The third uncle suddenly realized that when the old man came back from helping to raise the fence last time, he had been warned not to ask too many questions about certain things.

"Okay, I'll catch it for you. Do you want a male or a female?"

"As long as it's a male, I went to pick up some mushrooms in the mountains today. I'm thinking of buying a chicken to stew and eat. The hens in my house are all laying eggs. I can't bear to kill them to eat."

Hearing what her third uncle said, Su Ziling's smile grew even wider.

She can still trust the character of these two families. After all, their family has been taken care of by them in recent years.

"Okay, I'll catch a big one for you. I originally thought I'd keep it for a few more days and let your third uncle carry it all out and sell it." The third uncle took a hemp rope and hung it on the stool, rolled up his sleeves Just go catch the chicken.

She raises a lot of chickens, and they are fenced in. They are surrounded by mountains and forests. If they are not fenced, there are many wild animals in the mountains that specialize in eating chickens. They can kill a large number of them in one night, and there is no place to cry. , you dare not eat it even if it bites you to death, who knows if it is poisonous or something like that. (I’m really angry. My family is free-range. I started breeding them during the Chinese New Year last year. In a month or two, I killed 70 to 80 animals.)

The chickens around the fence were not that wild and were still very tame. The third uncle threw a handful of chicken grass, and the chickens came over to eat it.

After a while, the third uncle was carrying a big rooster with a few chicken feathers on her hair. She said a few times, "Bah, bah, bah"

"These chicken feathers are flying everywhere!"

"Old man, come and tie up your feet. I'm afraid Xiaoqing will be carried away by the wings!"

The big rooster was still flapping. She held the feet with one hand and the wings with the other. "This chicken is a bit old. It needs to be stewed more, otherwise it won't be able to bite."

"Hey, I got it, third uncle, your chickens are really well raised, they are so fat!" They are indeed very fat, smooth and smooth, and are better than those raised by ordinary people.

Just like hers, one by one is pecked, and each one has crooked melons, cracked dates, and irregular facial features. The crown is even crooked.

Some are even bald. The upper part of their tails are bald, and the longest tail hairs have been pecked away.

"That's because your sister catches bugs and earthworms every day for them to eat."

The younger sister, the daughter of Uncle A Yuan's family, is called Su Ziqiu. She is about the same age as A Xiu. Su Ziling has met her once. She is much taller than A Xiu and more cheerful.

"Hey, where's Zi Qiuren? Why didn't I see her?"

Third uncle: "I don't know where I went crazy again, running all over the mountain like a kid."

"Zi Qiu is lively. Unlike A Xiu, he is a bit lazy and slow-tempered." The chicken was big, so Su Ziling gave him forty coins.

"It's too much, it's too much. How can we get so much? Your third uncle only carried thirty coins to the county." The third uncle returned the money.

"Not much. Your chickens are big, one is as big as the two in the market. I can buy the meat of two chickens for the price of one chicken. What a bargain. Take it. I'll leave first. There’s no fire in the house yet!”

Su Ziling didn't give them a chance to refuse, put down the money, picked up the chicken in one hand and the basket in the other, turned around and ran away.

Looking at the third uncle who followed her out, she ran faster.

"You girl, why are you running? Come and sit here when you have time!" The third uncle stood at the gate, looking at the figure, quite dumbfounded.

"Hey, I got it!" The girl stood not far away and waved towards her, "Uncle, come and sit down if you have time!"

"I know!" The third uncle looked at the money in her hand, then looked at the figure, and said to the third uncle beside her: "This girl has changed so much!"

"This is what the old man often said. Surviving a catastrophe will lead to blessings later. At first, everyone thought she would not survive. Unexpectedly, she managed to survive. She has suffered this sin, and she should enjoy the blessings."

Third uncle is so nagging.

"Speak humanly!" The third uncle didn't tolerate him.

The third uncle paused and coughed, "I just fell down and got better."

"Oh," the third uncle said lightly, "Next time if you have something to say, just say it and don't ramble on."

The third uncle shook his head, "But how come the chicken you just caught looks like the one you said you would keep as a breeding chicken?"

"That's the one, any breeder chicken can't be used, as long as it's a male, they have a lot of family members, and if the chicken is too small, I'm afraid it won't be enough to eat, so just sell it. They even gave me an extra ten cents." The third uncle said After entering the house and putting the money away, the two started picking sweet potatoes again.

"After washing it in a while, hang it up to dry. I think the water will be gone tomorrow morning. Let's send it over during the day." The third uncle thought, it would not be appropriate to send it over after it has just been washed. If there is water, it will be better.

"During the day?" The third uncle shook his head, "Not during the day. They are all busy during the day and no one is at home. Who will send her there to weigh her? Do you expect sister-in-law? It's not like you don't know her health. Send her there tomorrow night. In the evening I guess they’re all back.”

"Okay!" The third uncle responded.

After returning home, looking at the big cock in their hands, the three of them looked at each other and asked, "Grandma, can you kill it?"

Su A'nai shook her head.

Su A'nai looked at her, "You don't dare either?"

Su Ziling was about to cry but had no tears, "Grandma, it's not that I don't dare, I don't know how to kill!"

The two of them turned their attention to the third person, uh...

Axiu blinked, "I can feed the chickens."

Su Ziling couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, "Forget it, forget it, wait until grandpa comes back."

"Why are you waiting for me to come back?"

Cao Cao was about to arrive. As soon as Su Ziling finished speaking, Mr. Su's voice came from the door, "Grandpa, are you back?"

Mr. Su also had a piece of dry firewood as thick as an arm in his hand. He threw the firewood aside and said, "It didn't rain, so there was less budding."

Several people picked two sacks each, and he put the tea aside. "I think we will have to wait a long time next time. If it doesn't rain, we won't be able to get it out for a while."

"It's okay, just take whatever you have. Grandpa, please take a break and help me kill this chicken!" Su Ziling pointed to the big rooster with its feet tied to the side.

"What a great day today, why are you celebrating by eating chicken?"

"I went into the mountains to pick up some incense and thought about killing a chicken and stewing it together." Su Ziling took out the knife and bowl and gave them to Grandpa Su, then returned to the kitchen to cook.

"Has the water been boiled?"

"Burn it." Su Ziling's voice came from the kitchen.

Mr. Su nodded, "As long as you have it, I'll kill him."

As soon as Su Ziling finished cooking the rice, Su's mother came into the room to take her place, "You go ahead and fry the tea leaves, I'll do it."

"That's okay, grandma, when the chicken is ready, call me to stew it!"

"I know, let's go!"

Mother Su did not carry any heavy burdens, but she had already started to go up the mountain with Father Su and the others. I don't know if it was because of nutrition or something else, but she felt that Mother Su's body was not as weak as before.
