Chapter 48: Changing the Chicks
You can't hide anything in the village, and this opportunity is not right.
However, he opened his mouth rashly and was worried that this uncle would not dare to sell, so he prepared to inquire about it at dawn.
"Uncle, so many chicks must not be your own, right?"
The uncle nodded again and again, "Of course, I want to feed, the key is that the policy does not allow it, a family can only feed three, but what kind of tail to cut."
It's going to be criticized!
These chickens are also brought back to the village for their closeness. β
At dawn, I understood what this uncle meant, and he couldn't give it for nothing when he brought it back to the village, it had to be exchanged.
So, she pretended to be a little embarrassed and asked, "Uncle, if there is any surplus, can you exchange it for two for me?" β
Uncle obviously didn't expect her to want to change the chicken cubs, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, dawn didn't wait for him to refuse, and hurriedly played the emotional card, "Uncle, I want to change the chick with you for nothing else, I just want to eat an egg." β
"You see that my small body looks like I'm ten years old, but I'm actually fourteen years old, and I used to beg for a living under my stepmother, and I couldn't eat enough at all, and I lost a lot of money. Now that I come out, I want to make up for it more, otherwise I won't have the strength to work. β
Said here a little embarrassed, "That, of course, I'm mainly afraid that I will be disliked by the people in Tunli after working for a long time."
We have come out to go to the mountains and countryside to support the construction of the country, and we can't just shout slogans without taking action! β
Uncle is obviously not a hard-hearted person, he understood when he was dawned, he has seen a lot of this situation, where is there a good child in the village who has a stepmother.
Although this little girl doesn't look like she is dressed like a poor person, in this era, it's not enough to have money and no tickets!
He didn't know what to support and what construction, but he knew that now he had to rely on centimeters for food and drink, and it was not easy for such a young child to come out to survive.
What's more, it's not a change for anyone, seeing that this little girl is quite reliable, and if you give her a few, you will run one less family.
So he sighed, "Seeing that you are so cheerful, I didn't expect that you are also a child who has suffered, and this small body is to be made up more."
Yes! Uncle will decide to give you a few, you can choose yourself, see which one you like, and I'll catch you when you get there. β
"Okay! Uncle, you are such a good person! β
The uncle who was issued a good person card squinted with a smile, remembered something and hurriedly said, "However, my ugly words are ahead, this little chick can't guarantee the male and female, this thing all depends on fate." β
"That's right." Dawn nodded, and scratched her head a little embarrassed, "Uncle, since this is the case, can you give me a few more, I want to choose three, and if there are two males, I will be blind." β
The uncle nodded, "It's not impossible to choose a few more, but there are a number of chickens in each family, will it be troublesome if you want more?" β
In case the little girl was reported, wouldn't it be his?
"Nope! No! Dawn shook his head again and again, "If I can't feed everyone, it should be fine, but if it doesn't work, there will be people in the village who want it." β
"That's right, then you can pick it!"
The uncle who selected the chickens at dawn began to talk to the dawn again about how to feed the chickens, "Feed some millet mixed with wild vegetables if you have conditions, feed some cornmeal and wheat bran mixed with wild vegetables if you don't have conditions, and cut the wild vegetables finely." β
Dawn was speechless, "This little chick still eats so well!" β
You must know that millet is a fine grain, which is generally only eaten by the elderly and children with poor digestion or pregnant women in confinement.
"Not really!" Uncle looks like you don't understand, "This feeding chicken is counting on it to lay eggs, in addition to keeping the eggs for themselves, the most important thing is that they can be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives for money, but they can't be served well."
Our croppers' source of income for a year, in addition to the grain grown in the field, depends on this side business to save money.
However, no one can feed millet now, and most of it is cornmeal. β
Speaking of this, he was afraid that he would scare the dawn so much, so he hurriedly changed his words, "You don't have to feed it for too long, seven or eight days, ten days, and when the chicks grow up, you can feed them something else, or let them out and let them find something to eat on their own."
Chickens are omnivores, as long as they are not sick or very easy to raise, and they are much better than pigs, cows, horses and donkeys, that is the ancestor! β
Dawn nodded knowingly.
"Okay uncle, I know, then I want ten, how do you think it's appropriate?"
"Ten?" Uncle obviously didn't expect Dawn to be so much.
In fact, he didn't know that the dawn was too little, and if it weren't for the fear of attracting too much attention, she would have wanted to take all these chicks away.
In this way, in the near future, there will be eggs and chicken to eat, and there is a place to hide it anyway, so she will not have too much.
As soon as the uncle wanted to persuade him, he thought of the words that dawn said before that he could give the chicks to others, and quickly changed his words, "Okay! You make up your own mind, and as for things, you see what the right thing you bring.
I'll tell you the price first, this little chick usually sells it for three to five cents, and I will count you as much as you want.
You can exchange it for an equivalent ticket or anything. β
The uncle was stunned and didn't dare to ask for money, for fear of leaving hidden dangers.
"I'll take a look later!" Dawn put down this sentence and went to pull the small back basket, in fact, he was thinking about what to come up with.
The ticket is not good, not to mention conspicuous, there is not much left of her own ticket, and there is no exchange of tickets for this transaction. The main reason is that she thinks that the bills are easy to expire, and she will not often run to the county if she is okay in the next two months, so she didn't change them.
As for the meat and rice, you can't take it, can you still grow it with this good thing?
The character must stand, not collapse!
Turning over the back basket, Dawn had an idea.
I took out two packs of cigarettes I prepared for my eldest brother, which I had exchanged in Jin City before, a pack of red and blue peonies for five cents, and took out small snacks such as Jiangmi crackers and biscuits that I bought in the county. Reluctantly said to the uncle, "Uncle, I don't have any good things here, I brought these two packs of cigarettes and biscuits from the county for everyone."
What do you think?
If you want cookies, I'll give you a little bit. β
After speaking, he talked about the price of these two things, and focused on the price of the bill.
I lamented in my heart, sure enough, people can't lie, otherwise they will have to use countless lies to lie, she made up more nonsense this day than in the previous fourteen years, and the thought of going back to have a more difficult big brother to deal with is tired! (ΰΈ β΅Dishβ²)ΰΈ (β»β»
The uncle's eyes have not been taken away since dawn when he took out the things, and for this reason he deliberately stopped the donkey cart, otherwise he was afraid of driving the cart into the ditch.
Needless to say, the biscuits make you swallow wildly, and you can smell the characteristic sweetness from a distance.
The key is the two packs of brightly colored soft-packed cigarettes, which no one can refuse as long as they smoke.
Uncle has only seen the big front door once, and this peony is actually more expensive than the big front door!
The most important thing is not how much this thing costs, but the issue of tickets, and it is impossible for them, ordinary people, to touch the cigarette tickets.
