Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 178 Raising Chickens

Li Wu saw An Yue from a distance, so he hurried forward to help An Yue put the things in the car: "Yueyue, you are so small, why do you buy so many things!"

An Yue said as she got on the ox cart: "These are all the things we need at home."

"Oh, you bought some chicks?" Li Wu asked, looking at the bamboo cage in An Yue's hand.

An Yue smiled and replied, "Yes! Now that the weather is getting warmer, chicks are easier to raise. I'm thinking of buying a few to take home."

A woman from the same village who was sitting on the ox cart said, "This is good. When the chicks grow up, they can lay eggs and sell them for money."

An Yue smiled and nodded at the woman: "Yes, we can eat eggs every year. When the chicks grow up and lay eggs, there will be no shortage of eggs at home."

"Niannian is still young, and it's time for him to grow! It would be good for him to eat more eggs." Li Wu said as he drove the ox cart away.

Along the way, several people kept chatting about family matters.

Before we knew it, the ox cart had arrived at the east end of the village.

After An Yue got off the ox cart, she handed the silver to Li Wu and said, "Uncle Li, Yueyue has to carry her things to the town early tomorrow morning, so I'm sorry to bother you to wait here."

"Okay, okay, let's do it at the end of the Mao hour tomorrow!"

After thanking Li Wu, An Yue walked back home with the basket on her back.

On the way home, she thought to herself that the chicks were too small to keep them in the chicken coop, so she had to find a way to build a nest for them that was both safe and comfortable.

Half a quarter of an hour later, An Yue finally arrived home.

As soon as she entered the yard, An Yue gently placed the backpack under the eaves and quickly released the chicks from the bamboo cage, letting them run around in the yard for a while.

Looking at them cheering after coming out of the bamboo cage, An Yue couldn't help but laugh.

She walked into the main hall, drank a bowl of water, put the things in the basket in order, and then began to build a nest for the chicks.

She thought that the chicks were too young and without a hen to protect them, some monsters or mice would definitely come to visit them at night.

So she thought of hanging the bamboo cage, which was relatively safer.

Then, I started to do it.

First, spread dry grass in the bamboo cage to provide the chicks with a warm and soft habitat.

Then tie the bamboo cage with a rope and tie the other end of the rope to the beam of the chicken coop.

After hanging up the cage, she also has to prepare some chicken feed.

As An Yue walked out of the chicken coop, she found a few chicks looking for bugs to eat in the yard. An Yue couldn't help but say, "You really don't shy away from strangers! It seems you won't starve."

Suddenly my stomach started to growl and I realized it was already past noon.

An Yue thought that the chicks were too small and had just left the protection of the hen, so she couldn't be careless. So she caught them and put them in the kitchen, keeping them under her nose to feel at ease.

An Yue was making lunch in the kitchen, and the chicks were looking for food everywhere. With them as company, her life seemed to become much more interesting.

After a while, lunch was ready.

After lunch, An Yue went to the yard to turn over the dried bamboo shoots that had been drying in the morning, and then returned to her room to take a short rest.

——Half an hour passed.

An Yue woke up from her nap, walked to the yard, scooped half a basin of water, washed her face to wake herself up.

She was going to carry a basket to the back mountain to pick toon buds. She had made an appointment with Shopkeeper Wang today to deliver sauerkraut and toon buds to the restaurant early tomorrow morning.

An Yue picked up the backpack and walked towards the back mountain.

I enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way, and woke up from a nap feeling full of energy and in a particularly good mood.

After arriving at the back mountain, An Yue found the toon tree forest.

She put down the backpack and picked the fresh toon shoots and put them into the basket.

After about an hour, An Yue had picked a full basket of toon buds and carried the basket to go home.

As I was walking down the mountain, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside my yard.

An Yue walked quickly.

After a while, they arrived at the wasteland outside the yard and saw their grandmother Zhou and their aunt from afar.

An Yue walked towards them quickly, and when she got closer, she saw that her aunt was holding a bundle. Grandmother Zhou was gesticulating towards the blue brick house in the yard, and she was very excited.

An Yue came behind them and asked in a very cold tone: "What's the matter?"

Grandmother Zhou turned around and saw that it was Anyue. She walked up to Anyue with joy and said, "Where has Yueyue been?"

"..."An Yue ignored her.

Seeing that An Yue didn't say anything, Zhou said flatteringly, "I heard that you have built a blue brick and tile house here. Your aunt and I brought some food to visit you and take a look at you."

After saying that, Zhou turned around and snatched the bundle from her aunt Zhang's hand, then turned to An Yue and handed the bundle to her with a flattering smile.

An Yue didn't answer it. Instead, she walked to the gate of the yard with an expressionless face and put down the backpack on her back.

Zhou followed closely and walked up to An Yue, saying flatteringly: "This is a little gift from us, Yue Yue please accept it!"

"If everything is alright, please go back!" An Yue said indifferently.

Suddenly, another person came over from not far away and shouted, "Wow, why is it so lively here?"

An Yue turned around and saw that it was Qin.

An Yue smiled and hurried towards Qin: "Aunt, come here!"

Qin said softly to An Yue, "Yueyue, don't be afraid! Your aunt is here."

After Qin finished speaking, she took An Yue's hand and walked towards them.

Qin walked up to Zhou and teased, "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten the direction to your home?"

Zhou lowered her head slightly and said guiltily, "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence!"

Qin smiled faintly and said, "I went to the east room to look for you just now, but I didn't see you. I didn't expect you to come to Yueyue's place."

Aunt Zhang asked weakly, "Aunt, what do you want to see me for?"

Qin folded her arms in front of her, walked up to Zhou and Zhang, and said slowly, "You and your family have lived in my house for so many days, I'm afraid it's time to move out, right?"

"..." Zhou and Zhang frowned and didn't dare to respond.

Qin looked at the bundle in Zhou's hand and said with a fake smile, "Wow! What good stuff did sister-in-law get for Yueyue?"

Zhou replied with a fake smile: "It's just a little food."

Qin stretched out her hand with great interest, ready to see what was in the bundle.

Zhou held the bundle tightly with both hands, but she managed to say, "Of course I should."

Qin faked a smile and pulled hard, opening it to see that it contained several sorghum cakes.

So he said, "You elders are really thoughtful." After that, he handed it to An Yue and said, "Yueyue, since your grandmother and aunt are so kind to give it to you, just accept it."
