Chapter 24 People

Pei Yao returned to the set and it was already time to disperse in the morning, that is, around 10 o'clock.

Passing by the market, I saw an old woman selling chickens outside the market. Coincidentally, I just wanted to buy a few chickens and geese!

In this ancient time, the farmers raised a few chickens at will, mainly relying on the old people and children who could not contribute to the grass and insects to feed, or the adults returned from the field and cut the grass to feed, not willing to feed the grain, chickens, ducks and geese are thin and small and lay fewer eggs.

If the amount is large, captive feeding costs food and trouble, free-range breeding is afraid of losing, and I am afraid of eating vegetables in other people's vegetable fields. After all, the general farmhouse is surrounded by vegetable gardens, which farmer does not rely on the ground to eat, if the chicken is scattered, it will run around, if it is pulled to someone's vegetable field, a piece of hard-planted vegetables or vegetable seedlings are scrapped.

The most important thing that affects the enthusiasm of farmers to raise chickens is that chicken plague! That's a death, and the whole village will be affected, and the disaster may go even further, and there will be no return! Farmers don't know the importance of hygiene, and they don't know what prevention and control measures are, so it is safest to raise a few fewer and improve their lives, and they don't need any capital. The next eggs are used to give gifts, or the male owner who makes a lot of effort to eat some supplements, or the child is sick and hungry to taste one!

Therefore, if you want chickens, you either deliberately take the eggs to find someone who has a chicken nest (not all hens can hatch eggs, so it must take the initiative to lie in the nest and not come out, and the body temperature rises), and ask others to help hatch the eggs; Either that's the case, try your luck and come across the one that sells.

Of course, there are also specially hatched chickens for sale.

Pei Yao walked up to the mother-in-law who sold the chicken and asked, "Grandma, how big is this little chicken?" ”

Grandma was a little verbose: "Just hatched out of seven days, raised hard before taking it out, these are hens hiding and secretly laying eggs to hatch in the nest, or then you can't buy chickens!" ”

Seeing that she is small, Grandma bullied her for not knowing how to do it, in fact, there are few chickens in winter, and there is nothing to feed in winter. Even some hens are sold, because they don't lay eggs in winter and eat food.

Pei Yao didn't care about the old man, and asked, "Grandma, how much do you have here?" ”

As soon as the old woman heard the price, she was interested in buying it, and her smiling toothless mouth saw the gums: "5 Wen one, a total of seven 35 Wen!" ”

It is very expensive, a chicken can hatch 18-20 eggs at a time in a normal nest, that is, there are some people who have not come out, the price is more than 90 Wen, the cost is 10 Wen egg money and a hen has not laid eggs for more than 20 days, generally 3.4 Wen a is about the same.

However, Pei Yao had a problem in her previous life, that is, she couldn't help but sympathize with the old, sick and weak when she saw the old, sick and disabled.

I don't say that I have more money than others, I just think it's about the same, don't worry so much, even if I care about it, it's nothing to myself, but I feel that my conscience is uneasy, and I am not happy to save money, so I am even happier to let this kind of person earn something.

It's not that she's stupid to give money away, but as long as she doesn't think it's too much, or it's worth the money.

She was also told by her grandmother to be big, but she couldn't change it! Anyway, if you can't help much, just help!

Pei Yao helped the old woman put the chicken into her basket and paid 35 yuan, seeing the old woman's face smiling like a chrysanthemum, she was also happy for her! Do a good deed every day!

Ready to go back, Pei Yao walked quickly to the meat stall where the stall was being closed and bought two big pig bone sticks for Duoduo to grind his teeth.

Chen Jiajia's home

Jiajia and her mother were seizing all the time to help Pei Yao make winter clothes, when they suddenly heard a sharp female voice at the door: "Yo! Is this to find a son-in-law or a man! Why are the dowry gifts given! As he spoke, he threw himself at the bed, reaching out to pull the most expensive piece of shirt fabric on the bedside table!

Chen Jiajia blocked the front with an arrow step, and shouted excitedly: "Second aunt, what are you doing!" It's someone else's, don't move! "My voice is a little broken, and my nervous heart is beating fast! The little apple face is flushed! It's not that she's rude, it's that her second aunt has too many criminal records!

I saw that her second aunt looked mean, and as soon as she pouted, she reached out to pull the clothes on Jiajia's shoulders to pull her away, and her mouth was not clean: "What's wrong!" What's wrong! I heard that there are wild men in your house today, I'll see what has been sent and check for you! ”

Seeing that she was getting more and more excessive, Jia Jia Niang He Chen's face was also angry, and she was sitting on the edge of the bed, so she stood up: "Your mouth is cleaner in the second family!" What nonsense do you talk in front of juniors! Who are you listening to about savage men, let's face to face! That's the little girl on the set who takes a fancy to our craftsmanship and wants to order clothes! She's just pretending to be a man! ”

Hearing He Chen's voice standing up, Jiajia's second aunt was startled! Some of them turned around and said: "The village says so, you go and find it, you have a wild man to send something, but you have to honor your grandmother!" You have to do your filial piety for your dead ghost man! She actually heard from the flowery-eyed woman in the village who was enjoying the cool air and said that she saw two people coming here, one of them was like Jiajia.

Hearing her keep swearing, Jiajia couldn't stand "Wow! "Cry out!" You get out! I don't allow you to scold my mother, my mother is still sick, and she doesn't even have money for medicine! These things are all custom-made by others to put here, and there is less to accompany! Every time you have something, you take it away, and you don't let us live! Woo..."Jiajia cried and hiccuped, and her words were incoherent.

The second aunt didn't give up: "What are you talking about, it's like I took a lot of things from your family, you can't honor your grandmother, why are you so picky!" ”

The child was crying sadly, her second aunt was still scolding, looking at the four walls of her family, He Chen was also anxious, picked up the scissors at hand, held them hard in her hand and glared at her second aunt angrily: "What good do we do if you force us to die, the house is also for you to live in, the land is also planted for you, Jia Cheng is the only son of a big house and you are also forced to fight as a soldier, and you are left with our mother and daughter to eat by hand, you also want to stir up the yellow!" ”

"Do you want both of us to die at your doorstep!" He Chen's can't learn to scold the street, this is the heaviest thing she has ever said!

Her second aunt was a little frightened when she saw He Chen's face pale, unable to stand still, and holding the scissors tightly with green tendons in her hands.

I didn't go to grab the fabric, and moved to the door: "Look at what you say, I'm just coming over for her milk!" What doesn't die! After speaking, he unwillingly glanced at the cabinet blocked by Jiajia, and went out with a mutter, it seems that he can't give up, and he is going back to spread rumors or want to recruit!

Seeing her go out, He Chen's spirit was relieved and shook a little, Jiajia hurriedly supported her and took the scissors, crying: "Mother, what should we do?" ”
