"Yes, grandma, let's eat it tonight, shall we?" Yuanbao said, smacking his lips. "I wonder if pheasant eggs taste the same as chicken eggs."
Feng Guizhi frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Let's not eat for now."
"Why, milk?"
"So pheasant eggs can't be eaten?" The little ones were a little confused when they heard it.
Feng Guizhi took the pheasant egg in her hand and looked at it for a few more seconds before saying, "This pheasant egg might be alive."
"Live pheasant eggs?"
"What does this mean, grandma?"
Feng Guizhi explained to them: "The meaning of a live pheasant egg is that this pheasant egg may hatch a pheasant."
Several of them widened their eyes in surprise: "Wow!"
"A live pheasant?"
"Granny, then we won't eat anymore. Let's wait for the little pheasants to hatch, shall we?!"
"I also want to see what the little pheasant looks like." The little ones became curious.
However, in order to hatch the chicks, a warm environment is needed. But it just so happens that the two hens at home have been hatching chicks these days. If I put this pheasant egg in, maybe the two hens will think it is their own egg and hatch it.
I don’t know if the egg is still alive, but it won’t hurt to give it a try.
"Okay, let's put these eggs in the chicken coop and see if we can hatch little pheasants after a while." Feng Guizhi agreed, and then found an opportunity to put both pheasant eggs in.
The little ones began to get excited, waiting for the little pheasants and chicks to come out.
After saying that, Feng Guizhi went back to preparing dinner. Today she processed the crabs and prepared to eat them all.
Last time she had stir-fried it, but this time she had changed the way she cooked it. There were happy events at home: the fourth son, Song Jianshe, had made money, and the third son, Song Jianye, had won an award. Life had improved, so they deserved to eat something good.
After cleaning the crabs, she cracked open their shells, removed the inedible gills and heart, then cut them into four small pieces, removed the meatless crab legs, and coated the exposed crab meat with starch. Once everything was done, she poured oil into the pan, waited for the oil to heat, and put the crab pieces in to fry.
Since you only need to fry the meat part, it doesn’t actually consume a lot of oil.
When the crab pieces are fried and set, put the crab shells and crab legs that you just removed into the pan and fry them together.
until the color turns red.
After serving, pour in the green onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the crabs, add seasonings, stir-fry and it is ready to be served.
Afterwards, Feng Guizhi fried two side dishes, and today's dinner was ready.
After the dishes were served, the little ones began to drool as they looked at the red crab shell and the bright yellow crab meat that looked particularly delicious.
They thought that yesterday's braised pork was the most delicious thing, but the crab made by Feng Guizhi today was particularly delicious.
Although the stir-fried crabs were delicious and the crab meat was very tender, the crab meat after removing the shells and coating it with starch and frying it tasted even more fragrant.
Baoya and the other kids felt so happy while eating. Being able to eat so many delicious foods every day was the happiest thing for them.
They couldn't come up with many adjectives, they just thought it was "delicious, so delicious!"
After eating a piece, Yuanbao couldn't help but think in his heart, wondering whether today's crab was more delicious, or the braised pork that he just said he liked the most yesterday.
But he thought about it for a long time and still couldn't make a judgment. When he came to his senses, he found that the crabs on the plate were almost gone. He quickly put the idea behind him and continued eating.
"Mom is so generous now. The crabs are cooked so perfectly." It was also the first time for Song Jianshe to eat crabs in this way. The delicious taste made him unable to help but praise it.
The crab meat is so tender and fresh. It is fried in oil without having to peel the shell or remove the gills. You can get a full mouthful of crab meat in one bite. It is so refreshing to eat.
The whole family enjoyed the meal very well, not only in their stomachs but also in their hearts. In addition, there was a happy event at home, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
After eating and drinking enough, go to sleep. I believe everyone will have a sweet dream tonight.
......
In a house in the county town.
"Uncle, what's going on? Didn't you tell me to go and collect the reward? Why did you find everyone here now?" a man said anxiously.
If Baoya were there, she would recognize that this person looked exactly like the one in her dream.
The person sitting on the chair also frowned, looking depressed. "We had planned everything, but we didn't expect the leader of the Song Jianye Production Brigade to find out about this. He was in the middle of a meeting when he said the information matched and took the reward away."
The man said unwillingly: "What should we do now?
Don’t we have any chance?”
