"Old Yuan."
Zhao Rongsheng said, "I picked it up on the road when I came back just now. It was so dirty that I couldn't recognize it."
Song Jianshe had heard of Old Yuantou, but this was his first time seeing him. He stared at the Old Yuantou in Zhao Rongsheng's hand for a few seconds, but didn't dare to take it. He looked up and asked him, "Uncle Zhao, what are you doing?"
"There's no use for me to keep it. It will only cause trouble if I keep it. You can take it. If you can sell it, then sell it. It should be worth some money." Zhao Rongsheng pushed the thing forward again and asked him to take it.
"No, Uncle Zhao, I can't take it. It's too expensive." Although Song Jianshe had not paid special attention to the price of Lao Yuantou, he had been a dealer for several years after all, so he could guess the approximate price.
"Take it. If someone finds it here, we'll be in trouble."
"If you don't take it, there's no point in us keeping it. It'll only be a nuisance. If we throw it away, that would be a shame. It's better to let you keep it."
"Take it. If you can sell it, you can also buy some meat and bones for your third brother to nourish him and help him get better faster."
Finally, Song Jianshe was persuaded and accepted it. After all, he couldn't stay in the cowshed for long, so Song Jianshe left soon.
After seeing Song Jianshe off, Shen Yibei, Zhao Rongsheng, and Jiang Qiuli also sat down to eat. Jiang Qiuli brought a small bowl over and shared the large bowl of hand-rolled noodles sent by the old Song family. The three of them had a delicious meal.
The hand-rolled noodles were particularly chewy, and Feng Guizhi's cooking skills were excellent, making a bowl of hand-rolled noodles incredibly fragrant. Since they arrived at the cowshed, it was rare for them to be able to enjoy such delicious food.
Jiang Qiuli felt from the bottom of her heart that it was a blessing for them to know someone from the Song family.
......
When Song Jianshe arrived home, he saw that there was no light in Feng Guizhi's room, so he didn't go over. After washing, he went into the east room to sleep.
It was not until the next day that Song Jianshe told Feng Guizhi about Old Yuantou.
"Mom, when I went to Uncle Zhao's place yesterday, Uncle Zhao gave me this." Song Jianshe said as he took out the silver dollar.
Feng Guizhi had lived for most of her life, so Old Yuan knew about it. He was surprised when he saw it, then frowned and said:
"Then how dare you accept it? It's such a valuable thing."
"I didn't dare to take it at first, but Uncle Zhao said that it would be useless to him.
It was a nuisance, and if they were discovered, they would be in trouble. It would be a shame to throw it away, so he said that it would be better for me to keep it and sell it if I could. I thought so, so I took it. After all, if I sold it later, I could buy something to send to them with the money.
Feng Guizhi agreed with this. After all, they were people who had been demoted, so they had to be careful.
"Then keep it. See if you can sell it next time you go to the city. If you make money, buy some more food and things for your Uncle Zhao."
"Yes, I know, mother." Song Jianshe nodded in response.
However, going to the city may have to wait. This time he plans to stay at home for a few more days before leaving. Anyway, there is no rush to sell Lao Yuantou.
After dinner, the whole family went to work and got busy.
It's already August, and the new semester isn't far off, so the little ones have started their own classes again. My family has the money for school now, so Tian'en and Yunduo will be going to first grade when school starts in September.
Song Jianshe originally suggested sending Yuanbao along, since he was a year younger, but it would be good for him to go to school earlier. But Yuanbao was unwilling to do so, saying that if he went to school, Baoya would be alone at home, and he wanted to stay with his sister Xiaobao and Tiantian.
Yuanbao's words were reasonable, but Song Jianshe knew that he just didn't want to go to school. But he didn't force him, thinking that a year later wouldn't be a big deal.
And what Yuanbao said was indeed right. If the younger ones all went to school, then only Baoya and Tiantian would be left at home. Tiantian was still young, so it wasn't a big deal, but Baoya would definitely not be used to being alone. So let it go.
Two days later, the little pheasants that the little ones had been longing for finally hatched.
It was a hot afternoon. Baoya saw that Xiaohong in the jar was not moving, so he ran out to change its water. Then he heard a very small cry coming from the chicken coop.
When Baoya heard this, she remembered the pheasant eggs in the nest and ran to take a look. She saw that the eggshell had broken and a tiny pheasant chick had come out and was chirping.
Baoya's eyes widened immediately, and it took her a while to react. She quickly ran into the house and called a few older people.
"Egg, pheasant, come out."
"What? The pheasants are out?"
When the little ones heard this, they all ran out.
Not caring about the heat outside, they all gathered in front of the chicken coop and saw the little pheasant that had just hatched.
"Black?" Yuanbao stared at the little pheasant with wide eyes.
