Chapter 110 110 Helpless Silence
Su Xiao left with Tian Niu and officially began collecting eggs.
Several hours have passed since I cleaned the chicken coop this morning, and there are still quite a few chicken droppings scattered on the ground.
Su Xiao couldn't bear to step on it, so she grabbed a broom and quickly swept a clean path before starting her work.
The eggs were freshly laid and still warm, but some of them were quite dirty, with blood and chicken droppings on them.
Well, thank goodness she wore gloves, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to do it.
Although I really want to adapt to life in the countryside, some habits are already ingrained in my bones.
While Su Xiao was working diligently, several old men sat together, sighing deeply.
Old Man Gong was getting a little annoyed, but finally made up his mind and suggested, "Old Hua, why don't you go back and take a look?"
"No." Old Man Hua's lips trembled, and his beard quivered, probably because his heart was not at peace. But his belief was very firm. "I can't abandon you and expose my whereabouts just for my own selfish desires. Wouldn't all my efforts over the years have been in vain?"
"So many years have passed, and no one has come looking for me. I'm afraid they've already forgotten about me." Old Man Gong sneered self-deprecatingly, his face twisting for a moment, his eyes fierce. "Even if they do come looking for me, I'm not afraid. I'll just fight them. I've been hiding for so many years, I'm already tired of it."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Old Cai rarely put on a stern face, and glared at Old Gong. "Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about the comrades behind the scenes, think about your mission and responsibility. How can you act willfully according to your own desires?"
Old Man Gong was scolded, but dared not refute, and could only remain silent.
After a long while, the old man said wearily, "Alright, we've waited for so many years, I don't mind waiting any longer. I'm fine, you can all go about your business."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Everyone watched his desolate figure as he walked away, and sighed helplessly.
After collecting the chicken and duck eggs, Su Xiao returned to the goose nest.
As soon as I stepped into the geese's territory, a large white goose rushed over again.
"Goose, goose, goose..."
Su Xiao tensed up again, too scared to move.
"Little Black, go back." As soon as Sweetie's voice rang out, the big white goose stopped again, silently turned around, and returned to the flock. After a while, it disappeared into the group of big white geese.
This effect is amazing.
Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken, and said, "Sweetie, thank goodness you were here. By the way, why did you call it Little Black? It's clearly a big white goose."
“No, Little Black is black. It has a tuft of black feathers on its forehead, unlike the other white geese.” Sweetie said proudly, her bright eyes sparkling.
"Really?" Su Xiao thought for a moment, then couldn't remember. She smiled and said, "Then I'll have to observe it more carefully next time. If it's really as you say, then calling it Xiao Hei is quite fitting and unique."
After collecting all the eggs, Su Xiao began counting, sorting, and packing them into boxes.
Clean all the eggs that were covered in chicken droppings, line the box with a layer of straw, then arrange the eggs of roughly the same size in neat rows. After arranging one layer, add another layer of straw to prevent the eggs from colliding and getting damaged during transport.
"Sister, you're so smart!" Sweetie looked at her with admiration.
"Hehe, what's wrong with that? Didn't the old lady do it this way before?" Su Xiao was a little curious.
Sweetie pouted and shook her head, "She doesn't put out straw or clean it properly, and she often breaks eggs."
