The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Don't worry, we'll just raise one or two. If anyone reports it, we can say we plan to eat them in a couple of days. Besides, there are many people around here who are secretly raising them, and they're all fine. If you're still afraid, just keep them in the house first. Our house is big enough to accommodate them all."

His wife is beautiful, kind, gentle, and considerate. Now he can help her broaden her horizons.

Chen Li was stunned. She didn't expect Su Yun to say such a thing.

"What's wrong? Do you think what I said makes sense?"

"That's true, but...but I'm still scared."

"Do you think it is right or wrong to not allow private livestock breeding?"

"I don't think it's right."

Chen Li thought for a while and said this.

"I don't think it's right either."

Su Yun guided her by asking a few more questions, and Chen Li answered them very well. She was not a stubborn person, and her thinking was quickly reversed.

The two of them walked and talked until they came to the vegetable market. Occasionally, there would be some farmers from the countryside coming to the market at the entrance of the market. If she was lucky, she could buy the chicken she wanted here.

After searching for a while, I finally found an old rural man with tattered clothes and an old face in the corner of the market entrance.

In front of him was a bamboo basket with some chicks in it.

Their family had originally planned to raise these chicks to sell for money, but things did not go as they wished. Their little granddaughter fell ill and they were in urgent need of money. Almost everything that could be sold at home was sold, and only these chicks were left, which he took to the city to sell.

But because they were little chicks, no one was willing to buy them. Only two or three people asked about the price in the whole morning, but no one was willing to pay.

"Uncle, how much are the chicks?"

"One dime each."

He wanted to say 15 cents, but was afraid of scaring away the only customer, so he changed it to 10 cents per piece.

Chen Li picked out a few. According to her, they were all little hens. When they grew up, they would lay eggs every day for them to eat. No one knew how she could tell the gender of these chicks.

"Is there anything else you want?"

Chen Li shook her head, she had almost bought everything.

After walking around twice more, seeing that there was really nothing to buy, he took her away.

But after she came out, her expression was a little strange, as if she was very scared.

"Is that place so scary?" Su Yun felt funny.

"I, I don't know."

Chen Li said, feeling that she had been a little cowardly just now.

"Did you see someone familiar?"

He saw that Chen Li's eyes changed.

"I saw one, it was my high school teacher."

Looking in the direction of Chen Li's hand, she saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a bald head.

The man was walking out with some vegetables in his hands.

"The teacher is the teacher, there's no need to be so scared."

He had seen this man before. He had bought eggs from him several times in the black market. He was a very impressive person.

"Comrade, you are here too."

The man recognized Su Yun immediately when he saw him.

"Yes, are you here to buy groceries?"

"Yeah, why haven't I seen anyone selling eggs these days?"

"My wife is pregnant. I have been accompanying her these days and have no time to go there."

"You're pregnant! Congratulations."

"I should be there again next week. I'll save as much as you want for you in advance."

"Several of my colleagues really want it, at least ten kilograms," the man said after thinking for a while.

"Ten pounds? No problem, I'll keep it for you when the time comes."

"Chen Li?" The man was about to reply to Su Yun when he noticed Chen Li next to him.

"Hello, Teacher Qin." Chen Li greeted her rather awkwardly.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. What a coincidence. Oh, why don't you go to school? You have such good grades. What a pity. What a pity."

"I'm sorry, teacher, I disappoint you."

"Hey, you are the one I am most optimistic about among all the students in your class. Wang Yunhai from your class has always had worse grades than you, but he still passed the exam. If you take the exam, you will definitely get a good score."

Chen Li's eyes turned red when she recalled the situation at that time.

"Why are you with this little comrade?"

"It turned out to be Teacher Qin. I married her this year."

"You two are getting married! That's good, getting married is also a good choice." Teacher Qin sighed.

"Teacher Qin, since you are Chen Li's teacher, you are my teacher. Where is your home? I will have someone send the eggs to you tomorrow."

"How can I accept this?" Teacher Qin said.

"Why not? Don't you have a colleague who wants to buy eggs? Send them together." Su Yun said.

"Well, the price will remain the same as before. It's not easy for you guys."

After telling Su Yun an address, they chatted for a few more words. Teacher Qin was anxious to go home to cook for the children, so she left.

"Lili, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Su Yun hurriedly supported her and took her to find a place to sit down.

"I'm fine. Teacher Qin is a nice person and took good care of me when I was in school." Chen Li said with a sigh.

"I think he is a kind person, so I'll give him a few more eggs when the time comes," said Su Yun.

"We've almost finished buying things, let's go back."

"Okay, let's go back."

The sun was setting, so they didn't want to stay here any longer and started walking back.

After walking for a while, he saw some Beibingyang soda being sold on the roadside. He also noticed beads of sweat on Chen Li's forehead, so he went to buy a few bottles for her to quench her thirst.

"Why are you spending money on soda again? It's so expensive."

"It's okay, I'll buy you whatever price you like."

The basket is filled with numerous little chicks with golden fluff, chirping non-stop, which are pleasing to the eye.

On the way back, Su Yun was the one carrying things, but he didn't sweat much. Instead, Chen Li was sweating all over and her little face was red, which made Su Yun feel distressed. He wondered whether he should see where to buy an electric fan.

By the way, there should have been electric fans for home use during this period, right? I'll go to the black market and check it out someday.

"Should we find something to cover the chicken so no one can see it?"

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Li still felt a little guilty, even though Su Yun had repeatedly assured her that nothing would go wrong.

"wait."

After handing the things to Chen Li, he turned around and went to a deserted place. When he came out again, there was an opaque bag in his hand. This thing was used to store food, but now it was used to store chickens.

"Now you can rest assured, no one else can see it."

"Uh-huh!"

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Then let's go back. It's almost time to prepare dinner. What do you want to eat later?"

Chen Li touched her stomach and found that she was indeed hungry, but she had no appetite.

"How about I make you some steamed dumplings with radish, vermicelli and shrimp skin."

Chen Li likes steamed dumplings with this filling the most. In her eyes, it tastes better than meat and is very fresh!

"it is good!"

Chen Li felt hungry when she heard it and agreed immediately.

"I'll boil two more salted duck eggs for you."

The salted duck eggs are the most delicious at this time and not too salty. There is still a lot of oil after being cut. If you continue to pickle them, I’m afraid the salt seller will be beaten to death.

In the courtyard, every household is preparing for tonight's dinner, and the air is filled with various smells.

After returning home, Su Yun kneaded the dough and made the stuffing, while Chen Li put the chicks she brought back into a homemade nest. Then she took two bowls, added water to one and put a handful of millet in the other.

When the little chicks saw the food, they swarmed over and started eating with a chirping sound.

When the dogs saw the new member in the family, they came over curiously.

Chen Li thought of the little rabbit and slapped them in annoyance.

"None of you are allowed to hurt them, or I will catch you all and throw you away! Got it?"

All the dogs are very smart, and they have drunk the magical spring water, so their intelligence level is almost the same as that of Border Collies.

Seeing this, I hurriedly agreed. They can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

Only then did Chen Li leave satisfied.
