Since a Luhua chicken began to lay eggs at home, it didn't take two days for the other one to lay eggs, Jinwen collected the eggs for fear of being damaged again, so he directly made a bowl of egg drop soup, and the family ate it at night. For the next period of time, the three chickens laid two eggs a day, Jinwen wondered for a long time, only to know that the three chickens turned out to be two hens and one rooster, and the rooster would not lay eggs, so every time she saw the rooster come to eat bran rice, she wanted to drive it away, just eat food and not lay eggs, hum!

Jin Wen put a small basket behind the door of the stove, and put the eggs in it every day, and counted them from time to time, one, two, three, four...... Seventeen, huh? Jinwen counted for a long time this day, and there was one less, sixteen yesterday, and two today, it should be eighteen, she took out and counted them one by one, but there was still one less, "Brother Huzi, there is one less egg at home." ”

For four days in a row, there will be one less egg every day, Jinwen is heartbroken, if she catches the egg thief, she must be beaten hard.

"Will it be eaten by Xiao Hei? It goes to that place every day, and it's calling every night these days. ”

"No, Xiao Hei is very obedient, and he won't eat eggshells, there are no eggshells here." Xiao Hei has been raised for more than half a month, has grown up a lot, every day is Jinwen fed it to eat, so I like to follow Jinwen's feet the most, every day rice soup and vegetable soup, when there is meat, Jinwen will secretly take a small piece to feed it, the long round bulge is like a meat ball, very humane, Jinwen goes out with the back, if Jinwen goes out with a basket or something, put the basket on the ground and let it look good, it will lie on the edge of the basket to guard, where it will not go, with its courage, Jinwen is not afraid at night.

"I know, it's not Xiao Hei, and no one at home has taken it, it must be a mouse, look here, there are still seals." Wang Rui turned around the edge of the basket a few times, and found that there were some footprints on the threshold, and there were sawdust on the edge of the wooden threshold.

"Mouse? Why are there rats at home? Hurry up and find a place to hide, get rid of it. No, the rat has no hands, and there are no broken eggshells on the ground, how can you steal eggs? ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the mouse doesn't come out during the day, let's catch it together at night."

"No, it's going to bite?"

"Rats steal eggs, I heard it's fun, don't you really want to watch it?"

Jin Wen has never seen a mouse stealing things, in the end he is still curious, and at night he discussed with Wang Rui to guard the stove to see how the mouse stole it, Wang Yuanshan saw the two of them making trouble, and instructed him to be careful not to catch a cold, and let himself go into the house.

Wang Rui asked Jinwen to go back to the house and sleep first, and then he came to call her. As soon as Xiao Hei screamed that night, Jinwen didn't need Wang Rui to call her, she quietly went out of the house in her clothes, Wang Rui pulled her to the small window of the stove room, looked at the stone on the ground, and saw a mouse lying on its back on all fours, holding an egg, and the other mouse bit its tail and dragged it, seeing that it was going to be dragged to the corner of the stove house, Wang Rui quickly ran to the door, pushed the door open, and hit it with a broom.

"Watch out for that egg." Jin Wen shouted, Wang Rui was stunned, the mouse lying on his back turned over and ran up along the root of the wall, Wang Rui hurriedly chased over, stepped on a rat's tail, and stepped down, trampled to death, Jin Wen screamed, covered her eyes and didn't dare to look again, she was still the first time to see a mouse, or was trampled to death, Wang Rui saw that she was scared, and hurriedly took a clamp of tongs and threw her out of the house.

In the next few days, there was no shortage of eggs.

Jin Wen remembered that Wang Yuanshan said that eggs can hatch chicks, and Ai Ai asked Wang Yuanshan how to hatch chicks, Wang Rui smiled and said, "Oh, it's terrible, Ah Wen is going to become a rich man." ”

Wang Yuanshan also laughed, and then said to Jinwen: "It's still early, these two chickens are too small, I estimate that I will get summer as soon as possible." ”

Jin Wen had no choice but to wait.

