"Duo'er, come and eat more." Madam Yunqi looked at Yun Duo with a loving expression, and as she spoke, she put a large piece of wild egg into Yun Duo's bowl.
It's been over half a month since I took Duo'er out to live alone. Because of this, Duo'er has been 'lucky' during this half month. Every now and then, she can always find something to bring back, either a pheasant or a rabbit, or at the very least, a few wild eggs or some mushrooms. With the nutrition she's getting, I can see Duo'er's face slowly becoming rosy and full of color. I feel both gratified and heartbroken.
If she had done this sooner, her daughter Duo'er wouldn't have been tormented like that by her heartless parents...
Although his face has regained some color, he is still skin and bones, with hardly any flesh on his body.
An eight-year-old girl, not even as old as a six-year-old child, what a tragedy!
Thinking about it, Yun Qi couldn't help but put another egg on Yun Duo's plate.
"Mmm." After swallowing the food in her mouth, Yun Duo also picked up her chopsticks and put a wild egg on each of Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi's plates, and said with a smile, "Grandpa and Grandma, you can eat too."
As they were talking, seeing that Yun Qishi and Yun Dazheng were about to put the eggs into their bowls, Yun Duo quickly reached out to protect her bowl and said, "Grandpa/Grandma, there are still many eggs in my bowl. You should eat some too. Otherwise, if you give them all to me, I won't feel happy even if I eat them. If I'm not happy, all the good food will be wasted."
"Okay, okay." Yun Dazheng nodded repeatedly, looking at Yun Qishi and saying, "Old woman, eat up, it's a filial gesture from the child." As he spoke, he ate the egg that Yun Duo had put in his bowl, looking satisfied.
It's not just because the eggs are delicious; more importantly, it's because it shows the granddaughter's filial piety.
After finishing the eggs, Yun Dazheng thought for a moment and then said, "Old woman, our yard is all tidied up and the vegetable garden has been turned over. We can only plant our own crops after the eldest brother and the others have finished harvesting the grain. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so why don't we catch a few chicks and goslings to raise? Once they're grown up, we can eat eggs every day."
“Okay.” Yun Qi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, “It’s market day in town today. Take the pheasant that Duo’er picked up yesterday and the two clumps of mushrooms that grew behind the yard and sell them. After you sell them, see if there are any chicks, ducklings, or goslings for sale at the market. If there are, catch a few.”
The Yun family's old house is at the foot of the slope, with a shady slope behind it. Xiao Jiu drove two colonies of termites that can cultivate termite mushrooms over. For the past few days, Yun Duo has been spraying it with water every day, and Xiao Jiu has also ordered the termites to cultivate it with all their might. In just a few days, two clusters of termite mushrooms grew in the backyard, which they picked and ate. Yesterday, when they went to check, more had grown, but they were too small, so they left them.
The mushroom Yun Qi was referring to were those two kinds of termite mushrooms.
"Sell the pheasant too?" Yun Dazheng was a little unhappy. He glanced at Yun Duo and said, "We can just sell mushrooms. There's a clump of them behind the yard. Just water them every day and they'll grow on their own. Let's forget about the pheasant. Duo'er is so thin. We can keep it to kill her and help her get better later."
Yun Qishi always did whatever Yun Dazheng said. Seeing that Yun Dazheng was unwilling to sell the pheasant, she didn't insist. She just said, "Alright. But although mushrooms are delicious, they are vegetarian and light, so I'm afraid they won't fetch a good price... I'll give you two yuan. If you can catch a few more goslings, they have big eggs and goslings can grow by eating grass."
