Chapter 9: The Duck's Egg

A few wild duck eggs were being cooked in the pot, which were the wild duck eggs Wen Hong picked up yesterday.

Xia Zhu had been around the stove for a long time, and she had already surrounded her when she put the wild duck eggs into the pot to cook. Although Xia Zhu knew that she was really embarrassed, she was really greedy and too lazy to pretend. She looked like this when she was greedy. Xia Zhu thought that when she had not separated before, the nanny had no portion of her eggs when she cooked eggs. Since she knew that every portion she had, she didn't think so much about it.

Xia Zhu now saw that there might be half of the wild duck egg in the pot, and to be precise, half of it must be. He couldn't wait in his heart. It was not easy since he waited last night.

"Mom, the wild duck eggs are floating up." Xia Zhu was small and stared at the wild duck eggs in the pot, and was also very tired. Xia Zhu was wondering if she should move a small stool to sit and wait.

"Little Zhuzi, go see how greedy you are. Mom is hungry, ah?" Lu Shi was sad. His little daughter never asked for anything from him. Lu Shi also indulged Xia Zhu's greedy appearance.

"Mom, no, I've eaten the porridge. I just want to wait for the wild duck eggs to be cooked." Xia Zhu also knew that his words were inconvincing, but because he was small, he was afraid of what he was afraid of!

Seeing that the wild duck eggs had been boiling for a while, Lu quickly took out the five wild duck eggs. This was found by Wen Hong for more than an hour, and I don’t know how many reeds he had turned over. It has to be said that Wen Hong was lucky, and it would be great if he could get one or two back.

The Lü family divided four children and one egg, leaving one for Tang Dahai to come back and eat.

"Mom, aren't you gone? I'll give you my one. I've had porridge and I'm not hungry." Wenhong said sensibly, handing the wild duck egg in his hand to Lü.

"Don't I have drunk the porridge too? I have a wild duck egg. You can go out for a while after eating it." Lu Shi shook her head and refused.

Xia Zhu skillfully pulled away the eggshell and saw Wen Hong handing the wild duck egg to Lu's family. Xia Zhu knew that Lu's family was reluctant to eat the last egg.

"Mom, eat mine, let's eat together." Although Xia Zhu was greedy, she was still happy to eat with her mother who always loved her.

"Oh, our little greedy cat is willing to give it to your mother?"

Mrs. Lu opened her mouth wide, took a small bite of the egg white, and then returned Xia Zhu's hand and asked her to eat it by herself. The others also wanted to give it to Mrs. Lu, but they still couldn't act coquettishly towards her mother like Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu felt that she could not eat eggs anymore. It took so long since she had eaten them. She couldn't remember them. She gently bit the egg white. The egg white was slightly harder than the egg white, and it was even more q. The egg yolk was so big... um... delicious.

Seeing that the few people were idle at home without any trouble, Lu hurried out. Chunlan was not that happy anymore, and she still had to learn needlework with Lu.

"Brother, let's go quickly. Let's see if the small wooden boat is still there." As soon as Xia Zhu left the hospital, she couldn't help but urge Wen Hong to hurry up, and the fragrance of the boiled egg was clattered in her mouth.

"Yes, brother, hurry up, I don't know if it's still there." Wenyou thought for a night, but just felt like he was dreaming.

"I understand, you read it right, how could there be a small wooden boat here? There is not a single one in our village, and it is impossible for the neighboring village to be placed in our village. People can keep it with treasures. Don't you read it wrong." Wen Hong heard his younger brother say that he found a small wooden boat, but he thought he was not awake in his dream.

"Brother! You think that my brother and I have such a bad look, and we are not as young as 70 years old, why would you read it wrong? What's more, such a big ship, you can still look wrong!" Wen You bit her back, and she was only two years younger than her brother. She really thought she looked down on someone shorter.

"Okay, it's my brother who was wrong. Let's go and have a look. If it's really like what you said, we have to think about what to do."

"Brother, I've agreed. Don't tell anyone else, and my parents can't say it!"

"Little sister, why do you still have to hide it from your parents?" Wen Hong frowned repeatedly, with disagreement on his face.

"Brother, I don't want my parents to make things difficult for me. Do you think, my father has my parents, my parents, my parents, my parents, my parents, my parents, my parents, my parents, my parents, and my parents, and my parents, and a lot of relatives. Who will I give to this boat? Who will I use it for? We don't want my parents to make things difficult for me. That's called filial piety." Wenhong also made a fool of himself with Xia Zhu.

