Chapter 10: Hatching Chicks
"Osmanthus, have you discussed it? How many chicks are going to hatch! When it gets dark, let's start picking eggs, remember to prepare the eggs in advance. โ
Aunt Lin stood at the door and shouted.
"Got it, Aunt Lin, we'll send it to you when the time comes! Please let us know! โ
"What's this, it's all a village, don't forget it. I've got something to do, so I'll go first! โ
"Auntie, did you start hatching chicks tonight?"
Niu Niu tugged at the corner of her aunt's clothes to seek attention.
"Yes, happy no! Niu Niu, come, let go. The eldest aunt went to pick up the eggs and sent them over. โ
"Mother, I'll send the eggs over later! Let Aunt Lin see how many chicks can hatch, if it's not enough, let's make up for it! โ
Grandma Su looked at the eggs and nodded slightly, her daughter-in-law was doing something, she was relieved.
"Milk, how many chicks can this hatch." Niu Niu shifts the target.
"There should be four or five!"
"Huh? So little? Milk, didn't you promise me to hatch more? I've got all the bugs, so many, so many! โ
Niuniu pulled the corner of Grandma Su's clothes and was about to go to the backyard.
People are too short to tear the corners of their clothes. Niu Niu sighed softly.
"Milk, look, this earthworm is getting older."
Niuniu took the small hoe and flipped it slightly, revealing the earthworm moving underneath.
"Ah, Niuniu, this is the worm you raised! Does this chicken eat this?"
Grandma Su looked at a large number of earthworms, and her scalp was also a little numb.
In the past few days, I haven't seen Niuniu drill into the backyard, but a few boys, holding a water scoop to the backyard every day.
I thought Niu Niu forgot about it, but it turned out that those boys were doing it!
"Of course!"
"Big brother, you can catch the old hen at home!"
Niuniu saw Su Yuqing who had just entered the door at a glance, and then called with peace of mind. My own big brother!
"Okayโ"
The eldest brother said that it was a pleasure to be called.
As soon as Su Yuqing put down the old hen, the old hen rushed to the mud pit that Niuniu turned over, and she was happy to eat.
"Look, milk, I said they'd love it. Let's raise more chicks, and when the eggs are laid, we can buy a lot of snacks for the milk. โ
"I think you're looking for a snack! Little glutton, tell me, how many do you want to raise?"
"Sixteen, that's a lot of luck, isn't it? Big brother, six or six Shun. โ
Niuniu didn't hesitate at all, she had already thought about how much she wanted. Sixteen is the bottom line, it can't be less, it's okay to have more, the more the merrier.
"Yes, yes, Geely."
Su Yuqing is still very face-saving.
Seeing that Grandma Su was still a little hesitant, Niuniu increased her firepower.
"When the time comes, I will raise a little chick, and let the second brother and the third brother watch it. With things to do, they wouldn't be running around like they are now. Let them work hard, and also know that it is not easy to make money. โ
"And we don't raise much, if we raise it well this time, we will raise more next time. Make a lot of money, let grandma live in a big house, and enjoy Qingfu. โ
Niu Niu drew a big pie with her hand.
Grandma Su looked at Niuniu's little mouth and couldn't stop talking, and she was amused.
"Mother, let Niuniu try it, it's good if it is done. If you don't make achievements, you should buy a lesson, and you will know how to think more about doing things in the future. โ
The eldest aunt also saw that Niuniu really wanted to do this, and she couldn't bear to hit the child's enthusiasm.
"Okay, okay, you one by one, I can't let you raise it! Then raise it! I can tell you, when the time comes, I will beat you up if you say you don't want to raise it. โ
Grandma Su finally relented, but these words couldn't scare Niuniu. I'm going to be beaten, but there are brothers in front of me anyway.
"I'm afraid those eggs are not enough, Osmanthus, you go to the village to buy some eggs. I'll send it to Aunt Lin's house later. Go now, don't delay. โ
"Okay, I'll go. It's bothering you to watch at home. โ
"Okay, I'll still have you to explain this little thing, let's go! Go for it! โ
"Auntie, will I go with you?"
Niu Niu was a little curious about what was going on with this hatching egg.
"This is because I am afraid that my aunt will not feel at ease to do things for you, so I have to watch it myself, right?"
"Not really! The eldest aunt will do what she says, but that's good! I'm not worried about that, I'm just a little curious and want to take a look. โ
"The little mouth is so sweet! Then the great aunt, I will take you with me. โ
Su Yuqing watched everything from the sidelines, and had to sigh that Niuniu was really powerful, coaxing the family to obey.
Blue out of blue is better than blue, can't compare! Can't compare!
"Brother Yu, what are you doing standing stupidly, watering the vegetable garden."
โยทยทยทยทยทยทยท Gotcha, here it goes! โ
By the time Niuniu and her aunt bought a circle of eggs in the village and arrived at Aunt Lin's house, Aunt Lin was ready to start.
"I'm still thinking that you might have something to delay, so I'll go get it for you." Aunt Lin took the egg easily.
"Why are there so many? That's how much you're going to hatch! โ
"There are more than a dozen, these few children are also older, and it doesn't look like running outside every day, find something for them to do."
"Hello Grandma Lin!" Niu Niu shouted obediently.
"Niuniu, come, let's see which eggs can hatch chicks with Aunt Lin?"
After speaking, he led Niuniu to the house.
"This ......"
The eldest aunt wanted to speak in the back and stopped...
"It's okay, Niuniu is a child, what can you understand? Just watch the excitement! My mother is a rare girl! โ
Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law grabbed her aunt and comforted her, she didn't think there was anything about it.
The aunt's heart settled down a little...
...... in the house
Aunt Lin used a cloth to cover the windows tightly, and there was no light at all.
Then he lit a candle tremblingly and put the eggs on it one by one. Don't know what you're looking at?
"Niuniu, you see, there is a little bit of it here, and there is a high chance of hatching chicks. If you don't, you won't be able to hatch chicks. โ
Niuniu understood as soon as she heard it, there are small dots with fertilized eggs, and only with fertilized eggs can chicks hatch.
This time, the eldest aunt's luck was okay, and there were twenty small ones in the basket of eggs she brought. If nothing else, you should end up with eighteen or nineteen chicks.
For this result, Niu Niu is very satisfied...
