Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 257

Qian Tong put the key tied with the rope on his hand, "Mother is right, this money should be reserved for Song Qiu's marriage and Sui'er's dowry. Whether Song Qiu will be successful in the future is not up to you. Now that he can read well, he thinks that he will be a high-ranking official. You must know that there are many people who can read in this world, and poor scholars are not everywhere? We plan to."

Ge Taohua rushed over at once, wanting to snatch the key from Qian Tong's hand, "Qian Tong, you can't do this, it's fine if the second brother refuses to lend us money to build a yard, and you don't want to spend the money, I still want it Make some new clothes for Pine Ball and Spike!"

Qian Tong frowned and said, "What kind of new clothes are you making? The clothes they are wearing don't have a single patch on them. Why spend this unjustified money? Look at the clothes worn by the children in the village. Which one is not patched?"

Ge Taohua was so anxious that she went crazy, "Why do we have to compare with those poor people in the village? Look at what the second brother and Shiliu are wearing! The second brother himself said during the Chinese New Year that the whole family is blessed, but now he only cares about talking to Shiliu." Live a good life and leave parents and us alone, right?"

Just as Qian Tong was about to explain, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Sister-in-law, open the door, I have something to give you." Pomegranate said outside.

Ge Taohua went to open the door sullenly, and saw Shiliu holding a big bundle in his hand.Ge Taohua didn't pay attention to this, but found that Pomegranate had already changed into a denim dress, and there was only an ordinary silver hairpin stuck in her head.

In contrast, Ge Taohua not only had a beautiful silver hairpin on her head, but also a pair of silver earrings and a pair of heavy silver bracelets. She was wearing muslin embroidered clothes. She looked like a landlady, while Pomegranate Like an ordinary village woman.

"Pomegranate, you... why are you dressed like this?" Ge Taohua thought to herself, could it be that she refused to borrow money and started pretending to be poor?
Shiliu grinned, "I'm going to work in the field in the afternoon, so it's convenient to wear it in the field."

Pomegranate walked into the house, opened the bundle, and there were some good cloths inside, "Sister-in-law, you can use these cloths to make clothes for Sui Er and Song Qiu. I saved some for Duo Duo, but there are too many cloths at home, so it's a pity to leave them alone." gone."

Ge Taohua touched the soft and beautiful cloth, a little puzzled, "Pomegranate, wouldn't it be nice to keep it for Qian Feng and you to make clothes for yourself? Why give it all to my family?"

Shiliu looked down at herself, "Sister-in-law, don't you see that my clothes are very nice, Qian Feng and I have a lot of clothes in the closet that we haven't worn once. In fact, in our hometown, it is too It's not good to be too ostentatious and look like a landlady, and I don't like local mistresses. Now that Duo is old, I can work behind his back. I can't work at all when I wear clothes, and I wear jewelry to wash pots It’s not convenient to wash dishes, so these are not used at all.”

As Shiliu spoke, she took out a pair of silver bracelets from her sleeve, "You take this too, and save it for Sui'er to wear when she grows up. I still have two pairs at home, and I don't have time to wear them."

Ge Taohua was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Pomegranate is so rich now, and she still dresses so plainly, and she has to bring Duoduo to work.But as a sister-in-law, she still wants to borrow money to build a big yard, and wants to live like a landlady, and doesn't want to live too hard.

She felt that pomegranate must be trying to annoy her on purpose, so she just thanked pomegranate perfunctorily and accepted all these things one by one.She thought, after staying for a few days, Qian Feng and Shiliu would definitely not be able to pretend, and would continue to live a life of spending money lavishly wearing gold and silver.

What she didn't expect was that a month later, Qian Feng and Shiliu were still dressed like this. Although they were better dressed than ordinary peasants and women, they didn't stand out among the crowd.The food is better than that of ordinary farmers, but it is not as good as before.

Ge Taohua was puzzled, is this young couple pretending to be more like each other?
On this day, Boss Xiao came to Qian Feng to buy stones, and brought a good news and a bad news by the way.The good news is that buyers of these medicinal materials have already agreed to receive them in early autumn, and the prices are not low.The bad news is that he asked someone to go out and brag about how beautiful and pleasant the scenery of Peach Blossom Village was, but few people were interested, and occasionally one or two people from the nearby counties came to play, but after a few days With only one or two people here, it is impossible to do business in Peach Blossom Village.

Qian Feng was thinking, it seems that he really did something wrong, the ancient people would not like to go out and play as much as the modern people, you must know that many people have never even been out of the town, and there must be many small citizens in the states and counties who have never been out. Honshu County.

After Boss Xiao left, Qian Feng felt a little depressed, and planned to find someone to demolish the wooden houses in Taohua Village so that he would not be an eyesore.On this day, when all the workers in the workshop had finished their work, Qian Feng led them on the road, but saw a few people in official uniforms driving a carriage also heading towards Taohua Village, and there was a large plaque on the carriage.

Qian Feng didn't care too much, thinking that these people must have been sent by the government somewhere to do business, maybe they were sending plaques to some officials.The plaque was covered with red silk, and Qian Feng didn't know what words were engraved on it.

When Qian Feng and the workshop workers came to Taohua Village, they saw that the government's carriage also stopped, and the officials jumped out of the carriage one after another, carrying a large plaque, and wanted to hang it on the gate of Taohua Village.
