The hen that hatched the eggs finally came out of the nest, Magnolia specially sprinkled some broken rice to feed it, the hen ate a few pieces, and then 'clucked' to beckon the little cashmere chicken to eat, what a competent chicken mother!

Lu Xiaoyi stood aside and counted the little velvet chickens, but the chickens were too active, running around the yard like little yellow balls, chirping and pecking everywhere.

Yulan saw her daughter stretching out her fingers and counting them over and over again, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, I have already counted, twenty eggs hatched nineteen chicks, and there is a bad egg." ”

"Wow, nineteen chicks, so many, when it grows up, it can lay more than ten eggs a day." Lu Xiaoyi said happily.

"You think beautifully, how can all nineteen chicks survive, and when they grow up, get rid of the roosters, it would be nice to have ten hens." Magnolia watched the chick peck and smiled.

"Mother, let's hatch a few more nests of chicks, buy all the roosters, and keep the hens to lay eggs, okay?" Lu Xiaoyi continued: "Dad is working hard to make money, and Xiao Ding Xiaogeng is also growing his body, if he can eat an egg every day, not only can he take care of his body, but also get sick less, how good!" ”

Who doesn't want their relatives to be healthy, not sick and not in pain, Lu Xiaoyi said a few words to Yulan's heart, Yulan said: "Wait for a hen to hatch crazy and then hatch, the eggs at home can't be eaten for a while, you have to save to hatch chicks, you guys don't shout to eat scrambled eggs!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded, Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng also hurriedly ran over to express their determination, the movement was too big, and the chicks were scared to run around, the hen clucked and called the chicks under the wings to protect them, and a little yellow chicken was unfortunately stepped on by Xiao Geng's legs, paralyzed on the ground fluttering with small wings, chirping non-stop.

Magnolia said, "Do you have long eyes on the top of your head?" It's so careless to do anything. ”

Xiao Geng lowered his head and was pitiful and didn't dare to move.

Yulan picked up the injured chick, but said regretfully: "Look, it's only been half a day since I got out of the nest, and I lost one." ”

Lu Xiaoyi approached and saw that one of the legs of the little yellow chicken had been broken and hung softly.

"Mother, can this chicken still live?" Lu Xiaoyi asked.

"My legs are broken, and it's hard to live." Yulan handed the chick to Lu Xiaoyi, "Take it out and throw it away." ”

"Mother, don't throw it yet, let's keep it first, if we can't feed it, let's throw it away." Lu Xiaoyi handed the chicken to Xiao Ding to hold, and found a small stick and twine.

Xiao Geng's tears were wow, and he choked up: "I didn't mean to step on it." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was afraid of Xiao Geng's small bun, and comforted: "The eldest sister knows that you didn't mean it, we don't blame you, you see that the eldest sister's broken leg can be raised, and the chickens can also be raised." ”

"Really? Do you want to invite Dr. Wu to come? Xiao Geng's teary eyes burst out with hope.

"Uh~ That's not necessary, the eldest sister will tie it up." Lu Xiaoyi motioned to Xiaoding to hold the chick well, revealing the broken leg, Lu Xiaoyi carefully fixed the small wooden stick and short leg, tied it with fine hemp rope, and the poor chick's broken leg replantation was completed.

The three sisters and brothers put the broken leg chick alone in a basket to take care of it, and the daily cake crumbs and rice grains were fed without hesitation, and the chick finally survived tenaciously and became a little lame chicken.

In the blink of an eye, June 20, Lu Yong's wedding date is imminent.

The Lu family was so busy, Lu Lian wanted to come to help with a big belly, but she was stopped by Mrs. Qiu and arranged for Aunt Qiu to come.

Lu Zhong drove to the city every day, bought all the things that needed to be purchased, dragged them back again, and then went to the city to pick up people.

Lu Yong no longer goes to the city to look for work, and helps to grind rice and flour at home every day, paints windows and doors and pastes window paper, and asks cooks to borrow tables and stools, and there is a lot of odd and bits of work.

Due to Lu Yong's urgent wedding date, the Lu family's pigs were not big, and there were not a few taels of meat after they were slaughtered, so they simply paid for selling meat from the city to hold a banquet. On the twenty-sixth day, the Lu family's sedan chair was blown and beaten, and the bride was brought back to Wang Laosan's house in Shangxi Village.

The woman's family was poor, but there were many relatives, and the person who sent her relatives carried a scarce dowry and sat at five full tables.

Mrs. Lu had a dark face, rolled her eyes and stared at the woman's table.

