Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 218

Qian Feng and Pomegranate came to their field and saw that their eldest brother and sister-in-law were helping them weed.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you can hoe your own land." Qian Feng bent over to weed, although his movements were clumsy, but it felt quite comfortable to relax his muscles and bones in this way, "Brother, from tomorrow onwards, don't let Songqiu go to private schools, let him He can read and practice calligraphy by himself at home."

Qian Tong and Ge Taohua raised their heads at the same time, and asked in unison: "Why?"

Qian Feng paused, thinking about how to tell the two of them, because he couldn't tell them the truth, so as not to cause panic, but Song Qiu would go to town every day, and it would be very unsafe if there was a real mess of.

Qian Feng pondered for a moment and then said: "Songqiu came back these days and said that the children of the landlord's family bullied him. Go to a private school here, and let Songqiu go to town after they leave."

Qian Tong and Ge Taohua also thought that was the case. They wanted Qian Feng to help them find a teacher at the private school, and hoped that the teacher would protect the pine cone more, so that he would not be bullied all the time there.Now that they heard what Qian Feng said, they couldn't say anything more, so they nodded in agreement.

Qian Tong suddenly remembered something, and said, "I don't know what the price of charcoal will be this year. Er Xi and I still want to burn charcoal and sell it like last year. I reckon that the price of charcoal this year will be even better than last year."

Shiliu hurriedly said: "Brother, Erxi has no time to burn charcoal, he has to build a yard, and Shaoyao is pregnant with a baby, so he can no longer live in the shed to suffer from the cold. Uncle Xiang has been ill recently, and he can't get up on the kang, you guys I'm afraid the charcoal won't be able to burn."

Qian Feng looked at Shiliu happily, and felt that she had become more and more reliable in speaking and doing things recently, and was no longer as confused as before. She not only became more beautiful after giving birth, but also became a lot smarter, which is really amazing.I heard that most people will be stupid for three years after giving birth, and fat for at least three years. She has completely reversed it. It seems that she is blessed, and marrying a woman is so different.

Hearing what Shiliu said, Ge Taohua persuaded Qian Tong, "Don't think about burning charcoal to sell. Without Mr. Xiang and Erxi, you can't do this business. Why don't you just burn a few baskets of charcoal for your own family?" It can be used by people.”

Qian Tong sighed, "Oh, we can only live on the money given by our second brother, and we can't do anything by ourselves."

Qian Feng said with a smile: "Brother, what are you talking about? It's a credit to you to burn more good charcoal. My family will use a lot this winter. The fireplace is ready. Put more charcoal in time to keep the house warm." Yes, you all go in and play, you don’t need to be around a brazier to keep warm like before.”

Pomegranate may not have worked like this for a long time, and it was very exciting to hoe the grass. After a while, he finished hoeing and asked, "Qian Feng, when can we move into the new yard? I can't wait." .”

Qian Feng supported the hoe to rest for a while, snapped his fingers at the pomegranate, and said, "The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month!"

"Isn't that the Laba Festival?"

"Yes, let's have a double happiness!"

Qian Feng not only went to work in the fields by himself, but also hoped that the wheat and rapeseed would grow vigorously, so that he could collect more grain and oil in the coming year, and spent a lot of money to buy grain and oil everywhere.A lot of cellars were dug in the backyard, and they almost couldn't fit them.

Pomegranate panicked, "Qian Feng, you can't buy any more. Although there are fifty workshop workers in our family who need to eat, you usually save food for one to two months before, but this time you can buy enough food. It’s been half a year, and it will rot if left for a long time.”

Qian Feng deliberately pulled his fingers, and said mysteriously: "Don't you know that your man can tell fortunes? I think there may be a drought in the coming year, and the harvest will be greatly reduced. If you don't collect more grain in advance, you will want to buy it then." There's nowhere to buy it."

Shi Liu is not so easy to be fooled now, "Didn't you say that fortune-telling was all made up in the past, I feel that something is wrong with you recently, could it be that Fatty came over last time and said something to you?"

Qian Feng had no choice but to follow her words: "My pomegranates are getting better and better. You guessed it right. Big Fatty said that we will supply the food and oil for the station in the coming year. The price is not low, so I will Buy some more."

Pomegranate was finally fooled, and said with a smile: "Then we have to earn another sum of money?"

"Of course, if the fat and water don't flow into other people's fields, the big fat will naturally give us the benefits." Qian Feng smiled, but he was always planning carefully in his heart. He must let the family get through this safely. A chaotic year.

Fifteen days passed in a blink of an eye, and the news spread that the magistrate was arrested and sent to prison. Fatty Jia released the news that the magistrate was corrupt and perverted the law. Few people knew that the magistrate was arrested because he was in contact with the warlords from all over the country. too close.

Fatty Jia became the new county magistrate, and Shiliu was very happy about it for a long time. She said that she must go to the county government a few years ago. She had never seen how the county magistrate handles errands and tries cases in court.Qian Feng advised her not to worry, but to wait until the next year, the officials are very busy and don't have time to entertain them, so don't cause trouble for Fatty Jia and Huier.
