After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the door of Mrs. Wang's house, Li knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open the door, Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Li with her daughter, and greeted them into the courtyard with a smile, Tang Qing'er was the first time to come to a stranger's house, and saw a lot of poultry, chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle in her yard, so that the smell of feces in the yard was particularly strong, Tang Qing'er has been holding her breath since she came in, even if she couldn't hold her breath, she took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled out, and finally entered the house, Tang Qing'er dared to breathe normally.

Mrs. Wang poured bowls of water for Li and Tang Qing'er, and said to Li: "I guess it's the eldest niece who comes over, this is your eldest daughter, she looks so handsome, and the Xu family doesn't have it," Mrs. Wang saw the beautiful girl in the village, and couldn't help but ask her how old she was and if she had a good match.

How dare Tang Qing'er take this, bowed her head and didn't speak, Li looked embarrassed and said: "Auntie, my Qing'er is only nine years old, and I and the head of the family are reluctant to give her to another family so early,"

Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile, took Tang Qing'er's hand, looked at Tang Qing'er's appearance carefully, and said, "How old are you this year, do you have brothers and sisters at home," of course she knew the situation in the Li family, a matchmaker like her, who in the village was in what situation, how many people, and how many laborers, she knew everything, she deliberately asked Tang Qing'er this, just to see how this girl spoke.

Tang Qing'er looked up at her mother, and when she saw her mother nodding, she looked up a little restrained and shyly and said, "I am eight years old this year, and I have two younger brothers and one sister in the family," After answering, she lowered her head again, and secretly pursed the corners of her mouth when Mrs. Wang was not paying attention.

Mrs. Wang looked at Tang Qing'er's big eyes, watery skin, red cherry mouth, and curved willow eyebrows, looking innocent and cute, and the corners of her mouth slightly pursed when she spoke, with two shallow dimples, she couldn't help but say to Li: "Your daughter's marriage is wrapped up in me!" ”

Li Shi was startled, and hurriedly said, "What did the aunt say?" Is my girl still young? ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Didn't I say hello to you in advance, when your Qing'er wants to marry someone, I will help her find a good husband,"

Tang Qing'er didn't look up and could feel that Mrs. Wang was smiling very happily, she didn't want to be given so early, from the moment she stepped into this room, Tang Qing'er regretted it, if she knew that things could become like this, she wouldn't come to say anything.

Here, the Li family was also afraid that Mrs. Wang would get farther and farther away, so he hurriedly said to the truth: "Auntie, didn't you say that your family just hatched a litter of chickens, where can I see where it is?" ”

"Go, come with me into the house, are they all on the kang in my house?"

Li took Tang Qing'er's hand and entered the house together, and saw more than a dozen yellow chicks walking tremblingly on the kang, Tang Qing'er couldn't help but touch them with his hand, but was dragged by Li and said: "The newly hatched chicks can't be touched, they are easy to die," Tang Qing'er knew this, and quickly withdrew his hand.

Mrs. Wang touched Li and said, "Big niece, I won't lie to you, you see that my little chick grows bigger than other people's houses, and the color is good, so I guarantee that I can feed well,"

Li nodded, this Wang Pozi's chicken is really good, big, and the claws are also very tough, so small can walk a few steps, it is indeed easy to feed, so he said: "Auntie, you have a lot of money for this chicken,"

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "My chicken boy has twelve cents a piece,"

Hearing this price, Li's face was a little uneasy, and he said slowly: "My aunt also knows that I sincerely want to buy chickens, and if my aunt hadn't stopped me in the town today, maybe I would have bought that chicken."

Li's implication is: "I saw a family selling chickens in the town today, a ten cents, and said that they are all mothers, if you didn't tell me that your family also hatched chickens, for the sake of living in a village, I would like to come to you to buy, if you raise the price so high, I won't buy it." ”

Mrs. Wang knew the meaning of Li's words, and said with some embarrassment: "Their chickens are different from mine, my chickens are easy to feed, and I promise to buy a few to live." ”

"Auntie, I'll bring the price of seven, you see I can't let you suffer, I won't sell it, next time I go to the town to buy it!" I won't delay my aunt's work," he said, taking Tang Qing'er's hand and walking out.

Mrs. Wang saw that Li Shi turned around and was about to go out of the door, so she hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "The eldest niece turned out to be an anxious child, don't be in a hurry to go, the aunt's words haven't been finished yet?" ”

Li stopped, turned to see that Mrs. Wang was silent, Mrs. Wang stepped forward, pulled Mrs. Li and walked into the house again, and said: "I just said the last sentence just now, and the next sentence, the next sentence is: Selling others is 12 cents, and selling the eldest niece is 10 cents, how about it?" ”

Li had already guessed that Mrs. Wang would keep her, but she said with an embarrassed face: "How embarrassing this is, and it makes you suffer,"

