"Sixty or seventy eggs?" Chen Shuang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, "Hatching so many chicks?" How many wild vegetables do you have to cut up the mountain in a day to feed them? ”

A chicken eats not much chicken food every day, about one or two, and the chicks that have just come out of the shell eat even less, about a few dozen grams, at first glance it is not very difficult to raise a dozen, but the chicks always have to grow up.

Even according to the number of 50 chickens, one or two chickens a day, 50 chickens will eat almost five catties a day, which can take a day just to feed the chickens.

"Oh, no, my aunt didn't take a few nests of eggs to hatch, she selected the suitable ones from these nests of eggs, and it is enough to hatch a nest of chicks, how can it be possible to use several nests of eggs to hatch, and we don't have such a big chicken coop." Xing'er couldn't help but roll her eyelids when she heard this.

"So that's the case, I was scared to death, I thought that Aunt Chunhua was going to put these sixty or seventy eggs together and hatch them, thinking that your yard would be full of chickens in the future, how scary!" Chen Shuang knew that he had misunderstood, and stuck out his tongue and said.

A nest of eggs about fifteen to twenty is the best, the hatching rate is usually more than half, for experienced people like Aunt Chunhua, the hatching rate of eggs selected and hatched can also have a seven, eighty percent, you can imagine that ten chicks can not run away.

"Fortunately, my aunt wants to keep the eggs if she wants to hatch the hens, and sell the roosters to the restaurant after half a year, and there will not be many of them." Xing'er waved her hand and said casually.

Although with the addition of the four hens in the family, there may be nearly twenty chicks when this nest of eggs comes out, but she doesn't believe that the chicks hatched from this nest can all be hens.

When the time comes, raise it for about half a year, sell all the roosters, and sell the remaining hens while keeping the eggs, and then there is not much chicken food to feed every day.

"That's right." Chen Shuang thought about it and nodded.

Gu Changning listened to their conversation quietly, without saying a word, and Yang Jin didn't feel anything wrong.

The purpose of her changing the topic was so that Chen Shuang and Xing'er would not pay attention to the two women who were passing by just now, and also to save them from listening to their aunt's discussion and secretly looking at Gu Changning from time to time, Yang Jin was worried that Gu Changning would feel uncomfortable in his heart.

At this moment, seeing that Chen Shuang and Xing'er were discussing enthusiastically, and the two women had already walked away, she breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of Chen Shuang and Yang Jin's inattention, and whispered sideways: "You don't have to care about the words of those two aunts." ”

"I didn't care about it in the first place." Gu Changning blinked his eyes and replied with a well-behaved face, "The mouth grows on others, whatever others say, I have a clear conscience anyway, and I have already realized it when I confronted Aunt Zhou, this matter must not be so easy to pass, after all, there are so many people present at the time, as long as one of them tells this matter, it will soon spread in the village." ”

There is usually no entertainment in the village, except for going down to the field every day, it is to go home and tidy up the things in the yard, but whenever something happens to anyone in the village, it will soon become the talk of the whole village after tea and dinner, and it is impossible to hide it in order to relieve boredom.

"That's just as well." Yang Jin said thoughtfully.

Gu Changning's words were too old-fashioned, not like what an eight-year-old child could say.

However, Yang Jin didn't feel that there was any problem at all, it was also related to the fact that she was only two years older than Gu Changning, and she couldn't tell the difference here.

If she had been seven or eight years older, she would have noticed how incredible it was for an eight-year-old to come out of the mouth of an eight-year-old.

The two of them were talking at this end, and Chen Shuang and Xing'er were already chatting about taking care of the chicken coop and preparing chicken food every day.

Gu Changning heard that Xing'er had to prepare chicken food every day, and said in his heart, fortunately, they don't have so many chickens to feed, although the chicken coop is spacious, there are only two old hens in total, so there is no need to spend more time cleaning.

However, what she doesn't know is that there is a law in this world, called true fragrance.

The four little girls sat under the tree and chatted for a while, and before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed, and everyone saw that it was not early, and they all went home to prepare for dinner.

After saying goodbye to Yang Jin, Gu Changning walked directly to his home, preparing to go to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick a few vegetables, but as soon as he walked to the backyard, he saw A-Niang standing next to the chicken coop and looking at it, as if she was thinking about something.

"Auntie? What are you doing? Gu Changning stepped forward curiously and asked.

"Ning Ning, I'm back." Yang Huiyun turned around and glanced at the voice when she heard the voice, beckoned to Gu Changning, and motioned for her to come over, "I'm looking at these two old hens, and I always feel that something seems wrong with them." ”

"Something is wrong?" Gu Changning's mind suddenly became alert, "What's wrong?" ”

She remembered that a few days ago, the big rooster of Zhou Damian's house had just come to their yard to toss, don't frighten the big flowers and small flowers!

