Little Petite

chapter 31

Liu Yu raised chickens and ducks for the first time, it was inevitable to be frightened, and after a night, he got up several times at night, squatted in front of the cage with an oil lamp and looked at it for half a day, making sure that the chickens and ducks inside were not dead, and he only let go of half of his heart.

I didn't sleep well at night, and when I got up the next day, a faint blue color appeared under Liu Yu's eye sockets.

But when the sun rose, he drove the chickens and ducks out of the cage to let the wind blow, listening to the thin cries in their mouths, the fatigue on his face was instantly swept away, and he couldn't help but smile happily.

He prepared a food bowl and a water basin, the water in the basin is boiled cold and white, the food bowl contains chopped green vegetable leaves and a little deliberately boiled white rice.

The flock of chickens and ducks smelled the scent and flapped their wings and stumbled into the food bowl.

"Xiao Yu." Outside the fence came Aunt Zhang's voice, "Oh, did you buy chicken and duck seedlings?"

Liu Yu was holding a small basin in his hand that had just been filled with chickens and ducks to eat, and he walked towards the fence with a sound, and he smiled and said to Aunt Zhang, "I made some money selling medicinal herbs before, and I wanted to buy some chickens and ducks to raise back."

"Oh." Aunt Zhang remembered something, "I just watched your Aunt Wang's Xiangzi run up the mountain with a group of children every day, and came back with a basket full of herbs, saying that you were collecting herbs here."

Liu Yu nodded, he never hid from Aunt Zhang: "Always let the governor help me find dirty clothes to wash too much trouble, and others only charge three yuan for washing clothes, but the chief helps me collect four pieces of money, others don't say it, the heart is definitely uncomfortable, so I let the children help me collect herbs, I made medicinal materials and sold them to the county medical center, I don't know if I can find another way to make a living."

"You child is just too sensible, growing up running around all day long, helping this and that, can you not collect some human affection to come back?" Aunt Zhang smiled and patted Liu Yu's head, "You are collecting affection in the gang, what is there to blame yourself for?"

Originally, Liu Yu was still sad that he had been bothering Zhou Zheng for so long, and when he saw Zhang Auntie smile so much that he couldn't see his teeth, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"That's right." Liu Yu suddenly remembered something, he asked Aunt Zhang to stand where she was and wait, turn around and run into the room with a small basin.

When he came out, he carried a bamboo basket in the crook of his arm.

At a distance, you can see that the bamboo basket is covered with a thick layer of cotton cloth, and there are white eggs piled on it.

Liu Yu handed the bamboo basket to Aunt Zhang: "My chickens have laid a lot of eggs, I and Brother Zhen can't finish eating, you take some back, and then I will send a basket to a few aunts and Yang Langzhong."

After all, Aunt Zhang has a lot of experience in life, even if she does not deliberately count, she can see at a glance that there are six eggs in the bamboo basket, and each egg is uniform in color, the surface is wiped clean, and the size is one of the best in the eggs she has seen.

"Is this your chicken's egg?" Aunt Zhang was stunned, when Liu Yu bought two sick hens to come back, she and Aunt Wang hugged Liu Yu and said a good meal, and then heard Liu Yu say that the hens can lay eggs, she was slightly comforted.
