Since the birth of Tiantian and Chengcheng, the two children have always touched the warm heart.
As long as Warmth is at home, one ear will basically grow next to two children.
Of course, the same goes for Yang Rui. But Nuan Nuan had already gone into the house to take a look, and Yang Rui didn't go back.
After finishing the work, Yang Rui went to the warehouse to find a basket, put some Xuanruan straw in it, and picked up a basket of eggs. After covering it with a cloth, he and Qing Gen walked to his house. !
The rule in the village has always been to exchange two eggs for one hatching egg. Yang Rui had to take care of Yuezi some time ago, but he didn't have time to take care of Mr. Egg, so now he just exchanged a few more eggs with the Qinggen family for the hatched chicks. .
Even if it was his younger brother's house, Yang Rui would get a few more eggs and would not take advantage of others.
It is also because of this that people in the village basically do not think Yang Rui has a bad character, even if he does not work hard and is a bit of a loser.
However, not working and being prodigal would not harm his family's interests. In addition, Yang Rui was handsome and well-spoken, so the old people in the village especially liked him.
After Wen Nuan had fed Tiantian and Chengcheng respectively and coaxed them to sleep, Yang Rui came back with a basket of chicks and goslings.
Nuan Nuan went to the west room to take a look. Yang Rui opened the cloth on the basket to let Nuan Nuan see. There were five chicks in total, three were yellow, and two were more orange;
Three yellow goslings.
They all have little beady eyes, they are fluffy and very cute.
The number of chickens and geese that Yang Rui brought back was more than the number stipulated by the state for family breeding. If the number of chickens and geese was raised too much, it might be considered as cutting off the tail of capitalism.
But chicks and goslings may die in the process. Even if they don't die, they can eat meat when they grow up. In addition, Yangjiatun is located in a remote area, and there are usually few people to check, so Yang Rui caught a few more. Only.
Wen Nuan knelt down and carefully touched the chick with the index, middle and ring fingers of his left hand. It was fluffy, soft and warm.
Yang Rui looked at it funny: "Daughter-in-law, why don't you pick one up?"
Nuan Nuan shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, just touch it twice like this!"
Although Wen Nuan knew rationally that the chick's mouth must still be soft and it would not peck her, she still didn't want to pick it up. After all, it was a living creature and was very afraid of people.
"Daughter-in-law, are you watching here while I build a cage for the chicks?" Yang Rui asked.
After Nuan Nuan nodded in agreement, Yang Rui went to the warehouse to find tools to make a cage.
Nuan Nuan watched the chickens and goslings for a while, and then planned to go to the east room to see if the quilts of the two children were well covered.
Sure enough, even such a small child is very powerful. The quilt was pulled open a little, and the warmth was covered again before going to the west room again.
But I saw a thrilling scene. The half-grown puppy raised at home tried to pick up the cloth on the basket with his mouth, but he almost stretched out his paws to pat it.
Nuan Nuan quickly shouted: "Banban'er, come here, come here! Hey, hey, hey!"
(Like, ugh, ugh is an onomatopoeia for calling a dog. The latter is a sound made by touching the tip of the tongue to the root of the teeth, and then quickly rebounding and inhaling. This sound is suitable for big dogs, small dogs, domestic dogs, and strange dogs. All are very effective. If you want to call the dog over, you can also use the onomatopoeia of "whew" to get its attention.)
We haven't given the puppy a name yet, so we usually call it puppy, Bannier, or "Lulu".
When the puppy heard the mistress of the house calling him, he put down the cloth in his mouth and quickly ran to Nuannuan, wagging his tail and looking cute.
Wen Nuan is a little helpless. For such a big puppy, it doesn't understand what it means to not let it do such a thing!
I had to pat him on the head and said something that the puppy could not understand: "Don't touch the chickens and geese! If you bully them again, the geese may grow up and pinch you!"
The puppy really didn't understand. He didn't hear the reproachful tone from the mistress, so he kept circling around the mistress.
Nuan Nuan walked to the basket containing the chicks and geese, and saw that they seemed to be frightened and crowded into a pile.
Nuan Nuan placed a newspaper on the unoccupied kang in the west room, then lifted the basket and put it on it.
Yang Rui didn't put the kang just now because he thought the basket was dirty. Once the chicken cage is ready, he can put it in the chicken cage.
But Nuan Nuan looked at the situation. If he didn't put the chicks and goslings on the kang, they would be rattled by the family dog!
Nuannuan went out to find Yang Rui: "What do these little chickens and gooses eat?"
"Just soak the millet for a while and feed it to them. If you're in a hurry, just boil it a little and feed them corn flour and wheat bran with water in two days!"
Yang Rui didn't know how to feed Yang Rui before. Before the family was separated, he was not responsible for feeding chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. It was either Yang's mother, sister-in-law, or nieces. He didn't pay attention to these. Qing Genniang told him today.
Yang Rui directly omitted the second half of what Qinggen Niang said: If you are reluctant to feed millet, you can feed corn noodles...
Wen Nuan was also an inexperienced person, so he just followed Yang Rui's instructions and gave water to the chicks and geese, and then fed them food.
At this time, Mengyue, the daughter of Brother Yang's family, came: "Uncle!"
"Hey, girl Meng Yue is here? Have you eaten?" Yang Rui was making chicken cages in the yard, and when he heard Meng Yue calling him, he put down what he was doing.
He still likes the two children of his second brother's family.
Meng Yue smiled sweetly: "Not yet, today my dad took Shitou and I to pick a lot of elm money. Mom asked me to bring you and my aunt a basket to try!"
"Elm tree money, this thing is a good thing. It can be used as food in times of famine!" Yang Rui recalled his experience of climbing up and down to pick elm money during the three difficult years a few years ago.
"Girl Mengyue, can you stay at my uncle's house for dinner? My uncle will give you some money for beating elm trees!"
Meng Yue shook her head quickly: "No, uncle, my mother is waiting for me to eat at home! I have to go back, otherwise she should be anxious!"
Yang Rui originally wanted to tell Mengyue to wait and go to the house to get her a candy, but he saw her running away quickly.
Yang Rui: ...There’s no need to be so anxious, right? !
While Nuan Nuan was feeding the chickens and goslings in the house, she also heard the exchange between the uncle and nephew, which was quite interesting!
When he came out after feeding, he saw that Yang Rui was still making chicken cages, so he said, "Shall I make dinner tonight? I use local materials. I think this elm tree is very tender. How about making some elm cake?"
"Okay, I just want to eat this too. I just wanted to save Mengyue for a meal!" Yang Rui said: "You can eat this stuff raw, it's not too sweet!"
Wen Nuan didn't want to eat raw food, so he took the basket of elm money and washed it.
Then add hot water to the corn noodles, then put the washed elm leaves into the reconciled corn noodles, and mix them evenly.
Then shape it into a steamed bun shape with a hole at the bottom, and then steam it in a pot.
I took some time to mix a plate of pickles with the fresh chili oil I made yesterday, and made a seaweed and egg soup.
After the warm rice was ready, Yang Rui's chicken cage was also ready, with a barrier in the middle to put the chicks on one side and the goslings on the other to prevent the two species from stacking together.
Nuan Nuan: "Wash your hands and eat!"
Yang Rui: "Here we come!"
The couple sat cross-legged on the Kang and ate the authentic farm food.
