The family of four was so busy that the cages were sent out of the house one by one. In the end, Su Yu counted the chickens in five cages, totaling one hundred and eighty-three, and the ducks in seven baskets, totaling three hundred and four. Twelve, the hatching rate was about the same as she expected.
After all the chickens and ducks were packed, the unbroken shells were picked up in one place, but the house was not built properly. Although the chickens and ducks had only broken out of their shells for a short time, the chickens and ducks had already begun to defecate, and the room smelled of chicken shit. Su Yu felt that not only the house, but himself also smelled of chicken shit. She didn't want this outfit anymore.
The mother and daughter went to the vegetable patch in the back garden to pull out a small half basket of young cabbage. They originally grew it for their own family to eat. Now the cabbage is at its most tender, but Mrs. Lian listened to her daughter, and the chickens and ducks were still small after they were born. To eat something good, I had no choice but to pull out a small basket.
Chop it finely, sprinkle a small handful into each cage, divide it into portions for several cages, and a small pot of cabbage will be gone.
Mrs. Lian couldn't help but feel worried. At this rate, the cabbage in the garden wouldn't last more than a few days. What would the chickens and ducks eat then?
Mrs. Lian thought to herself that she was still busy with her work, helping her daughter to clean the house. It was not that she didn't see her daughter's disgusted look just now, so she should hurry up and help her daughter clean the house.
Su Yu took seventy or eighty unbroken eggs in the basket. He had already seen them in the sun just now. Basically, there would be no more viable chickens and ducks. The weather was too hot and they couldn't put them away. He took them to the stove and put seventy or eighty eggs in them. They cook it together. She won't eat the eggs, but her family probably eats them. They don't pay much attention in the countryside. They are still meat after all. She won't be able to pass the test in her heart if she doesn't eat them.
In the evening, there was a large bowl of eggs on the Su family's dinner table.
"Daughter, is this really delicious?"
Su Laoer was a little hesitant.
"It's really edible. My daughter can still lie to you. Eat it quickly. Dad, eat more."
Su Yu lowered his head to pick at the brown rice in the bowl without even raising his head. They brought the rice from Wangjiacun. Today they cooked dry rice to celebrate, but they usually drink it thin.
The food she brought could last for another two or three months. In the past, even if she was killed, she would not believe that a small bag of flour could last a family of four for a month, but that was the case here. Steamed buns were not often eaten here. Most people eat it with some wild vegetables added to the batter. The few hundred pennies left at home, except for going to the town to buy some salt and lard, have not been touched, and nothing else has been added. The dining table is a bamboo table made by Su Laoer, Orange It is also made of bamboo, and the bed is also made of temporary bamboo.
Su Laoer did not doubt his daughter. He took an egg and knocked it on the table. He peeled off half of the shell with one hand. When he saw the thing inside, his hand shook and he almost lost his grip.
“Is this really edible??”
Su Yu just glanced at it and quickly turned his head to the side.
I don't know if his father is lucky, but the hairy egg in his hand is almost formed, with some sparse hair on it. The chicken's eyes are just open, and if he takes another look at Su Yu, he is afraid that he will have nightmares at night.
"Dad, if you don't dare to eat it, just change it to another one. I don't want this one."
When Su Laoer was peeling it off, Su Sheng also took one. There was only a little bit of red blood on the hairy egg. Su Sheng didn't have any psychological burden. He got rid of the hairy egg inside in just a few mouthfuls. It's not that he was not humble, he let it go. Anyone who has a large bowl placed in front of him and lets it go to eat will be like him.
Su Laoer was confused. He looked at the hairy egg in his hand and realized that it was no different from a bird caught in the mountains. He was reluctant to throw it away and bit off half of it in one bite.
"My dear, this tastes good, try it."
As he said this, he took an egg from the basin and handed it to Madam Lian. Madam Lian looked at Su Laoer and then at Su Sheng, but she really didn't have the courage to take the egg.
