"Auntie, is the chick coming out? I seem to hear the chick's voice......"

In the early morning of this day, the sky was as blue as water, and the breeze was blowing, Gu Changning came to the chicken coop with chicken food, and suddenly heard a few small "chirp" sounds, and immediately ran to Yang Huiyun with wide eyes to ask.

Yang Huiyun counted the days, and felt that it was indeed almost time for the chicks to hatch: "It should be, it has been almost twenty days since the beginning of hatching eggs, maybe the first chick has really hatched, let's go, let's take a look." ”

"Uh-huh." Gu Changning went to the backyard with Yang Huiyun.

When the two arrived in the backyard, the "chirp" sound that Gu Changning heard seemed to be louder than before.

"Chicks have indeed hatched, you see." Yang Huiyun stood next to the chicken coop and looked carefully, and suddenly pointed to the straw and said.

Gu Changning followed A-Niang's words, and after a while, he found a fluffy little guy in that area.

"It's really true!" Gu Changning said happily, "What about the other eggs?" Have they all hatched? ”

"It should also hatch in the next few days."

"That's good." Thinking that the forage for going up the mountain to cut would increase in the future, Gu Changning was in pain and happy.

Since the first chick hatched, Gu Changning had his own chicks in his heart, thinking that in the near future, the family would receive a lot of eggs every day, and his heart was so beautiful that he was bubbling, and even Chen Shuang and the others could see the joyful appearance.

"Why are you in such a good mood today?" Chen Shuang couldn't help but ask.

"The first chick hatched in my house this morning came out of the shell! Of course I'm in a good mood! Gu Changning said with a smile.

"Your family only hatched today? I came out of my house two days ago. Hearing this, Xing'er took over the conversation.

"Huh? Is it? Then why didn't you say it two days ago? Gu Changning asked.

"What is there to say about this, the more it hatches, the more forage it needs to be fed......" Xing'er thought of this, and felt very desperate in her heart, and the whole person suddenly froze, like a frosted eggplant, that weak appearance, which made people smile again.

"Anyway, I have to go up the mountain to cut the hay every day, and I don't care about cutting a little more." Gu Changning was still in a good mood to persuade.

Although this is the reason, it still can't stop the joy in her heart.

There is no other reason because chicken is also expensive.

A live chicken costs eighty wen a piece, it is impossible to buy it, you can only raise it yourself, the more chicks hatched in this litter, it means that the more you can make up for A-Niang's body after you grow up.

How can this be in a bad mood?

Of course, this also means that she has more things to do every day, but Gu Changning said that she is fearless, in the previous life, she could keep the young lady's yard in order, and this life is no exception, she will arrange everything properly and try her best to be perfect!

"Alright, I'm not going to talk to you, I have to go home." Meng Yaqin, who was sitting in the middle of several people, suddenly stood up and said, with a smug look on her face that she couldn't suppress, "My aunt went to the town today, and she said that she wanted to buy a piece of fabric that was fashionable for the young girl in the town to make clothes for me, and she should be back now, I have to go home early." ”

"Oh, then you can go quickly." When Xing'er heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, afraid that she would delay the time to go home.

After Meng Yaqin left with a happy face, Xing'er looked up at the sky and said enviously: "It's so good, it's not a New Year's festival or something, Yaqin Niang also made new clothes for her......"

Although Chen Shuang didn't speak, there was obviously a look of approval on his face.

Several of you were wearing old clothes from several years, all of which were picked up from my brothers and sisters, and the clothes were washed until they faded, but as long as they could still be worn, the clothes would have to be passed on.

Some people in the village are poor, and they have to wear them even if they are covered in patches.

The one Gu Changning was wearing was better, last year because the family was going to build a new house, Yang Huiyun was happy and made her a few new clothes, so she naturally didn't have to pick up Gu Huai'an's clothes to wear.

But the others were not, not only patched in inconspicuous places, but even the cuffs were frayed.

Because everyone didn't say anything, they all longed for new clothes to wear in their hearts, so naturally they were even more envious of Meng Yaqin.

Maybe it was because this incident brought a little shock to everyone, the voice gradually became quieter, and the atmosphere was not as hot as when Meng Yaqin was there before.

"I see it's almost time, I should go back to help my mother cook, I'll go first." Not long after Meng Yaqin left, Chu Chu also stood up and said.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was no soul in this smile, and it looked very far-fetched.

Gu Changning only glanced at Chu Chu, and immediately understood what she was minding.

Gu Changning himself is not the kind of person who pays attention to external objects, so he can't quite understand everyone's behavior of secretly fighting for these things.

Judging from her concept, of course it is good to have new clothes, and it doesn't matter if you don't have them, anyway, no one is here like this, and she is not the only one who is small and picks up big clothes.

However, Gu Changning thought about it and seemed to be able to understand it again.

When she was eight years old, she didn't have the consciousness of loving beauty, so naturally she would wear whatever her mother wore for her.

But this year's ten-year-old Chu Chu and Meng Yaqin are different, the little girls at this age already know that they love to be beautiful, plus their looks are not bad, who doesn't want to stand out and become the most beautiful girl in Xinghua Village, of course they will compare other girls with themselves in their selfish hearts.

