Seeing the old village chief like this, Fangyuan felt a little funny, and suddenly realized that the old village chief turned out to be very cute.

"I want rabbits, and I will give you a pair of small rabbits. Then you will give me a pair of big rabbits."

At first glance, Fangyuan's request was too much. He asked someone to give back a pair of big rabbits to a pair of small rabbits, but the old village chief's eyes lit up.

You must know that rabbits are very capable of reproducing. A pair of rabbits can breed dozens of rabbits in a year even during the growing period.

Therefore, it is not excessive at all for Fangyuan to ask for a pair of big rabbits, or even less.

"Are you telling the truth?" the old village chief looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief and asked.

"Of course it's true. I don't think I need to lie to you!"

"That's true."

It is spring now, and the grass on the mountains has grown. It can be said that it is a good time to raise rabbits. If we get a group of small rabbits for them at this time, by autumn, every household will have a large group of rabbits.

By that time, the village may no longer be short of food. Don’t forget, rabbits can not only eat themselves, but can also be exchanged for food.

"Fang Yuan, when can you send the little rabbit over?" The old village chief was a little anxious.

Fangyuan thought for a while and said: "Just for these few days, I will go back tomorrow. Can you ask the village to prepare a batch of rabbit cages for me?"

"No problem, what's so difficult about this? Now, I'll ask everyone to go up the mountain and chop wattle. I think it will be almost ready for you in one day."

For the villagers, this thing is indeed not difficult, because they can make it, and the rabbit cage is unlike other rabbit cages, as long as the rabbit cannot escape.

"Okay, then prepare fifty rabbit cages for me, preferably the ones that can hold two big rabbits."

"Okay." The old village chief agreed, then stood up and walked outside, forgetting to even say hello to Fangyuan.

Looking at the back of the old village chief, Fang Yuan shook his head. This old village chief was really resolute, and he basically just said what he was doing.

In fact, the reason why the old village chief is like this is also because of Fangyuan, because the old village chief knows that Fangyuan will not lie to him, and there is no need to lie to him.

Could it be that people came here just to defraud him of fifty rabbit cages? Those things are worthless. To put it bluntly, someone will make them for him if he is given some food.

After staying alone in the granary for a while, Fangyuan felt bored, so she came out of the granary. When she came outside, she found that the whole village, men, women, old and young, were all out.

Everyone walked back to the mountain in groups, everyone holding either a sickle or a hatchet in their hand.

Needless to say, I probably went to cut wattle trees. This is the most indispensable thing on the mountain.

Fangyuan thought for a while and followed. He hadn't gone to the mountains yet and wanted to see what the mountains here were like.

"Big brother." Fangyuan had just walked not far when a voice called out from behind him.

Fangyuan looked back and saw that it was the little boy who led him to look for fruit trees. Fangyuan smiled and said, "It's you? Why did you follow me here?"

Although all men, women, old and young were dispatched, the ones dispatched were all those who could carry it. This little guy didn’t look like he could carry it.

"Brother, the village chief grandpa said you want to get us little rabbits to raise. Is this true?" The little guy looked at Fang Yuan timidly and asked.

"It's true, why do you ask?"

"Brother, can you give us two more little rabbits?" The little guy lowered his head after saying this.

"Why do you want two more?" Fangyuan looked at the little guy with interest.

"I...I want to feed myself."

"You feed yourself?" Fang Yuan looked at the little guy in surprise and asked.

"Yeah!" The little guy nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely feed them well. From now on, I will go up the mountain to cut grass and feed them every day."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm!"

"Okay, I'll give you a few more later, but you have to remember to feed them well. I'll come and check them later."

"Yeah!" The little guy nodded quickly.

Fangyuan rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Okay, let's go play."

"Thank you, big brother." After saying this, the little guy ran away.

Looking at his back, Fangyuan thought of her childhood, of course not in this life, but in her previous life.

In his previous life, Fangyuan was born in the countryside of a national-level poverty-stricken county in Zhongyuan Province. When he was a few years old, someone would send used clothes to the village every year.

They are all clothes donated by some big cities. Although they are all old clothes, they are still good things in rural areas.

At that time, Fangyuan really wanted to ask the person who handed out the clothes if he could give him one more piece, but he didn't say it in the end.

Not because of anything else, but because he couldn't open his mouth and felt embarrassed.

Compared with himself at that time, the little guy was much braver than him. Even if it was for nothing else, he would agree to him just for the sake of Fangyuan.

They were just a few small rabbits, nothing to Fang Yuan. He even told the old village chief that he wanted big rabbits because he didn’t want the old village chief to feel that he was helping them.

