Chapter 20: Returning at Night
The four of them surrounded the chicken coop and looked at the tender yellow chickens, who were worried about feeding the chickens. Have you ever fed your chicks?
No.
No one has ever raised a chick. How to feed the chickens has become a major problem for the Su family. Li Dan sent a chicken coop, but didn't tell them how to raise it.
If you can't even feed yourself, how can you feed the chickens. What to give it to eat?
"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and our family is a family of six that is difficult for chickens." Su Shan said with a smile.
Su Lingyu turned her head to look at her mother, as if asking Haven't you raised it yet?
Touching San'er's sight, Su Zhang's family was a little shy, "Father and mother and your grandmother live in the city all year round, and they have eaten countless chickens. This chick has really never been raised. ”
Su Chong shouted into the house: "Grandma, you go to the countryside all the year round, haven't you seen how others raise them?" ”
"I didn't pay attention! It was a day out of the city and into the city, and I hurriedly collected some of the food I needed and went home. They have never been seen feeding their chicks. ”
"Ask?" Su Lingyu said.
Indeed, you have to ask, but who is going? Who to ask? The Li family?
Su Shan and Su Zhong looked at each other, and they couldn't wipe their faces to feed the chickens and ask others. None of them went.
Su Zhang's thin skin, she didn't want to go. But none of the children in the family went, so she had to go. "Wait for tomorrow when my mother goes to do the laundry, ask those aunts, maybe they are willing to teach."
That's all there is to it.
When the sun set on the mountain and the sunset occupied half of the sky, Li Ying came from the other side of the mountain with a small urn in her arms.
The little feet wearing green shoes trotted all the way through the trail and came to Su's house, with beads of sweat on the tips of their hair, gasping and saying: "This is yellow eel blood, Daddy said that it is beneficial to Mrs. Su (honorific title), give it to Mrs. while it is hot." ”
Su Zhang took the small urn, and the small blue and black urn contained half a bowl of yellow eel blood.
A yellow eel can't get a mouthful of blood, and the blood of the yellow eel is more replenishing than the meat of the yellow eel. The Li family can send such a good thing, this is a great affection.
Su Zhang didn't know what to say, only endlessly moved.
Xianggong makes friends all year round, and there is always a good one in ten! This good brother can send charcoal in the snow, which is really helpful.
I don't know when I will be able to repay this kindness!
Su Lingyu smiled indifferently, why is it difficult to repay the kindness, just take the Li family to make a fortune in the future.
In the voice of her mother's thanks, she climbed down the bench and took Li Ying's hand.
Seeing Li Ying bow her head, she pulled Li Ying to the chicken coop woven with bamboo strips, and asked her sister in a small milk voice: "Are they...... What to eat? ”
This glutinous milk sound surprised Li Ying, firstly, she was surprised that the voice was good, and secondly, she was surprised that the third son of the Su family could speak.
Children of the same age, but they can call their fathers and grandmothers, and the third son of the Su family can actually say long sentences, which is really amazing.
Li Ying touched the top of Su Lingyu's hair, "San'er is smart!" Talking. ”
"It's not surprising that the prodigy of Shimizu Village can speak at the age of two, memorize poems at the age of four, and write chapters at the age of six. Now it is Liang Guancheng, the most famous showman. ”
Su Zhang said with a smile, and as he spoke, he stuffed the monkey mask to Li Ying, and said, "Thank you for your trip, thank you for your aunt, thank you for your father, and when your Uncle Su comes back, I will personally come to thank you." ”
The red, white and black monkey mask immediately attracted Li Ying's attention, and she couldn't hide her joy, "Thank you, auntie." ”
"These chicks can eat everything, just let them out, let them find insects to eat, and feed some rice bran at night. Very well raised. ”
"Thank you." Su Lingyu thanked him and turned away from Li Ying's magic hand to avoid the danger of being pinched in the face.
"It's time for me to go back." Saying that, Li Ying beckoned and ran away with the small urn in her arms.
…………
The barking of the dog woke up the sleeping people, and the villagers did not think so, turned over and continued to sleep.
Su Zhang was very scared, she heard footsteps. There was no wall outside, no fence, and if some bad guy came and took San'er's donkey, or took away something. That's a big loss.
San'er's voice came from next door, "Mother, don't be afraid." I heard San'er crawl out of bed and slap his brothers in the face.
Su was tired after a long day, and he could sleep when he lay down, and often slept until dawn without hearing footsteps. I was woken up by my sister in a blur.
"Huh? Three? ”
"Someone's coming."
"Ho-ho" the donkey barked twice.
Su Chong was awake, but his body was uncontrollable, and he was a little slow to get up. Roll over and get out of bed, take out a kitchen knife under the bed, if it is a thief, he will not hesitate to cut it.
Su Lingyu took the first step and leaned on the crack of the door to look out. Su Zhong followed behind her, leaning on the crack in the door and looking out.
Seeing that there was a wide back scooping water outside to wash his feet, Su Lingyu's hanging heart let go. "Yes, Daddy."
When Su Zhang, who was worried next door, heard this, his face was happy, he climbed out of bed, put on his shoes, lit an oil lamp and opened the door to welcome his returning husband.
Su Chong opened the door, took a look at his father, yawned, picked up his sister and went back to sleep.
"Can you eat it?"
"I ate a little at Lao Litou's, and my stomach was empty all the way back. Is there anything to eat? "No, you don't need to make a fire, you don't have to work in the middle of the night."
"There are two taroes, let them cool."
"It can be done. I'll go see my mother first. "Mother, are you awake?"
Su Li in the room didn't get up, but woke up. When a person is old, she can't sleep for a long time, and all dogs barking and roosters can wake her up.
"I'm back, what happened?"
"No, I didn't dare to go far, I didn't meet anything. Sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
After appeasing his mother, he went to the children's house again. The two sons spread out to sleep, your hands beat me, and my feet pressed against you.
When the children grew up, they couldn't sleep in small beds, so they had to make them a big bed.
Touching his sons, Su Chengqi walked inside, opened the curtain and saw San'er who was in his heart. San'er's sleeping posture is honest, with his little hands pressing the small quilt, and he is well-behaved.
Su Chengqi brought the oil lamp closer, and saw San'er's face clearly, Xiao Tu was put down, his hair was fluffy and fluffy, and he was really cute. It's just that San'er has lost a lot, and the flesh on his face has decreased.
Alas! There are many disasters and difficulties, and adults suffer and children suffer.
Pinching San'er's hand, Su Chengqi quietly left and closed the door.
Su Lingyu, who was in the dark, turned over and fell asleep, stretched out his little feet, pressed the small quilt between his legs, and held the small pillow in his arms. She's the one with two pillows.
Su Chengqi ate two small taro, barely cushioned his stomach, was served by the lady, changed into comfortable clothes, and listened to the lady tell the story of the recent events.
"Brother Li has a heart, I'll thank you tomorrow. Drop by and take a look at the fields, and then go out after finishing the work in the fields. Next time I come back, it's time to harvest the paddy. ”
Stuffed 200 big money into the lady's hand, "This is the money earned on this trip, and the family has worked hard." ”
"Who in this family doesn't work hard? It's you who work hardest. "Whose father-in-law hurts, she feels sorry for her father-in-law.
"After a year or two of hard work, we will run more roads to save some money, and we will move into the city to live, so that the lady can live a good life."
Su Zhangshi wiped his tears, "Every copper plate is life-saving money, don't lend it indiscriminately." ”
"I know, I'm not stupid for my husband." "Rest."
