Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 6

Father Qian shook his head when he heard this, walked over and pulled him into the room, and said dejectedly: "You are lazy and no one can control you, so stop bragging!"

Qian Feng stiffened his neck, "I'm not bragging, you just wait and see when the time comes!"

Mrs. Yang snatched the hatchet from Ge Taohua's hand and said, "Okay, don't scare the child."

Yang put the hatchet on the pile of firewood outside the stove house, then entered the main room, and said earnestly to Qian Feng: "Feng'er, I beg you, please stop making trouble, and let parents save money." Don't worry, can you let your eldest brother and sister-in-law live a peaceful life?"

"Mom, why am I so worried?" Qian Feng was a little impatient.

Yang counted on her fingers one by one: "Aren't you making trouble by wanting to cut your hair? Parents who suffer from body and skin, you are so rebellious. I don't know how many people in the village are making jokes behind your back, so you and I are the only ones who can tolerate it." Got you! Also, eating silkworm chrysalis and scorpions is not counted, what if you eat dead people? Isn’t that a big deal when you take a shower three times a day and almost burn the firewood at home? Is it okay to let these things be trivial, and you still yell If you want to go far away to do business, with your muddleheaded mind, you are lucky not to be sold. What kind of business would you do? It’s only been quiet for a few days, and you are clamoring to see pomegranate again. Your father and I are thinking about it , since you want to see Shiliu so much, you should get married as soon as possible. It's only a month or so, why are you clamoring to see her again? You can't wait for you this month. This is a disgrace and will be thrown to the entire Yinshan Town and Qinghe County Go, your father and I are almost ashamed to see people! I don’t blame your sister-in-law for losing her temper. You have been lazy and never worked in the fields.

Qian Feng had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "Then what should I do to not make a fuss?"

Mrs. Yang replied: "You stay at home honestly. Your father and I will go to the town to buy a big gift tomorrow morning. You can go to the town to make a set of groom's clothes and some new clothes. You will wait next month. After we get married, we will separate from your elder brother and sister-in-law, you and Pomegranate will share the land, so you can't be lazy anymore, you have to work in the fields to support your family, maybe you will have children in the coming year!"

Qian Feng was speechless. He didn't want to face the loess and turn his back to the sky to farm. Seeing that his family looked like a madman, he could only deal with it first, otherwise it would be bad if people were killed. He shook his sleeves , "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and dad."

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian were a little happy when they heard it, it was really rare to hear such words from his mouth.After Qian Feng finished speaking, he ran into the stove house. After all the troubles just now, he was already covered in sweat.

Ge Shi was washing dishes in the pot, and when he saw Qian Feng pouring water into the inner pot, he knew he was going to take a bath.She frowned and shouted: "Second brother, I won't stop you from washing three times a day. Anyway, you go up the mountain to cut some firewood and come back, and you have burned more than half of the firewood pile at home!"

Eldest brother Qian Tong winked at Ge Shi, "Taohua, you just let the second brother do it, he just promised his parents that he would not go to see the pomegranate, tomorrow I will go to chop a load when I come back from work in the field, I will chop firewood quickly. "

Ge Taohua rolled her eyes at her man, "I've never seen you so stupid. Marrying you is my worst luck in eight lifetimes. It's hard enough to raise a pair of children at home, but I have to raise a big..."

Sitting under the stove, Qian Feng stood up and rolled up his sleeves, wanting to have a good argument with Ge Taohua, when will he be raised by his elder brother?

Eldest brother Qian Tong hurriedly interrupted Ge Taohua and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk anymore, the family will be separated next month."

Qian Feng saw that his elder brother was trying to smooth things over, so he put down his sleeves and sat down to light the fire. He said with a dark smile, if you divide it, you can divide it. Me, hey!
The next day, Father Qian and Mrs. Yang walked in front, and Qian Feng swaggered behind with his hands behind his back.After arriving in the town, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Yang took out half of their family savings to buy meat, sugar, cloth, silver collars and silver bracelets. They also specially bought red paper to wrap eight strings of copper plates, and then the old couple hurried to the town. The Tian family left Qian Feng at the tailor shop to choose fabrics to make clothes.

After Qian Feng chose the big red cloth for the groom's clothes, he chose a few feet of blue cloth for the new clothes. He looked around at the cloth hanging on the wall, and suddenly pointed to the purple cloth and said, "Use this kind of cloth to make me a dress." One set."

The old tailor smiled and said with squinted eyes: "Oh, my brother has a good eye. This kind of fabric is made of satin. Those who can afford this kind of fabric will surely become rich and powerful in the future!"

Qian Feng tapped the counter leisurely with ten fingers, raised his head and said, "That's for sure."

The old tailor then said with a sneer: "I don't know if you have enough money in your pocket?"

Qian Feng frowned, "How much is a foot?"

The old tailor held out five fingers.

The corner of Qian Feng's mouth curled up, "I can't afford five cents a foot?" He took money out of his sleeve pocket as he spoke.

"Five...ten...wen a foot!" The old tailor stretched out his voice.

Qian Feng's hand froze. Isn't fifty cash a foot worth more than 500 cash for a piece of clothing? He looked at the old tailor, "Are you robbing?"

Seeing that Qian Feng's eyes were fierce and strange, the old tailor couldn't help taking a step back, and said, "You...you are not allowed to play tricks. You can make a groom's suit for one hundred cash, and the blue one just now for eighty cash. Just do these two things first.”

Qian Feng held the two strings of money in his hands and jingled them, his eyes still looking at the purple cloth hanging on the wall from time to time.

The old tailor squinted at him and thought to himself, don't worry about it if you can't afford it. Only two landlords and one rich peasant in the whole town can afford this kind of cloth.

At this time a girl came in, and the old tailor was just worrying about Qian Fengchu, so he stepped forward and said, "Girl, you also want to buy cloth to make new clothes?"

Shiliu walked to a place not far from Qian Feng's with big strides, nodded happily to the old tailor and said, "Well, I want to tear cloth to make wedding shoes."
