Chapter 24 Desire
Mrs. Wu was surprised when she heard this. Why, this chicken is not enough to entertain you? Want to buy another duck? This and my sister-in-law are too real. We separate and live on our own. This is not how we live!

When we meet again, she has to have a good talk with her, living at home is not possible!
But people were busy making food, so she didn't say much on this point.

"That lame duck Mi Tai, if you want it, just give me twenty cents!"

A fat duck costs only thirty-five cents. If it weren't for the fact that the duck weighs four or five kilograms and is quite fat, it wouldn't even cost twenty cents.

"That's good! Aunt Qingtang, keep the money and I'll go find Pang Niti to duck it myself!" Shiliu took the bunch of money given by her eldest brother, counted thirty, and the rest were on the line. They were given to Wu together.

Wu took it with both hands and didn't count immediately. She just said, "Hey! OK! Fat Ni is right there with you!"

After Pomegranate picked up the rooster and trotted away with Li Rongzhang, she went back to the house to count the copper coins. She didn't see Jin. There were seventy copper coins. She counted them carefully, and she knew it in her heart.

Pomegranate first brought the chicken back to Mrs. Song, who had boiled water and was waiting to kill the chicken, and then hurriedly ran to the depression in front of her homestead.

I found Pang Ni sitting and playing on a grassy slope and told her about buying a duck.

When Pang Ni heard this, she turned her elbows outward and said, "Pomegranate, why did you buy this lame duck? I have so many good ducks to buy ducks!"

Pomegranate chuckled, "This lame duck has the same amount of meat, it's just a lame leg, and it's cheaper! Fat Ni, help me catch it! My family is still busy making food. I'll have some free time when I get back." Now, I’ll mess with you again!”

When Pang Ni heard what she said, she also knew that her family had been very busy recently, so she nodded, rolled up her sleeves, and rushed to her flock of ducks.

The ducks were very familiar with her, the little master who drove them out every day and then brought them home. They were not afraid at all when they saw her rushing toward them. They only pushed aside symbolically, and they didn't scatter in fear.

Pang Ni effortlessly caught the black duck, which was unique among a group of gray ducks, and raised it towards the pomegranate, "Pomegranate! Caught!"

Pomegranate smiled and took it, "Well done, Pang Ni!"

Pang Ni was so happy that she grinned and showed her teeth. Only half of the tooth next to her upper front teeth was missing.

She broke it when she was chasing ducks. She had already replaced the tooth, and the half-missed tooth would not grow back. The little girl was very sad about this, and was also laughed at by other children in the village. , so she shut her mouth when meeting people and refused to show her teeth. Only in front of Pomegranate did she have no scruples.

Seeing her missing tooth, Pomegranate couldn't help but think of what she said when she comforted her before. These days, teeth can also be filled. Gold and silver teeth always cost money. She said that she would help her earn money to fill her teeth in the future!

Well, we have to separate the family, step by step, we have to do it!
Pomegranate grabbed the lame old duck and returned to her homestead in a hurry. Mrs. Song, who was taking Li Xiangli to pluck the big rooster, saw her grabbing a duck and running back, and couldn't help but glared, "Pomegranate, Where did this duck come from?”

Where did your daughter steal it? Yes, there are a lot of ducks in the depression ahead, all from the village.

We don’t want to be thieves by burying our children!
Mrs. Song suddenly became worried, eagerly waiting for Pomegranate's answer, fearing that she would say a stolen word. But my daughter said it was not stolen, but bought - what! bought?
"Pomegranate, we've already bought chickens, why are you buying another duck? Do you want to feed the ducks? Our new house hasn't been built yet, so we have no space to feed the ducks. Let's buy a few more ducks to feed next year. OK?"

Mrs. Song is a person who loves her children. She feeds chickens and ducks. If her daughter wants to feed ducks and drive them to play, she can feed two less chickens.

Pomegranate said: "It's not for feeding, but it's for killing today to eat! This is a lame duck, it's cheap, Aunt Qingtang sold it to me for twenty cents!"

What? Not hello? Want to kill and eat?

Although it was only twenty coins, Mrs. Song was a little upset when she heard that she was a prodigal child. She had to make both chickens and ducks for this meal. How many rich families did she have?
"I think this duck is very energetic. I've bought everything, so let's keep it first!" Mrs. Song looked at the duck for a moment and thought about it. After buying everything, how can she scold the child?
Pomegranate didn't say anything and didn't answer. She turned around and went into the hay shed to get a bowl with water and salt. Then she took the kitchen knife that Song had used to kill the chicken earlier. She caught the duck's neck and sent the duck back to the west. sky.

Mrs. Song, who was plucking the chicken feathers, never thought that this child would dare to do it herself. When she heard the duck flapping, she looked up and saw her swift movements. She was so frightened that she wanted to stop but was afraid of hurting her.

"Hey, you kid! What are you doing! Where have you ever killed chickens and ducks? Be careful and cut your hands!"

Pomegranate dripped every drop of the duck's blood into the bowl until no more blood could drip out from the blood hole. Then she tucked the duck's head and neck into the wings, then threw the duck to the edge of the basin, raised her head, and rushed to Song Dynasty. Shi chuckled and said, "Mom, there are too many people. We can't even eat a chicken!"

Mrs. Song, who was still frightened, saw that her daughter's hand was not injured. She wanted to open her mouth and say something to her, but after hearing these words, she pouted and didn't say much. She just said to her: "Don't do this next time." , we have divided our families and live on our own. How can we provide food, rice, oil and salt without money? We have to be more frugal, you know?"

Now that we have all been killed, what else can we do? Hurry up and pluck your hair!

Pomegranate nodded like garlic and watched Mrs. Song go in to fetch boiling water. She turned her head and looked into the smiling eyes of her eldest sister Li Xiangli, and couldn't help but smile at her.

Li Xiangli shook her head, stretched out her head and nodded her forehead, "You girl, you are just nagging at me. We don't have much money at home."

Pomegranate lowered her head and pretended to admit her mistake, but she said in her heart: There will be a lot of money soon.

I earned a pot of gold today, so let’s celebrate it by eating chicken and duck!
In life, the most important thing is to make yourself happy!

Pomegranate wants to eat chicken and duck, and her intestines turn green just thinking about it, really!

I think back then, she had to eat chicken and duck every week. Who always only eats pork!

At this point, she couldn't eat pork more than once, but she finally made some money. Wouldn't she want to make people happy if she didn't let her satisfy her own appetite?
Only when you have desire can you have motivation!
Pomegranate rolled up her sleeves and vigorously ravaged the duck that she had sent home with her own hands.

This old duck's hair is really not that easy to pluck! Fortunately she was patient.

Mrs. Song didn't care about plucking the duck's feathers slowly. After the chicken was ready, she hurriedly took it in and chopped it into pieces to prepare for the pot. It was getting late, and she still had to stew for a long time. !
