Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Chapter 105 Winter Plum Blossom Gets Married

On the day of La Mei's wedding, no one from Zheng Xiaoman's family went because of the previous quarrel between the two families.

But after all, they were from the same village, so they still gave their share of the money.

After that, Zheng Xiaoman never paid any attention to their family affairs again.

Even though she felt that Lamei's life was depressing, that was someone else's life and she had no right to participate.

But later Cuihua told her that Lamei had married into a wealthy family in the town.

As for what family they belonged to, La Mei Niang never said clearly.

But on the day of leaving, only a sedan chair came from the man's family, and even the man himself did not come.

La Mei didn't even shed a tear when she left the house. She just got into the sedan chair as if she had lost her soul.

Speaking of wintersweet, Cuihua still felt a little uncomfortable.

She has always had a good relationship with Lamei. Seeing her like this, I really feel sorry for her.

Now she can only hope that La Mei’s life will be better after she gets married.

But Zheng Xiaoman was not as optimistic as she was. She knew there was something wrong with this marriage as soon as she heard about it.

When a family gets married, they will play some music and sing, and they want everyone to know that they are getting married today.

This woman was carried away in a sedan chair. I guess she was going to be a second wife or a concubine.

She didn't plan to tell Cuihua about this. It was better not to let this simple girl know about this kind of thing.

In the following days, Zheng Xiaoman started making peanut candy and mung bean cakes at home, and every day the yard was filled with the sweet smell of cakes.

She also made some candied peanuts with peanuts, coating the peanuts with egg liquid and flour, and adding a little sugar.

Fry the peanuts in a pan and they will be sweet and delicious.

Cuihua and the others all liked to eat it, so Zheng Xiaoman taught them how to make it.

These sugar-crusted peanuts must be fried and eaten immediately. If they are left for two days, the outer layer will no longer be crispy.

She just made some for her own consumption and had no intention of selling it.

By the end of the year, the big market that used to be held every fifteen days became once every three days.

The food made by Zheng Xiaoman sells out almost every time he goes to the market.

At the end of the year, when adults have some spare money, they would think about buying some food for their children.

Their pastries are still two cents a piece, and you can buy five pieces for ten cents to take home and save for your children to eat during the New Year.

Seeing that the family had new income, Zhou Chunfeng was in a very good mood every day.

At the end of the year, the village would also distribute fish. Cuihua came to her early in the morning and called her, "Xiaoman, the fish pond is being released to catch fish today. Do you want to go and watch?"

Of course Zheng Xiaoman had to go. She had never seen such a lively event before.

"I'll go, I'll go. Wait for me while I put on my hat."

Zheng Xiaoman hurried back to the house, put on his hat, scarf and gloves, and then happily went to the fish pond holding Cuihua's hand.

When the two men ran to the fish pond, there were already a lot of people surrounding it in three circles inside and three circles outside.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Lijuan and others waving at them.

Five girls gathered together, chattering.

Zheng Xiaoman watched with curiosity as the men in the village used a water truck to pump water out of the fish pond. As the water level became less and less, she could see fish jumping out of the water.

Every time a fish jumps out, it causes a burst of exclamations from people on the shore.

However, we cannot drain all the water from the fish pond; some of it must be left.

There are still many small fish in the water. These small fish cannot be caught and must be kept for them to grow up next year.

When the water was almost drained, some people started taking off their shoes and going into the water.

Women can't do this kind of job. Although the water is not frozen, it is still very cold.

Therefore, those who go to the pond to catch fish every year must be strong men.

In the past few years, her father was the one who went fishing, but this year his leg was broken, so he could only stand on the shore and watch.

Her brother also took off his shoes and was going to go fishing with her.

Zheng Xiaoman felt distressed when he saw his brother walking barefoot in the water in such a cold weather.

But everyone was doing this, even Yang Shuhuai had rolled up his trouser legs and was ready to go into the water, so she couldn't ask her brother not to go in.

She could only advise: "Brother, be careful when you go into the water later. Don't fall. If you fall into the water today, you will get sick from the cold."

Zheng Qingming smiled and nodded, “Well, brother, I understand. I will be careful.”

Yang Shuhuai felt a little jealous watching from the side. He glanced around without even looking at his brother. Haha, forget it.

Seeing Yang Shuhuai looking at her, Zheng Xiaoman was a little confused. She said tentatively: "Brother Shuhuai, you should be more careful later."

For the first time, Yang Shuhuai showed a big smile on his face. He nodded to Zheng Xiaoman and said, "Okay, I will."

It was the first time that Zheng Xiaoman saw him smile like this. His handsome face made her feel happy.

She sighed in her heart, this man is only thirteen years old, but he is so charming.

What color will it be when he grows up after he turns 20?

Zheng Xiaoman quickly collected his thoughts and began to watch everyone go into the water to catch fish seriously.

There are two fish ponds in their village, both of similar size.

Just start one today and continue with the rest tomorrow.

More and more people went into the fish pond, and the fish in the water were frightened and started to flutter and tumble in the water.

Cuihua excitedly pulled Zheng Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, look, there are so many fish."

Zheng Xiaoman nodded, his eyes always following his brother.

At this time, the fish pond was already crowded with people, and it was estimated that everyone in the village had gathered here.

There were many little kids running around the pond, and the adults were shouting angrily, "Don't run to the edge of the pond. If you fall in again, I won't get you out."

There were sounds of laughter and shouting mixed together, it was really lively.

Zheng Xiaoman saw that his brother was shivering from the cold and wished he could pull him out right away.

Lijuan saw that she was worried, and smiled and comforted her: "It won't be cold when you catch the fish later, don't worry."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled at her and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Goudan and the others also saw Zheng Xiaoman and ran towards them.

Goudan said to Zheng Xiaoman with a smile: "Sister Xiaoman, you are here too."

Damao also came close to her sister, "Sister."

Cuihua saw that her brother's head was sweating, so she quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it.

"Look at you, you're sweating all over from running. You'll catch a cold if the wind blows. Can't you learn from Lixia and Shuxing? Look, they just stand there obediently and don't run around."

Zheng Xiaoman turned around and looked at her brother. He and Yang Shuxing were standing not far behind her.

Seeing her sister looking back, Lixia waved to her.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at his younger brother. Although he was young, he already had a calm and composed demeanor.

He and Yang Shuxing look different from the little kids like Goudan.

No wonder Goudan usually likes to play with Damao, and Lixia always plays with Shuxing.
