Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 13

Yang is pregnant.

Among the people who fainted Yang was strangled by Qian Feng, she had to wake up if she didn't want to, otherwise she would be strangled to death by her stupid son.After waking up, everyone gathered around the table for dinner, but she couldn't take a few bites at all, so she hid in the house.

The 45-year-old mother-in-law is about to have a baby. This kind of thing can't be hidden. It spread like wildfire overnight. I don't know if it was the barefoot doctor who made it up, or Song Qiu and Sui Er's childish words .In a small village, you usually don’t wait until overnight to find out what’s going on. Usually, everyone has to carry the bowls around after a meal. In the time it takes to eat a meal, you can talk about the affairs of every household in the whole village. .

Early the next morning, when Ge Taohua went to wash clothes by the river, the women in the village knew it well, but they deliberately asked, "Taohua, don't you usually cook breakfast at home and let your mother-in-law do the laundry? Why is it this morning?" Are you here to wash?"

Ge Taohua didn't know that everyone knew about it, she was busy beating the clothes that had been rubbed with soap horns with a mallet, and said sullenly: "My mother-in-law is getting old, she shouldn't get wet too much."

One of the young brides couldn't help laughing and said: "Where can't we get more in the summer, you don't seem to be very happy, can't you be angry with your mother-in-law?"

Ge Taohua said with a cold face: "Why am I unhappy? Washing clothes is no more tiring than cooking with a fire. Why am I so angry?"

Ge Taohua said that she was not angry, but her face was already showing that she was not ordinary angry. If she was given a handful of hay, her anger would probably set the hay on fire immediately.

The village women laughed secretly at first, but now seeing Ge Taohua's unspeakable appearance, they laughed even more happily.

Mrs. Yang, who was cooking breakfast at home, was too ashamed to go out. Father Qian picked a load of peanuts to sell in the town early in the morning, and came back just in time for breakfast.

Father Qian also specially bought a catty of lean meat from the town, handed it to Mrs. Yang, and said in a low voice: "These days when you cook, you cook a bowl of pork shredded soup for every meal, to nourish your body."

Yang's face was flushed with embarrassment, "You only sell a load of peanuts for a few tens of pennies, why spend money on this? I'm not a newlywed, and it would be embarrassing to say it."

Father Qian looked at the gate of the courtyard and saw no one passing by, so he said, "What's so embarrassing, isn't it natural for a woman to have a baby? Only those little daughters-in-law are allowed to have babies, but you are not allowed to have babies." , what's the point?"

Mrs. Yang stared straight at Father Qian, "You don't feel ashamed, why are you still afraid of being heard? It's all your fault, you old and unscrupulous old man! How old are you and you don't sleep honestly at night. You only think about that, which made me sleep It is embarrassing in front of my son and daughter-in-law."

Father Qian blushed at what Yang said, and ran out as if fleeing, shouting: "Feng'er, Songqiu, Sui'er, come back and have breakfast!"

Song Qiu and Sui Er were playing outside the yard, when they heard the shouts, they all came in.Qian Tong went to the field to do some work in the morning, and it was almost at the door of the house, and Ge Taohua was also walking along the road with a basket of clothes.

She heard her father-in-law calling everyone to eat from a distance, and she snorted coldly, it's all because of you old man!
After returning home, Ge Taohua was drying his clothes in the yard, Yang poked his head out of the kitchen and asked, "Where is Feng'er, where did he go?"

Ge Taohua lazily replied: "Who knows, he's not in good shape all day long, he's lazy to eat, he doesn't mind eating breakfast, and he can save a meal."

Yang knew that her daughter-in-law was angry, so she didn't say anything. It was indeed her own business that made the whole family ashamed.

Father Qian put pickles on the table, "Let's eat first, leave Feng'er alone."

Yang brought out several bowls of shredded pork soup and said, "Let's eat a bowl each."

Father Qian winked at Mrs. Yang, meaning, I bought it for you alone, why did you cook the whole meal for everyone to eat?

Yang gave him a sideways look, meaning, if I eat alone, your daughter-in-law's face will grow as long as a loofah!

Song Qiu and Sui Er saw that there was pork shredded soup early in the morning, and they were so excited to eat it.Ge Taohua also ate loudly, seeing that there was a bowl for Qian Feng on the table, Ge Taohua wanted to share this bowl with Qian Tong, since the troublesome second brother was not there anyway.

But Qian Tong said: "Taohua, this belongs to the second brother, keep it for him, he is craving meat all day long, this bowl of pork shredded soup can satisfy his craving."

While Qian Tong was talking, Qian Feng ran back excitedly, holding a bamboo pole in his left hand and a bamboo basket in his right hand.

"Father, mother, look what I caught!" Qian Feng handed the bamboo basket to Mrs. Yang, "Mother, if you eat these, you will definitely have a big fat baby next year, hehe."

Mrs. Yang was sitting upright at first, but when she saw this, she was so frightened that she leaned back and almost fell all over the place, but Father Qian, who was sitting next to her, reacted quickly enough to support her wife.

Mrs. Yang cried out in agony, "Son, where did you catch this giant shrimp! You can't eat this!"

Qian Feng reached out and grabbed a shrimp for everyone to see, "What kind of strange shrimp is this? It's a big lobster! It can be made into spicy lobster, fried lobster in sauce, braised lobster, salt and pepper lobster, etc. It's delicious, big lobster Have you ever eaten?"
