In the spring of this year, he and his third sister went to the village chief's house to buy some chick and ducklings. After half a year, these chickens and ducks have all grown big and strong.
However, they only weight about one or two pounds each. Once the feathers and innards are removed, there's barely enough for Chai Eying to eat alone.
He picked the fattest rooster to slaughter, leaving the hens to lay eggs. The eggs are a good supplement for the mother and her children, as instructed by their mother.
Nanny Jiang watched him busy at work and repeatedly said, "Young master, leave it, let me do it. How can you men do such chores?"
Li Xingmao laughed, "Nanny, you have to cook. Let me handle the chicken. It's not that difficult a task."
Nanny Jiang chuckled, "The lady is pregnant, the young master has to bear the burden."
Li Xingmao laughed, "I'm not burdened at all, just helping a bit. She's the one who's really going through a lot."
