Mei Zhijun and his family walked all the way back to the village, and then washed with exhaustion, fed the chickens, geese and pigs at home, and finally went to the garden to pinch vegetables and cook, and the other went to the southernmost part of the village to fetch water for the garden.

As for Mei Yali, she had already persuaded Mei Zhijun to keep the rabbit in an empty livestock shed for the time being.

The barn is said to be a "shed", but it is actually a house made of adobe bricks, but it is much more simple than a house for people to live in.

The solid ground was compacted, the four walls were bare, and the walls were enclosed by a large room with only two stone troughs, and the entrance and exit of the house were open high and wide, and there were no doors like ordinary houses.

The reason why this is done is to keep the roof and walls at bay for the family's livestock - for farmers, livestock is an important asset in the family, and if they die of illness, it will definitely be a great loss for the whole family.

Because there was no door in the livestock shed, She Yufen first found the four largest wicker baskets and detained the four hares into them.

As for how to raise this rabbit in the future, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen also have a plan.

It's easy to say what the rabbit wants to eat, she has no shortage of vegetables and radishes, and the grass is all over the mountains, so they just need to get some back every day.

The most troublesome thing is the door of the barn, after all, rabbits can't always be buckled in the basket.

But fortunately, Mei Zhijun has an idea, and he has decided to make a simple barbed wire fence with the wood and wire left over from building the house.

As for the real door, to be honest, neither Mei Zhijun nor She Yufen thought that Mei Yali's rabbits would be able to raise them until the day they were farming.

If that were the case, then there would be no need for a real door.

The two didn't know that their daughter was actually trying her best to raise rabbits in order to make money, so their estimation of the situation was too optimistic.

In the near future, they were surprised to find that the rabbits in the family had changed from four to ten, and all of them had grown and fattened.

Just when She Yufen was hesitating whether to give them away or even throw away a few, Mei Yali actually offered to let Mei Zhijun help him catch rabbits.

Although this time she wanted the rabbits in the field that had only been born for less than a month, She Yufen was still uncontrollably worried.

She asked Mei Yali: "Girl, don't we already have rabbits in our family?" Why do you want more? ”

Mei Yali tilted her little head, and jumped out of She Yufen with a serious face, "Eat." Much, well. ”

She Yufen: ......

What about saying that you like small animals?

What the hell is eating?

"More, good" means more is better?

She Yufen was messy in the wind, but Mei Zhijun laughed and lifted Mei Yali up, "My daughter is smart!" Look at the eldest brother and their little Hongjie, when they are hungry, they only know that they cry for rats, which is like my daughter, who knows that they raise rabbits. ”

The person Mei Zhijun said, his full name is Mei Hongjie, and he is the son of Mei Zhijun's elder brother.

In Taizi Village, except for the period before and after the New Year, basically every household eats pickles and vegetables.

Not to mention meat, even eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs cannot be eaten open.

In most people's homes, housewives will save chickens, ducks and goose eggs and take them to collect daily necessities such as changing oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

On such days, adults can say, where can children not be greedy.

Things like crying and eating rats were done by at least three or four of the ten gluttonous boys when they were young.

She Yufen was quite speechless about Mei Zhijun's self-selling and boasting behavior of selling melons, she frowned and worried, "There are more than a dozen of them in the family now, and you still help her catch them, where did we have so much time to help her feed the rabbits?" ”

Mei Zhijun didn't take this matter seriously at all, he put down Mei Yali, "It's a big deal, let's go back for a while every night, whatever." ”

She Yufen was defeated, "Whatever you want, it's not me who is tired anyway." ”

That was how things were set, and in the months that followed, Mei Yali would ask Mei Zhijun to help her get a few rabbits home every once in a while.

Of course, she didn't just go in or out.

Every once in a while, she would take She Yufen to help her stew rabbits and eat.

Of course, she can't eat much as a small person.

The vast majority of rabbit meat actually went into the mouths of Mei Zhijun and She Yufen.

In addition, every time Mei Zhijun or She Yufen went to the market, Mei Yali would ask them to bring two rabbits to Majia Village, one for Old Man She and one for Wang Xiulan.

Because the family has no money, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen will not go to the market unless necessary.

At most, they only go to the big market in Heigang Township once a month.

The frequency of their rush to the market can basically be said to be the lowest in the entire Taizi Village, fortunately, Wang Xiulan feels sorry for her daughter, Old Man She and Old Lady She feel sorry for her granddaughter, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and threads, these essential things for life, they will carry She Fenggang and his son on their backs every once in a while, and secretly ask Mei Yali's eldest aunt and second aunt to help bring some to She Yufen.

Mei Yali took the initiative to quit milk powder, milk beans (a milky biscuit, small round like beans), sugar, which are specially designed for children, and asked She Yufen to give her eggs, goose eggs, and millet oil at home to replenish her body.

Although She Yufen thinks that it is a little strange that her daughter does not like to eat sweet things such as milk powder, milk beans, and sugar, she Yufen is still extremely happy to be able to replace milk powder and milk beans that are not cost-effective with eggs, goose eggs, and millet produced by her own family and received by her mother.

Time passed quickly in the diligent work of Mei Zhijun and She Yufen, and it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and although the two people who collected all the food into the house were tired and lost several pounds, they always had a relaxed and satisfied smile on their faces.

With these harvests in the fields this year, they can finally return all the money and grain they owe to Wang Xiulan.

As for other things.

Some of the vegetables in their yard that were growing well entered their stomachs, and some were dried or pickled by them, and put away for the winter.

The same is true of the mushrooms that She Yufen picked up on the mountains in summer and autumn, except for a small half that they eat, most of the rest turned into dried mushrooms.

And their chickens, geese, and rabbits.

The numbers of chickens and geese have not changed in any way, but most of the eggs they lay have been eaten and sold, and only a very small part has been left, either marinated into salted eggs or stored in the shade of the stove at home.

And the rabbits that Mei Yali raised in a fuss have now changed from the original four to a large group of more than 100 rabbits after several months of importation.

Excluding the rabbits that have been left and the rabbits that have not yet grown up, Mei Yali and her family can eat or sell at least 80 rabbits this year.

That's a lot of money like selling a big fat pig.
