Chapter 31
"Son, my mother is going to sell the eggs and bring you a new dress when she comes back. Don't run around at home."
Early in the morning, Zhang Xiaohong patiently reminded.
"Don't worry, mom."
"Well, that mother is gone." Zhang Xiaohong smiled. She was relieved to her son's work.
As soon as Zhang Xiaohong left, Wang Chong walked into the house.
Under the shelf in the corner, there is a small basket covered with a piece of cotton cloth, which is used for keeping warm.
He lifted the cotton cloth and there were ten eggs lying underneath.
Over the past year, under Wang Chong's careful care, the previous twelve chickens have turned into more than twenty chickens, all of which are hatched.
Look, there are many more chickens that should break out.
"Brother Xiaoyu."
At this time, Guo Yueluo, who was only five years old, walked in with a angrily voice.
"The moon sets, why are you here?"
"Grandpa is going to catch fish. I want to see you catch fish. You can accompany me."
"I don't have time today, I have to look at the chicken." Wang Chong glanced at the girl.
This girl is pretty pretty at a young age, with a ponytail and looks very cute.
"What's so good about chickens?"
Wang Chong pointed to the egg in the quilt and said, "You will watch it later, and the chicken will come out of this egg later."
"You are lying to me, this is an egg, how could the chicken come out from here?" Guo Yueluo frowned and obviously didn't believe it.
"Then you'll see later."
Guo Yueluo nodded, "I don't want to wait, let's play as a husband lady, I'll cook for you."
This girl really did whatever she thought of. After saying that, she took the stone on the ground and said to herself: "I'll make you a piece of rice ball, cook dumplings, and then come over and have a meal for you."
Wang Chong was a little happy when he watched it. The child was just naive and could play with a few stones for half a day.
While playing, Guo Yueluo suddenly cried with a 'wow' sound.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Chong was stunned, then smelled a smell of urine. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the girl had actually pissed her pants.
"Woooo, it's so cold, so cold, I'm going to change my pants."
Guo Yueluo cried heartbrokenly. Who made her a girl? She was usually taken by her grandmother and loved to be clean.
Wang Chong slapped his head and had a headache. Although Guo Yueluo grew very fast, the problem of peeing his pants has not changed yet.
He hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll call your grandma over."
After saying that, he ran out: "Auntie Sun, Auntie Sun."
I ran to Aunt Sun's house and saw that there was no one. I guess I had put Guo Yueluo in his house and went to the field by myself.
This is the case in the countryside. When the elders go out to work, children are raised freely when they are very young and let them play casually. Not to mention it in ancient times, that is, Wang Chong is actually an adult, so he disdains to play.
When he returned home helplessly, Guo Yueluo was still crying loudly. He could only frown and said, "I'll change your pants, just wear mine."
After untiing his pants for Guo Yueluo, taking his butt-wiping cloth for her, Wang Chong put on her pants.
After putting on it, Guo Yueluo said excitedly: "Brother Xiaoyu, I will marry you in the future, so I won't have to learn to wear pants."
"This is not possible. Everyone has to learn clothes, do you know?"
"Oh, but my mother said, only my husband can see girls, then are you my husband?"
This kid knows a lot.
"We are still young now, let's talk about it later."
Wang Chong shook his head helplessly. At this time, a chirping sound came from the nest of eggs. Wang Chong was delighted and lifted the quilt. He saw that more than a dozen eggs had broken their shells. Several chicks raised their heads and chirped and asked for food.
"Oh, there are really little chickens."
Guo Yueluo squatted on the ground, happily touching the yellow chicks.
Then Wang Chong took out the chicks, and the chicks were stumbled. Several old hens walked around under their instinctive motherhood, protecting the chicks and starting to teach them how to find food.
Next, Wang Chong walked to the foot of the mountain not far away. Because they had no land, he and his mother were cleaning up the weeds at the foot of the mountain recently and preparing to reclaim a piece of land and farm.
After working together, they have reclaimed less than one acre of land, and Wang Chong is preparing to reclaim more.
When he was working, Guo Yueluo was holding the dogtail grass and following her like a follower. Wang Chong was helpless about this, so he let her play with her, and it was not easy for him to drive her away.
Spring is coming to the east.
It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
Now Wang Chong's family has two acres of fertile land and more than 40 chickens. Apart from a small amount, there is basically no shortage of food at home. The originally poor and innocent family is gradually becoming rich.
It was the Chinese New Year. On that day, Zhang Xiaohong killed two old hens and gave one to Aunt Sun's house. The other one stewed by himself. After cooking two bowls of braised fish, vegetables and grass-head soup, he invited Aunt Sun's family to come for a reunion dinner.
While having dinner, Guo Yueluo was so excited that she kept picking up food for Wang Chong. This scene made Aunt Sun and Ma Wu laugh.
"Yuelu, do you like Brother Xiaoyu? Will you let you marry him when you grow up?"
Aunt Sun likes Wang Chong very much, so naturally he doesn't mind saying that.
After all, Guo Yueluo was young and didn't know how to be shy at this age. He immediately clapped his hands: "Oh, okay, I like Brother Xiaoyu. He is so awesome. He knows everything."
Uncle Ma Wu nodded happily and said nothing. He saw farther than Aunt Sun. Although he also liked Wang Chong very much, the matter between men and women was focused on being a match for each other.
Guo Yueluo's parents are both big merchants who raise pigs and sell pork. The guys alone hired more than a dozen and had big houses in the county. Although Wang Xiaoyu was excellent, the situation at home was still too bad. Even if they agreed, Guo Yueluo's parents might not be happy.
Wang Chong lived older than the people here, so he naturally saw what was in Uncle Ma Wu's eyes and sighed in his heart, saying that he was still too poor.
But it's okay. After the Chinese New Year, he is six years old, and only half a year left to Zhang Lao Bull to report to the official as soon as the Chinese New Year is over, and he will go to collect the two hundred taels of silver.
One month after the New Year, Zhang Xiaohong asked the Huang Carpenter in the village to make a trolley, spending a full five taels of silver.
Then there were eggs and eight fat roosters on it, and they rushed to the county town with Wang Chong.
As for the family, she asked Aunt Sun to take care of her.
When he arrived at the county town, Zhang Xiaohong found an empty spot in the market and started selling it.
"Mom, I want to go and have fun." After staying for a while, Wang Chong said with a chicken leg in his hand.
Thinking that Wang Chong is usually very sensible, Zhang Xiaohong reminded: "You can't run far, do you know?"
"I know, mom."
Wang Chong ran out and passed by Zhuo Fu's mansion. He saw the maid Yalan standing at the door, being scolded by Zhang Laoben... Thank you Mr. Peng for giving 1,000 yuan. I was shocked. Thank you for giving the dragon and the tiger. I am very grateful to you for adding more updates. But the editor said that the new book period can only be updated for two updates, but everyone is relieved. I will remember the reward. When the new book period is over, I will add crazy updates.
