Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 116

Qian Feng helped the eldest brother and the others yell all the way. He was a little embarrassed when he yelled pomegranates when he first started a small business.Now his face is much thicker, and it is not a problem to yell or something. He yelled all the way and sold more than a dozen baskets before reaching the county town.

When he arrived at the county seat, as soon as Qian Feng yelled out, many people surrounded him, and many of them recognized him.The last time he carried a wooden sign and led 20 people to shout slogans on the street, everyone still remembers it vividly.

This time, seeing Qian Feng came to sell charcoal again, everyone in need came to buy it, and within an hour, all the fifty baskets of charcoal he brought were sold out.

Qian Feng was delighted, "Brother, did you see that I am now a celebrity in the county."

Qian Tong and Er Xi both asked him what was going on, and he just told what happened last time.Uncle Xiang said regretfully: "If you know this, we should bring more charcoal when we come. There are more than 100 baskets at home that have not been sold."

"Uncle Xiang, don't worry, I'll come out to help you sell it for two days after the new year, and it should be sold out. It's getting late now, and the road is not easy to walk, so let's go home quickly. Everyone slept too late last night and didn't have a good rest, tomorrow will be a new year, so don't be so tired."

Uncle Xiang was a little embarrassed, "You are a big shot now, the owner of the shop, or a famous person in the county, so why should we always ask you to help sell charcoal?"

Qian Feng burst out laughing, "What's the name? I'm not sure it's notorious. Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement. It's the Chinese New Year, so everyone wants to have fun."

Everyone laughed, and then pulled the empty cart to go home.

The new year is here, and the family starts to work early in the morning, boiling sugar in the morning and making candy in the afternoon.In the evening, we started to make sumptuous meals. Although it was a small year, it was not as grand as a big year, but the whole family still wanted to gather together to eat, because we would have to sacrifice to the Stove King later.

Ge Taohua didn't start a fire on the stove outside, but came to the kitchen to help chop vegetables together.

There were three women in the kitchen, so Qian Feng didn't come to join in the fun. Instead, he played cards with his father, elder brother, Song Qiu and others in his room, and Sui'er lay beside him to watch the fun.

This deck of cards was made by Qian Feng himself, which is "one net, two elephants, three lions, four tigers, five cows, six dogs, seven cats and eight mice" folded out of paper.

No one knows these things. Qian Fengxue learned it from the county, so he taught them how to play seriously.Originally, he wanted to make chess or poker, but those were too difficult, and his family couldn't learn them for a while, so he made the simplest ones.

Usually his father and elder brother work all year round, and they can take a break during the Chinese New Year, that is, sitting by the brazier in a daze.Now he is teaching everyone how to play this game, and Dad Qian and Qian Tong are still playing with great enthusiasm.

Qian Feng saw that his father and elder brother were smiling like children, and they were no different from Song Qiu at this moment. It seemed that they had also found the joy of childhood.

Qian Feng thought it over, and then think about other ways to play when he has nothing to do in the future. People can't always work to make money in life, they have to have entertainment.Play the small ones first, and then the big ones, so that everyone in the village has their own way of pastime.

It was getting dark, and Father Qian was carrying steamed buns, meat, and vegetables on the stove, and a small couplet written by Uncle Xiang was pasted on the stove.

After the family stood up, Father Qian began to read in a straight voice, "The Stove King is above, and I hope to protect my family every year, with meat every meal, no shortage of food and drink, no illness or disaster, and a long life." Hundred years old!"

Qian Feng thought to himself, this word is well pronounced, it is the wish of the common people.

Everyone bowed to the stove together, and then began to assemble the small tables into a big table, and put all the dishes on the table.Father Qian went out to set off firecrackers again, and the whole family ate around, celebrating the New Year with excitement.

Father Qian picked up the wine cup and took a sip, and said, "Your mother and I have spent most of our lives, and after so many years, even in the New Year, there are only six dishes on the table at most. Put eight dishes on the table, and none of them are the same, and our family's life will be easier!"

Qian Feng patted his chest and said, "Father, don't worry, I will buy a few more when the Chinese New Year is over, and make up twelve."

Father Qian said with a smile: "Success, this year our family will have more than one year. Tong'er, this is all thanks to Feng'er, you can have a drink with Feng'er."

Qian Tong hurriedly picked up the wine cup, "Come on, second brother, I respect you."

"No respect, let's do it together." Qian Feng clinked glasses with his brother.

Pomegranate hurriedly poured a cup for herself, stood up and said, "Father, mother, I would like to respect you two elders. I wish you a long life like Nanshan, good luck like the East China Sea, and a little fairy in the coming year!"

These are all Qian Feng taught her before, saying that her parents will be happy.

Father Qian and Mrs. Yang were overwhelmed with joy, usually no daughter-in-law had ever respected them, and Mrs. Yang never drank alcohol.

Ge Taohua was a little impatient when she saw it, and thought to herself, I don't know who said that Pomegranate is stupid, but she is obviously very smart, her sweet talk can deceive people, and she will come to trouble.But as the eldest daughter-in-law, it's not good for her to be compared with the younger daughter-in-law. She has to show a little bit.

But she didn't know what to do, sitting there just eating and drinking was not enough, she couldn't think of a way for a while, she just looked at the pomegranate and raised her neck to drink, and Father Qian happily drank the whole glass, even Yang, who doesn't drink alcohol, also plans to have a drink in order to save face for pomegranate.

Qian Feng hurriedly stopped her, "Mom, you have a big belly, you can't drink the whole cup, just take a sip and you'll be fine."

Yang looked at the pomegranate, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she was, so she picked up the wine cup and sipped it.Even though she only took a sip, she was so hot that her eyes narrowed.

Ge Taohua felt more and more that her elder daughter-in-law was being suppressed by the younger daughter-in-law, what should she do?
