Old Mrs. Guo didn't come today, and Meng Yu was not at home either. None of the servants in the mansion dared to touch his precious chickens and ducks.
The chickens and ducks, which had been hungry for the whole morning, swarmed over immediately when they saw someone opening the door and coming in, surrounding Meng Yu and Qingtian.
The little mouths kept chattering, and although the voices were still very immature, when they came together it was extremely noisy.
When Qingtian saw the chickens and ducks gathering around, he immediately squatted down happily and touched this and that.
The chicks and ducklings were also very friendly to Sunny Day. They did not attack her, but instead liked to rub her with the side of their beaks.
"Uncle Meng, you're amazing! My mom said most of those chickens and ducks wouldn't survive, but you managed to keep them alive!" Qingtian looked at Meng Yu with admiration. Seeing him standing motionless at the door, he asked, "Uncle Meng, isn't it time for you to feed them? What should you do? I can help!"
Meng Yu was in a dilemma, so he could only take the food prepared by Old Lady Guo and feed her.
But if he were asked to do it, he wouldn't even know what was inside and would have no idea where to start.
Being stared at by Qingtian like that, Meng Yu felt a lot of pressure and sweat started to break out on his back.
Fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Ye, who had put all the things in the kitchen, came over.
Seeing the chickens and ducks in the greenhouse, Mrs. Ye was surprised.
Although I heard Meng Yu say yesterday that all the chickens and ducks were alive and not a single one died.
But Mrs. Ye just thought that he was just coaxing the child and didn't take it to heart at all.
Now that I see so many chickens and ducks, I realize that Meng Yu was not lying.
"You actually managed to support me?"
The first thought that flashed through Mrs. Ye’s mind was, could it be that these chickens and ducks were bought by Meng Yu later?
Qingtian came over with a chick in his hands and said, "Mom, look, the chick that had a red dot last time has grown so big."
The chick that was originally the thinnest has now grown a little bigger than the others.
"Of course, I feed it separately every day!" Meng Yu did not lie. He would come to see these chickens and ducks after lunch every day.
He still remembered the promise he had made to Qingtian that he would take extra care of this chick.
Every time, I would catch this little chick with red dots and take it aside to feed it some millet and insects.
So the one that was originally the smallest is now bigger than the other chicks.
"Uncle Meng, they are hungry, please give them something to eat!" Qingtian urged again.
When Mrs. Ye saw Meng Yu's embarrassed expression, she immediately understood what was going on.
She smiled and helped Meng Yu out, "Qingtian, how about I show you my skills today?
"When Mom lived outside the Great Wall, she was quite good at raising chickens and ducks!"
"Really?" Qingtian looked up at Mrs. Ye. "Mom, can you cook for humans as well as for chickens and ducklings?"
"Of course." Mrs. Ye rolled up her sleeves, asked where the things were, and quickly took the basin over to get them.
Although Meng Yu didn't know how to cook, she prepared everything according to Mrs. Guo's requirements.
Corn, bran, soybean meal, rapeseed cake, millet and some cabbage were all neatly stacked outside the greenhouse.
Mrs. Ye chopped some vegetable stems, mixed them with other things, made a large bowl and brought it into the greenhouse.
The chickens and ducks immediately abandoned Meng Yu and Qingtian, and all followed Mrs. Ye, surrounding her as she came to the feeding trough.
Meng Yu asked Shi Lei to make the trough. Seeing the neat and tidy wood, Mrs. Ye felt that it was a waste.
She used a spoon to evenly divide the food in the bowl into the trough, and the three of them instantly felt a lot more at ease.
The cries suddenly became much quieter, and most of them just focused on eating.
Only a few who couldn't squeeze in were spinning around chattering anxiously.
Qingtian put the chick he had been holding on the ground and said, "Red Dot, hurry up and eat it too, or you won't be able to grab it soon."
Unexpectedly, the red dot was not in a hurry at all, but ran directly to Meng Yu's feet.
Meng Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are quite smart. You know I give you extra meals every day, so you come to see me specially."
After he said that, he found a bowl from the corner of the greenhouse, put some food in it, then took out a small bottle from his arms, poured some insects into it, and placed it in front of Red Dot.
"Okay, eat!"
Red Dot seemed to understand Meng Yu's words and slowly ate the chicken feed and insects in the bowl, in stark contrast to the other chickens and ducks that were fighting for the food.
"This chicken is almost making you a spirit..." As soon as Mrs. Ye said this, an idea came to her mind.
These chickens and ducks are growing so well, especially the red ones. Could it be because of the sunny weather?
Mrs. Ye thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She praised all the credit to Meng Yu.
Meng Yu was so embarrassed by the praise that he quickly said, "Madam You, let's go see the old man first!"
Mrs. Ye then remembered that she had come here after putting her things away just to take Qingtian to see Mr. Cen, but she was delayed until now because of feeding the chickens and almost forgot about the important matter.
At this time, Mr. Cen had no idea that Mrs. Ye and Qingtian had arrived. He was holding a book in his hand, but he couldn't read a single word. His eyes kept glancing at the clock in the corner.
"Looking at the time, it's almost time to go into the city." Elder Cen said to Shi Lei beside him, "Talk about this Meng Yu. We agreed to let him go to pick someone up.
"He set out before daybreak and boasted that he would bring me back before lunch.