"Okay, don't fool my brother. Our family can't eat enough and don't wear warm clothes. Anyway, you discovered it, so I'll help you. You have a big idea and just discuss it. Just tell me when the time comes."

"Hehe, brother, you are becoming more and more like a big brother. Xiao Zhuzi likes his big brother the most." Xia Zhuma kept flattering, which made Wen You roll his eyes.

"Okay, I'll remind you, sister, what she doesn't say, be careful that she will get angry if she knows it in the future. If you bear it, it's okay not to say it."

Wenyou and Xia Zhu both trembled coldly. They remembered the eldest sister's repairs for several consecutive days, and their calves were trembling. Why did they forget this? They thought that they would go home later and tell the eldest sister immediately, and try to get leniency.

"Brother, it's here. If you push away the reeds here, you can see the small wooden boat. Fortunately, it's far away from the village, so there won't be too many people here every day." Xia Zhu thought about her elder sister, and her mood was not so high. It's all because of her elder brother's fault for scaring them, and lazily instructing her elder brother to do things and relieve their resentment.

Wen Hong heard this and pushed a bunch of reeds in front of him, vaguely swaying the shadow of the small wooden boat. He quickly accelerated the force on his hands and opened a handful, revealing the entire small wooden boat. It was not brand new, but it didn't look like it had been used for many years. The hull was about two meters long, extremely small, just like a custom made for this reed marsh.

"Brother, you have a small wooden boat, and my younger sister and I have eyes." Wenyou looked resentful and was very unhappy. My brother suspected that they were confused. Although they were a little bit smaller, the eyes still work regardless of age. Maybe it would be better.

"Okay, brother knows that he is wrong, don't worry. You should think about what to do. But this wooden boat must be placed here by someone else, and it is impossible for him to float here."

"We didn't think about taking it for ourselves. This is immoral. We just want to borrow it, right, little sister."

Wenyou winked at Xia Zhu, thinking that her younger sister was so smart that she should be able to persuade her elder brother. Xia Zhu was really cheering for her second brother's high-level performance. Thinking about how much she lived, she was still not as good as her, and she was a little disappointed.

"That's to be cut, brother, we usually maintain this small wooden boat. If it is found by others, it may not be returned to it. After all, it was picked up, right?"

"No, the ones I picked up were from someone else's house. How could the owner not return it?" Wen Hong said hurriedly.

"Brother, I'm not saying that we are. Our family must pay it back. Not only will we have to pay it back, but we also need to maintain it. If we make money from this small wooden boat, we will also share it with the owner. Our family cannot do ungrateful things, but we cannot do things that are not done by humans. You said right, brother?"

"That's the reason, brother, you said that most of our villages are good, but there are always a few crooked dates. When our family picked up this small wooden boat, they have to keep it properly and give it to the owner. Besides, if we really use this small wooden boat, we will not only calculate the wages for the owner, but also share the money earned to the owner. Our family just needs to overcome this hurdle."

"Okay, you don't have to surround me and persuade me like this. I know what you mean. I just think it's not easy to deal with if the master comes here. If he is a person who is unreasonable, our family will be in trouble and he will have to sue if he doesn't do it well. This is all based on the master's words. At that time, I can't live such a life now."

"Well, brother, we know. But brother, isn't there any way to do this? We don't want to do it either, but we just want to make a better life at home. Dad doesn't have to work so hard, and mom doesn't have to worry so much. Sister can say that it's so good to have a family, and brother, you can go to school. We just think so much." Wenyou said softly, feeling depressed.

"Brother, let's just have fun during the day to try to drive the small wooden boat first, okay? At most, we children are naughty, just don't let their parents know. OK?" Xia Zhu thought that no one could sail the boat anyway, so she had to learn to use oars to control the small wooden boat, otherwise everything would be useless, and it would be difficult to sue.

"Brother, second brother, please try it. I looked at the bow and stern of this small wooden boat, so I could only sit down just one person. Do you want to try it?"

"Brother, why don't we practice first?" Wenyou encouraged the eldest brother. After all, relying on him and his younger sister, he was weak and it was not reliable to do anything. He still thought that the future would be more harmonious, and he would starve to death.

Because he was worried that the owner of the small wooden boat would come to find him, Wen Hong and others tried to drive the boat during the day, wandering around the nearby reed marsh, and did not dare to go far. So, the operation was becoming more and more skillful. He wanted to go east and never go west, but he still couldn't reach the place he thought of and lingered in a tortuous way.
