At past two in the afternoon, Zhou Xiuhua woke up.
Upon waking, she felt much lighter. Hearing sounds from the courtyard outside, she realized she was still at Da Niu’s house.
It turned out that the little kids had woken up an hour earlier when Zhang Shanni had just finished making a chicken coop. Coincidentally, a peddler selling chicks was calling out door to door, and Xie Tiesheng immediately bought six.
The chicklings were only a few cents each, but still more expensive than the rural prices. Buying six and taking good care of them was enough if none died of illness. Besides, the peddler would come around every ten to fifteen days, so they could always buy more if needed.
When the little kids came together, they heard the chirping "chirp chirp chirp" of the chicks in the yard, happily pecking around the vegetable patch, delighting them immensely.
Xiao Liu, being the oldest among the kids, knew that the chicks loved eating earthworms the most, and he particularly enjoyed gathering earthworms. With him leading, the four kids had a blast, forgetting the scare they had that morning.
Xiao Liu was also the most sensible one. From time to time, he would look up at the main house, clearly remembering that grandma was ill and sleeping inside.
Now, as Zhou Xiuhua appeared at the entrance of the main house, Xiao Liu was the first to notice.
"Grandma!" As soon as Xiao Liu looked up, he saw Zhou Xiuhua slowly walking to the doorway. He joyfully dropped the earthworms in his hand, leaped up, and dashed toward grandma!
