Candide in Chronology is on strike

"What? All the rabbits you raised were sold. Why?"

Hearing Liu Mei ask why again, Qin Xi rolled his eyes, but still gave her a simple explanation: "The weather is bad now, and the condition of rabbits is not good. Besides, people have nothing to eat, so how can there be any food left to feed rabbits?" .”

This surplus food does not refer to grain, but to wild vegetables. Now the wild vegetables she finds every day are barely enough to feed her family. Don't even think about rabbits. This is the fundamental reason why the more they are fed, the thinner they become.

Hearing this, Liu Mei was stunned. She thought of herself and Qin He. Qin He was not a diligent person. When he was asked to do some work, he had to be urged and asked. Generally speaking, he would be whipped. With the current situation of the couple, even if the rabbit comes into their hands so easily, can they feed these three rabbits?
At this moment, she no longer wants to change the rabbits. How to prepare fodder and successfully feed the three rabbits at home is what she and Qin He should consider now.

It was at this time that Liu Mei discovered that she knew nothing about raising rabbits. Whether it was the taboos of raising rabbits or what rabbits could eat and like to eat, she was blind and knew nothing.

So, she could only talk to Qin Xi with a smile on her face, trying to get something out of her: "Xiaoxi, this rabbit will eat all grass and is not picky about food."

"Can both dry grass and fresh grass be used to feed rabbits?"

Qin Xi was helpless. How ignorant must he be to ask such a question?

"No, some grass rabbits can't eat."

"You don't need to ask me about this, just ask Qin He. He is very familiar with this matter."

After all, Qin He has actually been raising rabbits for two or three years. To him, these problems are simply child's play.

Liu Mei returned home in a daze. She didn't know what was going on. Following Qin Xi's words, she decided to let the matter go unnoticed. It was simply embarrassing for her to fool him away with just a few words.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say that you went to Qin Xi to exchange for rabbits? Where is the rabbit you exchanged for?" Qin He said sarcastically when he saw Liu Mei returning without success.

He couldn't stand Liu Mei's arrogance, but the wife he married was thinking about him all the time and suppressing him.

That is to say, Liu Mei is pregnant now, otherwise, she would definitely go further.

"She sold all the rabbits and said she couldn't keep them alive?"

"Qin He, what should we do with our rabbit?"

"The weather is so bad now that we can't even find wild vegetables for ourselves, let alone for the three rabbits."

You know, rabbits are animals with good appetites. Three rabbits need to eat a lot every day!
"What should I do? Let's eat it cold!" Qin He said the new words he heard from Qin Xi very smoothly.

"If you can raise it, raise it. If you can't, send it to the black market in the county to exchange for food. The price of food was so expensive before. Now the price of meat will only be more expensive. This rabbit will definitely be sold for a lot of money."

"You can keep them first! If you can't keep them anymore, I will go to the black market and exchange these three rabbits for food and carry them back."

"I haven't seen my brother or his friends all day today. They went to the black market to sell rabbits for food."

Qin He knew exactly how long it would take to get to the county seat by car. Since Qin Jiang and Qin Xi didn't come back at noon, the two of them must have gone to the county seat.Qin He became a little anxious when he thought that the brother and sister next door had exchanged the rabbits for money and food. He was afraid that he would be late and not be able to sell them at a good price, and he was also afraid that the food on the black market was outrageously expensive.

"Okay, let's keep it for now, and when we can't fix it, we'll sell it on the black market."

After the couple made a decision, they felt that the sky was bluer, the water was clearer, and the whole person suddenly became clear. It felt so good to have good communication, discussion, and no need to argue or yell.

Early the next morning, Qin He took Liu Mei to dig wild vegetables and cut green grass. Since the rabbits were delivered, the rabbits didn't have a good meal yesterday. If they don't work hard today, the rabbits will die. It's time to strike.

When the two of them went out, they met Qin Xi and Qin Jiang, but no one spoke first. The two brothers only nodded as they passed each other.

Qin He and Liu Mei went to the fields under the dam, while Qin Jiang and Qin Xi went directly to the reservoir. The dam separated the two sides.

The reservoir is not big, but it is quite deep. Now there is only water in the groove in the middle, and even the gate is exposed. Don’t even think about releasing the water, but the wild grass on the edge of the reservoir is still quite green, and the wild vegetables are growing It is also more watery and green than other places.

On the edge, layers of yellow mud traces represent the former water level, but the hero is no longer as brave as he once was, and now the water level has receded to the area around the original well.

According to today's drying method, the reservoir will be dried in as little as 20 days or as long as a month.

The reservoir is the brother and sister's new secret base. Nothing grows in the old secret base, except for some grass that grows close to the ground and is very drought-tolerant. Naturally, the two of them don't like to go there. .

After working on the edge of the reservoir for more than half an hour, the wild vegetables in the basket were very fluffy. It looked like there were a lot of them, and I could just press them with my hands to make enough for the bottom of the basket.

"Brother, sit under the shade of a tree and rest for a while!"

The sun has come out now. It's obviously still morning, not the hottest time of the day at noon, but Qin Xi feels hot when the sun shines on her body.

At this time, they don’t need to work too hard. After working for half an hour, they can take a break and relax. Now that the rabbit has been sold, they don’t need to work so hard to prepare the weeds for the rabbit to eat. Compared to Previously, the workload was reduced by more than four times.

In this case, of course it is necessary to combine work and rest!Treat her body as kindly as possible to the best of her ability. She doesn't want to wait until she gets old and suffer from all kinds of problems.

"Okay, I'll be right away." Qin Jiang wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve and said with a smile.

Although the wild vegetables growing beside the reservoir are juicy, they are not big in size. I don’t know the specific reason why.

At this moment, Qin Jiang raised his head inadvertently and saw several wild ducks swimming in the middle of the reservoir.

"I don't know when this wild duck came. I haven't seen it before!"

Forget it, no matter what, Qin Jiang happily walked to the edge of Qin River and pointed at the wild ducks playing in the reservoir: "Xiaoxi, look, wild ducks."

Wild ducks are smaller than domestic ducks, they can fly, and their feathers are darker in color. They look very gorgeous under the sunlight.
