At this time, Wang Xiulan happily took out a small cardboard box from the warehouse.

There was a "chirp......" cry from the box.

Gu Yunyao asked in surprise: "Did you get a chick?" ”

Wang Xiulan nodded and smiled and said, "Mother, I changed ten chicks, you can see how happy it is." ”

Gu Yunyao leaned her head over to look, and saw that the tender yellow fluffy chicks looked very cute.

"Okay, give them some millet to eat."

"Xiaomi?"

Wang Xiulan's eyes widened suddenly, and the wind was messy.

Millet is a lot of gold and expensive things, for chicks to eat?

Gu Yunyao then remembered that people in this era are thrifty, and millet is reluctant to give chickens to eat.

"Then mix some cornmeal with vegetable leaves and give them to eat."

Wang Xiulan was still reluctant, and kindly reminded, "Mother, there is rice bran at home?" ”

Gu Yunyao shook her head and said, "They are too small, wait until they are a little bigger and then give them rice bran to eat." ”

Wang Xiulan nodded in embarrassment.

Gu Yunyao sighed, the family was too poor, and her daughter-in-law was reluctant to do anything.

After digging the yam, Gu Yunyao still took the children to cut pigweed, pick mushrooms, and collect firewood.

The chickens at home are all fed by Wang Xiulan.

When she woke up that morning, she found that there were only three of the ten chicks left in the cardboard box, and her hands and feet were cold.

How did a chick lose seven?

Did you run out on your own? Or was it taken away by the yellow skin?

She was unwilling to look everywhere, and searched all the places in the house, but there was still nothing.

Suddenly frustrated, the chicken cubs were exchanged for polished rice, and now she has lost seven, she is really distressed.

I regret putting the chickens in the barn, and if I put them in the bedroom, I might not lose them.

However, she felt sorry for her two children and her husband who was tired all day.

The chick crows are really noisy, and if they were placed in the bedroom, the two children and their husbands would not be able to sleep well.

That's why she put the chicks in the barn, and who knew that something like this would happen.

She felt like the sky was falling.

During the meal, Wang Xiulan finally saw her mother come back, and she said pitifully: "Mother, seven chicken cubs have been lost." ”

Gu Yunyao replied apologetically, "Don't worry, I'll give away those chickens." ”

In fact, this morning, Gu Yunyao threw seven chicken cubs into the space.

Worried that the chicks were running around, she blocked the corners with branches.

I searched in the thatched hut in the space and found half a bag of millet, which she mixed with vegetable leaves for the chickens to eat.

The chick ate happily and chirped gratefully to ......her.

In the morning, time was in a hurry, and she forgot to tell her daughter-in-law.

When Wang Xiulan heard her mother-in-law's words, her mind wandered, her mother was with the dragon and phoenix fetus all day long, and she didn't see her interacting with others.

Could it be that she gave the chicken cub to Chang Dani's mung bean eyes?

She suddenly shivered, could it be that her mother had a falling out with Chang Dani on the surface, but in fact the two of them were okay again.

She didn't want to go back to the way she used to be, and she didn't want to live like that.

Suddenly his mind became uncertain.

I don't have to do anything, and I don't even have the patience to coax my children, and I am looking forward to my husband's return.

Gu Yunyao felt that her daughter-in-law was a little wrong, and she didn't think about it at all.

Well, women are in a bad mood for a few days every month, maybe the daughter-in-law and aunt are here.

In the evening, Wang Xiulan finally saw Lu Dajun coming back, she was like a withered seedling finally seeing water, and said with tears in her eyes: "Dajun ......"

Lu Dajun looked at his wife and didn't know what was going on.

He was shocked in his heart, remembering that he had just returned from the army and saw his wife and daughter being tortured by his mother, and his wife's eyes were also full of expectation.

He found an opportunity to ask her in a low voice, "Wife, what happened, is my mother trying to trouble you and the children again?" ”

Wang Xiulan shook her head, saw that there was no one around, and whispered in horror: "No, I'm worried that my mother and Chang Dani are okay again." ”
