Chapter 218 Sun Chunhua Returns to Visit Relatives

The chickens we raised at home have grown up now. We have netted out a special area in the yard for the chickens to play around in, and we don’t have to worry about the yard being covered in chicken droppings.

The six hens we raised can now lay eggs, six eggs a day. Beibei gets up early every morning and runs to the chicken coop to collect the eggs.

Of the eggs collected, three were kept for home consumption and the remaining three were handed over to the commune. The commune accountant would record the number and convert it into work points when the accounts were settled at the end of the year.

Xia Juanjuan thought about it and discussed with Lin Yuru about applying to adopt another ewe from the commune.

This is not for the purpose of earning work points.

The main reason is that Xiaowen and Xiaowu are almost starting to grow, so she wanted them to drink a glass of milk every day to supplement calcium, which is good for the body and promotes development.

There is space for it, but it is difficult to take it out.

If you raise a ewe, even if the milk you squeeze out is not enough, you can take it out from the space to make up for it, which is much more convenient.

Xia Juanjuan went to the commune to report to Secretary Zhao, so that when the work points were calculated at the end of the year, she could be given only half. However, the goat milk she received every day would belong to her family.

Secretary Zhao discussed it with the villagers and agreed to Xia Juanjuan's proposal. The next day, he took a lamb from the lamb raised in the commune and gave it back to Xia Juanjuan.

However, it takes eight to ten months from raising a lamb to breeding, and another four to five months to be pregnant and give birth to a lamb. So if you raise a lamb now, you won’t be able to drink goat milk until next year.

Xia Juanjuan almost backed out. Just to drink goat milk, she had to raise the animal for more than a year?

But I didn't return it later, mainly because the kids at home, both big and small, liked this 'new member' very much.

The lamb's wool is white, and it bleats when it purrs, which is so cute that it's almost unfair.

Okay, let’s take it slow, just treat it as a pet.

When it comes to cutting grass for the sheep or going out to herd the sheep, it is either Xiaowen and Xiaowu who go to school or Beibei who goes.

Of course, what the three guys cut was definitely not enough, so Xia Juanjuan had to take a basket and go out to "cut" the grass herself. In fact, she took the best grass directly from the space and mixed it with the cut grass, so it was not difficult to raise it.

Xia Juanjuan lived a carefree life in the countryside. Over at the Fu family, Sun Chunhua saw that it had been a month or two since Xia Juanjuan returned home, so she asked Fu Weixin for half a month's leave, saying that she wanted to go back to her hometown to visit.

When Sun Chunhua found Beijing, she was told that she had no relatives left at home.

So, this time I just said that I’m old and want to go back and see my old neighbors.

Fu Weixin didn't think much about it and let her go back.

When Sun Chunhua returned to her hometown, she went straight to a house with a yellow adobe brick house. The hostess of the house was covered in dirt and didn't recognize Sun Chunhua at first.

When Sun Chunhua gave her name, the woman was stunned: "Sister Chunhua? How come you don't look older at all these years?"

The woman in front of him was Sun Chunhua’s husband’s younger sister, named Li Erni, who was three or four years younger than Sun Chunhua!

But now, when the two of them stand together, anyone who sees them will think that Sun Chunhua is five years younger!

This is not surprising. After all, Sun Chunhua's husband died just after she got married. Her mother-in-law said that she was a jinx and that her tough life caused the death of her husband.

Sun Chunhua packed her bags and went to live with her elder sister Sun Caihua, who had married far away. Unexpectedly, her elder sister also died in childbirth. However, she heard from the villagers that her niece was adopted by a wealthy woman in Beijing, so she decided to go to Beijing to try.

Even if people are unwilling to take her in, since they have adopted her niece, it is fine for her to ask for some nutritional expenses.

Unexpectedly, the Fu family was kind enough to keep her.

Sun Chunhua was not interested in caring about her sister-in-law's old age. She entered the house and took out a bag of flour weighing one pound from her bundle and put it on the table. She said, "I am also a mother in Beijing and my life is hard. You can keep this flour and make dumplings with it."

Li Erni was naturally very happy and became more attentive to Sun Chunhua.

Sun Chunhua had no intention of building a friendship, so she asked directly, "Let me ask you, that child I asked you to secretly take away that year... didn't you later say that he was dead? Is that information accurate?"

Li Erni was startled at first, then her face turned pale. She forced a smile and asked, "Sister Chunhua, why are you suddenly asking about something that happened so long ago? Is it..."

The truth is revealed?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Erni suddenly became anxious: "Sister Chunhua, didn't you tell me that this matter would not be dangerous? Why are you still bringing it up after so many years? Don't scare me!"

Seeing her panic, Sun Chunhua became even more annoyed and said, "Why are you panicking? There's nothing wrong. I just saw someone who looked like her recently, and I felt uneasy, so I asked again..."

Li Erni was still very frightened, and stammered, "My husband handled this matter. He said he did as you said and threw the child on the barren mountain... There's no way a newborn baby is still alive, right?"

After hearing this, Sun Chunhua also felt that it was unlikely, but she still asked in detail about where the child was abandoned.

I heard from Li Erni that the place where the animals were thrown was on a barren mountain ten kilometers ahead. There was a wolf den on the mountain, and some adults in the village were even killed by wolves.

After hearing this, Sun Chunhua also felt that if it was in the mountains, nothing would go wrong.

From the looks of it, Xia Juanjuan just looks like Shao Wenhui, she shouldn't be Shao Wenhui's daughter.

Sun Chunhua's anxious heart was finally relieved, and she didn't talk much with Li Erni and was about to go back.

Seeing this, Li Erni suddenly grabbed her.
