Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 66 – The Hens Are All Broody

During Su Danhong’s confinement, her body was extremely uncomfortable everywhere.

Yet, her body recovered very quickly. In less than ten days, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her health.

She knew that the reason why she recovered so well most likely had to do with the spiritual spring water. Thus, wasn’t it necessary for her to drink it all year round?

She was in good health.

So when she was confident that her body was well, she asked to wash up. She could only wipe her body since she gave birth, and it was very uncomfortable.

But Ji Jianyun refused and coaxed his wife nicely. He was afraid that she would get a fever during confinement. Mother Ji had a fever during confinement in the past. Once winter came, she would feel pain in her waist. Aunt Yang was similar. The people of that generation did not live in good conditions.

Thus, Ji Jianyun was worried that her confinement wasn’t going well and that something was missing. There was more to lose than to gain during this period of time. But also, wasn’t it just a month of not bathing?

It was very common for them to not take a bath, especially now that it was getting cold, okay?

Aside from their family, which other family took a bath every day?

His wife used to be very lazy, but she had changed for the better since the last time he came back. When he came back that time, he happened to see her wiping her body. He saw that the water seemed quite dirty and she looked embarrassed.

From that day on, she insisted on taking a bath every day, even if she did not sweat. When it was difficult to bathe in winter, she took a bowl back to her room to wipe her body.

Needless to say, Ji Jianyun liked it when she was clean.

But now that it was her confinement, how could she touch water?

“Jianyun, I won’t be touching water. Go and get me a basin of hot water. I’ll wipe myself quickly. As long as I don’t catch a cold, I’ll be fine. If not, I’ll be unhappy,” Su Danhong said.

After Ji Jianyun was persuaded, he went to boil some water for her.

Looking at this bucket of boiling water, Su Danhong felt very helpless.

Ji Jianyun also felt that it was a little hot, so he had to wait for the boiling water to cool a little with her. Once it was not too hot, he helped squeeze a towel for her.

Su Danhong carefully wiped herself. Afterwards, she felt much better. There was a lot of hot water leftover, so she also wiped her feet.

“Oh, it feels so nice.” After she finished wiping and changing her clothes, she sighed and lay back down in the bed.

Ji Jianyun found it funny and looked at her helplessly. “When your confinement is over, I won’t stop you if you want to take a bath.”

Su Danhong waved her hand and asked him to carry out the dirty water. She was a little embarrassed when she looked at the bucket of water.

When Ji Jianyun came back, Xiao Renren had just woken up and Su Danhong was playing with him.

After only ten days, his appearance had changed greatly. He was white and tender, his eyes were black and bright, and he looked very energetic. He knew that his mother was playing with him. He was also very happy. He grinned, and his small hands also wanted to grab his mother’s hand. He caught it and wanted to put it in his mouth.

Ji Jianyun came in and saw this scene. His heart was melting.

“Honey, are you hungry?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“Not yet,” Su Danhong replied. “Help him. It’s almost time for him to pee.”

Ji Jianyun nodded. After ten days of taking care of them, he has successfully transformed into a dad nanny. He was experienced in changing his son’s diapers.

Before, when he did not have any experience, Xiao Renren was not very comfortable when a diaper was placed on him. However, his father had made a lot of progress. Xiao Renren made a noise to say that he would tolerate it.

After peeing, Su Danhong held him so he could eat. After eating, it was almost time to go to sleep, then wake up and pee again…

It’s pretty much the same process on repeat.

Su Danhong watched her son yawn and go to sleep. She was a little sleepy. Nothing could compare to the feeling of having her body wiped down.

“Honey, go to sleep first. I’m going up the mountain to have a look at things. I’ll be back soon,” Ji Jianyun said.

It’s almost three o’clock in the afternoon, and Su Danhong really felt like taking a nap.

“Okay, you should go.” Su Danhong nodded.

Ji Jianyun ordered Da Hei to take good care of the dammit. Then, he closed the door and went out.

As soon as he left, Su Danhong put on thick clothes and wrapped herself to the point where only her eyes were exposed.

Although she also felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, she still needed to be careful. She came out to add some spiritual spring water to the tank and to water the chrysanthemums with it. She also gave half a bowl of the spiritual spring water to Da Hei. Da Hei was very happy and wagged his tail at her before going over to drink the water.

After Su Danhong finished everything, she went back to the room.

Don’t blame her for acting like this. Truthfully, she was just used to the taste of the spiritual spring water. Ordinary water was better once spiritual spring water was added. Plus, food was even better with spiritual spring water.

Once she came back, she went to sleep with her son.

Ji Jianyun came back in about 20 minutes. He stayed for a while and then came down. Father Ji was on the mountain and Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang took turns to keep watch. Currently, there were only a dozen sheep on the mountain.

Mother Ji also came and had something to ask him. “Jianyun, there are many hens in the village that have begun to brood their nests for the eggs to hatch. The three hens left in our family are also broody. Do you want to buy some chicks from the villagers and raise them on the mountain? When they are grown, you can sell some at the start of next spring. Anyway, your father is guarding the sheeps on the mountain every day.”

Father Ji lived in the mountain now because the three ferocious grown dogs were there too. Mother Ji sent him food every day. If there was an emergency, one of them would run down to inform them, so Ji Jianyun was not worried.

Father Ji would usually stroll around the mountain during the day. He spent most of his time on the mountain, but he liked it.

Thus, Mother Ji had this idea. He still needed to look after the sheep, so he might as well look after the chickens too.

There were more than a dozen hens in the family that were given to Su Danhong for her confinement. The three left behind were really good at laying eggs, and laid two eggs a day. Mother Ji did not kill them. If they needed one, Aunt Yang also had hens.

Now that the three hens were broody, Mother Ji chose fertilized eggs for them to hatch. The rooster she used was borrowed from the village.

Three hens could hatch about twenty chicks.

Thus, there would be many chicks, but there were also many families in the village who would have a lot of chicks.

Next spring, if a family bought a dozen chickens, then the amount of money to be made would be a lot.

That’s why Mother Ji came to see her son. After all, he didn’t have any income now. He was spending money every day, and he had to pay Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang every month.

Ji Jianyun was grateful for what his mother said and replied, “Mother, I’ll ask my wife later to see if she wants to do it.”

Mother Ji thought, why do you need to ask your wife about raising chickens?

But when she thought of her daughter-in-law and the Great Fox Immortal, she immediately nodded. “Yes, you should ask.”

Whether they could raise chickens or not would depend on the Great Fox Immortal. It was definitely going to be profitable next year. If they didn’t do it this time, they could consider it again next year.
