Chapter 55: Buying Chickens
Qiao Ruxin nodded vigorously and said:
Sister, I like to eat, when I lived in the nursery's house, I never ate the eggs at home, I thought that if one day, the eggs laid by the chickens at home, I can also eat, how good it would be.
Qiao Ruxin's face was full of yearning and expectation, not to say how delicious eggs were for her, but to be qualified to eat eggs laid by her own chickens is a kind of happiness.
Okay, let's go buy chickens, buy the kind of chickens that can lay eggs as soon as they come back, and you can pick up eggs to eat every day, okay?
Qiao Ruyi felt a little unbearable in her heart, and hurriedly agreed.
Good, good-
Qiao Nina responded enthusiastically.
But—
Qiao Ruyi groaned in embarrassment
Sister, what's wrong, you say-
Qiao Ruxin asked worriedly when she heard Qiao Ruyi's words.
In the future, my sister will be busy with business and business, and she will not have the time to feed the chickens, so the matter of feeding the chickens in the future—
It's mine-
Before Qiao Ruyi finished speaking, Qiao Ruxin hurriedly replied:
Sister, don't worry, I know how to feed the chickens, in the milk house, I see that the eldest aunt has fed, and the chickens will not be hungry and thin.
Well, that's how it was decided-
Qiao Ruyi replied with a smile.
The two happily decided to go to the chicken and sheep market together.
This chicken and sheep market is not far away, walk through two streets, turn a corner again, go to the end of the road, you will arrive at the chicken and sheep market in this Shuiwan Town, it is called the chicken and sheep market, it is the villagers around Shuiwan Town to gather together, their own domestic chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep, pigs and other live animals to a place to sell, this place was not fixed before, but after the rectification of the government, it was concentrated in this place to sell. As for why it is called the chicken and sheep market, and not any other name, it is because it was originally only for the sale of chickens and sheep, and finally developed into other living animals in the family to bring them to sell. Despite this, it is still the most popular to buy chickens and sheep.
Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Ruxin walked straight up, the streets were lined with squeaky chickens, or bleating lambs, Qiao Ruyi was straight to the nearest chicken stall, this stall was three hens, the chicken feathers were very bright, the crown was bright red, standing upright, the eyes were round, clean and flexible, one by one locked in a cage, the mouth was constantly chattering on the ground to forage for food
Qiao Ruyi saw that the chicken was growing very well, so he said:
Nina , let's buy it here.
Well
Qiao Ruxin nodded in response.
Girl, do you want to buy chickens?
The peasant woman who set up the stall looked forty years old, with a simple look, and hurriedly asked when she saw that she had a customer.
Qiao Ruyi nodded and asked:
Sister-in-law, how do you sell this chicken?
A chicken costs 20 yuan, and my three chickens have been raised until it is time to lay eggs, and I didn't want to sell them, but because my mother-in-law at home was sick, I could only take them out and sell them for some medicine money.
Qiao Ruyi nodded, squatted down again and looked at the chickens in the cage carefully, and said:
That's okay, at the price you said, sister-in-law, we want two.
Since there are patients in the family, it is difficult to bargain anymore.
Girl, you see you want two, and I can't sell the remaining one outside, so you might as well take all three.
The peasant woman said again.
This-
Qiao Ruyi was a little hesitant, she originally wanted to buy two for Qiao Ruxin to raise and pick up eggs to eat, two were enough, and three seemed to be a bit much.
Qiao Ruyi looked embarrassed.
When the peasant woman saw this, she said:
Girl, if you want these three chickens, then I will charge you fifty yuan, I will sell it early, and I will go back to take care of my mother-in-law as soon as possible.
Sister, why don't we ask for it.
Qiao Ruxin pulled Qiao Ruyi's sleeve and said.
Oh well - and Shun
Qiao Ruxin nodded, raising two is also raising, raising three is also raising, just help others, thinking of this, he said:
Then we will take all three chickens, and give us this chicken cage as well, so that we can take them back.
Okay, and the chicken coop will be given to you.
The peasant woman replied with a smile,
Qiao Ruyi took out the money bag from his arms, counted out sixty yuan from it and handed it to the peasant woman.
The peasant woman took the money in her hand, counted it, and found that there were ten more cents, so she hurriedly said:
Girl, you gave me an extra ten pennies-
Sister-in-law, you just take it and go back to take care of your mother-in-law as soon as possible.
Oops, thank you, girl.
The peasant woman thanked her again and again
Qiao Ruyi didn't say more, lifted the chicken coop, and pulled Qiao Ruxin back.
Sister, why did you give her sixty wen, she said that fifty wen is enough.
Qiao Ruxin looked up with a small face and asked with puzzlement.
Fifty wen is duty, sixty wen is love, her mother-in-law is sick, because of this, let's give her sixty wen.
Qiao Ruyi patiently explained.
Sister, why don't we give more money, so that the sister-in-law can ask the doctor to get medicine for her mother-in-law?
Qiao Nina asked again.
Because in this world everything can only be done by yourself.
Qiao Ruyi said again.
Qiao Ruxin's face showed a hint of confusion.
Qiao Ruyi says:
Okay, Nina will understand when you grow up.
Qiao Ruxin nodded heavily when she heard this, and became happy again.
The two went all the way home, Qiao Ruyi released the chicken from the cage, and Qiao Ruxin went to the kitchen to pick up a small handful of millet and sprinkled it on the ground.
The three hens clucked on the ground and pecked at the millet and ate it.
Sister, look at how happy they eat.
Qiao Ruxin looked at it from the side and said with a smile.
Qiao Ruyi nodded.
Although these three chickens have just arrived in a new environment, they do not recognize life at all, and are busy pecking and eating.
Qiao Laixing came out of the back room, saw the chickens in the yard, and asked:
Sister, didn't you say that you went out with Nina to buy food? How to buy three chickens back.
If you want to eat eggs, these three chickens can lay eggs, and we can eat eggs every day in the future.
Qiao Ruyi said to Qiao Laixing with a smile.
Qiao Ruxin squatted on the ground, her eyes straight at the chickens eating.
Qiao Ruyi deliberately laughed:
Why don't we slaughter a chicken and eat it?
Qiao Ruxin heard Qiao Ruyi's words, shook her head vigorously, and said:
No, no, you can't kill chickens, keep them for eggs.
Qiao Ruyi looked at Qiao Ruxin's appearance and remembered the three little lambs raised in Qiao's village. It was also when she wanted to eat mutton, Qiao Ruxin was not happy, and when she finally gave the little lamb to Aunt Xue, she repeatedly told her to raise the baby lamb and not kill it. It wasn't until the Xue family agreed that Qiao Ruxin gave the little lamb to the Xue family with confidence.
Qiao Ruxin protected the three chickens like this, shaking her head vigorously and disagreeing to let Qiao Ruyi kill the chickens and eat the chicken. At the beginning, I couldn't give the three lambs to support them, these three chickens were destined to support them, but it was good, after all, they could lay eggs every day, and they would keep them until they were old.
Qiao Ruyi thought like this, decided not to tease her, and said reassuringly:
Okay, I'm joking with you, these three chickens don't kill, they have been raising them to lay eggs to eat, waiting for them to be old and can't lay eggs, let's also provide for them, okay?
