Chapter 20 Greedy

Author: cool beauty

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short.

It's seven o'clock in the evening and it's not completely dark yet.

The cool breeze is refreshing, but the weather has become much cooler.

Zhao Laosi lit some mugwort in the yard to repel mosquitoes. Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang took out the food and put it on the old wooden table in the yard. Zhao Yanyan, who was holding the chair, was a little cautious, but she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Hong a few more times.

This strange sister.

Yanyan was still young when Xiao Hong came here last time, and Yanyan, who is only eight years old this year, has no impression of her.

Zhao Yanyan envied her fearlessness.

She had actually come back when her grandma scolded her before, but when she heard her grandma scolding someone, she didn't dare to show up.

But she didn't expect that this strange sister was not afraid of grandma at all and could still spend so much money, which made her extremely envious.

She also wants money to buy delicious sesame sticks, milk-flavored biscuits, and all kinds of delicious candies.

"Xiao Hong, eat more." Wu Julan felt in her heart that her daughter had been wronged, so she poured her a bowl of sparkling wine and then gave her fish: "Try this fish, although it is a little small, but the taste is still good.

good."

After Xiao Hong ate it, she praised: "Mom, your craftsmanship is so good. This fish is fresh, tender and especially delicious."

This is what she said sincerely. The price of this small fish is cheap now, but it will be difficult to buy such fresh and delicious fish if you want to eat it in the future.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that life in this mountain is also wrong.

The air is fresh, the food is delicious, and it is very suitable for retirement.

"Then you eat more." Wu Julan smiled even more and gave her a lot of shrimp: "This shrimp tastes good too."

"Mom, I can do it myself. You should also eat more." Xiao Hong saw Yanyan with an envious face and smiled: "Yanyan, you have to eat more to grow taller."

"Yes, let's eat it while it's hot and fresh." Seeing that her daughters could get along harmoniously, Wu Julan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled even happier.

A plate of braised fish with stir-fried sauerkraut, stir-fried shrimps with sauerkraut, scrambled eggs with leeks, cucumber mixed with sugar, stir-fried beans, and the orange sparkling wine that spurts out when the lid is opened is even more delicious, making the whole family very satisfied.

.

Xiao Fang got up and put away the dishes very diligently: "I'll wash the dishes, you can enjoy the cool outside!"

Yanyan couldn't help but burped: "This sparkling wine is so delicious."

Of course, the price is also expensive, so it is difficult for parents to buy it back to eat.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Hong expectantly, mainly because this sister was rich.

Xiao Hong pretended that she didn't see her. If she came after she agreed, her stepfather and mother would definitely not let her go.

But children are smart, and it will be bad if they point their fingers at themselves for everything in the future.

Seemingly unafraid of people, she came to look for roosters and hens under the small table, and asked with a smile: "Mom, why don't you raise more chickens at home?"

She wants to eat chicken. The chickens here may be free-range at the back. The free-range chickens taste particularly delicious.

Moreover, she vaguely remembered that in the future, the supply of chickens, ducks, and fish here will exceed demand. It is because the mountains and rivers here are good and they are all raised in the mountains and forests. They do not need to be fed. The chickens and ducks will find food by themselves.

, the chicken is particularly good.

Anyway, the price is twice as expensive as outside, and they don’t have to sell it themselves. Rich people from outside drive in and buy it themselves.

She now thinks that this family is not rich, but she is not willing to spend her money to support the family, so she can only find ways to let them work hard to make money and become rich.

Only when the family has money will they be willing to spend money on them and improve the living conditions of the family.

Of course, the most important thing is that she is also hungry for meat.

Besides, she doesn’t need to feed the chickens.

Wu Julan sighed after hearing her words: "Everyone wants to raise more chickens and ducks, but they are afraid that if they raise too many, they will easily get plague."

"Like last year, more than half of the chickens and ducks died in every household in the village? All our chickens were infected with the disease, and not a single one was left. I feel so sad!"

Xiao Hong also remembered that now that chickens and ducks are suffering from plague, everyone can only use local remedies, which is to feed some oxytetracycline tablets. Whether they can survive depends on God's will.

But in the future, there will be more medicines that chickens can take, and disinfection work will be improved. Chicken plague is actually not so scary.

It's a pity that she only has some impression, but she doesn't quite understand it.

Therefore, we can only regret that the project to support the family and make a fortune was aborted before it even started: "Yes, chicken plague is really terrible."

Zhao Youqiang thought that Xiao Hong was greedy for meat, so he pointed at the big rooster that was aggressively eating and pecking other hens: "This chicken is too aggressive, shall we kill it tomorrow?"

Wu Julan was a little reluctant: "It's too hot now, should we wait a little longer?"

At the beginning of spring this year, she raised twenty chicks, eight ducklings, and two goslings.

It's a pity that when the chickens and ducks were young, some were killed by mice, and some were left without food. In the end, there were only three big roosters, eight hens, five hens, and two geese left.

This hen has only been laying eggs for a long time, so she will definitely be reluctant to kill her.

She had already thought about how to eat the remaining three roosters. One would be given to her mother-in-law as a snack during the Chinese New Year, another would be kept for them to eat during the Chinese New Year, and the last one would be reserved for guests.

"What are you waiting for!" Mrs. Zhao walked in quickly and said happily: "Xiao Hong has come to our house, and she is a member of our family. Let's have a meal together tomorrow, and I will bring you a chicken."

She seemed to be a different person, smiling at Xiao Hong with fiery eyes: "The more I look at this child, the more I like him."

"Good boy, you were wronged before, now grandma will love you."

Zhao Youqiang and Wu Julan looked at each other. They had not forgotten that their mother-in-law wanted to kick Xiao Hong out more than an hour ago. Now this change was so drastic that she was so surprised that she was speechless.

"Thank you grandma, I finally have a family again." Xiao Hong also looked at her with a grateful face, but she knew in her heart that she must have gone to Mrs. Jiang to have her fortune told.

It was obvious that Mrs. Jiang's words made her very satisfied, which made her attitude change drastically.

Thinking about it this way, the money given to Mrs. Jiang earlier became less distressing.

Mrs. Zhao smiled from ear to ear: "Yes, this will be your home from now on."

Now that she thinks about what God has said, she is still very excited.

People were shocked when they heard Xiao Hong's birth date, saying that she was one in a million with a good fortune. She had a lot of wealth, could make the family prosperous, bring younger brothers and sisters, and could drive away bad luck.

She also said that the home she stayed in before was only able to live well because of her.

Mrs. Zhao thought about it, isn't it? The ex-husband of the fourth family married again and gave birth to a son. They were also rich and they all drove tractors.

Besides, if someone had no money, how could they be willing to give Xiao Hong so much money?

Thinking about it this way, I found Xiao Hong very pleasing to my eyes, so naturally I wanted her to stay at the fourth family's house.

Therefore, I was very willing and planned to kill a chicken for her and prepare a wedding banquet for her.

She then warned her son: "Fourth brother, don't sit around idle. Go and put the cage in and get some fish and shrimp, so you can add some food tomorrow?"
