Chapter 70

Chang Le and Wang Chunyan became left-behind children. When the other three went out and came back, Tutu had already given birth.

The mother rabbit was very tenacious, and gave birth to five in one breath.

Chang Xi approached it lightly, and coaxed and tricked the Tutu family into a comfortable cage. The scent of green grass was lingering, and the Tutu quieted down.

Wang Chunyan pointed to a black and white rabbit and said, "It's so beautiful."

Chang Le pointed to it, and a pure white one said, "I think it's beautiful."

Chang Xi stood behind the two, looking at their childish behavior like an adult looking at a child.

"Can I come and see the rabbit often?" Wang Chunyan looked at Chang Xi expectantly.

"Of course, you like black and white bunnies, right?"

"When it's full moon and still alive, I'll give it to you to raise!"

"Really?" This time Wang Chunyan was a surprise.

"I keep my word." She smiled slightly.

Just now, Wang Chunyan paid the most attention to the black and white rabbits. As a good friend, she is of course willing to satisfy him, so there is nothing wrong with giving them to her.

Wang Chunyan stood up and hugged Chang Xi: "Thank you, I want to go home and tell my mother the good news."

Knowing that the rabbit is her own, Wang Chunyan's heart is as sweet as eating candy.

Wang Chunyan walked forward, while Wen Furong led the dog back home.

"Mom! Our family has a rabbit!"

Wen Furong took a look at the brand-new rabbit cage, then at the bloodstain on the door of the kitchen, and didn't understand anything.

The big white dog had a sharp nose and barked at the blood stains on the ground. The little gray rabbit heard the dog barking aroused the desire to protect, and the fur all over his body exploded.

Chang Xi noticed the little gray rabbit's fear and stopped drinking.

"Dabai is not allowed to bark, you should go home!"

Chang Xi was really angry, and understood the emotions of people who felt it. It was like a child who did something wrong, with its ears drooping and its tail tucked between its ears, and it just babbled but didn't yell.

"Don't chatter, be quiet!"

Immediately afterwards, Dabai didn't even have a whimper.

Obediently lay down beside the fence, afraid that Chang Xi would attack it again.

"Humph, this is good!"

Chang Xi was very satisfied with Dabai's performance, the house was quiet, the rabbit was nursing, and Chang Le was feeding it alfalfa one by one.

Her mother was fetching water to clean the blood on the door of the kitchen.

The two older brothers were sorting out the wild fruits, taking them out and placing them neatly on the dustpan, for fear that they might break if squeezed together.

When Wen Furong was away all morning, she found a lot of things in the house, and pointed to unknown roots and leaves to ask Chang Xi.

"Bao, are these what you want? If you don't want them, I'll sweep them away."

"Yes!" Chang Xi fetched water to wash, stretched out his hand and shook it, Wen Furong realized something was wrong.

"What happened to your hand?"

"Oh, when I went down the mountain, I accidentally broke my skin, and I have already been prescribed medicine."

It's just that the skin was broken and there was no bleeding, Wen Furong breathed a sigh of relief.

Call Chang Le to come over and help clean, and don't allow Chang Xi to get wet.

Chang Xi is only in charge of commanding the movements. The hibiscus leaves are cleaned, wrapped in gauze and kneaded to produce a natural viscous juice, which can replace shampoo.

Wash the other whitening medicinal materials and put them in the sun to dry. Wen Furong started talking.

"The Cao family said that there are no personal things here, so they don't come here to get them. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also left for us."

"No one in our family can write." Chang An muttered.

Chang Xi didn't speak, and glanced at her elder brother and younger brother. In ancient times, there was a saying that everything is inferior, and only reading is high.

If a grassroots family like theirs wants to turn around, they not only need to earn money, but also need scholars to take the imperial examination.

Chang Xi regained his composure before saying, "Mother, since Mr. Cao's kind intention, let's keep it."

"Actually, he mentioned to me about studying. I think it is a good thing to study, but I don't want to bother people all the time, so I declined."

"Our family earns a lot of money and hires tenants to help cultivate the land. When the next time the village school recruits, let the older brothers go to school."

At present, the Chang family has five acres of fertile land and one acres of reclaimed land, but there are only six members of their labor force. Even if they don't do other things, these six acres of land are enough for them to work.

But how could Chang Xi allow his family to be tied hands and feet by the farmland?
There is only one way to hire tenants and free everyone from the fields.

Only have time and energy to do other things.

Chang Xi had planned it out, but she didn't know that her words stunned the whole family, Chang Ping smiled: "Xi Bao, you really have a whimsical imagination."

"Third sister, you have such a big tone."

Wen Furong only said some unrealistic things when she thought her daughter was naive. She knew her daughter was kind, so she didn't say anything to blame, but just explained.

"Employing tenants usually requires hiring a whole family, and they get one-fifth of the harvest in the field. Do you know how expensive it is to hire a family?"

"Counting the farm tools and the old cattle for plowing, the whole set will cost [-] taels of silver a year!"

It was only then that Chang Xi realized that a professional tenant family had everything they needed, and even the old scalpers didn't have to buy it separately, which was a surprise to her.

"It turns out that as long as ten taels of silver, everything can be rounded up!"

"As long as it's something that can be solved with money, it's not a problem!"

"Mom, don't worry, I will make money well!"

Chang Ping was a little ashamed: "Xibao, didn't you hear clearly, what mother said is ten taels a year, not ten taels a lifetime!"

Chang Xi giggled, she didn't care about the money. "

"After being reminded by Cao Jingxiu, she is now focused on letting her elder brother and younger brother learn culture and farm work, let alone ten taels, and she is willing to pay even 20 taels.

"I hear you clearly! Brother, don't worry!"

What is the best way to get money quickly?
Chang Xi thinks hard, and thinks that she still needs to go to the mountains, go to the deep mountains and old forests, and dig up some medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma.
Now that the sun is hot, Chang Xi decided to go to the mountain tomorrow morning.

At the same time, the Cao family is in dire straits.

Mrs. Cao stayed by the old lady's side for a month with her clothes undressed. The old lady drank the medicinal soup, but her condition did not improve.

Today's condition worsened suddenly. As soon as Wen Furong left, a doctor from the town was called in.

The doctor checked his pulse and shook his head, saying it was useless, so he asked the Cao family to prepare for the funeral in advance, maybe they could make a rush.

As a doctor, he said such superstitious words as Chong Yi Chong, which was a blow to the Cao family.

Mrs. Cao couldn't hold it anymore, she sat in the lobby and shed tears.

"During the Chinese New Year, my mother could still talk and laugh. How could she be so sick that she couldn't get out of bed after a few months?"

Cao Qian's daughter-in-law and sister-in-law Cao Feng's took turns serving the old lady. Today it was her turn to rest, and she touched her haggard face, and she sighed.

"Since the doctor said to give it a go, why don't you try it?"

She advocated preparing for the funeral. She definitely didn't want to watch the old lady die. It was because her mother-in-law had been ill for too long, which dragged her down to take care of her from time to time. The little sisters wanted to get together, so she had no time to go.

Now even her body and face are dragged down, and she can't sleep well all day long. The old lady hangs her breath.

It's okay to be filial for a while, but who wants to serve the elderly for a lifetime? !

Anyway, she doesn't want to!
