After they finished eating the chili peppers, Dashuan and the others started eating the chicken.

Wow, it’s so delicious. The meat is so fragrant and tender. When I put it in my mouth, I feel like I’m going to become an immortal.

It turns out my mother’s cooking skills are so good.

Zhao Qiqi was very happy to receive their admiration, but she did not show it on her face.

"Well, you guys, it turns out you were the ones who stole my chickens."

"How shameless, Aunt Zhao! You can't afford to eat your own chicken, so you just steal other people's chickens to have fun, right? Oh my God, is there anyone who can help us?"

Aunt Li's sharp and aggressive voice came straight out.

Aunt Li sat in their yard and started crying with tears and snot.

"Hey, come and see, the whole family is thieves."

Li Quan also followed soon after, with an unfriendly look on his face.

Now that his mother is here, he is not afraid of Aunt Zhao.

"Aunt, what are you doing? We can talk it out if you have anything to say." Dashuan tried to pull Aunt Li up, but was pushed away.

"What's there to say? My son lost a chicken and now you are eating chicken. Where did you get it? You must have stolen it."

"Aunt Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You said your son lost a chicken. So, is it a wild chicken or a domestic chicken?"

Aunt Li answered without hesitation: "The pheasant, the one you know."

"So it's the pheasant." Zhao Qiqi gave Li Quan a fake smile and said, "Aunt, please be careful. This chicken of ours is a domestic chicken. Besides, your son said that whoever catches the pheasant owns it. There is no reason for others to steal your chicken."

Santu had already taken the hair that Hu Lan had plucked and placed it in front of Aunt Li.

"Auntie, please look carefully. You can tell what kind of chicken this is, right?" Santu said to Aunt Li in a bad tone.

When Aunt Li saw them produce the evidence, she did not show any sign of shame. Instead, she muttered, "Who knows where you stole the chickens from." Then she grabbed Li Quan by the collar and went home.

"You!" Ersha was so angry that he was about to chase after him, but was pulled back by Santu.

"Okay, let's eat."

As soon as the head of the family spoke, everyone ate obediently.

You won’t feel hungry if you are full. Mom said she won’t eat dinner.

As expected, they spent money lavishly and ran out of food. Everyone sighed in their hearts and wondered whether they should save some for dinner.

But it is so delicious. Every bite of meat should be paired with a mouthful of white rice. It is so fragrant.

Zhao Qiqi put down her bowl. Everyone else had already finished eating. Even Yunyun, such a small person, finished a large bowl of food while humming softly.

Dashuan and Ersha then went to fetch water from the well to water the soil. Without any extra tools, they had to make several trips.

Santu went to loosen the soil, and Sipang followed Yunyun to help Hu Lan clean up the dishes and sweep the floor.

Zhao Qiqi returned to her room and did not close the door. Through the light from the door, she saw a pair of eyes in the corner.

"Cluck."

The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

The smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts to her.

The pheasant was obedient and didn't move.

There was no provocation from the morning, and the chicken was gone.

[Wild reed chicken, 250 catties for coins, are you sure you want to sell it?]

【confirm】

Zhao Qiqi looked at the door. Everyone was busy with their own things and no one looked at her.

She put away the 250 coins and added the remaining coin, now she had 251 coins.

[Purchase pepper seedlings, potatoes, tomato seedlings, garlic, and onion seeds, a total of 40 cents]

The land in the yard spans the north and south of the yard and is not small, so buying seeds is naturally expensive.

Zhao Qiqi divided the land into four plots, one for growing vegetables, one for growing tomatoes, one for growing potatoes, and one third each for growing garlic, onions, and peppers.

"Mom, the vegetable seeds you asked me to plant last time have been planted."

Zhao Qiqi nodded with satisfaction: "Let's plant these seedlings, right?"

Hu Lan nodded repeatedly. She knew one of them, but she didn't dare to ask what the other one was. She guessed that she could just plant it like the other seedlings.

"Si Pang, Yun Yun, one of you digs a small hole, and the other one makes a small nest."

Santu went to weed the two acres of land at home.

The two children were also working hard, especially Yunyun. Although Yunyun was a twin of Sipang, she was much thinner than him, but she worked just as well as Sipang.

Zhao Qiqi walked to the open-air stove, where there was a wooden board for cutting vegetables.

Take out a kitchen knife and cut out the parts with eyes, which will almost fill up the pot. There is no need to waste the remaining potatoes, you can just steam them and eat them.

When she returned to the vegetable garden, Sipang Yunyun had already prepared it according to her requirements.

"Mom, let us help you plant the seeds." Yunyun looked at Zhao Qiqi timidly, wanting to do as much as possible.

Zhao Qiqi gave the garlic to Yunyun, and she and Sipang planted potatoes together.

Just stick one end of the garlic into the soil.

"Sipang, put the cut side of the potato underneath, with the eyes facing up."

Si Pang nodded. It turned out that this thing was called potato. He had never seen it cooked in this way before.

First put all the potatoes into the pit, and then cover them with a layer of soil.

Zhao Qiqi picked up the ladle and scooped a ladle of water from the half-full water tank.

Sprinkle the water in mid-air so that the water will be more evenly distributed and the soil will not easily clump.

While working, Hu Lan glanced at Zhao Qiqi. She wouldn't be surprised even if her mother followed them to grow crops.

"Mom, I've finished planting too." Yunyun looked at Zhao Qiqi with curved eyes.

"great."

Yunyun was very happy. This was the first time her mother praised her and touched her head.

But then she felt a little depressed. She hadn't washed her hair for a long time, and her mother usually didn't let her wash it often, which was a waste of time.

Her mother just touched her and she wiped her hands secretly. Her mother must be disgusted with her.

"Mom, I'm going to collect firewood!"

Seeing that the little girl was in high spirits, she didn't ask her if she was tired.

"Drink some water before you go."

"Yeah." Mother is so gentle. Is mother caring about her?

Yunyun happily pulled Sipang out and ran a long way without realizing it.

"Xiaowu, I'm so tired. You ran too fast."

Wow

Dashuan and Ersha poured the well water they brought back into the water tank. The well was very close to them and they had made several trips back and forth. This was the last trip and the water tank was full.

Then they went to fetch water from the well and bring it to the fields, but the fields were quite far away.

Zhao Qiqi thought about it and decided not to stop them. Farmers rely on the fields for their livelihood. If they were not allowed to go, they would feel uneasy. If they went, they would know what the situation was like.

There was no one to light the fire for her, and she was really not familiar with it.

Hu Lan was still busy in the vegetable garden.

She picked up the fire starter next to her and blew into it.

He took out some easily ignitable grass, lit it and quickly threw it in, then added firewood.

Seeing that the fire was slowly stabilizing, Zhao Qiqi scooped up a bucket of water and poured it into the pot, making a sizzling sound.

Place a bamboo steamer on the stove, put the peeled potatoes in it and steam it.
