She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 363 Soft-shelled Eggs

The job of cleaning the pig offal was done by Luo Meihua and Lu Xiaocao.

Normally, Wen Shengxi rarely helped when she had to take care of Sanhua. But today, when she saw Sanhua being carried to the inner courtyard by Sister Qingqing, she happily went to her sister's side and watched them rubbing the pig's offal with wood ash. She sat on a stool, built a small bonfire next to her, and started to burn the hair on the pig's head.

The three of them were chatting and laughing and it was quite lively.

The inner court.

"Look, no wonder I didn't look for you. I guess you're sleepy." Gu Qingqing, who had just entered the room holding Sanhua, saw that Sanhua's eyelids were already drooping.

"Well, I think she is sleepy, but it seems like she doesn't want to sleep." Wen Wuyan said from the side.

"Well, probably because he had too much fun and didn't want to sleep. Baby, when you want to sleep, don't pat or rock him. Close your eyes quickly. Don't cry or make noise." Gu Qingqing's throat and hummed a jingle that he had learned from somewhere. He gently patted Sanhua's back with one hand, and his body imitated the waves, gently rocking Sanhua in his arms.

In less than a minute, the little guy fell into a sound sleep.

Sanhua is a quiet child. As long as she falls asleep, no matter how roughly you put her on the kang, she can turn over and sleep soundly.

After putting the three flowers away, Gu Qingqing turned around and looked at Wen Wuyan and asked, "Did you put the package you just brought back in the outer room? There must be dirty clothes in it. I'll go wash them for you first."

"There's no rush. I want to take a shower at home tonight. I'll use the bath water to wash these. You already have a lot of housework to do, so why don't you let me do it?" Wen Wuyan didn't intend to let Qingqing wash his dirty clothes.

"Just wash your clothes tonight. Since you're back, there's no point in asking you to do it yourself. If you have nothing to do, use the old basin next to the donkey trough in the backyard to fetch some water, sprinkle a layer of wheat bran on it, and bring it to the donkey to drink. It hasn't gotten any water today, so how can it drink?" Gu Qingqing gave him instructions. She had already come to the outer room, and as expected, she saw the small package that Wen Wuyan had placed on the chair.

There was also a water tank in the inner courtyard, and she scooped some water from the tank into a large basin used for washing clothes, and threw two soap pods into the basin. After stirring the foam with her hands, she soaked his clothes and the two children's clothes in it.

Clothes need to be soaked in soapberry water for a while before they can be washed. She has nothing to do now, so she simply follows Wen Wuyan to feed the donkey water.

Then I told him about the wheat. "Brother Dong was worried and insisted on taking Dahei to sleep in the fields yesterday. I tried to stop him but it was useless. But I saw the wheat ears he brought back yesterday and they are already sprouting. It's still early so you can see if you want to go to the fields and take a look. If they can be harvested, we should harvest them early so that we don't have to stand there and be pointed at and commented on by passers-by. It will attract too much attention."

"He went to sleep in the fields?"

Then he thought about it. The last time he went to see the wheat seedlings, the wheat had not yet started to ear. Now he heard Qingqing say that Zhao Dong was guarding there at night, so he was very surprised and asked.

Gu Qingqing put one hand on his shoulder and stood there nodding as if he had no bones.

Then he added, "I haven't been to see it these days. Since you're back, why don't you go and see it."

"It will definitely take a few days to harvest. You see, when we came back from town, no one had harvested the winter wheat along the way. But I'll go take a look later, so I can have a rough idea." Wen Wuyan said, then turned his head to look at Gu Qingqing who was about to put her head on his shoulder and said, "Do you want to come with me?"

Gu Qingqing raised her eyelids and said, "No, I feel lazy when I see you come back."

"The earth eggs are also planted there, don't you want to see how they are growing?" If Wen Wuyan hadn't been holding a basin in his hand to feed the donkey water, he would have said he wanted to pull her into the field.

hiss~

Gu Qingqing began to hesitate.

In the end, Wen Wuyan still took him to the fields to look after the wheat.

Gu Qingqing looked at the wheat ears in front of her with big heads, thin necks and full grains, and she couldn't suppress the smile even if she wanted to.

At this time, a villager from another village came over and looked at the wheat ears in their field. "You must have applied a lot of manure to your fields."

Wen Wuyan didn't want to say that his family was using dung soup, so he just smiled and nodded at the other party, "Yes, all the dung accumulated at home has come here."

When the other party heard that all the manure in the house was put here, he whispered: No wonder the ears of corn look so big, if all the manure is put here, the other fields will be ruined.

Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan smiled at each other and didn't say anything more.

Then Gu Qingqing went to look at the potatoes again. Well, they seemed to be growing well at the moment. However, Gu Qingqing was also cautious. If the potato vines grew too lush, she would have to intervene manually to prune them.

As a result, when she came home from the fields and rolled up her sleeves to wash clothes, she found that the clothes had already been washed.

After asking, I found out that it was the little girl Shengxi who washed it.

"Thanks a lot."

Wen Shengxi smiled, "Sister, this is what I should do."

Gu Qingqing nodded. When she learned that the pig offal, pig head, and bamboo shoots were all ready for her to prepare, she said to Wen Shengxi, "I asked Yang Xing to kill five chickens and two ducks. Go and see if they are ready. If they are, you can bring them back."

"I'll go right away." Wen Shengxi said, and ran out skipping.

When I came back in the evening, as soon as I entered the yard, I hurriedly shouted "Sister, sister".

Before Gu Qingqing showed her head from the kitchen, Lu Xiaocao came out faster, "Screaming like a wolf is chasing you and trying to bite you."

Wen Shengxi was scolded, but he just laughed and said distressedly while holding up the bowls of eggs in his hand, "Look, sister, these are soft eggs found in the chicken's stomach. You don't know how distressed Yang Xing was when she saw these soft eggs just now."

Not to mention Yang Xing's heartache, even Lu Xiaocao, who was always good at keeping a low profile, sighed and said, "Hey, the chicken can be ordered tomorrow at most, why did it get killed? Sister, you see how heartbreaking it is, why don't we not sell the chicken tomorrow? Look, it's about to produce eggs from its butthole."

Lu Xiaocao took the bowl from Wen Shengxi and went into the kitchen.

Luo Meihua was also in the kitchen.

Because Gu Qingqing was teaching them how to make brine.

Gu Qingqing just took a look and took a deep breath to express her helplessness, "If not killing chickens, what else can we kill? We can't just sell pig offal in the store, and we have regular customers who buy our braised chicken now..."

Lu Xiaocao knew that what she said made sense, but she still felt reluctant.

Just talked about this today.

The next morning, Yang Xing came with a bamboo basket on her arm, her face filled with a happy smile. When she saw Gu Qingqing, the corners of her mouth curled up as if she had been hooked.

"Qingqing, I saw soft-shelled eggs in the butts of several hens I killed yesterday. This morning, I went for a walk on the hillside and actually saw a hen laying eggs in a random nest. After they left, I found eggs in the nest. Look, I picked up more than a dozen this morning." Yang Xing said as she lifted the basket in her hand to show Gu Qingqing.

Just look at it.

At this time, there were only a few ping-pong ball-sized eggs in the basket.
