Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 14 Rare Chicken Soup

The second day was still early, the blue and white morning light filtered through the window, leaving only some shadows in the room, Gu Yu heard the door creak.She knew that father and uncle were going to the back mountain, which was discussed last night, and they also made two rice balls for dry food, and they would probably not be able to come back until very late.

She relaxed and fell asleep again.

She didn't wake up again until Xiao Man began to rustle in her clothes.Struggling to get up and put on the jacket.

Xiao Man feels sorry for Gu Yu, "You can't even keep your eyes open, so sleep for a while."

Gu Yu shook her head, "Aunt Jiang said that the chick will hatch in two days, and I'm going to take the chick back to raise." The eggs sent by the second aunt are not good, so ask her to incubate there. Jiang was entrusted with day care.

The two sisters already have a good understanding. Gu Yu took the initiative to undertake most of the housework, freeing up time for Xiaoman to sell embroidery, and Wang also embroiders occasionally, but her stomach is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to this time, she is running around and being angry. Just keep it.

As for the heavy work of carrying water, Li Dequan was doing it, and Jing Zhe often helped out after school, and Chen Jiangsheng came here from time to time, so Gu Yu didn't need to worry.

As usual, Gu Yu did the things like cutting radishes and washing vegetables first, and shouted, "Sister, you can cook now!"

Eating this clear soup with little water every day, there is not even an egg, Gu Yu is a little worried about her mother's health, but she can't help it, "Sister, what should I do if I eat this every day, I heard people say that you have to eat good food when you have a baby."

Xiao Man could only smile wryly, "Gu Yu, good boy, I will buy eggs for our mother when my embroidery is sold for money. We are not afraid of eating these on weekdays. It's just that you don't want to pick things up. You didn't eat them before. This clear water radish."

Gu Yu rolled her small eyes and smiled: "He used to be sick and talkative, but now he can eat anything."

It's almost noon, Gu Yu and the others are about to start dinner, when they see Jing Zhe carrying some things in one hand and a chicken in the other, and come back with a smile.When he got close, he handed it to Gu Yu and said, "Gu Yu, let's drink chicken soup today so that mother can replenish her body."

Gu Yu was very happy, but also somewhat puzzled: "Brother, where did you get the money to buy these?"

Jing Zhe smiled, and whispered to Gu Yu: "Brother went to write for others to earn money, you must not tell our father." , even if Jing Zhe had some money on her, it wouldn't be surprising, so she didn't ask any more questions.Instead, he became embarrassed: "Brother, how do you kill this chicken?"

Jing Zhe was dumbfounded now, Xiao Man stood beside him and said, "Why don't you call Er Bo or Uncle Yong Yu? It's just that Er Uncle and Dad have gone into the mountains, and I don't know if Uncle Yong Yu is free."

When he was in a difficult situation, An Jinxuan swung back and couldn't help being a little amused: "Three big living people can't even handle a chicken, it's really funny."

After getting along for a long time, they all know that An Jinxuan is the hard-spoken and soft-hearted person, and Jing Zhe lives with him, so they are more cordial, so they said at this time: "Jinxuan, can you kill chickens?"

The corner of An Jinxuan's mouth twitched, "Knife, bowl, you, go boil water."

Hearing his order, Jing Zhe came out with a knife and a bowl, Gu Yu obediently went to light the fire, and Xiao Man took advantage of the gap to put away the brown sugar eggs Jing Zhe brought back.

An Jinxuan picked up the chicken, turned the head of the chicken back, and pulled the feathers on the chicken's neck twice. With a horizontal stroke of the kitchen knife, the blood poured into the bowl. Seeing that it was almost done, he threw the chicken in his hand into the yard, and the whole During the process, I didn't even touch a drop of chicken blood.

Jing Zhe exclaimed, "Jinxuan, I really have you."

Jinxuan was also complacent, but pretended to be careless and clapped his hands, "What's the matter, it's just a chicken with tied feet, and things in the wild forest are even harder to kill."

These words moved Jing Zhe's heart, and he moved closer to An Jinxuan: "Jinxuan, why don't you take me with you when you go to Linzi in the future."

An Jinxuan looked at him strangely. "You don't need to go to private school?"

Jing Zhe was a little embarrassed, "I've already refunded it, why don't I get some spare money to buy these, I want my mother to make up for it, I thought that if I go with you, I might get something for my mother to eat."

An Jinxuan did not refuse, nor agreed, and left.

Jing Zhe stayed there alone in a daze until Gu Yu asked him to eat.Xiaoman brought the stewed chicken soup to Mrs. Wang, the three brothers and sisters stewed the chicken heads and feet together with green vegetables. They were reluctant to eat meat, so they picked them out one by one, saying that they would use them to cook vegetables and radishes next time.Xiao Man was still counting, "This chicken is enough for my mother to eat for a few days, and the brown sugar and eggs are for my mother to eat during confinement."

Gu Yu put the rice into his mouth and said, "Brother, Aunt Jiang said that the chickens are about to hatch. When the time comes, I will raise the chickens and my father will do carpentry work. We can often eat chickens. You don't have to eat too much at noon." When you are full, eat what you should eat, you always keep half of it, it’s not good if you don’t have the strength to study.”

Jing Zhe's face was a little embarrassed, he patted Gu Yu's head, but said nothing.

That day Li Dequan came back at night, looking very tired, but in good spirits, he took out a handful of wild fruits from his bosom, "I'm going with your second uncle, all the trees have been cut down, but only one Just use it when you come back, and wait for the rest of the tree to dry before dragging. With the tree, you can make those wooden basins and barrels, but I don’t know how the market in the town is, that’s all, let’s do it another day Go find out."

The whole family, each doing their own things, these days after Jingzhe came back, it was very strange, either there was mud on their feet or their legs were wet, but everyone was immersed in the joy of Li Dequan selling things, and didn't pay attention at all.

Another day, Jing Zhe and An Jinxuan went back to the yard with two bamboos, gesticulating there with knives. Cut bamboo strips for them.

Chen Jiangsheng also brought Gu Yu's chickens and put them on a dustpan. Gu Yu counted them carefully, there were 23 in total, and he was a little moved. These 23 eggs were exchanged for 23 chickens. No need to ask, it was Chen's secret. She couldn't be more polite if she made up for it, she could only remember this feeling.

Seeing Jing Zhe and the others were weaving bamboo strips, and they didn't know what to do, Gu Yu rushed over, "Should I make a chicken coop for the chickens?"

Jing Zhe smiled, and An Jinxuan also smiled, but they ignored her.Gu Yu couldn't help it, and didn't bother with them. He went back and squatted there to watch the chicks, which were yellow and fluffy. The chickens are eaten, and she watches whenever she is free, as if watching those chickens can grow up and lay eggs.

The chicken coop was not made after all, the chickens were still small, and they were kept in a wooden basin. Whenever there was a noise, Gu Yu would get up to look at them, for fear of being harmed by weasels.
