Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 118

Qian Feng couldn't help laughing, it's only fifteen cents for your family of four to eat, guess Erxi's family will have to lose money.

At noon, Mrs. Yang cooked a meal at home, and asked Dad Qian, Qian Tong, Qian Feng, and Song Qiu to eat at the same table.She, Shiliu, and Ge Taohua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are going to have a wedding wine, and Xiao Sui'er is following behind.

Yang watched the two daughter-in-laws put on powder and eyebrows, and even Sui'er followed suit. This time it was not as scary as last time, but light makeup, which really looked much better.

She proudly said: "Well, today my two daughter-in-laws are able to show off, and my granddaughter Sui'er is also one of the best."

As soon as they were talking, they bumped into Qiu Ju who came to have a wedding wine. She married Ge Taohua from the same poor village.Qiu Ju greeted with a smile from afar, "Hey, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all dressed up like the people in the New Year pictures."

Qiu Ju first looked at Yang's stomach, then Ge Taohua and pomegranate, and then looked down at her own worn clothes, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt.

She originally wanted to go with Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but now she deliberately held Ge Taohua back and talked to her alone, "Taohua, we have played together since we were young, and married into the same village. We are like sisters, are you closer to me than pomegranate?"

Ge Taohua's eyes flickered, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Qiu Ju covered her mouth and smiled, "Look, a good sister is a good sister, and you'll know what I mean as soon as I open my mouth. Didn't you hear that your uncle can make money on the rocky mountain? Please help me talk about it in front of him, so that I can make money." How about that dead man in my family also go to work to earn some money?"

Ge Taohua froze, "I... My family Qian Tong didn't say to work with his younger brother, but my uncle said that after the Chinese New Year, let his elder brother take care of the fields, and then he can work with him in his free time. He will pay his eldest brother according to how much the work is done. I didn’t hear him say that the men in the village would help with the work. With so many people under him, he doesn’t need it, right?”

Qiu Ju pouted, "I know he has a lot of people under his command. Aren't we good sisters? Just give me a word and beg for mercy, won't it be enough? Those workshop workers can only earn [-] yuan a month to go home. I also sent out a lot of new year's goods, and the dead man in my family kept talking about it at night and couldn't sleep. You don't know, I do most of the work in my field, and he just helps, thinking about going out to make money all day long, he He went to work in the tofu shop in the town for more than a month, and only earned [-] Wen, who knows how he did it."

Ge Taohua knew that Qiu Ju's man was lazy, but she was a good sister, and she didn't want to shame him, so she said, "I'll go back and tell my brother-in-law, if it doesn't work, don't blame me."

Qiu Ju was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the money from her pocket. Originally, she was going to send ten Wen to Erxi's house, but at this time she took out two Wen to Ge Taohua, "This is money for your benefit. If you say If it’s done, I’ll give you more, can I give you fifty cents a month?”

Ge Taohua was moved when he heard that he could have fifty dollars a month, so he half-pushed and accepted two Wen on the spot, "Is it enough for you to send eight Wen to Erxi's family?"

"Why is it not enough? Last year, every family who married a daughter-in-law gave eight coins. This year, I don't know who took the lead. Everyone gave ten coins. It's really nothing to do. Is there no place to spend more money?"

Ge Taohua thought that she was going to send fifteen cash, she moved her lips, but still didn't say it.

When they came to Erxi's house, Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gave the gift money to Erxi's mother, Gao.There are four tables in the courtyard and two tables in the main room. There are six tables in total of female guests. These are the women of the whole village.Most unmarried girls are not allowed to drink wedding wine, unless they drink for their mother or sister-in-law.

As soon as the three of Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were seated, they were surrounded by other women. They looked at the pomegranate and Ge Taohua for a while, and felt that they were much better dressed than usual, and it was all paid for by money.

"Brother Feng, his mother, can you find out how much money your Feng brother earns, so that people in our village can envy you."

"That's right, let's talk about it. Pomegranate, why don't you talk about it."

Pomegranate was about to open her mouth, but was pinched severely by Yang Shi, and Pomegranate immediately shut up.

Mrs. Yang deliberately sighed, "You are looking at how well my two daughters-in-law can make any money. The new clothes on my body are made of the cloth that my family Feng'er bought in exchange for silkworm cocoons last time. With that little money, I bought all the iron guys who opened the mountain. My family ran out of food last time, and you don’t know?”

The fact that Ge Taohua hid the grain at Qiu Ju's house was spread by Qiu Ju to almost everyone, except Ge Taohua himself.

Everyone nodded, and listened to Yang's continuing, "Don't you know what kind of temperament my Feng'er is? He has one penny and two pennies, and one hundred and one thousand. I used it to buy new year’s goods, to buy a bunch of food, and to wipe my face. Alas, what a waste of money. Now he is empty. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, each of you will give my family some food on credit Well, after selling the stone, my family Feng'er will pay you back the money."

The female guests originally wanted to hear how much money Qian Feng earned, but Mrs. Yang asked everyone to borrow food.They didn't dare to agree easily, they had to go home and ask their own men, so they all laughed and went back to their seats.

After a while, the banquet started, and the dishes hadn't been served yet, but everyone had already grabbed their chopsticks and was waiting to grab them.Ge Taohua also whispered to Sui'er, "Stand up later and pick up some good food. Eat more."

Sui Er nodded, "Okay!"

I ate very little pomegranate in the morning, and deliberately kept my stomach for lunch. Now I was so hungry, I also picked up chopsticks.As soon as the first plate of fried glutinous rice cakes came to the table, everyone waved their chopsticks to grab it.

Not just pomegranates, almost all of them eat with their stomachs full. A plate of deep-fried glutinous rice cakes is only 12 yuan. There are originally ten people at a table, so everyone should be able to eat.But many people brought their children, and as a result, some people couldn't eat it, so everyone grabbed it.

Apart from Sui'er, there were two other girls at the pomegranate table. When everyone started to rob, a little girl didn't get it, and she burst into tears. Her mother had to bite half of it and put it in the daughter's bowl, coaxing her. she eats.

Although the pomegranates and kudzu blossoms seem to be relatively powerful, they are still inferior to those shrews who rob vegetables all the year round, and they are only the last to grab them.

Yang sighed while eating, "every time we eat wedding wine, everyone rushes to eat it. When will we be able to live a life without grabbing it?"

Ge Taohua replied: "Mother, I'm used to eating radishes and green vegetables, and finally I can have a good meal, who can not grab it?"
