Chapter 87
In the end, the family strolled around the town and bought nothing except a pound of fat, a few pieces of red paper, and a few couplets.

The red paper is bought home to cut window decorations, and the Chinese New Year will have a Chinese New Year atmosphere. Even if they have few family members, the window decoration couplets should be pasted wherever they should be.

And Dawa Erni brothers and sisters were very excited when they first got the money, and even kept talking about what they wanted to buy.

But until the end, when it was determined that even if he didn't buy anything, Erniang would not take the money back, they unanimously decided to buy nothing!

Now the food at home is much better than before. Whether it is Dawa or Erni, they are very satisfied and are not greedy for anything else.

Rather than spending this money, it's better to keep it and save it. After all, it's gone after you buy something. Keep it and watch it all the time, it's happier than spending it!
In the morning, Jiang Hu delivered the dishes to the restaurant, and then drove the ox cart back to Zhenkou. There is a special place for storing ox carts and carriages in Zhenkou, and one copper plate can be stored for a whole day.

After all, if they go to the market, it is not convenient to drive the ox cart. If they poop and pee, they have to clean up by themselves.

After driving the ox cart home, after arriving at the village, Jiang Hu also made a special trip to Liu Yang's house, and told Liu Yang's parents and told them that the young couple would not be back today.

As for Wang Xiang's situation, Jiang Hu also heard what Erniang said and explained it briefly. The two elders were also grateful. If it hadn't happened to meet Jiang Hu's ox cart, would the child in Wang Xiang's belly be saved? It's hard to say.

When he got home, Jiang Hu said while untying the ox cart: "Second Mother, I just saw that Liu Yang's family also raises chickens, but not many. The hens are not diligent in laying eggs this winter, otherwise in a few days, Send them a few eggs from our family?"

I sent the eggs to the restaurant today, but I don't have them at home.

In any case, Liu Yang helped him a lot, and Wang Xiang often talked to Erniang. A lot of things in the village were known through these two couples.

Reasonable, Wang Xiang is pregnant, they should go and see.

Erniang did not refuse: "Okay, our eggs are delicious. I'll save them for a few days and send them to Wang Xiang. How about twenty?"

"Enough, not a lot." If this was sold to a restaurant, it would be forty copper coins.

Eggs are not expensive, but they are not cheap either. One copper plate is one, and their family sells it to Tongfu Restaurant. The price is doubled, and two copper plates are one.

Erniang put the purchases home and turned around to get the rabbits and chickens out.

At night, the rabbits and chickens have to be called back, locked up, and released every morning. Erniang can't do this work yet, and Erniang went there herself.

The weather was good today, it was cloudy for several days, and it finally cleared up today. They left early in the morning, and it was almost noon now.

However, Erniang left for less than a quarter of an hour when she suddenly shouted, "No, Brother Hu, we have two less bunnies!"

Jiang Hu had just tied the cow to the cow pen, and carried a bundle of cow grass over there, ready to lead it to the mountain in the afternoon.

Hearing Erniang's cry, she almost trotted over: "Less little rabbits? What's going on?"

Not to mention Jiang Hu, it was the big baby Erni who heard it and rushed over in a hurry, screaming as she ran.

And Xiaomi under the eaves, patted Tie Dan's head: "Be good and play here."

Then he slowly walked over to the chicken pen.

As soon as I walked in, I heard her mother say, "Really, look, there used to be seven in this litter, but now there are only five."

Er Niang was very anxious: "Why are there only two missing? Could it be that he ran away by himself, so small, where can he run, will he freeze to death outside."

Jiang Hu was checking the rabbit house. This was made of wooden boards. The gap was only two fingers wide. When the door was closed, the rabbit could not escape.

The rabbit house is not small. Dozens of rabbits, big and small, are kept inside, and it will not appear crowded. When the door is opened, there is an open space outside where they can move freely.

The rabbit house checked again, and the large circle of fences outside checked again, and finally Jiang Hu shook his head and came back.

"There are so many little rabbits, and I have never seen them run away, and there are fences outside, so they can't escape."

Erniang looked distressed: "Then why are there two missing? It must not have been stolen. It's so small that stealing may not be enough to support it."

"No, almost every household in the village has rabbits, and if they didn't, they bought two from our family before, so they won't come to steal from our family."

On this point, Jiang Hu is still sure, no matter if others are of good quality, clean hands and feet, or if they are afraid of stealing their own things, they will lose their luck, but there is really no need for everyone to steal two little rabbits.

"Mom, could it be eaten by something on the mountain? Didn't Dad say that he saw an eagle on the mountain before?"

The big baby also counted it. Everyone knows how many chickens and how many rabbits in the house. There are indeed two little rabbits missing.

Eagles can also eat rabbits. When my father mentioned this before, he told them to be careful.

Jiang Hu shook his head again: "It's definitely not an eagle. If it were an eagle, it wouldn't catch the locked rabbits. They caught them when they were released. Erniang, when you closed the rabbit house last night, did you count them?"

Erniang shook her head with a bitter face: "It was getting dark at that time, and I didn't bring an oil lamp. Who would have thought that there would be two less."

Xiaomi has already arrived at the moment, standing next to him, not daring to speak, pretending not to know what is going on.

Jiang Hu checked the door latch of the rabbit house: "There are no signs of damage anywhere. It is estimated that it may have been eaten by a weasel or something."

Weasels are very thin, and it is not impossible to stretch out their claws to catch two.

"Shouldn't the weasels steal chickens? What are they doing stealing rabbits?" Er Niang was so heartbroken.

Rabbits grow fast and grow heavy. Two little rabbits, if they grow up, how much will they sell for?

Jiang Hu also felt distressed, but he could only shake his head: "I don't know either, but let's raise a dog. A dog will look after the house. If there is a weasel, it can help us out."

Xiaomi, who had been afraid to say a word, finally slapped her hands and said happily, "Dog, dog!"

It’s good to keep a dog, it doesn’t matter if you don’t chase a weasel or something, but it’s safe to keep a dog!The family is equivalent to having one more bodyguard!

However, Xiaomi's reaction obviously made Er Niang and Jiang Hu misunderstood, and the two looked at each other.

Jiang Hu: "Since Xiaomi thinks it's good to have a dog, then I'll look for it tomorrow. There are often puppies in the market. I'll buy one when I find a suitable one."

Erniang nodded again and again: "If you have a cat, buy one too. There is food at home, and there are no mice in raising cats."

Jiang Hu responded, and now there is no shortage of food at home, and cats and dogs can afford it.

Xiaomi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay, no doubts came to him, nor did he cause any other trouble.

It's just that Xiaomi is worried. This pheasant and domestic chicken, she is also going to steal two chicks. How can she start at that time?
