Chapter 31, Buying a Chicken
Liu Ying took the tea, said thank you and sat there without saying anything.
"Oh, it's okay. It's not a big deal if it's a little cold. I'll keep them in the warehouse and let them out in a few days. They won't be frozen." Mother An has great confidence in Qianqian.
Is there anyone in the village who raises chickens as well as Qianqian?
Not only can it be raised well, but it can also be sold at a high price.
That price is several times higher than others.
When she heard that it was kept in the warehouse, Li Yulan felt relieved. "How much did you buy this time?" She asked if there was anything she could do to help.
"About three hundred, not many." Mother An now looked at the chicks and thought they were good no matter how she looked at them.
"So many." When Liu Ying heard there were about 300 of them, she was so scared that she almost fell off her chair.
An's mother helped him up and said, "Are you okay?" With concern on her face, she supported him and said with a smile, "Not many, actually." The family used to raise about a hundred of them.
"Not many." Liu Ying had never seen so many chickens in her life.
"Can these be raised to adult size?" There have been cases of chickens dying in rural areas, so she asked worriedly.
When Li Yulan heard her words, she looked unhappy: "Do you know how to speak?" This person just bought it, and you are asking whether it can grow up. Isn't this annoying?
Mother An was not angry. It was normal to have such thoughts. She had thought about it herself.
"Mother-in-law is fine, Yingzi will go and ask." Seeing that Li Yulan was angry, An's mother hurried to comfort her.
Liu Ying knew that she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.
"Well, it's nothing. It's not necessary. It's not necessary."
Mother An asked the two to calm down, and then told them what Qianqian had said to her.
What is the scientific method of raising chickens?
She doesn't understand these anyway.
But it was really good to raise them like Qianqian did, and they didn’t die very often.
Of course, it cannot be said that he has never died.
Some were crushed to death, some were pecked to death by chickens, all sorts of things.
Finally, everyone was calmed down, and Qianqian walked out of the house.
"Mom, sister-in-law, you are here." Seeing the two of them, An Qianqian called out with a smile.
"Hey, come and see you." The more Li Yulan looked at her second daughter-in-law, the more she liked her.
Liu Ying also called her sister-in-law.
But she was a little jealous of her sister-in-law, whose hair was wet and wrapped in a towel, and whose face was rosy and rosy.
No wonder my second brother likes her. She likes everyone she sees.
Liu Ying's gaze was too straightforward, and An Qianqian felt helpless, "I just took a shower, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, Mom." An Qianqian was the brother's wife, so it was not easy for her to say "sister-in-law, don't look at me."
Li Yulan was easy to talk to. She glared at Liu Ying and said, "What are you looking at? Have you ever taken a bath?"
Liu Ying knew that they had misunderstood her, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's not that my sister-in-law is too pretty, so I took a closer look. How can I be as pretty as her?"
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty.
Even if she is a housewife.
Hearing this, An Qianqian knew she had misunderstood and felt embarrassed: "I use cream on a daily basis." After saying that, she took out a box from the side.
"This is it. My sister-in-law likes it so I'll give you a bottle. I've bought quite a few bottles." She was a lazy person. If it weren't for the foundation, she would have gotten a highland rosy complexion in just one winter.
She and her mother often use this on weekdays, so I really didn't lie to her.
Of course, she and her mother had good skin because of the mist water, she was very sure of that.
After saying that, she took out a new bottle and handed it to Liu Ying: "Sister-in-law, tell me when you finish using it and I will give you another one." This thing is not expensive, only three yuan a bottle.
Liu Ying was too embarrassed to accept it. "Thank you, sister-in-law. I can't accept it." She quickly pushed the thing back.
In this regard, Li Yulan is quite optimistic about her eldest daughter-in-law. Although she is a jealous person, she is also lazy and not the kind of person who is dishonest.
She also glanced at Qianqian. She was indeed a beauty. No wonder Lao Er liked her and Yingzi was jealous. As a woman, she felt happy just looking at her.
How could An Qianqian let her push it back? She put it directly in her hand: "It's not something expensive, sister-in-law, just take it."
At this time, An's mother also began to cooperate. After saying a few words, Li Yulan nodded and said, "Take it. It's given by your brother's sister-in-law. Just remember the favor."
After chatting for a while and learning that Qianqian had her own plans, Li Yulan no longer asked any more questions, but would come over to see her from time to time.
Spring has arrived in the blink of an eye.
An Qianqian received a reply to the first letter she sent to Mao Jianwen.
Seeing him writing about his thoughts for her in the letter, An Qianqian's heart also felt sweet.
"Who said Brother Jun can't say sweet words? It's just that you're opening it in the wrong way." Seeing that the words in his letter were more explicit than what he usually said to her face, An Qianqian blushed for a rare moment.
When An's mother came in, An Qianqian hid the letter directly. It was a subconscious action.
"mom."
"Child, Jianwen wrote you a letter." As someone who has experienced this, An's mother knew that some things could only be written in letters, and she had no intention of reading her daughter's letter.
"Yeah." After saying that, she took the letter out from behind her back.
An's mother shook her head and said, "Remember to send him some food when you reply." The food in the army is not as good as at home.
He can't come back, so I can only send him some.
An Qianqian wanted to, but there was no preserved food at home now, so she had to make some.
But it will take some time.
"Yeah, I know."
Mao Jianwen not only sent her a letter, he also sent her fifty yuan, asking her to use the money to buy some delicious food, knowing that she loved to chew.
An Qianqian told her mother that he had sent her money. Mother An looked at the fifty yuan on the table and sighed.
"He's a good person, but it's a pity that you two are far apart." An's mother was not dissatisfied with his work, but now, she regretted letting her daughter marry a soldier.
You should take care of your own children.
Looking at her mother's expression changing, An Qianqian didn't know what she was thinking and thought she was missing her father.
"Mom, we will be better in the future." She couldn't satisfy her with her dad, and she couldn't create a dad for her.
"Yeah, everything will be fine."
After the spring, Uncle He listened to Qianqian and bought about 70 chicks.
Not only that, his family also raises ducks, but not many. His wife likes to use duck eggs to make some salted duck eggs, which waste salt.
But it’s perfect for eating with porridge in the morning.
Now that we have added chicken, the house has suddenly become even busier.
Of course, some people also saw what happened on Uncle He's side. After asking, they learned that he followed the advice of the girl from the An family and caught some chickens to sell.
Everyone in the village smiled and said that every household raised some, but not many. Most of them were eaten by themselves or sold for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other things.
I didn't expect to make a lot of money.
Of course, it is also a problem of ideology. I always feel that something might come out of this matter unpredictably, and not everyone can afford to endure the hardship when that happens.
Thinking of the events and people from those years, everyone trembled.
I no longer envy An Jia.
Not only did An Qianqian help her mother with farm work every day, she also had to feed the chickens and make some dried meat for Mao Jianwen to store.
It won't be possible in summer.
