Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 35

It was Qian Feng's first time to carry the load, and he was exhausted. He went to the kitchen to drink water desperately, and the pomegranate followed him in.

Yang looked at the white noodles in the basket, and was so happy from ear to ear, "Oh, my in-laws are really generous, even the white noodles are willing to give back, and there are also peanuts, winter melons and pumpkins. Tonight, I will make roasted winter melons!"

Father Qian shook his head and smiled, "You bitch, your eyelids are so shallow, you've never seen anything before, don't just look at things, you have to remember the love of your in-laws."

"Remember it, remember it." Yang said with a smile and was about to move fifty catties of white flour out of the basket, so scared that Father Qian rushed to pick it up.

"You still think you are 20 years old, and you are still pregnant with a baby!" Father Qian gave Yang a look, and took out the things in the basket one by one.

Ge Taohua was holding back her anger today, but now that Qian Feng brought back so many things from her husband's house, she finally calmed down and felt much more comfortable.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carried the dinner to the table. As expected, they cooked wax gourd and cooked peanuts. The whole family ate happily and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After dinner, Qian Feng lay on the bed with his legs crossed and told stories to Pomegranate.Pomegranate lay beside him, laughing out of breath.

"If you take a plane, it only takes an hour from our place to the capital." Qian Feng said while lamenting the backwardness here.

"What is an airplane?" Pomegranate asked.

"It's just...it's like a bird, and it also has two wings. Just imagine it as a big bird."

"Haha..." Pomegranate laughed again, "A person is so heavy, sitting on the bird, wouldn't it crush the bird to fall from the sky, slap! Both humans and birds are dead, haha..."

"Big bird, big bird, you should be a little sparrow!"

"No matter how big a bird is, it can only carry one person. I heard that a crane can only carry a fairy. If you say that it can carry one or two hundred people, the bird will be flattened long ago, and its feathers will be turned into scum. , haha... Dad is right, you are a braggart, haha..."

Seeing Shiliu rolling on the bed laughing, Qian Feng spread his hands, is this funny?If he told her about the world he lived in before, wouldn't she be paralyzed with laughter?But it's good, anyway, she can't figure out why, and every time in the future, every time he is so suffocated and wants to complain about the backwardness here, he can have a good time in front of the pomegranate, and just have fun before going to bed every night. .

Father Qian squatted on the floor of his house, scratching the ground with a wooden stick.

Sitting under the lamp, Mrs. Yang mended a pair of torn socks. She glanced at the ground and asked, "The family will be separated tomorrow. Are you thinking about how to divide the land?"

Father Qian was still scribbling on the ground, and sighed: "Yes, a bowl of water needs to be leveled, and the field can be divided evenly. But our fields are neither square nor round. If we want to divide the land evenly, It's really difficult, it seems that I have to take a long bamboo to the field to measure it."

"How do you measure it? Your youngest son refuses to work in the fields. Just like pomegranates, it seems that you can manage your son? How can you grow so much land with only pomegranates? You give the eldest son a little more, the eldest daughter-in-law. You will be delighted to go to heaven."

"That's not very good, how much do you give the eldest son?"

Mrs. Yang said in a low voice: "You are stupid, the youngest son planted less land, and the harvest must be less, we two secretly help him a little, and give them a little money to spend when they have nothing to do, won't it be enough?"

Father Qian shook his head, "You just get used to it. You love your little son, and he won't go to the farm all his life. Can you help him all his life? You still have a little one in your stomach."

Mrs. Yang also sighed, "Then what do you think we should do? Feng'er refuses to go to the ground, you haven't seen the burden he's carrying today, it's like killing him. If he doesn't work all day, Shiliu will be alone Going to work in the field, people in our village can't scold us for bullying pomegranate?"

Father Qian threw away the wooden stick in his hand, really worried.

At this time, the two of them were very happy when they heard Pomegranate laughing over there.Father Qian couldn't help laughing, "Okay, listen to you, as long as the two of them are happy, then share some of their land, and when we pay off our debts and save money, we can secretly give them a little bit."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Father Qian invited Uncle Xiang to his home.

The family was going to be separated, Ge Taohua blushed with excitement, and sat there rubbing her hands, a little impatient.Father Qian and Uncle Xiang were discussing one by one, Mrs. Yang was feeding the pigs, and Qian Tong led a pair of children to play in the yard.

Qian Feng and Pomegranate squatted there laying mulberry leaves, and many silkworms emerged early this morning.Qian Feng was full of joy, but Pomegranate was full of sadness, "Qian Feng, when the time comes, don't pull me to eat silkworm chrysalis, okay?"

Qian Feng looked up at the worried look of the pomegranate, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, if you want to eat it then I won't give it to you. I will turn the silkworm chrysalis into a silkworm moth and give birth to more children. Come and see our house." There are more silkworms. If the silkworm cocoons are sold for a lot of money, I will also make you a silk dress, how about it?"

"Okay, okay!" Pomegranate clapped her hands and applauded.

Qian Tong, who was playing with the children next to him, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and said, "Let's daydream."

At this moment, Father Qian was shouting in the house, "Come in quickly, I have almost discussed with Uncle Xiang."

The whole family came in and sat down.Uncle Baihu Zixiang picked up the details of the family division that had been discussed just now, and said: "These are preliminary discussions. If you have any opinions, you can discuss them again. After all the divisions are settled, I will write them down in writing, and then you cannot go back on your word."
