Chapter 90: The Uninvited Guest
On this day, Lin He was recalling the method of making soap that he had seen in a book in his previous life, and when he heard Huang's happy voice in the front yard, it turned out that the chickens in the family began to lay eggs, and there were actually four chickens that laid eggs. Of the twenty chicks caught at that time, except for two that died when they were young, and one was trampled to death by Xiaobao later, the other seventeen survived.
Now there are a few chickens began to lay eggs, that is to say, other chickens are about to start laying eggs, if the chicken can lay eggs every day, the family can pick up seventeen eggs a day, enough for a family to eat, at this time the nutritional value of the eggs produced by the chickens in their own family is very high.
These chickens have not been fed much food in the house since the beginning of spring, they are put out to find something to eat during the day, and at night they will wait for them to come back to feed some wheat bran mixed with wild vegetables, and then the chicken cage can be closed, Lin He saw that the eggs are still a little small, Lin He once saw in the book, saying that if you feed the chickens with things like reptile insects, the eggs of chickens will be particularly large.
Things like insects are very good to survive, Lin He knows that reptiles such as silkworms and earthworms can be raised by themselves, and when the time comes, it is very good for ducks and fish to eat, but Lin He is a little afraid of such insects, so she gave up this idea. She would tremble all over her body just thinking of a whole bunch of them, no matter how good she was.
Huang fed these chickens very carefully every day, and the chickens were able to lay eggs, and Huang was very happy. In the future, this egg can be eaten by the people in her own family, and it can be sold if you can't finish eating, and it is also a small income, plus in a few days He'er said that she would buy some ducks to feed back, and then the duck eggs can also be eaten, and He'er likes to make some food, and now these are enough for her to toss, thinking of these, Huang's heart is even more energetic.
Lin He looked at his mother's happy smiling face, and his heart was also very happy, it turned out that this was the so-called happiness of the people he cared about. You'll be happier. Lin He looked at Huang. Her mother is not a person with big ambitions, she has never thought of what her family will become, I am afraid that her family can be like this, she is quite satisfied.
Although she is used to living a hard life, she doesn't pay much attention to money, as long as she lives a worry-free life, she is very satisfied. Like Lin He with these little ointments, if everyone can be busy, the Huang family is generally reluctant to help, she is not too interested in these things, if she chooses, she would rather feed the chickens every day. Feed the pigs, do some embroidery, and live an ordinary life.
Originally, Lin He planned to let the Huang family help make the paste after Dabao left, but Lin He didn't particularly like to do this, and he didn't force her, anyway, there were not so many people now, so he and his aunt for the time being. In a few days, the Zhou family will take Lin Chen Xiaojun to do the trick.
A few small ones heard that chickens were able to lay eggs. I was also very happy, my family used to be poor. If you don't have chickens and ducks, you can't experience this kind of happiness. Just when they were all happy about these little things, an uninvited guest came to the house, Qingshan's daughter-in-law Song Yuemei actually carried a basket to the courtyard, Song Yuemei has never been to Lin He's house since she got married, and the people in Lin He's family have never been to their house, but occasionally I will hear Dajiang and Erniu say that Song Yuemei does not get along well with the He family at home.
Song Yuemei wore a silk dress of lotus color, and her hair was coiled up with a silver hairpin, which was more charming than when she got married, and the Lin He family was a little surprised when they saw her coming, Song Yuemei called out, "Erniang, you are all at home." ”
Huang responded with a smile, and stepped forward to welcome Song Yuemei in, Song Yuemei saw the house in Lin He's house, this bright and bright courtyard, a row of large brick walls, and the houses were cleaned up, looking from here, although the doors and windows were closed, they could imagine the spaciousness and cleanliness inside, and their eyes showed a look of envy.
Lin He looked at Song Yuemei and looked at her house and was stunned, and said, "Sister-in-law Yuemei, you are coming to our house for the first time, why don't you usually come to play?" ”
Yuemei reacted and said with a smile, "This is He'er, I saw it last time, and it looks really watery." By the way, Erniang, it seems that I haven't come to your house for so long, this is a little careful, don't dislike it. After speaking, he handed the basket in his hand to the Huang family.
Lin He peeked into the basket. There were more than a dozen eggs, two packs of snacks, and a piece of coarse cloth with flowers. In Dajiang's family, the etiquette is not small, is this Song Yuemei really just here to hang out, and it is unlikely that she will shoot so hard.
Lin He didn't make a sound, Huang beckoned Song Yuemei to sit down on the pier in the courtyard, and chatted for a while, it was all gossip and nothing special, chatting between women was nothing more than talking about embroidery, chickens at home, piglets, etc., but Lin He found that Song Yuemei didn't seem to be particularly interested in these, and was a little absent-minded.
Lin He was even more sure that Song Yuemei must have something to do, and sure enough, after chatting for a while, Song Yuemei said, "Erniang, in fact, I came today to ask you for help, and I hope you can help me." ”
Huang Shi sighed in his heart, he wouldn't be here to borrow money again, but he immediately denied this idea in his heart, if he borrowed money, it should be He Shi's to borrow it, how could it not be Song Yuemei's turn, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Erniang, you also know the situation in our family, there are many mouths for eating at home, but there are few people doing things, and the days are a little sad, I want to go to Erniang's house with Qingshan to help with some work, like the aunt and uncle, we don't ask for much money, we are younger than the aunt and the uncle, we have strength, and we will definitely do faster and better than them."
Lin He heard Song Yuemei's words, and thought in his heart that this Song Yuemei was really powerful, no wonder she could force the He family to lose in her hands, these few words, the meaning contained many layers. First of all, he expressed that the current environment in his family is relatively difficult, and then that since Lin He's family invited the second aunt and the two to do things, they can also come, and said that they are young, and it must be more cost-effective to invite them than the eldest aunt.
Huang didn't expect this to be the case, but she knew in her heart that this Song Yuemei was not a good stubble, maybe it would be more difficult to speak than He's, Qingshan was not very good at doing things, and she was a little lazy, not to mention that her family was full now, and she didn't need to invite people, even if she wanted to invite them, she wouldn't invite them.
After thinking for a while, Huang said, "Yuemei, I won't tell you, don't look at the surface of our family's life, but it's just an empty shell, the fish pond that the family recently opened, and the riverbank field bought are all an expense, although it is to invite your aunt and her family to help, but whether there is any monthly money in the past few months is not good, if there are not many fish in the fish pond, there may not be much salary." ”
Huang rejected Song Yuemei so tactfully, deliberately saying that the Hongyun family was here to help, and did not explain how much money to give, I am afraid that Song Yuemei will not do anything if she sees that there is no money, and sure enough, when Song Yuemei heard Huang say this, her face changed, and she said, "That's it, I don't know, I thought you were still short of people here, so I wanted to help." If there is no shortage of people, forget it. ”
Song Yuemei was a little disappointed, she wouldn't be stupid and would do things without money, so she chatted with the Huang family for a while and went back. (To be continued.) )
