Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

According to local customs, eggs are eaten on Qingming Festival, and some people even draw patterns on eggs to coax children.

What children love more is the egg touch game, to see whose egg is the hardest and will not break.

Zhou Guilan got up early in the morning and picked up more than 20 eggs and boiled them in a pot.

At this moment, Xu Shiqin, Su Anfang, and Su Anhua took Xu Shiqin's flower-like brush and drew on the eggs.

Xu Shiqin draws a cat, Su Anfang draws a dog, and Su Anhua draws a naughty child who sticks out his tongue and winks his eyes and makes faces.

Both Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping sat obediently, watching their aunts and aunts painting intently.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Xu Jinping took the egg painted by her aunt and let out a voice of surprise.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, hurry up, my sister's painting is finished."

When Xu Haiyuan saw that his sister had a painted egg, he rushed to remind him when he was in a hurry.

Xu Shiqin painted the last part in twos and passed it to Xu Haiyuan, "Then, yours."

Xu Haiyuan took the egg and was very happy. "You're so beautiful, sister, you're amazing."

"Okay, let's go eat, the egg is left, wait for Xiaoyu to come and give it to him."

When the weather is warmer, Ji Yufeng will often bring Yang Haoyu to Xu's house to play with Xu Haiyuan's brothers and sisters.

Especially today, when Xu Haiyuan's Yuhong class is on holiday, Yang Haoyu will definitely come.

The two brothers and sisters each held an egg in their pockets like a baby, and went to the east room for dinner with their aunts and aunts.

In the morning, in addition to eggs, there are rice porridge, corn flour cakes, pickles, green onions that just sprouted from the ground, and miso.

Xu Shiyan and his wife also ate here this morning. Each of them shared two eggs, served with porridge and pickles, and the food was delicious.

The Xu Haiyuan brothers and sisters are naturally reluctant to carry the painted eggs in their pockets, which are to be kept to show off to their friends.

"Wait a minute, touch an egg before eating." Seeing that the adults were about to smash the eggs when they picked them up, Xu Haiyuan shouted quickly.

While shouting, he hurriedly picked an egg from the basin and touched Xu Chenghou first.

"Grandpa, let's come." Xu Haiyuan and Xu Chenghou's relationship is solid, and the first thing to think about is grandpa.

Xu Chenghou laughed without saying a word, picked up an egg casually, and turned his head towards Xu Haiyuan.

As soon as the two eggs touched, there was a crack, and the egg in Xu Chenghou's hand was knocked out of a hole.

"I won, I won." Xu Haiyuan was so happy that he jumped up and down.

"Grandma, grandma, come on, let's touch each other."

Victory in the first battle made Xu Haiyuan more confident, and took the egg of victory just now, and went to find Zhou Guilan again.

Zhou Guilan also followed Xu Chenghou's example, touching the small head of Xu Haiyuan's egg with the big head of the egg.

Everyone knows that there is an air chamber in the big head of an egg, which is empty, where it is the weakest and easy to break.

Sure enough, Xu Haiyuan won again, danced for him happily, and went to find Xu Shiyan again.

Xu Shiyan wanted to teach his son, so he touched it with the small head of an egg.

As a result, Xu Haiyuan was dumbfounded, and the egg in his hand was broken.

"Huh? Why did it break?"

Xu Haiyuan was very disappointed, he thought the egg in his hand was an invincible general, but he only touched two eggs and it broke.

Seeing his grandson's wrinkled and unhappy face, Xu Chenghou immediately became unhappy and glared at Xu Shiyan.

"Look at you, can't you coax the child to play for a while? You have to break an egg for him?"

Xu Shiyan just smiled, "Yuanyuan, do you know why grandpa and grandma's eggs broke just now?"

Little kid, there aren't that many people who spoil you, so you must be made to recognize the cruelty of reality.

"Because it's your grandparents who let you go.

Come on, let's crack open the eggs, and I'll show you what's inside. "

Xu Shiyan started to crack open the egg, and then told his son the structure inside the egg.

Tell him that if you touch the big head with the small head of an egg, the chance of breaking the big head is higher.

"Let me tell you, when it comes to touching eggs, you should choose smaller ones with red skins. Most of these eggs have a little thicker shells.

That kind of big egg white skin is the worst, it shatters when you touch it. "

Xu Shiyan took two eggs, a smaller red one for his son, and a larger white one for himself.

This time, both eggs touched their heads, the white egg was broken, but the red egg was unharmed. "got it?"

"Understood." Xu Haiyuan nodded, it turned out that even an egg has so much knowledge.

"Father, the goose egg is white and big, why is it not easy to break?"

The little guy remembered that the salted goose eggs were pickled at home. He tried it once last year, and it took a lot of effort to crack it.

Everyone was taken aback, no one thought that Xu Haiyuan would ask such a question.

"Eggs can't be compared with goose eggs. Goose eggs are big, but the skin is very thick, so they are strong."

Xu Shiyan touched the top of his son's head and smiled.

The little guy rolled his eyes and immediately smiled at his mother.

"Mom, cook me a goose egg later. I'm going to take the goose egg and touch it with them to see who's the best?"

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Is this a trick a six-year-old can come up with? Take goose eggs to touch other people's eggs, then who can compare?

"No, don't harm my goose eggs. I plan to hold goose eggs for those goose eggs at home."

Su Anying smiled and waved her hands, this son, there is no way to fix it, he can come up with all sorts of ideas.

"Hug a goose? How do you hug?"

Children's attention is easily diverted. As soon as Xu Haiyuan heard about holding goslings, Xu Haiyuan inquired curiously.

"It is to give the goose eggs to Lao Baozi, and let Lao Baozi lay down on the nest to incubate the eggs. After thirty-one days, goslings will come out.

At that time, you can gather vegetables and feed the goslings. When the geese grow up, they can lay eggs and eat meat. "Su Anying patiently explained to her son.

There are many ways to incubate the eggs. You can let old hens come to nest, or you can artificially incubate them.

Spread a small quilt on the kang, put eggs inside, keep the temperature constant, turn it frequently, and chicks and geese will hatch in due time.

Most of the breeding eggs on the farm are hatched in this way.

But not at home, there are too many children.

The two were mischievous, they couldn't make it together and forgot to go to the kang one day, and they sat on the quilt with their buttocks, breaking the eggs.

Not to mention the two little ones, they are crawling all over the kang, who knows where they can climb?

Wouldn't it be easier to crush a few eggs?

The big ones can remind them at least, maybe they can remember, but the small ones don't understand at four or six, so reminding them is useless.

So Su Anying still decided to use the old bunny as a hug.

The garden at home is so big, especially the bottom of the hillside is full of grass, and a few big geese can eat grass and so on.

Goose is stupid, if you can't climb the steep slope, you won't harm the vegetables on it.

The family doesn't raise chickens anymore, his house is too close to the back mountain, chickens are prone to yellow skin, and they can fly around, causing harm to the vegetable garden.

Anyway, there are a lot of chickens raised in the farm, and there is no shortage of eggs to eat. It doesn't take much trouble to raise a few big geese at home.

When the eggs are laid, pickle some salted goose eggs, and keep them for the mountain to bring rice or something. It's better than pickled vegetables.
