Rebirth 1991: Hello, Husband

Chapter 28 Stealing Eggs

In the following days, due to Bai Wei's foot injury.

Unable to do any heavy work, Zhao Chunmei thought of another way to torment Bai Wei, which was to let Bai Wei pick up beans.

The beans are small and yellow, and they are usually used to grind bean curd, soy milk, or boil sauerkraut, rice beans, etc. They are very popular in the village and are considered treasures.

Every time the Chinese New Year or festivals are celebrated, every family will take out and piece together to grind bean curd and the like.

Bai Wei saw that Zhao Chunmei brought her a few beans in a dustpan and put them on the kang.

He didn't say anything, just sat on the kang, buried his head in picking up the beans in the dustpan, his hands were neither fast nor slow.

It was hard for Zhao Chunmei to pick out any mistakes.

Even Zhang Lanxin couldn't find fault with her, so she just let her sit on the kang and pick it up.

Every day, delicious food and drink will be served on her table.

After all, Bai Wei's foot is injured now, so she can't walk around casually at all.

If something happened again, with the temperament of the villagers, they might come to blame their family again.

But this has been serving her delicious food and drink.

Zhao Chunmei was very unhappy, so Zhang Lanxin deliberately asked her to move a little on the rice.

It was originally a bowl of rice, but Zhang Lanxin made half a bowl for Bai Wei, and there were some vegetarian dishes underneath.

At first, Bai Wei didn't notice it, but after several meals in succession, Bai Wei felt that she was not full, and when she wanted to ask Zhang Lanxin to serve her a second bowl of rice.

Zhang Lanxin always said that there was no more rice in the pot.

Bai Wei is not a fool, so she naturally understands that Zhang Lanxin doesn't want her to eat more.

But Bai Wei was also very unhappy because she couldn't get enough to eat all the time.

She knows that in this day and age, food is extremely important.

You must know that each household does not actually have much food, and everyone has to eat the food that is planted for more than a year. If there is a flood or drought and the harvest is not good, everyone may not be able to eat enough.

Therefore, most villagers will use sweet potatoes as a food substitute.

However, it is almost the autumn harvest, and there is no possibility of food shortages.

The only reason Zhao Chunmei asked Zhang Lanxin to do this was that she didn't want Bai Wei to eat more when she couldn't do much work.

But Bai Wei didn't have the temperament of her previous life, she wouldn't wrong herself in this situation and let herself not have enough to eat.

So when the Zhang family all went to work in the field.

While the chickens in the yard were laying eggs, they quickly picked up the eggs and hid them.

When Zhao Chunmei's family had lunch and went to work in the field, they took the opportunity to throw the eggs into the stove and cook them on a low fire.

When burning, first gently open a small gap for the egg.

The purpose is to prevent the eggs from exploding while cooking.

For several days in a row, Bai Wei stole eggs like this to fill her stomach.

At first, Zhao Chunmei may not have noticed the problem of eggs being stolen.

But in the days that followed, Zhao Chunmei seemed to have noticed something. Every time she came back from the field, she would hold the eggs in the yard and keep weighing them, and she kept muttering, "It's really strange." It's so strange, when I weighed these two chickens last night, they were obviously going to lay eggs this morning, why it's already noon, and they haven't laid eggs yet?"

"Mom, did you make a mistake?" Zhang Lanxin, who was standing beside her, said with a frown, "I don't think these chickens have laid eggs for a while. Is it the season for laying eggs?"