The man sitting there didn't say anything. He frowned and thought deeply. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "It's not that there is no solution."
......
Song Yuangang, who was far away in the Hongqi Production Brigade, didn't know what was happening in the county town. He was planning when to invite the captain of the neighboring Yuejin Production Brigade to dinner.
Two days ago, he attended a meeting at the county level, where he focused on the consequences of the recent rainstorms. Many brigades had suffered property damage and casualties, though most were minor. Only one production brigade had an elderly person killed or injured due to the strong winds and heavy rain.
During the meeting, the county leaders criticized some of the teams that suffered heavy losses. However, the Hongqi Production Brigade was praised because it organized the river digging in advance, which prevented crop losses and no casualties. It was the team least affected by the disaster and was praised by the leaders.
Also praised was the Yuejin Production Brigade next door, which suffered no other serious impacts except for a small amount of crops being drowned.
After the meeting in the morning, Song Yuangang went to the government canteen to have lunch with Gao Zhifu, the captain of the Yuejin Production Brigade next door.
While eating, Gao Zhifu thought of the captains who were criticized at the meeting and couldn't help but sigh, "They were lucky. Otherwise, they would have been severely criticized, not to mention being praised."
"What's wrong?" Song Yuan asked after taking a bite of food.
Gao Zhifu recounted what had happened previously: "Weren't there three people in our team who were sent down? A few days ago, during a heavy rainstorm, the cowshed suddenly collapsed! Luckily, someone happened to see it and pulled the people inside out, so there were no casualties."
Especially when Gao Zhifu thought about the fact that Jiang Qiuli was not young anymore, if she was really hit, the consequences would be serious.
Although they were demoted people, they had special identities after all. If they died in his brigade, his responsibility would definitely not be small.
Song Yungang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Yes, this is really a blessing."
Gao Zhifu thought about it and said, "The people in the cowshed said they were rescued by someone they didn't know. That means they couldn't be from our production team. Could it be someone from your team?"
Song Yuangang didn't know about this and couldn't say
Okay, but the two brigades are close to each other, so this is indeed possible.
The two of them didn't dwell on this point and lowered their heads to continue eating. They had rushed here this morning and had a quick breakfast. After the ride and the meeting, they were quite hungry.
When they were almost done eating, Gao Zhifu leaned back in his chair and waited for Song Yuangang, who hadn't finished yet. He glanced around and faintly heard the people at the next table talking about "good people and good deeds." He suddenly remembered something, leaned forward, and said to Song Yuangang:
"By the way, have you heard about the guy in our county who won the 'Good Person and Good Deeds' award? It seems they're trying to find out who it is. However, I glanced at the bulletin board and saw that the guy's name was Song or something, and he has the same last name as you. Could he be from your team?"
Song Yuangang looked up at him in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by 'good people and good deeds'? Are you saying that person's last name is also Song?"
Gao Zhifu thought for a moment, "It seemed to be about a man who jumped out of a car to save someone and ended up getting injured. It was his leg or something, and it seemed pretty serious. I didn't look closely at the time, but I remember his name was Song or something."
As soon as Song Yuan heard about the leg injury, he immediately thought of Song Jianye. The surname was Song, and the leg was injured. Furthermore, after thinking about it, he couldn't seem to figure out how Song Jianye's leg was injured.
His heart skipped a beat, and he wondered if it was really Song Jianye?
But he couldn't be sure, so he didn't rush to say it. After dinner, while there was still time, he asked Gao Zhifu to take him to the bulletin board to look, and sure enough, he saw the name written on it was Song Jianye.
After the meeting in the afternoon, he hurried to find the county leaders, told them about the matter, and asked for the specific details.
The county had been looking for someone for a long time, and they were very happy to have found him. After all, it was a good thing that someone in their county had received such an honor.
I'll report it to the higher authorities then, and maybe even win an award from the city.
Therefore, the county immediately announced that it would send two cadres to the Hongqi Production Brigade the next day to report and commend them, and to confirm some details so that they could write a report later.
As soon as Song Yuan came back from the county, he went directly to Old Song's house.
So Song Yuangang felt that if Gao Zhifu hadn't told him about this, he really wouldn't have known about it, so he thought of inviting Gao Zhifu to dinner to express his gratitude.
After all, although their production team is not
There is no actual reward, but it has given the leader such a good impression, which will definitely add some points when it comes to the evaluation at the end of the year.
