Chapter 36: Two Eggs

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

There were people talking along the way, but they didn’t feel that time was slow. It felt like they hadn’t walked for long when they got home.

By the time they reached the village, it was already noon.

At this time, many people in the village came out for activities. There were men and children who went up the mountain to get firewood, and women who came to visit everywhere.

It was natural for people from the same village to greet each other.

The men exchanged a few words with Gu Shouxin, while the women exchanged a few words with Cai Xiaolian.

The host and his wife were not the kind of people who were isolated from the world. They would also walk around the village.

Along the way, Gu Nian had met quite a few people. She had a good mind and memory. She could remember people without even saying that she had met them once. However, there were only a few people in San Cha Kou Village. There were only a few dozen households and more than 200 people. She had met more than 20 people today, so Gu Nian had memorized all of them.

Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian, who had the original owner’s memories, didn’t let anyone notice any difference between them.

On the way home, the few of them noticed that the chickens were chirping non-stop.

“Oh my, I forgot to let them out. They must be hungry. I have to go dig for wild vegetables!” Gu Xin heard the hens clucking and remembered that she hadn’t gone to dig for wild vegetables today.

“Let’s just pick some cucumber leaves and feed them. You’ve walked so much today, don’t be busy!” Cai Xiaolian stopped Gu Xin.

“Oh, then I’ll go pick the cucumber leaves!” Gu Xin rolled up her sleeves and went to pick the leaves.

Gu Xin went forward to help, while Gu Shouxin squatted in front of the vegetable field and looked at the watery vegetables in the field. He was at a loss.

“Did you see anything?” Cai Xiaolian went to the kitchen to put away the things she had bought and came out to ask.

When they had escaped from the alley just now, they had not forgotten the things that had fallen on the ground. The rice bags and salt bags had all been wrapped and not scattered.

“No,” Gu Shouxin answered truthfully.

“Oh my!” At this moment, Gu Xin, who had already cut the cucumber leaves and was carrying a basin to feed the chickens, suddenly shouted.

“What’s wrong?” The couple looked up at Gu Xin, who was beside the chicken coop.

“Father, mother, eggs, so many eggs!” Gu Xin turned her head, looking at a loss.

“Eggs? Have all the hens laid eggs?” Cai Xiaolian walked over.

Gu Nian, who had gone back to the house to drink water, heard the sounds outside and walked out as well.

The Gu family had fed a total of ten hens and two roosters. The chicken coop was quite big, and even the pigsty, which was supposed to be fed to the pigs, had been turned into a chicken coop.

The three of them walked to the chicken coop and looked at the eggs lying in the straw with some chicken feathers and chicken feces.

“One, two, three, four... seventeen... Wait, that’s not right! There are ten hens in our family, and the hens lay one egg a day, right? Why...” Gu Nian thought it was very funny. She had fed chickens before, but she had never seen chickens lay eggs before. As she counted, she realized something was wrong.

“Sister, it’s been cold recently. I didn’t dig up many earthworms and only fed them vegetables. So recently, they only lay one egg every other day. It’s rare for them to lay one every day,” Gu Xin explained in a low voice.

She was the one feeding the chickens, and Gu Nian usually didn’t care about them, so Gu Xin explained.

Gu Shouxin pushed open the pen door and said, “I’ll go see how many there are! Gu Nian, go get the baskets.”

The chickens in the pen were happily eating the chopped cucumber leaves. They had no time to bother with Gu Shouxin, who had gone in to pick up the eggs.

Soon, Gu Shouxin came out with the basket. There were a total of twenty eggs in the basket. In other words, each chicken laid an average of two eggs.

This was not common sense!

No chicken in the village could lay two eggs every day.