And once you compare the one who loses, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

As for Gu Changning, when she reached the age of Aimei, her family suffered a catastrophe, she voluntarily sold herself into the house, she was a third-class maid who did hard work and miscellaneous work at the beginning, and her food and clothing were compared to other subordinates, everyone was the same simple hair ornament, the same coarse cloth clothes, and there was a lot of work every day, who would care if it was beautiful or not.

Only those maids who have been promoted to the second class and have the opportunity to serve in the inner courtyard have the opportunity to show their faces in front of their masters.

Thinking of this, Gu Changning sighed in her heart, her rebirth actually changed the fate of her family, why not change herself?

Just as she was wandering outside the world, the rest of the people nodded at Chu Chu, who was about to leave, and responded, "Okay." ”

Not long after Chu Chu left, as the sun gradually moved to the west, the rest of the people looked at the hour and went back one by one.

After saying goodbye to them and breaking up, Gu Changning turned around and walked towards his house.

On the way back, I thought that my brother would buy some pork after school today, and I was happy, and the soles of my feet walked briskly as if I had stepped on Hot Wheels.

The first month of Gu Shan's death was a period of filial piety, and they couldn't drink alcohol and eat meat, so they ate vegetarian dishes for a month.

Later, although it was said that it was out of the filial piety period, but in such a situation at home, a penny was eager to be broken into two pennies to spend, and Gu Huaian and Gu Changning sensibly did not ask for it.

And Yang Huiyun, in order to prevent the need for money in the future, no longer cut a piece of pork and come back for dinner after two or three days like Gu Shan did when he was there.

is calculated carefully, except for the pheasant sent by Uncle He, and a small bowl of chicken from Aunt Chunhua, they have only eaten meat twice in the month after their filial piety.

Today, Gu Huai'an said that he wanted to buy a piece of meat back, also because the three books he copied last month had been delivered to the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and he got more than 100 yuan.

Originally, Yang Huiyun was unwilling, she wanted to save the money and save it for future use.

Later, it was Gu Changning who persuaded her.

In fact, Gu Changning didn't say anything, she just told Yang Huiyun that only if she raised her body well, her younger brother could be born healthy and healthy, and the money matter could be slowed down, anyway, there are no big expenses at home now.

When Yang Huiyun heard this, she felt that there was some truth, so she didn't refuse again, and the matter was settled.

And when Gu Changning left home to go to school in the morning, Gu Changning specially told his brother to buy a few big stick bones with meat removed in addition to buying meat, and she was going to use it to make soup.

It was also in her previous life that she learned that there were places where only bones were used to make soup.

In fact, every household will make soup, but the bones with meat are used for one time, the second is that the soup is too long, and the cost of firewood is more, and the third is that the soup is not full, so the average person rarely cooks soup.

It is only those big families who don't have to worry about their daily livelihoods, and there are groups of subordinates to serve, so that those leisure and leisure can make the kitchen have a few more bowls of soup.

It is precisely because of this that the price of the big stick bones that have been removed from the meat is extremely cheap, of course, this is relative to the price of meat, a pound of pork costs 30 yuan, and a bone only costs 3 yuan.

said that it was cheap, and it was almost worth the price of a pound of rice, so few people bought it.

After all, a pound of rice can still fill the stomach, and the soup cooked by this bone will be drunk in two or three clicks, and it won't matter at all, who is willing to buy this.

Gu Changning would think of buying bones and coming back to make soup, because she had heard other people in the house say that drinking soup made of bones is very nourishing for the body, she couldn't help but think to herself, she can't let A-Niang eat meat every day, so it's always okay to drink soup made with bones, right?

She told her brother about this idea, although Gu Huaian didn't know if it would work, but he was obedient to what he said to his sister now, so he did it without any objection.

This is the reason why Gu Changning is so excited at this moment.

When Gu Changning went back, Gu Huai'an hadn't returned, so she went to work on herself first, and when Gu Huai'an came back, she took the bag of things and took them to the kitchen to deal with.

Gu Changning and Gu Huai'an both had their own things to do, and Yang Huiyun sat alone in the house making small clothes.

Halfway through, Yang Huiyun suddenly stopped, put the small clothes and the needlework basket on the small desk on the couch, got up and went to the cabinet in the corner, opened the cabinet door, reached out and groped in it for a while, then took out a wooden box, sat back on the couch, put the wooden box on the small desk, and observed for a long time.

This is a wooden box made of rosewood, purple and black in color, and it looks like it is made of fine wood.

The wooden box is intricately made, with lifelike carvings and distinct leaves, apparently by skilled craftsmen.

Looking at the appearance of this box, it can be sold for at least one or two taels of silver.

Something in a box like this is certainly worth a lot.

Yang Huiyun touched the box a few times, but finally it was not opened, she re-stuffed the box back the way it came, and then slowly sat down at the desk and sighed lightly.

That's the only relic that A-Niang left her, so if you can not move it, you should not move it first.

Yang Huiyun sat on the couch in a daze, and it wasn't until Gu Changning's crisp voice called her to eat in the courtyard that she sorted out her complicated emotions, got up and walked to the door.

If the winter vegetable planting is not successful, she can only use this box.

Although Gu Changning planned everything in detail, she was afraid that if the plan failed, she would not be too disappointed if she had a preparation in advance.

Yang Huiyun stabilized her mind, and went to the main hall of the South House without the slightest abnormality on her face.
