Qiao Xiaoru found the dried straw, curled it in a bamboo basket, and built a nest for the chickens.

There was still unused bamboo at home, so Qiao Xiaoru asked Silly Fujun to cut down another section and cut it off in a short section to feed the chickens. Cut another bamboo knot with two ends, cut it in half from the middle, and use it for feeding.

After preparing everything, Qiao Xiaorucai, Silly Fujun, and Xiaodou Sprouts went to Aunt Zhang's house to bring the chicks back.

I saw that although those little chicks are not big, they are really cute, full of fluff, fluffy, small bean-like eyes are round and black, and the small mouth is tender yellow or tender black gray, and the little pointed ones are just looking at people, making a tender and delicate cry, which makes people's hearts soft and soft.

Qiao Xiaoru and Xiaodou Sprouts fell in love with each other at first sight.

"Twenty-eight eggs, twenty-five chicks hatched, and three eggs I put in warm water to look at them, but they didn't move, they should be widows, and they couldn't hatch! These chicks look really good, one by one, they are in good spirits, take them back and raise them well, and after the New Year's spring, see the sky grow! Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

Qiao Xiaoru agreed, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I want to thank Aunt Zhang!" If it weren't for your hens, we wouldn't know where to go! ”

There are big chickens on the streets, but very few sell small chickens. That is, Aunt Zhang is willing to borrow a hen for nothing to incubate eggs for them, otherwise they can only spend money to buy chicks, and the money to buy a chick can buy two and a half eggs.

"It's all neighbors, not to mention that your mother-in-law and I are so good, what kind words do you say!" Aunt Zhang smiled and waved her hand, and told her how to feed the chicks.

Qiao Xiaoru listened carefully and wrote it down little by little.

couldn't help but be curious, and asked Aunt Zhang for advice on how to see if the eggs could hatch chicks with warm water?

Aunt Zhang smiled and explained to her.

Only then did Qiao Xiaoru know that the eggs that had been hatched for more than 20 days, as long as they were placed in warm water at a moderate temperature, after the water waves calmed down, if they were eggs that could hatch chicks, they would be gently shaken in the warm water, and if they were widows, they would be motionless.

Qiao Xiaoru shouted magically, looked at Aunt Zhang with joy, and said with a smile: "You kid is really stupid, what is this, who doesn't know, I think you are a novelty!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru felt a pang in her heart, lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, and said goodbye to Aunt Zhang. The foolish husband held the bamboo basket with the chicks, and the three of them went home.

When I returned home, as soon as the bamboo basket was put into the house, the little bean sprouts were excited to bring rice and water to feed the chickens.

Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said, "The rice is too hard, let's feed it with rice when we cook dinner!" Don't give them cold water to drink this water, you have to drink warm water that has been boiled and dried, otherwise their stomachs will not be able to stand it! ”

Such a small chick, she can afford to eat rice, and after raising it for more than a month, it is time to dress up the rice with chopped vegetable leaves and add some rice bran.

Little Bean Sprouts blinked her eyes, tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "Aunt Zhang doesn't seem to have an explanation to drink warm water for the chicken!" I used to raise chickens when I lived with my aunt and sister, and I never raised chickens like this! ”

Before Qiao Xiaoru could say that this was her own idea, Xiao Dou Sprouts had already smiled and said, "But I think my sister-in-law is right!" I listen to my sister-in-law! ”

provoked Qiao Xiaoru to laugh and quipped: "Little pony's fart!" ”

The foolish husband also said: "Of course what the daughter-in-law said is right!" Brother, remember, don't forget when we're not at home! ”

"Got it, brother!" Little Bean Sprouts raised her little chin and said, "My brother is also a sycophant!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru laughed, the foolish man blinked, and he grinned when he saw Qiao Xiaoru smiling.

Now the weather is not cold, although there are no hens to keep warm, but at night so many chicks crowded in the straw nest, will not be cold, and when the day is really cold, these chicks will grow up a lot, at that time the resistance is also strong.

Tian didn't know when he came back from Aunt Shen's house, and he was very surprised to see the little chick, his eyes lit up, and he smiled softly: "This is great, when the eggs are laid next year, the daily oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and threads will be gone!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru said yes with a smile, but she didn't agree in her heart: You can still count on a few chickens to lay eggs to live! Then this day is too unpursued!

Qiao Xiaoru was not at ease, and also told Tian how to feed him.

In my previous life, when I lived with my grandmother in the countryside, my grandmother's family also raised chickens, because my grandmother and grandfather said that their chickens were delicious and the eggs were exceptionally fragrant.

The chickens' drinking water is cold and white, and every time the chickens drink water, they have to wash the drinking plates, and they will put in a quarter of a crushed pill, which my grandmother said is to prevent diseases.

Now Qiao Xiaoru can't get any pills to prevent diseases for the chicks, so she can only try to be hygienic and clean.

It's no wonder that such a small chick can stand drinking cold water that has not been sterilized!

If it is another family, the mother-in-law will not listen to the daughter-in-law, but will accuse the daughter-in-law of doing too much and making a mess, in this regard, I have to say that Tian is really a good mother-in-law.

Qiao Xiaoru's words were all nodded one by one, "hey" and agreed to write it down, and said with a smile: "Our Xiaoru is careful, this chick is very tender, and it is good if half of it can be raised by ordinary people!" If you are so careful, our family will definitely be able to raise it! ”

"This is my mother, don't think I'm verbose! Actually, I don't know if this is right or not, but there is always a benefit to being careful! Qiao Xiaoru was a little embarrassed.

On the second and third days, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun were resting at home.

Early the next morning, the little bean sprouts didn't wash their faces when they got up, so they ran to see the chicks first.

Qiao Xiaoru also loves such a fluffy, soft and weak cute little animal, but she is not as impulsive and breathless as the little bean sprouts, so she didn't rush over to see it when she got up in the morning, but went to wash up before coming to see it.

So, the uncle and sister-in-law happened to get together.

"The chickens are more energetic than yesterday! Hey, that's great! Seeing that all the chicks were fine, Little Bean Sprouts immediately showed a relieved expression.

You must know that when the family was not separated before, whenever there were chickens at home, the eldest aunt often carried one or two dead and stiff chicks in the morning and scolded them and threw them away.

That scene again and again made Xiao Bean Sprouts deeply impressed, and he was afraid that the old things would repeat themselves.

Qiao Xiaoru listened to it funny, and didn't want to dampen the optimism and enthusiasm of the little bean sprouts, so she nodded and said, "Well, it's more energetic, and I've grown up a little bit!" As long as the feeding is good, the chicks will grow the fastest, one day at a time! ”
