Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 40

After eating two more tender radishes, Pomegranate turned around and was startled, Qian Feng came riding a cow!He also had two big sacks and some twine in his hand.

"Qian Feng, I can handle this little thing, why are you driving the cattle to pull it?"

Qian Feng put the radishes in the basket into the sack and said, "You know why peasant women look older than women in the city. Some are only in their early thirties, but they look like women in their 50s and [-]s Almost, it’s all hard work and hard work. At that time, I will still be suave and suave, but you will look like an old lady, aren’t you afraid that I will despise you?”

Pomegranate stiffened, and said, "I'm afraid, don't dislike me, I'm good at working! Oh no, I'll work less, so I won't turn myself into an old lady!"

Qian Feng patted Shiliu's head, "Well, good job."

Pomegranate laughed again.

The sacks were big enough, and there was room for all the radishes to be put into the two sacks, and the two of them poured all the peppers into them, and let the ox carry them.Qian Feng was carrying an empty load, holding the ox rope, humming a tune without lyrics.

Pomegranate put the few radish leaves that she had cut off while eating radishes just now into the basket and carried them on her back. The piglets at home really like to eat radish leaves.

"Qian Feng, what song are you humming? I haven't heard it before. It's weird." Shiliu followed happily.

"Divine Comedy." Qian Feng blurted out.

Shiliu didn't know what the Divine Comedy was, but she hummed the little song she knew.

After arriving home, the two cooperated to wash and marinate most of the radishes and peppers into the jar.Cut the rest into strips, put them on the dustpan to dry, and then make spicy radish strips.The picked red peppers are finely chopped with a knife, made into chopped peppers, and put into small clay pots to marinate.

After the husband and wife finished this, Pomegranate went to cook some radishes and leaves for the piglets to eat, and Qian Feng began to study making unicycles and four-wheeled carts.

Fortunately, the trees here can be cut down casually, so you don't have to worry about running out of wood, as there is a rough tree in the yard.He heard that Uncle Xiang had a four-wheeled scooter, so he went to take a closer look. When he came back, he cut a homemade wooden ruler and squatted there to measure it.

It was getting dark at this time, and the family members came back. Seeing Qian Feng squatting there chopping wood, Qian Tong asked him what he was doing.To tell the truth, Qian Feng scared his elder brother quite a bit.

"Brother, don't make such a fuss, these are easy to do, but the wheels are a bit more complicated, and the rest is just to put the wooden boards together, it's simple!"

Seeing that his elder brother didn't believe he could do it well, Qian Feng didn't care, and said, "Go to the back of the yard to dig the cellar. I've already drawn a circle. You can just dig down first. After a few days, it's almost done. I'll teach you how to dig down."

Qian Tong was stunned, "You...can you do it?"

Ge Taohua ran over, "Second brother, don't make your elder brother work!"

At this time, Father Qian interjected and said: "Whether we can dig it or not, let's try it first. Peach Blossom, this is not considered as Feng'er sending Tong'er to work. Isn't Feng'er making a scooter? It's done." We can all use it, I saw that Uncle Xiang’s cart is really good, I have long wanted to ask a carpenter to do it, but I don’t think it’s too expensive.”

Ge Taohua couldn't object anymore, and said: "I don't expect my second brother to make any carts, as long as I don't waste all the wood in the house." After she finished speaking, she went to cook.

After working all afternoon, Qian Feng was also tired. He went into the kitchen to cook vegetables and pomegranates to light the fire. This was agreed at noon, and he couldn't break his promise.Seeing that Qian Feng was finally willing to do some work, Yang's face was full of joy, and he didn't care that his son was a big man and shouldn't hang around the stove.

Father Qian and Qian Tong started digging cellars in the backyard, and everyone had work to do.

Song Qiu and Sui Er ran into the kitchen and watched Qian Feng cooking.

"Second Uncle, it's boring for me and my sister to play at home. Where are you going to work tomorrow? Can I go with my sister?" Songqiu and Sui'er usually followed Qian Feng around. Playing at home, I feel that it is boring if the second uncle is not at home.

Qian Feng thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow morning, your aunt and I will go to the mountain to chop bamboo, will you two go?"

"Go!" Pine Ball and Spike jumped happily.

Yang said: "Why don't you two follow your parents? It's better to play in the field than on the mountain. What if you get bitten by a snake when you go up the mountain?"

Pomegranate sitting under the stove said with a smile, "Mother, it's okay, as long as I'm here, they won't be bitten by snakes, I dare to catch snakes!"

Yang grinned in fright.

Qian Feng said again: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the town to set up a table and tell a story. Would you two little fellows want to go?"

"Ah? Go! Go!" Song Qiu and Sui Er jumped up and down happily, and then one ran to tell mother, and the other ran to tell father.

Yang thought she heard it wrong, "Feng'er, what were you talking about just now? You want to tell a story?"

Qian Feng was frying the vegetables in the pot and said, "Mom, don't look down on me, okay? If I make money tomorrow, I will buy two catties of meat and eat it back."

Yang's eyes widened towards her son.

Qian Feng said again: "Don't worry, I will give you half of it when I buy it, and you will feed the baby in your belly!"

Yang rolled her eyes angrily.
