The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 65 The Lady's Transformation

Chapter 65 The Lady's Transformation (2)
The son is filial, the daughter-in-law who has never laid eggs is pregnant, and even the daughter who has been so stupid seems to be smarter than herself, she feels that she is content.

"Wash well, this half month will be difficult for your wife." Aunt Su said guiltily as she patted her son's cheek like he did when he was a child.

In the backyard, the chicken coop against the wall of the house is higher than the rear window of the house. No wonder the chickens living next door can look down on everything in the owner’s house when the window is opened.

The long row of chicken coops is divided into three floors.The upper two floors are hens laying eggs, the bottom floor is empty, and a dozen fluffy yellow chicks are running on the fenced-off space, and even their cries are milky 'chichi' Voice.

Looking up at the large-scale 'mansion' of the hens, Su Xiazhi asked in puzzlement: "It's so high, how did the chickens upstairs get up there?"

"Your brother caught them one by one." Aunt Su who came after him explained, "Every morning, I touch the butts of the chickens one by one to see which one has eggs and send them to the highest floor. They can be collected after noon." A crop of eggs. Our Westinghouse has quite a few eggs in stock.”

Su Xia had never raised chickens in her last life, so she half-understood what the old lady said, so she didn't dare to make random comments.It's just that the Su family's backyard is very spacious, bigger than the front yard. It's really not a good idea to build such a row of chicken coops next to his residence.

Not to mention how noisy it is to listen to the chirping and chirping noises under the windows every day, even the smell of chicken is enough to make people dream!

After washing his feet, the corner of his robe was still pinned to his waist, and he was wearing wooden clogs without trouser legs. Su Chunlai walked over with a 'da da': "Sister, where do you think the chicken coop is suitable?"

Su Chunlai is not lazy, and he is strict in doing things, and he doesn't even think about taking a bath like his father.He only listens to what he trusts.

It turned out that he only listened to his mother, but now he felt that what his sister said was also reasonable.As for Yang Qiaolian, she was not among the choices.He thinks he is better than his wife. Although the chickens in the pen are raised by his wife, she has never counted them, so he knows the exact number.

"How many chickens are there?" Looking at the little heads protruding from the chicken coop, Miss Su felt that the number was quite a lot.

"One for four cents. I bought 81 chickens and caught a litter of chicks from his family. The man saw that I bought them and gave me one more. Now there are [-] chickens laying eggs in the family. Every day It can collect about forty eggs." Yang Qiaolian said looking at the chicken ancestors who were about to eat her poor.

"She stole a chicken from someone else, it wasn't given by him. I saw it." Su Chun came to correct the unrealistic part of his wife's words.

"You!" The lie was exposed, Yang Qiaolian blushed, raised her hand and punched him: "Won't you show me some face?"

Su Chunlai was expressionless. The people standing in the backyard were all his own people. He didn't think there was anything wrong with saying that. "And it wasn't 81 eggs that laid eggs, it was 85."

"You and the shopkeeper went into the house to make money, and I stole four more. So there are 85 in total." Several women stared at him, which made Su Chunlai a little embarrassed, and he looked up at the sky. .

Yang Qiaolian was pleasantly surprised. She patted her husband's arm and didn't know what to say, feeling that she had taken advantage of it.

Nodding her head, Su Xiazhi felt relieved, thinking that her brother had a "promising future"... stronger than a weasel.

Several people discussed it, and finally decided to build a new chicken coop against the courtyard wall. They didn’t want to make it so high, so they just built a door with a lockable door with bricks, so that it is much safer when the door is locked at night.

After leaving Xinghua Village and returning to Shanxia Village, Su Chunlai and his sister went to Min's house, carrying a basket of eggs on their backs.

Su Xiazhi went into the house to count the money for her brother. Su Chunlai circled around the brother-in-law who had become thin like a bamboo, and finally pinched the scholar's thin shoulders and lovingly imparted the experience of longevity: "It's okay to wash your feet."

"..." Min Lansheng had a high fever for several days, and Min Lansheng suspected that he had burnt out his brain.Otherwise, why couldn't he understand what the uncle said?
First, he handed the money to his elder brother, and watched him put the money close to his body, then Su Xiazhi went into the kitchen.Wrapping the dozen or so pickled eggs left in the cabinet with a cloth, she lifted the upside-down basket on the table: "Where's the meatloaf? There's one left..."

"Xiucai, is there a piece of meat pie left in the morning?" Su Xiazhi shouted into the yard.

"You ate two in the morning, so there's nothing left." The scholar meowed like a weak cat, looking like he was just recovering from a serious illness.

"..." Miss Su looked back at the staring and nonsense thing and squinted and smiled: "Oh, I said you are not hungry at all. You have no appetite now, so you won't cook for that night."

The scholar's proud little eyes turned into resentment in an instant: "We don't eat, brother-in-law always wants to entertain when he comes all the way."

"I'll go back and eat. I made an agreement with my mother." Su Chunlai took the pickled eggs handed to him by his sister, and carried the old man on his back: "Next time I will bring the eggs back to you."

After seeing her brother off, Miss Su squatted on the ground to write and draw. Min Lansheng looked left and right around what she wrote, wondering what the lady wrote.

The pile of winding things on the ground is comparable to the magic charms drawn by Taoist priests in Taoist temples to drive away ghosts, which he has never seen before.

Su Xiazhi is settling accounts.

My sister-in-law bought more than 80 laying hens at one go, and the hens will rest when laying eggs, usually one every other day.That is to say, now the Su family can collect about forty eggs a day.A month is [-].

In this way, according to the current sales volume, the number of eggs is basically satisfied, and she will not have to go out to buy eggs every ten days in the future.At that time, my brother will deliver the goods to the door, which saves her a lot of trouble.

If shopkeeper Li can sell all of them, then she can have an income of nearly five taels of silver a month, and it is a stable income!

Miss Su, who had counted in her heart, stood up, stretched out her feet and wiped the numbers on the ground, and greeted the scholar with a smile: "If you are tired, go back to the room and lie down, anyway, there is no food tonight."

"Miss, you can't do this!" Xiucai protested. He was sick for a few days and was fed rice noodle soup by his wife, and he felt his stomach was swollen: "We are a husband and wife. Is there any difference between what I eat and what you eat? ?”
