At this time, Wang Xiulan happily took out a small cardboard box from the warehouse.

A cry of "chichichi..." came from the box.

Gu Yunyao asked in surprise: "Did you get chickens in exchange?"

Wang Xiulan nodded and smiled and said: "Mom, I changed ten chicks. Look at it, you are really happy."

Gu Yunyao leaned her head over to take a look, and saw that the bright yellow and fluffy chicks looked very cute.

"Okay, give them some millet to eat."

"Millet?"

Wang Xiulan's eyes suddenly widened, confused by the wind.

Millet is a very valuable thing, should it be given to little chickens?

Gu Yunyao then remembered that people in this era were frugal and would not be willing to give millet to chickens.

"Then mix some cornmeal with vegetable leaves and give it to them."

Wang Xiulan was still reluctant to part with it and reminded her kindly, "Mom, do you have rice bran at home?"

Gu Yunyao shook his head and said: "They are too small. We will give them rice bran to eat when they are a little bigger."

Wang Xiulan reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Gu Yunyao sighed, her family was too poor and her daughter-in-law was reluctant to give up anything.

After digging the yams, Gu Yunyao still took the children to cut pig grass, pick mushrooms, and collect firewood.

Wang Xiulan feeds all the chickens at home.

When she woke up this morning, she found that only three of the ten chicks were left in the cardboard box, and her hands and feet suddenly became cold.

How come seven chickens were lost?

Did he run out on his own? Or was he taken away by Huangpizi?

She searched everywhere unwillingly, searching all over the house, but still couldn't find it.

She suddenly became depressed. She had bought the chickens with polished rice, and now she lost seven of them. She felt really bad.

I really regret putting the chickens in the barn. Maybe they wouldn't be lost if they were placed in the bedroom.

However, she felt sorry for her two children and her husband who had been working hard all day.

The crow of the chicken is really noisy. If it is placed in the bedroom, the two children and husband will not be able to sleep well.

That's why she put the chickens in the barn. Who knew something like this would happen?

She felt like the sky was falling.

While eating, Wang Xiulan finally saw her mother coming back. She said pitifully: "Mom, seven chickens are missing."

Gu Yunyao replied apologetically, "Don't worry, I gave away those chickens."

In fact, this morning, Gu Yunyao threw seven chicken cubs into the space.

Worried about the chickens running around, she blocked the corner with branches.

After searching the thatched house in space, she found half a bag of millet. She mixed it with vegetable leaves and gave it to the chickens.

The chick ate it happily and chirped "chichichi..." gratefully to her.

In the morning rush, she forgot to tell her daughter-in-law.

When Wang Xiulan heard her mother-in-law's words, her mind wandered. Her mother was with the twins all day long and she didn't see her interacting with anyone else.

Did she give the chicken cubs to Chang Dani’s mung bean eyes?

She immediately had a shudder. Could it be that although her mother had broken up with Chang Dani on the surface, they were actually getting along again.

She doesn't want to go back to the past, let alone live like that.

Suddenly I felt uneasy.

He neglects everything he does and has no patience even with coaxing his children. He only looks forward to the return of his husband.

Gu Yunyao felt that something was wrong with her daughter-in-law, but she didn't think deeply about it.

Well, a woman is in a bad mood for a few days every month, maybe her daughter-in-law’s aunt is here.

In the evening, Wang Xiulan finally saw Lu Dajun coming back. Like a withered seedling that had finally seen water, she said with tears in her eyes: "Dajun..."

Lu Dajun looked at his wife, wondering what had happened.

He was shocked, remembering that he had just returned from the army and saw his wife and daughter being groomed by their mother. His wife's eyes were also full of expectation.

He took the opportunity to ask her in a low voice, "Honey, what happened? Is Mom trying to tease you and the children again?"
