Chapter 28 The duck is gone
Author: Qi Liang Broken Silver
Da Ya was so shocked that she was still thinking about it all the way back.
Can such a big duck be picked up?
There was obviously no sound in the grass just now. How did Sanya touch and catch this little duck?
Cheng Miaomiao happily hugged the little teal duck and felt it trembling. She also touched its furry head and comforted: "Don't worry, we won't eat you now. We will eat you when you grow older."
Although it is actually a bird, it looks like a duck, so it is now a duck!
Until they got close to the Tan Bian, Cheng Miaomiao took Daya's hand, who was still distracted, and ran over, shouting happily: "Auntie, Auntie! I picked up a little duck, we are going to have a duck at home!"
Ye Ning: "...?"
After hearing her flawless and outrageous words, Ye Ning couldn't help but raise her forehead and asked seriously: "Where did the duck come from?"
Cheng Miaomiao looked at her innocently with those dark eyes.
"It was hiding in the grass and sleeping. I could see it right away while squatting there. Then I put my hands on its back, and it immediately lay down obediently. This is such a well-behaved duck."
She praised a catfish that was mistaken for a duck without hesitation.
Ye Ning's mouth twitched, trying to ignore the irrationality.
After checking the duck, we found that it didn't seem to be aggressive, so we just used the remaining straw rope to tie its wings and feet. In order to prevent it from biting people, we also tied its beak.
Several children squatted together, eyes full of envy.
Maodan praised: "Sister Sanya, this duck you picked up is so beautiful!"
Erya stretched out her fingers to touch the little teal duck's back with some fear, then quickly retracted her fingers, reluctant to let go, and said slowly: "It's so easy to touch."
The dog's balls were dripping with laughter and he said: "Duck meat! It's delicious!"
Cheng Miaomiao smiled so hard that her eyes turned into crescent moons. She raised her chin generously and promised her sister and brother grandly: "When the ducks grow up, they will be cooked and eaten, and we will eat them together!"
Sanya always keeps her word.
The children immediately cheered.
The little green duck shivered: "..."
Ye Ning followed them around and made a fuss around the duckling, then strung the remaining fish gills with straw ropes and put them into the backpack together, then tied the straps again, and then called them back.
Home.
…
I came back early today.
Many villagers who had just returned from walking in the fields noticed the little teal duck in Cheng Miaomiao's hand.
It is true that he is very good-looking.
In addition, Cheng Miaomiao is cute and cute, with lively eyebrows and bright, clear black eyes, which makes people happy just to look at her.
Everyone who sees her will step forward and touch the red tail feathers of the little teal duck, then touch Cheng Miaomiao's little head, and when they meet her bright eyes, they will also say a few words of praise, "Wow, Sanya is so lucky."
, this duck is so beautiful.
Cheng Miaomiao was so happy that her tail was raised so high.
After they left, some villagers couldn't help but said: "Don't tell me, these three girls are really lucky. They picked up something on the mountain every three days. Last time it was a nest of eggs, and this time it was a duck."
"No matter how lucky the old Cheng family is, they can't stop it."
"I heard they sold the eggs they picked up that time for more than thirty cents! Just eleven or two!"
Someone said in surprise: "Didn't Aunt Zhao say that the person picking up eggs is a pillar? Why do you think it's Sanya again?"
"Hahaha, you believe what Mrs. Zhao said. She also said that the tofu that day was bought by Zhuzhu! The tofu seller, Uncle Wang, said that Sanya bought it for her. Don't listen to Mrs. Zhao's nonsense."
The man sighed: "I didn't expect things to be like this."
None of the Cheng family knew what the villagers were talking about.
When Cheng Miaomiao and the others arrived home, they happened to see Cheng Xiaomei filling the family's dirty clothes in a wooden basin and preparing to go to the river to wash clothes. When she saw Ye Ning, she was stunned and whispered: "Second sister-in-law."
Ye Ning smiled and said: "Little sister, don't go to the river yet, help us take care of the fish first."
Cheng Xiaomei was a little confused: "Where did the fish come from?"
When she saw most of the fish in the basket, her eyes widened with fright. She quickly went to the wooden basin and put it on the ground. Then she went to help Ye Ning unload the basket and shouted towards the kitchen: "Mom, third sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law."
, come and help!”
