Chapter 32 Chicken Out of Shell

Zhao looked at the white steamed buns and felt grateful: "They are so good."

Seeing the three children holding one and unable to bear to eat, Zhao and Su Sanlang wanted to cry and laugh.

Finally, Zhao said gently: "Eat."

"Mom, you and daddy will eat too."

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

Zhao gently touched Su Sanmei's hair and said with a smile: "Mom can eat it, you can eat it, there is still something here."

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

Su Sanlang took one to Zhao and said, "Brother, you can eat one too. We will eat the rest for dinner later. The braised pork will be cut into dried vegetables at night."

Zhao looked at Su Sanlang and said, "Dad, then I'll share half of you."

Being thinking about it all the time, Su Sanlang felt very warm. He smiled and said, "Brother, I have eaten two big steamed buns in the Sun Mansion. They were all Master Fu asked me to eat and gave me water. I didn't lie to you, really."

Zhao looked at Su Sanlang, and saw that his eyes were not shining, with a smile and sincerity, Zhao believed it. She smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll eat it."

Su Sanmei took her two brothers out to eat.

Su Sanlang took out the five taels of silver and handed it to Zhao and said, "Brother, you have collected the silver. I have asked Master Fu. There is a miscellaneous doctor hall in Yangjiao Town. In two months, we will save some more silver. During the Chinese New Year, our family will go to the city to take Chong Geer and Hua Geer to see the doctor, and also let the doctor show you whether your health is recovering well."

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

However, when he had the chance, he still wanted the doctor in the city to show Zhao again.

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

It doesn't matter whether she looks at it or not. The most important thing is to show it to her two sons, but there is no need to say this. Su Sanlang cares about her, so how could she ignore his care?

The two looked at each other and smiled. Zhao felt warm in his heart, and Su Sanlang felt the same.

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

Su Sanlang picked up Su Xiaolu and teased her and played with her.

Su Xiaolu smiled and was full of expectations for the future of this family.

"My mother, you will have to work hard at home during this period. When I go into the mountain tomorrow, I will take Brother Chong and Brother Hua with me. After October, there will be basically no work in the fields, but others will also chop wood and turn the ground. When November, when everyone is free, they will also think about going into the mountain to catch something. I have to take advantage of this month to do more traps."

Su Sanlang looked at Zhao and said, "He had to make more money by taking advantage of this skill, so that he could have money to treat his children."

Zhao knew it in her heart, and she nodded: "Don't worry, just leave everything at home to me."

Su Sanlang calculated the days and said, "It's been twenty-one or two days since the hens hold their nests. The chickens are going to leave the nest these days. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao smiled and said, "What a hard work. You don't have to worry about the family affairs. I've done it well."

Zhao knew very well that in October, the busy farming days were almost over, and most of the households were chopping wood and turning the ground.

Su Sanlang has prepared all these well in the past month, so if others chop wood and turn the ground, he can take his two sons into the mountain to take traps and catch wild animals.

Su Sanlang did all this for her and her children. How could Zhao drag him back? So she asked Su Sanlang to go with peace of mind.

Even for the past half day, Su Sanlang was not idle, so he carried water to water the ground and weeded.

Zhao asked Su Sanmei and his three siblings to take care of Su Xiaolu, but she went to boil warm water and knead the dough, added some ground gold and jade stick powder to the dough, and then used it to steam steamed buns. In this way, the big thick steamed buns came out. This was prepared by her for Su Sanlang to bring her children into the mountain.

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

Zhao took Su Sanmei and Su Xiaolu at home, and only cleaned the house, watered the fields every day to ensure that the land was wet.

At noon, Su Sanmei heard the chicks cry while catching insects and feeding chickens. She walked into the chicken circle carefully to see that a furry head emerged from the hen's wings.

Su Sanmei exclaimed: "Wow."

Zhao was feeding Su Xiaolu in the house and asked, "San Sister, what's wrong?"

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

Seeing the chicken's heads appearing one after another and making a slight cry, Su Sanmei said happily: "So cute, as cute as the fourth sister."

When Zhao heard Su Sanmei say that the chick hatched, she smiled. She tied her buttons and said to Su Xiaolu: "Fourth sister, I'll take you to see the chicks. I guess I'm going to leave in the past two days."

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

Eight of the sixteen eggs had already been shelled, and the other eight had signs of pecking at the shell. Zhao sighed with relief: "I wish I could have sixteen chickens."

"Mom, the chicks are so cute. They are so small, can they eat bugs?"

Su Sanmei asked, she knew that the newborn fourth sister wanted to drink her mother's milk and grow up. What should the newborn chick eat? The hen has no milk.

Zhao smiled and said, "Mom has prepared them for them a long time ago. She was born and could only eat some vegetables, leaves or bran. However, we don't have bran at home, so we can give them some powder ground with golden jade rods. If it's still a chick, we can't eat much. When we grow up, we can eat bugs."

Although it is expensive to eat food, you can eat bugs when the chicks grow stronger.

There are countless insects in the two wastelands at the door of my house, enough for them to eat.

"Mom, when the chickens can eat bugs, I will catch a lot of bugs for them every day and raise them all fat."

Su Sanmei said happily that from this moment on, her goal was to feed these little chickens to fat.

Zhao smiled and said, "The third sister is not afraid of hard work."

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

Zhao touched Su Sanmei's hair and didn't say anything.

She was paying attention to the eggs that had not yet been shelled.

Su Xiaolu was watching it too, but after watching it for a while, she was no longer interested.

He struggled to look outside, and Su Sanmei understood immediately: "Mom, the fourth sister wants to go to the yard, so I will carry her out to play."

Zhao nodded with confidence and said, "Go, be careful."
