"What's the fire situation inside? Are you all okay?" the captain asked with concern as he arrived at the door.
"Uncle Captain, what's the fire?" Zhao Xiufen hurried out to greet the captain after seeing him.
"Didn't your house catch fire?" The captain looked Zhao Xiufen up and down.
Although he looked rather disheveled, with his face and body covered in black dust, he looked relaxed and did not appear to have encountered any disaster.
"No!" Zhao Xiufen invited the team leader, the educated youth and other villagers into the yard.
As soon as the captain entered the room, he ran straight to the kitchen where black smoke was coming out.
Shen Mingan, who was outside the kitchen, greeted the captain: "Uncle Captain."
"Ming'an, what's going on?" the captain asked, pointing at the kitchen where black smoke was coming out.
"I guess it's because it hasn't been burned for too long and the flue is blocked!" Shen Ming'an sighed.
Hearing Shen Mingan's words, the captain breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, I thought there was a fire!"
"I'm sorry! Captain, we just wanted to light a fire and make breakfast, but we didn't expect such a huge smoke to suddenly appear." Zhao Xiufen said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for scaring everyone."
"It's okay, as long as nothing happens!" The team leader waved his hand and said, "I was scared when I saw the black smoke all over the sky at home! After work, I'll arrange for a few villagers to help you clean out the chimney."
"No need, Captain. Everyone is very tired after work. Although my legs are not good, my arms are fine. I will go back and clean the chimney with Ayang." Shen Mingan quickly refused.
These disabled people were just pretending to be disabled. If they really asked the villagers to help, they would feel even more guilty.
Fortunately, the family business has been successfully divided, and these disabled people won't be able to pretend to be disabled for much longer.
"Oh my god, why are there so many eggs?" Someone shouted.
I guess the villagers who came to help accidentally saw the baskets of eggs carried by Shen Qingli and the others.
Hearing the noise, everyone else also ran towards the chicken coop.
"There must be about fifty or sixty of them, right?" a villager estimated.
"Could it be that Ming'an's family just exchanged it with someone?" one of the villagers guessed.
"Well, it's possible that they were exchanged for Ming'an and the others to replenish their bodies!" another echoed.
"It wasn't exchanged with anyone!" Aunt Wang, who knew the truth, hurriedly explained to the villagers, "It was laid by this bald chicken."
"Is this true?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"That is, how can a chicken lay so many eggs?"
Seeing that the others didn't believe her, Aunt Wang said anxiously, "I saw this bald chicken lay six eggs in one go this morning! If you don't believe me, ask those educated youth; they were there too!"
"Aunt Wang is right. We saw it with our own eyes." Jia Jia testified for Aunt Wang.
The other educated youth also nodded in agreement.
After hearing what the educated youth and Aunt Wang said, the other villagers stared at the bald chicken and talked about it.
Everyone was amazed.
Many people recognize this bald chicken. It is the old hen in Old Shen’s family that is about to pass its egg-laying period.
People who often visited Old Shen's house knew that when this chicken was at Old Shen's house, it would only lay one egg every few days, and sometimes even only lay one egg every ten days. Old Mrs. Shen often scolded this chicken in front of them.
But no one expected that after the separation, this bald chicken would become like a spirit and lay so many eggs.
Could it be that the feng shui here is good and brings good luck to this chicken?
Or is it that the third branch of the Shen family has good luck?
That’s not right!
In the past, the third branch of the Shen family had the worst luck.
Could it be that the fortunes of the Shen family changed after the third branch was separated?
Very likely!
Otherwise, how to explain this incredible aspect?
Although due to this special period, the villagers dare not say many things out loud, but this does not prevent them from fantasizing in their hearts or in front of their close ones!
"Ahem!" The team leader coughed when he saw the villagers talking endlessly. "It's getting late now. Since Ming'an's house isn't on fire, let's all go back and clean up so we can get back to work."
After hearing what the captain said, the villagers took their buckets and pans and went home while talking.
After Shen Qingli and Zhao Xiufen sent the villagers and educated youth out of the courtyard, they closed the door and returned home.
At this time, the black smoke coming out of the kitchen has begun to decrease.
Shen Mingan rushed into the kitchen, covering his mouth and nose, and brought out the clay pot filled with eggs, cushioned by the hem of his clothes.
The clay pot was blackened by the smoke.
Fortunately, the eggs inside were already cooked at this time.
The three Shen Qingyu brothers helped their father rinse all the eggs with cold water. After the eggs were almost cool, each of them got two.
Even 98K got two eggs.
"Woof woof!" 98K looked at the two unpeeled eggs in front of him and barked twice at Shen Qingyang who was separating the eggs.
Shen Qingyang looked at the dog looking at him in confusion.
What's going on?
Is it thanking me for giving it eggs?
"Woof woof!" 98K barked twice again and nudged the egg in front of it with its nose.
"You're welcome, Xiao Jiuba, just eat!" Shen Qingyang smiled and touched 98K's head.
98K rolled his eyes.
I really want to speak!
It's so difficult to communicate with this guy with no emotional intelligence!
"Woof woof!" 98K barked at Shen Qingyang twice again, and at the same time used its front paws to push the eggs in front of Shen Qingyang twice.
"Xiao Jiuba, are you going to give me the egg?" Shen Qingyang misunderstood again, "No, I have some too, just eat it!"