"Look at what you said, if you live in a village, can I be embarrassed to ask you more? It's not easy to make money," Mrs. Wang said this, but she thought in her heart: "Your two-story wooden building has been built, and you have sold so many mushrooms in the town today, making a lot of money, and you can buy a few chickens and search for them,"

Tang Qing'er saw that the two of them understood in their hearts, but they pretended to be confused on their faces, and they complimented each other, she really couldn't stand them being so ink, so she dragged her mother and said, "Mother, my sister may be awake at this time, and we are not at home, maybe there is a lot of crying in the house?" ”

What a shrewd person Mrs. Wang was, she was afraid that the Li family would really not buy it, so she immediately said: "Big niece, you can take whichever one you like,"

Li didn't talk much nonsense, grabbed seven chickens from the side of the kang and put them in the basket he carried, gently covered them with a cloth, took out seventy yuan from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Wang, and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, this is seventy yuan, you count, if it's right, we will go home, maybe the little girl in the family is crying now?" ”

Mrs. Wang took the money in her hand and counted all of them, and said with a smile: "It's seventy wen," It seems that the Li family originally planned to buy her chicken for ten wen, so the money was a lot.

Li was worried about his family, and when he saw that Mrs. Wang said that the money was not bad, he said: "I'm worried about the children at home, so I won't stay here longer."

Mrs. Wang saw that the money had arrived, although it was more than a dozen yuan away from the price she wanted to sell, but it was also according to the price of the town market, not too much loss, and said with a smile on her face: "Then I won't keep you any more, next time my family is going to hatch chickens, I'm telling you,"

"Okay, auntie, you can stay, we can go out by ourselves," Li led his daughter to the door, and turned back to Mrs. Wang.

On the way home, Li was not in a hurry, just now Qing'er said that Jiao'er might be awake, and she deliberately lied to Mrs. Wang's words, so she followed her daughter's words and walked for a while, nodded her daughter's nose and said, "What a smart girl,"

Tang Qing'er understood what her mother meant by this, so she smiled and said, "Mother, now our chickens have also been bought," and pointed to the basket and said, "The chickens here are so small, how can we feed them,"

In the past, when Li was at her mother's house, she helped her mother raise chickens, so she said: "Because these chickens are too small, we first feed them with millet soaked in water, but we must avoid the water before feeding, because the chickens will be strained when they drink water, and they will "paste their butts" when they are strained, so they will easily die. ”

"Mother, what is a paste ass." Tang Qing'er heard her mother say that chicks would stick their buttocks, so she asked with a smile.

Li saw that his daughter was still so inattentive to her image outside, and scolded angrily: "You are a girl, how can you be so smiling outside and let people see it, and you can't say that you don't pay attention to etiquette." ”

Tang Qing'er looked around, didn't find anyone else, and said softly: "Mother, there are no outsiders around here, that's why I dare to laugh like this, don't be angry, tell me what a paste butt is?" As long as she makes Li angry, has a positive attitude of admitting her mistakes, and behaves well, Li's face will improve a little.

Li really has no way to take his daughter, he can't make sense, he is reluctant to fight, he sighed and said: "The paste butt is the shit of the little chick that blocks the buttocks, and after a long time, the little chicks can't pull out the shit, and they will be suffocated to death,"

"Ahh And this kind of thing, then our little chick is really going to be a sticky butt, what should I do? Tang Qing'er asked worriedly.

"You kid! Say that you are smart why are you stupid at this time, if the chicken is really sticky, you can use your hands to deduct the shit from it, and then wash it with water," Li said lightly.

Tang Qing'er was disgusted for a while when she heard this, she thought that she would not be able to do this thing of deducting for the chickens anyway, so she secretly lifted the cloth on the basket and said, "Mother, how many of these seven chicks will grow up to be hens,"

"This mother doesn't know what to do, generally chickens can lay eggs in about four months to half a year, and at that time they know which ones are hens and which ones are roosters,"

"Oh, mother, I wish these hens in our house, so that we can lay eggs every day, seven eggs a day,"

When she got home, Li did not put the chickens directly into the chicken coop, but took them to the house and put them on the kang, Jiao'er had woken up at this time, and played with the rag doll that Tang Qinger made for her on the kang, and saw her mother put a few Huang Yingying's little chicks on the kang. ”

Seeing Jiao'er arching straight in Li's arms, Tang Qing'er lightly picked up one of the chickens and put it in the palm of her hand, and put Jiao'er's hand in front of the chicken's mouth, the chicken thought it was delicious, and grabbed Jiao'er with a bang, so frightened that Jiao'er hid in Li's arms, Tang Qing'er giggled.

Since there are these chickens in the house, it has become lively, wood and stone always have to play with these little chicks when they come back from school at night, and then go to endorse, even the tiger head and Fei'er of the second uncle's family come to see them every day, only Jiao'er is afraid at home, as long as she sees the chicks, she will hide or let people pick them up, and stay away from them.

At this time, the Li family would always say to Tang Qing'er: "Look at your sister's scare, don't do this next time,"
