When the old lady saw that all the women in the house were anxious, she smiled and said," don' t worry, everyone. The ones who sent the eggs earlier must have some." However, we all know that a few days ago, we picked out a lot of eggs, last night and this morning and threw away some leftover chickens, our family calculated that a hundred eggs, the last out of ninety chickens.
Everyone also calculated their respective numbers and sent a hundred kinds of eggs. In a moment, they would take away ninety chickens and forty-five of those who sent fifty kinds of eggs.
There are books in this house too, so there is no mistake. All of us were running for good days and selling two more baskets of eggs in the winter, so we could get rich in peace after a while. "
"Aunt, don' t worry. Everyone knows that they won' t fight. "
A village woman was so anxious that she rubbed her hands together and was the first to say yes.
Other people were sensible and smart, so they said," uncle and mother's family got up early to help them hatch chickens. We don' t have anything good to do as a thank you gift. We' re still feeling bad here. "
The lin family's elders and young masters had discussed this matter long ago. Although the chickens in the house were just a favor to the neighbors, if they were to keep asking for no return, they would be able to raise them without knowing what to do. Therefore, no matter how much they wanted, they had to make sure that everyone would repay them in return.
Hence, dong shi smiled. Well, in the winter, the chickens lay eggs, and a hen brings an egg. "
"Yes, it is! "
"Yes, it was meant to be. "
Everyone happily agreed. A chicken would lay at least 100 eggs a year and send one to the lin family. It was not worth mentioning. No one would be stingy.
Soon, the feng family and the others brought out the basket containing the little chicken. The same 90 baskets, can not see how many rooster and how many hens inside.
The women gathered their spirits, and some of them chose two baskets, one for each, and two for the other.
Some people are lucky, the basket is full of hens, some people are unlucky, the basket is half of the cock. So the shrewish woman shouted," who wants a rooster? I have more cocks here. Let's change some." "
"I'll change to ten. The hen lays the eggs. It's not a bad thing for the rooster to raise them. It just killed a plate of vegetables for chinese new year. "
"Give me five, too! "
For a moment, the door was filled with excitement.
The lin family had been raising chickens for a year and had accumulated some experience on their own. When the women had calmed down, they gave a few more instructions.
For example, the birds in the village had better be chased out, do not let the birds excrete near the chicken farm, because the birds fly around, the body is easy to carry bacteria, through the excreta spread, easy to cause a variety of diseases, even chicken distemper.
The women looked at the little chickens as if they were golden lumps, and naturally listened to them with great seriousness. Occasionally, they would raise their voices and ask questions that they did not understand.
Finally, the sun had reached the top of her head.
The women were content to take care of the little chicks in the basket and went home, leaving the lin family's old and young ladies with their tired mouths and dry mouths.
Jiao Jiao was as busy as a bee, cutting watermelons, digging wells and throwing cloth towels, taking care of grandma and aunts to wipe the sweat on their faces, and holding a sweet watermelon in their hands.
Mrs. Dong praised her granddaughter proudly." My Jiao Jiao is obedient and filial! "
Feng shi had always been afraid that her in-laws would spoil her daughter to the point of lawlessness. Every day, she would routinely hit her daughter with a few words, so she chewed on the watermelon in her hand and said," this girl will be able to do a good job. If she really does her best, she won' t be able to find anyone. When I was her age, I used to hunt pigs and grass, wash clothes and cook. I had to go to the fields to gather grass and cut the grain. "
"When you were young, your family had a tough time. We don' t say that we have maids and helpers now, but we don' t have maids. There are so many people in the family, so we don' t need Jiao Jiao to do any work. The little girl should be pampered, and she wouldn' t be so happy when she got married in the future. You're not being nice to Jiao Jiao right now. See where you go to buy the regret medicine in the future! "
The tong family's daughter-in-law was also a good fighter who had been trained since her granddaughter was born. After that, she pulled her granddaughter into her arms and cried out," grandma's good girl. I don' t know who I' ll marry in the future. I can' t bear to part with her." She might as well find a place in this village and stay in front of her grandmother every day. Otherwise, no matter how good her grandmother was, she would not be able to taste anything. "
Zhou xinxiu replied with a smile," mother is right. When Jiao Jiao is old, let's choose. If there is no suitable one, Jiao Jiao doesn't want to marry either. We will raise Jiao Jiao for the rest of our lives. She had twelve brothers, so no one could make her feel bad. "
"That's a good thing to say. It's not as good as home. "
As expected, the old lady's smile returned to her face. When she was about to say something else, the door suddenly became noisy.
"What's the matter? Could it be someone else who came to change the chicken? Isn't that all? "
Everyone was confused. When they stood up to check, they saw a few people suddenly walking in from outside the door. The two most prominent people were lin dahe and fang jie.
"Oh, the river is back! "
The old lady took the lead and ran out. Everyone was overjoyed.
"Dahe, how many months have you not returned? Brother yan, where's brother yi? But back together? "
"Third uncle, uncle fang, have you brought me something? "
"His third uncle, young master fang, have you eaten yet? "
Everyone surrounded fang jie and li dahe in the middle.
Lin dahe and fang jie had been dusty all the way. They were basking in the sun like salted fish. Their mouths were still dry, but they still smiled and responded.
This was why they had travelled all the way back, day and night.
Home, no matter how far you go, no matter how much money you earn, you always want to come back to a warm place.
"Well, let's talk inside. Old master lin shouted loudly and ordered," prepare the food. Young master fang has to go back to the city when he is full." "
"Yes, father, I'll go and cook first. "
The feng family was the first to respond, and they called for a few maids to go into the kitchen.
Jiao Jiao smiled and brought flowers and raindrops. He took care of fang jie and lin dahe to wash their faces and changed into a new set of clothes. They were very attentive and thoughtful.
Fang jie could not help but pat her bud head. He smiled and said," Jiao Jiao is really a lot more sensible. I have searched everywhere for a big box of good things for you. "
"Really? "Jiao Jiao was just waiting for this to happen. Her big eyes were curved with a smile, and her little teeth came out to report, revealing the fact that she had recently laid off two more teeth.
Sure enough, fang jie laughed even louder, causing Jiao Jiao to cover his mouth and stare at him with his eyes bigger than a cow.
When old master yao and zhou shanchang were invited over, they heard the laughter in the courtyard before entering the door.
