Xu Yin rubbed her suddenly itchy nose and looked at the setting sun, the work in the field was almost over, and it was time to go back to make dinner.

As soon as I got home, I saw Mrs. Xu coming to the door with a basket: "Yin Yin, I will find the chicken cubs you want, you feed them carefully, and you will have chicken to eat until the New Year." ”

"Thank you, grandma."

"There's something to be thankful for." Mrs. Xu waved her hand.

Turning his head to look outside the house, he carefully took out a bag of grain from the placket of his clothes like an underground party joint.

"Isn't it about to break again? Eat these first, and your grandfather will find a way to buy black market grain, and he will pick it up when he arrives after a while. ”

In the past, the old couple saw that their youngest son was so lazy, and sometimes they really didn't want to pay attention to this son when they got angry, unless he cheekily ran to the old house to rub food, they had the right to be out of sight, anyway, they didn't work much, just eat less and not starve to death.

But recently, Xu Yin sent some small fish and shrimp to the second elder every three or five days, and saw that the third child was earning full wages every day, so she couldn't help but worry that the third child's family food was not enough to eat and what to do if he didn't have the strength to work? It was still early to distribute the grain after the double robbery, so the old man Xu asked someone to buy black market grain.

Xu Yin did not refuse the old lady's kindness.

If she hadn't had a systematic warehouse, from time to time she would have touched some sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, millet and other miscellaneous grains, mixed with local rice to make two rice and sweet potato rice, and the family would have been cut off.

Xu Laosan and Chen Huilan, two comrades, as long as they have something to eat, never care how much grain there is in the rice bowl at home. It's a big deal to eat empty, one goes to the old house, the other goes back to his parents' house, and he can always come back with some rubbing.

Besides, they are now earning their jobs every day, and if they don't feed them, they will probably leave the burden and stop working.

So Xu Yin is also having a headache, where to get some food on the surface and come back. The result is still the second elder.

"Grandma, this is the money for the food, this is the money for the chickens." She gave the money to the old lady.

Mrs. Xu refused to accept it: "How much can the two chickens be worth, and the grain will be bought later." ”

Xu Yin saw that she insisted on refusing to ask for it, so she grabbed a handful of freshly picked young leeks and gave them to her, as well as a few wild eggs, and stuffed them into the old lady's basket: "You take it back and add dishes." ”

Mrs. Xu excused herself, but finally accepted it.

With his little feet on his feet, he returned home with a smile on his eyebrows, and showed the old man the food that his granddaughter had eaten to honor them:

"Yin girl's luck has been really good recently, and she has picked up wild eggs every three or five times. And this leek, is it good to grow? This child, I used to look lazy and lazy, I was really worried that she and the third child had a virtue, and it would be difficult to find her mother-in-law's house when the time came, but I didn't expect it to suddenly open up, and the work in the field was rushed to do it, and the house was cleaned up, so the mother-in-law's family must not worry. ”

Xu Yin rubbed her itchy nose again.

Strange, why do you always have an itchy nose and want to sneeze today? Could it be a precursor to a cold?

Hurriedly fed himself two health pills to improve immunity, poured a few mouthfuls of Lingxu Sect mountain spring water, and then grabbed the two chickens into the chicken cage made of bamboo strips a few days ago, sprinkled millet, and threw a vegetable leaf for them to peck first.

I'm going to make some chicken feed on time.

She had done this when she was a peasant girl: she used chicken grass, bran, wheat bran and ordinary herbs that are easy to find in the mountains that chickens love to eat, and chopped them together with high-protein insects.

Do what you think.

Early the next morning, before going to work, Xu Yin went to the foot of the mountain to cut a basket of chicken grass, and found that there was wild alfalfa, which this livestock loves to eat, and pulled a large piece.

At the same time, I sprinkled some high-quality alfalfa seeds that have been cultivated for several generations, and the seeds germinated quickly in the spring, and a wave of harvest could be harvested in two months.

Now that she had come, she walked up the hill for a while.

The mountains are mostly shrubs and miscellaneous trees, and except for birds and finches that make their home here, other wild animals are rarely seen.

But someone in the brigade had picked up wild eggs, indicating that there were pheasants.

Xu Yin turned around and picked out the smallest pheasant of Taoyuan Star.

In terms of size, Taoyuan Star can only hang at the end of the list, but it is better because the skeleton is small and meaty, and it is very fat.

Xu Yin stuffed it into the back basket, spread a few layers of common herbs such as purslane and dandelion, and went home with the basket and bamboo basket.

Xu Laosan woke up and saw her take a pheasant out of the back basket, and her eyes were straight: "Yin, Yinyin, this is a pheasant?" ”

"That's right! Lucky to catch it. ”

"Oh, what a pheasant? Looks fatter than a homegrown! ”

"If you don't say that our daughter is lucky, she often picks up wild eggs, not to mention, this time she also caught pheasants! Ha ha! ”

Xu Yin urged them to go to work: "It's not early, you go first, I'll clean up and go." ”

"Okay, okay, you clean up slowly, let's go first."

Xu Laosan and his wife originally wanted to work in the field so early, but when they saw a pheasant to eat, they immediately came back to life with full blood.

"Don't tell anyone." Xu Yin reminded them before they went out, worried that they would go around talking with a big mouth.

"Don't say it, don't say it, resolutely don't say it!"

"Yes, yes, we know, make a fortune with a muffled voice!"

But if you don't say it, the smile on your face can't be suppressed.

Working on his hands, all he could think about was fat and oily pheasants, and he laughed out loud when he thought about it.

"Third child, what's the good thing? I've seen you have fun all morning. ”

After working for an hour, I went home for breakfast, and on the way, the villagers joked about Xu Laosan.

Xu Laosan didn't say anything about being killed.

Chen Huilan also had a woman asking her: "Third daughter-in-law, is there any happy event in your family?" Could it be that Yin Yin's door-to-door son-in-law picked it out? Which one? Looks like you're satisfied? ”

Chen Huilan waved her hand: "Where is it, the son-in-law is still early, how old is Yin Yin, she said, she is not looking for a partner if she is not eighteen." ”

"So what are you happy about? From morning music to now. ”

“…… Well, I just had a sweet dream last night and had a big fat meal. ”

“……”

The village woman looked at her suspiciously, not quite convinced.

Shouldn't you be depressed when you wake up eating meat in your dreams? Why can you still have a good morning?

Chen Huilan looked at her with innocent eyes: "Really! I kid you not! ”

“……”

When they got home, they walked into the courtyard door with their front and back feet, closed the courtyard door with their backhands, jumped up excitedly, and then ran to the stove room to see.

Before Xu Yin went to work, she processed the chicken well, boiled it over high heat, removed the firewood, and stewed it with the charcoal star on the remaining fire.

After an hour of simmering, the chicken is soft and flavorful.

The two of them were so happy. Hurry up and grab a bowl of soup and drink it.

Xu Laosan sighed with satisfaction: "It's so comfortable!" ”

Take a sip of chicken soup, nibble on steamed buns, mix wet and dry, and drop your stomach!

In the past, he hated eating dry coarse grain steamed buns the most, but now he has chicken soup and doesn't feel choked at all.

"Why hasn't Yin Yin come back today?" Chen Huilan looked at the gate of the courtyard while eating.

Xu Yin actually came back earlier than them, and served a bowl of chicken to the second elder, by the way, I wanted to ask the old man how to get to the black market.
