Chapter 34
The weather has been extremely hot these past few days, so Yun Yiyi stayed at home, and she didn't go to the town to go to the market this day. Anyway, the owner of the bookstore said that Mr. Ji would come every time he went to the market, and she waited for the weather to cool down before going.

After all, Yun Yiyi was not a farmer, the weather was too hot, she didn't even plant the seeds she bought, she was just lazy.

The two cubs also imitated her appearance and were lazy all day long.

It wasn't until the firewood at home was gone that Yun Yiyi reluctantly planned to go up the mountain.

Although the firewood is inconvenient, Yun Yiyi still likes the taste of the cooked food. It has a native fragrance, which is much more delicious than the rice cooked by a modern rice cooker.

At dusk, when the sun was setting, Yun Yiyi went up the mountain slowly alone, "You two stay at home obediently, do you understand?"

Yan Dashuang wanted to follow, but remembered that Yun Yiyi had only punished him a few days ago, so he didn't say anything, he wanted to listen to his mother.

Yan Xiaoshuang shook her head, "Yeah!"

Only then was Yun Yiyi satisfied.

There were many dead branches and leaves on the mountain, and she picked up a lot of dry firewood along the way.

She didn't look carefully last time, but this time she walked for a while, and found that there was everything in this mountain forest, all kinds of weeds and vegetables abound, and she even saw a clump of fungus on the trunk.

This primitive thing made her feel novel, and she went to the depths of the mountain forest without knowing it.

There was a whirring sound in her ear, before Yun Yiyi could react, she saw this living thing flashing in front of her eyes, and with a bang, it fell down not far from her.

She exclaimed.

"There are still people here."

Two people emerged from the grass behind them, one with a beard and a rough face, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, the other was younger with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Yun Yiyi immediately matched the two people in his mind. They were a father and son, Zhou Orion and his son Zhou Cheng.

"The third daughter-in-law of the Yan family, why are you here?" Zhou Orion asked in surprise, and Zhou Cheng quickly moved the arrow out.

"Father, it's an elk." Zhou Cheng said.

Orion Zhou nodded, looked at Yun Yiyi who was startled, and reminded: "You better not go deep into this mountain forest alone in the future, there are wild beasts here, and if you encounter large wild beasts, even I will be difficult to deal with. "

Zhou Orion's family has no land, so they rely on hunting for a living. They are very familiar with this deep mountain, and sometimes they will wait a day and a night to guard their prey.

Yun Yiyi was indeed startled just now, but now she regained her composure, patted her chest and calmed down: "I just came to collect firewood, and I accidentally strayed into it."

Zhou Orhu looked at the basket on her back, there was some firewood piled in it, but it was not full, so he said, "Third daughter-in-law of the Yan family, if you are short of firewood, ask Zhou Cheng to send you some. "

Yun Yiyi quickly waved her hands, "How dare you do this?"

Zhou Orion said: "Anyway, Zhou Cheng has to cut firewood every day, so it's okay to send you some by the way. You and the two children won't need much firewood."

Yun Yiyi remembered something. Although Zhou Cheng is only 15 years old this year, he has already started to learn hunting with Zhou Orion.He usually helps the women and children in the village to chop firewood or plant land, and he doesn't charge money, but he collects some vegetables or a meal as compensation, which is also considered a sideline business.

Yun Yiyi thought for a while, then said to Zhou Cheng: "Then I will trouble you."

That Zhou Cheng scratched his hair, and said honestly: "It's okay, auntie."

That elk weighed at least a few hundred catties, Yun Yiyi was curious: "Are you going to drag the whole deer back?"

"Yeah, it's almost winter now. When I go back, I'll marinate its meat and keep it for the winter." Orion Zhou was a little happy. Although he often hunts, the probability of encountering large prey is not high, and he can usually catch it. A pheasant and rabbit would be nice, sometimes nothing.

The deer seeds caught this time are enough for this winter. He doesn't sell meat now, so he keeps it for himself.

"So that's it, just the two of you to carry such a big deer?" Yun Yiyi asked doubts.

Zhou Cheng didn't laugh at her either, "I'll watch here until Dad goes back to get the wooden cart."

Out of curiosity, Yun Yiyi picked up some more firewood around, and Zhou Cheng also helped her pick up firewood when he was bored.

After a while, I saw Zhou Orion pushing a wooden cart, and there were two wooden wheels behind it, which were turning rumblingly. After satisfying her curiosity, she didn't stay any longer, so she said don't go home first. .

In ancient times, in order to avoid gossip, it was better for her not to walk back from the depths of the woods with the two Zhou hunters, so as not to be talked about.

Yun Yiyi praised her rare wit. At this time, she had no idea that she had no reputation at all.

Zhou Cheng kept his promise very much. Early the next morning, he brought the firewood. The pile of firewood he carried was not just dead branches and leaves, but he chopped it himself with a knife. In terms of grades, even if Zhou Cheng's firewood is sold in a restaurant, it is worth a few dollars.

