It was already afternoon when they returned to town. After moving their things home, Li Yunshan and Qin An drove to the breeding farm.

Li Ruyi was taken to the Zaxiang Meat Restaurant by Qian Yiyi. Li Ankang had not returned from school yet, and only Heizi accompanied the old lady to bask in the sun in the yard.

The old lady helped her pack her things. Mao Xiaosui divided the hot peppers he brought with her into two pieces. He scanned the house and soaked five pieces of dried rabbit meat.

Heizi missed her after not seeing him for two days and kept rubbing his head against her.

Mao Xiaosui gave it a piece of the snack he bought, ate two pieces himself, then went to bed and squinted for a while.

He woke up when the courtyard door creaked. Li Yunshan had returned from the breeding farm, and he could still hear Qin An's loud voice talking to the old lady next door.

Mao Xiaosui put on his slippers and went out to wash his face and asked him, "What's for dinner?"

"Let's eat noodles." He had eaten too much meat in the restaurant in the past two days and thought of the noodles made by Mao Xiaosui.

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui said, "You wash your hands and squint for a while, I'll go cook."

She put the soaked dried meat into the pot and the aniseed ingredients and stewed it over low heat. In the pot next to it, she stir-fried the washed mushrooms and dried beans with the meat, and then started digging out the noodles.

After rolling out the dough and cutting it, and starting to boil the water, Li Ruyi's voice sounded from next door, and the old lady smiled and shouted, "Your mother is back."

After a while, I heard Li Ruyi running back.

Mao Xiaosui hugged her and kissed her several times. Li Ruyi also missed her, holding her neck and calling her mother in a low voice.

After kissing enough, Mao Xiaosui said, "There are some snacks and preserved fruits on the table. Your father is sleeping in there, so don't disturb him."

Li Ruyi rubbed his face against hers again before going back to the house to eat.

She didn't rush to cook the noodles and took the braised rabbit meat to eat first.

The sun-dried meat is not as tender as fresh when braised again, but the braised flavor is stronger. She also specially added sugar, so it has a bit of sweetness.

I couldn't taste the rabbit meat, but it tasted pretty good, especially the rabbit head.

Li Yunshan gnawed impatiently, so she and Li Ruyi ate, leaving another one for Li Ankang.

After eating the meat, Xiao Sui was almost full. Li Ruyi even started to burp. She pointed at Labai at the door of the kitchen and asked, "What is that? Can you eat it?"

"Fried food."

"I want to eat." Li Ruyi said immediately.

"I'll fry it tomorrow." Today's meal is almost done and there's still some noodles left. It won't be good if there are any leftovers.

Li Ruyi also obeyed, went to wash her hands and brought some preserved fruits over to eat.

When the sun was about to set, Dian Heizi suddenly screamed, and Li Ankang walked in, running straight to Mao Xiaosui with his schoolbag in his arms.

Li Yunshan said "Oh" and said bitterly, "You only hug your mother but not your father?"

Li Ankang immediately ran to hug him again. From the corner of his eye, he saw the preserved fruits on the table. He didn't let go of Li Yunshan's hand, but his mind was already far away.

Mao Xiaosui went to cook noodles, and when he brought them out, Li Ankang had already finished the remaining rabbit meat on the table.

She asked, "Can you finish eating?"

Li Ankang glanced into the bowl and said, "Nod."

Li Ruyi was determined not to eat, Mao Xiaosui also ate half of the bowl, and Li Yunshan brought the remaining bowl to the room, planning to eat it later.

After dinner, Li Ankang was not in a hurry to do his homework. A few people sat and talked. Li Ankang suddenly asked her, "Mom, I don't want to go to school tomorrow."

Mao Xiaosui asked "Why?"

Li Ankang was also very honest, "I didn't do my homework."

Mao Xiaosui suddenly couldn't help laughing, "...be good, hurry up and write."

Li Ankang was speechless and grabbed a handful of preserved fruit before leaving.

Li Ruyi was probably afraid that he would be questioned, so he left in a hurry.

In the morning, Li Ruyi wanted to go to the breeding farm with them, and after meeting the others, he found that Liu Xiu was also there.

She had been looking at the injuries on her face for a long time. When she saw her, she asked anxiously, "Are you still in need of someone?"

Mao Xiaosui nodded. She only cared about whether the rabbit skin was washed well. Liu Xiu was there last time, so it's okay to continue to follow this time.

Li Ruyi came here not entirely out of boredom, but mainly because he came to see Ding Pingshun.

She is tall, but still shorter than Ding Pingshun. She is very clingy, but Ding Pingshun obeys her in everything.

Usually only mules are herded, but today there is an extra horse. Several women asked, "Did you buy this horse in the county?"

Mao Xiaosui replied "Yes."

Then he asked, “How much silver is it?”

"Fifty."

Everyone was very envious, but they didn't say anything sarcastic.

After finishing the job, Ding Pingshun went back to cook, and Li Ruyi also went with him. Chen Yue looked at the hands they were holding and asked Mao Xiaosui, "How old are the two children?"

"Seven years old."

"Yo." Chen Yue immediately said, "Your girl is so clingy to him, why is she not engaged?"

Mao Xiaosui also glanced at the two of them. Li Ruyi was indeed particularly attached to Ding Pingshun. She also played well with the other children, but she still liked Ding Pingshun the most.

"Being a brother." Mao Xiaosui said.

It was hot in the afternoon, and the sun was so warm that it was very comfortable. The women chatted and washed and didn't seem to feel tired. Mao Xiaosui yawned several times in a row, and he was really sleepy.

She glanced at the grass not far away. There were many bugs on the ground at this time, so she didn't just lie down and go to sleep.

After finally staying up until night and returning to town, Li Yunshan wanted to go to a noodle shop for dinner, but Mao Xiaosui caught sight of Labai and decided to make dumplings.

Li Yunshan was afraid that she would be too tired to do it, so since he wanted to make dumplings, he naturally agreed.

Cut the spicy white pepper into shreds and blanch it in boiling water with some salt.

Blanch it in boiling water and take it out immediately, run it through cold water and chop it into pieces. Then scoop out a bowl of pork and chop it into pieces. Add a bowl of chopped green onions and season with salt and sesame oil.

Li Ruyi liked making dumplings. Mao Xiaosui asked her, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Li Ruyi replied, "Make delicious food."

"Not bad." Li Yunshan smiled and praised her, "Heping is the same idea."

"Do you want to eat delicious food or make delicious food?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

"eat."

"Then you can be the boss."

"Okay." Li Ruyi said immediately, "Be the boss."

Li Yunshan suddenly said, "Would you like to try making dumplings with rabbit meat?"

Mao Xiaosui glanced at him and said, "Okay, I really haven't tried it."

Li Yunshan: "Bring some tomorrow and let's try making dumplings tonight."

Mao Xiaosui nodded.

The blanched spicy white rice is not astringent when eaten, and coupled with the aroma of fat from the meat and the aroma of chopped green onions, Mao Xiaosui thinks it is much more delicious than the green beans.

Li Yunshan has become accustomed to the smell of vinegar. Although he doesn't find it fragrant, he still gets jealous like them every time he eats dumplings.

After dinner, Li Ruyi and Li Ankang went to write, and she and Li Yunshan also studied for a while before going to bed.

According to the reproduction rate of rabbits, there should be no shortage of rabbit skin washers this year.

The only problem now is that there are enough people to wash the rabbit skins but not enough to kill the rabbits.

I still have a little over three hundred taels at home, which is more than enough to buy two men.

Thinking of this, she fell asleep.
