Chapter 66: Raising Chickens and Ducks to Make a Living

"Ugh, that's disgusting, it's all in my mouth!"

When He Daqing was concentrating on the harvest in the space manor, Qin Huairu's complaining words instantly woke He Daqing up.

Looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, He Daqing felt satisfied.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow!"

My wife is so kind.

Even when she was pregnant, she was still thinking about herself.

If you don’t love such a good wife, who will?

And at the same time.

Yi Zhonghai, who was in the east room of the central courtyard, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He didn't think much of it before, but ever since he was nourished by He Daqing, he often got angry.

But Tao Huilan was pregnant, so he couldn't do anything.

"Well, it looks like I have to work hard tomorrow. I won't think about anything else when I'm tired."

"It's this kid Dongxu who is more active than me all day long. Really..."

In the dark night, Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly.

When I didn’t have a child, I was worried and distressed. I didn’t expect that after getting pregnant, I would still have this kind of trouble. However, when I think that I will have children, this little hardship seems nothing.

As for Westinghouse.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu looked like a lost soul all day long, Jia Zhangshi and Xu Youliang completely gave up the idea of ​​returning to the slum and continued to live there.

Anyway, the New Year is coming soon, so it’s nice to live here.

"Dongxu, your uncle Xu's friend introduced a girl to you. Do you want to meet her tomorrow?"

In the darkness, Jia Zhang turned and said to her son.

It's not a big deal if Jia Dongxu is like this all day long.

Perhaps this problem can be solved only by introducing another girl.

However, the response she received was silence.

Jia Zhang, "..."

She couldn't help but push Xu Youliang, but Xu Youliang patted her shoulder.

"Give Dongxu some more time. Dongxu is so young. Take your time!"

Yes, I was single for more than 30 years before I got married, and it was my second marriage. How old is Jia Dongxu? Why is he in such a hurry?

Moreover, Xu Youliang discovered that this courtyard was much more comfortable to live in than his own slum.

If Jia Dongxu had a partner, wouldn't they have to move back to the slum?

No rush, really no rush at all.

Moreover, he also liked the feeling of three people lying in one room, which was particularly... exciting...

the next day.

He Daqing got up early and took out a few eggs from the space manor. He broke them, put chopped green onions in them, and stir-fried them in a pan. The simple scrambled eggs were ready.

"Hey, this egg smells so good!"

Qin Huairu, who had just woken up, was instantly attracted by the fragrance of the eggs.

"Try it!"

He Daqing grinned and handed the fried eggs to Qin Huairu.

These are eggs laid in the Space Manor. They taste indeed different from ordinary eggs. You can’t tell what’s different with the naked eye, but they smell and taste delicious.

Sure enough, after Qin Huairu took a bite, she ate up the remaining scrambled eggs in no time.

"Daqing, your cooking skills are amazing!"

Qin Huairu gave He Daqing a thumbs up.

"This is the first time I've eaten such delicious eggs since I was a child. You are worthy of being a great chef!"

Qin Huairu was born in the countryside and had eaten fried eggs countless times, but for some reason, the eggs fried by He Daqing were particularly delicious, even more fragrant than meat.

She thought that He Daqing's cooking skills were amazing, and she kept praising He Daqing's cooking skills.

I feel very happy.

With a man who can cook, life is very comfortable. The best decision she has made in her life is to marry He Daqing.

Especially during pregnancy, look at what Tao Huilan next door eats and what you eat, that's the difference!

The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the better her mood became, and she began to imagine her future life.

"Huai Ru, should we raise some chickens?"

He Daqing blinked and said,

"We can keep two in front of the door and two in the backyard. We have plenty of space anyway. We can eat eggs and make chicken soup during festivals. What do you think?"

Although we have a space manor, it is not a good idea to keep withdrawing supplies from the manor.

If you can raise a few chickens in the yard, you can eat chicken and eggs openly.

Moreover, He Daqing also wanted to try whether the effect would be different if the chickens raised in his own space manor were raised outside.

"That's a good idea!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.

"I just happen to be free and have nothing to do. Now that I'm pregnant, you probably won't let me look for a job. Raise a few chickens and feed them when I'm free, so I won't be bored!"

"Okay, let's raise a few. It's Chinese New Year, so I'll buy some more!"

He Daqing grinned, and the matter was settled.

All the emotion values ​​collected yesterday were used by He Daqing to expand the space manor.

He Daqing discovered that the expansion of the manor was not simply an expansion in area, but an expansion in proportion to the farmland, ponds, and grasslands.

For example, the pool, which was originally only two square meters, has now become four square meters after being expanded last night.

This discovery made He Daqing very happy.

The eggs alone are so fragrant, so the other things raised on the farm should not be much worse!

Thinking of this, He Daqing went to the farmer's market and bought a lot of chicks and ducklings. People in Beijing love to eat roast duck, and when the ducks grow up, they can also add another dish.

He put all these little guys into the space manor.

When he returned to the central courtyard, the baskets were filled with finished laying hens and ducks extracted from the manor.

"Daqing, why did you buy so much!"

Qin Huairu was also shocked to see He Daqing bringing back so many chickens and ducks at once.

You know, the city is different from the village. In the village, you can feed the animals well with just anything you want, but in the city, you need money to buy everything. Raising chickens and ducks requires food to feed, which is a considerable expense.

"It's the same whether you raise one or a bunch of them. It's Chinese New Year now, so let's keep them first and kill a few to eat during the Chinese New Year!"

He Daqing touched Qin Huairu's head.

"Besides, you're pregnant now. Your body will get heavier day by day. Take good care of yourself and eat whatever you want. If nothing else, at least we can guarantee that we have chicken and duck eggs to eat every day!"

"That's true!"

Qin Huairu couldn't help but nod repeatedly, thinking that He Daqing was very thoughtful and was thinking about her everywhere.

So the couple immediately got to work, clearing a space in the open space in front of the door, making a fence around it with branches and wooden boards, and put all the chickens and ducks in.

Qin Huairu even took out some rotten cabbages from the cellar, mixed some cornmeal into them, and she had food to feed the chickens.

This scene happened to be seen by Tao Huilan who was walking out of the house.
