Chapter 290: The Little Hen: Steady and Steady (4)
On the way back, the young couple was so loaded with bags that they wished their parents had given them two more pairs of hands because they couldn't carry them all. They simply couldn't carry them all.
Because of the extra large bag of dried meat and dried cheese, it was not only heavy and troublesome to carry them through security checks, but Dong Xiaoxi and Hua Yue were also worried that the food would be mutated by the radiation and become inedible.
The two were worried, so they tore up some dried meat and cheese as dry food, and ate them throughout the rest of the drive until their cheeks were sore from chewing them.
【Not broken! 】
[Yes, it is not broken! ]
[Hiccup~]
They took the truck, then a bus, then a train, and then a bus and then a motorcycle. When the moon was at its highest point in the sky, the two finally arrived home exhausted.
Dong Xiaoxi personally arranged a guest room for Huayue and changed the bedding for her. Huayue, who was extremely tired, took a shower and fell asleep.
Dong Xiaoxi shook his head in amusement, gave Huayue a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead, then closed the door and went out.
Huayue pursed her lips, feeling a little shy and obviously disappointed. She turned over and tucked her hands and feet into the quilt, and only then did she fall into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Huayue woke up, it was bright day and the hens in the chicken coop were already clucking and making a lot of noise.
The laid eggs rolled out along the track, shining brightly golden in the sunlight.
[Eh?! Xiaoxi, these eggs are a little soft and not very clean. Is there something wrong?]
Mr. Dong originally wanted to cook a delicious meal in the kitchen to entertain his future daughter-in-law, but his wife got there first, so he had to come to the chicken coop to make his presence felt.
As a result, after collecting just a hundred eggs, I found something wrong. Normally, the chicken feed is prepared by my son, and he never buys ready-made bagged feed from outside, so it is normal if some nutrients are missing.
[Well, the soft shell is due to lack of calcium, I need to add some stone powder, and as for the uncleanness due to chicken manure, it is because the hen has intestinal inflammation. ]
[Xiao Xi, Huayue is a very fair and tender child. You can't ask her to do rough work. Hurry up and find some fun places nearby. Prepare the feed and take her out to relax. Your mother and I can handle the housework!]
[Dad, we are not children anymore, how can we push everything to you! ]
Upon hearing this, Mr. Dong looked at his son deeply, said nothing, and continued picking eggs.
Huayue's first meal at Dong's house was unexpectedly to her taste.
Because almost all the dishes cooked by Dong's mother were her favorites, they would all be piled into her bowl.
Huayue couldn't finish the food even if she ate as much as she could. Dong Xiaoxi didn't mind at all and took most of it from her bowl, calling it helping.
Mother Dong covered her mouth and laughed secretly, she liked it no matter how she looked at it.
Father Dong kicked her lightly under the table, then stood up to get the third bowl of rice.
(Dad Dong: Be careful, don’t scare the little girl!)
(Mother Dong: Oh, I see, I see. You get more and more nagging as you get older!)
Both the father and the son are complete gluttons. They eat a lot but don't gain weight. I don't know where all the good things go.
After dinner, Dong Xiaoxi took Huayue to the chicken coop for a walk.
Although the noise was so loud that it almost blew the roof off the house once the door was opened, the sanitary conditions were impeccable. Wherever the chicken feet stepped on, there was clean straw and no suspicious dirt.
It was stuffy outside, but the chicken coop was well ventilated and there was no unpleasant odor.
Huayue silently gave her boyfriend a thumbs up.
(???????)??
This relaxation lasted for more than 200 days.
Huayue watched the little hen grow into a big hen. The work of collecting eggs became increasingly heavy and her income increased significantly.
When she brought people from the village committee to cause trouble and check various approval documents, she saw for the first time the unknown side of Dong Xiaoxi. Fortunately, he has always been cautious, and under the guidance of the teacher, he followed all the procedures, and all the gifts and connections were made, and those villagers who were jealous of the Dong family's money were driven out, haha!
She held her face and said that Xiaoxi looked so handsome when he scolded people with a stern face.
Huayue spent summer, autumn and winter at the Dong family and became familiar with every hen in the family. But she was still not satisfied and wanted to try spring as well.
Someone from the Hua family is coming——
The old father and the third son of the Hua family.
Before leaving, the worried old mother of the Hua family warned the father and son to speak nicely and not use fists, as this was a marriage, not an enmity.
When the Hua family's father and son arrived, they saw Hua Yue smiling like a flower as she helped move the egg trays layer by layer onto the small van.
