It was full of hens, some of them still laying eggs.

Looking at those oval, white, freshly laid eggs.

Jia Dongxu kept swallowing his saliva.

If we take this egg home, they can make a pot of egg drop soup, and we'll have a hearty breakfast this morning.

If they catch another old hen and stew it for lunch today, their family can have chicken and chicken soup for lunch.

But then he suddenly shook his head violently.

“No, He Hongyang and I live in the same courtyard. If I eat eggs and drink chicken soup, won’t I be discovered very quickly?”

"It's too dangerous. You absolutely can't make it at home. You have to take it outside."

Correct!

Let's go outside!

The best way is to take the family to a secluded place and then roast them over a fire.

In the past, some people would wrap chickens in mud to make beggar's chicken.

I'll bring some salt from home later.

It must be incredibly delicious!

Just thinking about the taste of beggar's chicken, and the admiring looks in my family's eyes...

He was incredibly proud of himself.

They also became bolder.

He reached one hand into the chicken coop.

He grabbed it suddenly and then stuffed it into the sack.

Then he wanted to steal eggs.

But the chickens were startled and kept clucking.

Startled, Jia Dongxu scrambled away and ran away as fast as he could.

I was afraid the chickens in the sack would flap around wildly.

They simply tied the sack tightly with rope.

"Mom, get up quickly."

Jia Zhangshi had just fallen asleep.

Still half-asleep, he asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Come out with me, I have something good for you."

Jia Zhangshi jumped up: "What is it? Is it something to eat?"

Seeing her son nod, she was so happy she wanted to hug him immediately: "I knew it! My son is the most capable! Can I see what delicious food he has?"

"You'll know when you get outside."

They went in again to call the Qin sisters.

"Come out with me quickly, let's go get something delicious."

Upon hearing that there was food, the two hurriedly followed him outside.

The family of four hurriedly left the courtyard and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.

As Qin Jingru passed by those restaurants, she couldn't help but want to stop.

She thought Jia Dongxu had a change of heart and wanted to take her out to a restaurant.

But he didn't stop walking at all.

We had no choice but to keep going.

"You should tell us in advance what kind of food it is and where it is."

Looking at the burlap sack in his hand: "Since you're out to eat, why are you carrying a burlap sack? Is there something in it?"

He was about to touch his sack when he said that.

Jia Dongxu said nervously, "You'll know when we get to 727 outside the city. Don't ask any questions or move now."

"We still have to go outside the city. Are you trying to send me home? Let me tell you, I'm staying at your house now and I'm not going back."

Madam Jia glared at her: "If my son tells you to shut up, then shut up. You little girl keep chattering away."

Qin Huairu, however, felt that this matter was suspicious.

She knew that Jia Dongxu didn't have a single penny in his pocket.

In the blink of an eye, he can get food?

His eyes were fixed on the sack.

She felt that the food was inside.

But why not tell them now?

Did he steal it?

who cares!

As long as there's food, they don't care if it's stolen or even robbed.

They went all the way outside the city and found a secluded hillside.

Then he took the chicken out of the sack.

When everyone saw the chicken, they were all so shocked that their mouths dropped open.

"My God, there was a chicken in the sack, it looked like it weighed seven or eight pounds."

"Where did you get this? Did you buy it? You don't have any money or food coupons, so where did you buy it?"

"Judging from your secretive behavior just now, you didn't steal it, did you? Where did you steal it from?"

Jia Zhangshi had learned her lesson from stealing.

Upon hearing them say that the chicken was stolen...

She was so scared that her mouth was trembling.

"If anyone finds out, they'll arrest you. Whose house did you steal from? Go back to them right now."

Jia Dongxu looked at everyone's surprised and admiring expressions.

I feel so satisfied!

He was somewhat afraid before.

So now.

Just as Liu Haizhong said, the He family was raising the animals secretly, and even if they stole them, they wouldn't dare to make a fuss.

"Don't worry, I promise you'll have meat to eat."

"Take a good look, this tastes much better than yesterday's meat buns."

"You all say I'm capable, right? I'm amazing, right!"

The Qin sisters nodded repeatedly.

Although they were also afraid.

But Jia Dongxu stole the chicken, and he said it was nothing, so what were they afraid of?

Nothing is more important than eating it.

Moreover, they are currently outside the city.

Even if we eat this chicken, no one will notice.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and think of what to do. I can't wait any longer."

"My mouth is watering so much, are we going to be able to eat chicken soon?"

...

After Zhao Ailing got up, the first thing she did was feed the chickens.

When I brought the chopped cabbage to the chicken coop...

They discovered that one chicken was missing.

She feeds the chickens twice a day, morning and evening, and counts them carefully each time she feeds them.

(aeec) How come there's one missing?

Counted again.

That's right, one is missing!

The chicken coop door clearly showed signs of being tampered with.

Their chickens were stolen?!

A thief has broken into the courtyard house?!

She wanted to shout and ask who had stolen her chickens.

But I soon realized it.

If you raise your own chickens secretly, and then announce it publicly, wouldn't everyone know?

He rushed to He Hongyang's house in a hurry.

"One of our chickens has been stolen."

Wang Liying immediately asked, "Did you count them carefully?"

"I counted them several times, but one was still missing."

When did it go missing?

"It was either last night or this morning."

"If there's only one chicken missing, what about the eggs?"

"I also find it strange. The number of eggs these chickens lay each day is counted, so the number of eggs should not be less."

"And what's more, one chicken is missing. If he was going to steal it, why did he only steal one? If he was going to steal the chicken, why didn't he steal the eggs too?"

He Hongyang had already grasped the gist of their conversation from listening to them.

He never expected that his chickens would be stolen.

This chicken has been kept in the yard for more than just a day or two.

They were caught red-handed and still dared to steal it.

It seems he's got some nerve!

They only stole one chicken.

This shows that the person made the decision on the spur of the moment and is also extremely timid!

Otherwise, seeing so many chickens...

They'll definitely steal all the chickens and eggs.

He inspected the chicken coop.

Who do you think stole this chicken?

That's ok.

This person lives in the courtyard house.

People in the front yard rarely go to the middle and back yards, so it's hard to find the chicken coop.

It seems to have been done by people in the backyard and the middle yard.

The Xu and Liu families were excluded from the backyard.

When Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies, the village would sometimes give him a chicken.
