Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 13 Duck Egg

After being irritated all night, Uncle Song was already starving. When he saw the steaming porridge, his expression softened and he praised, "Daya is still sensible."

As he said that, he glared at Song Tian in the yard: "You are nothing but a son of a bitch, you only know how to stir up trouble all day long!"

Li also picked up the bowl and drank the porridge with a sullen face, but Yang was so angry that she couldn't eat anything and was still crying in the yard.

Daya had no choice but to go out and pull her arm to persuade her: "Second Aunt, you should eat something. You didn't eat much just now. You have been busy all day. How can you hold on without eating?"

Li also advised Yang: "Second daughter-in-law, eat something. You still have to work in the fields tomorrow. If you don't eat, you will suffer."

Second Uncle Song glared at Song Tian angrily and cursed, "It's not worth it to get yourself hurt because of something like this..."

After everyone's persuasion, Yang finally went back to the house to eat.

Song Tian still stayed outside the yard and did not dare to enter the house.

The next day, the atmosphere in the Song family was unusually depressing. The three adults all had gloomy faces. Song Tian also became obedient and rushed to do all the work in the morning.

Although Daya did not make any mistakes, she still lived in fear, fearing that she had done something wrong. Only Song Yuan, after waking up from a sleep, forgot everything and followed her around heartlessly.

After breakfast, Uncle Song stopped Song Tian, who was about to go out with Qianniu, and threw a bamboo basket to him, "Come with me to catch yellow eels today."

Yellow eel is rich in nutrients and has high medicinal value. Rich families love to eat it and are generous with their money. In addition to selling grain crops for money every year, this is the Song family's largest source of income.

Thanks to Uncle Song's craftsmanship, the Song family not only bought oxen for working, but also raised ducks, becoming one of the more well-off families in the village.

Song Tian looked at the big yellow cow behind him blankly, "Who is going to herd that cow?"

Uncle Song glared at him and asked instead, "Shall I help you put it away?"

Song Tian shrank his neck and dared not say anything else.

Uncle Song took down his straw hat from the wall and put it on, then walked outside. When he passed by Song Tian, he pointed at him and said with gritted teeth, "Today I will teach you how to herd cattle myself. Let your son see that I will be like you, unable to even herd cattle alone!

I'm putting this on the table. Today, not only will we feed the cattle well, but we'll also catch a basket of yellow eels..."

Second Uncle Song walked in front, cursing, and Song Tian followed him out of the house dejectedly. Daya in the yard didn't dare to even breathe.

Alas, I wonder how long this atmosphere will last.

She washed the dishes quickly, wiped the water off her hands, and walked to the woodshed to get the backpack.

Her task today was to go to the river to wash clothes, which she had agreed with Lai Di and Xiao Xiang a few days ago.

She turned the backpack over and poured out yesterday's pine needles. She picked up the empty backpack and was about to put it on her back when several broken light green eggshells rolled out. The largest piece still had some water stains inside.

Daya was stunned.

Although there are seven ducks at home and we can pick up at least four or five duck eggs every day, not everyone can eat them.

Duck eggs are precious. My second aunt said that my little cousin is young and my grandmother is old, so my second uncle has to work in the fields. All the heavy and hard work at home depends on him. He eats an egg a day to nourish his body, and the rest can be saved to sell.

But in private, she often found extra egg shells in the woodshed, and knew that they were for Song Tian to eat and were secretly cooked by her second aunt.

After all, he is her biological son, so she understands that Second Aunt is a little partial to him.

What she found hard to accept was that Song Tian made such a big mistake yesterday and lost several months' worth of food for the family, but today he could still eat eggs. Second Aunt couldn't even bear to punish him.
