There were twenty eggs to hatch, and the two chickens laid six more eggs, so there were now twenty-six eggs in total.
Tang Yulan was extremely excited.
There are three people in their family, but they only have two laying hens. Even if each hens lays one egg a day, that's only two eggs a day.
Where is enough to eat?
Even if Jiang Shixun could make money by writing articles, eggs are not something you can buy every day, so you have to rely on luck.
So they usually give Jiang Zhiying one egg, and she and Jiang Shixun share the other.
Sometimes the hen is not very strong and may even lay only one egg.
After eating so much, there are no extra eggs left.
Now, I can have six eggs in one night, which is four more than before!
Even if each of them eats one, there will still be three eggs left!
Jiang Zhiying explained: "It grows faster in space."
She was young now and it was not easy for her to explain the time issue to Tang Yulan, so she simply changed the way she said it.
Tang Yulan was even more surprised when she heard this: "Growing fast? So, chicks can hatch faster inside?"
"Is that so?" Jiang Zhiying nodded and asked Tang Yulan, "By the way, how long does it usually take to hatch chicks?"
"It's usually about twenty days, right? I'm not exactly sure. Anyway, the time isn't fixed; it can be early or late, but it's probably around twenty days."
After Tang Yulan said this, Jiang Zhiying understood.
If it takes more than twenty days outside, then the chicks will probably be hatched by tomorrow night.
It seems that after she has breakfast, she will have to go dig earthworms to feed the chickens.
We can't just let them eat grass, right?
Tang Yulan quickly picked out the six eggs that had just been laid. She shone the flashlight on them one by one and quickly picked them out.
Jiang Zhiying watched curiously from the side, without saying a word, but wrote down the characteristics of the two eggs.
But she was not stupid. After returning to the space with the eggs to be hatched, she marked the eggshells with edible dye to avoid confusion later.
When I went out again, it was almost time for dinner.
Jiang Shixun made breakfast. Because Tang Yulan was pregnant, he took the initiative to take over the housework and did not let Tang Yulan do it.
It is only March now, and the temperature has just warmed up, and many small vegetables have just begun to sprout.
So there aren't many dishes to eat.
Jiang Shixun stir-fried vegetables with bacon, cooked vegetable porridge, made a cold dish of houttuynia cordata, and even made egg custard specially for Jiang Zhiying.
There are two salted duck eggs with the porridge.
Because it was too salty, I didn't dare let Jiang Zhiying eat it.
After breakfast, Jiang Shixun and Tang Yulan changed their clothes, sent Jiang Zhiying to Tang's house, said hello to Su Cuixia, and rode their bicycles to the county.
The Tang family had already had breakfast and were getting ready to go to work.
Jiang Zhiying was still too young, so she stayed with the children.
There are many children in the Tang family. In addition to the three boys Tang Jiamu, Tang Jialin, and Tang Jiasen, there are also four girls Tang Jiaqin, Tang Jiaqi, Tang Jiashu and Tang Jiahua.
Tang Jiamu is fourteen years old, Tang Jialin is twelve years old, Tang Jiasen is ten years old, Tang Jiaqin is eleven years old, and Tang Jiaqi is also ten years old.
They are all grown-up kids. They have to go to school on weekdays, and they also have to work and earn work points during the weekend holidays.
Tang Jiashu and Tang Jiahua were the younger ones, so they were the ones who took care of Jiang Zhiying.
After everyone else left, Tang Jiashu asked Jiang Zhiying, "Zhuzhu, where do you want to go?"
Jiang Zhiying took out the small shovel and small jar she had prepared and said, "I'm going to dig for earthworms! Are you guys coming?"
