After the two of them had breakfast, Song Linyuan went out to play with his friends, and she stayed at home to make clothes.

All the cuts are done, and now only need to be sewn, and a day is enough to make four or five clothes.

In the middle of the morning, someone came to my house.

I heard the sound and went out and saw the old lady next door.

"Second grandma, why are you here?" Although he was a neighbor, he was separated by two dilapidated houses. Just because the two families next door were old widowed and died one after another, naturally no one lived in the houses in the village.

The two houses in the middle of the two houses are thatched huts. They have not lived in a few years. Most of the roofs have collapsed. The yard is overgrown with weeds, and the locks on the door have been rusted.

My second grandma is old, and she has one of her front teeth and her speech is a bit leaky.

"I hatched the chicks at home myself. Do you want them?" she asked with a smile.

Song Xingchen naturally wanted to raise a few, "Yes, my chickens and ducks are gone, so I must raise some. How many are there in my second grandma's house?"

The old lady raised her hand and greeted her, "It's not much. This time she put twenty eggs and hatched twelve."

She was a woman from the old era, wrapped her feet and walked slowly and shaking slowly. Song Xingchen supported the old man's arm and came to each other's house with her. Before she could enter the door, she heard soft chirping sounds.

"When it was hatched, two died, and only twelve were left." The old man didn't care much about the quantifiers, and basically they were just talking about it casually.

Song Xingchen did not correct it even after hearing this. This is not a matter of principle. If the old man doesn’t take the exam, he may even stay in Xiahe Village until he dies. There is no need to worry about these things.

The old man lives in a relatively old house, but the area is quite large, with six rooms on the left and right.

The old lady has two sons under her knees. The eldest son and his wife followed the Zhao family to work in the past two years and rarely come back a year.

The youngest son married into the next county many years ago, and it was even harder to see.

These days, marriage into a family has been criticized, but his youngest son is attracted by that girl.

The second daughter-in-law has only one girl in her family. She was injured when the other mother gave birth to her second child and she could not get pregnant.

Nowadays, divorce is not popular, especially in the countryside. No matter how hard you are, how much you suffer from the in-laws' family, as long as you don't die, there is basically no divorce. It is because of this that Xu Cuilan had a big fight with Zhang Caifeng because her daughter was driven back. You should know that the relationship between the two sisters-in-law before was great.

Since you can't give birth to a son, you can only recruit a son-in-law.

The second grandmother's youngest son is also a high school student. She is not very good at studying. After graduation, she found a job in the county.

He and his wife are colleagues, and they are in love freely because the girl is pretty and her youngest son is so fond of her. At first, he heard that he wanted to marry into a marriage, but in fact he was not very happy. However, if he didn't marry into a marriage, the girl would not be with him and finally moved away in a mess.

After getting married, I almost broke off contact with my second grandmother. Fortunately, I still have a grandson under my knees, who is sensible and considerate, so the old lady has recovered.

Now his grandson is in high school in the county and will take the college entrance examination next year. I heard that his studies are very good, but I can't guarantee my undergraduate degree, but I still have no problem with junior college.

Even if you are a junior college student, you are still a college student. Xiahe Village has never had a college student. You have to know that the college entrance examination has been resuming almost ten years.

In the two years after the college entrance examination resumed, I went out with a few college students, but all of them were educated youth.

In the paper box on the kang, twelve little chickens snuggled up and curled up together. You can see some small yellow rice beside them. After hearing the movement, they chirped, their voices were cute and cute.

"Second grandma, how much does one cost?"

The old lady asked with a smile: "One or two, how many do you want?"

To be honest, this price is very cheap. The chickens sold in the market cost 400 cents. It costs six or seven yuan to buy a big rooster or an old hen. There are basically big roosters on the market, and the old hens keep them and lay eggs to eat.

"You have worked hard for so many days, but one cent or two is too cheap, right?" It takes almost twenty days for the chickens to hatch. After working for a month, you can only earn more than one yuan and lose money to gain publicity.

Raising chickens in rural areas is not difficult. Most villagers will keep them free. Some children in the village pick up eggs, but it is rare to steal chickens.

When they are released during the day, they can find food by themselves and come back in a rush tonight.

The old lady smiled, "Your uncle and aunt give money to the family every month. I, an old woman, can't spend much. If you hatch chickens, you can just give them everything you want. I will hatch them again if you have time."

"That won't let you suffer a loss." Song Xingchen pointed out four dollars in his arms and stuffed them into the old lady's hand. "You are still young, I'll give you four dollars. In this way, neither of us will suffer a loss. Even if we go to the market to buy eggs, that one will cost about 15 cents. Twenty eggs cost three dollars, and one cent, two cents and one cent, and you will lose a lot."

The old lady really doesn't lack money. She just lives alone in the village, and she is so idle. However, after hearing what Song Xingchen said, she did not refuse and took it with a smile.

"Then you take them all away. If you want chickens, ducks and geese in the future, just tell me that my second grandma will help you hatch." She has been doing this craft for a few years, and can basically guarantee a hatching rate of 70% to 80% and a survival rate of 60% to 70%. When I was eating big pot meals in the early years, many people in the village would come to ask the old lady to help hatch eggs.

"Thank you first." He stepped forward and held the cardboard box in his arms, and saw the tender yellow little chickens, which were really cute.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, she took the little chickens home and placed them on the kang first. They are still too small and it is difficult to survive outside. They need to stay on the warm kang for ten days and half a month.

There are ready-made chicken pens at home. Because of the black veins, they are destined to be unable to be stocked in the yard. Maybe they will be burping in less than a day.

In the Zhang family's big house, the whole family gathered together to discuss Zhang Cuiying's problem.

The whole family, except for Zhang Cuiying herself, everyone else hopes that she can find someone else to live.

Zhang Cuiying felt distressed. She thought that as long as her family went to the provincial capital together to talk, she could still go back. Even if it was not for herself, but for her two sons, she might be able to remarry.
