"Sister Ermei is here, Doudou is here to give Auntie a hug."
Su Yu teased the little Doudou in Yang Ermei's arms. The child was babbling and shouting. He stretched out his arms to Su Yu, but he didn't recognize him at all. Su Yu quickly caught him.
In the countryside, it was normal for the elder to bring up the younger. Su Yu was ten years old this year. Yang Ermei didn't think there was anything wrong with giving her son to Su Yu, so she handed the child to Su Yu smoothly.
"Take it, and give me another hand. This kid doesn't know what to eat. He's so tight that my arm is almost no longer my own."
Su Yu just heard this and didn't take it seriously. Most of the country people praised their children for their good looks, and most of them said the same thing. She didn't hesitate to ask Yang Ermei to bring more children to visit her. She knew her own family affairs. Now the secrets of their chickens could not be known to others. There would only be more and more secrets in the future. She didn't want to have many outsiders in the family in the future.
"Oh, auntie peeled grapes for Xiaodoudou to eat."
Su Yu wanted to get some food for the child, but there was really nothing good to eat at home, and the grapes brought by his mother were still good enough.
Su Yu took a grape from the bowl, peeled it carefully, crushed it with his fingers and put it in Xiaodoudou's mouth. The little guy smacked his mouth, and after a while he pointed at the grape in the bowl, with big eyes. Looking at Su Yu, he was giggling and didn't know what he was talking about.
Su Yu was happy and quickly peeled the grapes and fed them. Just like that, the two of them peeled and ate them one by one.
Yang Ermei felt more at ease now, and started to engage in household chores with Mrs. Lian beside her.
"Auntie, how old is Yu'er this year?"
"She, it's the eleventh day after the Chinese New Year."
"I really didn't realize the fish was so big. I usually do whatever I do at home. I never saw anyone at home when I came here to visit."
"This child usually likes to stay indoors and doesn't like to go out very much, so her father and I just let her go."
Su Yu hatched eggs at home, and the family had a unified stance. Otherwise, if they let outsiders know, it would be not a blessing but a curse for their family. If people know about such a profitable business, it is inevitable that some people will not be moved, and others will follow them. It's okay if someone comes to me brightly, but I'm afraid that if someone comes to me secretly, it's hard to guard against it at that time. Another reason is that because she cannot do without Su Yu when hatching eggs, she will not go out often in the future, which is acceptable in the village.
In fact, Su Yu had considered that they had just moved to Yujia Village and others were not familiar with the details of their family, otherwise she would not have dared to hatch hundreds of chickens and ducks at once.
Yesterday, Su Yu asked the father and son to go to the town, and they went in front of the villagers. When they came back, there were a few cages pulled on the cart, and some chickens and ducks were scattered in them. These were the father and son, so they took a shortcut in advance. It was hidden near the village and covered with a straw curtain. When people in the village asked, Su Laoer said that he bought it elsewhere. The other father and son did not say much or give details. How much did you buy?
The cage was tightly covered, and the people in the village could hear the chirping of chickens and ducks. They didn't know how many there were, so the two of them drove the car to the house in plain sight, and the chickens and ducks in the house also found their origin.
"Auntie, people in our village don't follow the rules of those wealthy families. Yu'er's age is the time for fun. It's better to let her play with the girls in the village. It's also good to have a playmate."
Su Yu felt a little strange. Yang Ermei didn't seem to be such a meddlesome person, but he kept talking about her affairs today. Could it be that someone in the village was gossiping about her? It was only how long ago his family moved to the village. These things God, she hasn't interacted with people in the village, so she shouldn't.
"You're right. I'll let Yu'er go play in the village instead. Girls should be happy."
The corner of Yang Ermei's mouth twitched. Well, what she just said was in vain.
She had heard a lot about the rumors in the village before, but she was only familiar with Mrs. Lian in front of her, but not close to each other. The rumors in the village were not easy to mention in front of Mrs. Lian, so she wanted to use this roundabout method. She didn't expect Mrs. Lian to let her daughter work. At least she had to go around the village and see Su Yu who was spreading gossip. The rumor that she was in poor health was broken. As for eating well and being lazy to cook, in her opinion, The villagers were right.
Yang Ermei had been here for more than half an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, she went home with her child in her arms. Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her grandson's feeding, so she followed her son to the fields. Yang Ermei had no time at home alone. Not only did she take care of the child, but she also had to cook and wash clothes. , I also have to tidy up the vegetable garden in the backyard. In my free time, I show off some handkerchiefs and take them to the clothing store in town to buy them. At least I can earn some copper coins. She doesn't have much free time, and Su Yu doesn't worry about her frequent visits.
"Yu'er, we don't have much cabbage at home. What will these chickens and ducks eat in the future?"
Mrs. Lian didn't plan to tell her daughter at first, but the chickens and ducks were too young and she had never taken care of them before, so she couldn't help but feel worried, so she told her daughter.
Su Yu slapped her forehead. She had forgotten about it in the past two days.
"Mom, I have noticed before that there is a kind of aquatic plant beside the river. It has oval leaves. There are many of them by the river in front of my house. When I finish feeding the cabbage at home, I will cut the aquatic plant to feed it. There are many aquatic plants by the river. , enough for our chickens and ducks to eat, so we don’t have to worry about raising hundreds more.
Su Yu remembered the aquatic plants growing by the river. In the past, in the countryside, her grandparents liked to use that kind of aquatic plants to feed chickens and ducks. In modern rural areas, many people cut it back and chopped it into pieces to feed pigs and chickens. A lot of it was used as feed. Some manufacturers will also purchase this kind of grass, dry it, grind it into powder and mix it into the feed.
Mrs. Lian was overjoyed and rolled her eyes at Su Yu.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? You've made me worry so much these days."
"Hehe, I forgot."
Mrs. Lian put down her work and planned to make dinner for the family.
"Mom, please rest. I'll make dinner today."
"You have a good rest, my mother will cook dinner."
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, but Su Yu refused to convince Mrs. Lian, and Mrs. Lian still cooked the dinner at home.
Mrs. Lian murmured in her heart that she only had a few copper coins left at home. Every time her daughter cooked a meal, all the oil in the house would be used up. Once it was used up, she would have to spend money to buy it.
Su Yu didn't know anything about Lian's thoughts and was quite touched. Her mother was so kind to her.
Su Yu got up early the next morning. After breakfast, Su Yu carried a basket on his back and planned to go to the river to cut some aquatic plants.
"I still have some at home, so I'm not in a hurry to cut the aquatic plants. It would be good for you to go shopping in the village and make some friends."
"I know, mother."
Because of what Yang Ermei said yesterday, Ms. Lian felt a little sorry for her daughter. When she was in Wangjia Village, her daughter was never home and liked to be outside. Now look at her daughter. She has been here for almost a year for the sake of the family's livelihood. Months, the number of times I go out can be counted with one hand.
