Chapter 168: I'm Not an Old Hen
On Monday morning, Zhou Shining got up early, first went to the quail house and walked around, picked up all the quail eggs, and added the savings in the past few days, and put 200 pieces in the basket.
Just as Zhou Jiguo walked out after eating, she directly handed over the basket.
"Well, there are two hundred quail eggs in here, and I saved these few. Tell people about it, we'll send it this time this week, and we'll be able to send more next month. Zhou Sining explained.
Now only the first batch of more than 20 quails has laid eggs, and the next few batches will have to wait a few days, so the supply will not go up for the time being.
"Okay, that's a lot. Zhou Jiguo thought that 200 quail eggs were two yuan, that is, once a week, and eight yuan a month, and he would only be more than ten yuan a month when he went to work, which was hard-earned money.
After Zhou Jiguo left with the basket, Zhou Sining started another busy day.
"Auntie, my family's Xiao An has laid eggs. Xiao Hua jumped out of the house with his schoolbag on his back, ran to Zhou Sining, and cautiously stretched out his hand, which was a quail egg.
In the morning, he and his sister got up to see their own Xiao An, and found a quail egg lying in the paper shell, which made the brother and sister very happy.
"Oh, that's good. Zhou Sining glanced at it, and then continued to bow her head and mix feed without interest, she was full, and the quail eggs in the house hadn't been eaten yet.
"My mother said, the eggs laid today are for my sister to eat, and the eggs laid tomorrow will be mine. Xiaohua didn't notice that his aunt didn't like his show-off, and she was still chattering.
"Oh. Zhou Sining responded casually.
"Auntie, I won't eat tomorrow's eggs, can you help me hatch into a little quail?"
Zhou Sining glared at him angrily, "I'm not an old hen." "Besides, if only a female quail lays eggs, it would be strange if she could hatch a baby quail.
"Not ......"
"Xiaohua, what are you doing, it's almost time, hurry up, I'm going to be late for school. Sister-in-law Sun's voice came from the house.
"Oh," Xiaohua didn't finish his words, turned his head to look at himself, and said quickly before leaving: "Auntie, we'll talk about this when I come back from school, and besides, if you have anything to do, just wait for us to come back and help you." ”
"It's a job, isn't it? Zhou Sining said angrily.
With his little cautious eye, who can't see it, this is yesterday when he got the sweetness, and he still wants to exchange his labor for quail in her.
When Xiaohua heard her words, his little face suddenly became entangled, he can't work for nothing, he still wants to earn two more quails, in that case, his family can pick up three quail eggs a day, and he, his sister and his mother can each eat one.
Zhou Sining looked at his tangled little mood a lot, thinking that he was such a big person, and it was not good to embarrass a child, so he said kindly: "Okay, tease you, when will your aunt and I let you work in vain, and when I have to work for the weekend in the future, if I can't finish the work, I will look for you." ”
"Okay, Auntie, then we'll settle it. Xiaohua happily jumped to her house, eager to share the good news with her sister.
After a while, Xiaohua and Xiaoxia walked out of the house with their schoolbags one after the other, and the two children moved in the same way, turning their heads to look at Zhou Sining.
Just as Zhou Sining heard the movement and looked over, the two children both smiled loudly, and shouted briskly: "Auntie, we went to school, if you have a job, you will leave us to come back and help you do it." ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhou Sining to give them a feedback, they ran out of the yard hand in hand.
You can still faintly hear their conversation.
"Sister, you eat this egg quickly, I've been holding it in my hand, and it's still warm. ”
"Half of us. ”
"No need, you can eat it yourself, I can eat it tomorrow." ”
"No, I said one and a half, and yours will have to give me half tomorrow. ”
"Well, that'll do. ”
Zhou Sining lowered her head expressionlessly and was busy with the work in her hands, but she was thinking in her heart, next time she will not be so kind, what does it have to do with other people's children who are depressed, she actually coaxed others with her own things, which is really a big loss.
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, time has entered the middle of summer.
Although the summer in the north is not as muggy as in the south, it is just as hot, but in a different way, dry and hot.
Zhou Sining stared at the big sun overhead, carrying a heavy basket on his back, and moved home step by step.
Before she collapsed, she finally crawled to the doorstep.
"Xiao Zhou is back, how is the food this time, fresh or not?" Sister-in-law Sun was working in the yard, and when Xiao Zhou came back, she looked at it right, and hurriedly came over to help her unload the back basket behind her.
"Not fresh. Zhou Sining bent down and put down the dead back basket, straightened his waist, and wiped the sweat beads on his head with his sleeve.
Sister-in-law Sun turned over the back basket by herself, and there were persimmons on the top, and you could see beans and cucumber eggplants below. Just looking at the appearance, these vegetables are indeed not as fresh as those bought by the old farmers themselves.
"It's not fresh, why do you buy so much at once, you're alone, can you finish eating, don't put it rotten." "Sister-in-law Sun has always felt that Xiao Zhou is a little unable to live, and she spends money lavishly in some aspects.
"I'm saying that the vegetables in our field are almost ready to eat, and I don't have to spend this money for two days. She turned her head to look at the corner of the yard, where there was a small vegetable garden, and the seedlings on it were already calf high.
Zhou Sining also turned his head to look at the vegetable garden, and felt that Sister-in-law Sun's words were too exaggerated, what she could eat in two days was cabbage, coriander, radish and other small dishes, beans, eggplant, etc., why did she have to wait for more than a month.
"Hehe, don't I want to take advantage of the sun to dry some vegetables, and I can change the taste in winter, or potatoes and cabbage all day long, my family and country don't like to eat. Zhou Sining took his brother out of the top cylinder again.
Otherwise, you can't say that you make money, and you don't want to eat cabbage and potatoes.
Sister-in-law Sun saw that she was about to carry the basket to the door of the house, and hurriedly helped to carry it together, "Then you shouldn't buy vegetables at the vegetable shed, the food here is not good and more expensive than the one on the set." ”
Moving the back basket to the base of the wall, Zhou Shining took a small bench and basin, sat down and picked up vegetables outside, while chatting with Sister-in-law Sun.
"It's a little more expensive, but what's the solution, the set is too far, I have to walk back and forth for hours to buy vegetables over there, and I can't carry it when I buy more." "She really wanted to buy cheap and fresh food, but the conditions didn't allow it.
For the first time, Zhou Jiguo borrowed a bicycle to carry her to the market, but she couldn't always borrow other people's bicycles, so she went to the market on her legs after that, this time she mainly wanted to dry some vegetables and keep them for the winter, and there must be a lot of vegetables to buy.
