Chapter 10 Hatching Chicks

More than half a month later, Ye Li's home in the end times took shape.

After her modification, the furnishings in the house became what she liked.

The once dilapidated balcony is now full of vitality, growing various crops, among which her small vegetable garden is the best-growing one.

Especially the cabbage and mustard greens, they grew very well and took up half of the vegetable garden.

When I got up in the morning and watered the plants, the tender green leaves were covered with dew and sparkled in the sun. In the gloomy end of the world, Ye Li couldn't help but feel cheerful.

I get up in the morning, water the crops as usual, work in the fields, and then make breakfast in the kitchen while looking out at the crops I planted.

“Chichi…”

Ye Li turned her head and looked outside the kitchen in surprise. Was it an illusion? Did she hear some sound?

“Chichi…”

Another sound was heard. Ye Li put down the cabbage in her hand and walked to the bedroom. This time she heard clearly that there was a "chirp" sound coming from her simple incubator.

Ye Li ran over happily and opened the cardboard box. A furry chick popped out and was trying hard to stand firm.

"It actually hatched a chick!" Ye Li reached out and picked up the chick, unable to resist touching its head with his fingers. "Finally, I'm not the only living thing!"

God knows how Ye Li got through the past twenty days. She was almost going sick from being alone. No one talked to her, so she could only talk to herself. If that didn't work, she would talk to the crops planted on her balcony.

Ye Li checked the remaining eggs again and found that two of them had cracks on their surfaces, while the remaining eggs had not changed at all.

It seems that not all eggs can hatch into chicks. Ye Li suddenly remembered that in order to hatch chicks, the eggs must be fertilized.

She was so lucky! Three of the eggs were fertilized, so chicks hatched.

If the eggs were not fertilized, no matter how carefully she cared for them, no chicks would hatch.

"My little baby, I'm so lucky!" Ye Li held the chick in his arms, bent down and kissed the newborn chick, with the corners of his mouth raised so much that he couldn't lower them.

A few days later, the remaining two fertilized eggs also hatched chicks.

Ye Li now has three chicks.

She took out a little bit of millet that she was reluctant to eat, soaked it in water, and fed it to the chicks.

When the chicks grew up a little, Ye Li let them into the vegetable garden to stroll around, letting them help to remove insects from his vegetables. The feces they excreted could also be used directly as fertilizer for the vegetables, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.

As for the unhatched eggs, Ye Li made a big bowl of egg custard. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so she almost ate the whole bowl.

The chicks grew much slower than Ye Li had imagined. After another month, they didn't seem to have grown much, but she could tell their genders. She got a rooster and two hens.

When the hen grows up, she can lay eggs and then hatch more chicks, so she will have more and more chickens.

Fortunately, the floor she was on was high and spacious, so the crowing of roosters every morning would not reveal her location.

Moreover, as the three chickens grew up, she no longer had to worry about pests in the vegetables in her garden. Ye Li was also happier than when she was alone before. Interacting and talking with the three chickens and observing their every move was enough to keep Ye Li happy for half a day.
