This year for New Year's, their family didn't have any fancy food, just the usual meals, because they were all focused on fixing up the house, so they didn't even buy meat. Luckily, they had three old hens at home. When the previous owner left, they wanted to kill and take them with them, but it was Zheng Kai who decided to keep them. Not just that, even the crops in the field fetched them over 60 yuan in total. It was precisely because Zheng Kai was generous in this aspect, hardly bargaining, that the former owners were so willing to give them the furniture as well.
The old hens laid three eggs each day, just enough for one per person.
Niuniu was already seven or eight months old, usually fed with formula, while her supplementary food was egg yolk and rice porridge, with the occasional addition of some vegetable puree.