Hearing that A-Niang said that they were not quite right, Gu Changning was full of worries about whether the big flower and the small flower would be so frightened by the big rooster that they would not lay eggs, and hurriedly walked to the chicken shed to see.

She only remembered at this time that in the past few days, because of something in her heart, she only glanced at the chicken coop when she came to feed the big flowers and small flowers every day, and left after not seeing the shadow of the eggs, and didn't pay attention to it for a few days.

Now that I think about it, I found out that Big Flower and Little Flower have not laid eggs since the big rooster came to the house to steal food, and it has been three days!

I haven't laid a single egg for three days, and it's already serious!

Seeing Gu Changning's anxious look, Yang Huiyun couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, A-Niang teased you, the hens are fine, don't you see that they are all sitting on the straw?" ”

Gu Changning looked over and saw that the two old hens were sitting on the dark dry straw in the chicken coop, although they were sitting motionless, but judging from the heads that turned from time to time, they really didn't look sick or frightened.

Gu Changning frowned, still half-convinced, "Then why don't the big flowers and small flowers lay eggs?" I haven't picked up a single egg when I've been adding water and chicken food to them for the past few days, so I don't think it's right! ”

"Who says they don't lay eggs?"

"And where are the eggs? Or did you pick it up? Gu Changning listened to A-Niang's words and wondered.

Ah Niang and her brother knew that she had a hobby of picking up eggs, and they usually wouldn't rob her of this job, but now that she heard Yang Huiyun's words, Gu Changning felt a little surprised.

"The eggs are under the big flowers and the little flowers, because they are obscured, you can't see, do you see a pit in the middle of the straw? The egg is hidden inside. Yang Huiyun pointed to the dry straw under the big flower and the small flower and said.

Gu Changning looked at Ah Niang's movements together, and found that there was a depression where the two old hens were squatting, she blinked her eyes, and suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be that the big flower and the little flower are about to start hatching eggs?" Gu Changning was surprised.

These two old hens are specially used to lay eggs at home, although there were also nest hugging behaviors before, but children know that if they want eggs to hatch chicks, they also need to have roosters, and their family has never raised roosters, so Gu Changning has never thought about this.

Now that she was reminded by Ah Niang, she connected the big some time ago and came to this conclusion at the moment.

"A-Niang doesn't know, it should be."

Gu Changning carefully looked at the big flowers and small flowers again, and his squinted eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of ghost ideas, and he pondered in his heart.

She remembered that when she was listening to Shuang'er and Xing'er chatting, she vaguely heard them saying that it was best to put fifteen to twenty eggs in a nest of eggs.

Large flowers and small flowers can only lay one egg a day at most, sometimes one in two days, so the eggs laid in these three days are only two or three eggs at most, which is far from the number of eggs in a nest that Shuang'er Xing'er said.

"Auntie! Let's go buy a nest of eggs from Aunt Chunhua! Thinking of this, Gu Changning's heart was inexplicably a little hot, his eyes were shining and he looked at Yang Huiyun, and said with a hint of excitement.

Counting the more than 20 years in her last life, she had never seen her own hen hatch chicks, and when she thought of this possibility, Gu Changning was full of energy.

“…… Do you want to buy and hatch chicks? Yang Huiyun was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted.

"Hmm!" Gu Changning nodded, and his eyes turned to the big flowers and small flowers again.

In the last life, Big Flower and Little Flower were killed by her and her brother to make up for Ah Niang's body, but I didn't expect to see Big Flower and Little Flower hatching eggs in this life, and I felt an indescribable emotion in my heart.

In the last life, she and her brother listened to Dr. Li's words, and they cooked whatever medicine Dr. Li sent, and trusted him very much.

Even the prescription I bought, because Dr. Li said that he had made a better prescription and no longer needed to use the original recipe, it became a piece of waste paper!

In fact, in the previous life, their family spent a tael of silver to buy this ubiquitous fetal prescription was also spread in the village, but the person who said it was not Gu Changning.

Gu Changning didn't know which aunt helped to say it, but it was just A-Niang's handkerchiefs.

It was also thanks to the blessings of these aunts that the matter spread in the village.

After the spread spread, everyone talked about it, some said that their family was stupid and spent a tael of silver to buy such a thing, and some said that Dr. Li's family had no conscience, and the family also cheated the money of the women and children, and they were not afraid of going to the oil pot after death.

It was precisely because of such rumors that Dr. Li's family did not even dare to go out, for fear of being pointed at and scolded by others on the road, so they could only retreat at home to learn quail.

After all, no matter how thick-skinned you are, you don't have to be cheeky, Dr. Li's family finally couldn't stand it, so they only came to see Yang Huiyun once a month or two, and the medicine was calculated at the normal price, so they didn't dare to count one or two pennies more.

Originally, my brother Gu Huai'an didn't want Dr. Li to come to see A-Niang anymore, but later I still saw that A-Niang's condition was not very good, her face was haggard, and she had lost weight, except for her belly, she didn't look like a pregnant woman at all.
