Chapter 60 -60 Singing Mountain Song_1
The sister-in-law’s bold meat-grabbing behavior was obviously disdained by Wenxuan’s mother, but their main focus was still on Nan Feng’s topic.
Wenxuan’s mother: “Can you use anything made by that girl, Nan Feng?
She used to be so silly, chasing after our Wenxuan all day.”
The sister-in-law said: “She no longer chases after Wenxuan now, but is instead following Ye Ge to go hunting in the mountains.
I heard they often hunt together and earn two tael for selling one wild boar.
At such a young age, she’s almost making as much money as our family.”
Wenxuan’s mother scorned: “You can’t really say it like that, can hunting be done every day?
It’s good enough if they could do it a few times a month.
All the hunters in the village have agreements, they can’t hunt more than ten days in a month, otherwise there would be no wildlife left in the mountains.
Besides, the hunting ban is approaching, how will she make money then?”
Before she knew it, the sister-in-law had poked another chunk of meat, and there was hardly any left in the dish at this point.
Meanwhile, she spoke while eating: “Firstly, whether the hunting ban comes or not, it’s quite capable of a girl to earn money to support her family.
Besides, she can also farm, in this day and age, just having enough to eat is already a considerable achievement.”
Wenxuan’s mother said: “Girls have to get married eventually.
It’s good enough if they can do embroidery.
Hanging out with a wild man all day, what’s the use of making money, when they’re being gossiped about every day?”
“Embroidery is for the well-bred ladies of the city, which girl from the village doesn’t have to struggle to make a living after marrying out?” sister-in-law said.
Seeing that the two sisters-in-law were about to start arguing, Wenxuan’s father had to clap his chopsticks: “Alright, alright, you two should hold your tongues.
We in the village are aware of the issue regarding the fertiliser.
If the effects turn out to be good, we will ask Nan Feng to teach everybody.
After all, the goal of our Da Ping village is to achieve prosperity together…”
…
However, Nan Feng’s victory in the village did not last long, because after the beginning of autumn, the villagers began to discuss another matter——
That was a time of transition between two rice seasons, just after spring plowing, but before autumn plowing begins.
Since it wasn’t the busy farming season, the annual town celebration of QingShui town began.
QingShui Town consisted of five villages, Da Ping Village, Da Gang Village, Da Lian Village, Da Fa Village, Da Ji Village.
Each year during the town celebration, they would all hold a singing competition for the women and a tug-of-war competition for men.
Even in such turbulent times under the current government, they didn’t forget to hold this event, because after all, there was not much entertainment for the local villagers, so they relied on this town celebration for some festivity.
One morning, Nan Feng was in the courtyard observing her potatoes when she heard a voice in the courtyard calling her: “Nan Feng, is Nan Feng there?”
The voice was neither cold nor warm, and somewhat familiar.
Nan Feng lifted her head and saw Aqiu, the daughter of Aunt Lan.
“Aqiu?” Nan Feng dusted off her hands and walked towards the courtyard gate: “What brings you here?”
This was the first time Aqiu had come looking for Nan Feng, and she seemed reluctant.
Aqiu lifted her head in a condescending manner and asked: “What are you busy with?”
“Watering the potatoes,” Nan Feng looked at Aqiu.
Having been an undercover agent, she was skilled at reading people’s expressions.
She knew Aqiu must have something to say and asked: “Is it about the town celebration?
You’re short of people for the singing competition, aren’t you?”
With her head still held high Aqiu replied: “Yes, we are short of one person.
If you are free, you could fill in.
Didn’t you always want to join in previous years?”
“Are you really short of people?” Nan Feng laughed: “But I can’t sing mountain songs.”
“What, you’re not putting on airs, are you?
In the old days, you were always begging to join us, but there were many unmarried girls in the village back then, so it wasn’t your turn.
Now that we need you, are you going to be difficult?” Aqiu said, squinting her large eyes.
