80s Raising a Baby

Chapter 57 057: Jing Hong Kills the Chicken

Ye Qian held the knife and replied with a guilty conscience: "I... I have never killed a chicken before!"

Don't look at her being careless on weekdays, but she has never done such a thing as killing. After all, there are people in the vegetable market who kill, chop, and go home. You can do it directly, so you have to do it yourself.

Jing Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly, and then shouted at Jing Hong who was watching: "Brother, don't look, hurry up."

Jing Hong strode forward to Ye Qian and said, "Mom, I'll come!" He was about to grab the knife in Ye Qian's hand.

Ye Qian raised her eyebrows, "Are you okay?"

Jing Hong: "Yes."

Directly, Jing Hong took the knife and walked towards the big rooster steadily.

Ye Qian didn't dare to watch, she stretched out her hand and pulled Jing Li and said, "You guys kill slowly, call me when you're done, I'll come in." After speaking, she pulled Jing Li away.

Jing Cheng held the chicken with one hand and complained, "Mother is too timid."

As soon as the words were finished, there was only an ow, and the big rooster died.

Jing Cheng: "Brother, you are the best."

Jing Hong: "Don't talk nonsense, you will pluck your hair later."

Jing Cheng: "Didn't Mother say to call her after killing?"

Jing Hong raised his eyebrows and asked back: "You think your mother will?"

Jing Cheng: "Ah...but I'm afraid I won't be able to clean it up."

Jing Hong's face darkened, "Get lost!"

Ye Qian waited in the room for more than ten minutes. Seeing that the two children hadn't called her, she decided to come out to have a look.

As soon as he came out, he saw Jing Hong sitting on the small bench, plucking the chicken feathers from the basin with a blank expression.

Ye Qian: "Why didn't you call me after you finished killing?"

Jing Cheng said quickly: "Brother, I'm afraid you won't know it."

Ye Qian said stubbornly: "Who said that?" Then she boldly walked a few steps forward.

As soon as he came to the front, he heard a "vomit", turned around and ran away.

Hot water is used when plucking chicken feathers, so there is a strange smell when you get close.

Seeing his mother like this, Jing Cheng narrowed his eyes and teased, "Mother, didn't you say you could do it?"

Ye Qian turned her head and glared at him, "I said I was good at cooking, but I didn't say I was good at plucking chicken feathers."

"Aren't you free? Jing Hong, teach him how to pluck chicken feathers. From now on, our family will eat chicken, and we will leave the plucking of chicken feathers to Jing Cheng."

Jing Cheng...

"Mom, I'm only six years old, don't you think you're going too far!"

Ye Qian replied with a cold face: "I don't think so."

Children at this time were generally precocious, and at his age he was already able to help plant corn, so Ye Qian didn't feel any psychological burden at all.

After Jing Hong finished plucking the chicken feathers, Ye Qian would leave the rest to Ye Qian. Ye Qian did not know the first two items, but she knew how to chop the chicken, and cut it into pieces in a short while.

The newly repaired stove was just used to stew chicken, because Ye Qian forgot to buy white noodles, so she had to use cornmeal to stick pancakes.

"Mother, when can this chicken be eaten?" Jing Cheng ran over and asked for the tenth time.

Ye Qian: "Waiting for 5 minutes."

Jing Cheng: "How long is 5 minutes?"

Ye Qian: "Just count to 300 and you'll be there."

Jing Cheng: "Forget it." After finishing speaking, he was about to slip away.

Ye Qian shouted coldly: "Come back."

Jing Chengxi said with a smile on his face, "Mother~"

Ye Qian: "It's useless to call daddy."

While Jing Cheng was stumbling and counting, the big rooster was finally stewed.

Ye Qian used an iron basin to fill it up, then scooped out the pancakes by the side of the pan, and put them on a separate plate.

Sitting on the newly purchased chair, Jing Chengqian's saliva almost flowed out.

Ye Qian handed him the chopsticks, and asked suspiciously: "I haven't missed you these few days, are you so greedy?"

Jing Cheng: "This is different." He took the lead in grabbing a chicken wing.

Jing Hong followed closely with a chicken paw, and Ye Qian looked at the two brothers who were not polite and hurriedly said to Jing Li, "Jing Li, grab whatever you want, your brother will eat it up in a while."

Jing Li smiled shyly, and then also took a chicken wing.

Ye Qian didn't understand why they liked to eat these, so she happily picked up a chicken thigh for herself.

Jing Cheng gnawed on the chicken wings and asked, "Mom, is it delicious?"

Ye Qian: "It's delicious!"

Jing Cheng: "In the past, these were all eaten by my uncle and sister-in-law. I didn't expect that one day I would be able to eat them too."

Ye Qian: "When I'm free, I'll catch a few chickens for you to raise. If you want to eat them, Mom will make them for you every day."

Jing Cheng: "Really?"

Ye Qian: "Really."

Jing Cheng: "Okay, I promise to keep them fat and white."

Jing Li: "Mom, can you raise ducklings?"

Jing Cheng: "Duck meat is not tasty, why should you raise ducks?"

Ye Qian gave Jing Cheng a white look, "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, if you want to raise them, Mom will catch you some too."

Jing Li smiled sweetly, and responded obediently: "Okay."

After dinner, Ye Qian urged them to go to rest. The children were tired after a busy day.

Ye Qian sent Jingli back to her room, and asked worriedly, "Jingli, are you afraid?"

Jing Li shook her head, "Not afraid."

Ye Qian: "If you are afraid, go and call your mother."

Jingli nodded.

After Jingli was settled, Ye Qian went to Jinghong's room again.

The upper and lower bunks Ye Qian had ordered for them, and the two brothers were arguing over who should sleep in the upper bunk.

Jing Cheng, who was always afraid of Jing Hong, didn't know where he got his courage from.

"Mom, I want to sleep on the upper bunk."

Jing Hong replied blankly, "No."

Ye Qian glanced at Jing Cheng and asked, "Why do you want to sleep on the upper bunk?"

Jing Cheng: "I haven't slept before, I want to try."

Ye Qian: "What about you?"

Jing Hong: "He is too noisy."

Ye Qian: "The two of you sleep alternately, every Monday and every week. Whoever wins the scissors and burden hammer will sleep on the upper bunk first."

Jing Cheng...

After dealing with the two children, Ye Qian, she went back to the room. The old lady's bed was too small. Ye Qian ordered a big one for herself this time, and put Jing Hui aside, she rolled around on the bed twice before falling asleep.

After moving to the old house, everything returned to normal, but the smiles of the family increased a lot.

On Saturday night, just as Ye Qian was about to sleep with Jing Hui in her arms, she heard a "bang bang" knock on the door outside. Ye Qian was startled, she quickly put on her clothes, picked up the flashlight and went outside.

Just as she opened the door, Jing Hong also heard the movement and came out.

"Mother~"

Ye Qian made a gesture of booing him, and stood in the yard and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

In the middle of the night, even if she knew how to self-defense, she didn't dare to open the door rashly.

"Me." A familiar voice sounded from outside.

Ye Qian was relieved when she heard that it was Chen Zhongwu's voice.

"How did you find it?" Ye Qian asked as she stepped forward to open the door.

When I opened the door, I was shocked to see Chen Zhongwu. I haven't seen Chen Zhongwu for half a month, he has become a different person, and the whole person is unshaven. If it wasn't for sleeping together for more than a month, Ye Qian wouldn't have Definitely recognize him.

"You fled the famine?" Ye Qian asked in surprise.

Chen Zhongwu: "Let me in first."

Ye Qian turned sideways to make way for him to come in, and then locked the door again.
