"Dad, the chicken's feathers are so beautiful. Don't throw them away. I can use them." Seeing Niu Dadu preparing to throw the chicken feathers out, Niu Caohua quickly stopped him.
Chicken feathers have many uses, especially the beautiful ones, which are valuable for collection.
But now, Niu Caohua just wants to use it to make a shuttlecock.
There is almost no entertainment for the children here, and Niu Xiaodi has no playmates. He usually plays in the mud alone in the yard and entertains himself, which makes Niu Caohua very sad.
Shuttlecock is popular throughout primary and junior high schools and is the most common form of entertainment for children.
It’s perfect to be able to play and exercise at the same time.
Niu Dadu nodded, finished handling all the chickens, scooped out water, washed the feathers, and dried them.
He said not a word, but did all the things.
On the other side, all the mushrooms in the basket have been processed. The clean mushrooms are dripping with water and placed in a wooden basin, waiting for the fate of being eaten.
Xiao Cuier has long been attracted by the feathers on the big rooster. When she saw the cow belly throwing them away, her eyes clearly showed reluctance. When she heard her daughter say that she wanted to keep them, her eyes instantly lit up, and her face Shang also showed a smile, very vivid.
When they were almost done with their work, the sun began to set, and the colors became extremely bright, dyeing the surrounding clouds in colorful colors, which was very beautiful.
The villagers who were working in the fields also rushed home one after another. Looking at the white smoke rising from the chimneys of their homes, they couldn't help but smile on their faces, and their steps became much brisker.
"Dad, Mom, you are back~" When the children with runny noses playing in the village saw their relatives, they jumped into the arms of their relatives like jumping birds, and wiped the snot off their noses.
"Smell~ Milk, someone's stewed chicken, it smells so good." Niu Qianshan has a sharp nose. He smelled the faint fragrance in the air and couldn't help but swallowed. He couldn't help but feel envious in his heart.
They only eat meat once or twice a year and have almost forgotten what meat tastes like. Whose family is so rich that they stew meat at noon and chicken at night.
I’m so greedy!
"Did you smell it wrong? Why didn't I smell anything?" Niu Qianshan's daughter-in-law Qian also stretched her neck and smelled carefully, but she didn't smell anything. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband-in-law.
"Are you confused because you want to eat meat? This is not a New Year or a holiday, who would eat meat!"
After that, he carried his son into the main room.
"Mom and Dad, our family is here, what are we having for dinner?" Qian's voice was loud, but she didn't suppress her voice. Even the next door could clearly hear her voice.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. You are the reincarnation of a starving ghost. Why are you coming back so early? Have you finished the work in the fields?" Mother-in-law Bai Shi is also a shrewd person. Listening to her daughter-in-law's voice, she became angry. He cursed at the top of his lungs.
She was so busy at home every day that she had to take care of the children, do housework, and tend the vegetable garden at home. It was a good thing for these two lazy people. After eating, they would disappear as soon as the bowl was thrown away.
He said he was going to work in the fields, but it turned out that the grass in the fields grew deep and there was more rice than rice. The second aunt next door came over every day with a bowl in hand to watch the jokes.
I don’t know what kind of evil he did. The damn old man died early. He pissed and shitted his son all by himself. As a result, he developed into a lazy man who loves to eat and is lazy to do things.
It was not easy to marry him a wife, but God still didn't open his eyes. The daughter-in-law is also lazy. She doesn't get up until the sun is high every day. She can't cook, can't plant the land, and can't do any needlework. Even that idiot Murao can't compare.
But she liked her son, and her daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson. Bai could only hold her nose and admit it, but she still got angry when she looked at this lazy look.
"Milk~ I want to eat meat." Niu Baoer is already five years old. He speaks very eloquently and is also very naughty. He runs around with the children in the village all day long and never has a moment to relax.
He just heard his father talking about meat, and he smelled it carefully for a long time. It seemed that he really smelled meat, so he was greedy.
The food at home was cooked by grandma. Niu Baoer knew that it was useless to find a mother, so he slipped off her body, ran into the kitchen, hugged grandma's waist and acted coquettishly.
Although Mrs. Bai couldn't stand her son and daughter-in-law, she was so obedient to her only grandson that she would have to pluck the moon out of the sky.
"Oh, my dear baby wants to eat meat. I'll buy milk for you at the market in a few days. How about eating eggs today?" Bai's skinny hands touched her grandson's bare head, her eyes full of love. .
Bai still has a lot of savings. Although the old man left early, he still bought a lot of land. His parents-in-law are only the old man’s son. After they die, all the money in the family will be in his hands. Even these Her son failed to live up to expectations, but Bai was not worried about going hungry.
"Mom, you only care about your grandson, not your son. I haven't had any meat with your son for a long time, so why don't you cook me an egg today~" Niu Qianshan stood at the door and smelled for a while, the smell was vaguely visible, He wanted to go around the village to see whose family ate meat, but when he heard the word "egg" in his ears, he turned around and hurried back to the main room to beg for food from his mother.
"Mom, please feel sorry for your daughter-in-law. I also gave you a grandson, right, Bao'er." Qian's loud voice rang out again.
Looking at the two people licking their faces and opening their mouths in front of them, Bai's chest ached with anger.
"You parents, you are still greedy for your children's rations, are you ashamed! Get away from me, you still want to eat eggs, eat shit!"
"Mom, how can you do this, scolding people every day, and Bao'er is here, and he has learned how to do it." Niu Qianshan complained.
His mother is rich, but she is very stingy. Besides, she has several old hens at home and can’t finish the eggs. What’s wrong with giving two to her son and daughter-in-law? How much are the eggs worth? Why not just give them to yourself? Replenish your body, I feel dizzy now when I go to work in the fields and stand for a while, it must be a serious physical condition!
"Mom and dad are eating shit~ Mom and dad are eating shit~" Niu Baoer clapped his hands with a wicked smile on his face.
"Papa~" Niu Qianshan was so angry that he mentioned his son without hesitation, slapped his buttocks and screamed.
"Ouch~" Niu Baoer's buttocks were spanked so painfully that he began to cry, tears and snot dripping down his nose.
"What are you doing? He's still so young. Why are you beating him?" Qian still felt sorry for her son. She grabbed her son who was crying and held him in his arms to comfort him.
"My dear baby, don't cry. Daddy is bad. Mom will help you beat him."
"Hiss~ It hurts, mother, why are you hitting me too!" Niu Qianshan was beaten by his wife and mother. He looked at the little bald man who had stopped crying and started laughing at his father, with a look of resentment on his face.
