Chapter 32 Chicken Out of Shell

  Chapter 32 Chicken Out of Shell

   Mr. Zhao looked at the white-faced steamed buns, and felt grateful for a while: "They have such a good heart."

   Seeing the three children each holding one and reluctant to eat, Zhao and Su Saburo wanted to cry and laugh.

   Finally, Mrs. Zhao said softly, "Eat it."

   "Mother, you and dad also eat it."

   Su Sanmei was reluctant to bite, Su Chong and Su Hua took a big bite after Zhao's words, showing a satisfied expression.

   Mrs. Zhao gently stroked Su Sanmei's hair and said with a smile, "Mother can eat it, you can eat it, there are more here."

  In this way, Su Sanmei started to eat steamed buns.

  Su Saburo took one to Mrs Zhao and said, "My dear, you should eat one too. The rest will be eaten for dinner in the evening, and the braised pork will be chopped and boiled in the evening."

   Zhao looked at Su Saburo and said, "Dad, then I'll give you half."

Being always thinking about it, Su Saburo was very warm in his heart, he smiled and said, "My dear, I already ate two big steamed buns in Sun's Mansion, both of which Master Fu asked me to eat, and also gave me water to drink. I didn't lie to you, really."

   Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Saburo. Seeing that his eyes did not evade, with a smile and sincerity, Mrs. Zhao believed it. She smiled and said, "Okay, then I will eat."

   Susanmei went out to eat with her two brothers.

Su Sanlang took out five taels of silver and handed it over to Mrs. Zhao and said, "My dear, you have collected the money. I have inquired with Master Fu. There is a miscellaneous doctor's office in Yangjiao Town. After saving some more money, we will go to the city as a family during the New Year, take Brother Chong and Brother Hua to see the doctor, and let the doctor show you how well your body is recovering."

   After taking the medicine that Old Man Wu prescribed, Zhao's complexion and body were much better than before.

   But there is a chance, he still wants the doctor in the city to show Zhao Shi again.

   Zhao shi mentioned Su Saburo's plan and nodded with tears in his smile: "Okay, listen to you."

   It doesn't matter if she sees it or not, the most important thing is to show her two sons, but there is no need to say this, Su Saburo loves her, how can she brush off his love.

   The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhao's heart was warm, and Su Saburo's heart was not.

   He is the backbone of the family, sheltering them from the wind and rain, but all his warmth and belonging are also given to him by his wife, who supports him, understands his wife, obedient and well-behaved child, is given to him by his wife Zhao.

  Su Saburo picked up Su Xiaolu and played with her.

  Su Xiaolu smiled and looked forward to the future of this family.

"My dear, the family will be working hard for you during this time. When I go into the mountains tomorrow, I will take Brother Chong and Brother Hua with me. After October, there will be basically no work in the fields. , but other people have to cut firewood and turn the ground, and in November, when everyone is free, they will also think about going into the mountains to catch something, so I have to make more traps this month."

  Su Saburo looked at Zhao and said that he had to take advantage of this kung fu to earn more money, so that he would have the money to see a doctor for the two children.

   Zhao's heart is also clear, she nodded: "Don't worry, just leave everything at home to me."

  Su Saburo counted his days and said, "The hen has been in the nest for twenty-one or two days, and the chicks are going to come out of the nest these days. You have to work hard."

   Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "What kind of hard work is this? You don't have to worry about the family affairs. I did a good job."

   Mr. Zhao is very clear that in October, the busy days of farming are almost over, and most of the households are turning over the land by chopping firewood.

   And Su Saburo has prepared all of these in more than a month, so when others chop wood and turn the ground, he can take his two sons into the mountains to make traps and catch wild things.

   Su Saburo did all this for her and the child's sake. How could the Zhao family drag him back, so she let Su Saburo go at ease.

   Even for a long time, Su Saburo didn't sit idle, watering the ground and weeding.

The Zhao family asked Su Sanmei and three siblings to take care of Su Xiaolu, while she went to boil the warm water to knead the dough, add some ground gold and jade cobs powder to the dough, and then use it to steam the steamed buns, so that the big thick steamed buns came out one by one. , This is what she prepared for Su Saburo to take the child into the mountain.

   The next morning, Su Saburo woke up his two sons and went out.

   Zhao took Su Sanmei and Su Xiaolu at home, kept the house in good order, and watered the ground every day to ensure that the soil was moist.

  , at noon, when Su Sanmei was catching bugs to feed the chickens, she heard the chickens' cry. She cautiously walked into the chicken pen to see that a fluffy head came out of the hen's wings.

   Third Sister Su exclaimed, "Wow."

   Mrs. Zhao was feeding Su Xiaolu in the house, when she heard a voice ask, "Sanmei, what's the matter."

  Su Sanmei replied in surprise: "Mother, our chicks have hatched."

   Watching the hen's wings pop out one after another, the chick's head emerges one after another, making a subtle cry, Su Sanmei said happily: "It's so cute, just as cute as the fourth sister."

When Mr. Zhao in the house heard Su Sanmei said that the chick had hatched, he also showed a smile, and while tying the button, he said to Su Xiaolu: "Second sister, go, mother will show you the chick, I guess this is also the case. I'll be out of the nest in two days."

   Zhao came out with Su Xiaolu in his arms, and handed Su Xiaolu to Su Sanmei to hold her, while she lifted the hen away.

   Of the sixteen eggs, eight have already hatched, and the other eight are also showing signs of pecking their shells. Zhao sighed with relief: "If only sixteen chicks could be produced."

   "Mother, chicks are so cute, they are so small, can they eat bugs?"

  Su Sanmei asked, she knew that the newly born fourth sister would drink mother's milk to grow up, so what do the newly born chicks eat, and the hens have no milk.

Zhao Shi smiled and said, "Mother has prepared them for a long time. When they were born, they can only eat some vegetable leaves or chaff, but we don't have chaff at home, so let's give them some ground powder from a golden jade stick. Chickens can't eat much, and when they grow up, they can eat worms."

  Eating food is expensive, but when the chickens grow stronger, they can eat worms.

  In the two wastelands in front of my house, I don't know how many worms are enough to eat them.

   "Mother, when the chicks can eat worms, I will catch a lot of worms for them every day and keep them fat."

   Su Sanmei said happily, from this moment on, her goal is to feed this group of chicks fat.

   Zhao Shi smiled and said, "Sanmei is not afraid of hard work."

   Su Sanmei shook her head, she was not afraid, and catching bugs was not hard at all, she was just playing.

   Mrs. Zhao stroked Su Sanmei's hair and said nothing.

   She paid attention to the unshelled eggs.

  Su Xiaolu was also watching it originally, but after watching it for a while, he lost interest.

   struggled to look outside, Su Sanmei understood immediately: "Mother, the fourth sister wants to go to the yard, I will take her out to play."

   Zhao shi nodded reassuringly and said, "Go, be careful."
