“Listen to me, everyone. The reason I made this little cart in five days is because we had the materials at home. Otherwise, it would take at least ten days to half a month to make it. Besides, I also have to take care of two grandsons. I can only make four a month at most, no more than that.”
There were only four in a month, which disappointed many people. In fact, some of them had considered buying the stroller after hearing how many people liked it.
It's just woven from bamboo, and it costs eight yuan a piece. If they could make it themselves, wouldn't they be able to earn that money on their own?
Bamboo is free, so why give money away to others?
Some people were envious, but when they heard that Yang Yufen would only accept a maximum of four, they immediately felt better.
Yang Yufen only accepted a few children who were over four months old, and collected a deposit of three yuan, one per week.
“If you don’t want it anymore, just say so in advance and I’ll refund your deposit. But if I start making it, then I won’t refund it. Cutting bamboo is hard work, and it will also keep me from taking care of my child.”
When Yang Yufen said this, everyone agreed.
Yang Yufen managed to get everyone out before the child was woken up.
In the midst of daily hustle and bustle, the chicks hatched. Out of thirty eggs, three were selected, and in the end, only twenty-one hatched, with six failing to hatch successfully.
Aunt Liu came to see what was so interesting, and then took away the six that hadn't hatched.
"This is a good thing, but some people can accept it and some people can't."
When Yao Yao saw the fluffy chicks, she immediately abandoned the family's mother hen. Unfortunately, the start of school was just around the corner.
With the success of the first attempt, Yang Yufen prepared to incubate the second batch of eggs. This time, she selected fifty eggs.
"Isn't this enough for you to feed them?"
Aunt Liu was shocked.
"We might not be able to raise them all. If we raise more, they'll be ready to eat when Niannian comes back. It won't take up much food anyway."
Yang Yufen kept the house tidy and cleaned it up diligently, so there was no unpleasant smell in the backyard.
“Then sell me two hens, my daughter-in-law is pregnant.”
Aunt Liu then spoke up.
Yang Yufen gave Aunt Liu a disapproving look, but still picked out two of the best hens.
"It has to be you. No one else can take the hen that's laying eggs from me."
“Aren’t we best friends? Don’t even mention it. If Professor Wen and Sister Wang ask you for help, I don’t believe you wouldn’t be willing to give it up. You’re just being stubborn but soft-hearted.”
Some things really shouldn't be said, because once you say them, they come true.
The next day, Professor Wen arrived, bringing with him some good news.
"A large number of sweet potato seedlings have been planted and have all survived. The higher-ups are very happy about this. Also, your brigade leader sent you a letter, which I brought with me."
Hearing the contents of the letter, Yang Yufen knew that her fellow villagers were all safe and sound, and her heart was at ease. Although they had lost money, as long as the people were still alive, everything would be alright.
"Qin Nian's sister-in-law is pregnant. I know you have eggs here, but she's not in good health. I'd like to trade you for two hens. She has two children at home."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yufen first congratulated him, then packed a basket of eggs and tied up two laying hens for Professor Wen to take away.
Seeing that there were two extra cans of milk powder, Yang Yufen carefully put them away.
The twins are getting bigger and bigger, and they're not drinking enough formula anymore. But in another month, as the doctor said, they can start eating other foods.
Just as the things were put away, Aunt Wang arrived.
"I have good news for you, Xiao Fang is pregnant. And you still have that old hen, don't you?"
