Chapter 49 Selling Chickens
Chapter 49 Selling Chickens
The air in Xiaolinggang chicken farm today is exceptionally fresh.It rained a little yesterday, and today the leaves on the mountain are bright green.

Chunmei followed behind her husband Congjun, picking a lot of fresh and blooming small wild flowers along the way.The mother-in-law Guo Lanying was too old to keep up with the pace of their young people, so she walked slowly behind.

"Should we wait for Mom?" Chunmei turned her head and saw that her mother-in-law had fallen far behind them.

Lu Congjun also stopped and looked behind him, but smiled and said: "No need to wait, she can walk slowly. She knows this road better than you, so don't worry."

Hearing what he said, Chunmei could only say "Oh".

"By the way, do you think it's okay for us to put this bunch of flowers in the living room of the hut in a while?" She smelled the bunch of wild flowers in her hand again and again, looked at Lu Congjun with a bright smile and asked.

Lu Congjun stretched out his hand to hold her other hand, and replied dotingly: "Okay, I'll find you a bottle to put in it when I get to the top of the mountain."

Chunmei nodded again and again, feeling sweet in her heart.

When the two reached the top of the mountain, the sun was already shining.When several employees of the chicken farm saw the boss and his wife coming, they hurriedly stood up.

"Haven't the chicken been released?" Lu Congjun asked as soon as he came up.

"No, except for those that can't be slaughtered, the rest are closed." One of the workers said.

Lu Congjun nodded, then pointed to Lu Xiaosan who was beside him and shouted, "Go find a bottle for Sister Chunmei, try to look better."

Xiao San touched the back of his head, not knowing what kind of bottle to ask him to find.He glanced at the bouquet of wild flowers that Chunmei was holding, and then he had an epiphany and said, "Oh, I'm going now."

Chunmei was made to laugh a little by his appearance, she stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you." She was worried that this little kid might not be able to find a suitable one because of his silly appearance.

Xiaosan naturally wanted what she wanted, so he led Chunmei and ran to the hut in a nonchalant manner.

They first searched in the living room of the hut, and then they went to every room to look, but except for a few wine bottles, nothing was particularly suitable.

"It's really not, just this wine bottle." Seeing Xiaosan's somewhat depressed face, Chunmei didn't want to embarrass this little kid.

"Hey, I thought of it!" Xiao San's ashen face suddenly lit up, and he quickly ran to the kitchen.

Chunmei curiously followed him, and saw him groping under the kitchen cabinet for a while, and finally found a pickle jar.

"Sister Chunmei, what do you think of this?" Lu Xiaosan held the jar in his hand and showed it to Chunmei, his eyes were very bright.

Chunmei saw that the size of the jar was moderate, with a round body and a narrow mouth, it was almost tailor-made for the bouquet of flowers in her hand!
"This bottle is so good, how did you know you were looking for this?" She suddenly looked at this kid with admiration.

Lu Xiaosan scratched her head embarrassingly, and said shyly, "I've seen such flower arrangements in books, and I just remembered."

"Do you like reading?" Chunmei asked in surprise.In her opinion, he came to work on the chicken farm at such a young age, it must be because he doesn't like to study at home, and the family members are afraid that he will learn to be bad by doing nothing, so they let him come to the chicken farm to help.

Lu Xiaosan nodded, but then bowed his head and remained silent.

Chunmei felt strange, and asked him, since he likes reading, why doesn't he stop reading when he is fifteen or sixteen years old?

Unexpectedly, with this question, Lu Xiaosan buried his head even lower.He kept grabbing the hem of his clothes with a pair of sun-tanned and somewhat dirty hands, and after a while, he said in an extremely small voice: "I don't have parents anymore."

Chunmei was stunned by his words, and then felt sour in her heart—this child is still an orphan, it is really pitiful!

"Then you... have been living in the chicken farm, don't you have any other relatives?"

"I also have a grandma. I help out at the chicken farm and go home every day or two."

"Oh, like this."

Chunmei nodded thoughtfully, she didn't expect to see him bouncing around, and playing around with other workers in the chicken farm from time to time, his life experience was so bleak.

"Okay, I'll just insert the flowers in after I found the bottle, go ahead." Seeing him keeping his head down, Chunmei couldn't bear to see his pitiful self-abased look from the bottom of her heart.

Xiao San nodded, turned around and ran to help Congjun and the others.

Chunmei stood there looking at his thin back, thinking, this kid likes to read, if only I could help him.

After arranging the flowers, the mother-in-law Guo Lanying came to the hut panting heavily.When she saw a bouquet of flowers in full bloom in the living room today, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she smiled and asked Chunmei: "You picked these flowers, they are so beautiful!"

Chunmei also smiled and nodded, and replied, "Mom, so you like flowers too. When I first went up the mountain, I saw wild flowers blooming very well by the roadside, so I picked a handful."

Guo Lanying said, you young people still know how to live.

"By the way, Congjun and the others went to catch chickens, right?"

"Well, they're all over the chicken coop. I'm going to go there soon, Mom, you can sit here, the chicken coop over there smells great."

Chunmei placed the vase in the middle of the table, found an apron to put on herself, and then went to the chicken coop to help.Guo Lanying didn't want to sit alone in the living room, she said she was not afraid of the smell, so she wanted to go with her.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the door of the chicken coop, they could already smell a strong smell of chicken excrement.Chunmei stepped in without wrinkling her eyes or raising her nose, as if she had long been used to the smell.

"It's still too much to pretend, let me help." Chunmei rolled up her sleeves and was about to start working.

Lu Congjun couldn't help but chuckled when he saw her tiger-like appearance, she was not at all hypocritical.He asked the workers who were weighing the chickens to stop for a while, and he approached Chunmei with a counting notebook and pen and said, "The chickens are dirty and smelly, and it is very possible You will be scratched by the chicken paws, you go over there and pack the eggs, the eggs will be sold today."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being dirty or smelly." Chunmei smiled disapprovingly.

Lu Congjun saw her stubborn little temper come up again, so he winked at his mother Guo Lanying.Guo Lanying smiled, went up and took her daughter-in-law Chunmei's hand and said, "Let's go, pack eggs with Mom, this heavy work is not suitable for us."

Chunmei saw that her mother-in-law had come to pull her on her own initiative, so she had no choice but to follow.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the live chickens and fresh eggs have been packed, and they just need to be driven to the trading point in the county, and the transaction is considered complete.

In his spare time, Lu Congjun took the notebook and happily revealed to Chunmei in private: "This time selling chickens can make a net profit of this amount after excluding costs and labor." He held out three fingers in front of Chunmei. Shaking.

"Three thousand?" Chunmei asked in surprise.

Lu Congjun nodded with a smile.

Good guy, this is too profitable!Many people can't earn that much a year, but my husband can earn a net three thousand by selling chickens, tsk tsk tsk...

Chunmei's head was clouded, and she felt a little unreal—feeling that she married a tall, rich and handsome man!
"Would you like me to pinch your face for you?" Lu Congjun couldn't help teasing when he saw his wife was in a daze at the moment.

Chunmei shook her head, only realizing in a second that he was making fun of herself.She tapped his arm angrily, while Lu Congjun laughed happily.

"When I receive the money, I will give it to you for safekeeping!" After laughing, he whispered in her ear again.

Chunmei bit her lower lip shyly, and burst out laughing uncontrollably.