We must know that the poorer people are, the more they need face, or dignity. Fangyuan exchanged the little rabbit with them for the big rabbit, just to leave their dignity to them.

When he came to the mountain behind the village, Fangyuan saw everyone cutting wattle branches. He did not go there, but walked a little further up the mountain alone.

But he didn't go far. The mountains are not plains. It would be very troublesome to get lost in the mountains. The most important thing is that the mountains are not safe.

After walking for a while, Fangyuan discovered that this mountain is simply a treasure land, with all kinds of wild fruit trees growing there.

That’s right, it’s a tree, because there are no fruits on it at all. It’s nothing if not a wild fruit tree.

Needless to say, the wild fruits on this tree should be picked and eaten by the villagers. Even if you are hungry, you can chew the bark of the tree, not to mention the wild fruits.

Fangyuan also discovered that there are so many persimmon trees on the mountain. All other fruit trees combined are less than one-tenth of the number of persimmon trees.

Although eating too much of this stuff is not good, if you make it into persimmons, you will still be very hungry.

But now it seems that the village did not make persimmons. They either ate them directly or exchanged them with grain from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Both of these possibilities are possible, and they are very likely. Although everyone is hungry, they still care so much and won't let them move during the day, and they will secretly do it at night.

The same goes for exchanging grain with supply and marketing cooperatives. Although persimmons are delicious, compared with grain, grain is more important.

"Let's go, stop looking."

I don’t know when the old village chief came behind Fangyuan. Needless to say, the villagers were probably afraid that Fangyuan would be in danger when he came to the mountain alone, so they told the old village chief.

"Oh, okay."

"Everyone has cut the thorns and is ready to go back and make rabbit cages."

"Well, by the way, old village chief, you will prepare a few cages with smaller holes for me later, and I will send you the little rabbits first."

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare it for you in a minute."

Following the old village chief back to the village, he saw that everyone was busy searching the rabbit cage, so Fangyuan and the old village chief returned to the granary.

"You take a rest here first, and I'll prepare a cage for you."

"Well, you go ahead, I'm not going out." Looking at the old village chief's eyes, Fangyuan still didn't understand what was going on.

"That's okay."

After the old village chief left, Fangyuan took off the kettle from his body, opened it and took a few sips, then hung it on his body again.

Whenever Fangyuan goes out, his essential equipment is a water bottle and a school bag. It is the same no matter where he goes. It has even become a habit.

In about half an hour, the old village chief brought over a dozen cages. These cages were not very big. If they were used to hold big rabbits, they could only hold two or three at most. But if they were used to hold small rabbits, they could hold more than ten or twenty.

No problem.

"Old village chief, how many households are there in the village?"

"Less than fifty households."

"Okay, I get it, let's have two couples per family."

"Okay, okay, two couples are enough for a family." The old village chief danced happily.

In fact, I don’t know where to put my hands, which makes people look like they are dancing.

Fangyuan knew that the old village chief was excited, because with these rabbits, the villagers would no longer go hungry after autumn.

"It's just these cages..." Fangyuan frowned as he looked at these cages. The old village chief could easily hold these dozen cages, but Fangyuan couldn't hold them. He could only hold a third of them at most.

"It's okay, I'll ask my boss to take you to the county seat."

"That's no problem."

Then the old village chief called his son over, the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man came pushing a bicycle. When he got here, he started to tie the cage to the bicycle.

The dozen cages are not heavy at all, but they take up a lot of space. When the old village chief brought them over, he carried a few on both arms, and then grabbed a few more in each hand before bringing them over.

The cage is easy to tie, just pass a rope through it and tie it directly to the back seat of the bicycle.

After seeing that the cage was fastened, Fangyuan said to the old village chief: "Then I'll leave first. I can rush back in the afternoon."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"Got it."

Fangyuan did not plan to let the old village chief's son take him to the county seat. Instead, he shouted to him when he was still some distance away from the county seat: "Uncle, just stop here."

The village chief's son stopped his bicycle, got off his bicycle and asked, "Aren't you going to the county seat?"

"No, a car will be here soon. I'll take the car back."

"Oh, that's it. That's okay. I'll wait for the bus with you. I'll leave when the bus comes."

There was no other way. His father told him before he came that he would deliver Fangyuan safely to the county seat.

"Uncle, please go back. I came here privately this time. People in our factory don't know. If they see you, it will be very troublesome."

"Ah! That's it. Okay, then I'll go back first and you be careful alone." The son of the old village chief said quickly.

He couldn't destroy the hope of the village just because of himself. He couldn't bear this responsibility.
