Chapter 25 The Weasel Greets the Chicken

Li Xiangming tried to test his daughter to see how she would react when she saw that she was dead.

"Li Xiangming, you are so hateful." Li Yan was really angry, how old she is to make such a joke!
Li Xiangming smiled and got up to carry a basket full of wild vegetables under a tree not far away.

Li Yan, who was about to talk, was interrupted by a familiar bird call.

"Gold quack..."

"Where is it called? I fell down just now, so I have to catch it." Li Xiangming hurriedly put down his backpack and looked around in the grass.

Only then did Li Yan realize why he was going back late, and hurried up to grab his arm, "Dad, Jin Quack is a second-class national protected animal, so you can't be caught."

"If you don't catch others, you still catch it the same way. This kind of wild game is very popular in the county, and it costs 60 yuan a piece." Li Xiangming hurriedly shook off his daughter's hand, and searched carefully in the grass and among the vines.

Li Yan deliberately followed him, coughing hard from time to time.

Being disturbed by her, Li Xiangming guessed that Jin Gaga must have run away, and gave his daughter a hard look, "You must be stupid in studying, that's money."

Li Yan smiled and went to carry some wild vegetables, "Dad, let's go back."

The two returned to the mud house at the foot of the slope one after the other. Li Lanfen heard the voice and walked out of the house, followed by a familiar man.

"Brother Zou, why didn't you say anything?" Li Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Zou Chengmin smiled and took the pannier from her back and put it on the ground, "I went to the county town to find Uncle Liu for something, and I heard that he was going to Pingya Village today, so I followed him."

"Where's Uncle Liu?" Li Yan looked into the room, but saw no one.

"I heard from the village chief that there was a family whose sheep gave birth to lambs, so I went to see it first." Zou Chengmin only wanted to see her, so he came here first.

In addition to Li Yan's family in Pingya Village last year, the six poorest families also received poverty alleviation subsidies, and each household had a pregnant ewe that had been bred.

"Oh, then let's go and have a look." Li Yan also wanted to raise some sheep.

"Swallow, you have to wait at least two years before you can raise sheep. They will eat them. If one accidentally eats all the young leaves of the pepper tree, the tree will be useless. You can only raise some chickens. Next time I will give you a sheep. You grab a few hens of a good breed and let you raise them well."

Li Xiangming snorted coldly beside him, "Don't bother, we have hens."

"Uncle Li, I bought the breed of chicken from Lanzhou at a high price, and it is very popular in the market." Since the first time I came here to find Li Yan last year, Zou Chengmin found that Li Yan's father didn't like him.

"Will the price of the pheasant be high? I have seen the pheasant walking in the mountains, and it will be captured alive in a few days and brought back to her for raising." After speaking, Li Xiangming gave Zou Chengmin a contemptuous look, and walked into the kitchen.

Li Yan didn't know what was going on, every time his father saw Zou Chengmin, he liked to hurt him, so he could only look at him apologetically, "Brother Zou, I'm sorry, my dad has such a temper, don't take offense."

"It's okay, by the way, I just saw your notebook in the room, go and see how the saplings are doing." Of course Zou Chengmin won't be offended, as long as Li Yan is kind to him.

"Okay, I'll wash my face." Li Yan nodded, went to the kitchen to scoop water, and saw her father holding a bowl of noodles ready to eat, so she said, "Dad, I'll take Brother Zou to see the survival of the pepper tree." Regarding the situation, please tell me when Uncle Liu comes."

"Swallow, let me tell you that the kid outside the door is a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken. He has no good intentions. Be careful." Li Xiangming warned his daughter in a low voice.

Li Yan wiped her face with a towel, and replied in a low voice, "Dad, you must be thinking too much, he was arranged by Uncle Liu to help us."

Li Xiangming sneered, Liu Huaying, the poverty alleviation cadre, was indeed kind, but he understood the way Zou Chengmin looked at Yanzi.