Lu Shouzeng had a smile on his face and warmly entertained the guests.

Yulan and a few women who helped the cook, took the east and west, ran before and after, and finally did not delay the serving.

Lu Xiaoyi mingled with the children in the village, ten-year-old children, there are not so many taboos in the village, a group of little boys and girls are chasing and playing in the yard.

The village eating table is lively, and a family gives gifts, and a few people will come to eat the banquet.

Shen Qiang came late with Mrs. Shen, and after a few bites, he was attracted by a group of children, wanted to come over to play, and hated Lu Xiaoyi for smashing him last time.

Mrs. Shen stuffed a piece of meat into Shen Qiang's mouth and coaxed: "Sit down obediently, grandmother feeds you meat, you are going, beware of that wild girl hitting you with a stone again!" ”

The little fat man's temper, where can Shen Pozi guess, you let him go, he still doesn't dare to show his timidity, you don't let him go, he is itchy and unbearable, especially when he saw Lu Xiaoyi They were looking for a cannon battle, he was even more red-eyed, broke free from Shen Pozi's arms, and ran over with a fart.

It was difficult for the little fat man to have a struggle of thoughts, Lu Xiaoyi didn't think about it at all, she didn't even pay attention to Shen Qiang joining her, and she didn't even raise her eyelids.

The little fat man was even more unhappy, he blackened his face, blocked in front of Lu Xiaoyi, and asked angrily, "Why didn't you drive me away?" ”

……

"You don't hate me when I make you lame?" The little fat man continued to question.

……

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at the little fat man and said, "You have meat scraps at the corners of your mouth and vegetable leaves on your teeth." ”

The other children laughed, Shen Qiang's face was red and dripping blood, where were the vegetable leaves on his teeth, which he had only replaced in the morning, the more Shen Qiang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he snorted from between his teeth with his mouth closed: "You don't change your teeth?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi used his tongue to push the newly emerging fangs on both sides of the top and said with a smile: "My front teeth have already been replaced." ”

Shen Qiang pointed at Xiao Ding and said, "You open your mouth and I'll take a look." ”

Xiao Ding hurriedly covered her mouth, she was changing her front teeth, and she basically didn't speak outside, for fear of revealing her open teeth.

The children around who were changing their teeth, some covered their mouths, and some showed their faces with thick grins, and slowly, Shen Qiang forgot about the embarrassment, and followed Lu Xiaoyi and them to pick up the cannonball.

The banquet was dispersed and cleaned up, and Yulan took the children back to the east courtyard.

In the evening, Lu Yong came to invite again, saying that there were a lot of leftovers, and the weather was too hot to leave for a long time, so he asked the eldest brother's family to eat.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Lu had a dark face, and only showed a spring-like smile when she served vegetables to Xiao Geng.

Lu Xiaoyi took a closer look at her aunt Wang Dongmei, and saw that her skin was dark, but she was better than her delicate facial features, wearing a red cardigan and a Luo skirt of the same color, sitting in the position of Lu Yong's hand, eating in a regular manner, chewing slowly, not squinting, very formal, a pair of hands are slightly rough, and she is used to working at a glance.

Wang Dongmei sensed Lu Xiaoyi's scrutinizing eyes, looked up at her and smiled friendly, and Lu Xiaoyi also responded with a smile.

Lu Shouzeng said with a smile: "In the future, we will all be a family, although your eldest brother and sister-in-law have separated early, they have never been separated from us, if there is anything you need help in the future, just say it." ”

Lu Zhong and Yulan smiled and nodded, Yulan said gently: "My father and mother are both polite and kind people, and the second brother is even more honest and down-to-earth to take care of the family. ”

Dongmei nodded, with the shyness of a bride.

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Lu Yong on the side again, his face was as red as a berry, as if he would be bleeding when he pricked it, and he was very satisfied with the bride.

The family was happy, but Mrs. Lu didn't come to stir up the fire, I saw her shake the chopsticks in her hand vigorously, and said coldly: "When you enter the door of the Lu family, you are the people of the Lu family, and those people in your mother's family who can't get on the table don't go to provoke, as if they haven't eaten in ten lifetimes, the oil soup in the dishes is licked clean." ”

Wang Dongmei's face turned red, her head was buried lower, and Lu Yong hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say a few words, they all say that it is a blessing to be able to eat, and everyone has sent blessings, you should be happy." ”

Mrs. Lu felt that this scene was so familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally remembered that it was the same when the eldest got married, she was a mother-in-law, she stood up in front of the new daughter-in-law, and her son immediately jumped out to speak for her daughter-in-law, can she not be angry?

