Chapter 116 Two eggs turn brothers against each other
It is no exaggeration to say that if candy is classified as a luxury product, White Rabbit Milk Candy is definitely the top luxury product.
Parents buy White Rabbit candy for their children not just as a snack to satisfy their cravings, but as a nutritional supplement.
Bai Lu couldn't help but stepped forward to take a look and said in surprise: "What a big white rabbit!"
Su Jianmin said: "I heard that this candy contains milk powder, egg white and some protein sugar..."
His mother smiled and nodded, "The salesperson said the same thing. The milk powder in these candies are imported high-end products. They are nutritious and are most suitable for our Jinbao."
"It's suitable, but..." Su Jianmin was puzzled and asked, "Mom, how can you have the money to buy such expensive candies?"
"Haha, in exchange for eggs."
"Eggs?" Bai Lu was also confused. "What eggs? Where do we have eggs at home? I haven't eaten eggs in several years."
Li Xiu'e made a "shh" gesture with a mysterious look, and led her son and daughter-in-law to the room where she lived.
Worried that the two golden roosters had escaped, she opened the door carefully.
"Look..."
"This is?" Su Jianmin was surprised, "What is this? What kind of bird is it?"
"You ignorant guy, what kind of bird is this? This is the golden rooster! The golden rooster that announces good news is worth a lot of money."
When she praised the two chickens, Li Xiu'e's face was full of pride.
Bai Lu had never seen such a beautiful chicken before. Bai Lu was so shocked that her eyes widened.
"Mom, you brought this from your hometown? I didn't seem to see it the day you came."
After saying that, Su Jianmin asked doubtfully: "Is it possible that it was put in a bag?"
"How can we have such good things in our hometown? It's only found in the Qinleng area, not anywhere else."
Su Jianmin was confused, "Where is Qin Leng?"
"Ah?" Li Xiu'e thought for a while, "Hua Hua said it, Qinlin or some other place, that's the only place that has it anyway."
Bai Lu guessed, "Is it the Qinling Mountains?"
"Yes, yes, it's the Qinling Mountains," Li Xiu'e said. "I heard it's far away from us! These two chickens have flown all the way so far. They have to come to our house to lay eggs instead of going anywhere else."
Su Jianmin and his wife looked at each other.
Both of them were a little confused, "What? What do you mean?"
Li Xiu'e didn't know how to explain it, so she could only explain in detail what happened when she found the chicken that day.
"Jin Bao saw the eggs first, eight of them, eight eggs in total. From then on, the hen would lay eggs every day..."
"Do you lay eggs every day?"
"Yes, at least three, and sometimes five at most. These eggs are money!"
Li Xiu'e said excitedly and said happily: "I only kept five eggs, and the other dozens were taken to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for items."
In addition to a bag of brown sugar, she also exchanged it for a small box of White Rabbit toffee.
Although this milk candy is a bit expensive, Jinbao must eat it well. At this age, she needs the most nutritional supplements. Only by eating well can she grow more beautiful and smarter, so it’s worth it!
"If it weren't for Jin Bao, how would the golden rooster fly to our house? This chicken flew here to feed her." Li Xiu'e said with a smile.
"Mom, what are you talking about? What does this chicken have to do with Jinbao?"
"Of course it does matter. Jinbao is a lucky star! With good fortune, you are destined to have enough food and clothing in this life. Everyone will starve, but we, Jinbao, will not, do you understand?"
When her mother-in-law mentioned that Jinbao was a lucky star, Bai Lu couldn't help but feel nervous.
She quickly lowered her voice, "Don't talk about this kind of thing casually, especially here. Talking too much will definitely make people jealous."
Li Xiu'e waved her hand, "Don't worry, Jin Bao Niang, Xiao Si and the others have told me several times not to tell anyone in the building that Jin Bao is a lucky star, but I haven't told anyone."
After Bai Lu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if you didn't say anything."
"Didn't you see that I secretly kept these two chickens in the house? Even the beautiful girl next door comes to our house every now and then to bring food to our house, and I didn't tell her about the golden chickens."
Su Jianmin asked: "Mom, what did you say when you went to the supply and marketing cooperative? They should have asked you where the eggs came from, right?"
His mother nodded, "Ask me, I said it was born from chickens raised in my hometown in the countryside... I also said that I came to see my son this time and specially brought it to him to eat. My son was reluctant to eat it, so I came to exchange for something."
Bai Lu thought to herself that these eggs could be exchanged for food at the supply and marketing cooperative, wouldn't they be equivalent to money?
She couldn't help but ask: "Mom, how many eggs did you use to exchange these candies? Can you exchange them for cloth? Can you exchange shoes?"
"Stop asking!" Su Jianmin said, "None of you are allowed to exchange eggs at the supply and marketing cooperative in the future, do you hear me?"
"Why?" Bai Lu and her mother-in-law asked at the same time.
These eggs are available every day. If they could be replaced with rice, grain, oil, cloth, and shoes, the family's life would be greatly improved.
The sons' clothes were in tatters. Bai Lu had long wanted to make new clothes for each of them, but she had no money.
And Xiao Wu...
Xiao Wu's clothes and shoes were full of holes and he was as dirty as a little beggar.
She wanted her mother to bring new clothes and shoes for Xiao Wu to wear when she returned to her hometown.
Seeing his wife's thoughts, Su Jianmin sighed and explained: "I am a worker and receive a monthly salary. I cannot raise chickens, and I am not qualified to exchange eggs for things at the supply and marketing cooperative. This is a right that only farmers have."
, do you understand?”
Bai Lu frowned and thought for a while, "We can let our mother change it. She is a farmer."
"Yes, yes, I'll change it!" Li Xiu'e was very happy.
"It's okay for my mother to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange eggs once. She won't be suspected. If she sells too much, she will definitely be investigated."
"Check? What are you checking?"
Su Jianmin said: "Check which village she is from and where she raised the chickens. After all, Jinghai City is only a day's drive from the nearest rural area. How can any farmer be willing to take a car to the city to exchange eggs?"
Li Xiu'e couldn't help but sigh, "Hey! What should we do with so many eggs?"
"You can eat it yourself. If you lay five eggs a day, it will be enough for each of the children at home to supplement their nutrition."
Although Bai Lu was disappointed that she couldn't buy any clothes, she thought about it...
Children are still growing, so eating eggs is definitely good for their health.
"Thanks to Jinbao, otherwise, who would be willing to eat eggs these days?"
Speaking of this, Li Xiu'e seemed to think of something and sighed for a while.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Su Jianmin asked.
"It's okay, I just thought that your fourth brother and sister gave birth to their first child the year before last and suffered severe bleeding. I asked your eldest brother to give two eggs to replenish it, but your eldest brother and sister-in-law refused to do it. Hey, you are so poor..."
Bai Lu hurriedly asked: "Are the fourth brothers and sisters okay? I went to the countryside this time and didn't see the fourth brother's family."
"It's okay, I just felt cold and moved to the other side of the village. Who would have thought that two eggs would turn brothers against each other?"