Song Yuan thought for a while, and after confirming the time, he turned over and went to sleep.
Baoya, who was sleeping in the west room, had fallen asleep at this moment. However, some fragments of scenes appeared in her dream, which were about Song Yuangang going to the county town for a meeting, but the scenes were different from what Song Yuangang had experienced.
In the dream, Jiang Qiuli was seriously injured when a cowshed collapsed and hit someone. Because she didn't get timely medical attention, she eventually died. When Zhao Rongsheng returned and discovered this, he was deeply affected both mentally and physically.
Because of their special status, the county leaders were furious and harshly scolded Gao Zhifu. Gao Zhifu, still feeling resentful, skipped lunch and didn't mention the "good deeds" to Song Yuangang. Song Yuangang was also unaware of the incident, and thus didn't know about Song Jianye's broken leg while saving someone.
Then came the content of Baoya's previous dream. Someone impersonated Song Jianye and took away the honor and reward, which caused everything to change...
Another person who had the same dream was Feng Guizhi.
Before going to bed, Feng Guizhi always felt a sense of unease in her heart, and she felt a little anxious. When she finally fell asleep, she had the same dream as Baoya.
She witnessed the cowshed collapse, crushing Jiang Qiuli underneath. She also saw Gao Zhifu being scolded, and saw someone impersonating Song Jianye claiming a reward. But the scenes in her dream were unclear; she could only make out faint sounds and shapes.
After waking up, she was filled with fear. If Baoya hadn't reminded her, and she hadn't saved Jiang Qiuli, then the rest of the story would have been the same as in her dream.
Not only was Song Jianye's reward taken away by someone else, but more importantly, Jiang Qiuli would lose her life.
Feng Guizhi's mind was in a state of chaos. Although she knew that dreams were just dreams and not real, after all, nothing in the dream had happened, she still felt that the dream was the real thing. Only with Baoya could the casualties in the cowshed be prevented and the subsequent developments be changed.
Feng Guizhi's heart was beating fast, she was filled with both relief and fear. Fortunately, fortunately, nothing in the dream happened.
The next day, Feng Guizhi was still a little confused when she thought about the dream she had last night. It took her a while to come back to her senses. Then she went into the kitchen and took out two eggs.
Prepare a bowl of egg custard for Tiantian and Baoya respectively.
After all, Baoya had done the Song family a big favor this time. She couldn't give her anything else, so she could only give her more food and drink.
However, Feng Guizhi decided to keep this matter in mind and not tell anyone else. After all, this matter was too mysterious, and revealing it would only harm Baoya. As long as she knew it, it was enough.
......
When Baoya woke up, she had completely forgotten everything in her dream. Her dream had contained so much content, and she was still so young. When she woke up in the morning, she only remembered that there were many unfamiliar people in her dream, but she couldn't recall the specific content.
Baoya knocked his little head, frowned and thought about it many times but still couldn't remember.
"Little Bao sister...sister, aren't you going to...get up and water the watermelons?" Tian'en asked Baoya, who usually got up early to water the watermelons.
Baoya got up quickly when she heard this. She vaguely knew that the dream she had last night was not very important, so she did not think about it any further.
Baoya carefully watered the watermelons, and also helped several of her brothers who had forgotten to water their own plants to water their own plants, and then returned to the house with a smile.
After running around outside at night, the little ones all ran to the front of the chicken coop, stuck their little butts out, and looked at the hens waiting to sit on the coop.
"Brother, when do you think the chicks will come out?" Yuanbao asked.
"The egg is so small, can the chick fit in it? Are chicks so small when they are just born?" Wenjie also asked curiously.
Song Bowen was also unsure: "It should be possible." Then he added: "If grandma said it's possible, it must be possible."
The little ones also nodded and said, "Yes, as long as grandma says it's okay, it's OK."
Baoya thought about the eggs she usually ate and the pheasant eggs given by Shen Yibei. She felt that the eggs were so small that they could actually fit chicks. She was very curious and looked forward to the time when the chicks and pheasants would hatch.
After a while, Yuanbao remembered his corn and ran out with Baoya.
The corn seedlings in the private plot behind have already grown a little. Yuanbao counts on his fingers every day to calculate when they can be eaten, and then he often pulls Baoya over to show them.
Looking at a field of green corn seedlings, they are treated so carefully.
