Geng Feng drank corn porridge and thought about Qin Nian's vegetable shed and picking shed, which were burned down by the fire and only broken tiles and ruins were left.
It is easy in spring, as you can continue to plant vegetables and strawberries, but after summer, the shed must be repaired in early autumn, otherwise it will delay sowing.
If the strawberries in the shed cannot mature before the New Year, it will greatly affect sales.
Repairing the shed requires a lot of wood. He has some free time now, so he can cut down trees and start preparing now, so as to avoid having to hire someone to do it later.
Otherwise you have to spend money to buy it. It’s not easy to make money, so save as much as you can.
In Geng Feng's heart, he was still thinking about Qin Nian.
After washing the bowl, Geng Feng walked out of the cave with a saw, selected a tree of suitable thickness on the mountain, and started sawing.
After sawing down a few trees, they were dragged to the entrance of the cave, and their stumps and roots were removed, and placed at the entrance of the cave to dry.
I planned to take it home after it was dried and keep it for later use in early autumn, and have Geng Tian and Geng Di push it over in a large cart.
After the tree stumps and roots were dried, they were used to build a fire in the cave. Every night, Geng Feng would light a fire in the cave, very close to where he slept.
The cave is high, and there are gaps on the wooden door, so the smoke can escape without choking people. The night of the first month of the lunar year is very cold, and the fire cannot be extinguished all night, so a lot of firewood is needed.
I woke up in the middle of the night, added some firewood to the dying fire, turned over and went back to sleep.
He worked for three days and sawed more than twenty trees, but he only had two bowls of cornmeal porridge a day, and Geng Feng felt hungry.
On the next day, he started hunting. After spending most of the day, he hunted a hare.
The rabbit was skinned, taken to the Mimosa Spring, washed, and then brought back to the cave and roasted over a fire. When it was half cooked, it was spread with a layer of soybean paste.
I thought about the time when I ate wild goose with Qin Nian. It was also spread with a layer of soybean paste when it was half-cooked. We both enjoyed it so much at that time.
Geng Feng sighed and hated Tang Xiaomei even more. She was like a pile of shit that was difficult to clean up once he stepped on it.
Sawing trees is physically demanding work and very tiring. Geng Feng hadn’t eaten enough for three days, so he ate the entire rabbit.
The snow-white rabbit skin was hung in the cave to dry, reserved for Qin Nian to make a scarf.
Tang Xiaomei from Dawa Village at the foot of the mountain was like an ant on hot fire, so anxious that she kept turning around in circles and pacing back and forth in and out of the house.
Geng Feng hadn't come back for a few days. Did he go to Qin Nian's place again? His parents were back, so why was he still there? No, if Geng Feng didn't come back, she would have to go to Qin Nian's place to take a look.
She belongs to Geng Feng, and she will be wherever Geng Feng is. If Qin Nian chases her away, she will ask Qin Nian, what right do you have to chase someone away?
However, this further confirmed what her mother said, that Geng Feng and his people would never give up a hundred acres of land and so much silver.
Everything the Geng family's three members did was for their own family to see.
No, she couldn't panic. She had to stay calm, as steady as a thousand-year-old rock.
Tang Xiaomei acted as if she was sitting on the Diaoyutai again. Every day, she would eat whatever Ye Meizi cooked. If Ye Meizi didn't cook, they would starve together.
She firmly believed that she was young and could survive Ye Meizi.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Geng Feng came down the mountain and went to the county to collect relief grain.
There is news that relief food will no longer be distributed in the fall.
After receiving the relief food, he slowly walked towards where Qin Nian lived.
He could see it from a distance. He stood and watched for a long time before turning around and leaving sadly.
When she got home, Tang Xiaomei hurried forward with a flattering smile on her face and a clear voice: "Cousin——"
She tried to take the backpack from Geng Feng's back.
Geng Feng dodged and shouted angrily: "Get out of here! Don't you see your own character? You are not even worthy of carrying Xiao Nian's shoes."
Ye Meizi came over, reached out to take Geng Feng's backpack, and did not stop Geng Feng from scolding Tang Xiaomei.
The mother and daughter plotted against Geng Feng, and now they are being despised and scolded. It is all their own fault, and they deserve it.
Geng Feng turned around and went back to his room. He planned to go up the mountain after lunch. He didn't want to see Tang Xiaomei.
Didn't she stay in his house? When he left, he even thought about joining the army at the border.
Geng Tian arrived, also carrying a large backpack containing ten kilograms of meat, ten kilograms of rice, and some dumplings.
Geng Feng asked hurriedly: "Brother, are you all okay?"
Geng Tian knew that he wanted to ask Qin Nian, and his heart ached. He patted Geng Feng's shoulder heavily: "Don't worry, we are all fine."
After a pause, he quickly added: "Business is also very good, you don't have to worry about it."
Tang Xiaomei's face turned red with anger.
Geng Tian said: "Second Aunt, Xiao Nian said that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, you should make dumplings and cook Yuanxiao.
Live a happier life. If Tang Xiaomei doesn't feel ashamed, she will join in and eat a few bites.
I can’t let her make me angry all day and make my life even more miserable.”
Tang Xiaomei's face turned even redder:
"Cousin, go back and tell Qin Nian to just take care of herself. She doesn't need to say too much about my affairs."
Geng Tian also looked down on Tang Xiaomei:
"Xiao Nian asked me to pass on a message to Second Aunt, not to you. Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Tang Xiaomei sneered: "Cousin, your family works for Qin Nian because of Geng Feng.
Now that Geng Feng has left, why aren't you leaving yet?
Will you starve to death if you leave Qin Nian? No one in the family has ambition.
Especially you and Gengdi, you are so young, living on an unrelated girl, don't you feel ashamed?"
Geng Tian was so angry that he laughed: "Xiao Mei, you said that no one in our family has ambition?
So your family is ambitious? Then how could you do such a thing?
If you don't tell me that you harmed Geng Feng, are you living a happy life?"
"Well, we work for Xiao Nian and earn wages through labor.
Unlike you and your mother, who did such a thing. You have a home now and can't go back, right?
You are really spineless if you eat other people's food."
After Geng Tian finished speaking, he looked at Ye Meizi and said, "Second Aunt, I have sent the things back and delivered the message. I have to go back.
There are quite a few customers in the restaurant today, so there is a lot of work to do."
Ye Meizi nodded: "Go back and tell Xiao Nian that if you can't handle it, just hire two more people.
Life is long, money is endless, health is the most important thing. Also tell your mother and Aunt Li to take better care of Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian is too young. "
Geng Feng followed behind and said, "Brother, the stew restaurant is missing three people, so Xiao Nian will have to work harder.
Especially after something like this happened, Xiao Nian felt miserable, but she was stubborn and refused to speak out.
Big brother, please take care of Xiao Nian."
"Geng Feng, don't worry, my mother and Cuizhi are all taking good care of Xiaonian."
Geng Feng nodded, and followed him for a long distance before he had to stop. He stood there looking at Geng Tian's back until he could no longer see him.
Geng Tian walked quickly and returned to the stew restaurant. He saw that there were already seven tables of guests, and three tables had finished their meal and left.
Geng Tian told Qin Nian what Ye Meizi had told him, and Qin Nian nodded.
