Zhou Da Wa took down his brother's hand and pointed out, "Mother, there's no chick now."
"There's none?" Er Wa couldn't help be disappointed.
"I know that there are no chicks now. I plan to raise them next spring. At that time, will definitely have them and I just need to buy them from the villagers. If we want to raise chickens in the future, then what the chicks eat will be a problem." Lin Qing He said.
The house was very empty, especially the vegetable gardens in the backyard, which was mostly stalks. It was a pity not to raise chickens.
However, the original owner loved cleanliness more than her. She was set on not raising them because she didn’t like the smell. But if it was clean up well, the smell won't be so exaggerated. and the backyard was still some distance away from the house.
When Zhou Qing Bai comes back, she'll ask him to build a chicken coop.
"If there are chickens at home, will there be chickens to eat in the future?" Zhou Da Wa's eyes shone.
"Chickens need to lay eggs!" Zhou Er Wa said immediately.
How can the eggs be laid after eating the chicken?
"Chicken is very delicious!" Zhou Da Wa retorted.
After being told this by his brother, Zhou Er Wa instantly drooled and looked at his mother.
Although the kid didn't speak, Lin Qing He could see the meaning in his eyes: Mother, I haven't eaten chicken yet.
"Wait and see which day I can find any chickens to buy." Lin Qing He could only say.
"Mother, you're so great." Er Wa immediately came to hug her leg and said softly.
Although he will become the villain's leading strategist for three brothers in the future, he was still a small bun right now.
After being so spoiled by Lin Qing He for a few days, he threw the coldness of the former owner out of his mind and was extremely close to her. Who knew that Zhou Er Wa even proposed his desire to sleep with her along with San Wa last night.
Before he dared not mention it to the original owner.
Children were very discerning, who treated him well and who didn't, they know in their mind.
Knowing that Lin Qing He was kind to them, he dared to make a request. However, Lin Qing He did not agree and let the two of them continue to sleep on their own.
"Next year, when raising chickens, you guys are responsible for feeding." Lin Qing He said.
"I'll go catch bugs from the garden and feed the chicks!" Er Wa responded immediately.
"Then I go out to dig the earthworms and bring back to feed!" Zhou Da Wa followed up.
"Eat, eat chicken." San Wa looked at his eldest brother and then his second eldest brother and jumped in.
Er Wa went over to educate him that the chick had to be raised for laying eggs and could not be eaten.
The family had dinner before five o'clock. The pork dumplings were very fragrant. However, the three brothers were still too young to eat much, so a bowl was leftover.
And it was at that time, Zhou Dong carried today's second load of firewood over. Lin Qing He brought it out to him and said, "Little Dong, take this bowl of dumplings back to eat. Shenzi has something to discuss with you."
Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "Shenzi, if you have a matter, I will do it for you. But you can leave the dumplings for Da Wa and his brothers."
"Brother Zhou Dong, we have all eaten it." Zhou Da Wa spoke unrestrainedly.
It was obvious that Zhou Er Wa didn't want his mother to give away such delicious dumplings, but he remained silent.
"You hear, they have eaten. If you don't accept this bowl of dumplings, Shenzi won't be able to speak." Lin Qing He said.
Zhou Dong hesitated a bit when he heard this. Then he took it and said, "Shenzi, tell me."
"It's like this. Shenzi intends to go to the county town. There are a lot of things to buy this time. At that time, Shenzi can't bring it back by myself. Do you think you can go with Shenzi the day after tomorrow?" explained Lin Qing He.
There was a trailer in Zhou Dong's house, which can transport what she wants. This time may be the last time for her to go to the county town this year. There was no way since it was too far.
Three or four hours. Just going to and back and the day was already over. The most important part was how exhausting it was ah!
"Okay, I will come the day after tomorrow. What time, Shenzi?" Zhou Dong listened and agreed.
There was nothing to do the day after tomorrow because the day after tomorrow was handing over the public ration. He wasn't needed then. The day after that day was the day when the food gets distributed, so it didn't delay anything.
"Five o'clock." Lin Qing He stated.
Departing at five o'clock for the county city, and it'll open at nine o'clock.
Zhou Dong nodded, looked at the bowl of dumplings. He still wanted to return it, Lin Qing He declared: "Take it back to eat, otherwise, I dare not call you."
She also paid the three dimes to Zhou Dong for the evening's bundles of firewood, then let him go back.
Not long after Zhou Dong went back, Zhou Xi returned the washed bowl. She asked Lin Qing He whether she would use her to take care of the brothers the day after tomorrow.
The original owner used to call her, and the little girl was quite reliable. However, Lin Qing He didn't plan to and replied: "No need. The day after tomorrow, I will call their grandma to take care of them."
Zhou Xi returned.
As for Lin Qing He telling Zhou Dong to go to the county town with her, which delay him to find firewood to make money, there was no problem. Because Lin Qing He’s bowl of pork dumplings was worth five dimes if eaten in a restaurant in the county city or town. And that needed a food coupon, otherwise, you can’t buy it even if you have money.
So they didn't suffer a loss with this bowl of dumplings.
The villagers also saw Zhou Dong take back a bowl of dumplings from there, and curiously asked.
There was no reason to hide and explained that Lin Shenzi need his help for something and gave him this.
And the something, he was asked to accompany her to the county city the day after tomorrow.
As for why Lin Qing He take Zhou Dong to the county city, the people in that village didn't need to ask. They knew that there is a lot of things to buy, and since she couldn't carry it back, she found someone to lift the goods.
But this bowl of pork dumplings was also worth it ah. they smelled its fragrant.
Zhou Dong was not stupid. He went directly home, devoured it with his sister, and had the dish washed to be sent back.
Although there was only one bowl of dumplings, it was enough as there were flour and pork, so the brother and sister did not plan to cook any more tonight.
Soon it was food distribution, people who were short on food supply can get paid in advance first. And it'll be deducted later when the food was being distributed, so every family won't starve for the time being. However, they have to pass the winter afterward, so they can't casually eat.
In particular, for a household like Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi. If they don't tighten their belts to live their lives, there will be sudden shortages all year long.
However, this year Lin Qing He needed much more firewood than last year, which was also a very good income for them. For example, today, the four bundles of firewood, they made six dimes.
The village was only so big, so the news of Lin Qing He calling Zhou Dong to go to the county city soon spread to Mother Zhou's ears.
Mother Zhou was so angry that she was one step away from grasping her chest: "I thought she really wanted to change for better! Still the same old!"
She just went to town today and brought back a basket of supplies and want to go to the county city the day after tomorrow. It was only a few days since she last went to the county city. Is there such a waste of money!
Eldest, Second and Third Sister-in-law all had unsurprised expressions.
Everyone in the village had different opinions, but their key point was relatively uniform. They all criticized how Lin Qing He didn't know how to live a life and was extremely family-ruining. She was simply the number one wealth dissipating woman in their entire production team, who didn't know how to live life!
