At noon, most of the chicks were exchanged for eggs.

Granny Tang changed ten, Wen Shu's grandmother also changed ten, and then distributed fifteen to Zhou and Yanru, and other villagers also replaced more than forty one after another, and now there are only about a dozen chicks left in the house.

The dozen or so chicks, led by a hen, foraged in the yard.

The other two hens were sad, because they were unwilling to give up the eggs that came out of the shell late, so that the chicks around them were stolen by the hostess one by one, and finally there were a few weak chickens that had just come out of the shell and had not dried up.

Chun Niang originally wanted to take these chickens away, let the same hen take it, and let the other two hens recover quickly, so that they could lay eggs early.

As a result, one of the luhua hens was very stubborn, and once the hostess took the chicks from her side, she chased after them frantically, snatched one or two more from the hens with the cubs, and took the two chicks to avoid elsewhere to forage for food.

After a few times, Chun Niang went with it.

After a few more days, the hen was able to take the chicks out of the yard.

Chunniang was afraid that her chickens would be confused with other people's families, so she used Sumu red dots to make a red mark on the chickens' heads.

Every morning, after feeding the hen chicks with little yellow rice, the hen cooing and taking her chicken baby out.

The Luhua chicken also went out with its two chicks.

Perhaps it is because of the small number of chicks that the Luhua chicken carries and often travels far away, sometimes to the other side of the wasteland.

This wasteland is close to the pond, and there is a wild bamboo forest in the distance, and the wasteland is full of vegetation and shrubs, so that hens and their young can not only find insects in it, but also hide from the eagles and falcons in the sky.

However, there are also many ground predators, such as weasels, foxes, grass wolves, etc., which will sneak out to hunt.

Fortunately, there are often people washing rice, washing vegetables, washing clothes, and carrying water on this side of the pond, and those animals dare not approach during the day.

Who knew that it didn't take long for the two chicks of Luhua Chicken to disappear, and it is estimated that they were either taken away by eagles or caught by other wild animals.

Recently, there have been one or two eagles gliding over the village, which frightened the chickens in the village.

Not only were the chickens frightened, but also the villagers, who immediately hid the young children in their houses and hid the lambs and piglets.

Because of its size, the eagle can easily snatch a child as young as four or five years old or a half-sized lamb.

Whenever they saw the eagle swooping down, the villagers would take a copper basin or a gong and slam it, and wave their arms and shout loudly to drive it away, temporarily scaring the eagle away.

But it didn't take long for them to fly again, and a few times they were still hovering over the Jiang family's yard.

Chunniang had no choice but to drive the hens and chicks into the house and wait for the eagles to fly away before letting them out.

She didn't pay much attention to Luhua Chicken, so the two little cubs of Luhua Chicken disappeared.

However, Luhua Chicken did not give up on itself when it lost its chicks, but tried to snatch the chicken baby from other hens again and again.

But now the chicks have recognized their mothers and are reluctant to go with them.

As a result, Sakura often saw the reed chicken going to the pond alone, not knowing whether to forage for food or to look for its lost child.

Jiang Saburo went to the county seat for three days, drove a new carriage back with joy, and showed a copy of the deed to his wife and daughter when he entered the house.

This is a five-room house, not far from the county school, and the house price is more than 300 taels of silver.

Coupled with the hundred taels of the carriage, Jiang Saburo spent more than 400 taels this time, including 100 taels of silver given by the little girl.

The silver in Chunniang's hand was almost spent, and there were only a dozen copper coins left.

She was not reluctant at all, but was very happy. I finally have a house in the county, and it is still a house with five blue brick houses.

"The house is good, the yard is quite big, it's no problem to plant vegetables and flowers, I'll go again after a while, ask a few masons to repair the house, and then buy some furniture, and after the autumn harvest, you can send Xiaojie and Yuanbao to the city to study."

Jiang Saburo said to the little girl again: "When the time comes, you go to the county seat with your mother, and we will be the daughter of the county seat in the future." ”

After ten or eight years, the little girl will be a proper city person, and she will find a good in-law in the county seat when the time comes.

Ying Bao shook his head: "I won't go to the county seat, just take my eldest brother there." ”

In her last life, she lived in the county seat for several years, and there was nothing interesting there except for the crowds.

Moreover, the draft of the county town is very problematic, if there is no well at home, you either have to fetch river water for food, or spend money to buy it.

Buying a load of water is barely enough for a family of three or five to eat for a day, but laundry, rice and vegetables can only go to the nearby pond.

The big pond in the county town is comparable to a stinky ditch, the color of the water is green, it is fine in winter, and in summer, the whole pond is faintly smelly.

Even if the place where you live is close to the river, and the washing is in the flowing river, but you are washing rice at this end, and there are people pouring urinals and brushing the toilet upstream.

That's why she didn't want to go to the county seat.

Chun Niang asked, "Why didn't Bao'er go?" ”

"I still have to study medicine from Master." Sakura explained.

She not only studied medicine, but also practiced martial arts, and she couldn't be left behind to make money by planting golden ears. I couldn't do anything when I went to the county seat.

Chunniang smiled: "Yes, our Bao'er still wants to study medicine, it's my father and mother who are confused, and I forgot about this stubble." ”

Within a few days, the news that Jiang Saburo's family had bought a house in the county town spread all over the township.

This is also a matter of no law, one of Lizheng's responsibilities is to register the property of the villagers, and the fields and properties must be recorded.

Jiang Sanlang had just made a deed in the yamen, and two days later, Sun Lizheng received a notice from the county government asking him to re-register the amount of Jiang Sanlang's property.

Isn't everyone aware of this coming-and-going?

"Alas, did your family really buy a house in the county seat?" When Aunt Wang saw Chunniang, she pulled her to ask.

Chun Niang pulled out her sleeves without a trace and said with a smile: "Where is the house, it's just two rooms." ”

"Hey, two rooms are also houses." Aunt Wang smiled mysteriously and asked in a low voice, "Then are you going to move to the county seat?" Are Erni and Sakura Bao going with you? ”

"How can we, our fields are all here, how can we move to the county seat?"

Chunniang was in a hurry to get out: "Second aunt, I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you." "Let's go away.

Second Aunt Wang didn't give up, and wanted to talk to the past again, but was stopped by the second son: "Mother, the cake is paste, go and take a look." ”

"Oops." Aunt Wang slapped her thigh and hurriedly ran to uncover the pot, but the cakes pasted in the pot were so good that they were not mushy at all.

"A stinky boy! Dare to deceive the old lady! Second Aunt Wang snorted angrily and turned over the cake.

Turning her head, she saw her second son standing by the stove and glaring at him: "What are you looking at?" ”

Wang Erlang: "I'm hungry, wait for the cakes to come out of the pot." ”

"Eat, eat! Just know how to eat! Second Aunt Wang gestured with a spatula in front of her son, and said angrily: "Erni will go to the county seat soon, I'll see what you can do!" ”

"What to do?" Wang Erlang's eyes were staring at the cakes in the pot.

Second Aunt Wang glanced at her son, "Didn't the old lady tell you, get along with Erni Huzi more, and our two families may be able to be in-laws in the future." ”

Wang Erlang reacted at this time, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Mother, how old is Erni?" What am I going to do with her? ”

He is fifteen years old, Erni is only ten years old, what do he have to get along with a yellow-haired girl.
