Seeing Su Yu busy and busy, Su Laoer and his wife were very relieved that their daughter had finally grown up.
When the four of them sat at the table, Su Sheng put the bowls and said casually: "Mom and dad, my sister made this meal today. You guys have a try."
When the couple heard that tonight's meal was cooked by their youngest daughter, their expressions were a little uncomfortable. They had not forgotten the meals their daughter cooked the previous two times. Although several months had passed, it was still fresh in their memory. But looking at their daughter's excited little face, the two had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Tonight's meal is made of fish, so dad should eat more."
As he spoke, he took a steamed bun and bit it in one bite. Su Laoer was very cautious when he took the bite, for fear of accidentally knocking out his teeth. You know, half of his front teeth were missing, which was the first steamed bun Su Yu made. I was surprised when I found out that my daughter was cooking for the first time and she was so excited that she used too much force. It can be seen from this that Su Laoer loves his daughter very much.
When the steamed buns entered my mouth, they didn't have the teeth-gritting taste I expected, and they tasted okay, even better than the ones made by my mother.
"How's it going? Is it delicious? Dad, let's try this dish again. I spent a lot of effort making it."
"Well, dad, try it."
Su Lao Er took a mouthful of vegetables and put it into his mouth. With the steamed buns as a base, Su Lao Er didn't think the food cooked by his daughter was so unpalatable this time. He put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth and immediately squinted his eyes.
"Yes, the food cooked by my daughter is delicious."
Seeing that Haita's father ate it, Mrs. Lian didn't think her daughter's food was delicious. She only felt that Haita's father was duplicitous. They were the same way the previous two times. Lian took a bite of the steamed bun, chewed it for a few times, swallowed it, and picked up a chopstick of cabbage. After eating, she had nothing to say. Her daughter's cooking was indeed more delicious than hers, but when she saw the oily flowers floating on the cabbage soup, Lian Shi felt distressed again. How much oil did her daughter put in? However, this was the first time that her daughter had carefully cooked food for them. Mrs. Lian couldn't bear to blame her. She just wanted to make her daughter cook less meals. If this continued, the little oil she bought would not be enough to last until the New Year.
Su Sheng curled his lips when he saw the look of his parents. He took a steamed bun and took a bite and was stunned. Then he picked up a chopstick of cabbage and ate it while thinking. It seemed that his parents were telling the truth this time. It was indeed delicious.
Seeing that the three of them were enjoying their meal, Su Yu also took a steamed bun and started eating it. When the whole family had finished eating and drinking, Mrs. Lian was about to collect the bowls and wash them, but Su Yu hurriedly put away the dishes in advance.
"Mom, after a busy day, just sit down and rest for a while. I will take care of this."
Mrs. Lian felt a little emotional, her daughter had really grown up.
Su Sheng, who was sitting aside, felt that Su Yu was not normal today and might be holding back some big moves, so he sat still after eating and did not leave immediately as usual.
The stove and pot had been cleaned before, and hot water was boiled in the pot. There were really not many dishes and chopsticks to wash now, so I washed them and put them aside. Su Yu wiped his hands on his apron and came to the small table. Sit down at the square table.
In fact, not only Su Sheng thought so, but Su Laoer and his wife also thought so. Something must have happened to their daughter.
"Dad, Mom, don't you think our home is too empty?"
"Have it?"
Su Laoer thought about it for a while, but he didn't think that there were only three rooms in the house, a main room, the current stove house and a shed next to it for storing firewood, and there was nothing else.
"Dad, Mom, I mean, should we raise some chickens?"
Su Yu had previously planned to raise some chickens and pigs, but catching a piglet cost four to five hundred yuan, which was a huge expense for the Su family now, so Su Yu didn't mention catching piglets. As for me, I just want to raise a few chickens.
"Daughter, why did you think of raising chickens?"
"I'm not just raising a few chickens thinking I'll have nothing to do at home all day."
Su Laoer is happy that their daughter wants to do something. They feel that her daughter has grown up, but they are afraid that her daughter will act as soon as she wants to. Feeding chickens is a long-term job, and their family does not have much land, only two acres. After the spring planting, he has to go to the pier to carry big bags, and his mother has to go to the city to wash clothes for others. There is no time at all. What will happen if the daughter-in-law quits?
"How about raising two first?"
Su Laoer had a coaxing tone. His daughter wanted to work for the first time, so he had to agree.
Two? Su Yu thought to herself, it would be better to raise two than not at all. She wanted to grow bigger. She planned to raise forty or fifty in the first batch and wait until they are raised. Otherwise, she would sell eggs and chicks. OK.
"Dad, I plan to raise forty or fifty first. If they are well raised, I will raise more in the future."
"What! Forty or fifty?"
Su Laoer scratched his ears. Did he hear it correctly? It was not four or five, but forty or fifty.
Mrs. Lian was also shocked.
"Daughter, you raise so many chickens, are you too busy to come here?"
"Mom, don't worry. I will definitely be busy here. And today I met an old woman who came to our door and asked for water. I gave her water. She chatted with me for a few words and told me about a hatchling. The chicken method, we don’t have to go to other places to catch chicks, I can just buy the eggs and hatch them myself.”
"Daughter, could that person be a liar? I have never heard that no old hen can hatch eggs."
Su Laoer is very worried about his daughter. Being too innocent is not a good thing. He has been helping others carry big bags at the dock for several years. He has encountered many people and things. People who are blindly honest will be bullied. He can I don’t want my daughter to be bullied in the future.
"I think that old woman is a good person and won't lie to me. Besides, I will buy fifty eggs. If they hatch chicks, it's best. If they don't hatch, we will keep the eggs and eat them. Then we will also It’s not about not suffering a loss.”
"How about letting my daughter try it?"
Mrs. Lian looked at the child's father and said cautiously, you must know that one egg costs two cents, and fifty eggs is one hundred cents. It is a big expense for their family. If one hundred cents is given to her daughter, it will be in vain. They will definitely feel bad if it's a waste, but as my daughter said, if the chicks can't be hatched, they can keep the eggs to eat, or sell them again.
"Okay, I'll ask your mother to buy eggs for you tomorrow morning."
Su Yu was happy. She didn't expect her parents to agree so quickly. She still wanted to spend a lot of time.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, but you are all busy with the work in the fields now. Leave it to me to buy eggs. I will definitely be able to handle it. And not every egg can hatch a chick. I have to pick a few." . Tomorrow I’ll go to the fat aunt’s house in the village to see how many I can pick out. If I can’t pick out enough, I’ll go to Grandma Sun’s house to have a look, and then I’ll ask my mother to give them the money.”
These two households in the village raise many chickens, while most other households only have one or two, so they can't save many eggs at all.
It's okay for the couple to think about it, so let's do it.
As for what their daughter said about hatching chicks, the couple didn't take it to heart. In their hearts, they didn't believe that their daughter could hatch chicks. Anyway, the fifty eggs would be there by then, so they wouldn't be wasted at all.
Su Sheng didn't speak from the beginning to the end. Seeing that the matter had been settled, although he felt that Su Yu was fooling around, his parents couldn't help him. He knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would definitely be scolded, so he simply stood up and replied. own house.
It was late at night before the couple fell asleep. Although they agreed to let their daughter toss her around, it was still one hundred pennies, and they were not as relaxed as they seemed on the surface.