"I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I won't eat. My boss, please eat quickly and don't worry about me."
"What's going on?"
"It's nothing, I just don't have a good appetite. I can just eat brown rice. It's fine."
In this moment, Su Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Dad, you guys eat slowly. I'm full. I haven't slept well these days, so I'm going to bed first. It's hot and I can't hold eggs. Dad and brother should eat more. Don't keep these things. I don't like to eat them. "
After saying that, she ran away in a flash. She was afraid that she would vomit if she stayed any longer.
Su Laoer ate a raw egg and let go after overcoming the psychological pressure. The daughter was right. It's hot and the eggs can't be eaten. The child's mother and daughter don't dare to eat them, so they have to deal with it with their son.
For dinner, the father and son finished more than 30 eggs, and each of them ate more than a dozen. The rest couldn't be processed, so they saved them to eat tomorrow morning, as they wouldn't spoil overnight.
That night, Su Yu was finally able to have a good sleep. The only drawback was the strong smell of chicken feces in the room.
In the days that followed, Su Yu and Lianshi were responsible for the chickens and ducks at home, while Su Laoer and Su Sheng planned to go to the mountains to cut some firewood and come back. The weather was getting gloomier and gloomier, and it was probably going to rain, so in these two days .
There were hundreds of chickens and ducks. Although they were still small, it was not easy to feed, water, feed, and clean them all day long. The two of them took care of them very carefully, but in a few days, three chicks and four ducklings died.
Su Yu was very tolerant. The chickens and ducks were too small. It would be fine if just a few of them died in a few days. Mrs. Lian felt a little distressed, and her eyes were red when she buried the chicken and duck.
Su Yu thought about it and felt a pity. The chickens and ducks did not die of illness, but they were relatively weak, making it difficult for the family to eat. Thinking of the dogs raised by his grandparents in the countryside, he immediately had an idea.
"Mom, let's have a dog at home. Tie it next to the chicken pen at night and help look after the chickens and ducks."
Mrs. Lian thought about it and felt that her daughter's method was good. She could only be a thief for a thousand days, but there was no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. With so many chickens and ducks in the house, there must be some idle guy who had the idea, and Wong Tai Sin. It would be good to have a dog.
"Well, wait until Mom goes to the village and asks around. If any house has a puppy, I'll hold one."
Su Yu was lazily lying on the recliner made by Su Laoer. He didn't want to move even half of his fingernails. After staying up for more than ten days in the past few days, his body was growing again. Now As soon as the mind relaxes, people feel particularly lazy.
Mrs. Lian let her daughter rest and moved a stool to sit on the side, mending the old clothes at home. It would be more expensive for father and son to go to the mountains to chop firewood.
When Yang Ermei entered the yard, she saw such a scene. She couldn't help but think to herself, no wonder everyone in the village said so. She had never seen any daughter who did nothing like the girl from the Su family. Aunt Lian The same goes for the whole family. By doing this, they harmed the girls of the Su family.
"Auntie, you're busy."
Yang Ermei had nothing to do today, so she brought her son over to visit her. She had visited Su's house twice before, but she didn't see Su Yu each time. This was the first time today.
"Er Mei is here, sit down quickly."
Mrs. Lian said as she put down her work, took a stool and placed it next to her, then went to the stove to get a bowl of water, and also took a sea bowl with a few bunches of wild grapes in it.
Yang Ermei looked at Mrs. Lian who was busy, and at Su Yu who was idle. Which house she went to, she never saw the reason why her daughter was idle while her mother was busy.
The father and son found the grapes when they went into the mountains. I wonder if it is a problem with the climate here in Yujia Village. It is almost May and the grapes are ripe, but not many, just a few small bunches. Su Laoer thought The daughter only ate a small bunch for her son, but she didn't want to eat it herself, so she took the rest back for her daughter to eat.
There are a lot of wild grapevines in the mountains behind Yujiacun, so they are not a rare item. The grapes in the mountains are not ripe yet, so I just want to eat them fresh.
