After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Zhang Hulan took Zhang Xinyue and others to see Doctor Yu to bandage Xiaohua's wound.

After returning, Zhang Xinyue rewarded Xiaohua and Xiaohui well and prepared a lot of meat for them in the evening.

At night, Zhang Hulan and the others all went to sleep.

Xiaohua suddenly flew out, then flew back a moment later, threw something under its cage, and flew out again.

Xiaohua was restless all night, flying out and back non-stop, bringing something back every time.

It didn't go into the cage to sleep until almost dawn.

The next day the children had to leave again, and the servants in the kitchen had to get up early to make breakfast.

Nanny Tao, Chuntao Zhuer and several other servants also got up early.

As soon as Zhu'er walked out of the house, she screamed in fright, "Ah..."

The scream woke up Zhang Hulan and the others.

Aunt Tao came over quickly and asked, "Zhu'er, what are you yelling about?"

Zhu'er pointed at a pile of things on the ground, her face turning pale with fear.

Aunt Tao was also startled, "Mom, why are there so many dead rats?"

Zhang Hulan, Zhang Xinyue and the others walked out of the room, and then looked at the pile of dead mice and several weasels on the ground, feeling a little dazed.

Everyone was wondering why there were so many dead rats in the yard.

This is not a good thing. If you are superstitious, you will think that the house is unclean.

Shanzi said, "Auntie Lan, look at those mice. They all have wounds on their bodies, as if they've been torn apart."

Shanzi looked up at Xiaohua's cage. Xiaohua was standing at the entrance of the cage looking at Zhang Hulan and the others, then she cooed twice, as if asking for credit.

"Could it be that Xiaohua caught it?"

Xiaohua was injured yesterday and was ridiculed by Xiaohui, so it wants to get back at him. Night is its hunting time.

Zhang Xinyue was furious. "Xiaohua, why did you bring all the dead mice home? Don't bring them back in the future. Just throw them outside, okay?"

Xiaohua blinked her big eyes, looking a little aggrieved because of the quarrel between Zhang Xinyue.

Zhang Hulan wondered if this owl had become a spirit?

Zhang Hulan smiled and said to Xiaohua, "Don't bring it back in the future. We all know how amazing you are."

Xiaohua cooed twice again, then went into the cage and lay down to sleep.

Zhang Hulan asked Aunt Tao to get someone to take the dead rats out and throw them away, then urged Zhang Xinyue and the others, "Hurry up and wash up. I'll send you off after dinner."

Zhang Xinyue and the others quickly went to wash up and eat, and then Zhang Hujun sent them all away.

After Zhang Xinyue and the others left, Xiao Hui flew out again. It flew to the fish pond and saw an eagle or kite coming over, so it chased them away.

He went back to have lunch at noon, and then continued to guard the fish pond in the afternoon, as if he was going to work.

The dog was a little anxious when he saw Xiao Hui chasing the eagle. If this continued, would he be useless?

……

As soon as the divine beast left, Zhang Hulan continued to busy herself with hatching the chicks.

Zhang Hulan mainly entrusted the task of hatching the chicks to Li.

Zhang Hulan told Li that if she touched the warm kang with her hand, the temperature inside should be about the same as her body temperature, or just a little higher.

But try not to make it too high, a little lower is fine.

If the temperature is too high, the chicks will hatch prematurely. Such chicks are unhealthy and difficult to raise.

If it is stable and low, it will hatch two days later.

Ten days had passed since Gao's father and son delivered chicks and ducklings for the second time. They must have gone to a village far away to collect them.

The number of chicks, ducklings and breeding eggs delivered this time was about the same. There were more than a thousand breeding eggs in total, more than two hundred chicks and ducklings, and fewer geese.

When Gao Guangtian left this time, Zhang Hulan asked him to send some bran next time, and Gao Guangtian happily agreed.

This time, when putting the newly bought breeding eggs into the kang, I used an oil lamp to check the condition of the first batch of breeding eggs.

Only chicken eggs are checked. Duck and goose eggs will be checked later.

This time, looking inside the eggshell through the oil lamp, I saw that the embryo inside had already taken shape and was still moving.

But this time, more than twenty bad guys who couldn't hatch chicks were picked out.

On the eighteenth day, Zhang Hulan asked Chuntao Zhuer to prepare hot water and put the first batch of eggs into the water to stir.

When you put the egg in the water, you can see the egg moving in the water, and everyone is amazed.

If any eggs sink to the bottom of the water, they are bad and cannot be kept.

Zhang Hulan warned Li, "Sister-in-law, you should pay attention to moisturizing these days. Sprinkle water on the eggs twice a day, and don't sprinkle too much."

Zhang Hulan demonstrated to Li that all she needed to do was wet the eggshell a little bit.

On the twentieth day, Zhang Hulan checked the eggs one by one to see if any of them had started to peck the shells.

Some eggs had small cracks on their surface, some had small holes, and the chicks' cries could be heard.

Xiang Chunhua exclaimed, "Wow, it actually hatched..."

At this time, you can't cover the eggs directly with a quilt. You have to prop it up. Otherwise, the chicks won't be able to move after hatching.

Zhang Hulan then warned Li and Xiang Chunhua, "Sister-in-law, Chunhua, there should be a lot of chicks hatching tomorrow. You have to listen carefully to what's going on inside."

"Okay, we'll keep an eye on it."

Zhang Xinyue and the others are coming back today. Time flies so fast.

As soon as Zhang Xinyue, Daochen Daoxu and others came back, they all ran into the room where the chicks were hatching. They all wanted to see the chicks hatching.

But they can't see it today, they have to wait until tomorrow.

The next day, when Zhang Xinyue and her friends went to see, the chicks had already hatched.

The chicks were chirping in their warm bed.

Li and Xiang Chunhua caught the hatched chicks and fed them chopped vegetables.

Zhang Xinyue, Zhang Xiaobing and others stared at the eggs on the warm bed.

They saw an egg move, then saw a hole in the eggshell, and then after a while, the chick pecked the eggshell open and stuck its head out.

The chick struggled a few times, and then its entire body came out of the eggshell.

"Wow, this is amazing!"

The children looked at the chicks coming out of the eggshells in amazement.

Zhang Xiaobing asked, "Auntie, why can chicks walk as soon as they are born? But why can't babies walk as soon as they are born? It would be great if babies could walk as soon as they are born."

How should Zhang Hulan respond? She hadn't studied this before.

Zhang Xinyue suddenly pointed at an egg and said, "Look, another chick is about to come out."

Zhang Xiaobing's attention was immediately drawn away.

But the chick in this egg seemed a little weak, and it took a long time to peck open the eggshell.

The eggshell was pecked open but there was no movement. After a while, the chick finally stuck its head out.

It struggled hard, but couldn't get out of the eggshell.

Zhang Xiaobing stretched out his hand and said, "I'll help it out..."

Zhang Hulan immediately stopped her, "You can't move. You have to let it come out on its own. If you help it break the eggshell, the chick will probably die."

"why?"

The children all looked at Zhang Hulan, and Zhang Xinyue also asked, "Mom, why can't you help it?"

Zhang Hulan was overwhelmed by the sight of the little ones looking up at her. They were all curious babies, and they were also curious about unknown things. Zhang Hulan had no choice but to patiently explain to them...
