Chapter 30 Raising Chickens
Chapter 30 Raising Chickens
After a long struggle between his conscience and his desires, Zhao Guoqiang mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, this egg is for Fangzi. Fangzi works in the workshop and won't have the energy if she doesn't eat something nutritious."
He thought Qi's father would be angry, but unexpectedly, Qi's father just silently served the eggs back.
They all work in the workshop, but they are willing to take food from their daughter-in-law's mouth, but are reluctant to snatch food from their daughter's mouth.
"Yes, Fangzi needs to eat nutritious food."
But Maomao also happened to see the egg. Her eyes lit up instantly and she pointed at the egg and said, "Eat this, eat this."
Qi's father loves his daughter and loves his granddaughter even more.
Maomao needs to grow up quickly. Due to lack of nutrition, she looks pale and thin, and is much thinner than other children.
Without asking Zhao Guoqiang, he directly picked out the egg yolk, blew it, and fed it to Maomao.
Maomao hadn't tasted eggs for a long time, so he swallowed the egg yolk in a few mouthfuls.
By the time Zhao Guoqiang found out, Maomao had already hugged his thighs with a smile: "Dad, I want more."
Zhao Guoqiang also loves Maomao, but without the egg yolk, how can he report to Qi Zhifang?
With a smile that was uglier than crying on his face, Zhao Guoqiang sighed: "Maomao, be good, Maomao, be good. I'll give Maomao eggs next time I have them."
Qi Zhifang was completely enraged when someone dug out the egg yolk, even though the person who dug out the egg yolk was her own daughter.
Qi Zhifang has been smart and beautiful since she was a child, and is the darling of everyone in her family.
The egg yolks in the house were only secretly saved for her by Qi's mother, and no one ever snatched them from her mouth.
She simply overturned the bowl on the table: "If she wants to eat, just give it to her! You can't spoil children like this, do you know?! I have to work hard tomorrow, and I have no nutrition in my stomach, how can I go to work!"
Zhao Guoqiang was very tolerant of this little lover. While comforting her carefully, he cleaned up the mess on the table: "Fangzi, I will make you more meat dishes in the cafeteria tomorrow so that you can nourish yourself."
At this point, Qi Zhifang's worry turned into joy: "Okay, that's what you said!"
At this time, Maomao ran into the house with her short legs. Looking at the egg whites on the ground that had not been cleaned up yet, she happily picked them up and stuffed them into her mouth: "Eggs, delicious!"
Qi Zhifang was extremely angry when she saw this scene. How could her daughter pick up things from the ground and eat them like a beggar?
The first kick she gave Maomao was on the butt: "Who told you to pick up food from the ground?"
Now, Maomao felt pain and started crying loudly.
Feeling sorry for his granddaughter, Qi's father rushed over, picked up Maomao from the ground, and looked at Qi Zhifang with a blaming look: "Fangzi, why can't you just talk it out nicely? Why do you have to hit the child?"
"Dad, how could she pick up things from the ground and eat them?" Qi Zhifang was furious and reached out to hit Maomao who was held in Qi's father's arms.
Qi's father quickly turned around and took the blow with his shoulder. He sighed in disappointment, "Life is tough at home. Maomao can't even afford an egg. Of course she's going to pick it up. If she had eggs every day, why would she care about an egg that fell on the ground?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
He and Qi's mother had this daughter that year, and based on the principle of "raise sons in poverty and daughters in wealth", they doted on Qi Zhifang in every way.
But the result was a giant baby who only had eyes for himself.
It's really sad. What's even sadder is that after all, she is their daughter whom they have spoiled for many years. Even though they know that she is not a good person, Qi's father and mother can't bear to ignore her.
In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived.
Wei Shuqing's high school class held a midterm exam, and she took first place.
In order to reward his wife, Wang Chenan specially went to the black market and bought a white Pekingese dog for her.
Looking at the white-haired puppy with wet eyes and nose, Wei Shuqing felt a pang of sadness. She held the puppy in her arms and kissed it non-stop: "It's so cute. Does it have a name?"
Wang Chenan shook his head: "Not yet, why don't you pick one for it?"
"Okay, then let's call it Baixue. It's so white, this name is very suitable." Wei Shuqing said, and found an empty snack box and Niuniu's old clothes, and made a nest for Baixue and placed it on the head of the kang.
With the puppy, Wei Shuqing remembered her plan to raise chickens.
She took advantage of the weekend to plow the land at home with Wang Chenan and Wei's father, planning to plant some vegetables in a few days.
Wei's father was an old farmer who was very skillful. He not only built a red brick path in the vegetable garden, but also cut bamboo to make a fence.
Seeing her small yard already taking shape, Wei Shuqing was extremely happy: "When the vegetables grow, they will definitely look good."
"Not only can you grow vegetables, but if you plant some morning glories next to the fence, it will look just like in the painting." Wang Chenan still has some of the persistence of a cultured person.
Wei Shuqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the black market with Sister Zhao tomorrow and buy some seeds and chicks."
Sister Zhao took Wei Shuqing with her, and the two of them took many twists and turns and finally arrived at the black market.
The gatekeeper was a burly man who asked each person for a dollar to enter.
Wei Shuqing was amazed at how much one dollar could buy several beef pies.
Seeing Wei Shuqing hesitate, Sister Zhao quickly nudged her with her elbow and said, "Don't worry, this dollar is definitely worth it!"
Only then did Wei Shuqing give the money obediently.
She had never been to the black market in her previous life, and had only gone to a small market to buy some rice and flour.
So, she was instantly shocked by the scene before her.
Selling food, by-products, handicrafts, and livestock...
There were all kinds of merchants, and although they were not shouting their wares, the scale of the business was so huge that it looked like the big markets she had seen in her later years.
It turns out that the local economy has developed so prosperously so early.
Sister Zhao smiled and said to Wei Shuqing, "Well, this dollar is worth it, isn't it?"
Wei Shuqing nodded: "Worth it."
There is everything here, and luckily she has enough money in her pocket.
After a shopping spree, Wei Shuqing bought new cloth for Niu Niu and Niu Niu to make clothes, and also bought a pair of small leather shoes for Niu Niu.
In addition to these, she also bought bacon, dried fish, sausages and other side dishes that she rarely ate, as well as two big chickens, one male and one female, a nest of chicks, and two large chicken coops.
Of course, Wei Shuqing did not forget the purpose of her visit this time. In addition to buying some spinach, cabbage, tomato, and bean seeds, she also bought the morning glory seeds that Wang Chenan had been thinking about.
After returning home with her spoils, Wei Shuqing happily shouted as she entered the door: "Mom, Dad, I'm back!"
Mother Wei was the first to come out and greet them: "Xiaoqing, why did you buy so many things?"
As she spoke, she unloaded the chicken cage from Wei Shuqing's car. Looking at the two large chickens and a brood of chicks tied up in the cage, she was overjoyed: "Wow, you bought so many chickens. Now we won't have to worry about eggs."
