After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In the evening, when Li Xiangping came back from clearing land, he found Yuan Huiniang in a daze in the house.

Ever since the separation, Yuan Huiniang was either busy with high spirits or hanging around Yan Qingqing every day. She rarely had such leisure time.

When Li Xiangping saw that Yuan Huiniang hadn't responded even though he had already entered the room, he walked up to her, waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Yuan Huiniang come back to her senses and said, "Mom asked me to buy chickens and ducks today, and I agreed."

Li Xiangping said, "This is not a big deal."

Seeing that Li Xiangping didn't respond at all, Yuan Huiniang continued: "But I'm afraid I can't handle it well?"

Li Xiangping looked at her with some surprise. Wasn't it just buying a few chickens and ducks? What's the difficulty? Could it be that the breed his mother requested was a little special, but the chickens and ducks were just male and female.

When Yuan Huiniang saw Li Xiangping looking at her like this, she said helplessly: "My mother asked for too many, [-] chickens and [-] ducks."

Li Xiangping was also surprised when he heard this. Why did his mother buy so many chickens and ducks?

Because Li Xiangping was busy with things all day long and didn't know anything about Yan Qingqing's plan for the ecological orchard.

However, out of trust in Yan Qingqing, Li Xiangping felt that his mother's purchase of such chickens and ducks must be of great use, so he said: "Since mother has given orders, then go ahead and buy them as much as possible.

I remember that your aunt has an aunt who specializes in selling cockroaches and ducks. If that doesn't work, go back and ask them how many cockroaches they can get.

In addition, the second brother often travels around the county town and knows many people. I will ask him to inquire later. "

After hearing Li Xiangping's words, Yuan Huiniang suddenly had a backbone. Her mother-in-law entrusted this matter to her because of her trust in her. She really wanted to do it well.

Early the next morning, Yuan Huiniang said to Yan Qingqing: "Mom, I want to go back to my parents' house today."

Yan Qingqing was a little surprised that Yuan Huiniang, who was young and unruly, thought of returning to her parents' home.

It’s no wonder that Yan Qingqing is surprised. Why are sons favored over daughters these days? Because the married daughter throws water away, she will only go back to her parents’ home unless it’s a festival or there’s something important going on in her parents’ home. When her parents come to invite a girl, of course there are exceptions. If If the mother-in-law is tolerant enough or the lintel of the natal family is high enough, then this may not necessarily be the case.

However, Yan Qingqing was not that kind of evil mother-in-law. After being surprised, she said: "Huiniang must be homesick, go ahead and ask Dalang to accompany you.

There are still a few pieces of cloth in the warehouse. You can pick two pieces later to make new clothes for your parents. "

Yuan Huiniang knew that her mother-in-law was generous and generous, so she said, "Mom, when I went back for the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, you asked me to bring a lot of fabrics to my parents.

My mother also asked me to thank you, so I won’t take it with me this time. I can just buy them something when I pass by the town. "

Yan Qingqing knew that Yuan Huiniang had money, so she didn't force it, so she didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Li Xiangping accompanied Yuan Huiniang back to her parents' home, while Yan Qingqing took care of Li Xiangyang in the room.

This girl has been eating for more than a month and is fat. She spends more time awake now than she did during confinement, but she doesn't cry or fuss as long as she's full.

In fact, Yan Qingqing didn't really want to breastfeed this girl. The main reason was that it was too painful. She opened her clothes and looked at her, and she was already bald.

But there was no milk powder in this era, so she had nothing to do. However, even if this girl was her biological child, she did not plan to breastfeed her for too long. Yan Qingqing thought that it would be impossible to buy a milking goat then.

In the evening, everyone at home came back, and Yan Qingqing gave everyone a half-hour class as usual. Li Xiangbao knew that his foundation was poor and there was a gap between him and his brothers and sisters, so he always studied seriously.

Yan Qingqing likes this kind of motivated children very much. If he had extra time, he would tutor him alone. Li Xiangbao was very touched and became more determined to be loyal to Yan Qingqing in the future.

After everyone finished class, Yuan Huiniang said to Yan Qingqing: "Mom, there is an aunt in my mother's family who specializes in the cockroach chicken business.

I told her that our family needed [-] chickens and [-] ducks. She was also very excited, but she couldn't bear to have so many at once.

The batch currently in production includes [-] chickens and [-] ducks, and they will be able to leave the nest in about three to five days.

This year there will be up to [-] chickens and [-] ducks. After that, when the weather gets cold, the flies won’t be able to come out.

In terms of price, chicks, both male and female, are priced at [-] cents each, while ducks are relatively more expensive, costing [-] cents each.

Mom, do you think it's okay? If possible, I'll send a message to my mother's side. "

Only then did Yan Qingqing realize that Yuan Huiniang returned to her parents' home today for this reason, so she smiled and said: "Of course, it's quite a lot to have so many people in one family.

Erlang often travels around the county town, and there are many chickens selling in the streets and alleys.

It would be enough for him to go to the city and bring some back every day. "

Li Xiangan also said after hearing this: "Brother told me about this this morning, and I have already spread the word. Today, there are several chicken sellers waiting for me at the door of Yuelaiju.

But our ecological orchard hasn’t been finished yet, so I didn’t dare to take it home today. "

When Li Xiangjian heard this, he quickly said: "We are already building a fence. Because the quantity of barbed wire is too much, I went to several blacksmith shops to get it all. I'm afraid it will take half a month to actually install it."

The ecological orchard is not like building an embroidery workshop, which requires time and effort to build a large brick building, but the protective measures for this ecological orchard must be good, and the fences and iron nets must be strong.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and said: "Erlang can buy some of them first and keep them in our old home, and then put them in after they are repaired there.

In addition, I will buy some geese. You don’t need to buy too many. Just buy a hundred or so geese. "

The chicks are too small and cannot be raised for the time being, because low resistance means high mortality. Yan Qingqing doesn't want to spend so much effort to buy them back and there won't be many left by then.

And geese are good housekeepers. With these hundred or ten geese around, weasels and chicken thieves can basically be eliminated.

After hearing this, Li Xiangan quickly agreed, then looked at Yan Qingqing and said: "Mom, when I asked shopkeeper Xue to buy horses, things were already clear. He said that a batch of good horses would be coming from Fanbang in the near future. How to save one for our family.

There is also the matter of increasing the amount of red wine at our house. This was something shopkeeper Xue had promised before, but he didn’t mention it because my mother had been having confinement.

Today I asked him to buy horses and he finally couldn't bear it anymore. I was wondering if I could increase the supply to them. "

Yan Qingqing nodded after hearing this. This was indeed what she had promised Shopkeeper Xue before. And the weather has been getting cooler recently, so it doesn’t hurt to do more.

So he replied: "Since the business is now in your hands, just watch and make sure it's done. But you can't give as much as you ask for. Hunger marketing still needs to be done."

After saying so many things in one breath, Yan Qingqing felt a little tired, so he asked them all to go back and rest.