[Dad, that's our sister?! ]
[Humph, such a cheap smile!!! We also raise a few chickens, why have we never seen Xiaoyue smile so brightly?! ]
Mr. Hua put his hands on his hips, feeling a sudden pain in his teeth.
Hua Laosan was also feeling sour and he disliked the paler and thinner man even more.
(Dong Xiaoxi deserves a beating: ┐(?～?)┌No way, it’s just this body type, I don’t get tanned and I don’t get fat, you’re just jealous, right?!)
[Go, Third Brother, take the things out of the trunk. When we get to Dong's house, we should pay our respects to the elders first. We can't lose our manners!]
[Oh, Dad! Third brother! Aren’t you guys supposed to arrive tomorrow morning? How come you’re here early?]
Huayue was the first to notice the two big guys at the door. She jumped up with joy and hurried over to greet them.
Hua's father poked his daughter's forehead with his index finger and snorted twice.
Every time I called or sent her a video, I urged her to go home, but she always played it safe.
The purpose of the Hua family's trip is to bring Hua Yue home, meet Dong's parents, and discuss the preparations for the marriage.
Arranging a marriage is a matter between adults.
Once the door was closed, Hua Yue couldn't hear the voices inside even though she was leaning against the crack of the door, even though all four people had loud voices.
Dong Xiaoxi was also a little nervous. He remembered the 500,000 yuan dowry and a 150-square-meter house he had promised to the Hua family.
With his current financial resources, it is far from enough.
[You are stupid, if my parents really cared about this, they would not come here at all! ]
It was Hua Yue's words that woke her up. Her four older brothers, the eldest and the second oldest, were already married, so Hua's father had experience in arranging marriages.
Hua's father requested that after marriage, the couple should take turns living in the two cities.
The Dong couple had no objection to this, and Dong Xiaoxi had even less objection.
[I will also apply to set up a breeding farm near your home, and ask the locals to help take care of it, which can also increase income! ]
The wedding date is set for the sixth day of June next year, which is just in time for Huayue to celebrate her 24th birthday at her parents' home.
After the New Year, after the first month of the lunar year, Dong Xiaoxi set out alone, taking his right-hand man, the little hen, to the grassland, driving his van.
The Hua family has a lot of connections, and the approval procedures for the breeding farm went incredibly smoothly.
But as for good chicks, you have to go to other cities to buy them.
By the time the stall was set up, a month had passed.
The little hen with brown feathers, standing among the big hen with white feathers, looks like a stunted child.
[Hahahaha~ I’m already one year old, and I’m still afraid of you, take a rest! ]
There's nothing we can do about it. Species in the north are naturally large in size, and I heard that their production capacity is also amazing.
There are very few sick and weak chickens, and they make loud noises all day long as if they are competing.
On the wedding day, the little hen also stretched her neck to look out.
Now it is the only one laying eggs in the whole chicken coop. I heard that the eggs that the bride ate were laid by it in the past few days.
The little hen was very proud and her chest was held high.
Hold a wedding on the grassland, then return to the man’s hometown and hold another local wedding.
It was the relatives who were busy, and the two young newlyweds were only responsible for smiling and returning gifts.
After the wedding, Dong Xiaoxi basically handed over all matters concerning the chicken coop to the aunt he hired. As long as he was there, nothing went wrong.
However, when Dong Xiaoxi finished his second wedding, he suddenly heard that the little hen he brought to the north was sick and had a big stomach. Five other hens also showed the same symptoms.
Dong Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat. If it was just an ordinary hen, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong.
If he abandoned his two large families and hurried north just for a chicken, no one would probably understand.
So he just asked his aunt to prepare some medicine and isolate the sick hens separately.
If laying hens suffer from severe peritonitis and salpingitis, even if we invite an experienced veterinarian, there is no good solution except using large amounts of antibiotics to reduce inflammation.
After three days, the sick chickens died one after another.
The brown hen still stretched her neck firmly to look at the scenery outside. When the wind blew the grass low, she could see cattle and sheep.
[Hehehe~ Damn it! I weigh 10 kilograms, and I have 9.5 kilograms of ascites. My hair is almost gone. I'm so ugly...]
The woman guarding outside the fence heard the cry and looked out.
[Tsk tsk, this little chicken is really strong, it's still alive in this state! ]
She sat back on the stool and continued weaving the basket in her hands, not noticing that the little hen could no longer stand and slowly fell to the ground, unable to get up.
A bug with a strange sheen on its carapace passed by, pushing a ball of dung, which kept getting bigger and bigger.
The bug looked at the hen with pity, and let out a stinky fart.
The fighting chicken among the laying hens, dead!
