Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 14

Father Qian hissed nervously, "Hush your voice, what kind of lobster is not a lobster? Only the emperor can call it a 'dragon'. Why do you give such a big strange shrimp such a nice name? If someone hears it, Maybe the head of the village will come to ask questions, and you will have to bear it if you are sent to the county government to beat the board, you are not allowed to cause trouble for our family!"

Qian Feng was speechless, catching a few lobsters is called causing trouble?This is a delicious big lobster. As for all the fuss?It even got to the emperor's head.

Ge Taohua looked disgusted, and shouted: "Second brother, quickly take these monsters away, and let no one eat!"

Qian Feng threw the lobster into the bamboo basket, and fished out a small crucian carp from it, "Don't be afraid of this!"

Father Qian nodded quickly, "This crucian carp is not bad, keep it for your mother to cook at noon. Your mother doesn't eat anything good, so it's time to make up for it."

Ge Taohua lowered her head to eat, rolled her eyes, and took the opportunity to stretch out her chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of shredded meat in Qian Feng's bowl of shredded pork soup and stuff them into her mouth.

Qian Feng sat down to have breakfast with everyone. After eating, Dad Qian, Qian Tong, and Ge Taohua all went to work in the fields.

Yang wanted to go but was too embarrassed to go out, so she said, "I'll stay at home and watch Songqiu and Suier."

Ge Taohua wanted to say, why do you need your old man to watch over the children when they are so old? Isn't Qian Feng at home?Do two adults have to stay at home with two children?As for her, Ge Taohua, her life is miserable, and she works tirelessly all day long!
Qian Feng brought a basin of water and said, "Mom, just sit here and watch how I wash the big lobster, oh no...wash the big monster shrimp."

Yang felt nauseous, almost vomited, and hurriedly backed away, "I don't look at it, I just ate this morning's meal for nothing!"

Qian Feng brushed the lobster's body and legs with a brush, Songqiu and Sui'er squatted beside and laughed, Ge Taohua ran over and pulled them away, "Look what, your second uncle is stupid, you guys The two of you are also in a pile of fools? Scrub and wash these dirty things like clothes, we are the only ones in this world! You two will go up the mountain with me to pull peanuts, you should learn to do some work when you are so old!"

Knowing that Ge Taohua was implying that Qian Feng was messing around all day and not going to work, Yang deliberately said that the two children should also work.Yang had no choice but to stand up, "I'll go to the field too." She couldn't care less about the embarrassment of her pregnancy or not. Anyway, everyone would know about it sooner or later. In fact, the whole village already knew about it.

Qian Feng sat there brushing very hard, and didn't bother to pay attention to his sister-in-law's sarcastic remarks, he even said to Yang's leaving back: "Mom, I'll catch some tomorrow and sell them in the town, maybe I can sell them for a lot of money! "

Mrs. Yang replied angrily: "Sell it for a fart! You give the money to others, and they dare not take it!"

But Qian Feng said: "Hmph, I'll make it at noon, and the whole yard will be filled with the smell of monster shrimp. Let's see who among you dare not eat it!"

The news of Mrs. Yang's pregnancy reached Mrs. Lin's ears in the morning, because the neighbors of Shiliu's family went to Qian's village to catch piglets, and just heard about this incident that everyone thought was ridiculous.After the neighbor came back, he went to work in the field and passed by Mrs. Lin and Papa Tian's land. Of course, he immediately told Mrs. Lin.

It took Lin a long time to realize what was going on, and then she said to Father Tian with some annoyance: "Father, will this be unlucky, Shiliu will marry into the Qian family next month, But her mother-in-law is pregnant with a baby, if Pomegranate is going to have a baby next year, and her mother-in-law happens to give birth before Pomegranate, will it be an offense?"

Father Tian didn't take it seriously, "There's nothing wrong with it, each has its own, so the pomegranate doesn't have to serve her mother-in-law for confinement, it's just that her sister-in-law is going to be busy to death."

At noon, after returning home, Mrs. Lin couldn't hold back and told Pomegranate about it.

Shiliu began to cry, "Father, mother, can I not marry Qian Feng?"

Mrs. Lin hurriedly said: "Pomegranate, it's all right, your father said, you won't offend, and when the time comes, each will have his own, so you don't have to worry about serving your mother-in-law. Why are you in a hurry?"

Pomegranate wiped her tears, "Mother, it's not about mother-in-law giving birth. This morning, Shaoyao and Lihua and I were making wedding shoes by the old well at the entrance of the village. I heard from Er Huzi that he came back from selling peanuts in the town this morning. Feng, he...he used earthworms to catch big monster shrimps, and he said he wanted to cook them, woohoo..., I'm so scared...I..."

Mrs. Lin was also shocked when she heard this, and looked at Father Tian helplessly.

Father Tian comforted: "Didn't you say last time, as long as you can't eat it to death? Besides, after you get married, don't eat those things you dare not eat, and Brother Feng won't have to go to you." Mouth stuffed."

Shi Liu still whimpered and cried: "Father, can you find me another husband's family again?"

"It's not impossible, it's hard to find, girl! The date is fixed, and it will be next month. If you regret the marriage, no one will dare to come to our house to propose marriage. You really can only be an old girl in your natal family in this life."

Lin's eyes were also wet, "Pomegranate, are you afraid of being an old girl at home and being laughed at?"

When Shiliu thought that the villagers covered their mouths and laughed when they saw her, saying that she had no man, she had to muster up her courage and say, "I don't want to be an old girl, I'm not afraid of eating monster shrimp!"
