Zhao Xiufen finally accepted the old hen that Mu Si brought.
Mu Si was afraid that Zhao Xiufen would go back on her word, so he carried the old hen and asked Zhao Xiufen to lead the way. He wanted to personally deliver the old hen to the chicken coop at his third aunt's house.
Zhao Xiufen had no choice but to lead Mu Si, but she felt more satisfied with Mu Si in her heart.
The two men threw the skinny old hen into the chicken coop while Bald Chicken was cursing.
After dealing with the chicken issue, Zhao Xiufen took Mu Si into the inner room.
On the other side, Shen Qingli took Shen Yuyan’s hand and asked quietly: “Sister Yuyan, what are the two characters in my brother-in-law’s name, Mousse?”
"Uh...I don't know either." Shen Yuyan said awkwardly.
Only then did Shen Qingli remember that her cousin was illiterate!
My mother once said that my cousin wanted to go to school with the boys in the family, but was severely beaten by my fifth grandmother.
Her parents just watched coldly from the side.
"Cousin, do you want to learn to read?" Shen Qingli asked tentatively.
"Can I?" Shen Yuyan's eyes sparkled.
"Of course!" Shen Qingli nodded. "Aren't your sister-in-law and brother-in-law both in high school? Ask them to find the first-grade textbooks and teach you. If they refuse to teach, you can come to me and I will teach you."
"Thank you, Xiaoli!" Shen Yuyan's eyes were full of joy.
She really wants to learn to read!
But her family members did not agree with her going to school, so she had to give up.
Now that her husband is willing to support her two younger siblings to go to high school, he should also support her learning to read, right?
Shen Yuyan followed Shen Qingli into the house in a happy mood.
The "disabled people" including Shen Mingan in the room had already made preparations.
When Shen Qingli and Shen Yuyan came in, Shen Mingan and Shen Qingyu were both sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a quilt covering their legs.
Shen Qingxuan and Shen Qingyang sat on chairs.
"Uncle San, hello, cousins." Shen Yuyan greeted the people in the room with a smile.
Shen Ming'an, Shen Qingyu, Shen Qingxuan, and Shen Qingyang all smiled and nodded in response.
When Zhao Xiufen and Mu Si came in, they were already chatting and laughing.
This is the first time that Mu Si has seen his wife smile so happily when she returns to her parents' home!
In the past, every time I went back to my parents’ home, it was considered a good thing if I didn’t look sad, let alone smile.
"Mu Si, let me introduce you..." Zhao Xiufen pointed at Shen Mingan and others to introduce Mu Si.
Mu Si was very curious about the person who could make his wife relax and laugh.
With that curiosity, Mu Si quickly integrated into the conversation of Shen Mingan and others.
Because they had a great time chatting, Shen Yuyan and Mu Si stayed for more than an hour before leaving.
"I'm starving!" Shen Qingli shouted, holding her stomach.
Apart from the eggs in the morning, she, her father and her elder brother only ate some wild fruits to fill their stomachs today, and they were already starving.
Although she was hungry before, they couldn't bear to leave her cousin and her husband behind to eat.
"There is no pot at home, so I made egg soup in a clay pot. Although the pot stickers I borrowed from the educated youth are cold, we can soak them in the egg soup and eat them." Zhao Xiufen said as she went to the kitchen to serve the meal.
The four brothers and sisters helped to serve the food and get the bowls and chopsticks, while Shen Mingan cleared the table and prepared to eat.
While eating, Shen Qingli was thinking about the chicken her cousin's husband had sent her: "Will this chicken suddenly lay eggs again?"
Shen Qingli was very surprised by the bald chicken's crazy egg-laying as if it didn't care about emptying the eggs.
I wonder why it suddenly lays so many eggs and looks so energetic?
Shouldn't it look hollow and empty?
"It's already six years old. How could it possibly lay eggs again?" Zhao Xiufen shook her head. "You haven't seen that chicken. It's so skinny and limp. I don't know if it's sick."
"Isn't it fowl plague?" Shen Qingli asked in surprise, "Then don't put it together with the bald chickens, otherwise the bald chickens will also be infected, and we won't have any eggs to eat!"
"Then I'll go catch it right now." Zhao Xiufen was also shocked when she heard Shen Qingli's words.
"Don't worry, I'll catch it." Shen Ming'an held down his wife who wanted to get up.
Not long after, Shen Mingan washed his hands and returned to the house to continue eating: "I tied it with a hemp rope and put it in the yard. I will build a temporary nest for it after dinner."
"Dad, I'll have dinner with you." Shen Qingyu broke the corn tortilla into pieces and soaked it in the hot vegetable and egg soup.
"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Shen Qingyang also said hurriedly.
"No need to argue. There are only four men in the family. No one can escape." Shen Qingxuan used his slender fingers to break the corn tortilla in his hand into the bowl in front of him bit by bit.
"To be honest, it's inconvenient without a pot!" Shen Qingli sighed.
Without a pot, you can't even cook.
Without a pot, you can't even have a hot meal.
well!
Shen Qingli sighed, resigned herself to her fate, took a bite of the corn tortilla and drank a sip of soup.
After dinner, the two women, Shen Qingli and Zhao Xiufen, were responsible for clearing the table and washing the dishes, while the remaining four men went to the yard to build a temporary chicken coop farther away from the bald chickens.
Yes, a makeshift chicken coop.
The bald chicken's chicken coop at this time is just a simple temporary chicken coop.
Because of the tight time and lack of materials, the chicken coop has not been built yet.
I have to go to the commune tomorrow, so I probably won’t have time to get the materials to build it.
After Shen Qingli finished cleaning the table, she was kicked out of the kitchen by Zhao Xiufen.
Shen Qingli glanced at 98K. The guy had stopped digging the hole and was now teasing the wilted old hen.
"98K, stay away from it! Aren't you afraid of being infected with chicken pox by it?" Shen Qingli shouted from a distance.
"Chicken plague?" 98K stared at the old hen in front of him in confusion.
Shen Qingli guessed it was scanning because she seemed to see a flash of green just now.
"There's no such thing as chicken plague!" 98K said after completing the scan, "But this chicken is definitely sick."
"What disease?" Shen Qingli asked curiously.
"Gallstones!" 98K curled his lips and said in Shen Qingli's mind.
"What did you say?" Shen Qingli was so shocked that she forgot to say this sentence in her mind.
"I said this old hen has serious gallstones, and it's a big one!" 98K repeated.
What happened to the shit shoveler?
Isn’t it just an old hen with gallstones?
There are plenty of patients undergoing gallstone surgery in the hospital every day, but I don’t see the poop shovelers getting excited at all.
An old hen destined to be eaten, it's just gallstones, it's really not that serious!
"As for! Of course not!" Shen Qingli said excitedly in her mind, "That's a chicken treasure!"
"Jibao?" 98K tilted his head and thought for a long time, "I think I've heard this name somewhere."
"Chicken treasure, also known as chicken yellow, is the gallbladder stone of chicken. It is also a precious and scarce Chinese medicinal material. The complete chicken treasure is mostly egg-shaped, light in weight, golden or yellowish-brown in color, and looks delicate and shiny." Shen Qingli briefly introduced the chicken treasure to 98K in her mind.
"So this thing is valuable?" 98K continued to ask.
"It's sold by the gram, just like the hundred-year-old ginseng. Do you think it's worth it?"
