Xia Cao and Xia Maihe were bending down to mow the grass at this time, and their two small bodies were submerged in the high grass pile. From time to time, his whole body shook with the scythe in his hand. From a distance, two live rabbits came out to feed.

"Second brother, cut the tender ones, rabbits love to eat." Xia Cao reminded Xia Mai He that the rabbit that grows fat and tender is pleasing to people, and the dry pot is more delicious. In addition, eat more, in the spring season, good mating production. "Food and clothing ****" Xia Cao thinks that it is also suitable to rest here with animals.

Thinking of the endless stream of rabbits in the future, the speed in Xia Cao's hands increased a lot. The sun overhead also reduced the heat and dryness a little.

As the sun sets, the afterglow dyes the entire cyan into a golden red, and the breeze blows, and the weeds also spread with the wind, twisting their bodies gently and dancing, like elves in flames.

Xia Maihe looked at the slanting sunset, and then looked at the weeds in the back basket, some of which had already emerged, stood up straight, and shouted to Xia Cao: "Sister, let's go home!" That's enough to eat! Anyway, after eating this meal, I have to slaughter it tomorrow. ”

"Second brother, let's wait and let my father leave those little rabbits, and now we don't have a few taels of meat, which is not enough for one person in our family, so let's fatten them and slaughter them." Xia Cao said, pulling her second brother to be her partner in the breeding industry.

Today's mowing made Xia Cao realize that she was responsible alone, and those rations would be difficult to get to the sky, and the next afternoon's small waist would be too tired to get up. has to develop partners, and the second brother at home has time, and is willing to accompany her to mess around.

Xia Maihe thought that what his sister said was quite reasonable, if he mowed the grass every day, he would have an excuse, and he didn't have to wander under his eldest brother's nose. It's nice not to have to read those Analects and Universities. The more Xia Maihe thought about it, the more beautiful his heart became.

Xia Maihe, who had figured it out, nodded violently and agreed, and I will pack a pair of rabbit forage in the future.

When they passed by the rice fields in the village, they found that many villagers had not yet returned, and they were still immersed in sowing seeds, competing for many seconds, as if the seeds would germinate earlier.

When Xia Cao and the others returned home, the bamboo in the yard was cleaned up by the eldest brother and her father, and the finished bamboo tubes were also neatly arranged, a bit like a general ordering soldiers, Xia Cao estimated that her obsessive-compulsive eldest brother made it.

Daddy was holding a knife in the yard against a piece of mahogany, carefully carving. The eldest brother had already gone into the kitchen to cook.

Xia Cao and Xia Maihe came back to chop the wild vegetables that had just been picked back and fed them to the chickens, and the old people in the village said that they remembered that their eyes were not good, and when it was dark, they were blind, so they had to feed the chickens before dark.

Xia Cao held the green grass in her hand and teased the rabbit. In their rabbit nest, there are eight rabbits, three large and five small. Xia Cao stayed in the rabbit kennel for a short while, and then she couldn't stand it anymore. Don't look at the rabbit for nothing, but the smell is still quite big. Xia Cao hurriedly threw the tender grass everywhere, covered her nose and fled, and took a big gulp of fresh air before slowly coming back to her senses.

Xia Cao didn't expect to suffer so much from raising a rabbit, the smell of the rabbit nest was so stinky that it almost shook her determination to eat rabbits. Another day, she had to ask her mother to help her sew a few sachets.

After dinner, Xia Cao and Xia Maihe boiled and disinfected the bamboo tube made today.

The second batch of kudzu powder at home was also dried, and it felt more delicate and tender than the last time, with no large particles.

The Xia family was busy for two days in the preparation of the steamed bun business, and Xia Cao's daily work was responsible for beating grass and feeding rabbits and pheasants. In the past two days, Dad has gone up the mountain to retrieve more than 20 rabbits and more than a dozen pheasants, and the workload of Xia Cao has greatly increased. Even her mother and eldest brother were pulled by her to clean the chicken coop and rabbit nest. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all, and of course such a unique taste should be "blessed and shared".

After a while, Xia Muhan will go to the town to be the head of the spring hunting competition, and there is no extra time to go into the mountains to hunt, so he has stocked up for the meat source at home these days.

The sky is not yet bright, it is still dark outside the window, and the jade rabbit in the night sky has not yet gotten off work, and it is still hanging high in the air.

The sound of ping-pong in the kitchen woke up Xia Cao, who was still asleep. Natsukusa got up with sleepy eyes and walked out of the room with dark eyes. She wanted to see which "big mouse" didn't have long eyes, and actually stole to her house.

But the scene Xia Cao saw made her silent for a long time, staring at the scene in front of her.

Under the faint candlelight, Xia Muhan was making dough, his mother was making buns next to him, and there was a large pot of meat and vegetarian stuffing on the table.

It seems that his father got up at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night and slaughtered chickens and rabbits. Before she went to bed last night, there was no meat left in the kitchen.

There is no pie falling from the sky, the eldest brother and the father want the best buns with fresh ingredients, and this bun must be made in the middle of the night in order to become people's breakfast.

Xia Cao saw that the eldest brother and the second brother didn't get up, and the emotional father and mother were hiding from the three of them and plotting to do it. Xia Cao thought that the grandmother who adopted her in her previous life was the same, they had any dirty work, hard work, they all endured it silently and never confided.

"Mother, I want to make buns too." Natsukusa's words cut through the quiet night.

Su Shi and Xia Muhan were stunned, there was a trace of surprise on their faces, and they all looked at Xia Cao.

"Xia Cao, what's wrong?" Su Shi's gentle voice sounded with a hint of softness, thinking that she and Brother Han's movements were already careful, and they shouldn't make any noise to a few children, why did this little grass get up?

In fact, they are not to blame, because Xia Cao lived alone in her previous life, and as long as there was a little noise at night, she would wake up. There is always paranoia of victimization. Thought it was someone who burgled, stolen, well, and raped.

Xia Cao didn't say much, tiptoed to the table, sat down familiarly, and snuggled next to her mother.

"Dad, give me a piece of skin." Xia Cao looked at Xia Muhan and said.

"Xiaocao, don't mess around! It's cool at night. Will catch a cold, go to sleep. Daddy's gentle tone was mixed with a hint of sternness, like an order from above.

Xia Muhan thought of the falling water and fever on Xia Cao, he almost thought that his baby girl was so dead and would never come back. At that time, he never wanted to experience the helplessness, helplessness, and torment in his heart anymore. Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and Xia Cao is not only fine, but also has her brain closed. From then on, he would not allow anything to go wrong with his precious daughter's body.

Xia Cao looked at the cold light in her father's eyes, and her body couldn't help but shiver, it seemed that it was really cold at night, and she was close to her mother to keep warm.

"Xiaocao, you just listen to your father, hurry up and go back to sleep, when the buns are out of the cage, you will definitely be the first to wake you up." Su said, touching Xia Cao's head with his elbow.

Xia Cao watched her mother and father drive her away one by one, and she was defeated by two, and her hope of staying here was definitely dashed.

Could it be that she misunderstood, this is a little love between the father and the mother, she stirred up the two-person world of the two of them, and the romantic night was interrupted by her, so the two of them were in a hurry to drive her away, not to make buns, but to give birth to buns?

Reluctantly, Natsukusa got up and left, returning to her house. Will Xia Cao be willing to leave like this, of course not?
