After checking the time, Du Wanying prepared to go buy a chicken to make soup for her grandmother.
Thinking of the chickens, Du Wanying sighed as she looked at the several pairs of livestock in the space.
It's a shame I only bought a few pairs of each type of livestock. Otherwise, why would I need to go out and buy chickens? I could just get them from the space.
Forget it, I'd rather not waste these pairs of chickens. I'll keep them for breeding. As for the chickens for grandma to use for making soup, I'll have to go out and buy them.
"Yingying, don't lock the door."
Just as Du Wanying was locking the door, a shout suddenly came.
She thought to herself: Why does this voice sound so much like Dad's? But that's not right. Didn't he go to work? Who was calling her then?
Confused, Du Wanying turned around and looked behind her. "Dad, it really is you. I thought I heard it wrong. You and Third Brother didn't go to work?"
"Didn't I take your brother to buy chicken? I thought I'd save you from having to go out and buy it." Father Du paused and continued, "Your third brother and I went everywhere we could, but we couldn't find any!"
After hearing what Mr. Du said, Du Wanying felt warm in her heart. It felt so good to have someone thinking about her and caring about her.
A smile flashed across her delicate face. "Dad, if we can't find any, let's go buy something else to nourish Grandma. Chicken isn't the only thing that can nourish her."
"Don't worry about this. Your brother and I will go out for a walk later!"
Du Yuanzhan also agreed: "Yes, leave this matter to me and Dad."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Xiaofang came over carrying a big rooster.
"Yingying, look what I brought?"
"Wow, a big rooster! Where did you buy it? My dad and third brother went out for a long time but couldn't buy a chicken." Du Wanying rushed over in surprise.
He Xiaofang's face flushed visibly when she heard her best friend's words. She said softly, "I just met it on the street. An old lady carrying a basket asked me if I wanted to buy some. I thought that Grandma Du's house must need some supplements since she was in the hospital, so I bought it."
Du Wanying sighed inwardly, "Wow! Isn't this the perfect heroine?!" Her father and third brother had been searching for it for ages but couldn't find it, but He Xiaofang didn't even have to go out of her way to find it! Instead, it was delivered to her.
"Xiao Fang, you are my savior! How much is this chicken?"
Du Wanying took money out of her pocket (actually she used her pocket to cover it up, from the space) as she spoke.
"No..." He Xiaofang said one word and then forced herself to hold back the next words.
Even though she and Du Wanying were close friends, there was a saying: Even brothers should settle accounts! And if she didn't want the money, Du Wanying wouldn't take it either.
"Five dollars."
He Xiaofang also asked for a lot. This is a pheasant, and the aunt also has a rabbit, all of which are five yuan each!
Du Wanying thought: Five yuan a piece isn't expensive! After all, meat is so hard to come by these days, and five yuan a piece for wild animals is reasonable! After all, the auntie is risking being discovered.
Nowadays, private transactions are considered speculation and profiteering, and if you get caught, you will be punished!
Du Wanying remembered that in her past life, in the 1980s, some people were forced to eat peanuts due to speculation!
After Du Wanying handed the money to He Xiaofang, she took the big rooster!
"Yingying, you must thank Xiaofang very much. She has been so helpful."
"Dad, I know."
"Okay, then your third brother and I will go to the outskirts of the city."
Du Wanying was a little curious. Why did her father and third brother not go to work or go to the hospital to see grandma, but instead go to the suburbs?
"Dad, what are you and Third Brother doing in the suburbs?"
"After your grandma is discharged from the hospital, I plan to take her home to live. After all, your grandparents are old and now they have broken their legs. I am worried about them continuing to live in the countryside.
If we bring your grandparents over, Yuanzhan will have no place to live. So I plan to build a room here for your third brother to live in.
But bricks are hard to buy now. If you want to buy bricks, you must first go to the county’s first-level building materials department to apply. Only after approval can you go to the corresponding brick and tile factory to buy them!
Rather than going through all the trouble of applying, which might not even be approved, it’s better to make the bricks yourself!
Du Wanying wanted to laugh when she heard this. Her third brother had just moved from a large room of 10 square meters to a small house of 6 square meters. It had only been a short time, but she didn't expect that her third brother didn't even have a small house to live in.
Speaking of adding to the building, it is true that many first-floor residents here have added to the building. After all, every household has a large number of people, so what should they do if there is not enough space? The only option is to add to the building.
The Du family didn't add to the house because they had enough rooms. Now if my grandparents want to move in, there won't be enough space, so they can only add a room for my third brother.
Thinking of this, Du Wanying looked at He Xiaofang. Her father and third brother were both gone, and she didn't want to stay idle at home, but she couldn't just leave He Xiaofang alone!
He Xiaofang understood Du Wanying's meaning immediately. She also wanted to talk more... so she said, "Uncle, can I go? I also want to see how to make bricks myself."
"Why not? If you want to go, come with us."
Du Wanying also took the opportunity to say, "Dad, let's go together. I don't have anything to do at home anyway."
Her father and third brother took leave to build a house, so as an unemployed vagrant, she must go and help?
When Mr. Du heard what his daughter said, he was unhappy. Why did she have nothing to do at home? She was supposed to prepare three meals a day for their whole family!
Even if it was his precious daughter who said it herself, he wouldn't allow it!!
"How come you're okay? Aren't you supposed to take care of our family and our grandparents' three meals a day?"
Du Yuanzhan quickly agreed, "Yes, little sister, you stay home and cook for us, the three of us can go."
When Mr. Du heard this, he glared at his silly son. "Doesn't this kid even think before he speaks? He even said that the three of them can go alone."
Is this even possible? They were taking a little girl to the outskirts of town. If someone saw them, no!! They would definitely be seen.
What if someone saw this? He really liked He Xiaofang, and it would be nice if she could be the daughter-in-law of the Du family, but right now, He Xiaofang wasn't his daughter-in-law, was she?
He just said that because he felt sorry for his daughter. He was afraid that Du Wanying’s efforts would not be taken seriously, so he said that. But he never said from the beginning to the end that he would not take his daughter with him???
The more Du Shuisheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could give Du Yuan a big slap right now!
Du Wanying looked at Du Yuanzhan with a teasing look on her face. "Third brother, don't you think of He Xiaofang as an outsider?" "Could it be that Third brother likes He Xiaofang?"
The reason why Du Wanying thought so was mainly because in this era, it was said that holding hands meant getting married.
If this happened in the previous life, it would definitely be a normal thing.
However, if Xiaofang could be her third sister-in-law, it would be a good choice, but now she doesn't know what Xiaofang means, so it would be more appropriate for her to follow her.
