In the evening, Su Sanmei told Su Sanlang about this matter.
"Dad, it's better to separate that bad gray rabbit. It'll be much better if it plucks out all their fur."
Su Sanmei was a little angry. She didn't dare to look at it. As long as she didn't look at it, the gray rabbit went to pluck the hairs of other rabbits.
Su Sanlang is also a little worried. Now that they are raised separately, he has no extra cage.
Mrs. Zhao vaguely heard it, and she had a guess in her mind, so before Su Sanlang could say anything, she shouted from inside the house: "My father, come inside, I have something to tell you."
When Su Sanlang heard Zhao's shout, he put the rabbit aside and immediately turned around and went into the house.
After entering the house, Ms. Zhao looked at Su Sanlang and said, "Dad, I may know what happened to that rabbit, but I'm not sure if it's true. I just heard other people mention it.
When a rabbit is about to give birth, it will pluck its hair to make a nest. That rabbit may be about to give birth to a baby rabbit."
Su Sanlang was a little surprised: "What should we do?"
Su Sanmei followed into the house and listened silently. She was a little excited when she heard that the baby rabbit was born. She said, "Dad, let's raise it. Then we will have a lot of rabbits in the future, and I can pull a lot of grass for the rabbits to eat."
.”
Su Sanlang was a little surprised when he came back to his senses. If there was a nest of little rabbits, wouldn't they become a group when they were raised?
"Daddy, regardless of whether there is one or not, keep that rabbit separately first. It doesn't matter if there is no cage. Cover it with a basket first."
There was also light in Zhao's eyes. Although it was still unknown, just thinking about it made her feel very good.
Su Sanlang nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When Su Sanlang went out to separate the four rabbits, he specifically mentioned the rabbit. The gray rabbit, which was the only one that could be pregnant, was really heavier than the other rabbits, and it was even more aggressive. It even kicked its legs when he lifted it.
Su Sanlang smiled and separated it alone.
Perhaps because of the expectation, the whole family was in a good mood and the rough meal was delicious.
Su Sanlang couldn't bear to eat bacon every day, so he often cooked it with dried vegetables.
Use the same water as the poached eggs to cook the vegetables to trick yourself into thinking they are a bit fishy.
The food was not good, but the three children all ate deliciously. They chewed slowly as if they were eating delicious delicacies. Su Sanlang secretly thought in his heart that life would be better.
The next morning, Su Sanlang specially made a new cage for the rabbit.
Su Sanmei and her two brothers caught bugs and gave them to Su Sanlang to put in traps.
After doing all this, Su Sanmei took her two brothers to pull weeds and feed the rabbits.
When Su Sanlang came back from checking the trap, he was holding another dead pheasant in his hand.
Su Chong and Su Hua came around and watched eagerly. They didn't ask, but their eyes clearly said, 'Dad, do we want to eat?'
Su Sanmei also had this question. If it dies, should it be sold or eaten?
Su Sanlang seemed to see the doubts of several children, and said with a smile: "This chicken is dead. If you sell it, the people in the city will think it is stale. Boil water to treat it. Dad will make chicken soup for you to drink tonight."
"Great!"
Su Chong and Su Hua were extremely happy.
Su Sanlang touched the three children. The pheasant weighed four kilograms, and the internal organs after removing the feathers weighed nearly three kilograms. He chopped it into small pieces with several knives and stewed half of it.
After the chicken was stewed, Su Sanlang went to dig the ground.
The chicken soup was so fragrant that Su Sanmei felt like she was getting drunk. When she went to the room to help Mrs. Zhao change Su Xiaolu's diaper, Su Sanmei sniffed and teased Su Xiaolu: "Fourth sister, you smell delicious.
Doesn’t it taste good? This is meat. It’s a pity that you are still young, otherwise Third Sister would have fed it to you.”
Mrs. Zhao, wearing cotton clothes, smiled and said, "It smells so good."
Su Sanmei nodded seriously: "Yeah, it smells so good, I've never smelled anything like this."
I've never eaten it either.
Perhaps thinking of those bad things, Su Sanmei lowered her eyes.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, reached out and touched Su Sanmei's hair and said, "When a lot of chicks hatch in our house, we will eat chicken once a month."
Su Sanmei looked up at Mrs. Zhao, with a smile in her eyes. She nodded: "Okay."
Su Xiaolu kicked her legs happily. She could have some free time every day when changing diapers, so she could move around more.
After changing the diaper, Su Sanmei held Su Xiaolu's little hand and pressed it against her face.
Ms. Zhao said: "Be careful if Fourth Sister catches you."
Su Sanmei stood next to Su Xiaolu and said with a smile: "No, Fourth Sister will not catch me. Fourth Sister also smells so good, sweet, just like the candy given by my sister-in-law."
Speaking of candy, Su Sanmei hasn't finished eating it yet. She didn't even have time to take it out yesterday. Su Sanmei took out the paper bag from her arms, opened it, and gave the candy to Mrs. Zhao: "Mom, you eat it."
Ms. Zhao couldn't help but be moved, and almost burst into tears. She tried hard to hold it back, and even swallowed: "You kid, you can eat whatever candy you want."
Su Sanmei shook her head: "I want my mother to eat it to replenish the body."
Su Sanmei looked at Zhao. During this time, Zhao's complexion had improved a lot, but she was still very scared, afraid that Zhao would be as pale as her fourth sister the day she was born.
Su Sanmei would never forget the strong smell of blood that day. It was at that moment that she suddenly understood what it meant to die. She knew that if her mother died, she would no longer have her mother.
And she didn't want to be without a mother, so Su Sanmei stuffed the candy into Zhao's mouth, then got up and took the diaper to wash the diaper.
Mrs. Zhao held the candy in her mouth, but tears still flowed down her cheeks.
She sighed, gently squeezed Su Xiaolu's little hand, and while wrapping her up, she said: "Fourth sister, God has been so kind to me. Let me meet your father and have such a sensible child."
, Mom must take good care of your health, watch you grow up, and marry a good man..."
Su Xiaolu looked at Mrs. Zhao seriously and smiled at her.
She will definitely do it. When she grows up, she will contribute to the family. With such a good third sister, she will personally choose a good match for her.
As for the two stupid brothers, if they are cured, they will naturally have a good marriage, marry and have children. If they cannot be cured, then she will raise her two brothers for the rest of her life. She will be a doctor in the future, and her two brothers can be medicine boys to help with the medicine.
, they can live a better life by relying on their own labor.
After being wrapped up by Mrs. Zhao, Su Xiaolu started to sleep. She was still a little baby, so she should sleep well.
Mrs. Zhao saw that Su Xiaolu fell asleep quickly, and leaned over to kiss Su Xiaolu's forehead: "Fourth sister is so good, go to bed, mother will make clothes for your father and your brothers and sisters."
Mrs. Zhao was quietly making clothes in the house. By the time Su Sanmei finished washing the diapers, the chicken was stewed. She removed the firewood and slowly simmered the chicken with a small fire in the stove.
She ran out again to pull grass, catch bugs, and feed the chickens and rabbits.
As the sky gradually darkened, after digging for a whole day, Su Sanlang looked at the half-acre of dug land and felt full of accomplishment.
