Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

chapter 114

Don’t catch the baby chicks at will, especially don’t pinch their stomachs, try not to drive away the baby chicks, causing confusion in the flock. After touching the baby chicks, be sure to wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread of disease…

After nagging for quite a while, the two children listened carefully.

In the beginning, the baby chicks refused to eat, making noises. They didn’t know which chick started to eat first, gradually, everyone started to drink water and eat rice. Then they huddled together next to the nest that Liu Sisi had made with straw.

The baby chicks were still too young, and there was no mother hen to take care of them. At night, they had to be put in a carry basket and hung from the roof beam to prevent damage from animals like mountain cats and weasels.

YingEr was particularly busy, adding water for the two wild pheasants, giving some dried green grass to a group of half-grown rabbits, and then carrying a basket out the door, saying that she would also get some green grass for the baby chicks.

Meanwhile, Liu Sisi was busy making dinner.

“Xuan’er, go out and check on YingEr. Why hasn’t she come home as it’s getting dark?”

Di Xuan was reciting his textbook and practicing writing. The child was too quiet, often sitting for half a day.

“Yes, mom.”

Di Xuan put down the book in his hand, carefully tidied it up, and then went out.

“Mom, mom! There are so many soldiers-officers outside!”

Di Ying ran in quickly from outside, panting and saying as she got to Liu Sisi’s side.

“What soldiers-officers? The ones we saw last time? Where are they now?”

Liu Sisi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat!

Could it be that something really happened?

“They are the uncles who were holding big blades that we saw. They went into the village and are now heading this way…” Di Ying said, blinking her big eyes.

The Di Family’s home was located at the foot of the mountain, with a significant distance from the other houses in the village. It was a single-family home, so it was easy to see the officers heading toward them.

“Oh, mom will go out and have a look. Xuan’er, you are a man. Take care of your sister and watch the fire in the stove. Don’t come out. Understand?” Liu Sisi quickly untied her apron and spoke to Di Xuan.

“Don’t worry, mom. I understand.”

Watching Liu Sisi quickly walk out of the kitchen, Di Xuan couldn’t help but clench his small fists.

He was a man!

Not a coward who needed to hide in the house!

As Liu Sisi came out of the courtyard, she saw Zuo Xingyu leading a Blade Runner to the main entrance. They were about to knock on the door when she stepped out.

The door was pulled open, and his outstretched hand nearly knocked on Liu Sisi’s head, causing him to quickly retract it.

Liu Sisi didn’t expect the timing to be so coincidental. She had just opened the door, and the other party’s hand was falling down. She instinctively closed her eyes and lowered her body, with his arm brushing past her cheek, bringing a gust of wind and moving her hair.

“Ah!”

She instinctively screamed, taking a while before carefully opening her eyes a little.

“Mrs. Di, I’m sorry for my rudeness. I, Zuo Xingyu, apologize for startling you,” He said with a bow.
