Chapter 351 Fubao Picks Up Eggs
The next day, Wan Laosi went to the town early in the morning, and Wan Shuang was left behind.
A few days later, Wan Laoer went to the field to check on the potatoes and saw that the leaves had turned yellow, so it was time to harvest them.
The number of people in the village who are reclaiming wasteland this year has increased several times compared to previous years, and everyone is working very hard.
In the past, even if people reclaimed wasteland and planted crops, it was a waste of seeds. Many families' harvests were not even as much as the seeds they planted, which was equivalent to making a profit at a loss. So later on, no one was willing to reclaim wasteland and just cultivated their own one and a half acres of land. After all, when the crops were filling up, they had to run more than ten miles to fetch water for irrigation, which was too difficult for farmers.
But things have been different in the past two years. The feng shui of the border seems to have changed. It rains lightly every few days, and heavily every ten days or half a month.
People no longer have to worry about fetching water to irrigate the fields, and have more time to reclaim wasteland.
Almost every household in Shizi Village planted potatoes, and Wan Laoer provided seeds to everyone.
I don’t know if it was Wan Laoer’s illusion, but he felt that this year’s potatoes seemed to be bigger than last year’s.
Wan Laoer took a stroll in the fields and when he was about to go home at noon, he pulled up a potato and brought it back, wanting everyone to taste the freshly harvested potato.
Wan Ersao learned how to fry French fries, which is little Fubao’s favorite.
"Mother, I just went to the fields and saw that the potatoes are ready to be harvested. The leaves have all turned yellow. This year may be much busier than last year. We need to hire someone to harvest them in advance. I plan to let Er Gouzi do the job of finding someone. What do you think?" Wow
Wan Laoer squatted by the well, peeled the fresh potatoes, washed them again, and said to Wan Er's wife who was picking eggs in the chicken coop.
Wan Ersao was holding a basket in her hand, and Guihua and Xiao Fubao were both helping to pick up eggs.
"Okay, you decide for yourself. I don't know much about this either. Just go ahead and do whatever you think is okay. I believe you."
Wan Er's wife smiled and glanced at Wan Laoer. Wan Laoer felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey. His life now was so fulfilling and happy that it really felt like a dream.
"Mom, I want to eat French fries for lunch." Little Fubao turned around and saw her father holding two big oval potatoes in his hands. Her eyes were shining. She missed the taste so much that her saliva was about to flow out when she looked at the raw potatoes.
"Okay, Mom will make it for you. As long as you have enough, potatoes are the most in demand in our family."
Wan Ersao wanted to pinch her daughter's little face, but when she saw that her hands were dirty, she quickly put them down.
"I'm also craving the French fries made by my second sister-in-law." Liu also came out of the house, with the little Wan Yu running in front of her.
"Okay, I'll make some extra for lunch today, and you can eat as much as you want."
Wan Ersao walked out of the chicken coop proudly and washed her hands with the well water drawn by Wan Laoer.
"Fubao, Guihua, if you two want to continue picking up eggs, just pick up the rest. If you feel tired, come out and take a rest. You can pick up eggs again in the afternoon."
Wan Ersao looked at the two figures in the chicken coop and gave them a warning.
"Mom, Fubao is not tired. Fubao likes picking up eggs the most. I want to pick them all before eating."
"Aunt, I'm not tired either. We'll finish picking it up soon."
Wan Ersao smiled and ignored them.
Last year, because there were a lot of potato scraps, Wan Ersao caught more than 80 chickens. She let them all out during the day and they came back on their own at night. She put some dead trees in the chicken coop, and the chickens all spontaneously flew to the dead branches and squatted to sleep, which saved a lot of space.
Perhaps because of the lucky star, Xiao Fubao, none of the chickens raised by the Wan family have died since they were small.
Next to the chicken coop is the rabbit hutch. A batch was sold before the New Year, and now the rabbit hutch is full again, and it’s time to sell the second batch.
All of these were taken care of by Guihua. She was busy every day like a hardworking little bee, never having a moment's rest. Unless Xiao Fubao called her out to play, she would be willing to put down her work. Both Wan Ersao and Old Lady Wan told her not to hate her work so much, but she wouldn't listen and continued to do her own thing.
Wan Ersao went to the kitchen to busy herself, and Wan Laoer came into the room to talk to Wan Laotai.
Wan Shuang came out to help Liu take care of Wan Yu. The little girl can walk now, and she can't sit still. If you are not careful, she will run to the gate. Just like her sister Xiao Fubao, she is a worry.
Little Fubao was crawling into the chicken coop at this time. She saw a nest of eggs in the coop. Usually, Wan Ersao would use a broom to pull the eggs out of the chicken coop and then pick them up, but little Fubao didn't know how to use the broom.
Guihua turned around and was about to show Xiao Fubao that she had picked up a super big egg, but she only saw a pair of small feet sticking out of the chicken coop.
"Fubao, what are you doing?"
Guihua was so scared that she ran over quickly. The floor of the chicken coop was covered with hay, but it was covered with chicken manure.
Xiao Fubao carefully avoided the chicken droppings, but she couldn't avoid touching some of them. However, seeing the eggs right in front of her, she didn't want to give up.
Little Fubao gritted her teeth, endured the nausea and continued to crawl in. When she was about to reach it, a happy smile appeared on her face and she reached out to grab the egg.
But Guihua pulled her legs hard from behind, and little Fubao couldn't hold on any longer. She fell flat on the meadow, her body covered with chicken manure.
“Ah… wow…”
Little Fubao's loud cries came from the chicken coop.
Guihua became even more panicked and quickly pulled Xiao Fubao out of the chicken coop. She saw that Xiao Fubao was covered in chicken manure, with a few weeds on his head, and he was holding an egg in his hand, and he was just pulled out by her.
Wan Yu was tiptoeing through the bamboo door of the chicken coop to look inside. When he heard his sister crying, he was startled and his little face became anxious. Like a headless fly, he was trying to get in by scratching at the door. His chubby white hands grabbed the gaps in the bamboo and shook it vigorously, shouting, "Sister - sister -"
Wan Shuang quickly opened the door of the chicken coop and picked up little Fubao.
"Sister, what's wrong with you... you smell so bad..." Wan Shuang's caring words suddenly changed. It was not that he disliked little Fubao, but he had never seen his sister so dirty. In his memory, his sister always wore clean and beautiful clothes wherever she went, and her second aunt always dressed her up like a New Year picture doll. It was the first time he saw Fubao like this.
Although Fubao is young and has the energy of a man, she is very vain. When she heard her second brother say that she smelled bad, she immediately refused to accept it.
"Wow wow... Fubao can't be kept anymore, Fubao has become smelly, Fubao is not good-looking anymore, wow wow..."
