Reborn at 70 and living a good life with his biological mother
Chapter 16 Picking up duck eggs in the reed field
There were so many wild ducks and birds flying out just now. This place is so hidden and safe, so there must be many wild ducks and birds making nests.
Where there is a nest, there are eggs!
If she could pick up such a big wild duck, the duck eggs must be quite big.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she resisted the urge to continue sweeping. She picked up the wild duck, cut a lot of dry reed poles, and carried them back to her new home.
"Mom, I'm back."
The person in the room immediately came out with an apron tied around his waist and his eyes were red. It seemed that he had been crying alone at home for a long time. When he saw Lin Wanyi coming back, he quickly wiped his tears with a smile on his face.
Seeing the big mallard duck in Lin Wanyi's hand, she screamed, "Where did you catch it?"
Lin Wanyi threw the big mallard duck in the yard and found a rotten bamboo basket to lock him up.
"I just came across it in the reed marsh next to it. It was unlucky and got its feet tangled in the dry vines on the ground. I caught it and killed it and stewed it tomorrow."
Yu Xiang helped Lin Wanyi take the reed pole, and felt heartbroken when she saw Lin Wanyi, who was so thin that the wind could blow her.
"The captain just told us not to cause trouble in the village. Why did you go to the village and get the duck back? If others find out, wouldn't it cause trouble for your Aunt Fang?" Yu Xiang said.
"Mom, this is a wild duck, not a duck raised by people in the village. And I'm not causing trouble. It was just unlucky that it got tripped up, so I picked it up. If we don't cause trouble, we have to live. ! Don’t worry, I am sensible. I promise not to cause trouble to Aunt Fang and the captain. If it causes trouble, we will move out immediately, okay? "
"I can't deal with you girl now! Just be sensible."
Lin Wanyi raised the duck and asked, "Can I eat the duck? I really want to eat meat."
"I'll kill it when I get up in the morning tomorrow and stew it for you to replenish."
Yu Xiang suddenly remembered that there were no pots and pans in this house, "Your Aunt Fang said that tomorrow a tractor from the village will go to the county town to purchase goods. Let's go buy some necessary things and come back tomorrow."
Lin Wan felt that Yu Xiang had already planned the future. It would definitely be uncomfortable at first, but as time went by, the Lin family's affairs would gradually come to an end. Didn't it take her a while to come out of it in the first place? Now as long as It is the best arrangement for their mother and daughter to live together and live well.
"Mom, that's just right. You clean it up, and we'll go look for it in the reed swamp. I feel like there must be duck eggs or bird eggs in there. Uncle Tan also said that before the two of us registered, we couldn't join the production team to earn work points and make money. Yes, if we can find some duck eggs, it would be good for us to take them to the city to buy together tomorrow, and it would be even better if we can catch wild ducks."
After saying that, Lin Wanyi was worried and added: "Mom, this is not to cause trouble, this is to solve our livelihood problem! And I guarantee that these are all wild and definitely not from the village. If you don't think so later, Okay, we’ll just come back.”
Having said that, Yu Xiang had no reason to refuse.
She did none of these things.
Although the Lin family also saved eggs and sold them in the county town, that was all Lin Qing's business. After Lin Qing sold the money, she kept it for herself. She rarely went to the county town in recent years and was busy working in the production team. , No matter what, we won’t go to the county seat.
Yu Xiang knew that Lin Wanyi had big ideas now. She wanted to go to the county town to sell duck eggs, so she had to get something to carry around. Looking at the reed poles on the ground, Yu Xiang made two baskets.
"Without tools, a basket weaved like this will definitely not last long."
Yu Xiang pressed the reed basket with stones and placed it in a large tank in the yard for soaking. She quite disliked her craftsmanship. Lin Wanyi already thought it was a weaving craft. Anyway, she would never know how to do this in her life!
The mother and daughter were going to 'adventure' in the reed swamp, and when they were ready, they went out.
Yu Xiang was relieved when she saw that she was really not in the village, and that the reed marsh looked like no one was taking care of it and no one had been there.
The reed leaves stretch the skin and cause burning pain when cut on the body. If you are not careful, the cut will bleed. Otherwise, no one from the village would come, and the wild ducks would not nest in it.
The two of them found it quickly. Without a flashlight, they had to rely on the moonlight. Fortunately, the moonlight was strong, and the weather would definitely be good tomorrow.
The mother and daughter each carried a small basket and tried to explore as far away as possible. Wild ducks were frightened away when they encountered reed poles. They finally found a wild duck nest, but it was still empty.
Yu Xiang found the first nest first.
He shouted excitedly to Lin Wanyi, "Wanyi! Wanyi! It's here."
Lin Wanyi hurriedly walked over.
I counted 12 duck eggs.
And it's not small.
With the opening, the mother and daughter found it much more smoothly, and found a lot of eggs in one night.
When she was about to leave, Lin Wanyi heard what sounded like a "quacking" sound next to her. When she went over to see it, she saw that it was actually a nest of hatched ducklings.
"This can feed you."
The down on the little mallard duck's body has grown all over, and Yu Xiang is very happy.
Lin Wanyi took off her coat and picked up the nest directly. After returning home, Yu Xiang felt particularly confused. They picked up seventy or eighty duck eggs, a small nest of bird eggs, and a nest of ducklings.
Where there is a nest, there are eggs!
If she could pick up such a big wild duck, the duck eggs must be quite big.
