We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

The little girl's eyes were sparkling, and I don't know what she was thinking about. There was also a hint of timidity in her eyes.

Cheng Yue said softly: "If you have any ideas, just tell me, as long as they are good for chickens and ducks, I will adopt them.

Besides, although I bought the chickens and ducks, you guys should help take care of them. If there are any problems, it would be better if we discuss it together."

Cuicui felt encouraged, and her voice became much clearer. "Aunt Cheng Yue, I think with so many chickens and ducks, it's best to mark them, to prevent anyone from having bad intentions and making it hard to explain."

If her grandma hadn't made a fuss today, she wouldn't have thought of this solution. The reason why her grandma made things difficult for Aunt Cheng Yue was because of conjunctivitis.

Now they are helping to raise chickens and ducks, and there is no guarantee that her grandmother will not do something weird. Even without her grandmother, there may be other people with bad intentions.

Regardless, it's always better to be on guard.

Zhao Xiangxiu slapped her thigh and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

The more Cheng Yue looked at Cuicui, the more satisfied she was. She thought she had found the right person. Although she was young, she had a very smart mind. She couldn't help but praise her, "Cuicui is really smart. This is a good idea."

In fact, Cuicui and she had the same idea. The mark must be made.

After all, ducks are often released into the river, and it would be very troublesome if they were mixed with other people's ducks and could not be distinguished.

Although there are few people raising chickens and ducks in the village now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

The most important thing is to be on guard against others and mark your private property so that if someone really steals it, there will be evidence.

When Cuicui was praised by Cheng Yue, her little face instantly turned red, but her eyes became even more curved with a smile.

She likes Aunt Cheng Yue so much!

Zhao Xiangxiu rubbed Cuicui's head, feeling very relieved. Then she thought of another question, "What should I use as a mark?"

Cheng Yue already had the answer to this question, so she said, "Just dye it with paint."

She knew that modern farms used plastic leg rings for marking, which would be completely impossible nowadays.

But you can dye it, since there are plenty of oil-based pens in the space, including red, black and blue.

Its characteristic is that it is not easily soluble in water, making it the most suitable solution and the first method she thought of.

Zhao Xiangxiu pondered for a moment and said hesitantly, "We don't have any paint here. I'm afraid we can only go out and buy some. Not only will it cost money, but the paint will fade easily.

The chickens are fine, but the ducks are always flopping around in the water, so the color won’t stick.”

"It's okay. I just bought some paint today. The boss said it won't fade. I think it's pretty rare. Let's take a look at it together."

Cheng Yue couldn't explain the oil-based markers in detail to Zhao Xiangxiu and the others, so she could only say this.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiangxiu and her friends had never been to the county town, so even if they just bought it casually, they wouldn't think too much about it.

I can't say this is bullying an honest person...

As Cheng Yue spoke, she pulled the two of them towards the yard, then she went into the house and took out two red oil-based pens from the space, tore off the plastic film on the outside, leaving only two bare red round sticks, and then she walked out.

"Look, this is it. It looks quite strange."

Chen An smiled aside and acted quite realistically.

Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui took it and looked at it from left to right, wondering, "What is this thing made of? It's neither iron nor wood, and it feels smooth to the touch."

Cheng Yue lied easily, "Who knows? We haven't seen it either. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it works."

"Well, let's try it. Eh? How do I use this? Why can't I draw any colors?"

Zhao Xiangxiu took a pen and scratched the back of her hand twice. She just felt pain, but there was no color at all.

Cheng Yue opened the lid and handed it over: "Use it this way, try it again this time."

Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui exclaimed at the same time: "How bizarre! There's something hidden inside?"

Cheng Yue touched her nose. She looked so surprised, and actually a little cute.

"It's really colorful! I can't rub it off with my hands!" Zhao Xiangxiu rubbed it hard with her thumb a few times. The flesh turned red, but the color didn't fade. Her eyes widened.

Cheng Yue then went to the kitchen and scooped out a bucket of water, and asked the two to wash it with water. Seeing that it couldn't be washed off, she pretended to be surprised and said, "You are really not afraid of water. It seems that the boss is not lying!"

Cuicui curled her eyes and said, "Great! Now the ducks won't be afraid of going into the water anymore!"

Zhao Xiangxiu was also very excited, "Let's go paint the chickens and ducks now!"

"It's almost dark, let's do it tomorrow. Let's talk about the wages first, and then you can go home and eat."

After chatting for quite some time, they forgot to mention the wages. Zhao Xiangxiu and the others didn't even ask about it, but were busy taking care of the chickens and ducks. Cheng Yue felt helpless.

Zhao Xiangxiu looked at the sky and joked, "We were so happy that we forgot the time. As for wages, you said you could give us a full meal, so the amount doesn't matter."

As they were talking, Chen Lin and his two sisters came back carrying grass. Seeing Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui were also there, they knew that Cheng Yue and the others were talking about serious matters, so they greeted them and went about their own business.

Instead, Chen Lin glanced at Cuicui secretly, then went to feed the cows with a red face.

Cuicui caught a glimpse of Chen Lin's little movement out of the corner of her eye, her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head a little bit.

Seeing this secret thought, Cheng Yue wanted to ship the couple, but when she thought about the fact that this was her own son's, and a teenager at that, she felt a little reluctant to ship the couple.

Looking at Zhao Xiangxiu again, she was holding a pen in her hand, looking at her with a clear and simple look in her eyes.

Cheng Yue held back her laughter. It seemed that Zhao Xiangxiu was even more dull than her.

He coughed lightly and got straight to the point, "There aren't many chickens and ducks now, so the wages won't be too high. If we calculate it at 20 cents a day, you and Cuicui will be the same.

The first three months are paid on a daily basis, and from the fourth month onwards, it will be paid monthly. As we raise more chickens and ducks, the wages will increase.”

She knew that Zhao Xiangxiu had a hard life, her family had no money, and she was also worried about her child's marriage. She paid her on a daily basis for the first three months so that she would have money in her hands and feel at ease.

It will be paid monthly thereafter for ease of calculation.

Zhao Xiangxiu broke off her fingers for a long time after hearing this, and after she figured it out, she couldn't close her mouth, "Mom, six hundred coins a month, the two of us together make more than a billion silver coins!

No, no, Sister Cheng Yue, you're giving too much! It's just 500 chickens and ducks, you can just take care of them casually, why do you need so much money? "

She originally thought that three or five cents a day would be enough, but she didn't expect Cheng Yue to speak like this. She had been frightened enough by Cheng Yue, and now she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Cuicui was even more stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment. Aunt Cheng Yue actually gave her and her mother more than one or two taels of silver every month?

What is this concept?

Families with slightly better conditions in the village would ask for a dowry of about six taels when marrying a wife, while those with poorer conditions would only need two or three taels.

If Aunt Cheng Yue gives them money like this, they can save up for half a year and then they won’t have to worry about their two brothers’ marriages!

But they cannot accept this money. Aunt Cheng Yue is obviously taking care of them. If they still take money that does not belong to them, wouldn’t that be heartless?

Their family is short of money, but they can't take just any money.
