Chapter 374 Snake Nest
"I'll bring my mom to see you when I get back."
Yi Chichi nodded in agreement. The next thing was easy. He just paid the balance and left.
Seeing the people coming out, Wen's mother warmly invited the two of them to have dinner. Yu Rutang smiled and refused, "Auntie, my aunt has already prepared the meal."
What this means is to go to my aunt's house for dinner.
It’s not easy to stay here any longer, after all, they are already prepared.
"Then come play again next time."
"Okay, auntie."
The two sisters smiled and agreed, then said hello to Yi Chichi, and even remembered Qin Jiu who brought back rabbit meat and chicken soup, before leaving happily.
After sending the person away, Wen's mother filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to him, "Drink it while it's hot."
Yi Chichi, "...Thank you, Mom."
We have six chickens at home, two of which laid eggs last year, and four were newly brought home this spring.
I originally wanted to get four more hens so that they could lay eggs when they grow up.
As a result, three of the four were roosters and only one was a hen.
Wen's mother was almost angry to death. If you want to eat it, you can eat it. It was too small before, so you could only raise it patiently.
Then, she finally couldn't help it and bit a little cock.
"Is the soup good?"
After taking a sip of the soup, Wen's mother's questions came up.
Yi Chichi and Qin Jiu exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and said it tasted good.
“The meat is delicious too.”
She picked up a piece of chicken and put it in the bowl, muttering, "Why is it a rooster? If it was a hen, it wouldn't have died young."
Yi Chichi didn't dare to say anything, and Qin Jiu was almost the same.
Even though he often dug up earthworms, picked up snails and the like, crushed them and fed them to the chickens, he did not dare to speak for the little rooster.
Who made it public?
For Wen Mu, who always hopes that her chickens will lay more eggs, it is a sin for a chicken that cannot lay eggs to survive.
Fortunately, Wen Mu's emotions came and went quickly.
"Are you going to pay your taxes tomorrow?"
Yi Chizhi’s answer was no. During the half-month autumn harvest, she hadn’t even touched a needle or thread, let alone work.
She doesn't plan to go out for the next period of time, and will try to complete the task before the winter is over.
As for Qin Jiu, "Do you want to go?"
Qin Jiu nodded, "I think so."
"Then go to the commune with grandma tomorrow, visit the supply and marketing cooperative library, and then have dinner at the state-owned restaurant."
Yi Chichi made all the arrangements for the two of them clearly.
Wen's mother had just scooped out a chicken wing with a spoon and put it in her bowl. "Do you want to bring anything back?"
Yi Chichi thought about it and found that he had nothing missing at the moment.
There is no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
but--
"Mom, go to the post office tomorrow to see if my salary has arrived. If it has, please pick it up."
"good."
This was not the first time Wen's mother went to withdraw money. When Yi Chizhi's September salary arrived, she went to withdraw it because she was too lazy to go. She had experience.
Therefore, the next day, Wen's mother, who followed the large army to pay the public grain, greeted the captain and others as soon as she arrived at the grain station, and then took Qin Jiu to the post office to withdraw money.
At this time, Yi Chichi took out her dining equipment and put it in place. After doing a set of manual exercises with great skill, she entered the working state.
The silk thread, as thin as a hair, danced on her fingertips, disappearing from her fingertips and appearing on the silk bit by bit.
After embroidering one thread, the split thread is also used up. If you want to continue embroidering, you need to split it again.
She checked the time and saw that it was still early for lunch, so she took the thread and started splitting it.
Before the splitting was finished, Liu Lan, Zhou Qiuyu and Ge Sujuan came together.
The first sentence he said was——
"Is there any water at the moment?"
"have."
Yi Chichi pointed to the teapot on the table and said, "Pour it yourself."
Before he could finish his words, three figures flashed before his eyes, appeared in front of the table, poured water and guzzled it.
"??? What are you doing?"
He was so thirsty, his head and face were covered with sweat and grass debris, and he looked in a miserable state.
After drinking half a glass of water, Ge Sujuan felt like she was back in the world. She sat down on the chair and took two deep breaths before she felt in the mood to answer her questions.
"I was planning to go up the mountain, but I found a snake's nest over at the meadow."
The environment on the meadow is too friendly to snakes, and there are indeed many snakes.
But the Snake's Nest...
"Are you sure it's a snake's nest?"
"Seven or eight balls of dirt tangled together, what else could it be but a snake's nest?"
After drinking the water, Liu Lan and the others nodded, indicating that she was right.
Yi Chichi said, "So you were scared and ran back?"
"yes."
Thinking of the scene of the dirt balls entangled together, the three of them shuddered and their faces turned pale.
“It’s horrible.”
It is normal to have snakes. They have seen snakes before. Snakes often appear in the grass beside the fields, in front of and behind the houses, and even on the roadside.
But those snakes act alone, and it is rare to see two at a time.
As a result, today it opened up directly and so many appeared at once.
Yi Chichi was a little curious, "They are all tangled together, how do you know there are seven or eight dirt balls?"
"I saw it."
Zhou Qiuyu, who had recovered, wiped the sweat from his face with a bitter look on his face and said rather weakly, "We didn't know there were so many at first. We thought we'd catch them and stew them at home."
Snake meat is indeed edible. Even though the snake meat is poisonous, it does not affect its deliciousness and popularity.
Yi Chichi expressed his understanding that Zhou Qiuyu and the others would have such an idea.
She hummed, "And then?"
"We leaned over to try to catch it, but startled the snake. Seven or eight of its heads lifted up and looked at us, scaring us away."
At this point, Zhou Qiuyu patted his chest in great relief, "Luckily, those dirt balls are tangled together, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape."
That was indeed lucky.
It would be terrible if they caught up and bit me.
"What are you doing up the mountain?"
Ge Sujuan, "There's a persimmon tree in the east mountain that's full of fruits. We wanted to pick some to make persimmon cakes. We met Lanlan on the way, and she asked about it and then went with us."
Yi Chichi understood immediately that Liu Lan was almost going crazy taking care of the baby at home, and she wanted to join in the fun since it was a rare opportunity to go out and have some fun.
It's not that she likes eating persimmons so much that she is greedy. Instead, it's Ge Sujuan and Zhou Qiuyu who are really greedy.
I also want to pick some in advance to stock up for everyone in the Youth League Home.
Otherwise, when the team leader organizes people to go into the mountains to pick mountain products, according to the sales and distribution policies, the persimmons they really get may only be enough for them to taste.
Alas, it’s all because of poverty and lack of supplies.
"Are you still going?"
“No, no, no…”
The three of them waved their hands in fear. It was enough to be scared once, they really couldn't bear it if it happened again.
Yi Chizhi took some seafood such as squid slices and dried shrimps to feed them.
"Just wait a little longer. When Captain Uncle and the others come back from the mountains, it's time to divide the meat."
The team raised ten pigs this year. We didn’t have that many before, and we could only raise six at most.
However, last year, African swine fever broke out in the farms, causing the death of pigs in large numbers, resulting in a pork shortage in the entire Baoan County and even the surrounding areas.
The leadership team, who did not want another pork shortage, issued an order to raise pigs in teams to ensure the source of pork.
