Chapter 12 Little Chicken

When Zhang Yunniang took Niuniu out, Chen Chunhua was still shouting and talking, blaming Father Gu for bringing these chickens home.

These chicks were not normal healthy chicks.

In almost every round of hatched chicks, there are always a few weak chicks. Because these chicks are difficult to feed, they will not be brought to the market by the chicken sellers, but will be processed in advance. dropped.

I don’t know where Father Gu got these sickly chickens.

Father Gu didn't pay attention to his eldest daughter-in-law's weirdness. Instead, he held the six chicks and looked at them again and again, with an expectant look like he was looking at the rising sun.

When he saw Niuniu coming out to watch the fun, Father Gu waved to the little girl.

Niuniu ran over immediately. She really liked this grandpa. Food was so precious. Those who could secretly give her snacks were the best elders in the world in her opinion.

"Has Niuniu ever raised chickens?" Father Gu asked with a smile.

Niu Niu shook her head, but replied crisply: "I have raised big chickens before. Grandma Zhang raised more than a dozen chickens in my last home. I dug wild vegetables and raised them!"

When Zhang Yuniang heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable. Raising a dozen chickens requires a lot of food, and a five-year-old girl actually pulls weeds every day.

She carefully recalled the brats at home who were still running wild when they were five years old.

Father Gu is old and a bit foolish. He didn't think much about it after hearing this. Instead, he praised: "Okay, okay, our Niuniu is the most powerful!"

When Niu Niu heard this compliment, her little breasts suddenly puffed up.

Dad Gu added: "Niuniu helped grandpa to raise these six chickens and laid eggs for Niuniu to make steamed eggs. When she gets old, she will make chicken soup for Niuniu to drink. I'll give them all to you, okay?"

Although Chen Chunhua felt that these chickens could not be kept alive, she became anxious when she heard this and said, "Why are these chickens raised only for Niuniu to eat? Are those in my family not your grandchildren?" Even if the child looks exactly like the sister-in-law who died long ago, she is not hers. Dad, don’t be too partial!"

She originally wanted to complain, but she didn't expect that it actually triggered hysteria in Dad Gu.

"Nanny, my daughter is not dead! She is still fine!" Dad Gu held his head and yelled, constantly pulling his hair, looking like he was in extreme pain.

As soon as Mrs. Gu came out, she saw that her man was going crazy. She immediately rushed to him in three steps and two steps, and said, "Master, isn't my daughter here well? What nonsense are you talking about?"

With that said, Mrs. Gu pulled Niuniu to Father Gu.

Although Niuniu was very scared, she still grabbed her grandfather's hand and said softly: "I...I'm here..."

Under the little girl's soft whispers, the old man's mood barely stabilized, at least he didn't continue to pull his hair.

Mrs. Gu looked at the gray hair falling on the ground and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She said, "Why do you keep pulling your hair out? How many hairs do you have to pull! Your brain is almost like a monk's!"

Listening to his wife's scolding, Father Gu looked at her apologetically and said, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, old lady."

Whenever Father Gu showed such an expression as if a child had made a mistake, Mrs. Gu had nothing to do with him. She also felt sorry for the man who had been so sick these years that he couldn't bear to blame him.

Mrs. Gu was cutting vegetables in the kitchen earlier and didn't hear what happened outside.

Chen Chunhua said in a low voice: "Mom, please take care of Dad. He insists on bringing back these dying chickens to raise. No one is allowed to let it go. He also said that after they are raised, these chickens and eggs will only be eaten by Niu Niu. You Talk about..."

Mrs. Gu seemed to be remembering something from the past. After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What your father says is whatever it is. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Chen Chunhua was so anxious that she jumped up and said, "Mom, why don't you have anything to do with me? Didn't you use your family's money to buy these chicks? Didn't these chicks feed you home-grown vegetables? Our family's chaff?"

Mrs. Gu said very definitely: "The old man will not feed the chickens with vegetables at home."

Dad Gu waved his hand and said: "Lao Gou Zhang gave me the little chicken. He said that the little chicken was going to die of illness. No money... no money..."

After Chen Chunhua heard these explanations, she was still thinking: "But we can't let Niuniu eat alone!"

Mrs. Gu glared at her and said, "If you are really so anxious to be the leader, in the worst case, I will separate you into a separate family?"

When Chen Chunhua heard that she would be driven back to her parents' home, she didn't dare to be harsh on the spot. She could only whisper in a low voice: "This little girl has such a good life. She loves her so much..."

Mrs. Gu just looks serious, but she is actually fair and rarely shows any particular preference for any of her sons. As long as she is not provoked, she is not the kind of mother-in-law who would make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

Compared with other unruly old ladies in the village, Lao Gu's family is already living a life of gods.

If we really want to talk about preference, now Chen Chunhua has also seen that the old couple's favorite is their sister-in-law who died young, and now she has given all this preference to Niu Niu.

Chen Chunhua glanced at her daughter Gu Daya angrily and said reproachfully: "Why are you so unpleasant? How come these good things don't happen to you? If they were given to you, our eldest family could still follow suit." Take advantage of it!”

If it were the little girl next to her, she would definitely be hostile to Niu Niu when she heard this, but Gu Daya was also very supportive. After Niu Niu brought her brothers and sisters to help her make a sand table, Gu Daya already recognized Niu Niu in her heart. This is my sister.

Gu Daya felt that how could a sister care about these things with her sister? Not only that, she also said with a little pride: "Of course, my sister is lovable!"

Chen Chunhua laughed angrily at her daughter on the spot, stretched out her hand and pinched Gu Daya's ears: "You child, you are not obedient at all!"

Gu Daya was beaten in public for the second time today. Before she could call out, Mrs. Gu said with a sullen face: "Old man, what are you talking about here? The good relationship between their cousins ​​is an eyesore for you. You will be happy if the whole family is in disarray every day, why did our old Gu family find such a troublemaker like you back here!"

Chen Chunhua quickly let go and opened her mouth to explain a few words, but Mrs. Gu ignored her and assigned her several jobs so that Chen Chunhua had no time to fight cats and dogs.

Dad Gu took Niu Niu's hand back to the backyard, took out a basket made of reeds, put a layer of straw on it, and explained to Niu Niu: "The weather is cold, and chickens can't stand it just like people." freeze……"

Niu Niu nodded vigorously, completely in a learning attitude. When she was in the Zhang family, Mrs. Cai was afraid that Niu Niu would raise the chicks to death. She had always taken care of the chicks when they were young, so Niu Niu had no experience in raising chicks.

Father Gu stretched out his hand like a dead branch, gently patted Niu Niu's little head, and said: "We Niu Niu can't suffer from the cold... We need to wear a lot of clothes..."
