When Niu Dali heard Chen Guihua taking the initiative to take on the work, he didn't care. After all, being able to be lazy was a good thing. Thinking of this, he went into the house and lay on the bamboo lounge chair, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
After Chen Guihua took the old hen from Niu Dali, she turned around to look at Niu Dali's back as he walked into the house. How could she let that shameless Liu Dami eat the old hen that she had fattened with great difficulty?
She took the old hen back to the chicken coop, put the hen back, and then picked out a castrated chicken with messy feathers and a look of lethargy from the corner.
If I remember correctly, in the previous life, this chicken was infected with fowl plague, which killed all the chickens in the chicken coop. Although it has not fallen ill yet, judging from its listless appearance, it should be about to fall ill.
The sick chicken and the old vixen, a perfect match, not bad! Not bad!
The concessions and tolerance in the previous life did not earn me any respect. In this case, I might as well boldly do something that makes me happy. At least if I am in a good mood, I can live a few more years.
After Chen Guihua tied up the castrated chicken with a rope, she casually threw it next to the stove and then started to boil water.
After a while, the hot water was boiled, and Chen Guihua cut open the chicken's neck and let out the blood. The next step was to remove the feathers and open the belly.
Chen Guihua, who was quick and nimble, cooked the chicken soup in just one hour, and the aroma of the chicken soup filled the small rural courtyard.
Niu Dali, who smelled the fragrance in the house, also came out to check on the situation. "Guihua, is your chicken soup ready?"
"It's ready. Come and try it. How does it taste?"
As she spoke, Chen Guihua had already filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Niu Dali.
Niu Dali took the chicken soup and put it in front of his nose and smelled it. It smelled so good!
He thought to himself: The conditions in the countryside are not good, and we can only eat chicken during the Chinese New Year. Today, thanks to Liu Damei, I can drink chicken soup.
"Mom, why does our house smell like chicken soup?"
Niu Tiezhu, who had just entered the door, smelled the fragrance and walked to Chen Guihua.
Chen Guihua smiled and explained, "Your father's distant relative is sick, and your father wants to make a bowl of chicken soup as a gift. I served him a bowl. Do you want to try it too?"
Why would you ask for such delicious chicken soup? Niu Tiezhu swallowed his saliva as he walked in.
"Mom, give me some chicken soup too!"
"Don't worry, there are some, there are some, how can we miss you!"
Neither the ungrateful father nor his son is a good person. If we need to deal with them, we must deal with them together. How can we leave out this good eldest son?
Chen Guihua couldn't help but smile as she watched the father and son drink the chicken soup and eat a few pieces of chicken.
At this time, Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe, who had just returned from the fields with their trouser legs rolled up and mud on their feet, also entered the house.
Because Chen Guihua favors Niu Tiezhu, she leaves all the hard farm work to Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe.
As soon as the two children entered the yard, they saw Niu Tiezhu and Niu Dali drinking chicken soup, and they couldn't help swallowing their saliva, but neither of them asked about drinking chicken soup.
Niu Xiahe asked with concern, "Mom, how do you make chicken soup at home? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing Niu Xiahe's words, Shen Guihua felt warm in her heart. This was a truly caring little cotton-padded jacket. When encountering something different from the past, she cared about her health first. In her previous life, she only had Niu Dali and Niu Tiezhu in her eyes, and she didn't notice the well-behaved daughter beside her.
"Mom, it's okay. This is the chicken soup your dad prepared for his seriously ill relative." Shen Guihua smiled. "The food I prepared for you and the third child is still in the pot. Wait a minute."
As she spoke, Shen Guihua turned to go into the kitchen, but Niu Chunsheng entered the kitchen before her. "Mom, you are old, you should get more rest."
As he was speaking, Niu Chunsheng had already entered the kitchen and placed the fried soybeans he had made on the dark stove on the square table next to the stove.
Chen Guihua and Niu Xiahe also came in and sat at the square table.
Compared with the chicken soup that the father and son drank outside the house, the porridge with fried soybeans for the three of them was much simpler, but the two children were very sensible, they didn't talk too much, didn't ask any questions, and just lowered their heads to eat obediently.
After eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, Shen Guihua paused and said, "School will start in a few days. You guys should stop running to geography all the time. It's time to prepare for school."
When Niu Xiahe and Niu Chunsheng heard what Chen Guihua said, their eyes widened. Did they hear it wrong? Yesterday, Chen Guihua asked them not to go to school and that it would be more practical to farm at home. Why did she ask them to prepare things for school today?
"Mom, you just said..." Niu Xiahe asked with some confusion, "You told me and my third brother to prepare things for school?"
While eating the food in her mouth, Chen Guihua said affirmatively, "Yes, how can you get a good job if you don't go to school!"
In the previous life, Chen Guihua put all her efforts into sending Niu Tiezhu to school, but he turned out to be an ungrateful person. The two children were obviously smarter than Niu Tiezhu, but they could not go to school and could only farm at home. Their lives were not easy.
"Mom, but our family is in financial difficulty," Niu Chunsheng said, his lips curving downwards with joy. "How about I stay home and help you and Dad farm, so my second brother and fourth sister can go to school?"
Niu Chunsheng knew that he was an adopted child, and he was already very grateful that he was able to grow up alive. How could he dare to hope for him to go to school?
Unexpectedly, when Shen Guihua heard what Niu Chunsheng said, she put down her chopsticks unhappily. "Second brother is the oldest among you. If anyone wants to stay and work, he should be the one to stay. You just need to study hard for me."
Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe were touched but also a little worried when they heard that Chen Guihua was so on their side.
Niu Xiahe asked, "Mom, did something happen to you? Why do you feel a little..."
Niu Xiahe didn't say anything more, but Chen Guihua had guessed their confusion and explained with a smile, "Mom is fine, Mom is fine. Mom just thinks about it and feels that I have let you down a little. Now I just want to be nicer to you."
"Mom, you have always been very kind to us. Your daughter will always remember it in her heart."
"If it weren't for mom, I wouldn't be alive today. Mom is the best mom in the world!"
Listen, the two children who were the least favored in the past are the most grateful ones.
"If you think Mom is good, then you can work hard and get into college and bring it back to Mom. That would be the greatest reward, hehe..."
It turned out that their mother not only wanted them to go to high school, but also wanted them to go to college in the future. The two children's eyes were slightly red.
"mom……"
"mom……"
Shen Guihua stood up and said, "Mom, what mom? Come and eat. Once you're full, go prepare things for school."
The father and son outside the house had no idea what the three people in the kitchen were talking about.
After drinking the chicken soup and eating some chicken offal, Niu Tiezhu went out to play with his friends in the village.
Niu Dali found a lunch box, packed the chicken soup and sent it to the town clinic.
The distance from Qiaodong Village where Niu Dali lives to Dalin Town is not far. It only takes more than half an hour to walk there, which is quite convenient.
