Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 3

The pomegranates have put the blackened leeks on the plate, and now the pot is boiling egg soup.Seeing that her father and younger brother had come back, she ran out happily, stirred the freshly collected peanuts in the basket with her hands, and then peeled and ate a few of them.

While eating, she giggled and said, "Father, our peanuts are really big this year, and they will definitely sell for a good price!"

Father Tian is already in his early fifties. In fact, he is married to Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin has not had children for the past ten years. I thought that the two of them would never have children in this life, and they planned to stay together forever. Old, I didn't expect Lin to be pregnant suddenly when Father Tian was in his 30s.

The birth of the pomegranate brought them a lot of fun. They treated the pomegranate like a big baby, and it hurt them like a bump. What was even more unexpected was that two years later, they had another son, Shi Yazi, and within two years they had both children. .

Since then, Father Tian has become proud, working hard together with Mrs. Lin to raise the two children. Because Pomegranate is not smart enough, she is often teased by the villagers, so they love Pomegranate even more. They are afraid that she will be bullied by the villagers and love her more than their son. .In their eyes, pomegranate is not as stupid as everyone imagines, in fact, it is not very clever.

Father Tian is honest and honest. He has always been extremely loving and generous to his two children. He has never displayed his father's majesty in front of them. Maybe he doesn't know what strictness means in his heart.

When he heard Pomegranate say that the flowers in our house grow big, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he said, "The peanuts in our house can grow so well, that's because you fertilize very frequently, and all of this is your credit. Thanks to my good daughter Pomegranate."

When Pomegranate heard her father praise her so much, she happily ran to her mother, Mrs. Lin, to show off, "Mother, father said that it is my credit for the good growth of our flowers. I am very good at planting peanuts. Sell ​​it for a lot of money!"

Mrs. Lin came out of the stove together with the matchmaker from Qianjia Village. Mrs. Lin proudly said to the matchmaker, "Look, my pomegranate is not only hardworking, but also very capable. Farming is no worse than men!"

The matchmaker smiled and echoed: "That is! Your family is willing to betroth the pomegranate to the Qian family. That is Brother Feng's blessing. It is because the Qian family burned incense for eight lifetimes."

Hearing what the matchmaker said, Mrs. Lin and Tian were all smiles. Everyone loves to hear others praise their daughter. Even Shi Yazi grinned when he was listening. He also thought that her sister was very good.

The matchmaker then told Father Tian that the Qian family proposed that they wanted to marry Pomegranate next month.Father Tian stopped immediately, and asked: "Isn't Qian Feng making some strange mistakes again? Why is he thinking so hard about seeing Shiliu? They met before they got engaged, so why rush it?" ?”

The matchmaker was busy trying to smooth things over, "Daddy Tian, ​​don't think too much, Brother Feng has been doing well recently, but there is nothing strange about it, just... just that..., ouch, Daddy Tian, ​​you also came here when you were young, I also know that the man is full of vigor, so it's okay to rush to see his wife. The second elder of the Qian family was worried that Brother Feng would suddenly run over to see Pomegranate and make a joke one day, so he wanted to quickly get the young couple married and consummated the house. The Qian family I even asked a fortune teller to make a fortune, saying that if the two of them have a happy event on the ninth day of the next month, they will live a smooth and smooth life in the future."

Father Tian sat down on a smooth stone bench in his home soil dojo. He looked up at his daughter Pomegranate, and fell silent for a while. idea.

Father Tian was a little worried, so he took out an earthen pipe from his big sleeve pocket, and Shi Yazi quickly made sparks from the stove to light dry tobacco for his father.

"Ah!" Pomegranate suddenly exclaimed, seeing her younger brother walking out of the stove, she remembered that there was still egg soup boiling in the pot.

Father Tian and Mrs. Lin had heard too much of Pomegranate's surprise and surprise, so they didn't react much. They just shocked the matchmaker beside her. Heart disease to scare out.

Pomegranate hurriedly ran in and opened the lid of the pot, and found that the egg soup was half boiled dry, so she quickly packed the rest and took a closer look at the soup bowl, and there was still half a bowl of egg soup.Shi Yazi looked at it and smiled, and said: "Sister, you can drink this half bowl of soup by yourself, and I will drink water with my parents later."

Pomegranate's reckless behavior is extremely normal for Father Tian, ​​Mrs. Lin, and Shi Yazi. It's just that half a bowl of egg soup is missing. They didn't even move their buttocks. Promise to the Qian family.

The matchmaker couldn't help wondering whether this pomegranate would work. The leeks were burnt just now, and now half a bowl of egg soup has been boiled dry. If she married into the Qian family like this, she might be tricked to death by Brother Feng.

But when she thought about it, she was just a matchmaker, but no matter what, she came this trip just to deliver a message, and then she would receive three catties of sugar from the Qian family when she returned home. After a few heartbeats, he said: "The Qian family said that if you two elders agree, his family will send a big gift tomorrow, and make up for the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival gifts. Your family will not suffer."
