Zhang Mingfeng and Yang Wanli continued to chat.
Yu Xiangnian glanced at the time. He would get off work in more than ten minutes, and it was almost time to leave.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhang Mingfeng say: "It's almost time to get off work. We won't disturb you. We'll visit you next time."
Yang Wanli glanced at the watch on his wrist, stood up and said, "Old Zhang, we haven't gotten together for a long time. Let's have a meal together today."
"Comrade Yu, let's have a meal together." Yang Wanli looked at Yu Xiangnian and said.
"No, no, you eat." Yu Xiangnian waved his hand, "I still have children at home waiting for me to go back and cook."
"Bring some back to the child." Yang Wanli said, "Look, if you go back and do it now, it will take about the same time as when you take it back after eating."
This Yang Wanli was so enthusiastic that Yu Xiangnian had a headache, "Director Yang, you are too polite. I really don't need it. I have to rush home."
Yang Wanli said even more enthusiastically, "If it weren't for you, Lao Zhang and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to chat and get together. Comrade Yu, how about asking you to accompany me?"
Seeing how enthusiastic Yang Wanli was, Zhang Mingfeng couldn't refuse. He turned to Xiang Nian and said, "Comrade Xiao Xiao, let's have a meal together and bring some for the children."
Yu Xiangnian: "..."
Zhang Mingfeng said so, and she had just asked for help. If she refused too firmly, it would be too disrespectful.
Yu Xiangnian said coquettishly, "Thank you, Director Yang."
The city is not big, and there is a state-owned hotel just a few hundred meters away.
Yu Xiangnian pushed his bicycle and walked with Yang Wanli and Zhang Mingfeng to the state-owned hotel.
Yang Wanli ordered four dishes and one soup, and the three of them sat down to eat.
Yu Xiangnian was not very familiar with these two people, so this meal was really embarrassing.
The two of them chatted about each other while Yu Xiangnian ate in silence, just wanting to finish eating and go home quickly.
Yang Wanli suddenly asked: "From the accent, Comrade Yu is a local. I see that the remittance address is quite far away. Are you sending money to relatives?"
Yu Xiangnian said honestly: "I sent it to my husband's hometown."
"Oh..." Yang Wanli raised his eyes on the bridge of his nose, "Seeing that Comrade Yu is so young, I didn't expect that he was already married."
Yu Xiangnian replied: "Yes, it's done."
Zhang Mingfeng picked up and said, "Even though you are younger than a gay man, he is someone who has drank foreign ink. Our newspaper's manuscripts are translated quickly and accurately every time."
"Comrade Yu knows foreign languages?!" Yang Wanli said in surprise, looking at Yu Xiangnian with meaningful admiration, "Comrade Yu is really talented and beautiful!"
Yu Xiangnian only felt embarrassed. She smiled and replied perfunctorily, "I understand a little bit."
Zhang Mingfeng added: "Our husband who is younger than Comrade is also a talented person. I heard that he is already the deputy leader at such a young age!"
Yang Wanli nodded and said, "That's really a good match."
Yu Xiangnian no longer knew how to answer the question, so he smiled with a smile on his face and just wanted to end the meal quickly.
The meal finally ended with the compliments and praises of the two people. Yu Xiangnian had never had such a tiring meal.
She brought two meat buns to Xiaojie.
It's not easy for her to bring too much when someone else is treating them.
Before parting, Yang Wanli shook hands with Yu Xiangnian again, "Comrade Yu, if you need any help in the future, just ask. You know my office."
Yu Xiangnian smiled politely and said, "Thank you, Director Yang. Goodbye."
When I got home, there were two more chicks in the yard.
Only about ten centimeters tall, with tender yellow fur, it huddled in the corner of the yard and screamed "chichijijiji".
She had long planned to raise two hens, but some time ago, Xiaojie was hospitalized and she had a fight with Cheng Jingmo and was planning to divorce, so she was delayed.
It was not until the day before the Lantern Festival that I told my sister-in-law Liu Zhen and asked her to help buy two hens.
No matter what Cheng Jingmo's situation is, she must live a strong life.
Xiaojie looks at her every day. She has to build Xiaojie's confidence in life.
Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie squatted on the ground, each holding a chick in their hands, studying how to tell that it belonged to a hen.
Xiaojie took a look at the hair on the front of the chick's butt and asked, "It doesn't even have chicks, how can you tell it's a hen?"
Yu Xiangnian immediately laughed, "The little jijiji of the little penis..."
After laughing for a moment, I felt that saying this in front of children would be disrespectful.
She turned serious in an instant, "I think it's because of its comb. The smaller comb is the hen."
Xiaojie added: "Look, their combs haven't grown yet."
Yu Xiangnian looked at Xiaoji and was lost in thought. After a while, she said, "Don't you think the two of us are putting the cart before the horse here?"
Xiaojie: "?"
Yu Xiangnian said: "What your Aunt Liu Zhen bought for us must be hens. But what we have to consider now is, what will the chicks eat and where will they sleep tonight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhen came.
"I knew you didn't know how to raise chickens!" Liu Zhen walked up to the two of them and said, "It's still cold during this period, so we put the chickens in cartons at night and take them out when the sun comes out in the morning. Do you have anything to eat? Did you see it? without?"
Liu Zhen pointed to a snakeskin bag in the corner of the room, "I bought some rice bran and cornmeal and mixed them together to feed them. By the way! If you have anti-inflammatory drugs at home, grind them into powder and mix them in to prevent the chickens from getting sick."
Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie nodded like crazy. This knowledge was spread so quickly!
Liu Zhen said: "I asked Lao Xiao to make a bamboo basket and put some straw in the bamboo basket to make a chicken coop. After a month, when the chickens are bigger, they can be raised in the chicken coop. At that time, the chickens can eat anything. , vegetable leaves, insects, and leftovers can all be eaten.”
Liu Zhen couldn't stop talking, "In four or five months, this chicken will be able to lay eggs. After raising it for about a year, it can be killed. If you raise it for a long time, the chicken will taste old!"
Yu Xiangnian expressed his heartfelt thanks and kept saying thank you.
She really doesn’t know anything about raising chickens!
Her neighbor not only helped her buy the chicken, but also helped her plan the chicken's life.
"Thank you! You're a neighbor!" Liu Zhen said, "That's all we can help. If you have any questions, just ask!"
Liu Zhen said so, Yu Xiangnian said shamelessly, "Sister-in-law Liu Zhen, what do you think of their male and female?"
"Huh?!" Liu Zhen was stunned for a long time, and then laughed "hahaha".
"Comrade Yu! You have so many jokes!" Liu Zhen said while laughing, "You said that you were frightened by the cabbage caterpillar and fainted, and then you asked me how I saw the male and female of the chicks, hahaha ···”
Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie both looked at her with thirsty eyes.
"So, what do you think of them as male and female?" Yu Xiangnian asked again.
This really stopped Liu Zhen from asking. She opened her mouth several times, "This... this..."
"What should I say? Anyway, I can tell who they are male and female at a glance!"
have to! Asking is like asking in vain!
Starting today, Xiaojie has unlocked a new skill: raising chickens.
Yu Xiangnian handed over the arduous task of raising chickens to Xiaojie.
Yu Xiangnian patted Xiaojie on the shoulder and said firmly, "Classmate Fang Junjie, whether you can eat eggs and drink chicken soup depends on you!"
Xiaojie suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier, and he nodded heavily.
There’s a long way to go!
