The Miracle Doctor’s Two-Faced Toddler

   Chapter 22 [] Raising chickens and laying eggs

But she said that after Yu Wan hunted five plump pheasants and a bunch of fat and sturdy hares, the basket was almost full, and there was no room for winter bamboo shoots. She only dug a few and carried them in her arms before going down the mountain with satisfaction. .

   Little Tiedan thought that my sister was going to dig bamboo shoots and go fishing. She was counting how many fish she could eat tonight, when she saw her sister came back with a few pheasants and hares on her back.

   Little Tie Dan has never seen such a big chicken and rabbit, and his eyes are straight: "Sister! Is this a chicken? Why is it so big? The rabbit is so big! It's bigger than the rabbit in Lizheng's family!"

   Rabbit is a rarity, not just anyone can afford to raise it. Back then, I was in town to buy a gray rabbit, but I was envious of the big guys.

   "Sister! Where did you get the rabbit?" Little Tie Dan squatted down and grabbed the rabbit's ears.

  Yu Wan hurriedly grabbed his little hand: "Be careful it bites."

   "Do rabbits still bite people?" Little Tie Dan asked in confusion.

   "Of course." Rabbits occasionally bite, let alone these two hares? However, it is strange to say that they look like hares, but they are much more docile than expected. If they hadn't been found in such a desolate place, she would have thought that someone had caught the hares to keep them free.

   Yu Wan kept the hare in a makeshift open-air chicken coop.

   It is said to be a small chicken coop, but it is actually a small circle surrounded by bamboo strips two feet high, less than one meter in diameter.

   Little Tie Dan obediently squatted outside the chicken coop, staring at the big fat rabbit without blinking.

  Yu Wan glanced at him with a smile and said, "Want to eat rabbits at night?"

   "Huh?" Little Tie Dan turned his head and looked at his sister in horror, how could such a cute rabbit be eaten?

   "Don't eat, don't eat." Yu Wan hurriedly said.

   Little Tie Dan heaved a sigh of relief and heard Yu Wan say again, "Then sell it."

   Little Iron Egg: "…"

   Yu Wan put the pheasant into the chicken coop.

  When Mrs. Jiang came to the backyard, Yu Wan was carrying the chicken coop to the eaves in the backyard.

  Yu Wan put down the chicken coop, turned her head, and saw her mother leaning on the door frame of the back door of the main room, looking at her with a smile.

   Even in sackcloth and sackcloth, Mrs Jiang is still as beautiful as a fairy in the forest. With such a stunning appearance, you can't help but be amazed after seeing it several times.

   But what Yu Wan cared about more was Jiang Shi's meaningful eyes.

   Could it be that he has been too capable these days, making Jiang Shi suspect?

   "Auntie..."

  Yu Wan was about to find an excuse for herself, when Jiang Shi said of course: "I'll just say, you used to have a broken brain."

  Yu Wan: "…"

   After cleaning the backyard, Yu Wan and Jiang Shi talked about the uncle: "Mother, how much money does the uncle need to go to the capital to treat his legs?"

   Jiang shi held his chin and thought for a while: "At least...a hundred taels."

  Yu Wan was speechless: "So many?"

   "Yeah." Jiang Shi calmly nodded, "Your uncle has missed the best time for treatment. Ordinary doctors can't treat his disease, and famous doctors' consultation fees are not cheap... Or how about ordinary people can't get sick."

  The word "common people" popped out of a peasant woman's mouth, always like an outsider telling the story of another group of people.

  Yu Wan glanced at Jiang Shi.

   Mrs Jiang also looked at her, smiled and said, "But I believe that Awan will definitely earn so much money."

   So many... That's what a peasant woman would say.

  Yu Wan said, "I plan to sell half of the pigs in the family. I have sold all the pheasants and hares. The money I earn will help my family to buy some New Year's goods. A-niang will also see if she and her brother need any additional purchases."

   She still has fourteen taels left over from the last sale of salt, and the money will not be moved, but will be reserved for her uncle for consultation and travel expenses.

   Mrs Jiang said with a smile, "Okay."

   "Sister, Sister! Come and see!" Little Tie Dan, who was squatting beside the chicken coop, waved his hand to Yu Wan, "The pheasant has laid eggs!"

  The average chicken will not lay eggs after entering the winter. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Yu Wan would not have believed it was true.

  Yu Wan picked up the hot wild egg and said with satisfaction: "Then I won't sell this one, keep it for laying eggs, and my sister will cook eggs for you every day."

That night, the hen that laid the egg was given special treatment by Yu Wan - she moved to a large and comfortable "luxury" chicken coop, not only entered the house, spread hay, but also put feed.

   The next day, when Yu Wan went to clean up the chicken coop in the backyard, she found that there were four other plump pheasants in it, all of which had also laid an egg.

   stunned Yu Wan: "…"

  …

   Pheasant... Pheasant is no longer for sale, but there are rabbits and pigs.

  Tomorrow is the day to go to the market. Before that, we can go to the mountain again.

   She planned to call Yu Feng and Yu Song, but as soon as she went out, she ran into the two of them. The two were carrying wooden buckets with fishing nets in them. Obviously, they thought of it together with her.

   "Big brother, second brother." She greeted with a smile.

   Yu Song's face was stinky.

  Yu Feng replied as usual: "The weather is not very good, it may be snowing soon, and when the lake freezes, there is no way to catch fish. My second brother and I will net more today."

  Yu Wan looked at the gloomy sky and agreed, "Then I'll dig more bamboo shoots."

   paused, thought of something, and then said: "I'm going to go, I'm afraid I'll be back at night, I'll go and bring some dry food."

   "We brought it!" The brothers said in unison!

  Yu Wan turned her head blankly and glanced at the two who had reacted violently: "Oh."

  Xu realized that he had overreacted, Yu Feng cleared his throat embarrassedly, and said, "Today... Let's eat at my house, my mother said she cooks."

   "Okay." Yu Wan smiled and did not refuse.

   The pig's trotters bought yesterday have not been eaten yet, and have been smoking on the stove. Before going out, she sent the pig's trotters, five eggs and two plump pheasants to the old house.

   The uncle's family used to keep chickens, and later sold the last old hen to raise money for the uncle's medicine.

   "Give it to me."

  The aunt was sitting in the backyard peeling the dried corn cobs. The uncle walked over with a cane, grabbed a handful of corn kernels, and walked to the chicken coop.

  The aunt was unhappy: "What are you doing? You use this to feed the chickens with vegetable leaves! People can't get enough to eat!"

Uncle    smiled and said: "Didn't you hear what Awan said? It's a chicken that lays eggs."

Is    a chicken? The one who delivered the chicken, right? The aunt rolled her eyes and went to the stove with the dustpan.

   I can't be bothered with this person!

   After feeding the pheasants, the uncle limped up, took the kitchen knife from her hand, and said to her, "I'll come."

  The aunt looked at him like she had seen a ghost!

Uncle    ignored her surprise, put down his cane, and went to chop vegetables happily.

   The aunt looked at his busy and happy figure, and for a while, she couldn't come back to her senses.

   "Isn't she just a girl? You deserve to be so happy?" The eldest aunt murmured in a choked voice, turned around, and wiped her red eyes.

   What did the uncle do before, can you guess it?
