Surrounded by the villagers, Zhang returned home and asked Liu to trim the feathers on the pheasants' wings to prevent them from flying away.

After hearing the news, Xie and Zheng rushed over in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you caught more than a dozen wild boars. I came to take a look."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I was just planning to send someone to call you. I plan to raise three of these little wild boars at home. There are nine left. Do you want to raise them?"

As soon as Zhang finished speaking, before Xie could reply, Zhao Guihua's loud voice rang out among the crowd.

"Aunt San, leave one for me and I'll pay for it."

"Hey, why are you talking about money? It's so polite. If you really feel bad about it, just give me two pounds of meat when you grow up."

"Leave one for me too. I want to keep one too."

"I want one too!"

"Don't push, don't push, I was here first!"

"........"

Xie and Zheng looked at each other.

"Let's have two of us as a family."

The remaining five were snatched away by the first five families that arrived. Although those who didn’t get one were a little disappointed, they soon put on a smile and put the disappointment behind them.

Even if it’s not their turn this time, they will have another chance next time. Yes, they firmly believe that there will be another chance in the future.

Old Man Cheng took his sons to cut bamboo, so they would not work on the foundation this afternoon. They would build the pig pen and the nests for the ducks and rabbits first.

Although the cave is big enough, it is impossible for people to live with these animals. Although the animals are small, they eat a lot. Once the number increases, the feces cleaned out every day alone will fill a bucket.

When others saw them carrying bamboos down the mountain, they came over to ask them. When they learned that they were building nests for ducks and rabbits, they remembered that their own rabbits and ducks also urgently needed a nest.

They swarmed up the mountain to cut bamboo.

Old Man Cheng planned to build three shacks side by side by the small river below the cave. Firstly, they were close to home and convenient for care; secondly, water was convenient as he could directly bring water into the shacks, making it easier to clean up the feces.

He also followed Cheng Zeli's advice and dug a septic tank seven or eight meters deep next to the shack to hold livestock manure. This not only avoided polluting the water source, but the manure could also be used to irrigate farmland after fermentation.

When Cheng Dafu saw the design of their shack, his eyes lit up. He went back and built an identical one to Old Man Cheng's house.

Others in the village followed suit.

They worked until dark before finally building the shed. They drove the thirty ducks with clipped wings into the duck shed. The well-fed ducks lay comfortably on the ground, closed their eyes and stopped making noise.

(Two drakes were also cooked for dinner last night.)

Among the ten little rabbits in Old Man Cheng's house, five are female rabbits, two of which have already given birth, and the other three are also pregnant.

The rabbit nest was covered with a layer of dry and soft hay, and also contained a lot of fresh green grass that the children had just cut.

As soon as the rabbits were put into the shed, they jumped into the pile of grass, pursed their three-petaled lips, shook their heads, and began to eat with relish, with their whiskers twitching up and down, looking very contented.

The two little pink rabbits have had their fill of milk and are sleeping soundly.

The three little pigs were not so obedient. They grunted and raised their hooves in the pigpen, running around for a few laps. When they saw that they couldn't escape, they put their heads against Old Man Cheng's legs and roared, imitating the ferociousness of their parents, trying to knock over the human in front of them.

At this time, Wang brought over a small bucket of pig feed made from wild vegetables and poured the wild vegetable paste into the wooden basin.

"Oh, cluck, cluck, little pig, come and have your meal, oh, cluck, cluck..."

The little wild boar didn't want to pay attention to her, but they hadn't eaten for most of the day and their stomachs were already empty.

After holding out for a while, they gave up and rushed to enjoy the food.

There are more mouths to feed at home and more things to do.

Cheng Laosi and Cheng Laowu got up early every day to drive the ducks to the river to play in the water. One of them cut grass for rabbits and the other cut grass for pigs. Then they had to clean the shed when they came back.

The two brothers were not afraid of getting dirty or tired. Whenever they had time, they would dig earthworms and catch insects to feed the ducks. The ducks also worked hard and every morning they could pick up a basket full of duck eggs.

That night there was another table full of duck eggs. Everyone was getting tired of eating duck eggs after eating them every day for the past few days.

"Duck eggs again. Can't we eat something else? I'm about to turn into a duck egg. Didn't I pick up thirty chicken eggs today?"

Cheng Laowu looked at the duck egg soup, fried duck eggs, duck egg custard, and boiled duck eggs on the table and couldn't help wailing.

"Even if you have something to eat, you can't stop talking. Aren't duck eggs and chicken eggs all eggs? What's the difference? Besides, I need to keep the eggs to hatch chicks."

Zhang took the chopsticks and hit Cheng Laowu on the head in annoyance.

"You don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have. Didn't your elder brother carry 20 duck eggs when he went down the mountain? I don't know if he has found a place to sleep yet."

“Daddy…! I want daddy!”

Two-year-old Cheng Jinchen suddenly cried and asked for his father. Liu quickly put down the bowl and took him aside to comfort him.

"Grandpa, will Dad be back tomorrow?"

Cheng Jinwen looked up at Old Man Cheng and asked.

"Yes, Wen'er, be good and help your mother take good care of your brothers. Your father will be back tomorrow."

Old Man Cheng touched his eldest grandson’s head lovingly.

"Eat quickly, and go to bed early after eating. You have to get up early tomorrow!"

At night, Cheng Xingwan took Cheng Zeli and Li into the space as usual.

As soon as they entered the space, the three of them noticed the changes in the space.

The cabin was turned into a two-story bungalow, and the farmland outside the house was expanded from four plots to six.

The spiritual spring under the peach tree has also changed. Although its size has not changed, the mist on the water surface has become thicker.

Cheng Zeli picked it up and took a sip, and found it sweeter than ever before. All the fatigue in his body was swept away, and even his mind became clearer. He felt his inspiration flowed, and even the boring poems in the past became vivid and bright.

Li brought out a bathtub, filled it with spiritual spring water, changed into a swimsuit, and lay down in it comfortably.

The hands that had become a little rough due to farm work instantly became as white as jade, pure and flawless as if they were a piece of beautiful work of art.

"Ah! It's so comfortable! You guys go play, I'll take a nap."

She lay comfortably in the bathtub and closed her eyes.

Cheng Zeli carried his daughter into the house. There were several more rooms on the first floor. The harvested crops and medicinal herbs were piled in each room.

There was nothing interesting on the first floor, so he walked towards the second floor.

Unexpectedly, the second floor had a layout of three bedrooms and one living room. There were two large rooms on the left, each with a 1.8-meter Simmons bed, and each room was also equipped with a bathroom.

On the right is a large study room with more than a dozen bookshelves filled with various books.

There is also a large open kitchen in the spacious living room, which is fully equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils and seasonings.

"Great, with this kitchen, we can cook our own meals."

"But why did the space suddenly upgrade?"

As he said this, he looked at the little girl in his arms.

"Baby, do you know what the conditions for upgrading are?"

“Ahh…Ahhh…Ahhhh!”

[How stupid! It must be because I let the animals out and helped everyone! ]

The little guy waved his arms and showed off excitedly to his old father.

I accidentally spit all over his face.

Cheng Zeli wiped his face in disgust.

"Hey, can you please be more hygienic?"

I suddenly noticed a notebook on the coffee table in the living room.

Confusedly, he put the little guy on the sofa and picked up his notebook to read.

[Hey, isn't this the notebook where I wrote down the prescriptions? Why is it here? ]

"Baby, this is your notebook, right? It's strange, why is it not placed on the bookshelf, but here? Does it have any meaning?"

When Cheng Zeli opened the notebook, he recognized his daughter's handwriting and began to read.
