Chapter 86

When Qian Feng was selling sugar just now, he deliberately saved a few pieces, preparing to give pomegranates as snacks.

At this moment, he heard his mother calling, so he took a piece of rock sugar, stuffed it into his mother's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is it sweet?"

Yang Shi was happy now, with candy in his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and said straight: "Sweet! Sweet!"

"Mother, don't worry, next time I go to the county and buy more, I will keep enough for you and sister-in-law. I only accept money from sister-in-law, not from you, is it okay?"

Mrs. Yang was even happier when she heard that she didn't need money, she smiled like a child, "Okay, okay, of course it's fine if you don't need money."

Seeing that Mrs. Yang was eating candy, Songqiu and Sui'er both ran over, so Qian Feng went to the room and took out the remaining three yuan, stuffed one piece into Songqiu's mouth, and stuffed another piece into Sui'er's mouth, and then Put a piece in the mouth of a pomegranate.

Pomegranate had been waiting for a long time, Qian Feng didn't miss her, and gave her candy, she said happily: "Mom, Qian Feng and I earned a lot of money this time!"

The candy in Yang's mouth was not willing to bite, but she slowly incited and said vaguely: "How much is a lot of money, how much is it last time?"

"I earned it yesterday..." Shiliu suddenly remembered that Qian Feng would not let her talk about writing couplets, and then thought that she spent so much money on the theater, so she stammered, "I made it..., you asked Qian Feng to tell me about it." Tell me, I'm going to wash the vegetables and cook."

Shiliu ran away, leaving Qian Feng here to deal with his mother.

Qian Feng was very happy that he had sold out all the salt and sugar just now, and now there are only some headbands and silk flowers that are not sold out, but he is not in a hurry, and someone will come to the door after changing the hairstyle of Pomegranate in a few days.He sat down and said nervously, "Mother, let me tell you one by one. If you can figure it out, you will know how much I earn."

He said in detail: "Yesterday I earned 31 Wen, this morning I earned [-] Wen selling half a basket of eggs, I just sold salt for [-] Wen, and selling sugar, hair ropes, and silk flowers earned [-] Wen. It cost us two to stay in the inn." Twenty cash, fifty cash for two padded jackets and trousers, spent on food..."

Yang quickly interrupted, her head was dizzy, "Stop! Stop! Can you just say the sum?"

Qian Feng laughed loudly, Song Qiu and Sui Er rolled with laughter, not forgetting to comment, "Grandma doesn't know how to settle accounts!"

Everyone was enjoying themselves, when Yang suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise, "What? The padded jacket and trousers cost money to make? You ask me to make them for you, so I can earn fifty cents?"

"Wealth fan! Your eyes are not good, how can you be tired? Pregnant people can't always do needlework." After Qian Feng finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to help pomegranate cook, so as not to make his mother feel bad about the fifty cents and pester her endlessly .

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Father Qian came back with a load of firewood, and hurriedly said, "Quick! Feng'er, go to the vegetable field and pull back all the Chinese cabbage and some leftover radishes! Eldest daughter-in-law!" , Tong’er hasn’t come back yet? Hurry up and go to the vegetable field! Also, hurry up and carry the pickle pot into the house later, don’t put it in the yard, and drive the chickens into the house at night, don’t let the chickens Sleeping in a chicken coop in the yard."

After putting down the firewood, Father Qian anxiously went to the pigsty, wondering where the pigs should hide.

He didn't cook pomegranate rice either, and dragged Qian Feng out with a load of baskets.Yang Shi and Ge Taohua were also panicking, hurried to work in a panic.

Qian Feng was baffled by everyone. Could it be that devils are about to enter the village? Where did devils come from in this era?

Shiliu urged: "Run quickly, when the beggars come, they will wipe everything away!"

"The Gang of Beggars?" Qian Feng laughed, "There really is a Gang of Beggars?"

You must know that he has been reading martial arts novels since he was ten years old. Although he doesn't like to watch TV dramas, he has watched martial arts dramas a lot.He thought that the beggar gang was all fabricated, but he didn't expect to meet the beggar gang here, "Pomegranate, are you talking about ordinary beggars, or the beggar gang?"

"Why are you stupider than me? Don't you remember that the gang of beggars came last year? They formed a gang and raised a broken flag. I heard that there was a leader who called the little beggars around. They Claiming to be from the beggar gang."

Qian Feng was surprised, "Did you see that they have dog-beating sticks?"

"Dog-beating sticks? I don't know about this. I only saw that each of them was holding a cane in their hands. They presumably were used to beat dogs. The rhubarb in Shao Yao's family was beaten to death by them, and there was a pot on the side of the road. After cooking and eating, Shaoyao cried several times."

When Qian Feng heard this, he felt something was wrong, how could this gang of beggars look like bandits!
At this time, Father Qian and Ge Taohua came out with baskets, and Father Qian urged: "Why are you still in the mood to talk here? Why don't you rush to the vegetable field? This is a winter vegetable. I can only eat pickles."

Pomegranate ran up with empty baskets, followed by Father Qian and Ge Taohua, and Qian Feng had no choice but to keep up, asking as he ran, "Father, do the beggars steal things and the government doesn't care?"

"If you want to control it, you can't control it. They came back the year before last, and it is estimated that there were three No. 40 people. Wherever they walked, there were not even roots and leaves left. Several pigs were stolen. When the government came in the afternoon of the second day, those people all ran away, and they didn’t know where to hide. The mountain is so big, there are only three No. 40 people, and there is no one to hide in. Can't find it."

Qian Feng understood that most of the villagers were honest and did not dare to confront others head-on, so this year when the Beggar Gang came again, everyone could only think about taking everything home.But there are hundreds of people in the village, and there are only 40, no. [-] members of this gang of broken beggars.

When Father Qian was chopping firewood on the mountain, he saw a group of people on the other side of the mountain who seemed to be climbing the mountain to Qianjia Village. He carried the firewood all the way home and shouted, "The Gang of Beggars is here! The Gang of Beggars is here!"

Now running to the vegetable field, he still yelled all the way, Ge Taohua and Pomegranate also yelled, and all the villagers went out to the vegetable field.Fortunately, those people don't touch rapeseed, because rapeseed is still seedlings and cannot be eaten, so they finally have a little conscience.

Qian Feng looked at the movement, and it was no different from the devils about to enter the village.The Chinese cabbage was just tied up the day before yesterday, and it hasn't started to grow inside yet, so I put it all away, not to mention it's small and it's not delicious.

People in the village collected Chinese cabbage and radishes frantically, took them home after two or three trips, and then moved all the things in the yard to the house.

Everyone has been busy for a while, and the beggar gang has already descended from the foot of the mountain to the back of Qianjia Village.

At this moment, Qian Tong ran home and said, "Here we come! We come! The beggar gang is here!"

Father Qian opened the door of the pigsty, "Tong'er, Feng'er, come here quickly, hug the pigs into the house, mother-in-law, fasten the courtyard door. Everyone hide in the house and close the door!"
