Chapter 145 Giving Bird Eggs

"Sissi~."

"Hey, Uncle Luo~~."

"Sissi, who is he? Why do you call him uncle? Why don't I recognize him?"

"His name is Uncle Luo Cheng. You met him when you were at grandpa's house. Both grandpa and mom know each other. Uncle Luo gave you the rabbit. You must eat the rabbit when you come back, otherwise I will have two."

"Oh~~, this uncle gave me the rabbit. Hello uncle."

A very polite little boy, he was also quite cautious at first. When he saw Sissi talking to someone he didn't know, he immediately protected her from Sissi, for fear that there was a bad person. When they learned that both grandpa and mother knew the person in front of them, and that the rabbit was a gift from the person in front of them, they followed Sissi and called her uncle.

"Uncle Luo, you are here to see grandpa again. Grandpa is not at home, but my mother is."

"If you don't look for your grandpa, you won't look for anyone. I'm just looking for you. Uncle brought you something, do you want to see it?"

"think."

"Sissi, don't ask for other people's things."

"Mom said you can have this uncle's things."

Sissi's brother thought that calling Luo Cheng uncle was just a courtesy, and calling Luo Cheng uncle was just polite. When he heard his sister say that he could ask for Luo Cheng's things, even though he was only ten years old, he understood the meaning. He could really treat her as an uncle, at least not just a title.

Luo Cheng only had a jar in his hand, so after learning that he was giving something to Sissi, both Sissi and her brother stared at the jar in Luo Cheng's hand.

"Sissi, here is the jar for you. Uncle is gone. Next time there is something good, uncle will bring it to you."

"Oh, bye uncle."

Seeing that Luo Cheng was about to give the jar directly to her and leave, Sissi's curiosity turned to the jar. The child didn't know how to stay, so he hugged the jar and said goodbye to Luo Cheng excitedly. She was going to open the lid of the jar and see what was inside. Sissi's brother stood aside and wanted to see what this strange uncle had given his sister.

"Wow, there are so many small eggs."

"It's a bird egg, not an egg. Give me the jar, you might accidentally drop it."

"No, this is a little egg. My uncle gave it to me. My uncle doesn't even know you."

"Give it to me. This is for eating, not for playing. It will break."

"If you don't give it, it's all mine."

"Give it to me~."

"No."

  "Why are you two arguing outside the house again? Feng, are you bullying your sister again?"

"Mom, brother wants to steal my things."

"I didn't grab it, I was just afraid that Sissi would fall." Sissi's brother argued that in fact, he did want the eggs. If they were just eggs, he wouldn't be so interested. But bird eggs are different. You can use them to show off to your friends. Those who can get bird eggs are capable people.

Sissi's mother watched Sissi hugging a jar tightly, and she was also curious about who gave it to her and what was in it that her two children would fight over.

He took the jar directly from Sissi and asked Sissi who gave it to her. When she heard that it was Luo Cheng, she was still muttering in her heart why she didn't come into the house to sit there. She had a very good impression of the honest Luo Cheng.

When I opened the lid of the jar, I saw a jar of very small eggs. No wonder Sissi and her brother were fighting over it. Let them choose between an egg and a bird egg. Children from other families would definitely choose the bigger one. But they have eggs at their house. Although they don’t eat them casually, they can get about a kilogram a month.

The attractiveness of this bird's egg is naturally greater than that of the egg in the eyes of Sissi and her brother. And only children play with bird eggs. Has anyone seen anyone playing with eggs?

It's just that Sissi's mother didn't expect that Luo Cheng would give Sissi so many bird eggs. When people dig out bird's nests, it's good to get a few eggs from each nest. Even though this jar is small, it contains dozens of bird eggs. Boiling a few of these dozens of eggs every day can provide a lot of nutritional supplements to the children, and they can also play and eat.

Naturally, the jar was confiscated. Sissi's mother checked the time and, in order to prevent the two children from making a noise, said that they would cook it later and that each of them would eat four. If you hold it when it's cooked, you won't be afraid of breaking it, so you can play with it as you like.

Not long after, Dai Tiande came back from get off work on his bicycle, and Sissi's father also came back. For a family of five, eating is very simple. The food is slightly better than that of ordinary people, but it is impossible to eat refined grains every day.

In the evening, we have porridge with two dishes, fried beans and green vegetables. But there was an extra bowl of eggs on the table, a bowl of bird eggs. Originally, Sissi’s mother just wanted to cook a few for her children to eat. But seeing that there were a lot of them in the jar, the adults were also greedy and wanted to taste the difference in the taste of these eggs.

So Sissi’s mother simply cooked a bowl for everyone to try.

"Daughter-in-law, where did these bird eggs come from? Let me try one."

"Your father sent it to the brother you know he has never met."

"Here~~, are you trying to make friends with dad again? You didn't see anyone when you gave me a rabbit last time, and you're here to give me this again?"

"Don't think that everyone is so secular, okay? I think Luo Cheng is a very simple person. This time when they came, I was at home. They didn't even see me. I said hello to Sissi and gave her something. Sissi left. How can people from my hometown be so thoughtful?"

Dai Zhongmin, who was peeling bird eggs, paused when he heard his wife's words. Could it be that I am overthinking it and am not here to curry favor with my father?

After hearing this, Dai Tiande also expressed his opinion. Luo Cheng was able to come to work in the city because he had caught criminals and made meritorious service. It shows that his nature is very good, and when he took Luo Cheng to the machinery factory, the first person he took him to meet was the factory director. For more than half a month, Luo Cheng has not used his connections to go to the factory director once, even to get close to him.

What's more, Luo Cheng is only eighteen years old, and he comes from a rural area, so he is simple and honest. Don't let the loyal people see that anyone who gives something to the family is just trying to please him. Besides, the people in the city can't eat this bird's egg, but it's not just a nest in the countryside. We don't want the good cigarettes or wine from those people who gave us gifts. If Luo Chengzhen really wants to do something with our family, why don't we just use a few bird eggs to test his bottom line?

"It tastes almost like eggs, and quite delicious."

Seeing what his father said, Dai Zhongmin ate two eggs and expressed his opinion on the taste. In fact, it is a disguised recognition of what his father said. The supply of eggs has been tight recently, and it is a bit difficult for their family to get a pound of eggs a month. This jar of bird eggs is a good nutritional supplement for children.

If you have the opportunity to get to know each other again in the future, if the other party has difficulties, just help them appropriately. I just don’t know if these bird eggs are easy to dig out. It’s okay if the family eats less. The children’s nutrition needs to be supplemented.

Others haven't asked them to do anything yet, and I feel that for the sake of the children, they might have to speak first.

On the other side, Luo Cheng was not at home at this time. Instead, he and Section Chief Li had just come out from the director of the Human Resources Bureau. He only left a few eggs at home and delivered the rest. He also brought a rabbit over in a bag, and a jar of lard. It's a coincidence that the bicycle matter came to pass. It's almost the end of the month. The director knows several people who will be transferred out at the beginning of next month, and he will help find out if any of them want to sell their bicycles.

But this is just taking the lead and cannot force others to sell. At least Luo Cheng is willing to pay. A car that is [-]% new may be sold to an acquaintance for only [-]% to [-]%. Luo Chengmai may be eighty or ninety years old. For newer ones, it’s hundreds.

Regarding money, Luo Cheng naturally said it was no problem, but in fact, there was no problem himself. But he couldn't reveal that he was too rich. He planned to borrow money from everyone he knew when he came back from the countryside. If you don't borrow it, that's even better. Don't say anything to yourself in the future.
