Chapter 40: Lu Lan's Rise

Feng Mian said, "Don't go back at noon, just eat here. I've saved some delicious food for you, including the crab meat you like."

"good."

Feng Mian invited Lu Lan and her family of three to come over for lunch at noon, as there was a lot of food left over from yesterday.

In rural areas, it is impossible to throw away leftover food from a banquet, and there is no particular tradition about it. They just reheat it over and over again until it is all eaten.

In fact, the food on the table yesterday was almost all eaten, and the food we had for lunch today was the food that Fengmian had left aside yesterday.

In order to entertain Feng Xiaojing, she specially got a king crab.

Of course, in order to prevent them from noticing, the crab shell was removed and only the meat was left.

While eating the large plate of white meat, Lu Lan asked curiously, "What kind of meat is this? This is my first time eating it."

Feng Mian said: "It's crab meat."

"Crab?" Feng Feng exclaimed, "This crab is edible? Not to mention it tastes pretty good."

Lu Lan said, "Next time you catch crabs, don't take them to the village to feed the ducks. Let's catch them and eat them ourselves."

"become."

Feng Xiaojing took a few bites and whispered, "Mianmian is a good cook. I went to the river a few days ago and caught a crab and cooked it. It was so fishy."

Feng Mian smiled and said nothing.

Gu Yuelin looked at her thoughtfully.

When does she go crabbing? How come he doesn't know?

In the afternoon, Feng Mian and Gu Yuelin packed up their things at home. They also had to take out the farm tools and sharpen them.

It will start tomorrow.

In preparation for spring ploughing, the compacted soil must be dug out in advance.

Gu Yuelin took a hoe and went to Fengmian's one-acre private plot of land. He had to dig out his own one-acre plot of land this afternoon.

When the village returns to grow crops, they will also have to plant crops in their own private plots.

Feng Mian took a hoe and dug up the soil on both sides of the yard. It would be a good idea to plant some peppers, garlic sprouts, and green onions.

Don’t ask me why I don’t plant flowers and plants in the yard? If you have land and don't grow crops but instead grow flowers and plants, you are different and the villagers will treat you as a monster.

Let me put it this way, even if you have a broken jar at home that you can’t use, you should still scoop up some soil in it and plant a few garlic heads.

At about mid-afternoon, Feng Rongrong from next door came running back crying.

Feng Mian put down the work in his hands and stood in the yard looking at the next door.

Feng Feng and Lu Lan came out of the house.

Lu Lan took off her apron, bent down and asked her, "Rongrong, what happened? Who bullied you?"

Feng Rongrong said: "My second brother wanted some candy from me, but I refused to give it to him, so he told grandma. Grandma hit me with a stick and told me to give him all the candy."

This was something Lu Lan had expected. She snorted and looked at Feng Feng and asked, "What do you say?"

Feng Feng was stuck. Under Lu Lan's questioning, he stammered and asked Feng Rongrong: "How many candies do you have?"

Feng Rongrong shook her head. She didn't want to tell him how much she had.

Feng Feng said: "Why don't we give a piece to our second brother."

Feng Rongrong still shook her head, "No, my second brother never gives me any candy he eats."

Lu Lan, who was standing next to him, pinched his arm angrily. "Have you forgotten that when you were young, your mother bought half a pound of candy and distributed it to your nephews in front of Rongrong. Rongrong wanted to have a piece, but she refused and even called Rongrong a money-loser. If you have a bit of backbone, can you stay away from that family?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the voices of Grandma Lu Lan and Old Lady Qian.

"What are you talking about, you jinx? You dare to instigate him to stay away from his brothers and instigate their separation? I'll beat you to death."

She came up and started to pull Lu Lan's hair.

Lu Lan was also determined to be with her for the sake of her daughter.
