Chapter 43 Chicken
On a hot summer day, the courtyard door was opened, and under the shade of the trees, Mrs. Yang and the old lady Liu wiped the sweat from their faces while listening to the movements of the two children outside.
Yang asked with a smile: "I heard commotion in your yard early in the morning. Is this a happy event for the family?"
The old lady of the Liu family shook her hand: "He felt uncomfortable. When he woke up in the morning, he shouted a few times. The eldest grandson came out to coax him and said he would send him to live with his younger son for a few days, but he stopped talking."
When the old lady of the Liu family mentioned the old man of the Liu family, her tone was particularly calm and calm. The man could no longer let her have any more emotional reactions.
She herself found it very funny, and Heyang smiled and said: "In the early years, whenever he frowned, my heart would beat a thousand times.
Now that he's yelling at me so early in the morning, I don't even feel a trace of emotion in my heart. I'm just annoyed that he's torturing the younger members of the family again.
As the old saying goes, any affection can be worn out."
The old lady of the Liu family discussed with Mr. Yang what to do in the spring of the next year. She asked Mr. Yang: "I plan to raise more than ten chickens. Do you want to raise some chickens at your house?"
Yang was immediately interested. As long as the chicken raising work was done carefully, the home would not look too messy.
She immediately nodded and said, "The weather is getting cooler, so we can get busy with this matter."
"I originally wanted to start cooking it in the fall, but then I thought about it. I didn't go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables this spring, and I didn't have any stock at home.
When the weather is cold, the hen doesn't lay much eggs, so she stops tossing around.
When the weather gets cooler, Liu Niuniu and I will go up the mountain and pick up some dead branches. The big ones can be used to surround the chicken pens and make nests for the chickens."
In the afternoon, Zhou Damei wove a bamboo basket in her hand and whispered to Yang: "Mom, I originally thought that Aunt Liu's family would always have a hard time after their family was divided.
But looking at these days, Aunt Liu seems to be looking forward to this day."
"She didn't look forward to this day coming. It's just that when this day came, she was prepared in her heart. After being uncomfortable for a while, she could accept the reality."
How could the old lady of the Liu family not feel uncomfortable at all with her temperament? She just felt uncomfortable for a long time, but she was able to accept the quiet life now.
Mr. Liu and his wife are filial, the eldest son's grandchildren are sensible, and Liu Niuniu is a sensible and considerate child, so her mood is naturally much better.
Mrs. Liu and Mr. Yang said privately: "I feel that I have hope for my life now. I don't have to worry about things at home, and I can also think about doing other things."
Mrs. Liu has worked hard all her life and has been idle for a few months. She already feels bad in her heart.
Now that the sons have separated and the eldest son and his wife are filial to her and are willing to take care of her sixth niece, Mrs. Liu feels that she is most comfortable now in her life.
In the morning, when Yang Shi and Shu Ling went out, they happened to meet Mrs. Liu and Liu Niuniu. The four of them were very happy.
The old lady of the Liu family and Mr. Yang said with a smile: "There was someone selling bamboo at the entrance of the town yesterday. Let me go and see if he is still here today?"
"My family also wants to buy some various kinds of bamboo. My eldest daughter-in-law is very handy. She discussed with me yesterday and said she wanted to use bamboo to make curtains."
"Your eldest daughter-in-law is very clever. After she is good at it, I will also learn from it. I haven't done these things for many years, and I am worried that I won't be able to do them anymore."
"The backpack you made before was very strong. When my third son was young, I carried him up the mountain without any problems."
"Well, that was an old thing many years ago. I didn't have time to do these things later. Now that I have free time, I always have to find something to do."
They mentioned the interesting things about the old days and smiled at each other. The two little girls followed them, looked at each other, and then laughed together.
After being sad for a few days, Liu Niuniu became happy again. Her uncle and aunt never yelled at her, and her cousins and cousins were really getting closer to her now.
Liu Niuniu and Shu Ling said with a smile: "When I got up in the morning, the receptionist asked my nephew and me to share a bowl of custard.
I originally didn’t want to steal my nephew’s food, but the hostess said that she had prepared a portion for me.”
After hearing this, Shu Ling took a sip of saliva: "Liu Niuniu, your hostess is so nice, I want to eat egg custard too.
I'll be back in a while and I'll talk to my aunt."
"Grandma told me that we will raise a lot of chickens next spring, and when the chickens lay eggs in the fall, we can cook a lot of custards."
"I will tell my grandmother later that our family will raise more chickens next year. If we have a large family, the chickens will lay more eggs, and everyone can eat one egg."
“Our family has become smaller, and the backyard is freed up, so my grandmother and I can raise a lot of chickens.
I learned to feed chickens from my grandmother, and next year I can treat you to an egg."
Yangshi and the old lady of the Liu family naturally heard what the two little girls said. Yangshi's face was full of excitement: "Although we are older, we can actually do a lot of things."
The old lady of the Liu family whispered to Mr. Yang: "Early years ago, my mother-in-law told me that if our children and grandchildren are not filial, why do we need to do more things.
When children and grandchildren are filial, they will do more if they can. I didn’t understand it before, but now that I’m older, I finally understand.
I didn't do anything a few days ago, just because I wanted to see the attitude of my children and grandchildren. Sure enough, once I tried it, I understood everything."
"Your mother-in-law is wise, but her life is not good."
"Yes, she is a very nice person, but it's a pity that good people don't live long. The Liu family doesn't have my father-in-law or mother-in-law, nor does it have such a big family."
The entrance to the town is very lively, with people coming and going.
Yang held Shu Ling's hand tightly and warned her: "Don't let go. If someone kidnaps you, you will never see your grandmother and your parents again, and you won't be able to eat delicious food."
Shu Ling held Yang's hand tightly with her little hand. She looked at the people around her curiously and listened to their shouting and selling.
"Qiya, look at the chicks." Liu Niuniu called out from afar. After Shu Ling heard it, she quickly replied: "Liu Ya, I'm here."
She shook Yang's hand: "Grandma, let's go buy chicks."
Yang was about to tell her granddaughter that the weather was hot and it was not easy to raise chickens, but when she saw her looking up at him, she softened her heart and thought about buying a few to coax the little ones.
OK.
At the place where chickens are sold, there are several children surrounding them. They point their little fingers to the chickens. The old woman selling chickens smiles. As long as the children are happy at this time, the elders in the family will always buy one or two chickens to take home.
of.
Liu Niuniu held on to Old Mrs. Liu and refused to let go: "Grandma, buy one, two, three, four or five chickens."
After Shu Ling came over, she pulled Yang and said, "Grandma, buy one, two, three, four, five or six chickens."
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Liu exchanged glances, and they squatted down to pick out the chickens. Each of them picked five chickens, and carefully discussed the price with the old woman.
