The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing went to the backyard to see the rabbits when he got up in the morning. Of the five rabbits he brought back the day before yesterday, two small rabbits died on the day they were brought back. Now there are only two big rabbits and one small rabbit left.

Tangshan kept the rabbits in a pig pen. In the past two days, the rabbits ate grass that Tangshan had cut on the roadside. The three rabbits did not eat much. Just some tender grass cut on the roadside was enough for them. .

Dahuang and Xiaohuang were very clingy, and when they saw Tang Xiaojing getting up, they followed him to the pig pen.

The two little guys started barking wildly as soon as they saw the rabbit. The rabbit in the pig pen was trembling with fear. Upon seeing this, Tang Xiaojing quickly took Da Huang and Xiao Huang away.

Tang Xiaojing went to the roadside to cut some young grass and came back. He locked the two little guys in the kitchen before taking the young grass to feed the rabbits.

Tang Xiaojing came to the pig pen, and the three rabbits were shivering close to each other, looking a little pitiful.

Tang Xiaojing put the young grass in, then poured a bowl of cold boiled water back and placed it next to the young grass.

Probably because he was hungry, the little gray rabbit slowly approached the tender grass, and when he saw that there was no danger, he began to eat it.

The pregnant female rabbit began to eat young grass after drinking two mouthfuls of cold water. Only the big male rabbit was hiding in the corner sickly, neither eating nor drinking water.

Tang Xiaojing guessed that the male rabbit might be afraid of people, so he added tender grass and cold white cabbage and left them alone, and went back to continue making medicinal materials.

The fresh herbs collected in Shanli Village for the second time are almost ready to be processed. There are several herbs with relatively complicated processing techniques, and they will be ready after completing the last process today.

It will take about half a month for the aphrodisiac medicinal wine to be brewed. Tang Xiaojing plans to go to the county tomorrow to sell the herbs first.

It cost Tang Xiaojing more than 20 taels of silver to collect these herbs. Tang Xiaojing felt uneasy until he sold them for money.

After breakfast, Dahuang and Xiaohuang went to the pig pen in the backyard to scare some rabbits. Tang Xiaojing saw that the rabbits were really pitiful, so he simply took Dahuang and Xiaohuang to Ye's house.

Tang Xiaojing hurried back to prepare the herbal medicine, said hello to Ye Qingqing and went back.

As soon as they arrived at Ye's house, Dahuang and Xiaohuang came to the kitchen in a familiar manner and acted coquettishly towards Mrs. Ye who was about to feed the pigs.

Mrs. Ye laughed and scolded: "You two little greedy dogs."

Then he added half a bowl of pig food to Rhubarb and Xiao Huang's rice bowls. The two little guys smelled the smell and ran over, wagging their little tails and started eating their second breakfast.

In the afternoon, Tang Xiaojing finally prepared all the herbs. Tang Xiaojing tied the various herbs one by one with hemp rope, and then carefully put them into a large sack.

Then he went to the roadside to cut some young grass and came back. When he went to the pig pen, he found that the mother rabbit and the little rabbit were happily gnawing on the young grass.

Tang Xiaojing replaced the wilted grass picked in the morning with fresh young grass. Only then did he realize that there was a rabbit missing, a male rabbit?

Tang Xiaojing looked around and finally found the dying male rabbit in the corner.

This male rabbit hasn't eaten in the morning, and now he's even more dying. He probably won't be able to survive.

Tang Xiaojing picked up the male rabbit and prepared to take it to Ye's house while it was still breathing. It was a good time for dinner in the evening.

Tang Xiaojing brought the rabbit to Ye's house, where Mrs. Ye was drying bamboo shoots in the yard.

When Mrs. Ye saw Tang Xiaojing coming over with a rabbit, she asked, "This big rabbit can't do it either? What about the pregnant female rabbit and the baby rabbit? Can it be fed?"

Tang Xiaojing smiled and said: "The mother rabbit and the little rabbit are lively and willing to eat, so they should be able to feed them."

"This male rabbit refused to eat in the morning. Now he is half dead. I don't think I can feed him anymore. I might as well bring him over for extra food in the evening."

Old Mrs. Ye said cheerfully: "As long as the mother rabbit and the little rabbit can be fed, the rabbit can give birth. If they can be fed, they can give birth to several babies a year."

"Grandma Ye, you are busy first, I will go to the backyard to kill the rabbit."

Tang Xiaojing came to the backyard and saw that the backyard was full of red dates. Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu were sitting under the eaves doing embroidery, while Da Huang and Xiao Huang were sleeping soundly at Ye Qingqing's feet.

Hearing the footsteps, Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing raised their heads. The slanting sun shone in the yard, and a bunch of dim light shone through the treetops on their faces. This scene was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

Tang Xiaojing couldn't help but think that when he was young, his mother would often call him home for dinner in the sunset, but unknowingly, his mother had been dead for three years.

Seeing the rabbit in Tang Xiaojing's hand, Ye Qingqing exclaimed: "Is this male rabbit also dead? These little things are really difficult to serve."

Ye Qingqing's clear voice brought Tang Xiaojing back from his thoughts. Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing fondly: "I haven't died yet. I'll bring it over for dinner tonight."

Ye Mu looked at the fat rabbit and was a little greedy, "Jing boy, how do you want to eat it? Stewed potatoes or dried beans? Or braise it without adding vegetables?"

Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing, "What would Qingqing want to eat?"

Ye Qingqing looked at the big rabbit weighing six or seven pounds, "How about half stewed potatoes and the other half stewed dried beans?"

There are many people in the family, and everyone can eat it. If it were braised directly, one person wouldn't be able to eat much.

Tang Xiaojing lifted the rabbit to the edge of the pool, "Then stew half the potatoes and half the dried beans. I'll take care of the rabbit first, and you can continue doing the embroidery."

While chatting, Dahuang and Xiaohuang had already woken up and barked at the rabbit in Tang Xiaojing's hand.

Tang Xiaojing scolded twice, and Da Huang and Xiao Huang obediently returned to Ye Qingqing's feet, tilting their little heads and looking at Tang Xiaojing.

Seeing the cute little looks of Da Huang and Xiao Huang made Ye Qingqing's heart soften, and he couldn't help but rub Da Huang and Xiao Huang's furry little heads.

The two little guys rolled on the ground and lay side by side, exposing their soft bellies to Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing put the embroidery away, rubbing it hard with a puppy in one hand, and chatted with Tang Xiaojing from time to time.

Mother Ye felt that she was in the way, so she simply went back to the house to continue doing embroidery.

When Ye Donglin returned home with large and small bags of things, the fragrant rabbit stewed with potatoes and rabbit stewed with dried beans had just come out of the pot.
