Chapter 239 Don’t Ask, Just Eat
It was almost dark at this time. Everyone was talking when they suddenly heard a sheep bleating. They thought they were hallucinating.
Yes, there are people raising chickens and ducks near their courtyard, but no one is raising sheep.
However, when they turned their heads to look, their eyes widened.
But in the dim light, they saw He Daqing leading a sheep and carrying luggage, walking towards them.
"Uncle, you're back!"
"Where did this sheep come from?"
"Hey man, how did you get back?"
No one expected that He Daqing would come back at this time leading a ewe!
In an instant, the huge yard was in an uproar.
Daughter-in-law Xu Huizhen walked towards He Daqing quickly, looking at the ewe in front of her, her head full of question marks.
"Hey, I'm in the village now. I've caught a lot of lambs recently. I happened to have a lamb that just gave birth, so I brought it back!"
He Daqing chuckled and while he was speaking, he saw his son He Yuhao running towards him.
He Daqing didn't bother to talk to everyone. He handed the ewe directly to his daughter-in-law Xu Huizhen and walked straight into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, He Daqing saw Qin Huairu sitting at the head of the bed. At this moment, she had a headscarf wrapped around her head and was constantly rocking the baby in her arms.
Qin Huairu tried several times, but there was no milk, and her face was full of regret.
It’s obviously the second child, how come there is no one?
"Qing?"
Soon, Qin Huairu noticed He Daqing coming back, and her beautiful eyes widened for a moment.
"Come and see me, my daughter!"
He Daqing chuckled and took his precious daughter from Qin Huairu's arms.
It’s no secret that a daughter is always a father’s little cotton-padded jacket. Looking at his daughter, He Daqing feels very happy.
"Qing……"
Qin Huairu stopped talking.
"I know it all."
He Daqing Road,
"Don't worry, I've got a sheep from the village. The child won't starve."
He had just said a few words when the baby in his arms started crying. It was He Daqing who woke him up.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
He Daqing smiled bitterly and shouted to the people outside the yard,
"Can someone help me get some goat milk for my daughter?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the stunned neighbors in the yard came to their senses and moved towards the ewe one by one.
Fortunately, Xu Huizhen came from the village, so she is naturally good at this kind of thing.
After a while, fresh goat's milk was brought over and heated on the stove until it reached the right temperature. Then He Daqing let Qin Huairu feed him mouthful by mouthful.
The little kid finally got to eat goat's milk, and after eating and drinking his fill, he finally closed his eyes happily.
"So cute!"
Looking at her daughter in her arms, Qin Huairu finally smiled.
Immediately, she looked at He Daqing.
"Give your daughter a name!"
"The name..."
He Daqing looked at the sleeping child, pondered for a moment, and said,
"It would be nice if it rained a little during this famine year. Then... let's call him He Yulin!"
All the children are of the Yu generation, and this little girl is naturally no exception.
"He Yulin? Not bad, not bad!"
Hearing this name, Qin Huairu also started to mutter it with a smile.
With this ewe, Xiao Yulin’s milking problem has been solved.
However, the original chicken coop obviously could not accommodate the sheep.
That night, He Daqing called his son He Yuzhu over, and the father and son got all the wood accumulated in the backyard. They built a sheep pen on the basis of the original chicken coop to provide the sheep with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
This made Xiao Yuhao very happy.
He Yuhao and Yi Miao were at the age when they loved to play. After knowing that the sheep could produce milk if they were well fed, the two brothers would go to the nearby fields after school every day, get some grass, and feed the little sheep.
In order to prevent the sheep from getting in trouble, the two brothers even secretly agreed to take turns guarding it.
As a result, Bang Geng, who was standing in the west room, could only look at the sheep and could do nothing.
"Didn't we just eat Xu Damao's chicken before? These two little bastards are always watching our house like they're guarding against thieves. It's really annoying!"
"I'm afraid that others don't know that there are thieves in our house!"
Jia Zhang, who was in the west room, couldn't help but get angry when she saw the two little brats in the yard.
To be honest, she was really envious when she saw He Daqing got a sheep for Qin Huairu.
Not only did the newborn baby have milk to drink, but even He Yuhao and Yi Miao also benefited a lot.
They are about the same age, but even my own dogs are not as strong as them.
Of course, the most annoying thing is that even after so much time has passed, the people in the yard still look at their dog Bang Geng with contempt and vigilance, which makes her, as a mother, quite annoyed.
"Hey……"
With a helpless sigh, she scooped out a bowl of corn flour from the jar and prepared to make dinner for today.
Although her salary is not very high, there are only three people in her family. She can barely make a living by making corn paste with some pickled cabbage.
And at the same time.
The sky gradually darkened, and after work, He Daqing returned to his house.
With his operation, a bowl of fragrant crucian carp soup appeared in front of Qin Huairu in a short while.
"Carp and tofu soup? Where did you get the fish?"
Looking at the fish soup in the bowl, Qin Huairu also looked at He Daqing in surprise.
She knew that there was famine everywhere recently, and fish, even tofu, was a rare commodity.
"Don't ask, just drink. Only if you eat well can you produce milk. Besides, as a man, there is nothing you can't do!"
He Daqing glared at Qin Huairu and said without question.
He finally understood.
It was okay when I was around, at least I could ensure Qin Huairu's daily nutrition.
But in the past six months, because she had been in the countryside for a long time, Qin Huairu basically ate with her son He Yuzhu and his wife, and the quality of the food immediately dropped.
It would be strange if you can produce milk if you don’t eat well!
Now that he has the crucian carp he caught from the space manor, he still doesn't believe that it is useless!
"okay!"
Qin Huairu smiled happily, and without any hesitation, she picked up the bowl and started drinking in big gulps.
Yes, her man is a capable man. What others can't do, He Daqing may be able to do! In this famine year, He Daqing not only prepared sheep for her, but also prepared fish soup for her, which touched Qin Huairu so much.
With a husband like this, what else could I be dissatisfied with?
Sometimes, this may be the happiest thing!
