After crossing most of the village, they arrived at a house that was relatively close to the river.
Chishan Brigade is a village built on the banks of a river. The river is large enough to support the entire village.
This river separated the village's houses and farmland. Of course, the section of the river flowing through the village had many stones, from small pebbles to large ones, some even taller than Chen Suwen.
Ah Liang's house is on the riverbank, but not too close to the river. If it were too close, the river would swell and flood the house during typhoons or heavy rainstorms.
Because A Liang's house is not too far from the river, his ducks can often go swimming in the river or catch small fish, shrimp, and crabs to eat.
Therefore, it is only natural that ducks grow up plump and strong.
"Ah Liang's mom? Are you home?"
Wang Xiufen brought Chen Suwen to A Liang's house and stood outside the courtyard gate calling out.
Ah Liang's house consists of several tiled rooms, with the lower half of the walls made of stone and cement, which makes them more waterproof.
The upper half of the wall was made of cement bricks with large holes and yellow mud, and the wall itself was also plastered with yellow mud.
A few rooms have tiled roofs, but the rest are mostly thatched roofs.
"Sister-in-law Xiufen, what brings you here?"
Hearing Wang Sufeng's voice from inside the house, Ah Liang's mother hurried out, wondering why she had come to find her.
"Is there something you need to talk to me about? Or is there some problem with my family or my partner that I need to discuss?"
Wang Xiufen was the matchmaker for A Liang's family's future partner. A Liang's mother thought she came because the woman's side had some new requirements.
"It's not because of that that I didn't come; it's because this Comrade Chen Suwen from the city wants to trade you for a duck."
"I remember you still have a big duck at home, don't you? Weren't you worried about not having enough cloth coupons to buy red cloth for your family?"
"Comrade Chen Suwen has cloth coupons, would you like to exchange them with her?"
Ah Liang's mother's eyes lit up, and she warmly welcomed the two of them inside.
“I do have a big duck at home, and without being modest, I’m definitely the best duck farmer in our brigade.”
"My duck weighs at least eight pounds. It will taste delicious no matter how I cook it after I take it home and prepare it."
