Chapter 321: Raising a Pet
Xiao Shuang's hand flashed, dodging Shumei's hand, "Mom, why are you like Tang Youchen to slander me like this." Am I that stupid? I don't believe that I, Zhang Shuangning, can't even take care of a chick. ”
She just ran into a wall at Xiao Youchen, and when she turned around, Shumei poured a basin of cold water on her, and she was really angry in her heart.
Just for these two people, she was angry and wanted to take the chicks back to raise.
"Stinky girl, the bigger you get, the more tempered you get, how do you speak, how can you call your brother's name?" Shumei heard that Xiao Shuangning actually called Xiao Youchen's name directly, how could she, who has always been very strict with children, tolerate such a thing that does not distinguish between young and old.
She poked Xiao Shuangning's forehead fiercely, with a somewhat angry expression on her face.
Xiao Shuangning muttered, and her unhappiness was written on her face.
Seeing this, Xiao Youchen hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Mom, since Ning Ning likes it, let her take it home and raise it!" No one knows the result until something is done, right? What's more, we have so many chicks, and this one in her hand is not bad? ”
"Hey...... How can I say that this is also a small life, I ...... All right! If you want to raise it, you can raise it! Shumei squeaked, wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally reluctantly agreed.
She was reluctant, she just felt that this was a small life no matter how she said it, and she didn't want to be tossed to death by Xiao Shuangning.
"Hmmm! Thank you, Mom! When Xiao Shuangning heard Shumei's agreement, she hugged her beloved chick cub and ran home with joy.
Children from poor families are not as good as children in the city. These chickens, ducks and geese are their pets, their friends. Xiao Shuangning is a girl after all, and it is common sense for people to like this kind of fluffy little animal.
Shumei looked at Xiao Shuangning's happiness, smiled and shook her head.
"Youchen, you should go home too! I locked the chicken shed and went back. ”
"Mom, leave it to me here, you go back first." Xiao Youchen took the key and asked Shumei to go back first.
"Okay, remember to lock the door."
"Mom, don't worry, leave it to me, I'll look around, it's the first time I've seen so many chicks, and the excitement hasn't passed yet!"
"Okay, then I'll go back and get some food first." After Shumei finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards home.
This chicken farm is separated from the home by a small road, just a few steps away, Shumei just finished speaking, and in the blink of an eye, she was already in the yard.
When Xiao Shuangning got home, she found a cardboard box, spread some straw, and put her beloved chicks in the box.
"Chick, chick, you have to be obedient, I originally wanted you to share the bed with me......" She glanced behind her, making sure that Shumei and Xiao Youchen were not there, and then lowered her voice and said to the chick: "But I really don't sleep well, if you sleep with me, I will really crush you to death." This box will be your home from now on, how about it? Isn't it comfortable? ”
She gently stroked the feathers on the chick's body, as if she was chatting with a confidant friend.
She paused, holding her chin in her hand with a thoughtful expression.
"Chick, I can't always call you Chick, can I'll give you a name? Well...... So what are you going to give it a name? After a moment, she exclaimed happily, "Why don't I call you Chenchen?" Tang Youchen's Chen, what do you think is good? Haha......"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Stinky Tang Youchen, make you angry with me! She was still muttering to herself.
At this time, Xiao Youchen happened to come back from the chicken shed, and when he heard Xiao Shuangning's laughter like killing a pig, he couldn't help but ask: "Ning Ning, why are you so happy?" Tell me about it. ”
"You really want to hear it?" Xiao Shuangning turned his head to look at Xiao Youchen with a curious face.
"I want to hear it!"
Xiao Shuangning got up from the ground, sat down on the chair, and coughed lightly. Although she tried not to laugh as much as possible, a smile could be seen on her face.
Xiao Youchen sat beside Xiao Shuangning curiously, expecting her to speak.
"I just named my chick, my brother will help me listen to it, okay?"
"You, you just don't grow up, what is the name of this little chick! But since you've taken them all, there's no harm in listening to them. ”
"Humph! You're only a few months older, and you seem to be a lot older than me. Brother, listen up, it's called Chenchen, don't call it wrong in the future, hahaha......" Xiao Shuangning looked proud, and laughed out loud after speaking.
"Ning Ning, you ......" Xiao Youchen was angry, "Ning Ning, you weren't like this before, who did you learn this from?" ”
"Really? Can my brother tell me how I used to be? ”
"Although you were willful before, you will never ......" Xiao Youchen always felt that Xiao Shuangning was different from before, but he couldn't tell what was the difference, so he could only stop fighting with Xiao Shuangning, "Okay, it was my brother who was wrong before, and I made our family Ning Ning angry, isn't it always okay for my brother to compensate you, right?" ”
"It's so insincere to admit your mistakes?"
"So what do you do not get angry?"