Wait until the market on the 19th, and let Wang Yuanshan take it to Qingfeng Town to sell. She saved three catties of eggs, took a bamboo basket in the morning and carefully padded a thick layer, and put the eggs on one by one. Wang Yuanshan carried the newly hunted prey on his back, carried a basket of eggs out, and went home in the evening and said that there were few people selling eggs, and one pound could be sold for fifteen yuan, and he took out forty-five yuan to Jinwen for her to keep it, "Awen, this is the first belongings you earned, put it away quickly." ”

"Dad, of course you keep the money."

"Take it, how can Dad use your money, if you don't take it, Dad will be angry." Jin Wen had no choice but to put it away.

Spring ploughing is gradually over, Wang Yuanshan naturally began to hunt in the mountains again, Wangjia Village's North Mountain and West Mountain are some hares and pheasants or something, if you want to catch a big prey, you have to go deep into the mountains and forests, so Wang Yuanshan and Wang Rui brought three days of dry food, planning to go to the depths of the foot of Beishan to wander around.

Wang Yuanshan's plan is that Wang Rui is thirteen this year, and to the fourteenth of next year just three years of filial piety expires, and he has to save some money, Wang Rui set a family when he was six years old, the family originally lived in Xiashan Village, not far from Wangjia Village, and her mother was also married out of Wangjia Village, and every year when she returned to Wangjia Village to pay New Year's greetings, she always had to sit at her own house, and later gave birth to a child in the same year with Wang, a boy and a girl, and the two families agreed to be a pianist, when Wang Rui was six years old, Wang took a pair of silver bracelets and a silver collar as a gift, and the two families were officially decided. Later, the girl's family moved to Qingfeng Town, and her own family was also eventful, and she had not been in contact for nearly two years, the girl was the same age as Huzi, and she would be fourteen next year, and he planned to give a dowry next year, and the two children would be fifteen the year after next, and they could just get married.

In addition, he also promised to help Awen find relatives, although he is not literate, but he has always respected loyal people, and Awen's child has lived at home for more than half a year, and he has long regarded him as his own daughter, thinking that if he can help her find relatives, he can also let the child live a good life, a good lady, in his own home as a village girl, in the end he has wronged the child, and he wants to find relatives and go out on the road to silver, so it is always right to hunt more and prepare more for the two children.

With these two thoughts, Wang Yuanshan thought that he would not be able to hunt any good prey outside the mountains, anyway, he would go to the mountains to hunt a few times a year, and it would be good to go a few more times this year.

Wang Yuanshan explained to Jinwen, and told her not to worry about the affairs in the field, and she didn't have to go to see it, so she had to watch the door at home. Wang Rui was afraid that Jinwen would be lonely and scared at home alone, so he greeted Da Zhuang and Osmanthus and asked them to come to Jinwen to play more during the day.

Jinwen was worried that they would have nothing to eat in the mountains, although it was only two or three days, they boiled five eggs in the morning, cooked a pot of rice, and pinched more than a dozen rice balls, fortunately, the spring day was not too hot, I heard Wang Rui say that the temperature in the mountains was lower, and the rice balls should not be broken, and she wanted to get some dried fish after doing this, Wang Yuanshan smiled and said that enough is enough, these things are enough to eat, she still fried a handful of dried fish with salt and put them in a bamboo tube for them to bring.

During this time, she learned a lot of things from the aunts and aunts in the village, such as this salt-fried dried fish was taught to her by the villagers, once she went to the river to wash clothes, just when the big strong lady saw the bamboo embroidered on her handkerchief, she praised her good looks, the big strong family raised two sons and three daughters, according to the village rules the girl married to embroider some dowry, but the big strong girl herself embroidered is not good, the three girls are naturally not much better, her eldest daughter Chunye mother-in-law is a good face, see Jinwen's embroidery work and want her to help embroider a hijab or something, At that time, it will also be considered to be decent for spring leaves. She said a few words during Ai Ai, how could Jin Wen not understand, so she asked Chunye to go to the house to do embroidery work, in fact, it was to bring things to the house, and she helped to do it.

So as soon as Da Zhuang went home and told his mother that Wang Rui had asked for his own business, her mother was in the middle of it, and directly told Wang Yuanshan and his son that they would let Chunye stay at their house at night and give Jinwen as a companion to reassure them.
