Who will incubate the eggs after Chapter 481?

Fu Yu never told anyone that he actually enjoyed Qiao Qiao's covetousness of his mind.

That would make him feel that he was different from the other brothers in her eyes.

Especially when she looks at him with starry eyes, his heart overflows with a satisfaction that cannot be expressed in words.

Upon hearing these words, the little figure inside the bubble on Qiao Qiao's head indeed drooled profusely, almost drowning itself.

“…” Three boys.

Is this a question of whether or not it's disturbing?

This is a matter of face!

They were in the same class as a younger brother who was five years younger than them, and the younger brother was going to skip to the third year of junior high school within a year. Didn't they have any pride?

Despite the boys' resistance, Fu Yu enrolled in the junior high school in Hongfeng Town.

Every morning, Qiao Qiao would watch him go to school with his backpack, and to be honest, she was a little envious.

She probably won't have the chance to go back to school, and even if she does, it will be after she hatches.

Yes, it hatched.

Why did this word suddenly appear?

Because after learning that Qiao Qiao might molt into a dragon egg ahead of schedule, her two fathers bought a bunch of books on oviparous animals to cram for studying.

It just so happens that this is the time when the hen is incubating her eggs.

Once, Qiao Changdong and his friends went back to their hometown for a meal. After the meal, Qiao Changdong put a straw hat on Qiao Qiao to cover the increasingly noticeable small bump on her forehead, and then carried her around the village to help her digest.

They were about to return to town when they discovered they couldn't find Shen Qingyan anywhere.

After searching for a long time, they finally found the person squatting in the backyard of the Qiao family, in front of a thatched hut made of haystacks, staring in one direction, seemingly looking at something.

"What are you looking at?" Qiao Changdong asked suspiciously, leaning over to look, but Shen Qingyan was too big and blocked his view, so he couldn't see what he was looking at.

Upon hearing Qiao Changdong's question, Shen Qingyan pursed her thin lips tightly and did not answer, but the tips of her ears turned red. She replied haphazardly, "I didn't see anything."

Then she hurriedly added, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here, don't bring the baby here."

As he spoke, he pushed Qiao Changdong, who was carrying Qiao Qiao, away from this place.

Their behavior and expressions were very furtive, like they were doing something wrong.

Qiao Changdong narrowed his eyes and pretended not to care as he was pushed a couple of steps. But the moment Shen Qingyan thought he was really going to leave and withdrew his hand, he darted back.

Then Qiao Changdong could no longer see a hen that was brooding!

It is already mid-May.

The weather is getting quite hot, so it's not really suitable for hens to hatch chicks anymore.

The best incubation period is March and April, and the chicks should be hatched no later than before the busy farming season. During this period, the temperature is moderate and the sunlight is sufficient, resulting in a high survival rate.

However, the batch that Grandma Qiao hatched in early April was taken away during the last few days of the busy farming season. Although she asked a family in the village with whom she had good relationships to help take care of them, the only thing they could do was to release them during the day and bring them back at night.

Once they're taken back, there's no way to manage what happens when they return to their nests.

When no one was home, most of a brood of chicks were killed by a weasel.

In rural areas, the eggs for the year and the chickens to be slaughtered for the New Year all depend on this batch of hatched chicks.

Devastated by the weasels, Fang Zhengnan and Grandma Qiao had no choice but to urgently incubate another brood.

If that doesn't work, then go buy chicks.

But for Grandma Qiao and Fang Zhengnan, buying chicks was a last resort.

Chicks without a mother hen have a low survival rate; the mother hen has to incubate them herself for a higher survival rate.

The hen has only been brooding for four or five days now.

After finishing their meal, Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti took Qiao Qiao for a stroll in the village to digest their food.

Shen Qingyan has a rather aloof personality and is not good at interacting with outsiders.

Every time I come to Qiaojia Village, except for the time I went to the ancestral graves with the Qiao family to pay respects, the farthest I ever went was outside the courtyard and the alley next door.

But most of the time, I still obediently stay at home and wait, looking at the chickens and ducks in the yard, and the pigs in the backyard.

Today, I overheard Fang Zhengnan instructing Qiao Changhong to take the chicken feeder to the back and place it next to the brooding hen.

When a hen is brooding, she usually doesn't want to leave the nest. To prevent her from starving, Fang Zhengnan would put some chicken feed near her nest.

When Shen Qingyan first heard the term "brooding hen," she didn't understand what it meant. Curious, she followed Qiao Changhong to the backyard and realized that the brooding hen was a hen that was incubating eggs.

Looking at the hen nestled beneath him with a dozen or so eggs, Shen Qingyan instantly thought of his future daughter, who would also transform into a dragon egg.

After Qiao Changhong put down the chicken feed, he didn't leave. Instead, he pretended to be curious and looked at the fruit trees outside the backyard gate with a very serious expression.

After Qiao Changhong left, scratching the back of his head and wondering what was so interesting about the trees, he squatted down in front of the hen and began to study them.

I hope to learn something from their experience.

Little did they know, Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao would catch them red-handed.

Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao weren't fools; as soon as they saw the hen incubating the eggs, they understood what it meant.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the father and his two daughters was eerily silent.

The eerie silence wasn't broken until the journey back to town.

Qiao Changdong sat in the back seat, holding Qiao Qiao in his arms. He looked at Shen Qingyan, who was driving, and suddenly asked him a surprising question: "Will you incubate the eggs from now on, or will I?"

"!!!" Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan, who was driving, almost drove the car directly into the river.

"I...I...I...Go away! Shen Qingyan, are you trying to murder your own mother?!" Yan Liti, sitting in the passenger seat, screamed in terror as she looked at the river so close at hand.

Fortunately, Shen Qingyan stepped on the brakes in time, preventing the tragedy of all four family members drowning in the river.

At this time.

Yan Liti belatedly asked the two men, "Incubating eggs? What do you mean by incubating eggs? What kind of eggs are you going to incubate?"

Shen Qingyan's face was already incredibly red.

Doing something is one thing, but saying it is another.

Although Shen Qingyan had already prepared to personally incubate his daughter when Qiao Qiao said she would transform into a dragon egg.

But he was, after all, a normal human being, and had no idea how to incubate eggs.

He has recently bought a lot of related books to read, but no matter how much he reads, it's all just theoretical.

Just then, the Qiao family's hen was incubating eggs, so he naturally wanted to learn from their experience.

But it's best to just understand this process yourself; it's really... embarrassing to talk about it!

But Qiao Changdong didn't feel ashamed at all, and even spoke with great enthusiasm.
