In the next few days, Chixi was not idle, and Hetian Cuihe bought seedlings of chickens, ducks and geese in the village.

But now that autumn is approaching, it is difficult for the people in the village to hatch the seedlings of chickens, ducks and geese, and because they are afraid of Xi Dazhuang, they dare not have anything to do with their family.

Tian Cuihe sighed: "Originally, the neighbors should get along well, but now it has become like this, and it has become our family's fault." ”

Chi Xi felt that it was nothing, and said with a smile: "Mother, let's live our own lives well, don't care too much about what others say and do." ”

Tian Cuihe sighed and shook her head, didn't say anything more, and followed Chixi to the next village.

Unable to buy seedlings of chickens, ducks and geese, Chixi bought eggs to hatch by himself.

Tian Cuihe was a little worried: "Xiaoxi, it's almost autumn, the weather is cold, and we don't have any old hens at home, can we hatch seedlings if we buy so many eggs back?" ”

"Yes."

Chi Xi smiled and nodded: "As long as the temperature is right, the seedlings can be hatched." ”

You can't make any money by making a small fuss, and the water of Lingquan can be beautified and healthy, and the poultry and livestock can naturally be fattened and strong.

Last night, she not only checked the method of hatching chickens, ducks and goose eggs from Xiaoling, but also learned how to raise pigs.

She couldn't remember exactly what she had been through for hundreds of years, but she was now literate.

Tian Cuihe was still not at ease: "But ...... How can the temperature be right? ”

"Let's burn firewood, we can heat the house, and the temperature is right."

Chixi smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I won't come nonsense." ”

Eggs cost a penny, duck eggs a penny a penny, and goose eggs a penny.

Chixi collected 200 eggs, 100 duck eggs, and 80 goose eggs from the surrounding villages.

There are not many of them, she tries to hatch them once, and if she succeeds, she can develop in this direction later.

If the hatched chickens, ducks and geese cannot be raised, they can also be sold to others.

After all, in autumn and winter, the villagers can't hatch chickens, ducks and geese, and if they want to raise these little things, they can only wait until next year's summer.

Tian Cuihe was skeptical, but she was willing to believe Chixi.

She estimated that although it cost more than 500 yuan to buy these eggs today, if the seedlings could not hatch, it would not be a waste to eat them while the eggs were not bad.

Chixi said that he would do it, and after Xi Dazhuang came back from chopping wood, he discussed with him to let him make a clay kang to facilitate the fire and bake the house.

Xi Dazhuang listened to her thoughts and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being my daughter-in-law, her brain is good, and she can come up with this method." ”

Chi Xi raised his eyebrows amusedly: "Aren't you afraid that I'm fooling around, and when the time comes, not only will I not be able to hatch the seedlings, but I will also let you work in vain?" It costs a lot of money to buy these eggs! ”

"Don't be afraid."

Xi Dazhuang shook his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled heartily: "If you have an idea, do it, it doesn't matter if you can't hatch it." It's a big deal that we eat these eggs before they are bad, and it won't be wasted. ”

"With your words, I'm much more relieved."

Chi Xi teased: "Otherwise, after spending so much money, if I can't hatch seedlings, I will definitely die of guilt." ”

"Don't feel guilty, we are husband and wife, and everything should be borne together."

Xi Dazhuang raised his hand and rubbed Chixi's head, and said with a smile: "I'm a rough person, I don't know about those things that are going on in the snow, but I know that you are my daughter-in-law and the closest person to me and my mother." You try to hatch the seedlings of chickens, ducks and geese, also for our family. It is possible to succeed or fail in the first attempt. If it doesn't work once, just do it twice, as long as the method is right, it will always work. ”

Chixi will always indulge in Xi Dazhuang's gentleness.

He said he was a rough man.

But in Chixi's opinion, he is more delicate than anyone else.

Others look at him fiercely, but when she looks at him, she is always gentle.

"Okay, big brother, I won't let you down!"

Chi Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly, and said seriously: "I want to earn a lot of silver and live a good life with Brother Da Zhuang and his mother!" ”

"Okay, then my mother and I are waiting for you to earn money and take us to a good life!"

Xi Dazhuang laughed heartily, and Tian Cuihe blamed him on the side: "Do you look at your words?" As a husband, you should earn money and take Xiaoxi to live a good life! Don't be poor, get to work. ”

"Okay, let's do it."

Xi Dazhuang said that he would do it, and he built a soil kang in the vacant house according to the method that Chixi told him.

