With food to eat, the two chickens were very cheerful, but Su Sanmei realized that the hen had not come to eat. Instead, it was squatting motionless on the bundle of grass. Su Sanmei suddenly realized something.

She quickly grabbed Su Chong and Su Hua and made a shushing gesture at them. She smiled and said, “Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t speak. Our hen is about to lay an egg.”

Su Chong and Su Hua had never seen this before. They carefully followed Su Sanmei and quietly squatted outside the chicken coop to watch.

The hen was wary when laying eggs. The slightest movement disturbed it, but in the quietness, the hen quickly completed the process of laying an egg.

Then, it jumped out of the chicken coop and ran towards Su Sanmei.

A white egg was left in the chicken coop.

Su Sanmei went in and carefully picked up the egg. Then, she said to her two brothers, “Let’s go and tell Father.”

Su Sanmei was very happy and didn’t forget to turn back to the hen in the coop. “You’re awesome. I’ll catch more worms for you to eat later.”

The egg was huge, like a reward.

As soon as they entered the house, Su Sanmei smiled and said, “Father, look, there’s another egg today.”

Su Sanlang was a little surprised. Ever since this chicken started laying eggs, it laid eggs every day. Moreover, they were relatively big. Compared to the eggs sent by Su Xiaozhi, it was even more obvious.

Su Sanlang took the egg and said with a smile, “Good child, your aunt sent over a basket of eggs. I’ll cook poached eggs for you today.”

The rice was still mixed with corn, while the vegetables were dried and soaked. He cut a small piece of cured meat and cooked it. Then, he beat six eggs to make poached egg soup.

Because Su Xiaozhi was here, there were not enough bowls to eat with. Su Sanlang called Su Xiaozhi to eat. After scooping for the children, he carried Madam Zhao’s food into the house.

In just two hours, Su Xiaozhi had sewn the foundation of the three children’s cotton clothes. Su Sanlang’s heart warmed. “Darling, it’s time to eat. Our chicken laid another egg. Xiaozhi also brought a basket of eggs for you to eat. In the future, I’ll cook an egg for you every day.”

“Sanlang, don’t worry about me. Go out and take care of Xiaozhi.”

Madam Zhao took the bowl and urged Su Sanlang to leave.

She lowered her eyes so Su Sanlang could not see her tears.

When Su Sanlang came out, he realized that Su Xiaozhi and the children had not eaten yet. Su Sanlang quickly went to get a bamboo bowl and scooped rice. He said, “Eat quickly.”

After Su Sanlang sat down, Su Xiaozhi smiled and said, “Alright, alright, let’s eat.”

Su Xiaozhi gave the poached eggs to the three children. Seeing that there was only one left in the bowl, she gave it to Su Sanlang without thinking.

Su Sanlang quickly stopped her and said, “Xiaozhi, I don’t eat eggs. If you don’t eat them, I’ll be angry.”

Su Xiaozhi had no choice. He knew that Su Sanlang was telling the truth.

After dinner, Su Xiaozhi was about to leave when Su Sanlang took two eggs from the chicken at home and sent her out. He said, “Xiaozhi, I don’t have anything to return to you. These two eggs were laid by our chicken at home. They’re not worth much. Take them back as a good bet.”
