Xibao looked at Zhou Fengchun with an incomprehensible gaze and accused, "Liar, liars are not good children. Eggs taste better than pickles, who would prefer pickles over eggs?"
"It's a goose egg," corrected Lu's father.
They did not raise geese in their own household, but the descendants of Grandpa Lu had geese, with each family keeping them in proportion to their member count, which was not an insignificant number. Of course, no household was allowed to have more than three chickens, ducks, or geese, as that would be considered capitalism.
Feng Qingxue was not at home, and the food would not have been very good, but Lu's father and Brother Guan Cheng had gone to great lengths to ensure Xibao's diet. The eggs laid by the three chickens at home were all for Xibao to eat, as well as those specifically given to Xibao by others. They often asked Zhang Yuejin to buy some meat and scarce food items that cost money but did not require ration tickets from the city.
