Fang Wenjing inquired around the town, and sure enough, it was all at this price, so he only bought ten, took them back and raised them in the chicken coop, filled a bowl with some water and put them in the chicken coop, and sprinkled a handful of leftover rice in the chicken coop, then washed his hands, wiped them clean, took out the passbook from his body, sewed it in a torn cotton jacket, touched it with his hands, and couldn't feel what was in it at all, so he put his mind at ease and went out to continue planting peanuts.

In the afternoon, the Tang Xiaofu sisters were very happy to see the little chicken babies when they came back, especially Tang Xiaofu saw those little chicken babies running on the ground like velvet toys, and they felt very cute!

She caught each chick baby and put it down, touched it in her hand, and then put it down, and asked Fang Wenjing why she only bought ten.

Fang Wenjing said: "This year's chick baby is more expensive than any other year, the most expensive in the past was only three cents, but now it costs four cents, which is a whole dime!" I'll just buy ten of them, and we'll hatch the chicks ourselves next spring. ”

Tang Xiaofu was speechless, Fang Wenjing's peasant thinking was deep-rooted and he was afraid of investment.

Tang Xiaolan saw that Tang Xiaofu had been holding the chick and playing, so she said, "Sister, playing with the chick with a hot hand will kill the chick." ”

And this kind of thing? Tang Xiaofu's eyes widened in surprise, and she hurriedly put the chicken in her hand into the chicken coop, it would be too sinful for such a cute little thing to play to death.

Because yesterday I promised to make spring rolls today, the mother and daughter had a good time, so Tang Xiaofu went to dig up the shepherd's cabbage and came back, and made fifty or sixty spring rolls for dinner, and the family of three had a great time.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on Wednesday, at noon, when the two Tang Xiaofu sisters came home, they saw that the two uncles and their whole family had come, and Fang Wenjing had made a big table of good dishes, and the room was full of people waiting for her two sisters to come back for dinner.

Sister Tang Xiaofu liked her two uncles and aunts very much, and happily greeted them.

The two aunts both smiled and said, "These two sisters have started to pull strips, and they look taller than during the Chinese New Year." ”

Fang Wenjing glanced at her two daughters lovingly: "I look at it every day, but I can't see that her sisters have grown taller." ”

Tang Xiaofu washed her hands and said with a smile: "Why don't you eat first, what are you waiting for us?" ”

The little aunt said: "The family is squeezed to eat. ”

Everyone chatted while eating, it turned out that the two uncles' families came early this morning to help Fang Wenjing plant seedlings, but Fang Wenjing had to plant them on Saturday and Sunday, so they helped Fang Wenjing plant cotton, sesame and soybeans first.

Tang Xiaofu looked at those cousins and asked, "Cousins, cousins, they didn't go to school?" ”

Fang Ming and Fang Liang are old and haven't studied for a long time, but the two sisters of Caiyun Caifeng and the two younger sons of the little uncle should still be studying!

The little uncle took a sip of wine: "I have taken a leave of absence, I will not study this year and next year, just recognize a few words, our ancestors have been digging in the soil for generations, and it is useless to read so many books, it is better to farm at home to increase income, better than anything else." ”

Tang Xiaofu sandwiched a large piece of fat meat for each uncle and aunt: "If you can read it, I think you can still read well, I heard our teacher say that as long as you are admitted to university, you don't have to pay tuition or anything, the state has subsidies, save a little, you don't have to pay for your own living expenses, and you still arrange a job after graduation, how can the city be better than the countryside, it's too difficult to make money in the countryside!" ”

Fang Li, the second son of the little uncle, said: "I am not a reading material, I like farming." ”

Several others echoed: "It's too difficult to study and get into college, and I'd rather farm." ”

The eldest uncle said: "If we don't have that life, don't look at a mountain high, now the contract to the household is equivalent to the state to distribute the land to individuals, as long as you work hard, not only can you eat well, but also can eat very well, we farmers will be content!" ”

Tang Xiaofu didn't say much, farmers have been suffering for so many years, who doesn't want to plant more land and make more money now? Children who have dropped out of school now abound.

Fang Wenjing told Tang Xiaofu: "This time your uncle brought us a lot of good things, and the two uncles who asked for the chicken babies gave ten of them to each family, I knew that I wouldn't buy chickens, and your two uncles also sent a little pig baby to our family, so we don't have to buy a pig baby this year." ”

The two Tang Xiaofu sisters both smiled and said: "No wonder we came back and heard the cry of a little pig baby, thinking it was someone else's, but it turned out to be ours!" ”

The time for chatting always flies, and soon it's time to go to school, and when the two Tang Xiaofu sisters come back from school in the afternoon, the two uncles are gone.

The two sisters hurried to do their homework, and Fang Wenjing went to the mountain to chop wood.

At dinner in the evening, Fang Wenjing told her two sisters: "I told your two uncles that I came over early Saturday morning to help us plant the seedlings." ”

Tang Xiaofu said okay: "On Friday, my mother will buy all the dishes that will be entertained to my uncles on Saturday, remember to buy more lean meat, I will come back in the afternoon, spread hundreds of spring roll wrappers, and make them early on Saturday morning, and when the uncles come, they will be fried for the uncles to eat, and then start planting seedlings, and my sister and I will dig some camellia at noon tomorrow." ”

Fang Wenjing replied with a smile, feeling that Tang Xiaofu's heart was very careful and she would be a good person.

Tang Xiaofu continued: "Mom remembers to buy two hooves to come back to simmer soup, and then buy some pork belly and a piece of pork ribs back, I will fry some meat balls on Friday night, the pork ribs will be braised and eaten, and the tofu and kelp vermicelli will be remembered to buy, uncles are enthusiastic and happy to help us, let's not neglect them." ”

Fang Wenjing agreed one by one.

Tang Xiaofu thought about it, and if there was nothing missing, she ate with peace of mind.

The mother and daughter talked and the dinner was over, and Fang Wenjing cleaned up the dining table with her hands and feet, so that Tang Xiaofu's sister and sister could do their homework, and she would go to wash the dishes.

At this time, Tang Zhenzhong's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

The mother and daughter glanced at each other, and Fang Wenjing said, "It's not Sunday today, why did he go back to the village?" ”

"Don't guess, I'll open the door and see what he's doing." Tang Xiaofu said, got up and walked out of the house, came to the courtyard gate, and asked expressionlessly across the courtyard door, "What are you doing here?" ”

Tang Zhenzhong said: "I'm here to send you money." ”

Tang Xiaofu immediately understood, and said with a cold face: "You are a cadre, you won't even be unable to speak, why did you send us money!" Obviously, you and your mother compensated my mother for the spiritual compensation, as if you were so kind, send us money! Can you be a more straightforward person and play a little less heart-to-heart! ”

Tang Zhenzhong was reprimanded so much that his face was red and his neck was thick, he took out the money from his body and handed it to Tang Xiaofu: "You count it, whether it's five hundred yuan." ”

"Of course I do." Tang Xiaofu took the money and counted it carefully two or three times, not bad.

She raised her eyes and looked at Tang Zhenzhong coldly: "What about Xiaolan's living expenses for me and Xiaolan this month?" ”
