Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the village chief finally spoke in a very deep voice: "Girl Yue, I'm not saying anything discouraging, it's just that many families in the village can't afford to raise a duckling. Not to mention that a duckling costs a penny, we can't even afford to feed the duckling. Besides, people don't have food, let alone ducklings."

"Grandpa Village Chief, I know exactly what you're worried about. In fact, this isn't difficult to solve. Not to mention that ducks can eat locusts, they can also go to the river to eat small fish and shrimps."

"I am also worried that there will be nothing for the ducks to eat after the locusts leave. We can catch more locusts in advance and dry them into dried locusts to feed the ducks."

"If that doesn't work, after the locust plague, if any family in the village doesn't want to continue raising locusts, I can buy them out at the market price, so the villagers won't suffer any loss."

As soon as Li Mengyue finished speaking, the village chief's frown instantly relaxed and his mouth opened, his smile couldn't be hidden.

"It seems that the ancestors did not lie to me. A noble person has indeed come to the village." The village chief thought proudly.

"That girl Yue, I can convince the villagers to raise ducks, but..."

It was really difficult to say what he was about to say. The village chief had the words on the tip of his tongue, and after "chewing" them several times, he just couldn't say them.

Li Mengyue noticed the village chief's embarrassment, but she didn't intend to ask directly.

Because there are still many things that require the village chief. If the two of them don't communicate well and the village chief hides things from her, uncontrollable things may easily happen.

She always liked to take matters into her own hands, so she naturally would not allow such a thing to happen. So she sat on the chair, not showing any intention of speaking.

In fact, the problem that Village Chief Li wanted to talk about was not very difficult for Li Mengyue. On the contrary, she could use the unlimited breeding base she won in the lottery.

"Girl Yue, let me be frank. Even if every household wants to raise ducks, where can they get so many ducklings?"

"You don't know, there aren't many people selling ducklings in town. Most families prefer to raise chickens, especially hens. They can save the eggs they lay and sell them in town to supplement their household income."

When Li Mengyue heard that it was about ducklings, she said word by word: "Grandpa Village Chief, don't worry, I can get enough ducklings."

Village chief Li originally thought that since it was the ancestor who sent a message in his dream, he should tell his benefactor, who might be able to find a way to solve the problem of ducklings.

He tried to bring it up, but unexpectedly he got an answer that satisfied him.

"Great! Now that we have ducklings, every household can raise ducks."

"Then can I arrange for the villagers to catch locusts?"

"Grandpa Village Chief, of course you can."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Village Chief Li stood up and was about to walk out the door.

But before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by the village chief's wife.

"Hey, old man, where are you going? The meal is ready. You can get busy after you finish eating."

The village chief waved his hand to his daughter-in-law and said anxiously: "I have something urgent to do. You can eat first and don't wait for me."

Then he walked quickly out the door, and the village head's wife couldn't stop him even if she called him.

Having lived with the village chief for so many years, she knew her husband's character very well. It must be something important that made him not even have time to eat.

"Girl Yue, your village chief grandpa is just like that, don't mind it. We'll eat first since he's not here."

Li Mengyue also knew that the village chief was busy raising ducks, but she just had a new idea.

Even if every household in the village raises ducks, raising ten ducks per family is already a lot.

There are only four or five hundred people in the entire Xinghua Village, with an average family size of six, and only about eighty households.

What's more, in this era, families basically do not separate, and a family may have more than a dozen people, so the number would be even smaller, and the number of ducks raised would not be many.

"Grandma Li, how many households are there in our village?"

"Girl Yue, our village has 15 households and people. It is considered a relatively small village in Qingshan Town. You should know that there are villages in the whole town. It's sad..."

After hearing what Grandma Li said, Li Mengyue felt that it was necessary for her to build a farm. In addition to raising ducks, she could also raise chickens.

The locust snack thing can be made for a while, and once everyone knows that locusts are edible, she won't have to do it anymore.

However, the breeding farm still needs to be opened, otherwise it would be a shame to have an infinite breeding base in the space.

"What's wrong, Yue girl, what's the matter?" The village chief's wife asked in confusion.

"It's okay, Village Chief, I'm just asking casually."

Seeing that Li Mengyue did not look like anything was wrong, he began to warmly invite Li Mengyue to have dinner.

Li Mengyue saw that in addition to the stewed rabbit meat, there was also a dish of stir-fried vegetables, steamed buns made of two-grain flour, multi-grain porridge mixed with white rice, and a bowl of steamed egg custard placed in front of her.

Looking at the food, Li Mengyue understood that Grandma Li had taken out the best things in the house to entertain her.

Although she had eaten countless delicacies from land and sea, she really felt that the food on the table in front of her was delicious.

"Girl Yue, come here. This piece of meat has no bones. Don't be polite. Eat it quickly."

She was very touched when she saw Grandma Li holding the serving chopsticks and picking up a piece of good meat for her.

But she also knew that Grandma Li and her family hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Today, she had eaten a big pot of chicken stew, so she was not really hungry.

So he pushed the egg custard at hand to Zebao.

"Zebao, Sister Yue can't finish this bowl of egg custard, can you help her eat it?"

Even though Zebao is a child, the treasure of the family, he hasn't eaten egg custard for a long time.

Although he wanted to eat it very much, he also knew that it was made by his grandmother specifically for Sister Yue, and he couldn't eat it.

"Sister Yue, please eat quickly. Zebao doesn't feel like eating."

As he said this, he sucked his saliva.

Li Mengyue felt so distressed when she saw that Zebao clearly wanted to eat but was trying hard to restrain himself. Without saying anything, she picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of egg custard, and fed it into Zebao's mouth.

Zebao suddenly tasted the fragrant and soft egg custard. He was reluctant to swallow it all at once. He tasted it carefully and said to Li Mengyue, "Sister Yue, the egg custard is so delicious!"

Li Mengyue touched Zebao's head with her other hand and said softly, "If Zebao likes it, just eat more. Give all the rest to Zebao, okay?"

Seeing that Li Mengyue really didn't want to eat, Zebao nodded his little head and said considerately, "Sister Yue doesn't like it, Zebao will finish it for Sister Yue."

Seeing how deliciously Zebao was eating, Li Mengyue praised him, "Good boy, this is a good child."

The village chief's wife saw her grandson happily eating the egg custard, opened her mouth, said nothing, and sighed. She also felt sorry for her grandson.

Then he said to Li Mengyue embarrassedly: "Yue girl, look, that's the egg custard that Grandma Li steamed for you, and you gave it to Zebao."

"Grandma Li, I like little Zebao. I am happy if Zebao likes to eat."

Although Li Mengyue didn't eat much at this meal, she enjoyed it very much and realized firsthand how difficult life was for the villagers.

After all, in the eyes of the villagers, the conditions of the village chief's family are already very good, but in her opinion, if they can't even guarantee food and clothing, then what's good about it?

In this case, the establishment of the breeding farm should start as soon as possible.

After dinner, Li Mengyue agreed with the village chief’s wife to help find someone and go to the house to work the next day, and then went home.
