Chapter 4 Mother...and Chick
To the west of the market are vendors selling vegetables, and Chen Anan dragged Ning Bao inside. At first, she was still wondering, why not?But when she reached the westernmost point, even though she was an adult, she cried out excitedly.

"Uncle, how do you sell these green onion seedlings?" A large pile of bundled green onion seedlings was placed in front of the uncle, and Chen Anan's mother and son squatted there, looking left and right.

The uncle was knocking on a piece of pancake, seeing Chen An'an beating like this, he also replied with a smile on his face: "Girl, this green onion seedling is worth two cents a bundle."

Chen An'an heard that it was so cheap, so he cheerfully bought two bundles.She carried the onion seedlings on the quilt, and was about to stand up when she suddenly frowned, and then asked the uncle onion seedlings: "Uncle, do you know that there is no vegetable seed seller here?"

When the uncle heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He didn't care about the pancakes stuffed in his mouth, so he pulled them out of the bag behind him. After a long time, Chen An'an's legs were sore. The paper package came with something scratched on it.

"Girls seldom go to the market, right? In the big fair in Xiping Village, only my old Litou sells seeds. However, these seeds are more expensive than green onion seedlings. A bundle of green onion seedlings costs only two pennies, and this small bag is also two pennies." " Old Li was still worrying about how to explain, but Chen An'an couldn't listen to it at this time, and bought five kinds of vegetable seeds in one go.

When he was about to walk out of the market, Ning Bao's body suddenly froze, his small head was raised up, and he looked at Ning Bao with big eyes.

Chen Anan leaned over, touched her son's little face, and said with a smile: "Baby, what do you want, mother will buy it for you!"

"Mother, and... little chicken!" Ning Bao originally wanted to hold back, but when the little guy thought about the fluffy thing he had seen before, he opened his mouth after thinking about it, but, seeing Chen An An had already carried so many things on her back, and as soon as she said the words, Ning Bao regretted it.

"That's right, that's right, I forgot about it, my Ning Bao has a good memory." Chen An'an leaned over and smacked the little guy's face, then rushed back like a wind pulling Ning Bao.

After half an hour,
Chen An'an was carrying a bag of things, while Ning Bao was carrying a small basket, and there was a chattering sound coming from inside. He was so attentive that he had to poke his head in from time to time.

"Silly boy, a few little chickens are so happy."

……

Back home, Chen An'an was busy working on the stove, while Ning Bao threw himself on the chicken coop full of heart.

In the kitchen, Chen An'an put all the rice and noodles in the tank, and put down the seeds and green onion seedlings, and then began to refine the oil.It seems that there is no such thing as peanut oil here, so the lard made from this fat can also be used.

After finishing all these, Chen An'an glanced at the little guy who was having fun outside through the door, lowered his eyes and was quiet, this kid knew hard work earlier, and he would not act like a baby like other kids, thinking of this, She felt that she still had to take her time, as the days got better and everything got better.

"Ning Bao..." Through the door, Chen Anan called out.

Hearing this, the little guy squatting beside the chicken coop ran to Chen An'an's side, his small body pressed against his mother's, raised his head and asked, "Mother, what do you want to do with Ning Bao? "

Chen Anan squatted down and handed a small bowl to Ning Bao, which was mixed with wild vegetable leaves and some bran. Seeing that Ning Bao was ignorant, she said softly to Ning Bao: "Ning Bao, you take These things are going to feed the little chickens, they can’t eat too much now, you give it according to your weight, huh?”

The more Ning Bao listened, the brighter his eyes became, and finally ran out with a small bowl.

After cleaning up, Chen Anan sat in the yard holding the green onion seedlings, picked up some not so good ones, and then planted the rest in the small vegetable bed in the yard, even planting the vegetable seeds with them. down.

In the 21st century, Chen An'an relied on this to make a living. Because she grew up in the countryside and had fields or orchards at home, she directly chose agronomy when she was in university and graduate school.In modern times, perhaps this profession is not so popular, but in ancient times, it is useful.Now, when everything in this small family is settled down, she decides to make a big splash.

……

"Mother, mother, the little chick has eaten all the food." After dinner, Chen Anan took Ning Bao's hand and went out for a walk. Holding Chen An'an's hand, he smiled happily, looking like an innocent child.

Chen An'an was very happy to see what her son said, and the beaming look was very pleasing, she couldn't help bending down and pinching his son's cheek, thinking, this is his son, he is too young to know that things are difficult, even though he is Forced by the situation, the innocence of a child was lost after all.

"Then these little chickens will be handed over to you, okay? Will you raise them well?" Chen Anan asked Ning Bao with a soft smile while holding the child's hand.

Ning Bao nodded greatly, but the child suddenly lost his voice again.

"What's wrong?" Chen An'an didn't understand why the child suddenly became quiet.

"Mother?" Ning Bao raised his head, his eyes were full of pity, and his voice became softer: "Mother, the chickens have grown up, you won't kill them, will you?"

"Pfft." Chen An'an burst out laughing, but seeing the child staring at her, she squatted down, stretched out her finger to Ning Bao very solemnly, and said with a smile: "Come on, mother will hook you up, little girl!" Do you believe that chickens are made to lay eggs to catch worms when they grow up?"

Ning Bao's little finger also hooked up, with a look of peace of mind on his face. Seeing this, Chen An'an couldn't bear it any longer, and directly smacked the little guy's face. It was this kiss that obviously confused Ning Bao. Yes, she stood there blankly, her small ears were already so red.

When the mother and son were playing like this, Chen Anan suddenly smelled a very familiar smell. She looked around, and finally found something strange in the yard of the family in front.

"Mother?" Chen Anan dragged Ning Bao to go to the family, Ning Bao was a little worried.

"Baby, don't worry, mother will find you something delicious to drink." After finishing speaking, Chen Anan took Ning Bao's hand and knocked on the family's wooden door.

Sister-in-law Lin was busy tidying up the pigsty in the yard when she heard a knock on the door. She wiped her hands hastily before opening the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a pair of beautiful mother and son standing outside the door. Chen Anan looked at her with bright eyes, while the little guy's eyes were shifting between the two of them, as if he didn't know the front, back, left, and right. .

"Is it An'an? What can I do for you?" Mrs. Lin said this very politely. After all, after Chen An'an settled in Dongping Village, she rarely communicated with the villagers.It's just that, when she gave birth to the baby, Mrs. Lin also went to help.

"Sister-in-law, I have something I want to discuss with you." Chen Anan said to Sister-in-law Lin very naturally with a smile on her face.
