Chapter 282 You are definitely the best!
Ning Xiyue smiled and shouted, "Brother, it's time to eat."
“Here I come.”
Ning Qingyuan patted the dust off his hands, fetched a basin of water to wash his hands and eat. Sitting at the table, he proudly took credit: "Sister, I did a good job, didn't I? The chicken should not be able to fly away when it grows up."
Ning Xiyue scooped a spoonful of egg custard on the rice, nodded and replied: "Very good, now all we need is something to feed the chickens. I think we can get two rough bowls, one for water and one for food."
Ning Qingyuan handed over his bowl and scooped a spoonful of egg custard, waving his hand and saying, "That's not necessary. I've already asked the team's stonemason to make two small stone troughs. You can put it in there and use it later."
Ning Xiyue was so surprised that she stopped eating chopsticks. She was very impressed with her second brother: "Oh, second brother, you are so thoughtful. You have thought of this and even made a stone trough. It's amazing."
Ning Xiyue suddenly became full of confidence when her second brother said that he would take care of the chickens from now on. Just because her second brother was so thorough, she fully believed that he could raise these three chickens to be fat and lay eggs.
"Just wait for the eggs that you can't finish eating in the future. When the chickens are fattened up, you can eat delicious chicken." Ning Qingyuan was not humble at all and said while patting his chest.
"I've been waiting for you. Now let's eat seriously. We'll have some activities after dinner."
The two siblings ate their meal seriously. After the meal, Ning Qingyuan washed the dishes while Ning Xiyue fed the three chickens with a handful of corn grits for pigs.
The three little chicks were still in good spirits. After being locked up in the small space of the basket all the way, they did not show any sign of wilting at all when they arrived at the new place.
It finished eating the corn grits and drinking the water that Ning Xiyue fed it, then walked back and forth in the fence by itself, occasionally lowering its head to peck at the food, looking for it to eat.
There seemed to be no sense of strangeness at all, which made her inexplicably feel that this chicken was easy to raise.
Ning Xiyue was curious and squatted outside the chicken coop for a long time, until Chen Yetu from next door called her. Then she limped to the place where the two kitchens were connected, shaking her numb legs.
Pinching my legs, I couldn't help but yell, "Oh, my legs are so numb, they're killing me, hiss-"
"You've been squatting there for so long, you must be numb now." Chen Yechu joked with a smile, and then said, "Shall we leave now? I'll go to the front to call for help."
Ning Xiyue agreed without saying a word: "Let's go now. This duck is not so easy to catch. We can have more time if we go earlier."
"Okay, let's go now."
After Chen Yetu finished speaking, he walked towards the Youth League Home in front.
Ning Xiyue shook her legs which were still a little numb, and ran to the kitchen to call her second brother.
......
One o'clock in the afternoon.
There is a lush and endless reed marsh by the river, with its long leaves swaying in the river breeze, making rustling sounds.
A louder rustling sound was heard in the reed marsh, and five heads wearing straw hats popped up.
They were the five people, Ning Xiyue, Ning Qingyuan, Chen Yechu, Liu Yao, and Yu Zhiyu, who had sneaked into the lush reed marsh to catch wild ducks while taking their belongings and avoiding others.
After wandering around in the reed marsh, the five people met in a place where there were fewer reeds and no water on the ground, all sweating profusely.
Ning Xiyue sat on the ground, took off her hat to fan herself, wiped the sweat off her face, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, drank a big sip of water, then held the kettle without the lid, looked at others and asked.
"How is it? Did you find anything new? Did you see any wild ducks or duck eggs?"
"I didn't see any big wild ducks, but I did see a few wild duck eggs. However, only one was good. The others were bad." Ning Qingyuan took out a single duck egg and shook it.
"Not bad, I also got a duck egg, which is better than mine. I had bad luck and didn't get any."
Liu Yao put down the backpack, spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders with a look of despair, then picked up her water bottle and took a few big gulps to quench her thirst.
"My comrade Liu, I didn't pick up any eggs either. Haha, we are in the same trench now." Ning Xiyue held a water bottle and hugged Liu Yao, the little cutie who shared the same pain as her.
Liu Yao pretended to sob and cry a few times: "I finally found the organization."
The show is over, just sit back and listen to what others are saying.
"I found a nest of good duck eggs here, ten in total."
Yu Zhiyu took off the backpack on his back and placed it in the middle, revealing ten duck eggs surrounded by straw in the basket, some white-shelled duck eggs and two green duck eggs.
"That's great." The four of them gave a thumbs up and praised at the same time.
"I picked up twenty eggs." Ning Qingyuan took out a few eggs from the backpack, looked at Ning Xiyue and Liu Yao, and said with a smile: "How about I give five to each of you, so that it won't be zero eggs."
"No, I want to be self-reliant and find eggs by myself. I believe I can find them." Ning Xiyue proudly refused the duck eggs in her second brother's hand. They are just duck eggs. She will have them.
Liu Yao also refused. She was still looking forward to having her backpack filled with duck eggs that she had picked up.
Ning Xiyue looked at the only person who had not yet announced: "What did Ye Chu gain?"
Chen Yetu smiled faintly, put down the backpack, reached in with both hands, and took out a little wild duck with its eyes closed and its head dozing off.
She held the wild duck in her hands, her head drooping on her left shoulder, and looked at everyone with a helpless snort: "Little duck."
This furry little duck was so carefree that it didn't make any sound and continued to sleep soundly.
The four of them looked at the little duck in her hand in silence for three seconds, then chuckled and said in unison: "This is amazing, this is amazing."
"Ye Chu, you are definitely the best!" Ning Xiyue couldn't help laughing anymore after she said that.