Pond Creek went to cook.

These days, she uses the rice grain and spiritual spring in the space to cook and cook vegetables, and the taste of the food is not only a lot better, but her body is also obviously better, and her pale face, which is always sickly and wilting, is full of pink.

She was originally beautiful and lovely.

It's just that years of hunger, cold, and overwork have ruined her body, and she hasn't let her thin body grow much flesh for more than two years. On weekdays, it looks like he's sick, as if the wind will blow and fall.

This is also the reason why Xi Dazhuang and Tian Cuihe don't let her do heavy work.

Although there are many things at home, the mother and son agree that she can cook a meal, and the weather is a little colder, so she won't even be allowed to wash her clothes.

Chixi saw that there was still bacon at home, so he took it out, washed and sliced it, fried it with dried chili peppers in oil until fragrant, then put in the bacon and stir-fried, and finally sprinkled a handful of fresh garlic seedlings, and the fragrant aroma wafted out far away.

Tian Cuihe was giving Xi Dazhuang a hand, and when he smelled the fragrance, he smiled: "Xiaoxi's cooking skills are getting better and better, I always feel that the food has been fragrant a lot these days, and I can eat half a bowl of rice more every meal." ”

Xi Dazhuang raised his head and smiled loudly: "My daughter-in-law is naturally all good!" ”

"Look at you, your tails are almost up in the sky."

Tian Cuihe chuckled and sighed: "When she was seriously ill, her stepmother was afraid that she would die at home, so she hurriedly married her to you, and now I am really happy to see her body getting better and better." I hope that she can gain more weight and have a baby in the future. ”

These words were never said by the mother and son in front of Chixi.

If it weren't for Chi Xi's serious illness at the beginning, the Chi family would not have just taken Xi Da Zhuang's little wild boar and sent Chi Xi to the cave where they lived at the time three days ago.

At that time, many people felt that Pond Creek would not survive.

But Tian Cuihe took good care of her, and all the money Xi Dazhuang earned from hunting during that time also bought medicine for her, and it took a lot of tossing to save the person.

"Those things are over, let's look forward."

Xi Dazhuang felt distressed when he thought of his daughter-in-law's original appearance, and said while building soil: "I see that her complexion has improved a lot during this time, and she will be able to grow meat in a short time." ”

"Yes, you're right, let's move forward."

Tian Cuihe breathed a long sigh of relief, smelled the aroma of the food, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be busy, go eat and rest for a while." ”

Meals are served.

Color, flavor, and flavor.

There is not only a plate of stir-fried bacon, but also a plate of shepherd's cabbage and a bowl of bone mushroom soup. The shepherd's cabbage is boiled with minced garlic and sesame oil, and the color is attractive, and the bone mushroom soup is delicious and appetizing.

As soon as Chixi was served, the family sat down and was about to eat, when the voice of Sister-in-law Osmanthus came from outside the door: "Aunt Cuihe, Xiaoxi, are you busy?" ”

Tian Cuihe answered and was about to put the bowl to open the door, Chixi stood up and said with a smile: "Mother, you eat yours, I'll take a look." ”

Chi Xi quickly opened the courtyard door, and saw that Sister-in-law Osmanthus's expression was a little wrong, so he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Osmanthus, come in and sit, say something slowly." ”

The people of the village don't interact with their house anymore.

But Sister-in-law Osmanthus used to have a good relationship with Tian Cuihe.

If you need help, Ikexi won't refuse.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus's expression was a little embarrassed, and she followed Chixi into the yard, and said embarrassedly: "Xiaoxi, that's the case, didn't your mother buy ten eggs from me a few days ago?" Today, my daughter-in-law was diagnosed as pregnant, and there are no eggs at home to replenish her body, you see...... Can you give me back those ten eggs? ”

She was afraid that Chixi would misunderstand, so she hurriedly made up for it: "I heard that you have gone to other villages to buy a lot of chickens, ducks and goose eggs in the past few days, and there is no shortage of these ten eggs." ”

"Okay, you go in the house and sit down, and I'll go get you eggs."

Chixi invited Sister-in-law Osmanthus into the house, but Sister-in-law Osmanthus refused: "No need, I'll wait for you here, this is the ten cents that your mother gave me when she bought eggs, and you can keep it." ”

Chi Xi looked at Sister-in-law Guihua's evasive eyes, took the money and smiled: "Okay, you wait a minute." ”
