Chapter 12 Sudden Extra Eggs
He suppressed tears, smiled and said to the woman: "Second aunt said so, I really have something to trouble you. Tomorrow I will exchange the prey for money, and plan to make some clothes for the children..."

Before he finished speaking, Granny Xu said first: "No problem, just wait, I'll go back and get a ruler now to measure the girls' sizes."

After the people walked away, Xu Jianing stepped forward and hugged her father, and comforted her in a low voice, "Father is fine, you still have us."

Mother Xu couldn't help crying beside her.She felt uncomfortable, and always felt that if it wasn't for her, Father Xu would not have made such a mess with Da Fang.

The father and daughter quickly comforted her again.

Suddenly, Father Xu remembered, what about the things, how could the things in the kitchen disappear out of thin air?

He rushed into the kitchen and searched carefully, but found that there was nothing there.

He came out a little depressed, and shook his head at them, "Things are indeed gone!"

Xu Jiayin immediately rushed to the small firewood shed next to her, and after messing around for a while, she came out carrying her things with a proud face.

Xu Jianing was overjoyed. Aren't those just what they were looking for?
She suddenly remembered a detail. After hearing that her grandma was coming, her eldest sister threw a chicken leg into her bowl and rushed out for a while.

It turned out that it was at that time that her elder sister moved her hands and feet.It seems that this is not the first time her grandma has done something like this.

She stepped forward and gave her big sister a thumbs up, "Sister, you are awesome! Our family will get better and better in the future. I hope you can untie your knot and chat with me more. I like to listen to Sister's voice."

Xu Jiayin blushed. Although she didn't speak, she touched Xu Jianing's head lovingly. She smiled. The smile was from the heart.

For such a result, Xu Jianing is quite happy.

She hurriedly helped to send them to the kitchen.

Xu's father, who was standing aside, smiled sadly, "The children have grown up, and they are all good children."

Remembering that he hadn't had time to deal with the things he brought back from the mountain, Father Xu hurried to work after sending Mother Xu back to the room.

Unexpectedly, the two sisters of the Xu family picked up the baskets from the kitchen, planning to go and carry back the chestnuts that they had knocked out before and hadn't had time to bring back.

Seeing this, Xu's father left the work in hand and planned to follow along.

At this moment, Granny Xu, who had gone back to get things before, came over with a young woman, "Oh, this man is too old to be useful. I'm afraid I won't be able to remember the size, so let my wife go with me."

After a few pleasantries, they quickly measured all the sizes.

Thinking that winter is coming soon, at Xu Jianing's strong request, they also took down the measurements of Xu's father and Xu's mother, and they also had to make some thicker clothes.

After sending off Granny Xu and the others, the father and daughter hurried to the mountain to get all the remaining chestnuts back.

Looking at the pile of chestnuts, Xu Jianing was secretly happy, this is all money!

It is impossible to deal with them all.

Under Xu Jianing's command, Xu's father and Xu's elder sister took out some and began to step on them with their feet, and the other parts that could not be handled were put in the sun to dry.

Several people worked together and managed to produce two large pots of fresh chestnuts before sunset.

Xu Jianing took a small part out of it, washed it with clean water, put it in a pot and cooked it, and carefully opened each chestnut with scissors.

Take another bowl from the kitchen, pour a small amount of honey, add water, pour the cooked chestnuts into the pot, add honey water and stir-fry to ensure that every chestnut is wrapped in honey water until the honey juice is dry Only after that is it served in the pot.

There is no way, their family has limited conditions, no oil and no sugar, and now they can only use the simplest method to achieve the desired effect.

After it was out of the pot, let it sit for a while, Xu Jianing couldn't wait to pick one up and peel it off.

She stuffed it into the mouth of her elder sister Xu Jiayin like offering a treasure.

"Sister, is it delicious? Is it sweet?"

Xu Jiayin chewed quickly a few times, then nodded sharply.Like Xu Jianing before, he gave her a thumbs up.

Xu Jianing was amused by her appearance, and couldn't help but praise, "Sister, you are so cute, I like you more and more. Before we leave tomorrow morning, let's get some more and sell them in the town."

"By the way, dad, is the town far from us? Don't get cold after you go, it will affect the taste."

Seeing how harmoniously the two sisters got along, Father Xu's mood improved greatly.

He said cheerfully: "It's not far, it's usually only half an hour for me to walk there. I'll tell you, Uncle Jingde, that I will take his car to the town tomorrow. I guess it will take about a quarter of an hour." Able to."

Hearing what he said, Xu Jianing felt relieved.

She beckoned them to serve as snacks first, and then discussed with his father, using the leftover cornmeal to bake a few pancakes to eat.

In the end, the family ate pancakes and drank chicken soup, and everyone had long-lost smiles on their faces.

Xu Jianing complained in her heart, it was really like the lyrics she heard in her previous life, happiness can be very simple.

In this era, there are no mobile phones to scan, and there are no entertainment items. In order to save lamp oil, everyone goes to bed early.

However, Xu Jianing couldn't fall asleep anyway.

She wants to make money, and there are too many things she wants to buy.The first thing is to change this so-called bed.

It is said that it is a bed, but it is actually two pieces of wood put together, some straw is placed on the bed, and a mattress has become hard because of sleeping for a long time. Not to mention not warm, it is also uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, she fell asleep.

Until Xu's father knocked on the door easily outside, and reminded in a low voice, "Ning'er, get up soon, we have to go out early."

Xu Jianing suddenly came to her senses. She put on her clothes in a panic, and said as she put them on, "Father, I'll be out soon. Oops, chestnut, chestnut isn't ready yet."

She speeded up, quickly rushed out of the room, and went straight to the kitchen.

I found that their eldest sister was seriously scratching the chestnut that was still smoking.

Hearing the movement, her elder sister raised her head, and after seeing her, she smiled at her.

Pointing to the things in the pot, she continued with her hands.

Xu Jianing lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. There was a bowl of cornmeal hot inside, and there was a hard-boiled egg beside it.

She looked at her eldest sister in a complicated mood, and asked aloud, "Sister, have you all eaten? Where did you get the eggs?"

She knows the situation of their family.Not to mention eggs, there are not many chicken feathers.So, where did the sudden extra eggs come from?