On the way, Yuanbao asked Baoya: "Little sister, when the corn is cooked, how do you want to eat it? It tastes good when it's mixed with porridge, or it tastes good when it's cooked in a pot.
Yes, corn pancakes made with milk are delicious too!"
As Yuanbao spoke, his eyes lit up.
Yuanbao had never tasted the Baoya that he was talking about, but just hearing about it made it sound delicious. Baoya blinked and began to look forward to it.
Song Jianshe had been staying at home for quite some time this time, thinking that he would be able to go to the city in two days. He thought it would be easier to spot him during the day, so he decided to go there after dark.
He first tied two small red strips of cloth at the place he and Shen Yibei had agreed on, and then remembered that he had not taken back the bowl that was delivered last time.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to go. Xiaobei was a thoughtful kid and would definitely bring him over in a couple of days.
The next day, Shen Yibei woke up and saw the cloth strips outside. He knew that Song Jianshe would leave the day after tomorrow. After helping with the work during the day, he continued to search upstairs.
However, he was still thinking about what happened yesterday, so when it was getting dark, he hurried down the mountain and went to find the children of Old Song's family.
After greeting a few of the younger ones, Shen Yibei called Song Bowen aside.
"What happened to that woman yesterday? What's her relationship with Xiao Baoer?" Shen Yibei asked with a frown.
When Song Bowen heard him mention Chen Fengxia, he couldn't help but frown. Since this matter was not a secret, he thought about it and told it.
"Sister Xiaobao is not actually our biological sister, but now she is our biological sister. When we first met Sister Xiaobao, she was sleeping in the haystack in our house..."
Because Feng Guizhi had told them not to tell anyone that Baoya earned one work point a day at their house, Song Bowen did not mention this. He simply said that Baoya was staying at their house.
"Then one day, that bad woman came and dragged Xiaobao away... She said she was Xiaobao's biological mother and wanted to take Xiaobao away..."
"...She had sold Little Treasure to someone else for five yuan, but Grandma couldn't bear it, so she spent ten yuan to buy Little Treasure back..."
Song Bowen felt a little uncomfortable when he talked about this, thinking about how his sister Xiaobao had a bad mother and felt particularly pitiful.
After listening to Song Bowen's words, Shen Yibei frowned even more. After all, he was also in the Yuejin Production Brigade. Although he didn't interact with others much, he could still hear a little about what happened in the brigade. Especially when Chen Fengxia sold Baoya.
Xu Laiying came to the team to make trouble again, so I knew something about it.
However, he didn't know that the person who was sold was actually Baoya.
Thinking that Baoya had such a bad mother and had sold her twice, he couldn't help but clench his hands at his side, and his face became even colder.
He turned his head to look at Baoya who was smiling sweetly over there, and felt a little distressed.
That night, the Liu family's pen of chickens somehow escaped, and one even flew out into the yard. Chen Fengxia and Liu Youcang had already gone to bed when they heard the chickens fluttering loudly outside. They looked outside and discovered that the door had somehow been loosened, allowing the chickens inside to escape.
The two of them worked frantically for a long time before finally catching all the fleeing chickens. Chen Fengxia wiped the dirt from her forehead, bent over and panted, and finally found that one was missing after counting.
She was startled, "Hurry, there's one missing, look for it quickly."
The two searched the house but couldn't find it. Later, they heard a noise outside and rushed out to look for it. They were busy until midnight.
Chen Fengxia was exhausted. She had worked all day and couldn't sleep well at night. She couldn't help cursing and got angry.
"If you keep running around, I'll kill and eat you tomorrow!"
There’s no point in keeping it anyway, it won’t lay eggs!
.......
The next night, Shen Yibei and Zhao Rongsheng went to Old Song's house again. On the one hand, they checked Song Jianye's leg again, and on the other hand, they went to deliver something.
In addition to the bowl, there were also some mugwort and herbs that Zhao Rongsheng had found these days to treat Song Jianye's leg injury. Shen Yibei picked some fresh matsutake mushrooms and sent them over.
Today, we were watching the scene directly in the west room. Baoya and Tianen were already asleep on their beds. However, perhaps because she sensed someone coming, Baoya woke up drowsily, rubbed her eyes with her little hands, and sat up.
Zhao Rongsheng looked over and stared at Baoya for a few seconds in surprise.
