Chapter 4 Eggs

The three younger brothers all have big heads, small necks, big eyes, and thin bones all over. They are the thinnest compared to the children in other rooms.

At this time, Du Yuhan hated Liu Cuilian's cruelty and partiality even more, and also hated his grandfather Du Dachuan's inaction.

These are his biological grandchildren, but he doesn't care about them at all. Yet, his grandchildren are a lot of, and they are not rare at all.

When the two younger brothers saw their sister coming in, they knew they were eating.

The second son, Du Haichao, is already eight years old and is very sensible and can't compete with his sister for food. But his younger brother, Du Haisheng, was only four years old, and saw his sister coming in with a bowl in, showing a look of desire.

Du Yuhan sat on the edge of the kang and waved to his younger brother, saying, "Haisheng, come here, I have something to eat here, come here to have something to eat."

When the little guy heard that there was something to eat, he immediately climbed in front of Du Yuhan quickly.

Du Yuhan hugged his younger brother and handed the bowl to his mouth. The little guy just drank a little porridge in the morning, but he was not full at all. He was hungry all the time, so he started drinking the bowl of porridge that Du Yuhan was holding.

Du Haifeng went into the house and saw that his elder sister was doing nothing. He knew it was useless to say it. The elder sister always took care of their younger brothers first.

Just thinking of his grandmother's bias, his eyes turned red. They were all children of the Du family, so why did their second wife be treated so unfairly?

Although Du Haisheng is only four years old, he knows something. After drinking some porridge, he raised his head and pushed it to Du Yuhan and said, "Sister."

Du Yuhan looked at his sensible brother and smiled: "Sister has eaten it. Can we give it to your second brother?"

Xiao Budian nodded and said, "Give it to my second brother."

Du Yuhan handed the bowl of porridge to his second brother Du Haichao and said, "Haichao, drink the remaining porridge and I can wash the bowl."

Du Haichao shook his head and said, "Sister, I'm not hungry, you can drink it."

Du Yuhan said: "I have already drunk it, hurry up, don't let my elder sister hold the bowl."

As he said that, he stuffed the bowl of porridge with little left into his younger brother's hand. Du Haichao had to drink the remaining porridge.

Du Yuhan packed up and told his younger brothers, "You stay at home. Don't go out if it's too cold outside. My elder sister has to go and pick up firewood."

Du Haifeng quickly said, "Sister, I'll go with you and I can carry it back more at once."

Du Yuhan nodded at his younger brother who was shorter than him, "Okay, go with me, Haichao is watching me at home."

Du Yuhan and his brother walked out of the house with straw ropes again.

Du Haifeng walked beside Du Yuhan and complained: "Uncle's cousin is older than you, sister, so grandma will instruct you to pick up firewood alone. Who doesn't want to stay in the house in such a cold day?"

Du Yuhan said: "My cousin is about to get married. Of course, uncle and aunt have to let their cousin raise them well. Besides, our second wife has always been angry, so of course I will have to do the work first."

There is a mountain to the north of Xikou Village, but the mountain is not high, but it is very large, and there are no fierce beasts. Therefore, children often go to the mountain to pick up dry branches and go home to burn fire.

Because he was walking against the wind, the speed was slower. Du Yuhan took Du Haifeng to walk for half an hour before he reached the foot of the mountain. The brother and brother scattered and began to pick up dry branches.

Du Yuhan saw that his younger brother had separated from her and realized that he entered the space and took out the quail eggs she found in a restaurant in the space mall last time.

Although quail eggs are small, they are rich in nutrients and are the only ones that can serve as wild bird eggs.

There are many eggs in the space, and others will recognize them as eggs at a glance. However, pheasants are rarely seen on this mountain, so she has no excuse to take them out. Only the boxes of quail eggs she found can be used.

She found several places in the woods to pretend to be a few bird nests, and put some quail eggs in them. After she was ready, she shouted to her eldest brother Du Haifeng: "Haifeng, come on, see what did I encounter?"

Du Haifeng immediately ran over when he heard his sister's shout.

Du Yuhan happily pointed to a nest of bird eggs and said, "Haifeng, look, I encountered a nest of bird eggs."

Du Haifeng looked at the more than ten bird eggs in a bird nest in the grass on the ground with his sister in surprise, and shouted excitedly: "Sister, it's great, this bird egg can be taken home and cooked."

Du Yuhan nodded happily and said, "Yes, you can cook and eat when you go home, and add some nutrition to your second and younger brothers. You are also looking around. I just saw wild birds flying away before I followed this nest of eggs."

Du Haifeng nodded excitedly and began to search carefully. Soon after, he found a nest, which made the ten-year-old Du Haifeng very excited.

This is something to eat. As long as you hide it secretly and don’t let others discover it, you can give your brother several meals.

Du Haifeng was stimulated by the bird egg found, and continued to search, but after finding three more nests, he never found them again.

Du Haifeng was already very satisfied. He didn't expect that he would have such a surprise when he followed his elder sister out to pick up firewood today.

He had picked up firewood with his elder sister and met bird eggs before, but he had never encountered several nests at once. Today, he was very lucky.

Du Haifeng carefully put the bird eggs together and counted for a long time. There were forty-three, which was really a lot.

Du Haifeng said: "Sister, we can't let the milk know about this, otherwise we won't even think about eating any of them."

Du Yuhan nodded and said, "Then you need to say it? We can't take them all home, we have to hide them. We secretly cook them when we take them home and cook them secretly. We eat them at night when we go to bed. We will break them and mix them in the porridge for the little brother, so that he won't accidentally say it out."

Du Haifeng nodded and said, "Yes, we must be careful. Where should we hide these bird eggs?"

Du Yuhan said: "Dig a small hole in a while, lay hay, and bury the bird eggs. Let's keep the location and take some back when we come to pick up firewood."

They did it as soon as they were done. The siblings dug a small hole with thick branches and hatches, laying hay, gently putting the bird eggs in, and then covering them with a layer of hay and leaves. No one could find it.

The siblings carried a bundle of dry branches, each carrying a few bird eggs in his pocket. They walked home with a few bird eggs along the way. They were both careful, probably breaking the eggs.

After eating, both the siblings felt warm and they didn't even feel cold when the whistling wind blew on their bodies.

After returning home, Du Yuhan hurriedly hid the bird eggs. He could not ask anyone outside their second room to discover it, otherwise it would trigger a family war.

The Du family only eats two meals in winter. Except for one in the morning, the other meal will not be eaten until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Du Yuhan and his younger brother came back, they were already cooking at home. It was Du Yuhan's aunt and cousin who were cooking.

Cooking is a good job, and you can also steal a few bites when people are not paying attention. Such a good thing is not the turn of their second bedroom.
