Gu Jiaojiao had been raising two chickens for three or four months, and they had already started laying eggs. She could collect four eggs a day, and they laid every single day. In contrast, most other people’s chickens only laid one egg a day—and sometimes, none at all.
Gu Jiaojiao believed the reason her chickens laid so many eggs was because Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang took such good care of them. The two of them went out every day to catch bugs for the chickens and occasionally even brought back some small fish. These chickens ate better than most people, which was obvious just from looking at their feathers.
They were smooth and glossy, a clear sign they were well-cared-for.
After Xiao Yang fed the chickens, Gu Jiaojiao sent him to the village leader’s house to get Sweet Girl.
Sweet Girl missed her brother, sister, and younger brother, and had long been eager to go home. However, she knew her older brother had gotten back very late the previous night, so she patiently continued playing with Xiao Ni.
When Xiao Yang came to get her, Sweet Girl was delighted, but then she froze in surprise.
Because she discovered her little brother could talk.
It wasn’t just Sweet Girl; the village leader’s family was also surprised, though they were more happy than anything.
「The next day, summer vacation officially began.」 Leng Yuan took Gu Jiaojiao to work in the fields. Gu Jiaojiao, keenly aware of her own limitations, chose the task of gathering pig feed with the children.
Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang were also gathering pig feed.
Sweet Girl whispered to Gu Jiaojiao, "Sister, when we get to the spot where we cut the pig feed, you should just rest. I’ll do it for you."
Gu Jiaojiao felt a little awkward.
’I might not have much strength and can’t handle real farm labor,’ she thought, ’but I can definitely manage to cut some pig feed.’
Speaking of which, the pigs in the sty were now being taken care of very well. Previously, when the training slots for pig-raising were announced, many people had come to their home bearing gifts, hoping to secure a spot. However, Leng Yuan had turned them all down.
He told everyone that the selection would be fair and that the Team would choose the most suitable candidates.
A lot of people made snide remarks at the time.
But since Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan worked every day and lived far from the main village, none of the gossip reached them.
