, the pond over there was bitter, if it wasn't for his daughter who said to touch fish and loach, he wouldn't be willing to come here.

"Isn't there a stinky pond next to our house? Just throw it in and grow it. Now our fourth room is cooking and feeding the pigs. When we grow up next year, we won't have to hunt pigweeds, and we can secretly raise some fish. Nobody knows."

Meng Daqiang's eyes lit up, "You have a quick brain, okay, then I'll pack a sack."

Seeing that he didn't object, Meng Qidi didn't persuade him anymore, she led Meng Daqiang there and went back to work.

During the lunch break, she came up with food.

Originally thought that Meng Daqiang would be lazy, but he didn't expect that he touched most of the wild lotus root in the pond, and he worked very hard.

Seeing his daughter coming over with something to eat, Meng Daqiang hurried towards the shore, glanced around, saw no one, and lowered his voice.

"Xiao Qi, let me tell you, this lotus root is not astringent."

Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows, and passed a sweet potato in her hand, "How do you say it?"

Meng Daqiang said embarrassedly, "Didn't I pull out one in the morning, the lotus root was so juicy, I couldn't help but take a bite, it was so delicious."

Meng Qidi...

Who would have thought that this dad could eat raw lotus root.

Meng Daqiang chuckled, he decided to dig it all up, and sold it on the black market in the town at night when no one was looking, such a good lotus root is worth a lot of money.

Meng Qidi glanced at the snakeskin bag full of lotus root, "It's all full, what are you going to do?"

"There is a small road over there, I will send it back first, and come back later."

Meng Daqiang gnawed on the sweet potato with a proud expression on his face. Fortunately, he was smart in the morning and knew how to feed the pigs, even if someone saw it, he wouldn't say anything.

The lotus root in this pond is notoriously astringent.

Judging by Meng Daqiang's speed, the pond is not very big. He probably finished digging before the villagers started work...

Meng Daqiang was willing to make a fuss, so Meng Qidi didn't bother, and went to work after a short break.

When they got off work and went there with Liu Xuemei, Meng Daqiang was still in the water, glanced at the empty snakeskin bag beside him, the corners of Meng Qidi's mouth twitched, he must have run twice, right?

"Is... finished digging?"

Liu Xuemei looked at the empty pond in surprise.

Meng Daqiang touched the mud on his face and raised his head, "Comrade Liu, do you want fish and loach? I touched a lot."

Although Meng Daqiang likes to seek petty gain, he still knows how to deal with the world. If you gag her mouth with fish, she will stop asking.

"This... Meng... Uncle Meng has caught a lot?"

Liu Xuemei is much older than Meng Qidi, and the two of them are talking about being of the same generation, so it's uncomfortable to be called Uncle Meng Daqiang.

"Hey, I touched half of the bucket."

Thinking that so many lotus roots at home could be sold for money, Meng Daqiang was in a particularly good mood, and lowered his head to explore again.

This lotus root is delicious when eaten raw. According to my daughter's suggestion, it would definitely be a good idea to plant it in a pond next to it.

However, he didn't want to take advantage of the elder brother and the second brother. Thinking of the dowry money that was robbed a few days ago, it seemed that it was imperative to separate the family.

Meng Qidi didn't know that Meng Daqiang was thinking so much, and led Liu Xuemei to the bucket, half of the bucket was filled with fish and loach...

It has to be said that there are benefits to be gained, and Meng Daqiang works hard. Who would have thought that the famous lazy man in Mengjia Lane would spend all day digging lotus roots and catching fish...

Liu Xuemei was an educated youth who went to the countryside, lived in a fellow villager's house, and didn't take too many fish and loach.

As soon as Liu Xuemei left, Meng Qidi used a branch to poke the floating lotus root tips on the water, these are seeds.

After the father and daughter had finished tossing, the sky was a little dark, and it was almost time to walk on the side of the reservoir.

Meng Qidi carried the bucket and followed Meng Daqiang back.

"Xiao Qi, I put all those lotus root in your room."

Meng Qidi was slightly taken aback, where should I put her?

"I'm going to sell those lotus roots. You can get some for the Ling family if you want, and don't talk about it." Meng Daqiang was a little embarrassed.

He didn't want his family to know, so he put it in Xiao Qi's room.

Meng Qidi nodded, not caring about Meng Daqiang's tossing, "I only want the tip of the lotus root, and there is also a pond at Meng's house."

Meng Daqiang felt relieved when his daughter didn't compete with him for the lotus roots, "Okay, I've caught a lot of those things. I'll fill the pond at home tomorrow, and the things will be planted. I'll accompany you to the Ling's house."

Ling Xiao is crippled, so Xiao Qi also has a guarantee for getting the lotus root in the pond.

Meng Daqiang would take the initiative to help, Meng Qidi was a little surprised, she smiled lightly and nodded, "Okay, thank you Dad."

It is rare for father and daughter to have a harmonious atmosphere, Meng Daqiang is happy physically and mentally, and the daughter needs herself, which feels good.
