Chapter 83 Raising Ducks, Raising Many Ducks(1/2)
It was already past 6 o'clock in the evening when the Ye family returned home.
Ye Huai prepared meals at home and waited for them to come back.
Everything at home was also taken care of in order by him.
"Brother, let's come back!" Ye Xiaojin smiled and ran into the house.
She was also holding a cage in her hand, "Come and see what good things we bought?"
Ye Huai hurriedly filled the meal, "Are you hungry along the way? Hurry up and eat."
Everyone sat down at the dinner table.
Ye Xiaojin acted coquettishly: "Brother hasn't seen the good things I bought yet."
Ye Huai couldn't help but laugh: "I can hear the quacking sound of your duck from a long distance away."
"There are probably 20 ducks in your cage, right?"
Ye Xiaojin stuck out her tongue: "There are 20 of them. I will make a duck coop for the little ducks tomorrow."
"Otherwise the little ducks will have no place to sleep."
Ye Zhiping said: "Don't worry, I'll do it at noon tomorrow, and I can do it for a while after dinner in the afternoon."
"Wait a minute, I will pull the bamboo over and put it next to the chicken coop."
"Promise to do it tomorrow."
Ye Huai spoke quickly, "Dad, let me do it. Tomorrow is Saturday."
"You can go to work on the team in peace, while I build the duck coop at home."
"I'm about to go weeding the sweet potatoes too."
Ye Zhiping thought so and patted Ye Huai on the shoulder, "Our third son is very capable, so I'll leave it to you."
Ye Huai smiled a little shyly.
There are two dishes on the table.
A stir-fried sesame bamboo shoot with chili, and a stir-fried loach.
Solar miner's lamp lights up the kitchen.
Recently, Ye Xiaojin got two more flashlights and put the miner's lamp in the kitchen for use.
The flashlight doesn't really look like much here, but it's very useful.
Li Cuicui took out the money from her pocket and said, "We made 16 yuan today."
"Including someone who ordered 10 kilograms of strawberries and gave a deposit of 2 yuan, the total is 18 yuan."
"It cost 3 yuan to buy the duck, plus expenses and medicine...the remaining 14 yuan is 5."
Li Cuicui was still very happy.
She thought about it, "These strawberries are quite profitable, and they grow very fast. I've seen about 20 pounds of fruit in two days."
"Just give me those 10 pounds, and I can sell some more."
"We won't all go then."
Ye Xiaojin smiled and said, "Okay, mom, our family will get rich sooner or later."
The whole family was amused by her.
Ye Xiaojin's rich system will definitely supervise her getting rich.
This is beyond doubt.
Ye Huai smiled and asked, "How is Jinbao's illness? Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup?"
"The doctor said it was pneumonia, but it was moderate." Li Cuicui said, "I was told by the village doctor that it was moderate."
"I don't know if the diagnosis was wrong before or if the condition has improved."
"I'll prescribe the medicine first, and I'll go check it out in a few days."
Ye Huai breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope Jinbao's illness will get better soon."
Otherwise, this matter will always be weighing on everyone's heart.
"Oh, you don't have to worry, my illness will be cured soon."
"It was the gods who told me."
She took her chopsticks and took a mouthful of rice: "Besides, I am so healthy and can still work, how can I be a sick person?"
"I was very fragile before, but not anymore."
Li Cuicui brought her some vegetables, "Eat more to be healthier."
On Saturday morning, Ye Xiaojin went to the orchard with her father again.
Li Cuicui went to the chicken farm as usual.
In the morning, Ye Huai pulled the bamboo to the side of the chicken coop and cleared the weeds under the persimmon tree.
He took a knife and cut open the bamboo and began to make a duck coop like a chicken coop.
People around me are either "chi-chi-chi" or "quack-quack".
Coupled with the chirping of insects and birds, it was very lively.
Ye Huai looked at the little duck and couldn't help but laugh, "With so many chickens and ducks, life will get better and better."
He looked away and continued to break the bamboo pieces.
By noon the model had begun to take shape, and at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the top was covered with thatch and it was complete.
He had lunch and went to the mountains to weed with his hoe.
Ye Xiaojin noticed many fat and tender weeds in the orchard, which needed to be cleared away.
Ye Xiaojin said to Ye Zhiping: "Dad, let's take all this grass home and I will use it to make duck food."
Ye Zhiping nodded: "Then I will bring the bamboo basket back later."
night.
The little ducks lived in a duck house covered with tender grass.
Everyone was so hungry.
Ye Xiaojin took out the fortified duck feed from the system and made duck food.
The little ducks got the duck food and ate it happily.
"Quack quack"
Ye Huai came over to help, "Jinbao, you duck food..."
"It's pretty good, isn't it?" Ye Xiaojin happily patted the railing of the duck house, "We can eat ducks in 40 days."
Ye Huai pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, Jinbao will eat big duck legs then."
He said and touched Ye Xiaojin's head.
"Go back to the house quickly and get some honey water for you to drink to moisten your throat."
Ye Xiaojin was held by Ye Huai's hand and walked back.
As she walked, she told her brother about her breeding plan.
Ye Huai didn't mind her being noisy and listened to her patiently.
He looked at his sister's profile and felt...
It would be great if my sister could always be so happy.
He will work hard to get into a good school and take his sister to the city to live a good life.
Two or three days passed.
Ye Zhiping went to the city to sell strawberries alone, although his legs and feet were not very convenient.
But fortunately, it has recovered a lot.
If one person spends less money, other people in the family will not miss work.
Ye Xiaojin woke up in the morning and heard a knock on the door.
She saw Zhou Wenrui at the door and rubbed her eyes, "What's wrong? Ruibao?"
Zhou Wenrui seemed to be in a bad mood.
He held Ye Xiaojin's hand, the ends of his eyes were a little red, and he looked quite fragile.
"Jinbao, I..."
"Come on, don't be sad." Ye Xiaojin patted his hand, "Why are you being polite to me?"
Zhou Wenrui lowered his head and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "The little ducks I raised for you are all sick..."
