Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 115

Qian Feng sneered, "I bought ten catties of meat and came back to celebrate the New Year. I must eat lard. You are greedy. There may be some lard here, but it is much more expensive than lard. There are also palm oil and... and what Fat, I don’t remember either. The shopkeeper said that usually only noble ladies are willing to buy it, so I bought three boxes and came back. You and your mother, sister-in-law, Songqiu, and Sui’er all have to wipe your faces. They're all ugly to death."

Shiliu touched her face with her hands, and then touched her hands again, "Then I will be a lady again?"

Qian Feng smiled, "Well, you are...the lady of the village."

After the pomegranate was smeared, I felt very uncomfortable. I felt that my face and hands were covered with a layer of sticky stuff. "Then can I lie on the bed and sleep?"

"Yes, it will be done in a while. I'm too sleepy, so go to bed." Qian Feng took off his shoes and crawled on the bed.

"You haven't washed your face and feet yet." Pomegranate said and went to the kitchen to boil water.

"Forget it, don't get water on your hands as soon as you wipe them. I'll be lazy and don't wash them once. They say that men are stinky men, so I will stinky once today." Qian Feng slept under the quilt He said with a smile, "I stink, so don't make up my mind later."

Shiliu stared at the balls, "Who is planning on you? Is it because I am afraid that I will crawl on you? I have smeared things on my face and hands, so it is inconvenient!"

Pomegranate put the brazier away from the bed, and looked at her hands, feeling much warmer. She blew out the candles, climbed into bed happily, and slept with Qian Feng in her arms. She forgot to wipe her hands after a while.

After breakfast on the second day, the workshop workers came to say goodbye to Qian Feng, and they were going home for the New Year.Qian Feng told them to come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and spend a good new year at home.

Wang Qing grinned and grinned, "Master, we will definitely all come. After so many years, we usually go out to beg for food even during the Chinese New Year. This is the first time in several years that I can live a stable New Year. This time I return I can stay at home for more than 20 days, and there is food and drink, and I guess I can grow a few catties of meat."

Everyone laughed and went home.

Just now Ge Taohua saw those factory workers all carrying new year's goods, she was very jealous, after these people had left, she came to Pomegranate's room, and happened to see Pomegranate wiping something on her hands.

Shiliu hurriedly pulled Ge Taohua over, "Sister-in-law, you can apply some too. This is the hand cream that Qian Feng bought from the county, and it can also be applied on the face. Qian Feng said that after a few more days, it will not be chapped."

Ge Taohua looked at it strangely, and wiped a lot on her hands and face.Pomegranate took out another box, "Is this for you, or the other box is for mother."

Ge Taohua stretched out his hand and smiled sheepishly, "And mine, second brother is really careful."

She stuffed it into her sleeve pocket like a baby, then sat down and asked, "Where's the second brother, is he out?"

"He went to sell charcoal with elder brother, don't you know?"

Ge Taohua was surprised, "Second brother also went? I only know that your elder brother hurried out and said he was going to join everyone at Uncle Xiang's house. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and they have to sell charcoal today. I saw the second brother go out, I thought where he was going to play."

Pomegranate took out melon seeds and gave them to his sister-in-law, "Qian Feng said that elder brother and they don't know how to sell charcoal, they just know how to sell charcoal! Sell charcoal!" There were few people there. They also said that when someone came to buy charcoal, they would always bargain. Brother and the others were impatient, and a lot of charcoal was sold at a low price. Qian Feng said it was a pity that such good charcoal was ruined, so he followed."

Ge Taohua felt even more upset now, "I took your things, and the second brother helped your elder brother sell charcoal. Last time I hid the grain, you and the second brother won't be angry, right?"

Shi Liu hurriedly shook her head, "Not angry, really not angry. Qian Feng said, if he were, he would hide it too."

Seeing Pomegranate grinning, Ge Taohua was relieved.At this time, Mrs. Yang fed the pigs and came over to warm up the fire, "Pomegranate, as long as the fire in your house is big, mother will come and rub."

A lot of coarse charcoal was placed in the brazier, and it was burning vigorously, and heard crackling sounds from time to time. Yang sat down and said, "It's so comfortable to burn such a strong fire!"

Pomegranate grabbed a lot of food for her mother-in-law, "Mom, Qian Feng bought a lot of new year's goods, let's share them later."

Yang shook her head, "I don't want yours. Feng'er gave me two hundred Wen for the New Year in the morning, and your father has already gone to town to buy new year's goods."

At this time, Shiliu remembered that there was still a box of hand ointment, so she hurriedly brought it to Mrs. Yang.Yang opened it and took a look, "Oh, how can you put lard on your face and hands? It's such a waste of things."

"Mother, this is not lard, your face and hands are not good-looking." Pomegranate forcefully wiped Yang's face and hands, and Yang was so tormented by the pomegranate.

After Songqiu and Sui'er came in, they rushed to wipe their face and hands.

Yang yelled, "Feng'er is such a tossing thing, don't keep such a good thing for eating, just wipe it on your face and hands, God will say that we won't live when we see it."

Everyone laughed, and the room was full of noise, and it was beginning to feel like a new year.
