Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

"Mom, when will it give birth to baby rabbits?" After Baolin was happy, he asked a more realistic question.

Zhang Xiuhua worked on a farm in her previous life and raised rabbits. "Rabbits give birth after four to five weeks of pregnancy."

Baolin's face was red with excitement, like a ripe red apple. It was only a month, and she would be free soon.

Over the next month, Baolin and Yaoyao took care of the little rabbit patiently. On the way home from school, they found the grass that the rabbit loved to eat.

After the spring, all things come back to life, the wild grass is fresh, juicy and lush, and they don't have to spend much effort. They can cut a large bag in just half an hour.

Finally, when the rabbit was due to give birth, Zhang Xiuhua was responsible for delivering the baby, while the other children ran over to watch the fun.

Rabbits give birth to baby rabbits very quickly, in just over twenty minutes.

Zhang Xiuhua waits for the mother rabbit to give birth to the baby rabbits, and then brings water to the rabbits to replenish their energy. This is very important because the mother rabbit will eat the baby rabbits due to lack of water.

After the mother rabbit fed the little rabbits, she put on gloves and took them out. They were two small, red rabbits, no bigger than her palm. Their skin was very tender, without hair, and you could almost see the blood vessels.

"Wow! It's so small."

Zhang Xiuhua put the rabbit in a basket, which was padded with Ula grass.

The children were watching with great interest. Baolin asked curiously, "Why not put the little rabbit next to the mother rabbit so that it will be easier for the mother rabbit to feed the baby rabbit."

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "No. The mother rabbit is likely to eat the baby rabbit, so it must be separated."

She also warned them not to touch the little rabbits, lest the little rabbits should be stained with human scent, which the mother rabbit would dislike.

The children remembered patiently.

After placing the little rabbit, Baolin couldn't wait to pull Zhang Xiuhua's sleeve and ask her when the extra points would be given.

Zhang Xiuhua immediately took out the scorebook and added 50 points to each of them.

With 50 points, plus the points they had accumulated before, they can go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner!

Baolin and Yaoyao immediately decided to have a big meal on Saturday. "I want to eat lamb! It's so delicious."

"Okay! I want beef."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Youcai and Jidong. They didn't have enough points. They couldn't go.

So on Saturday, Zhang Xiuhua took her two children to the restaurant.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhang Xiuhua asked them if they wanted to continue raising rabbits.

Baolin patted his round belly and shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want to raise it anymore. It's too hard, even harder than doing my homework!"

Yaoyao liked to follow her sister, so she shook her head as well.

How could Zhang Xiuhua let the two children give up so quickly? That was impossible! She immediately increased the prize, "Oh, what a pity! I wanted to tell you that as long as you raise the rabbit to adulthood, I will buy you a cake!"

Cake! Baolin's heart was pounding with excitement, and her eyes were wide open in disbelief. Cake, sweet, soft, and fragrant, it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life.

She held Yaoyao's hand tightly and said, "Yaoyao, let's raise her!"

The two sisters discussed for a long time, and finally reached an agreement, "We only want to raise small rabbits, not big rabbits."

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the two of you can't take care of so many rabbits. I'll let Youcai and Jilin take care of them."

Youcai has been clamoring to raise rabbits, while Jilin is slow to do things. The cooperation between Youcai and Jilin can make up for each other's shortcomings.

When she got home, Zhang Xiuhua told her children about her decision. "As long as you raise the rabbits for half a year, you can have cake. If the rabbits get pregnant, I will give you 50 extra points for taking care of them during their birth."

Jilin is not in school yet, so he can only get extra points by cleaning the house. But the points are added too slowly.

Raising rabbits can add 50 points, so naturally I won’t refuse such a good thing.

Youcai patted his chest and assured, "No problem!"

He agreed readily, thinking that this job was not difficult. After all, in winter, he had to build a shed for the rabbits and feed them in the snow and wind. There was even no grass, so he had to grow it himself. It was too difficult to raise rabbits. But in spring and summer, there were not so many troubles.

He calculated that rabbits were easy to raise in spring and summer, but he didn't calculate that his partner was a weirdo.

"Jilin, can you please hurry up? Are you a turtle? I can crawl faster than you!"

In the endless fields, Youcai was walking ahead with a basket on his back. He moved quickly and filled the basket in a short while. But Jilin's basket only covered the bottom.

"Why...are you in such a hurry?" Ji Lin replied slowly, holding a piece of grass in his mouth.

"I'm anxious? You're the one who's slow, okay?!" Youcai is an impatient person to begin with, and it's really a pain for him to meet Jilin, who's slow!

Ji Lin said slowly, "Why are you walking so fast? Aren't there weeds in this field?"

"This side has been cut by Baolin and Yaoyao. There's only a little left. There's a lot in front!" Youcai saw him squatting down to continue cutting, and didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he just dragged him forward.

Jilin was dragged more than ten meters away by him, "Let go! I can walk by myself!"

"If you leave by yourself, when can we go home?" Youcai kept nagging, "Are you and Baolin really siblings? Why is Baolin so fast and you so slow?"

Jilin was not angry at all when he was scolded. His temper could drive people crazy. Zhang Xiuhua sometimes suspected that the noisy Jilin in her previous life was not the same person as the current one. They were really different.

The two brothers finally finished harvesting the crops and returned home when it was already dark.

Youcai threw the grass into the rabbit nest first, then ran to Zhang Xiuhua with his short legs to discuss, "Aunt Zhang, can I find someone to cooperate with? How about Jidong? He also wants to raise rabbits."

Zhang Xiuhua glanced at Jidong who was doing his homework and asked, "Jidong, do you want to raise a rabbit?"

Jidong immediately interrupted, "No! I don't want to raise rabbits."

Youcai was anxious, "Don't you want to eat cake?"

Jidong smiled and said, "My aunt said that if I get first place in the exam, she will not only take me to a restaurant, but also buy me a cake."

Youcai took a deep breath and said, "In fact, with your intelligence, you can definitely eat it twice!"

Jidong thought about it carefully and said, "Forget it. I have to broaden my horizons and develop myself while giving Jilin a chance."

Talented: “…”

Why did he feel that Jidong was pointing fingers at him? As an older brother, he actually didn't take care of his younger brother. But Jilin was really slow! He must have been a snail in his previous life.

He couldn't argue with Jidong, so he looked at Zhang Xiuhua with a bitter face, "Aunt Zhang, can I beat Jilin?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head coldly, "No! He is your brother. If you beat him up, won't I feel bad?"

Youcai's face fell, and Zhang Xiuhua added, "If you hit him, your hand will hurt. Don't I feel sorry for you? You are so smart, you will definitely come up with a good idea!"

Youcai put on a smile again and nodded, "Yes! I can definitely think of a good idea!"

He wanted Jilin to go cut grass for the pigs in advance, but he was afraid that Jilin was too young and could not remember the way home.

After much thought, he decided to give Ji Lin a tough time.