"Auntie, I have some firewood left today. I put it in the yard for you." Zhou Cheng put the firewood at the door, and prepared to leave without peeking into Yun Yiyi's door.

What an honest man.

"Wait, I still have something to ask for your help!" Yun Yiyi yelled inside when she heard his voice.

Zhou Cheng stopped and waited politely.

There was a sound of footsteps, he thought it was Yun Yiyi, but when he looked carefully, two small balls rolled out.

Zhou Cheng rarely had contact with the Yan family. After all, he lived far away and hunted in the mountains all the year round. The Yan family had its own labor force and had never invited him.But he had also seen these two children from Yan's family before, they were as thin as skinny bones, but he didn't expect that after a long time, they would change drastically, and they would become fat like balls.

The little fat group raised his head and said, "Mother told you to wait a while."

The other Bai Tuanzi stared at him indifferently, "Yeah!"

The two regiments stared at him motionlessly, like staring at a prisoner, which made him a little nervous.

When Yun Yiyi was cooking, she accidentally spilled soy sauce on her clothes. After changing her clothes, she came out and handed Zhou Cheng a basket of eggs.

Zhou Cheng was taken aback, but didn't pick it up, "Auntie, I can't take it."

He promised Yun Yiyi yesterday, and only left firewood for her today, and he didn't think about getting paid.

Yun Yiyi felt more and more that he was really good, and her body was actually not much older than him, but she was married, so she took up the seniority, "Take it, I have a lot of eggs here, and it's not for nothing. , give me a copy of all the firewood you chop in the future, and I have other things to ask you."

Zhou Cheng heard her say that he still needs to help with the work, so he took the basket, and he lifted the white cloth, his eyes immediately widened, "Auntie, I don't want so many eggs."

He doesn't chop firewood every day, he usually only delivers it once a week. Although this bundle of firewood looks like a lot, it is actually worth at most three renminbi, and the price of an egg is only four renminbi.

Yun Yiyi may have given more eggs, this egg is big, round and shiny, it looks like a good chicken's eggs, but at a glance, there are twenty or thirty eggs, which are heavy to hold in the hand.

He had also heard about Yun Yiyi's deeds before, saying that she spent money lavishly, but he was not familiar with the other party, and he didn't have a deep feeling for her, but he didn't expect her to be so generous to outsiders.This basket of eggs was enough for the whole family to keep for the winter, yet she actually gave them all to him.

Yun Yiyi pressed it to him, "It's okay, I have other things here, so I don't mean to bother you, my two cubs are too young, they are useless at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chengcheng felt two cold lights staring at him, and he took a step back involuntarily, holding the basket.

Yan Xiaoshuang looked away, feeling very puzzled, he insisted on drinking milk powder every day, and obeyed his mother's advice, he was not picky at all, why he still didn't grow taller.

Yan Dashuang jumped up and touched Zhou Cheng's stomach, and said loudly: "Mother, he doesn't have a stomach." Humph, he does.

Yun Yiyi rubbed Dashuang's chubby belly, and said: "You can put it away at ease, don't worry, I have a lot of eggs here, look at the chickens over there are all raised by me."

She doesn't like eggs, so she cooks three eggs in the morning, one for each person.She has a lot of eggs in her backpack, and recently she has grown up two chickens, and can harvest more than a dozen eggs every day, Yun Yiyi also thinks there are too many.

Zhou Cheng is a kind person who can make friends, and he often helps people in the village with work.

After Yun Yiyi planted wild rice that day, she felt that she was really not suitable for working. It would be great if she could hire someone to help her with the work.Her land was almost plowed, and there were still some seeds, so she wanted to ask Zhou Cheng to plant them for her.

It's no secret in the village that Yun Yiyi asked Lao Liu to build a chicken house and raised a hundred chicks at once. Even when Yun Yiyi came back from buying chickens, he ran into her.

But this...

How long has it been? Zhou Cheng calculated the time and was a little confused. It should not be three months. No, it may only be two months.

The fat hens in the chicken shed are clean, their fur is smooth, and they look very energetic.

This grows up?
Zhou Cheng's heart was full of disbelief, it took at least a year and a half to raise chickens in the countryside, and the chickens that grew up in the end were also small and thin. He has been in the village, and he has never seen such a beautiful big hen.

In fact, most chickens have not fully grown into hens, for example, they are still beeping in their mouths, which is evidence.But they are chubby, big, and covered with meat. At first glance, they are fatter than other hens that have been raised for several years.

Zhou Cheng swallowed, turned his head and asked, "Auntie, is this the chicken you bought earlier?"

Yun Yiyi responded casually: "That's right, one egg lays two eggs a day, these eggs are a drop in the bucket to me, just take them."

He wasn't refusing this time, and his heart was full of complications.Nowadays, there are few hens that are good at laying eggs. After all, hens need nutrition to keep up with laying eggs.Some hens can be great if they can lay one egg a day.

He didn't doubt Yun Yiyi's words, it was inconceivable that these chickens were so fat.

It turns out that my aunt is so good at raising chickens.
