Splendid peasant girl busy farming

4742 - Chapter [-]

Mrs. Sun was right. The next morning, when Yang Ruoqing got up early in the morning, Luo Baobao broke in and grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the door, wanting to take her to see her little swallow.

"It really hatched?" Yang Ruoqing asked in surprise.

Luo Baobao was already so excited that he walked with wind, "Come out, come out, I went to check early this morning, and saw a hole in one of the eggs, and a small black head sticking out, but Haven't opened your eyes yet!"

"Then did you tell your grandma?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Luo Baobao said: "Grandma saw it, she said that the little swallow is about to break out of its shell, and the other two will soon be too!"

The mother and daughter talked excitedly, and soon came to the chicken coop in the backyard, where Wang Cuilian was already guarding.

Seeing them coming, Wang Cuilian was also excited, and said to Yang Ruoqing, "It's amazing, this little swallow can really be hatched by an old hen, come and see!"

In the chicken coop covered with soft straw, the old hen is not here at the moment, probably going out for a walk after being tired from hatching eggs.

In the chicken coop lay a row of eggs, among which were three small swallow eggs.

But now, a swallow's egg has been broken into several pieces from the middle, and a small black thing is curled up there.

Its black fluff sticks to its body wetly. It has a big head, a thin neck, and a round belly.

The whole body looks a bit strange, and it is impossible to connect it with the light swallow that flits across the willow tree...

"Mom, it's out, it's all out!" Luo Baobao said excitedly.

As if afraid that his own voice would scare it, Luo Baobao purposely kept his voice very low.

"Yeah, it really hatched." Yang Ruoqing echoed softly.

Luo Baobao pointed to the little swallow's eyes and said: "Mother, its eyes are so big, with thin eyelids, I can see the blue and black eyeballs inside it, it's kind of scary."

Yang Ruoqing smiled, and lightly rubbed Luo Baobao's soft hair: "This is how a newly hatched chick looks like, it will be fine when it grows up."

Luo Baobao nodded, squatted in front of the chicken coop, propped his elbows on his knees, rested his chin on the palms of his hands, tilted his head and continued to look at the chick curiously.

But Yang Ruoqing turned around and came to Wang Cuilian's side, "Auntie, where should the little swallows be raised after they hatch? The hen won't recognize that they are not her cubs, so trample them to death?"

Wang Cuilian thought for a while, and said: "It's not logical. In the past, someone in our village put duck eggs in the chicken coop, and when the ducklings hatched, the hen didn't step on them to death. Instead, they played with them together!"

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing suddenly remembered the story of the ugly duckling.

But the problem is that in the story of the ugly duckling, the duckling is pushed out by the mother chicken and other chicks.

"The first one came out, I think the other two are coming soon, let's put them together to hatch, even if we want to move the nest, we have to wait for them to grow up." Wang Cuilian said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "The bird's nest built by their mother swallow has been kept for them, even though they don't understand anything, hehe, it's also a thought!"

Wang Cuilian smiled: "Is this also what the baby means?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded. This girl looked carefree, but she was actually very delicate and warm most of the time.

"Grandma, where is the rice?" Luo Baobao suddenly stood up and asked Wang Cuilian behind him.

Wang Cuilian was stunned, "The rice is in the granary, why, what do you want the rice for?"

Luo Baobao said: "I want to feed the little swallow!"

Wang Cuilian laughed, with love in every wrinkle on her face: "Silly boy, little swallows can't feed rice with shells now, they are too tender, and the rice will scratch their mouths and intestines."

"Then what do we have to feed them? Hens are not sows, so they can't nurse their babies. Will the little swallows starve to death?" Luo Baobao asked nervously.

Regarding this issue, Yang Ruoqing was also very concerned about it, but it was a pity that she knew what little chickens eat, but she was a layman when it came to little swallows.

"I think the native swallows in the house used to be the male and female swallows who brought small insects from outside to feed the young swallows."

"It really doesn't work, I'll go find bugs and feed them," she said.

"I'm going to catch bugs with my mother!" Luo Baobao raised his hands excitedly.

Yang Ruoqing smiled at her, acquiescing.

Wang Cuilian smiled and said: "It's late autumn, unlike spring and summer, how can bugs be so easy to catch?"

"How about this? I'll soak the rice grains in warm water and feed them first. I used to feed the little chicks this way, so the little swallows are fine too."

The matter was discussed in this way, and in the next day or two, the other two little swallows also hatched.

Compared with other little chicks, the three of them can be considered to have come to this colorful world one step earlier.

"Although your mother swallow is gone, you still have me. I will definitely take good care of you and make you fat!" Luo Baobao squatted in front of the chicken coop and solemnly made a promise.

Someone suddenly came from Sunjiagou.

"That person claims to be from Sunjiagou, but I don't recognize him. We went to Sunjiagou together before, and I never saw that person."

Xiaoduo took Feng'er to play at Sun's house earlier, and talked to Sun and Yang Ruoqing when she came back.

"It is reasonable to say that the Sunjiagou is so big. If more than a dozen families can come to the Sun's house, we should all recognize it. Why don't you recognize it?" Sun asked in surprise.

Xiaoduo shook her head again, "Looking at him, he seems to be in a hurry, and he came here to talk to Da Gagong about the Tweety family."

"I originally wanted to hear a few words, but Feng'er made a fuss about coming back, so I had to come back."

"Grand Gagong has lived here for several months. The three members of Cui'er's family have never come out to look for him. This time, a person who claims to be a relative of Cui'er's family came to look for Da Gagong. It is probably Cui'er. Something happened to my son's family!" Yang Ruoqing analyzed.

Something happened?

Could it be the lock...

"Your aunt will come over in a while, let's just wait patiently." Sun said.

Sure enough, after a bowl of tea, Da Sun found an excuse to come over.

"Sister, are you in the house? Let me tell you something... Ah, Qing'er is there too?"

"Auntie, we were still talking about you just now, which relative came from Sunjiagou?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.

Da Sun said: "What kind of relative? It's not from Sunjiagou at all, it's Cui'er's mother's family. Cui'er's mother begged him to come over and talk about something."

"What's the matter?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Da Sun said: "It's a shame, Cui'er went to hook up with a young boy in Sunjiagou while pregnant. The two of them were doing such shameless things, but they were taken away by the young daughter-in-law. The sisters-in-law of the daughter-in-law's natal family were caught, they beat Tweety and fell, and the child was lost!"
