Tu Jiqiao went to work in a city in the south from the north, met a girl named Xiao Qin, got along, talked to the object, worked for a few years to earn some money, bought a tiled house in a village called Jigongshan on the outskirts of the city, repaired it a little, and married Xiao Qin to live.

Since then, Tu Jiqiao has bought some gifts at the end of each year to go back to the north to visit his parents, and then returned to Jigongshan Village in the south, which has become his second hometown. He did not go to the city to work, but planted a few acres of vegetables with Xiao Qin, sent a cart of vegetables to the neighboring vegetable market every morning, and worked in the vegetable field during the day.

He also has a few chickens at home, especially a hen that is very good at loose eggs. Sometimes two a day, his wife Xiao Qin attaches great importance to it, every time she catches new rice, catches insects, pulls vegetables to peck at it, and it grows a reed flower feather very beautiful. Xiao Qin looked at it and thought of Luhuadang in her hometown, and thought of her mother who came from Luhuadang, saying that she had an urgent loan, but Xiao Qin lent her mother 400 yuan without asking much.

Soon came the bad news that his mother committed suicide by hanging herself. After Xiao Qin went to mourn and cried, she left Luhuadang again.

Xiao Qin looked at Luhua Ji Po, her nose was sour, why her mother hanged herself was not clear, who bullied her, and there was no way to ask. Maybe it's a relief that my mother is dead, because my father has been gone for many years, and the old man who lacks support may still be happy when he goes there.

Then the hen flapped her wings and flew up to the coop rack, and jumped into the nest with a half-basket of grass, and for about half an hour, she jumped out of the coop again, and cried out as if disturbed—all of them big. Xiao Qin understood, it was boasting of being a big egg.

For about three years, this reed hen hatched three litters of chickens and most of them survived, and scattered countless eggs, but later, when they fed millet or something, they didn't scatter a single egg.

Husband Tu Jiqiao said that it was better to kill the simmered chicken soup and drink it. So Xiao Qin boiled a pot of boiling water, watched Tu Jiqiao drag the hen out of the cage that had not been stored overnight, pinched its sharp beak with his thumb and forefinger and turned it back, bent it into a ring, and then pulled off a few seeds of the reed fluff on its throat, revealing pale flesh, and then used the prepared kitchen knife to push it upward, and the dirty blood came out. I saw this reed chicken woman convulsing constantly, and the countrymen said that this was called jumping.

This chicken blood is still a dish, Tu Jiqiao is afraid that it will be dirty, it is not easy to use, Ma Li aimed the knife on the chicken's neck at a fist-sized magnetic bowl, and the blood dripped down until it covered the bottom of the bowl and stopped flowing, and then threw the chicken that was still slowly twitching into a wooden basin.

At this time, Xiao Qin poured boiling water directly on the killed Luhua Chicken Woman, and she felt a stream of heat rushing up, but she couldn't see it, because it was summer, and the sun was shining hot from Luhuadang, enough to drown out the steaming heat, just like the family's natural appetite was enough to drown the life of this old hen who no longer laid eggs.

After a while, the chicken feathers were cleaned, and after a while, the lumpy chicken entered a glazed clay pot, and below was a firewood that burned loudly, and simmered for more than two hours, the old hen in the clay pot was finally boiled, and at this time the house was filled with the smell of chicken, and the dog with a good sense of smell rushed in from the outside, and walked around the house, and was yelled a few times by Xiao Qin, and slipped away in vain.

There is also a cat around her knees looking at the absent-minded Xiao Qin with amber eyes and barking slowly, Xiao Qin doesn't care at all, she only cares about her husband Tu Jiqiao, who went to work in the field after killing chickens.

At noon when it was time to eat, he hadn't returned, Xiao Qin returned the firewood under the sand pot, locked the door and came out, she walked towards a hillside to call Tu Jiqiao, who was working on the slope. The sweaty Tu Jiqiao said, wait a while, I will go home after finishing the work. So Xiao Qin sat under a maple oak tree and waited in the shade.

In the distance were reeds, and the wind was blowing leisurely from there, warm, and she had a sense of sleep, so she leaned on the maple oak tree to take a nap. In a trance, I saw my mother with a kind face coming, and she said Mom, where are you from? My daughter misses you very much, come to my house! I boiled a pot of chicken soup today, so let's try it together.

Mother said that I have lived in your house for more than three years, and now I will say goodbye to you. Xiao Qin felt inexplicable and said that this was not right! Mom, it's been more than three years since you died, where have I seen you? Mother said, you don't know, I was lonely when I was alive, so I had to play cards often to pass the time, that time I lost money, I lost all the jewelry, so I asked you to borrow 400 yuan, right? Xiao Qin said that she remembered it, Mom, I don't want you to pay it back! It's for you.

No way! Daughter. The mother said that she took the 400 yuan to play cards and prepare to pick up the book, but she lost it all again, and she couldn't think about it, so she hanged herself, thinking that she was a hundred.

Unexpectedly, the king of Yama came to me to settle accounts, and collected all kinds of evils such as when I was alive, and I was willing to sink and so on, and wanted to demote me to hell and be punished. Fortunately, on the day I was questioned, it was the birthday of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, and although I did not receive transcendence, I was pardoned, and I was pardoned for all kinds of tortures that I should have suffered in hell.

Thanks to the grace of Guanyin Bodhisattva's rescue, I only need to become a beast to pay off the debts owed when I was born to be reincarnated, daughter, your Luhua Chicken Po is my reincarnation to pay off the debt, through more than three years to your family loose eggs, hatching chickens, its value just offsets the debt of 400 yuan, I will no longer scatter eggs.

Xiao Qin wanted to say something, but her mother turned to leave, and when she was chasing and shouting, she fell down, and Xiao Qin woke up with cold sweat on her forehead. After finishing the work, Tu Jiqiao came over and took a handful of leaves to wipe her sweat, she didn't say a word, got up and went home with Tu Jiqiao.

I saw her pick up the casserole of chicken soup and leave the house, walk briskly, and fall into the reed flower swing near the edge of her mother's house. Tu Jiqiao was puzzled, thinking that she had suddenly gone crazy, and was so annoyed that she was about to catch up and slap her, but she choked and cried, telling the dream of her mother becoming a chicken after her death to pay off her debts.

In a village in the north, it is called Yaozhuang. There is a beautiful villa in Yaozhuang, built by the mountains and rivers. The owner of the villa is Yao Yishui, a well-known local coal mine owner, whose original wife Liu is infertile, and he is allowed to marry back to the second room. If it is said to be married, then it is considered remarriage, remarriage is not allowed by the state, it is a crime, as long as someone reports it, Yao Yishui will inevitably be imprisoned.

But he does a good job in Liu's ideological work, does not complain, does not ruck, who is too full of outsiders to hold on, to take care of this idle matter that has nothing to do with him? What's more, Yao Yishui has made a fortune by mining coal over the years, and he takes into account interpersonal relations, the government has built bridges and roads, planted trees and afforestation in the local area, and he has donated this and that, and he has also contributed to the relief of poor households in his hometown.

Therefore, he has played with people in all aspects, and he will not secretly dismantle his stage because he has found a second room. In this way, as long as Yao Yishui finds Chang Hao, who is the lady of the second room, gets along well with the Liu family, he will be safe.
