Hmph, ignorant. Part-time work is utterly ignorant.
As Zhao Xiaocao was looking around, she suddenly looked up and saw two carriages speeding along a path at the foot of the distant mountain.
Children always have exceptionally good eyesight. Zhao Xiaocao exclaimed in surprise, "Chief, it looks like Brother Dahai and Second Aunt are back over there."
Zhao Tingzhang looked in that direction, but his eyesight was poor, and he couldn't even see a blurry figure.
"Little Grass, are you sure?" Zhao Tingzhang asked suspiciously.
Zhao Xiaocao nodded firmly, put away her sickle, and started to run down the mountain.
"Hurry up, I need to go see my second aunt."
Zhao Tingzhang then followed them down the mountain, muttering, "Last time I heard Shitou say that Wanzi's mother was planning to buy chicks. She's back today, could it be that she's already bought the chicks?"
The thought of the fluffy little chicks filled Zhao Tingzhang with immense joy.
When he and Zhao Xiaocao arrived at the village entrance, He Tiantian and the others had already been there for a while.
Sun Qi pulled He Shitou to the backyard to find his beloved horse. When he saw that his tall, chestnut horse was safe and sound, with a smooth coat and even looked rather plump, he was very pleased.
Young Master Sun nodded with satisfaction. It seemed his horse was being well taken care of here.
Wait... is it a bit chubby?
Young Master Sun looked around his horse, feeling that something was off.
He Shitou noticed that Sun Qi, who had just seemed satisfied, was now looking for something. Curious, he asked, "Brother Sun, is something wrong?"
He treated this horse like a treasure. After all, he couldn't bear the responsibility if anything happened to such an expensive horse.
Sun Qi looked at it from left to right and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Well, that's fine then. In any case, he was quite pleased to see that the horse seemed to be in good spirits, and especially since it recognized him and was affectionate towards him.
Sun Qi patted the horse's chubby belly and said, "Look at you, so useless. I gave you the best feed at home, but you didn't get fat. It hasn't been long and you've gotten this fat."
After all, she's a mare, so she can't stand anyone saying she's fat, not even her owner.
The horse immediately protested by stamping its hooves, twisting its nose a few times, and spitting snot all over Sun Qi and He Shitou.
The two jumped out of the stable almost screaming.
He Shitou waved his hand, "Alright, alright, I'm leaving tomorrow. Say goodbye to your old friend properly tonight."
When Zhao Tingzhang came to their house, they chatted briefly before taking two cartloads of chicks to the chicken farm at the foot of the mountain.
Such a grand and joyous occasion naturally attracted a large crowd.
The villagers used to be so poor that they couldn't afford to raise chickens. If any family had one, they would treasure it like a precious gem, and would want to hold it in their arms even when they slept.
They were terrified that a weasel would snatch them away during the night.
This time, I not only saw chickens, but a thousand chickens. I can't even imagine what it was like.
Sister-in-law Wang from the village had already signed up to work at the chicken farm, so she was the most eager to come and help.
We need to take all the chicks out of the cage and keep them indoors for the time being.
Zhao Xiaocao was not strong enough to carry them in pairs.
Although the chicks were cute, they smelled terrible. Zhao Xiaocao, being a child, showed no disgust whatsoever.
Starting today, she'll be working at the chicken farm. At least that will ensure she can support herself each month.
Ten people were recruited in total, and when they learned that the chicks had been bought, they all came to help and show off their skills.
He was afraid that Zhao Tingzhang would complain that he had been lazy and lost his job.
Those who didn't get such a good job naturally felt envious.
In their eyes, this was practically a free lunch. It's a shame they didn't hire more people.
Zhao Tingzhang was instructing them on how to raise the chicks when he was suddenly interrupted by Cheng, who had rushed up to him with great enthusiasm.
"Oh my, these chicks are so cute! How much does one cost? It must be quite a lot of money."
Although Mr. Cheng's question was impolite, it was exactly what the onlookers wanted to hear.
Zhao Tingzhang didn't intend to hide anything, after all, it wasn't exactly a secret.
Since Maruko-chan was able to buy so many at once, it means that these items are sold in the city.
Zhao Tingzhang coughed and said, "There are a total of one thousand chicks. Everyone working here must be extremely careful to take good care of these chickens."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tieniu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, village chief, I'll be here keeping watch all night."
With so many chickens, he was afraid they would be stolen.
"Go away, what are you going to do with your sister-in-law if you stay here!" Zhao Daniu said, pulling his second brother aside in dissatisfaction.