Mrs. Lu was about to curse with a dark face, but Lu Shou coughed twice loudly, and said coldly: "You don't have a long memory, do you?" ”

Mrs. Lu endured it, turned her head and turned her back to the second daughter-in-law, and sandwiched a few pieces of meat to feed Xiao Geng.

Lu Xiaoyi saw Yulan's eyes, and he ate in a big gulp, and went home after eating.

On the third day, when the new daughter-in-law returned to the door, Mrs. Lu locked the large and small cabinets at home, and did not prepare any gifts for Lu Yong and Dongmei, so they let the little couple go back empty-handed.

Lu Shou angrily grabbed two big roosters from the chicken coop and asked Lu Yong to take them away.

Mrs. Lu was crying and making trouble, Lu Shouzeng was too lazy to take care of her, and closed the door out of sight.

Lu Xiaoyi slipped to the west courtyard and saw Mrs. Lu sitting by the chicken coop in the corner of the courtyard, looking sad, she pulled Mrs. Lu up, "Grandmother, don't sit on the ground, beware of the dampness, it is you who suffers." ”

Mrs. Lu cried, "This family can't live, can't live!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi thought to himself that this was all done by you, if you didn't do this, the Lu family would not be separated, and the family would not be separated from you.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyi couldn't move, he brought a small bench and let Mrs. Lu sit.

"Your grandfather is a ruthless person, he has never had a good face for me, your father is also ruthless and broke up, your uncle now has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother, and your sister-in-law is also married, and I am lonely and no one cares about me now!" Mrs. Lu cried.

"Grandmother, don't look at my young age, I can see it better than you, my grandfather is good to you, you can't see it clearly." Lu Xiaoyi persuaded.

"He's good to me? He wanted to divorce me again and again, and often spoke to me ruthlessly, and today you also saw it, and gave away the chicken that I had raised for so long, and the king Laosan did not pull out the goods, and received twenty taels of dowry from my family, and bought so many tattered dowries, why did a person like him give him a return gift. The more Mrs. Lu spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she began to cry towards the chicken coop.

"Although grandfather has repeatedly said that he wants to divorce you, he has not really divorced, do you think that grandfather has always been so cruel to you? No way! There is always a reason why grandfather has a bad attitude towards you, grandmother, you think about it, why did grandfather treat you like that? ”

"He doesn't side with me, he opposes me everywhere. I want to learn from my daughter-in-law, he also has to participate, which mother-in-law in Xiaxi Village doesn't learn from her daughter-in-law, and our daughter-in-law is expensive, so she can't learn from it? Mrs. Lu said.

"Grandmother, why are you trying to bother your daughter-in-law? If you don't like your daughter-in-law, why do you let your son marry her? Didn't you spend the dowry to marry and enter the door to find yourself angry? ”

"What do you little girl know, where did you get your grandson if you don't marry your daughter-in-law?"

"Then you scold your daughter-in-law every day, can your grandson be good to you when he hears it?"

Mrs. Lu stopped talking, thought about it and said strongly: "I'm good to my grandson, why isn't my grandson good to me?" ”

"Grandmother, do you know what your granddaughter admires most about you? The granddaughter admires your courage when you open your face to fight for the Lu family, that momentum is really unstoppable! Lu Xiaoyi bragged.

Mrs. Lu's face showed a little smugness.

"Grandmother, you have always been a person who has the courage and courage to act, you look at our Xiaxi Village, there are so many people who are trying to grind their daughters-in-law, why don't you be a different person from them, others are trying to be good to your daughter-in-law, the comparison between the two will reflect your bearing."

Mrs. Lu didn't speak.

Lu Xiaoyi saw that Mrs. Lu's expression was loose, and she made persistent efforts and said: "Grandmother, my father and my uncle are both your own sons, and they are the flesh that fell from your body, and your daughter-in-law can kiss you again?" You said that you have to fight for your daughter-in-law's favor, your son is a kite in the sky, and the string is in your hand, what are you worried about? ”

"Grandmother, you are also the daughter-in-law of your great-grandmother, think about it, is it really good to be tormented by your mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Lu looked up at the sky and thought silently.

"Grandmother, my aunt will give you a grandson soon, can't you change your temper? When you have nothing to do, you hug your grandson, when you have something, let your granddaughter accompany you to quarrel, leave the work at home to your daughter-in-law, and leave the work outside the home to your son. ”

Mrs. Lu snorted twice, stood up and patted the soil on her body, and said, "Let's go, go and make leek boxes with my grandmother." ”
