Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

After listening to what her son said, Zhou Chunfeng thought about it and realized that the food they had eaten these past two days was indeed quite good, but they couldn't eat like this anymore in the future.

"Thanks to your brother and sister for catching fish in the river these past two days, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious meals."

Zheng Lixia leaned on Zhou Chunfeng's arm and said, "Mom, when I grow up a little bit, I will go to the river to catch fish for you."

He is young now and his mother doesn't allow him to play in the river.

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and touched her son's head. "Okay, Mom will catch fish for me when you grow up."

Seeing her brother leaning on her mother, Chun Ya climbed onto the kang and leaned into Zheng Dashan's arms.

Zheng Dashan felt soft-hearted as he held his little girl in his arms. It seemed that life after the separation was not as difficult as he had imagined.

The family talked for a while, and Zhou Chunfeng and Zheng Xiaoman went to clean up the dishes.

By the time the two of them finished cleaning up, it was already dark outside.

The days are getting shorter day by day. It’s only about six o’clock and it’s already dark.

"Mom, should we buy an oil lamp too?"

Zhou Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look when I go to the county town next time. The days are short in winter, so it would be more convenient to have a lamp."

There was nothing to do when it got dark, so the family went back to the house early to sleep.

At night, Chun Ya slept with her, and Lixia went to sleep with her eldest brother.

The next morning, Zheng Xiaoman went to the backyard to feed the pigs as usual. Looking at the big white pigs eating delicious food, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

After feeding the pigs, I returned to the front yard and asked, "Mom, can we catch two more pigs?"

Zhou Chunfeng was squatting in the vegetable field weeding. She raised her head and asked, "My daughter, do you still want to raise pigs?"

"Yes, mother. If we raise two more pigs, we will have more income. I also want to raise some chickens and ducks. In the future, when they lay eggs, we can not only eat them at home, but also exchange them for money."

Zhou Chunfeng laughed, "Silly girl, do you think everyone doesn't know that raising pigs can make money? But there is no such thing as so much food to feed the pigs. There is not enough food for people to eat.

As for chickens and ducks, you can raise them in the spring. When they grow up, you can let them out to find insects to eat on their own.

Winter is coming soon, the wild vegetables and insects are gone, and there will be no chicken to eat."

"Mom, there is so much grass for pigs on this mountain. I will cut some more every day and store them. Besides, the crops in the fields will be harvested soon, so the corn stalks and wheat bran can be left to feed the pigs.

I can also take my younger brothers and sisters to the mountains to dig more wild vegetables, which we can eat and the chickens can eat as well.

We have little land at home. Just you and my brother, three acres of land is enough for you to work on. Don't even think about selling the crops for money.

If we don’t think of other ways out, when will we be able to save enough money to repair the house?”

Zheng Xiaoman squatted beside Zhou Chunfeng to help her pull weeds. "This year, our family has worked harder. Next year, our life will be much better."

Zhou Chunfeng felt tears welling up in her eyes when she saw her daughter, who was so young but had to worry about the family's livelihood, and she couldn't bear to refute her daughter.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. We still have some money at home. I'll go to the village tomorrow to ask who has a piglet.

As for the chicks, your grandma has them. I'll have someone tell your grandma to bring a few chicks to our house when they hatch."

Zheng Xiaoman happily hugged her mother's arm, "Mom, you are the best. And mom, do we have a net for catching fish and shrimp? When I was washing clothes, I saw a lot of small fish and shrimp in the river.

I can catch more for my family to eat, and if there is more, I can dry it and feed it to chickens and pigs."

"We don't have a net at home. We have a fish pond in our village, and we rarely go to the river to catch fish. But your father knows how to make a fishing net. I'll ask him to make one for you this afternoon."

"My father has this skill? How come I don't know about it?"

Zhou Chunfeng recalled the past with a smile on her face, "When your father was young, he was very skillful. He could learn something made by others just by watching it once.

Everything in our house, big and small, was made by him. You were too young to remember it at that time."

Thinking of her husband's current legs, Zhou Chunfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Zheng Xiaoman hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, my dad's leg can definitely be cured. When our family makes some money, we'll take dad to the city to see a doctor."

Zhou Chunfeng touched her daughter's face and said, "Yes, your father's leg can definitely be cured, and your face, your mother will definitely cure it too."

"Hey, Mom, I'm fine. I just can't bear to leave you and Dad, so I'll stay at home with you for the rest of your lives and take care of you in your old age."

Zhou Chunfeng felt sad and relieved. She reached out and hugged her daughter, "Okay, my daughter is filial. Let her take care of us in our old age."

Zheng Xiaoman achieved his goal, and happily got up to clean the house.

After Zhou Chunfeng cleared the grass on the field, she stood up and went to find some hemp ropes and bamboo strips.

She took the hemp rope into the house and repeated what her daughter had said to her husband.

Zheng Dashan felt bad too. If it weren't for his leg, his daughter wouldn't have to worry about supporting the family at such a young age.

He reached out and took the hemp rope and began to weave the net.

"Let my daughter raise pigs if she wants. It's fine as long as she's happy. My legs will be able to walk after a while, and I can help my daughter feed the pigs then."

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he recently felt that his broken leg had regained some sensation, and the broken part was always itchy.

But even if this leg is disabled, he can still stand up on one leg and do some housework.

Zhou Chunfeng responded, "Then I will go to the village to ask tomorrow."

When Zheng Qingming came back, Zheng Dashan asked him to go to the back mountain to cut some bamboo.

After he cuts down the bamboo, he will cut it into strips.

Zheng Dashan took the bamboo strips and moved his fingers up and down. By the evening, he had woven a shrimp basket.

This basket is used to catch small shrimps. The mesh of the fishing net is too big and the shrimps cannot be caught.

After dinner, Zheng Dashan handed the fishing net and shrimp basket to his daughter.

Zheng Xiaoman took it with surprise, "Wow, Dad, you made it so quickly. Your craftsmanship is amazing. This basket is so beautiful."

Zheng Dashan was praised by his daughter, and his smile deepened. "If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I'll make it for you."

"Yeah, if I had known that Dad was so powerful, I would have told you earlier. Dad, you really are a hidden talent."

"Hahaha, it's just some small handicrafts. Most people in the village can do it."

Zheng Xiaoman shook his head. "They are definitely not as good as my father. My father is the best."

"Haha, dad will make you a few better ones later."

"Hey, thank you, Dad."

Seeing her husband so happy, Zhou Chunfeng also had a smile on her face.

She is the eldest daughter, and she can make her father happy with just a few words.

Lixia moved closer to his sister and looked at her expectantly, "Sister, can you take me with you when you go fishing again?"

Zheng Xiaoman turned his head and looked at him. "Okay, but you have to listen to my instructions."
