"The price of piglets is more expensive than that of pork. My piglet weighs thirty kilograms and costs twenty cents per catty, so a piglet costs six hundred cents."
Aunt Liu explained.
Zhao Yun'er nodded after hearing this. It sounded a bit expensive, but after raising this pig, it will earn much more.
"What, girl Yun'er, do you also want to raise pigs?" Aunt Liu asked with concern.
Zhao Yun'er shook her head and said, "I don't plan to raise one now. I don't have a pigsty at home. I usually have to take Doudou with me, and some of them are hard to get out of."
Aunt Liu nodded and said, "That's right. The most important thing now is to take care of the child. Fortunately, Doudou is sensible and can save you a lot of worry."
Speaking of Doudou, Aunt Liu had a gentle smile on her face.
Aunt Liu prefers children. In ancient times, most people preferred boys. However, although Aunt Liu has two sons and both sons are married, she still does not have a grandson.
I have three granddaughters.
The eldest brother gave birth to two daughters, and the second brother gave birth to a daughter. So now, Aunt Liu hopes that her two daughters-in-law will continue to have children, and she will be able to hold a grandson later.
The more anxious they were to have a baby, the more silent the two wives' stomachs became. Although Aunt Liu was depressed, there was nothing she could do.
Although neither daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, she still treated her well. If this were in another family, the mother-in-law would probably have to pick on her daughter-in-law every day.
Master Liu didn't say anything, but the two daughters-in-law felt guilty and became more filial to Aunt Liu. On weekdays, whatever work is done at home is done by rush, and Aunt Liu rarely gets involved.
"Mom, I've fed you. Now send some water to Dad and the others!" Mrs. Zhou said.
Zhao Yun'er felt a little restless when she saw Mrs. Zhou like this, she was really hard-working.
Aunt Liu greeted Mr. Zhou and said, "We've just finished our work. Let's take a rest."
Mrs. Zhou wiped the sweat on her forehead and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm not tired."
"Okay then." Looking at Ms. Zhou's leaving figure, Aunt Liu sighed, "My wife is good at everything, she is hard-working, but without Yun'er girl like you, there will only be one left in one child." Boy doll.”
Zhao Yun'er smiled awkwardly and comforted Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, don't worry, there will be grandsons to hold. Boys and girls are all the same. People have to be filial. Auntie, don't you think so?"
Aunt Liu said with a smile, "You are the only girl who can say, I don't care, as long as there is a boy, no one else in the village will gossip. Hey, but take your time, our old Liu family has never done anything bad in our lives. I believe we will not be defeated."
Zhao Yun'er responded, and then asked, "Aunt Liu, I heard you say that your female dog gave birth to cubs. Now I want to catch one and take it back. Can you give me one?"
Aunt Liu said quickly, "Of course, I'm looking at how to deliver it in the future. Come on, I'll catch one for you."
While talking, Aunt Liu led Zhao Yuner to the kennel.
The kennel was near the pig pen and not in the house. It is arranged outside so that the dog can guard the pig pen. If someone comes and steals the pig, the family will know about the commotion.
The kennel is not big. There is a shed supported by wooden sticks to keep out the rain. There is a layer of straw inside the shed.
