"Oh, then Cher can help you!" In Dong Xue'er's memory, almost every spring, the Yun family would hatch some chickens and ducks by themselves to replace those that were no longer laying eggs.

In the countryside, not everyone can incubate eggs manually, which is also a small craft.

Some old hens will stop laying eggs in the spring for a while, and automatically start to hatch eggs in the nest, but the size of old hens is limited, and a chicken can't hatch a few eggs at all.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on artificial incubation to meet the demand.

Yun raised his eyebrows, and while choosing eggs under the lamp, he asked funny, "Oh? Could it be that Cher will also choose eggs? ”

Xue'er nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it mainly depends on whether there is a small bowl in the egg, this is the first step." ”

Yun didn't expect Xue'er to really know, so he smiled and said, "That's right, then you can help me!" ”

In fact, the first step of screening is very simple, in the farmhouse free-range chickens and ducks, will raise a few males, stimulate the female to lay more eggs, so most of the eggs will be fertilized eggs.

Therefore, the first screening is mainly to see if there is a small bowl in the egg, and in Xue'er's opinion, the spare space is reserved for the chicks and ducklings to breathe in the future.

"Mother, how many are you going to choose?"

"Fifty goose eggs, fifty duck eggs, one hundred eggs, fifty black chickens and fifty grass chickens."

"So much?" Cher sighed.

"It's not much, and we don't necessarily choose all of them that can hatch cubs.

In the process of incubation, some will be eliminated, and even if they hatch in the future, some will not be able to break the eggshell. And in the process of raising, there will be some that can't be raised. ”

After a pause, Yun continued: "This year, my mother is pregnant with your younger brother, and I will kill a few old hens during confinement, and there will not be many hens left to lay eggs at that time." ”

Xue'er nodded: "Yes, my younger brother still needs to eat milk when he is born, if my mother doesn't eat more good food, my brother's milk will not be enough." ”

"When my mother gave birth to you, I didn't have a good confinement, and I heard the old man say that if you give birth to a boy and do a good job of confinement, the diseases on your body will be taken away. This time, my mother must make up for it. Yun said as he stretched his eyebrows while choosing eggs.

When she gave birth to Dong Xue'er, because she was a girl, Yun was embarrassed to eat more good things, and she only ate three chickens and a hundred eggs during her confinement.

Over the years, she often complained when she scolded the original owner, saying that the diseases on her body were all left by the original owner back then, and they were all caused by washing diapers by herself in the winter when she gave birth to her.

These can be found in Cher's memory.

"Well, this time Xue'er must take good care of her mother's confinement, and when the time comes, her mother must sit for forty days, so that her mother's illness will be cured." Xue'er said sincerely.

It's not that she doesn't remember why the original owner died, but the deceased is gone, and there is no point in pursuing it anymore.

Everyone has been young and has made mistakes, Xue'er can understand the difficulties of Dong Changhe and his wife.

Through this understanding, Xue'er found that Dong Changhe was indeed a kind and talented person in addition to Huaxin.

And Yun is also a typical rural woman, she is kind, filial, hardworking, and husband-oriented, although she is not a loving mother, but she is a woman who does her duty.

All her joys and sorrows come from her husband, and from this point of view, she is also a poor woman.

As long as she doesn't touch her nerves, she is a good mother.

"Xue'er, my mother found that you are more sensible than before during this time!" Yun said in a low voice.

Cher visibly noticed that she was choking.

She pretended not to notice Yun's abnormality, and said with a smile: "Xue'er grows up, she will have a younger brother soon, and I will take my younger brother to study and learn calligraphy in the future, and I should also look like an eldest sister."

What's more, it has not been easy for her mother over the years, she has to take care of the housework alone, she has to bear the pain of being childless, and endure the strange eyes of others, and there are not many people who can help her mother. ”

Because Dong Xue'er lives under the low pressure of the Yun family all the year round, she will not be coquettish with the Yun family at all, not to mention that she is still young, and she will not coax her mother with sweet words at all.

She tried her best to walk around the Yun family every day, afraid that the Yun family would be angry with her if she was unhappy, so the mother and daughter gradually drifted apart.

If Dong Xue'er could say more nice things and coax the Yun family more when she was alive, she would not have been beaten and scolded so much.

This is also the conclusion that Xue'er has come to after getting along with the Yun family these days. Yun's heart is very soft-hearted, as long as others say something nice to him, she doesn't know that she has sold herself.

Yun didn't expect his six-year-old daughter to understand him, and he was stunned for a while, and his tears couldn't hold back anymore.

Xue'er was startled, put down the egg in her hand, hurriedly wiped her tears with her little hands, and comforted: "Mother, did Xue'er say something wrong?" Don't cry, don't be angry, it's not good for the brother in the belly. ”

Yun Shiwa cried loudly, took Xue'er into his arms, and hugged Xue'er like that and cried silently.

Xue'er understood Yun's helplessness, and took out her little hand and slowly patted Yun's back: "Mother, don't cry, otherwise my brother will be a crying tear bag when he is born in the future!" ”

"Poof...... Giggling...... Yun let go of Xue'er, glared at Xue'er fiercely with eyes that were still full of tears, and said angrily: "You crow's mouth, your brother won't be a tear pack!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes...... What my mother said was right, it was Cher's crow's mouth. Xue'er slapped herself in the mouth, and didn't forget to tease herself.

"Cher, mother...... Mother used to treat you like that...... Mother ...... "The Yun family has rarely bowed to anyone in his life, and now in the face of his daughter, he can't say anything sorry."

Xue'er smiled: "Mother, the previous things are over, let's not mention it again." Now that my mother has a younger brother in her belly, everything has to look forward. Xue'er also hopes that her mother will have a few more younger brothers so that she can support Xue'er in the future. ”

She understands the Yun family, now is not the time, although the Yun family still owes the original body an apology, but the time she has been with the Yun family is still short, and there is still some heat at this time, so Xue'er took the Yun family's unfinished words.

"Okay, let's all look forward, but Xue'er don't worry, my mother won't beat you again in the future. This time, my mother was also afraid, I was really worried that you would hurt your head, but fortunately, Xue'er was still a smart and clever person. The Yun clan had some fearful reassurances.

Cher sighed inwardly. Although the original owner's abandonment allowed her to be reborn, she really felt sorry for the deceased Dong Xueer, and a beautiful life was given up like that.

The Yun family's awakening is still too late, if Dong Xue'er can hold on a little longer, will she get these happiness?

The mother and daughter quickly gathered the eggs to hatch, and Yun checked the eggs that Xue'er had picked out separately.