"Coming, coming!"
"What are you yelling about so early in the morning? It's just a lot of work for you to wash clothes. You're too lazy to do it."
Mrs. Zhao and the others are making vegetable cakes in the kitchen.
After hearing this, she walked to the door impatiently and took a look. She found that it was Ye Ning and the others who had come back from the mountain. Cheng Xiaomei picked up a fish strung on a straw rope. She was so surprised that her face turned red: "Mom, Second Sister-in-law and the others caught them."
Here comes the fish!”
The three people were shocked: "???"
"Such a big fish?!"
This fish looks like it weighs several kilograms.
Meng was startled, quickly wiped her hands and walked over there quickly.
The fish can barely be regarded as a meat dish. Mrs. Zhao was suddenly surprised and happy, and she said reluctantly: "Isn't it just a fish? What's all the fuss about? I don't know."
Cheng Miaomiao said loudly: "It's not just one fish, it's many, many fish!"
Mrs. Zhao curled her lips and said with disdain: "How many can there be..." She stopped abruptly before she could finish her words, as if someone had strangled her throat, and she looked at the basket full of big fish in shock.
"Oh my God."
When Meng and Xiao Zhou saw this scene, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.
Their reactions satisfied Cheng Miaomiao's mood very well. She raised the little teal duck in her hand like a show off and said, "This is the little duck I picked up on the mountain! I picked it up with the fish!"
The little duck with green fur and red tail feathers looks very small and beautiful.
Cheng Xiaomei couldn't help but touch it and praised: "Sanya is really amazing. This duck is so beautiful. It will definitely become more beautiful when it is raised."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were glued to the basket of fish.
I stretched out my fingers and counted them one by one, and found a total of twenty fish. A total of twenty fish! Each fish weighed at least two kilograms. Even if you eat one fish a day, you can last for twenty days!
She immediately agreed and said: "Today we will eat fish!"
These fish had just had their gills skewered but were still alive. It just so happened that the Cheng family had a large tank filled with water at home, so they simply kept the fish in the large tank and fished one out whenever they wanted to eat.
Mrs. Zhao's attitude towards Ye Ning was rare and pleasant.
Cheng Miaomiao held the duck and thought about it for a long time, but had no idea where to put it. Finally, Ye Ning gave her a suggestion, just put it next to the chicken coop in the front yard and build a small nest with hay for it.
Several children immediately enthusiastically found grass to make a nest for the ducklings.
If you live here, you can usually see it as soon as you enter the door. Cheng Miaomiao is very satisfied with this location!
Cheng Erlang and the others came back at noon. They smelled a fragrant and delicious smell of meat before they entered the house. They almost thought they had entered the wrong house. When they entered the kitchen, they discovered that there was fish on the table today!
Knowing that Ye Ning had brought it back, Old Man Cheng also gave her a rare smile.
Hearing that she had found a waterhole on the Xiaohuai Mountain side, Cheng Erlang said: "Dad, I'll go down and go with Aning again to see if we can catch some fish and chop some bamboo to make baskets."
The fish this time was fresh and tender, and it tasted amazing after being simmered with Sichuan peppercorns.
It's so delicious that your tongue will fall off.
Cheng Miaomiao quickly raised his head from his rice bowl: "I want to go too!"
Ye Ning quickly picked up another fish fillet for her with chopsticks and said with a smile: "You are still young. It will be too hot in the afternoon. You can just sleep at home."
After saying that, he felt that it might go in one ear and out the other, so he added: "It just so happens that the little duck needs to adapt to the environment. You can take the duck outside to find some food to prevent it from starving to death."
"Oh, okay then."
Cheng Miaomiao reluctantly accepted this statement.
After lunch, she went to the backyard to check on the myrtle. The tree had begun to bear small fruits. Thinking that she would be able to eat sweet and sour fruits soon, she even dreamed about it during her nap.
It's sweet.
When Cheng Miaomiao woke up, as soon as she went out, she saw that there were no ducklings in the duck nest she had made in the morning.
There were mixed green and red fur scattered on the ground.
She was stunned on the spot for a moment.
While he was in a daze, Cheng Wulang's careless voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Hey Sanya, you're awake. Come on, there's just a piece of duck meat left for you. Just call me and I'll give it to you, hahaha."
