It happened that a woman came back from the field, and when she saw Min Jie and Chen Xiyu, two people who looked like outsiders, she hesitated and said, "Who are you? What are you doing outside our yard?"

"Hello Auntie, we're here to buy an old hen. Min Jie politely explained her intentions.

"Oh, buy chickens, come in and sit!" When the aunt heard that Min Jie was here to buy chickens, she immediately smiled.

Because the meat quality of the chickens in Shanao Village is good, they often have people here to buy chickens.

Min Jie and Chen Xiyu entered the yard, the yard was very clean, there was a persimmon tree in the middle, which was full of red persimmons, and several children sat under the tree, all holding a persimmon and eating happily.

In the courtyard, apart from the children, there was only one woman washing clothes at a water tank in the courtyard.

"Second sister, why are you doing laundry again?" asked the woman next to Min Jie with a smile.

"Alas, it's not these bastards, who climbed the tree to pick persimmons on their backs, but the persimmons were not picked, and the clothes were covered with black and gray moss on the trees. Although the woman complained about the children, she did not necessarily blame the children.

"Oh, second sister, you can't indulge these little kids. The woman next to Min Jie sneered, then walked quickly to several children, picked up one of the little boys, and scolded: "You are also embarrassed! Let another second aunt wash your clothes! Say thank you to the second aunt?"

"Alas, Jinhua, don't be like this, it's scared to the child!" said the washerwoman distressedly as she looked at the child whose persimmons had been frightened.

Zhang Jinhua glared at the washerwoman, put down the child in her hand, and did not continue the topic.

Instead, he introduced it to Min Jie: "Big sister, this is our second sister Liu from the courtyard of the Liu family." Everything is good, but the heart is too soft" Zhang Jinhua is obviously saying in a different way that Second Sister Liu should not be used to children.

This second sister Liu is the second sister of Zhang Jinhua's mother-in-law's family, and she is soft-hearted, especially for children, and occasionally fierce, but as long as the child cries, she will be soft-hearted.

And Zhang Jinhua can't see this, she really dotes on children like this.

Second Sister Liu's face was a little unbearable, and she changed the topic and said, "Who are these two? They don't look like people from our village?"

"This is a guest from out of town, who came to us to buy chicken. Zhang Jinhua explained.

"Oh, buy chickens! I don't know what you want? We have not only different breeds of chickens, but also chickens of different vintages. Second Sister Liu said enthusiastically.

"I want an old hen that grows up to be more than three years old and eats food completely. Min Jie said what she wanted.

"We have old hens here that are easy to find, but there are not many chickens that eat all the grain. Zhang Jinhua was a little embarrassed, and then explained: "Most of the chickens we feed now are bought, so they rarely feed all the grain. Even the free-range chickens in the mountains are now fed every day. ”

Min Jie listened to Zhang Jinhua's words, a little lost, why is it so difficult to find a pure natural chicken now.

"There is a place where there are chickens raised with grain!" Second Sister Liu said suddenly remembering something.

"Will she sell it?" Hearing Second Sister Liu's words, Zhang Jinhua turned her head and asked her in a low voice.

But now her family feeds the chickens with all the grain. Second Sister Liu was also a little troubled when she thought of that person, but now there is no one in their village who feeds the chickens with all the grain.

Seeing that the two of them were talking and whispering, Min Jie coughed helplessly.

The two were pulled back by Min Jie's coughing voice, and smiled: "We don't have this kind of chicken here, but there are families in our village who do." It's a bit hard to buy, though. ”

A moment later, Min Jie stood in front of a one-story cement house.

There is a fence in front of the house, through which you can see the chickens walking inside.

It was the only family in the village who did not live in the same yard as anyone else.

Because this family is very poor and poor, so poor that they can't work with the people in the village to fund the construction of the yard, and now this cement house was built for them by the government a year ago.

There were only two people in this family, a grandmother in her sixties and a grandson who was in poor health.

Min Jie stopped at the door for a long time, and Chen Xiyu looked at the top of her head, her face a little solemn.

Because of her grandson's weak health, the grandmother raised a few chickens, picked up some eggs for her grandson to replenish his body, and sold more eggs for some living expenses.

Because this egg is for her grandson, the grandmother has always been fed food, and there is not much food at home, so she goes to the slope every day to cut some grass, or put it in the mountains behind the house for the chickens to find their own food.

And if Min Jie buys a chicken now, although the price is more expensive than other chickens, it is not a good thing for this family, it is too difficult for the grandmother to raise a chicken, and the family will have less income if there is less chicken.

Min Jie was silent for a long time, and finally turned to leave.

Chen Xiyu also followed her away, and on the way, Chen Xiyu asked, "Won't you buy it?"

"No, their chickens are too precious to be used by me to make a dish, and I need not just one chicken, but many chickens. Min Jie's voice was a little deep.

Chen Xiyu was silent and said, "I'll help you find this kind of chicken." ”

Min Jie was almost shocked by Chen Xiyu's words, and Barrister Chen wanted to help her find chickens?!

"No need, no need!" Min Jie hurriedly refused, she couldn't imagine that the scene of the noble lawyer Chen helping her inquire about chickens every day was really outrageous.
