The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 348 Adding Duck
"Meixi, are you there? Can I come in?"

On this day, Bai Meixi heard her sister-in-law's voice just after she came back from space. She was shocked at that time. Could it be that her whereabouts had been discovered?
She straightened up immediately and replied, "Yes, sister-in-law, please come in!"

After hearing her answer, the sister-in-law pushed the door open and came in. Since she didn't take off her clothes during the lunch break, and the sister-in-law was also a woman, there was nothing to avoid.

"Meixi, have you been working too hard recently? You've lost weight."

After entering the door, the sister-in-law pulled up a stool and looked at her and said.

Bai Meixi also got up from the bed, put on her shoes and sat on the bedside. She was a little embarrassed when she heard her sister-in-law say this, "Everyone in this society is working hard, and sister-in-law, you are working hard too!"

She seemed to have less time to care about the older sister recently, and she didn't know if it was because this older sister-in-law came to look for her.

"Haha, that's true. By the way, the eldest girl was a little worried and said that you have spent less time with her recently. If you have time, you can accompany her." The eldest sister-in-law touched her forehead and said a little embarrassed.

She felt that this matter was a bit overwhelming. After all, she should be responsible for Da Niu's affairs, but what she didn't expect was that her abilities were limited. And she saw that Da Niu communicated very well with Bai Meixi, so she had no choice but to make this request.

It turns out that this is the case. It seems that her secret has not been discovered. Bai Meixi thought happily and agreed, "Okay, I forgot about it recently. I will go to accompany her in the evening."

Although Da Niu cannot speak, relying on the mute language she taught herself, she can already use gestures to express some daily things.Moreover, family members also follow suit, and there is no problem with simple communication.

It seems that I haven't seen the big girl for two or three days. She probably wants to study.This studious child, Bai Meixi thought to herself, felt that God was really unfair. It was a pity that such a smart and sensible child could not hear sounds.

Seeing that Bai Meixi agreed, the sister-in-law beamed with joy. She saw how well Bai Meixi took care of her.So at any time, she regards Bai Meixi as a trustworthy person in her heart, and wants to help her share some things.

"Meixi, are you still busy with things in the barren mountain recently? Otherwise, I will help you do some work in the back mountain."

The eldest sister-in-law felt that she was always helped by Bai Meixi, but she didn't reciprocate, which seemed a bit uninteresting, so she said something.She had mentioned this matter before, but was rejected by Bai Meixi. What she thought this time was that she came here specifically to share the work for Bai Meixi so that the other party could have a little rest.

Bai Meixi refused immediately upon arrival. Firstly, she felt that her sister-in-law was busy with her own affairs and could not do this extra thing.Secondly, it was because she didn’t want her family to know about the Barren Mountain incident. Otherwise, her family would be suspicious if she tried to subsidize fruits and vegetables for her family in the future.

The best way is to let them not know the progress of this barren mountain at all. That is the best result.Then no one will doubt what you have taken out.

"Sister-in-law, your work in the fields is no less than mine," Bai Meixi said, "and the harvest is definitely better than that of my barren hills. It's not worthwhile to put your efforts on me. Besides, I made a bet with my sister-in-law Let her eat a load of sweet potatoes. Once you help me, I will definitely not be able to win. So, you better not worry about my affairs. In fact, Barren Mountain is also a job I took on when I was looking for something to do and was afraid that I would be bored. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Maybe Bai Meixi's words were too convincing, but the sister-in-law had no way to refute, and in the end the two of them separated with a smile.After tutoring the older girl with her homework in the evening, Bai Meixi also gave Cheng Haiwen some pointers on novels. Now he can publish a novel steadily every month, which is amazing.A few days later, when Bai Meixi went to the space again, she heard a chirping sound. At that time, she was delighted. This sound could be that the chick was hatching.Sure enough, when she arrived at the chicken coop, she saw that the old hen that was hatching eggs had already fallen to the ground, and a group of fluffy chicks were following behind her. The yellow fluff and tender mouths were so unbearable to watch. I want to touch it.

"Wow, the chick has hatched!" Bai Meixi was very happy and hurriedly added more food to the chicken, so that the chick would grow faster after eating it.

Seeing the food, the old hens and chicks ran over, and she counted 18 in total. It was estimated that two eggs could not be hatched, but this birth rate was acceptable. Bai Meixi felt deeply when she saw these chicks. I am very happy that I am more likely to eat chicken at the end of the year.

However, these chickens are far from meeting her needs, and she needs to buy more poultry.After going to the county town to retrieve the money sent by Cheng Haiyi, she went to the market to wander around, planning to buy some more poultry for space.

Just as she thought, she found a farmer in a part of the market. There was a paper box in front of him, which contained a group of cute ducks.Ducks and chickens are similar when they are young. They are both very cute types that make people unable to walk after seeing them.

Bai Meixi naturally couldn't resist this temptation, and she originally wanted to buy poultry, so she knelt down and asked.

"How do you sell this duck?"

"Girl, this duck is two cents apiece, no negotiation. Do you want it?"

The other party quickly told the price. What Bai Meixi thought was that the price was indeed not high, and the quantity she purchased was not large, so she did not counter-offer and asked directly, "How many do you have in total?"

Looking at the ducks, there were probably not many of them. She wanted to buy them all back.

"There are 20 of them in total. They cost 4 yuan. If you want them, take them with you in the carton."

The other party also answered quickly. Seeing that Bai Meixi didn't put anything for ducks, this cardboard box could avoid a lot of trouble.

In fact, it didn't matter whether Bai Meixi wanted this carton or not, but she didn't want to say anything more, so she took out the money and bought it.When she was carrying the little duck, she was thinking that such a small duck needs an old duck to carry it, otherwise it will not survive. It seems that she needs to buy some bigger ducks.

Big ducks are easy to find. She quickly found a place and bought a pair of ducks. The other party asked for two yuan, but she didn't say much. She bought 22 ducks for a total of six yuan, which was actually a lot for her. A good deal.Because when these ducks grow up, their value is much more than that.

Besides, with these ducks, I can also eat duck meat during the Chinese New Year. Then I can make beer duck and braised vegetables, which are delicious just thinking about it.
