Chapter 42

Because duck eggs are fragile, 1 duck eggs were sent to the Su family, and three carriages were sent to Taihe Building.

The weather was fine today, so Su Yu asked someone to unload the duck eggs in the yard. As soon as the people left, the Su family closed the door and opened it.Two baskets were placed in front of Su Yu to pick up the duck eggs in front of him. The left basket put the unusable ones, and the usable ones on the right. After the basket was full, Lian and Su Laoer carried the eggs to the newly built house. Put the eggs one by one on the rack.

It took Su Yu half a day just to pick out the duck eggs. Thanks to her good eyesight and quick movements, it would have been impossible for anyone else to pick them out in a whole day.

At last count, there were 560 unusable duck eggs, which meant that there were 440 eggs in the house. Su Yu was quite satisfied. After 20 days, about [-] ducklings had hatched.

After everything was ready, Su Laoer started to light the fire. Not long after the fire wall started, Su Yu felt that it was almost done, so he took the thermometers he made into the house and put one on the left and right sides.

"Dad, Mom, this is a thing I made specifically to measure temperature. The temperature of hatching eggs is relatively high. Look at the red line rising from the middle tube. I have marked a mark on the tube. If it reaches the middle of the mark I marked, it means that the temperature has reached If it is not enough, it means the temperature is low, and if it exceeds it, it means the temperature is high. When you light the fire, you must control the temperature well. It can't be too high or too low."

Su Yu talked for a long time, but the two of them didn't remember anything, they just remembered that they should be in the middle of the two lines, and they could neither go up nor down.

"Girl, you went to the town to buy this thing, just to hatch eggs."

"Of course, otherwise, why would I make it? It's so convenient now. I don't have to turn over the duck eggs every two hours when the duck eggs are placed on the shelf. We just need to control the temperature, which is much easier than before."

The couple nodded sharply.

Every time they hatched an egg before, the two felt sorry for their daughter. They stayed in the house for more than ten days, and they didn't even dare to go for a walk in the village, for fear that something might go wrong. Now they can do this job, and the daughter is not so tired .

Today is the first day, Su Yu is afraid that something will go wrong, so she spends most of the time in the house, checking the eggs and two thermometers from time to time.It was already hot in the room, and after a long time, his face was flushed. The sweat on his body was dry, and he didn't know how wet his body was. The two felt sorry for their daughter, but they also knew that this matter can only be done by the daughter, and they can't help others. I'm busy, so I can only learn from my daughter, so as to relieve my daughter's work in the future.

Su Yu tried to persuade them several times but refused to listen, so in the end he had no choice but to let them go.

It wasn't until dinner at home that Su Sheng realized that everyone in the family was busy in the room next to them.Now when he comes back every day, he is busy studying and waiting for his mother to prepare food. Now that he knows that his family is busy, he can't help but blush with embarrassment.

"Father, mother, I didn't know you were busy, so let me make dinner tomorrow."

"Brother, you learn from yours. You can teach me after you have learned. Today is the first day. We are a bit busy. Tomorrow we will take turns guarding the house, so we will not be as busy as today."

Su Sheng was heartbroken.

"Your sister is right. The most important thing for you now is to study. You are almost sixteen this year. In two years, you should marry a wife. When you marry a wife, you should go home and help the family. How much do you do now? Learn some good things to teach your younger sister, and the work at home will wait for you in two years before doing it."

Su Sheng felt very calm and had no dissatisfaction. It was only natural for a man to start a family and start a career.

Su Yu found that Su Sheng's attitude had changed. Unlike before, he would just blame everything in his heart when something happened.Look, sending your eldest brother to school is such a wise decision.

Previously, I found that Su Sheng's psychology was a bit extreme, and if this continues, he will only become more and more biased, and it is not certain where he will go in the end.Sending people to study not only learns knowledge, but also the principles of life and doing things. Once people's horizons are broadened, they won't just focus on the things at hand. It seems to be very effective.

The family ate in a hurry, and Su Yu went to the house to keep watch. The couple wanted to follow them, but a guest came to the house.

"Uncle Yu, why are you here?"

Su Laoer is from outside, and he is called by the villagers depending on his age.

"Mom, go and make a bowl of tea for Uncle Yu."

"No, I drank it at home, don't bother."

"You don't have to be polite when you get home."

Mrs. Lian went to the kitchen and made two bowls of tea. Drinking tea in the village was not very particular, and people were not used to it if you had to use a cup to make tea.

"It's so late at night, why are you here?"

Yu Liezi is over 50 this year. He is not tall and looks average. He fell ill when he was a child, and the root cause of the disease has fallen. Since then, he has been walking with a limp. The villagers gave him the nickname Yu Liezi. In his 30s, he married Chen, a widow who had fled from another place.

"I heard from people in the village that you can take duck seedlings from your home to raise them, and then your family will buy them back. Is this true?"

Su Laoer didn't expect that the first person to come to the door was Yu Liezi.

"It's true. Uncle, you also know that my ducks are raised by Taihe House in the town. His family has a restaurant in other places. The amount of ducks he wants is relatively large. Anyway, my family can't raise them. Who in the village wants to raise them?" Just raise it."

"Then can I credit some ducklings with your family, and I will give you money when they grow up."

"Yes, but uncle, we have agreed in advance that a duckling costs eight cents per catty. After four months, the duck will be raised and the price will be eight cents per catty. My family will sell it to Taihe House for ten cents per catty. .”

"I know this, and it's spread in the village. You also know that with my legs, I can't do heavy work, and others don't look down on me for light work. I used to raise some chickens at home, and plant the two acres of land at home. .”

This Second Su really knows that Lie Yu's family's conditions are not good, and there are two sons under him, who are in their 20s and haven't married a wife yet.

"Uncle, how many do you plan to raise?"

Yu laizi had already thought about how much he would raise before he came here.

"I plan to raise five hundred."

That girl of the Huang family dared to raise a hundred ducks. How could he be inferior to a girl? He planned to raise five hundred ducks, but he didn't know if the Su family would dare to give him so many ducklings.

"Okay, I'll write down five hundred for you. When the ducklings arrive in a while, we can go to the village chief's uncle to write a contract and leave it with the village chief's uncle. If I regret it, I can go to the village chief to make the decision. "

"Second brother, this is you."

Cripple Yu gave a thumbs up gesture.

"I have nothing to say. It doesn't matter if the contract is written or not. I can trust your character."

"One yard is one yard, and the contract still needs to be written. The ducklings are estimated to arrive in a month, and you can come to my house to get the ducklings when the time comes."

"It's not too early by then, so I'll go back first and I'll come when the ducklings arrive."

"Uncle, go slowly."

The fact that Yu Laizi ordered duck seedlings at Su's house spread around the village the next day. It was the two sons of Yu Laizi's family who said this in the village. The villagers couldn't help but believe it. All the villagers had been waiting and watching before. Now when I see someone doing it, some people can’t sit still.

The second person who came to the door was Yang Ermei. She took Doudou at home, and she was also idle when she was free, and she was busy raising some ducks.
