Chapter 198 1/3

After accompanying Mrs. Qian for two days, Qian Fugui reluctantly left Chongcheng County.

During the two days he was there, Mrs. Qian didn’t leave the house. But when he left, Mrs. Qian tidied herself up and, along with Qian Changsheng, came to Li Qingzhi’s place early in the morning.

When they arrived, Li Qingzhi was eating dumplings again. But this time, he was eating mushroom and pork dumplings instead of pork and bean dumplings.

Chang Zhan didn’t start cooking today; he was watching his two apprentices work.

These two apprentices that Chang Zhan took in were quite meticulous, and the dumplings they made looked good. There were just a few that weren’t sealed properly and came apart in the pot, but it wasn’t a big deal. They were still edible.

While Li Qingzhi was eating, he saw Mrs. Qian and paused for a moment.

Mrs. Qian was a bit plump, but her skin was very fair. Because of the flesh on her face, there weren’t many wrinkles, making her look young.

Today, she was wearing a moon-white sleeveless dress with a yellow silk shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hairstyle was also different from usual, making her look more than ten years younger.

Li Damao and Li Ermao were stunned for a while before saying, “Mrs. Qian, you look so beautiful!”

“Mrs. Qian, you look different today!”

Li Laogen also looked at her curiously, then muttered jealously, “She’s not much younger than me, so why is she dressing up like this? It’s so enchanting.”

Li Qingzhi frowned at Li Laogen. “Dad, don’t speak ill of others in the future.”

Seeing Li Qingzhi’s displeased expression, Li Laogen immediately backed down. “I won’t say it next time.”

“Mrs. Qian?” Chang Zhan saw her and hesitated.

Mrs. Qian smiled slightly with some embarrassment. “It’s hot lately, so I changed my style.”

“This style suits you well and makes you look younger,” Li Qingzhi commented.

Although Li Qingzhi said so, Mrs. Qian still felt uncomfortable all over.

But even so, she had to dress like this!

If she looked like an old lady while pregnant in the future, people would find it strange to look at her.

Moreover, she didn’t want others to think she was the child’s grandmother when she took the child out in the future.

Li Qingzhi was so skilled in medicine; she wondered if he knew anything about skincare… Should she ask him to teach her?

Mrs. Qian pondered over it and decided to ask Li Qingzhi about skincare in a few days.

After Mrs. Qian changed her style, everyone was initially a bit uncomfortable, especially the students of Chongcheng Elementary School…

In the past few months, Mrs. Qian often went to Chongcheng Elementary School to help take care of the female students. She even let those female students call her “grandma.”

Now, she looked like this. Those female students were embarrassed to call her “grandma.” They quietly changed their address and called Mrs. Qian “aunt.”

After a few days, everyone got used to it.

Mrs. Qian looked pretty good in this style.

Mrs. Qian didn’t reveal her pregnancy to others, and her reaction after becoming pregnant wasn’t significant, so few people knew about it.

People around her were just puzzled – what happened to Mrs. Qian?

She suddenly changed her style and started mentioning her husband to others… She didn’t do that before.

Only Li Qingzhi knew that Mrs. Qian was laying the groundwork for her pregnancy.

Jin Xiaoye’s birthday was in late May, so it wasn’t long before June arrived.

The chickens that Qian Changsheng and others hatched by themselves laid eggs!

It was not surprising.

Usually, chickens raised in rural areas start laying eggs after about six months. Their chickens laid eggs earlier than other chickens.

Their chickens were different. They could eat their fill every day.

Li Damao and others even caught bugs to feed them. In short, they were well-nourished, grew fast, and naturally started laying eggs early.

Li Damao and others valued these chickens very much. Qian Changsheng even had the servants clean the chicken coop every day.

And on this day, the servant who cleaned the chicken coop found an egg.

It happened that Chongcheng Elementary School was on vacation, and Qian Changsheng was staying at Li Qingzhi’s place, so they returned early…

Everyone saw the egg, which was slightly smaller than usual.

When hens start laying eggs, the eggs are usually very small. It takes some time before they start laying large eggs.

“Whose egg is this? Is it from my family’s Yinfeng or my family’s Dabao and Erbao?” Qian Changsheng asked.

The servant didn’t know.

These chickens were marked, so they could tell them apart. But the key was… they didn’t watch these chickens all the time, so they didn’t know which one laid the egg.

“What should we do now?” Qian Changsheng worried. “Should we put the egg back in the coop and let them hatch it?”

Which chicken did this egg come from?

Also, why did they start laying eggs so soon?

How old was their Yinfeng? How could she become a mother so soon?

Qian Changsheng also said, “We don’t know if this egg can hatch into a chick…”

As they spoke, these people even started to argue about the “custody” of the egg.

Qian Changsheng said, “I’ve raised my family’s Yinfeng so well. This egg should be hers.”

Qian Changsheng said, “Not necessarily. My family’s Hundred Years is doing much better!”

Li Ermao also asserted, “I think this egg isn’t from Dabao or Erbao.”

Li Qingzhi saw them arguing over an egg whose mother they didn’t know and father they didn’t know, and suggested, “Let me eat this egg. I’m about to participate in the township exam, and I need to replenish my body.”

Everyone looked at Li Qingzhi with condemning eyes.

This was an egg laid by the chickens they had personally hatched!

They had seen the chicks hatch from the eggs and raised them bit by bit!

Li Qingzhi actually wanted to eat eggs laid by them!

Li Qingzhi asked them, “If you don’t eat it… are you planning to hatch all of them? What will you do after hatching them? A hen can hatch dozens of chicks in her lifetime. With so many chicks, are you going to raise them all? Can you handle it? If you don’t raise them, are you going to wait until the chicks grow up to eat chicken meat? Instead of raising the chicks and then eating chicken meat, it’s better to let me eat the eggs from the beginning.”

Li Qingzhi made a lot of sense.

These people imagined for a moment and finally gave Li Qingzhi the egg, which was only slightly larger than a ping-pong ball.

Natural, unpolluted eggs were quite delicious.

After Li Qingzhi finished eating the egg, these children separated and raised the chickens.

Gou Ying: “I am the only one who can eat the eggs laid by my Yinfeng!”

Qian Changsheng: “I want to give the eggs laid by my 100-year-old to my great aunt.”

Li Damao: “Dad, from now on, all the eggs Dabao lays will be used to nourish your body!”

Li Ermao: “Dad, Erbao was hatched by me, he is my child, and the eggs it laid are my grandson… Woo… I will give them to you too!”

Li Qingzhi: “…” What Li Ermao said was a bit scary, he was just eating an egg!

Their family used to raise chickens. At that time, Li Damao and Li Ermao not only took eggs from them every day, but also craved their meat every day. Why is it like this now?

Li Qingzhi was a little worried that these people would hatch the eggs and eventually raise more and more chicks and set up a chicken farm.

But he soon realized that he was overthinking.

After a few days, these children began to compare whose chickens laid bigger eggs and whose eggs tasted better.

It changes so fast!

In mid-June, Li Qingzhi’s “Travels of Solitary Travels” was officially completed.

For this book, Li Qingzhi wrote a total of 400,000 words. He has already published seven books, and he has just finished the eighth, which is also the final one.