Although he had seen big pheasants, he thought the little pheasants would be similar to the little chicks because the chicks were different from the big chickens. He didn't expect that the little pheasants were black.
"And, there's another... one."
There are two pheasant eggs in total. Now this one has come out. After a few little ones stared at it curiously for a while, they shifted their attention to the other egg that had not moved yet.
"Can this still hatch?"
"Isn't he dead?"
"Let's wait and see."
The little ones waited eagerly, but there was no movement for a long time. However, the little pheasant next to them kept calling. Yuanbao said:
"Is it hungry? Should we get it some water?"
"I saw that Nai got some water for the chick last time. Let's get some water for it too."
"good."
They fetched some water and carefully placed it in. At first, the little pheasant didn't know it needed to drink, which frightened the others so much that they almost grabbed it and put it next to the water. Fortunately, the little pheasant soon found its way over and lowered its head to drink a few sips.
"Drink it, drink it~!" Several children who were watching from the side said excitedly.
After a while, a slight cracking sound was heard, and another eggshell cracked. A piece of the shell was pushed out from the inside, and then another little pheasant struggled inside, pushed the shell open, and staggered out.
"It's out~!" A few little ones were basking in the sun and wanted to go into the house, but then they saw another little pheasant coming out. They were so excited that their faces turned red.
This little pheasant looks particularly cute. The fur on its body is black, but there is a tuft of blue hair on the top of its head.
The little ones looked at it curiously for a long time, and finally ran back into the house because they couldn't stand the scorching sun anymore.
After arriving in the house, Yuanbao wiped the sweat from his head and suddenly said, "Brother, the chicks are out, let's give them names."
The little ones had never thought about this before, but now they became interested after hearing what Yuanbao said, "Giving them names? Okay, okay, let's give them all names."
The little ones all started thinking: "What is it called?
? "
Baoya blinked her bright eyes and began to think. She thought about the three little chicks and two little pheasants, and thought about what to name them.
"Call me Dandan."
"Call Jiujiu!"
"Call......"
The children discussed the names enthusiastically, and finally decided on them. There were five chicks in total, so they were given five names: Yuanbao named them Dandan, Tianen named them Yaya, Yunduo named them Jiujiu, Wenjie named them Xiaohei, and Baoya named them Pangpang.
After the names were chosen, a few of the little ones ran out again and gave the names to the five little chicks.
They couldn't tell which of the three chicks was bigger or smaller, so they just picked them up and called them by name. The two pheasants were easier to identify. The bigger one was called Xiao Hei, and the smaller one with blue feathers on its head was called Fei Fei.
When the adults came back from work in the evening, the children hurried over to tell them that the little pheasants had hatched and the names they had given them.
Seeing how happy they were, Yang Yulan, Chen Xiuxiu and the others couldn't say anything bad. They all praised them, and the younger ones laughed so hard at the praise.
Feng Guizhi went to the chicken coop and took a look. She had thought the chicks were dead because they hadn't hatched yet, but today they had both hatched. Now there were five more chicks in the house, and when they grew up, they would lay more eggs.
Feng Guizhi was also happy. Seeing that the little ones remembered to feed the chicks water, she also praised them, "They still remember to feed them water. That's good."
"What about the milk? What will the little chicks eat?" Several little ones looked at Feng Guizhi eagerly and asked.
Feng Guizhi thought for a moment and said, "You can go to the vegetable garden and pick some old vegetable leaves. I'll chop some up and feed it to the dog later."
"Okay." The younger ones agreed immediately. Without even waiting for tomorrow, they rushed out to pick leaves.
Chen Xiuxiu opened her mouth and wanted to say, "Don't pick the wrong one," but then she thought it didn't matter, so she didn't say anything.
Before dinner, the little ones came back with a bunch of vegetable leaves.
"Grandma, is this enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. Okay, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." The family finished their meal in a lively atmosphere.
Five or six days passed, and Song Jianshe was ready to leave. He had hung a strip of cloth on a tree branch near the cowshed. Shen Yibei saw it and took the matsutake mushrooms with him the day before he left. However, this time he only found two.
Song Jianshe didn't think it was too little. For him, even one was too many.
Song Jianshe left early the next morning. He carefully put away Old Yuantou and the matsutake mushrooms, and went out with his bag before dawn.
Li Qingyan did not sleep after seeing him off. When she finished washing up, it was already dawn. She took Song Bowen's textbook and recited it silently.
The sun slowly came out, and everyone in the brigade started to get up and cook. Smoke drifted out of the chimneys of every household, filling the entire brigade with the smell of fireworks.
The Song family lived a peaceful life, but something that caused a lot of discussion happened in the brigade these two days.
The author has something to say: Yuanbao: Call it Egg, I hope it lays more eggs in the future!
Baoya: Call it Feifei. I hope it grows fat and has lots of meat!
Yuanbao/Baoya: ...xiliu
