Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 80

Qian Feng always speaks freely, and he is not afraid of being heard by Lihua.

Lihua's tears flowed down her cheeks, and she heard Shiliu ask Qian Feng, "Can Lihua not get married and return all the dowry to the Li family?"

Qian Feng shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work, I guess the Li family still wants to marry Lihua to celebrate."

Lihua knew that what Qian Feng said was right, she ran all the way home and cried all the way, she would rather not have a shop but a man, how nice it is to have a man who hurts like pomegranate.In her dreams, she wanted to be loved by a man. She didn't want to stay in her mother's house for a long time. Her parents only loved her three younger brothers, and they simply raised her as their own.

When Shiliu turned around and saw that Lihua had run away, she was also depressed, walking listlessly, and suddenly sighed.

Qian Feng has never seen Pomegranate's sad look before, "Pomegranate, Lihua treats you badly, and you don't have a good time with her. Why do you worry about her? Some people, you treat her well. Not only did she not remember it, but she even bit you back, don’t you remember what happened to Xiu’er? She will depend on us later on.”

Shiliu faltered and said: "I'm worried that Lihua will haunt you after becoming a widow. She will definitely regret not marrying you. I heard that many widows take the initiative to hook up with other men after a few years. There is no shame at all."

Shiliu's words really made Qian Feng look at her with admiration, "Oh, my pomegranate is still aware of danger, don't worry, the town is a few miles away from Qianjia Village, why is she pestering me? Besides, you are not very good at it. Slap someone's mouth, and then show it!"

Shiliu smiled embarrassedly, and then felt guilty again, "I beat Xiu'er last time, she must still be angry with me, and I don't know if she has become a nun."

Qian Feng sighed: "Everyone has their own destiny. As long as Xiu'er is a little promising, she can go out of her own way. Don't worry about her. It's the same for Lihua. The two families have already made an engagement, so she can't just go back on her word. Maybe the youngest son of the Li family won't die. Even if he does die, Lihua can go back to her mother's house and marry someone else after she becomes a widow. Although she can't choose a good man, there are still many bachelors. As long as she is a smart and capable woman, what I can live a good life. I'm afraid that she will be reluctant to part with the Li family's shop, and then go to harm the married men in the neighbors, then she will really become a disaster."

Pomegranate seemed to understand, but in fact, she was not only worried that Lihua would become a widow, she was somewhat pitiful for Lihua, after all, Lihua had helped her, if it wasn't for Lihua's refusal to marry Qian Feng, how could she have picked this up? leak?

Shiliu said: "If Lihua really becomes a widow at that time, I will persuade her to remarry, okay?"

Qian Feng shook his head hurriedly, "No, if she marries a bad man, you will be blamed for being so sloppy. She is smart, and you don't need to remind me of this. Let's live our lives well and make suitable friends, like Shaoyao. You can get close to her, but you should stay away from Lihua, you know?"

Shiliu nodded obediently, "Well, I will ignore her from now on."

Qian Feng scratched her nose, "That's how you behave."

Arriving at Qinghe County near noon, they set up a stall in the same place as last time, and no one from the nearby shops came out to chase them away, unlike the guy in the restaurant in front who made things difficult for others.

Shiliu sat in front of the stall and yelled. Qian Feng went to buy red wedding paper and paper for writing letters. He passed by a bookstore and bought a few books.

Because Qian Feng didn't want pomegranates to eat cold cakes, which would be bad for the stomach, so he didn't bring dry food out in the morning. When he bought books, he bought a few steaming steamed buns, and after eating with pomegranates, he set up a table and sat down .

Pomegranate was yelling, and Qian Feng was sitting there with nothing to do. He felt that Pomegranate's mouth must be dry if he kept yelling, so he wrote the words "Yinshan Town" on the paper and stuck it on the basket, and then attached A price list, what is sold at what price, written in a large and eye-catching.

Although most people don't know how to read, people will come to watch the excitement when they see they can write. Pomegranate also saves saliva, and only needs to yell once or twice to attract people who can read.

After writing these, Qian Feng sat beside him and read a book, quite leisurely.

It's just that after a short while, customers from Pomegranate came to buy things, and Qian Feng had to help settle the accounts and collect the money.This time it was much more lively than last time. From time to time, people came up to ask the price, and there were quite a few deals. As for whether Qian Feng's writing played a role, I don't know.

At this time, an old man saw paper and pens on Qian Feng's table, came over and asked, "My little brother, can you write happy couplets? My son is getting married soon, and I want three sets of happy couplets."

"Yes." Qian Feng secretly rejoiced, of course he will, isn't he setting up this table just to do this business, "Master, tell me, what to write."

Qian Feng spread out the paper, grinded the ink, and waited for the uncle to speak.But the old man said: "I haven't read a book so I don't know how to write it. You wrote Xilian, don't you know?"

"Uh... Yes, yes, I asked because I was afraid that you would not like what I wrote." Qian Feng thought to himself, since he has read books for more than ten years, it should be no problem to make up a happy pair.

The uncle asked worriedly again: "How much is it for you to write a happy couplet here? It won't be very expensive, right?"

Only then did Qian Feng realize that he hadn't set a price yet, and he didn't know much about the market, so he said, "Don't worry, sir, my place will only be cheaper than other places, not more expensive than others, so just tell me how much the other places cost." .”

The uncle was also honest, and said: "There are ten-character ones and eight-character ones. I think they are similar. I can't see which one is better. Just tell me how much you want for a pair. If it’s too expensive, I won’t write with you.”

Qian Feng rolled up his sleeves, "Grandpa, I'll count seven cents for you, and you'll be satisfied if you write it out."

The uncle nodded happily when he heard that it was cheap, "Why don't you save me another penny, can I write three copies for twenty pennies?"

"Success!" Qian Feng picked up the pen to write, and Shi Liu came over to look at it. She knew that Qian Feng could write, but she didn't know that he could also make up happy pairs.

People in Qianjia Village and several nearby villages all asked Uncle Xiang to write couplets for happy couplets and couplets for Spring Festival, but he couldn't make them up at all. Then a few pairs.

Although the people in the villages are illiterate, after decades of reading, they can see that Uncle Xiang has not changed his tricks. However, there is only one family in the town who writes it, and it is expensive, so the one written by Uncle Tuxiang is cheap and talented. Four pennies, I ask him to write every year.Uncle Xiang has many sons and few fields, so he relies on this to earn some money to supplement his family every year.
