"Girl, the claw marks on Xiaohua's body have all scabbed over. I think they should heal soon."

Wang Shufen put down the basin and reached out to touch the little flower lying on the chair.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua stretched out her head and nuzzled against Wang Shufen's hand.

One of its front paws was still wrapped in bandages, and the claw marks on its fur had healed a lot, especially the one on its face, which had scabbed over and revealed pink flesh around it.

"Little Flower, don't shout."

Lu Fangfang put down the machete and patted its head.

The yard is full of quails; we mustn't scare them.

Little Flower tucked one of its front paws into its sleeve, looking at Lu Fangfang with a slightly aggrieved expression.

Lu Fangfang ignored it.

This little one has been restless these days, always trying to run away. Now she doesn't dare leave Xiaohua alone at home.

Sigh, not only was she feeling resentful, but Xiaohua was also indignant about the beast that had injured her.

Lu Fangfang is now scared. Xiao Hua went to confront him alone, and her husband hasn't come back yet. She feels she can't wait any longer.

She found an empty basin, took a wood-chopping knife, and started chopping corn cobs into it.

With a few slashes, a corn cob, kernels and all, was chopped into several pieces.

She chopped some more, and when it looked almost done, she picked up the basin and placed it in front of the little wild donkey in the yard.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey looked at a bowl of chopped corn and immediately wagged its little tail excitedly.

"Eat more, and come with me and Xiaohua the day after tomorrow."

Lu Fangfang took a brush and started brushing the hair on the little wild donkey's back.

As she scrolled through the page, she kept thinking about taking revenge.

Just as they were busy, Wang Shufen's cheerful voice rang out from the greenhouse of the breeding farm.

"Girl, girl, come quick, come in quickly."

Wang Shufen waved excitedly to Lu Fangfang through the glass.

"Um?"

Lu Fangfang was somewhat surprised. She put down the brush and quickly walked into the breeding shed.

"Shufen, what's wrong?"

"Girl, look! Look! Our...our quail at the farm has laid an egg!"

Wang Shufen led the girl directly to the bamboo cage.

The egg catcher originally designed had a dozen or so quail eggs scattered on it.

"It laid an egg? It really laid an egg!"

Lu Fangfang was taken aback, then filled with excitement.

It's only early August, and the first batch of quails has already laid eggs, which is more than a week earlier than she initially estimated.

Wang Shufen was also extremely excited.

She went to the storeroom and got a basket, then picked up the quail eggs one by one from the wooden board in front of the bamboo cage and put them into the basket.

"Girl, there are sixteen eggs in total. These quails have only been raised for a little over a month and they're already laying eggs. Girl, this is even faster than the quails we raise at home."

Lu Fangfang nodded, "Our farm takes better care of the animals, so they'll definitely lay eggs earlier."

She picked up a quail egg from the basket and looked at it, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Sixteen eggs, which means that sixteen female quails have started laying eggs.

There are 168 female quails in the cage, and they will start laying eggs one after another.

The day when their farm produces 168 quail eggs a day is not far off.

Feeling very excited, Lu Fangfang thought for a moment, then turned around and said:

"Sister Shufen, let's pick some strong male quails and put them in the female quails' cage. After a while, when they lay their eggs, we can incubate a lot of quail eggs at once."

"OK."

Wang Shufen nodded excitedly.

She took down the notebook hanging on the wall, wrote down the number of eggs she had collected that day, and then together with her sister, they picked out the male quails from the female quail's cage.

"Chirp chirp~"

"Chirp chirp~"

The second row of bamboo cages contains 147 male quails.

These male quails stayed together and were very aggressive; some of them had their back feathers pecked off.

The two men selected the healthy, plumage-covered male quails and placed them into the cages in the first row.

One male quail is paired with four female quail.

Soon, the two selected more than forty male quails and put them into the cage of the female quails.

Lu Fangfang clapped her hands and looked back.

The remaining male quails are of little use. After raising them for a few more days, they can be sent to the regiment's canteen.

"Sister Shufen, you don't need to feed these male quails any more good feed. Just mix some bran with tender grass shoots and feed them. Give the rest of the good feed to the female quails so they can lay eggs sooner."

"good."

Wang Shufen responded and leaned closer to the bamboo cage to examine it carefully.

Seeing that a quail looked like it was about to lay an egg, she quickly called over her sister.

The two of them, as if seeing a quail lay eggs for the first time, crowded around the bamboo cage to watch.

Inside the cage, the mother quail's feathers swelled, and with a push, she laid a quail egg.

The cage was angled, so as soon as the quail eggs hit the ground, they started rolling downwards.

Under their gaze, the quail egg slowly rolled out of the cage and came to rest on the wooden board outside the cage.

"Girl, the egg catcher you made is really useful. Otherwise, Lan Ying and I wouldn't be able to collect all the eggs when we raise thousands of quails."

Wang Shufen greatly admired her sister's ingenious ideas.

She picked up the freshly laid quail eggs, looked at them, and then put them in the bamboo basket.

She picked up the small notebook on the wall and quickly added another one.

"Sister Shufen, from now on, you can just pick them up once every morning and afternoon."

"Hehe, I'm just excited."

Lu Fangfang smiled and shook her head; she was excited too.
