Chapter 23: Quarrels at the dinner table

Yes, it is natural for Qiao Jiarong to be filial to his grandparents. Even if she goes out, she is still the granddaughter of her grandparents.

Who made her Qiao Jiarong the daughter of the third uncle and third aunt! The third uncle and the third aunt didn't go out.

Qiao Meili felt that she had found a way to deal with Qiao Jiarong, and she was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice at once.

Now, the rest of the Qiao family has an opinion.

After all, the Qiao family's cooking is all rationed. Little girls like Qiao Meili and Chen Jie can only eat a small bowl each, and the height of the rice cannot exceed the edge of the bowl.

Now that Qiao Meili has eaten so many meals at once, the rest of the Qiao family will naturally have to eat less. Qiao Meili is snatching food from their mouths, can the others be willing?

Of course, the adults of the Qiao family didn't say anything. After all, it's just a small bowl of rice, and each adult can save it by eating one less bite. You don't need to go online with your children, just let the beauty pay attention to it in the future.

But Qiao Miao and the boys who are half the age of the others can't help it, and Qiao Meili is not their own sister, so naturally they don't have to endure it.

Qiao Miao first finished the food in the bowl, and then said to Qiao Meimei: "Meili, you eat so much at once, what do you want our brothers to eat?" ”

"Second brother, I'm sorry, I ate too much today." Qiao Meili also knew that she was unreasonable, and after Qiao Miao finished speaking, she immediately got up and apologized.

"Accidentally? Then everyone also accidentally ate more, so that grandpa and uncle, and a few uncles what they ate. Qiao Miao looked at Qiao Meili with unkind eyes and said.

"It's just that I can't get enough to eat. Now that you've eaten a big bowl, what are we boys eating?

If everyone accidentally eats more, then what do grandparents and uncles eat. Others followed.

Several adults of the Qiao family didn't speak, and they had to hurry up and finish eating and go to the ground.

How could they have time to fight with a few children for this bowl of rice, and they went to add another bowl after eating the rice in the bowl a few times.

Because there was little food today, they didn't eat as much as they used to, and each of them served half a bowl less, saving some food for the boys.

When the boys saw that there was food to eat, they didn't continue to argue.

But there were also people who looked at the girls next to them while eating, for fear that they would not be able to eat too much.

Qiao's family now has no support from Qiao's money, so naturally they don't have money to buy rice.

No longer daring to eat as big as before, Jiang Ermei looked at the money more closely. They also discussed waiting for the farming to be over, and let the Qiao Zezhi brothers go out to work!

I heard that the wages in the big cities outside are high, much higher than the wages of Qiao Tieniu. Save a little a month to save one or two hundred yuan! You can have 1,000 yuan a year, or it won't be long before you can become a 10,000 yuan household.

If you're lucky, and you become a little boss, the salary will be even higher.

Jiang Ermei heard that she could be a 10,000 yuan household, and she was no longer reluctant to let her son go out like before. That night, she went to the family that went out to work and gave gifts, and asked the family to take her sons out with them.

Of course, not all sons went out. She also left a son at home to take care of them, and she still hasn't decided who will stay.

Anyway, this matter will not be decided until after the farm is busy, so there is no rush now.

Qiao Jiarong, who has been busy learning to draw talismans, didn't know that Qiao Meili was beating her idea again, and she didn't know what had happened recently in Qiao's family.

Qiao Jiarong originally planned to help turn over the fields in front of the house and behind the house, but his grandfather Qiao Tieniu refused to let him.

felt that the child was too young to do these jobs, and said that he would come to turn over when he finished the work in the field, and let Qiao Jiarong help grow vegetables together when the time came.

Qiao Jiarong was afraid that her grandfather would be worried, so she agreed, she felt that it was better to listen to her grandfather in family affairs.

A grandfather is an elder and should have listened to her; The other is that Qiao Jiarong is afraid that his grandfather will have an accident because he is worried that she will turn over the ground at home.

After all, many of the farm tools used in the fields are very sharp, and one careless can bleed. In order not to worry his grandfather, Qiao Jiarong still decided to stay at home and do logistics.

In order to save time, Qiao Jiarong does a good job in the space every time. Then, when Grandpa came back soon, he took it and put it in the pot to warm it.

When the farm was over, Qiao Tieniu went to turn over the fields first. Wait until you finish picking up the stones, bricks, and grass roots in the ground, and turn them over again. And only then do you start growing vegetables.

When picking up grass roots and bricks, Qiao Jiarong also participated. The stones were too big, and Qiao Tieniu didn't let her move, only letting her pick up some grass roots and bricks.

The field was turned over, and Qiao Tieniu took Qiao Jiarong to plant vegetables together. At this time, some cabbage, leeks, and beans are basically planted in the countryside, and there are not many varieties and the amount is not large.

Qiao Tieniu's new homestead is very large, adding up to two acres of land. Except for some leeks and ginger, onion and garlic planted in front of the door, everything else was planted on the west side of the house and at the back of the house.

In the west, Qiao Tieniu planted all kinds of melons and beans, winter melons, pumpkins, cucumbers, cowpeas, edamame lentils, potatoes and so on. At the back of the house, some corn and sorghum were planted, both of which grew taller and were planted next to the house to keep out the wind.

Therefore, Qiao Tieniu planted these at the back of the house, which was relatively far away from the house.

Seeing that there was still space on the edge of the small ditch in front of the door, Qiao Tieniu went to find a few pepper seedlings and eggplant seedlings to plant. In this way, except for meat and soy products, other dishes are basically enough.

After planting vegetables, Qiao Tieniu went to buy two sheep to raise, planning to raise them until winter to eat meat.

Originally, Qiao Tieniu wanted to buy pigs. But the family didn't build a pigsty, so he had to raise sheep instead. If you are a sheep, you don't need to go to the pen, just give them a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Qiao Tieniu built a small tent in the southeast corner of the courtyard wall for the two sheep to live in, and dug a hole under the courtyard wall to clean up the sheep chuckle. That way, even if it rains, the smell won't come to your home.

After settling the two sheep, Qiao Tieniu wanted to buy chickens to raise. He thought it was okay to go up the mountain to catch pheasants all the time, and now he was not alone.

He was worried that his granddaughter who stayed at home would be in danger, and that someone would come and bully her. Therefore, he thinks it is better to raise a few chickens. In this way, the granddaughter can eat chicken whenever she wants.

But this was stopped by Qiao Jiarong, and the chickens in her space were about to overflow. Even if grandpa wants to raise them, he doesn't need to buy chicken seedlings.

So, she said to Qiao Tieniu: "Grandpa, you don't need to buy chickens."

Didn't I tell you before, how many chickens do I have in the valley? Now I'm moving to my grandfather's place, so I don't have to hide anymore, and I'm going to bring those chickens down from the mountains. ”

"You raised chickens in the mountains? Oh! I forgot about it. ”

Before, Qiao Tieniu was wary of Qiao Jiarong. She didn't take what she said to heart, and now she remembered how bold her little granddaughter was.

She was only five or six years old, and she dared to go up the mountain and raised chickens on the mountain.
