The happy little days of the Ye family

Like the Ye family, the Tang family also has 50 acres of newly reclaimed paddy fields and two hills.

Before the Ye family hired long-term workers, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing had already selected 10 long-term workers.

These 10 people were all invited from other towns, some relatively remote villages, and their families were relatively poor, but they were all good at farming.

Not only did he keep the Tang family's paddy fields in order, he also planted five acres of corn on the slopes at the foot of Stone Mountain and Rabbit Mountain.

The two hills of the Tang family had neither bamboo forests nor honeysuckle and jujube trees planted all over the mountains. Originally, Tang Xiaojing planned to plant some easy-to-live herbs on the hills.

The villager, who has been farming for a lifetime, has long noticed that this year's weather is a bit abnormal. It is expected that there will be several heavy rains this year.

Therefore, the village chief specially reminded that this year, just plant grains or honeysuckle. Do not spend money to buy fruit seedlings or other seeds. Otherwise, the money spent on buying seeds and fruit seedlings will be wasted.

Therefore, Tang Xiaojing does not plan to plant any herbal medicine this year. He can just cut some honeysuckle vines. Herbal seeds are much more expensive than grain seeds, so they cannot be wasted. It will be the same if he plants them next year.

There were more and more rabbits at home. Tang Xiaojing thought it would be nice to keep them at home, so he planned to move these rabbits to the foot of Stone Mountain to raise them.

Now that the weather is good, it's just right to build a house. Tang Xiaojing plans to build a few spacious rabbit sheds to raise rabbits.

Rabbits like to eat grass on the top of Rabbit Mountain. If you keep it at the foot of the mountain, it is also convenient to cut the grass and feed the rabbits.

Originally, there was a pregnant female rabbit, a half-grown female rabbit and a male rabbit at home.

The mother rabbit gave birth to three little rabbits. Although she only raised one little rabbit, both the mother rabbit and the half-grown mother rabbit later became pregnant.

After giving birth to two litters of rabbits, there are now three large rabbits and a dozen half-grown rabbits at home.

Moreover, Tang Xiaojing found that the two female rabbits were pregnant again. In another half month, baby rabbits would be born, and these half-grown rabbits would also become pregnant and give birth to baby rabbits later.

There will be more and more rabbits at home. Tang Xiaojing originally planned to build a house and a rabbit shed at the foot of the mountain as soon as the rain stops.

But Tangshan considered that it was a good time to pick mushrooms on the mountain after the rain. The Tang family and his son, together with 10 long-term workers, picked mushrooms on the mountain.

I was busy with spring plowing, and it rained several times and I didn't have time to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. The mushrooms on the mountain grew one after another, and they were big and in good condition.

Straw mushrooms, red mushrooms, green-headed mushrooms, drumstick mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, black fungus... there are so many kinds of mushrooms to pick up.

Tang Xiaojing was lucky today and found several nests of gallinopsis fungi. There had been enough rain recently and the gallinopsis fungi were all in one piece. Tang Xiaojing collected half a basket of gallinopsis fungi.

In addition to mushrooms, Tang Xiaojing also found a dozen dead trees with black fungus.

Tang Xiaojing moved all these dead trees to the shade of the river. From now on, he would water these dead trees every day, and new fungus would soon grow.

In addition to mushrooms, there are also many small animals on the mountain. The heavy rain that lasted for several days finally cleared up. Rabbits, pheasants, wild goats, and deer all came out to look for food.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing were good at hunting, and they caught two wild goats, two deer deer, six pheasants and a dozen wild rabbits in one day.

In addition, Da Huang and Xiao Huang also hunted several rabbits and pheasants.

It was almost evening when we caught the wild goats and deer, too late to send them to the county.

Tang Xiaojing planned to send it to the Liang Family Restaurant early tomorrow morning. Fortunately, it was still a bit cold in spring and the weather was relatively cool, otherwise these prey would not be released tomorrow.

Among the dozen or so rabbits hunted today, some of them were slightly injured. Tang Xiaojing bandaged them and took them home to raise the rabbits.

Not only are the Tang family's mountains covered with mushrooms, but the Ye family's mountains are also filled with mushrooms.

I picked up hundreds of kilograms of bamboo fungus from two bamboo forests, and Mrs. Ye was so happy that she said these two mountains were a good deal.

The front yard of Ye's house is full of dried mushrooms, while the backyard is full of dried bamboo shoots.

As soon as the Ye family members returned home and saw the front and back yards full of mountain products, the corners of their mouths never dropped.

It is said that autumn is the harvest season, but in fact spring is also a harvest season.

In the evening, Tang Xiaojing went from Tang's house to Ye's house, carrying a rabbit in his left hand, a pheasant in his right hand, and half a basket of gallinaceous fungi on his back.

Tangshan leisurely followed behind with his hands empty, occasionally teasing Dahuang and Xiaohuang beside him.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Tangshan with disdain, "Are you sorry? I'm carrying so many things, why don't you help me."

Tang Shan said with a smile: "Of course you have to be diligent when you go to your future father-in-law's house. I am giving you a chance to show off."

Tang Xiaojing rolled his eyes angrily, "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, this is what a father should do."

Ye Qingqing heard the sound of Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing bickering outside in the yard.

Ye Qingqing walked out quickly with a smile on his face. Before he could get out of the yard, Dahuang and Xiaohuang excitedly rushed towards him.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang were no longer the little puppies they used to be. They were almost as tall as Ye Qingqing when they stood up. The two guys pushed Ye Qingqing back.

"Stop, don't move, Big Yellow and Little Yellow sit down."

Dahuang and Xiaohuang didn't understand what Ye Qingqing said, and they thought they were little cuties who hadn't grown up yet. They had not seen each other for a day, so they excitedly circled Ye Qingqing and pounced on her from time to time.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing's embarrassed appearance and did not come to help, but stood aside and snickered.

After being glared at by Ye Qingqing several times, he stepped forward and pulled Da Huang and Xiao Huang away.

In the evening, Ye Mu made stewed pheasant with gallinomycetes and braised rabbit, and everyone had a round belly. Ye Xilin and Ye Donglin even mixed the remaining soup with rice and ate it.

Today it was Ye Xilin's turn to wash the dishes, while the others continued to sit at the table and chat.

Tang Xiaojing: "Although the rabbits raised at home have cut some losses, they are so fertile that they can give birth to a litter of little rabbits in two to three months."

"I plan to build a few rabbit hutches with blue bricks at the foot of the mountain to raise rabbits. The rabbits grow fast and only need to be fed grass. It is more cost-effective than raising chickens."

"Uncle Ye, do you want to raise a few pairs of rabbits in your family? Rabbits are delicious. It would be good to build a few rabbit sheds on the small back hill to raise rabbits."

"But rabbits can dig holes and chew through wood. It's best to use blue bricks to build a rabbit hutch."

Father Ye was very excited after hearing this, "I heard that people in Sichuan like to eat rabbits, especially spicy rabbit meat and spicy rabbit heads. If this rabbit is raised, a new dish will be added to the braised pork stall."

When Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye heard that the rabbits only needed to be fed grass, they were a little excited. The small back hill was a big place, so it would be good to build a few rabbit sheds to raise rabbits.

Tang Xiaojing added: "There were three big rabbits and a dozen half-grown rabbits at home. Today we caught a few live rabbits on the mountain."

"I'll go back and pick out two pairs of breeding rabbits for you. Rabbits reproduce quickly, and they'll be able to give birth to little rabbits in two or three months."