Xiao Shuangning stood up from the sofa and swaggered around the room with a thoughtful expression.
Xiao Shuangning and Zhou Yu have been staying for a long time, and they have indeed been influenced by Zhou Yu a lot, and they have become a little ruffian, and the timid Xiao Shuangning who only knows how to be coquettish by Xiao Youchen's side is like two people.
She didn't know it herself, but Xiao Youchen, who had always regarded her like a jewel, wouldn't notice it.
"Oops! Headache, annoying, I can't think of it for a while. Remember first, and I'll tell you when I think of what I want. She scratched her head vigorously, looking upset and irritable.
"Okay, write it down, write it down, then this chick should be renamed, right? If you let others hear it, you may be able to laugh at me. ”
"Okay, let's call it Xiaobai in the future!"
Xiao Shuangning won easily, with a smug smile on his face, and squatted down to tease the chicks in the box.
Xiao Youchen looked at the smile on her face, nodded with a smile, got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Xiaobai, you have to be obedient, don't make noise at night, don't make noise until I sleep. Otherwise, I will punish you with a day of confinement tomorrow and not give you anything to eat. ”
Xiao Shuangning squatted there, muttering to herself to the chick, the chick didn't know if she was hungry or what's wrong, looking at her and chirping.
Xiao Shuangning thought that the little chick was talking to her, and the more she got up, the more she cooed at the little chick.
……
After a while, Shumei and Xiao Youchen came in with boiled noodles.
Shumei saw Xiao Shuangning cooing at the chicken, smiled and shook her head, "Ningning, go wash your hands and eat, how old are you, you are still like a three-year-old child, you can't learn from your brother well." ”
"Here we go again." Xiao Shuangning was not used to Shumei always praising Xiao Youchen in front of her, so she stood up angrily and walked towards the door.
Since she had this chicken farm, Shumei has spent most of her time on it, cleaning the chicken farm, adding feed and water to the chicks, feeding the sick chicks with medicine, and every day is very busy anyway.
When Xiao Youchen comes back from school, he will also take Xiao Shuangning to help.
Sunrise and sunset, flowers bloom and fall.
Time passed day by day, and the chicks grew day by day, and the family was waiting for a return. They have invested all their energy and money in this, and this thing can only succeed, not fail, if this thing fails, it will be an immeasurable blow to their family.
Xiao Youchen may still be full of hope and confidence in this matter, and he has never thought about failure.
But Shumei, as a mother and an adult, should know that no matter how thoughtful things are, they may fail. Before the chicken farm had no income, she had to endure not only physical pressure, but also mental pressure.
Although she behaved calmly on the surface, she never really smiled from the bottom of her heart when she was alone.
One day, when Xiao Youchen was inspecting the chicken shed, he found that there were a few fewer chickens in a cage. Although he had not counted them exactly, from his observations over the past few days, he was certain that there were fewer chicks.
He carefully checked the surroundings, and the cage was not broken, and it was impossible for the chicks to get out on their own, he was a little puzzled.
What the hell, could it be that these chicks have also practiced bone shrinking?
However, it was also the first time for them to open a chicken farm, and they still lacked many technical and common sense problems.
He scratched his head, frowned, and went home to call Shumei.
"Mom, look, this cage, and this, are there a few chickens missing?" Xiao Youchen pulled Shumei to the chicken coop and pointed to the chicken coop with a large gap.
Shumei leaned over and took a closer look, and said unsurely: "It seems to be quite empty, but this cage is so good, shouldn't it slip out?" ”
"Mom, why don't you do it! I'll be living in the chicken coop from tonight onwards! Whether it's a thief or a chick who runs out on their own, don't you know this guard? Xiao Youchen recommended himself.
"That's a good idea, but ...... This chicken farm is smelly and noisy, and I will guard it, how can I let you come! You can't sleep well at night, how can you study hard during the day. ”
"Mom......"
"Don't say it, this matter is settled, if there is a thief, I will find out this thief. There are two unwanted door panels in the courtyard, so I'll move over and make a simple bed, and I'll start watching for the rabbit tonight. Shumei said with a smile on her face.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Youchen couldn't continue to fight with her, so he could only obey Shumei's wishes.
"That'...... Then I'll help my mom make the bed. Xiao Youchen said and ran out of the chicken shed, found the door panel that Shumei said in the courtyard, and moved to the chicken shed quickly.
Covering her head and starting to clean up in the chicken shed, Shumei also stepped forward to help, and the two mothers and sons tacitly cooperated to do it.
After a while, a small room was cleaned up for Shumei, and Xiao Youchen laid the two door panels on the pier made of bricks.
"Okay, you see, in just a moment, everything is done. Is this called a mother-son match, and you won't be tired of working? ”
Shumei patted the dust on her hands, crossed her waist, looked at the results of her and Xiao Youchen, and said with a joking smile.
